PLEASANT GAP.
A beautiful form is often deemed
more desirable than a handsome face.
William A. Weaver just returned
from a visit to Uniontown and Scott-
dale.
Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Sholl, of Belle-
fonte, spent Sunday at the Edward
Mulfinger home.
Mrs. Harry Lohman was favored
with a week’s visit from her mother,
Mrs. Clemens, of Berwick.
Mr. and Mrs. Crumlish and son
Billie have just returned from a
week’s visit at Asbury Park, N. J.
Miss Virgie Markle and Bobby are
visiting in Philadelphia. They are
guests of the former’s sister, Mrs. N.
O. Patton.
Harry Rimmey and family left a
few days ago for their home in Olean,
N. Y., after spending two weeks with
his father.
Accountant Paul Keller, wife and
daughter, after spending a week at
the Gap, returned to their home in
Philadelphia.
Mrs. L. Fry was tendered a fare-
well party Tuesday evening, by the
members of her Sunday school class.
The affair was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
Our esteemed pedagogue, Miss Ma-
ry Hile, entered Lock Haven Normal
on Monday. Mary is right in her am-
bitions, since “intelligence is the life
of liberty.”
David Keller, of Philadelphia, has
returned to his home after spending
a week with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ephriam Keller, and numerous other
friends here.
The family of George Gettig was
favored with a visit in the person of
Albert Griffith, of Pittsburgh, who
spent two veeks very agreeably at the
Gettig homeste:wd. .
Master Samuel Noll was reported
sick the past two weeks, but the
plucky youngster mustered up suffi-
cient courage to follow the crowd to
the opening of school on Monday.
We had quite a refreshing shower
on Sunday last, which will recuperate
garden vegetables somewhat, but it
came too late to make much impression
as our gardens are almost down and
out.
The family of Samuel Weaver, in-
cluding his daughter, accompanied by
Mrs. H. S. Brooks, of Spring Mills,
spent Saturday and Sunday at the
Pleasant Gap hunting camp, located in
the Seven mountains.
Miss Jean Noll, who will graduate
from one of the leading hospitals in
Philadelphia, as nurse, January next,
returned to Philadelphia a few days
ago to finish her course. We regret to
say that the young lady in question,
anticipates making Philadelphia her
future home instead of returning here
to her many admiring friends. Miss
Jean is a born nurse and no matter
where she locates she is bound to
reach the topmost rung of the ladder
of her chosen profession.
Earl Rimmey, wife and son Keith,
accompanied by David Rimmey, mo-
tored to Altoona on Sunday last and
brought Mrs. Annie Roush and son
Tommy to the David Rimmey home,
where they expect to remain for a two
week’s vacation. Mrs. Roush is bet-
ter known here as the former Miss
Anna Rimmey. She says they are
getting along very nicely in their new
home in Altoona, but she regards it
as a great pleasure to occasionally
mingle with her many old-time friends
at the Gap.
Gentlemen should give way to the
ladies in all things; woman is the
queen of the world, and man is her
humble subject. There is a reason
for this, as is readily apparent if men
will stop to think a moment. Women
are the mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters of men, and they should
command the respect due them by vir-
tue of their exalted station. Man is
the natural protector by reason of his
superior physical strength, and it is
man’s duty to see that woman is pro-
tected at all times from harm of any
kind.
It is the emotion implanted in a
gifted man that inspires him with a
wish to communicate his thoughts and
feelings to others; to teach them pie-
ty; clean keeping of all laws. The
fairest and best specimens of human-
ity, the individuals who do something
worthy of commendation and lasting
fame, are not always found in the pal-
aces. They are not all born in the
purple. There are kingly men and
queenly women, not dependent upon
the banker, the clothesmaker, or the
universities for their diplomas of dis-
tinction. To be a truly great man is
to be a good man.
Our schools opened in very good
shape, on Monday morning. The at-
tendance for the first day was encour-
agingly large. Prof. Baird was re-
elected principal of our High school,
which means assured success for that
growing institution, while Harry Bre-
on very wisely succeeds himself in the
grammar school. Comment as to Har-
ry’s qualifications is not necessary,
he being one of the old veterans and
one of the most successful teachers in
the county. We have every reason to
‘believe that the balance of our schools
will succeed admirably well since our
school board filled all with proficient
instructors.
In shaking hands, be cordial. Do
not extend a finger or two, as this is
an insult. Men should not press the
hands of ladies, nor should they crush
the hands of their male companions.
Casual acquaintances need not shake
hands. Salutations or greetings
should not be extensive; “good moin-
ing,” or “good afternoon,” will suf-
fice, with a short query as to health.
Women who kiss each other on the
street render themselves ridiculous;
they should never kiss a male relative
in public. Calls of ceremony should
not be lengthy—fifteen minutes should
suffice. If you prolong your stay you
ing, and in addition to giving them a
refreshments, furnished by the ladies,
are apt to weary your hostess, who
may, without risk of offence, indicate
her desire for your departure, in
which case you might suffer humilia-
tion. It is better to depart regretted
than to leave a feeling of relief be-
hind, and if one gets the reputation of
being a bore by reason of lengthened
visits it will stick to him forever.
When you leave, do so gracefully; do
not hesitate, yet beware of abrupt-
ness.

! He got along very well indeed until
j one day he came to a place where the
roof of the “gallery” was far too low
to allow the pony to pass. Conse-
quently, he took a pick and commenc-
i ed to hack away part of the roof.
Immediately a foreman came on the
scene and asked what he was doing.
; The lad explained that he was making
a way for the pony to pass.
“Now, that’s a very dangerous thing
to do,” said the foreman. “You might
bring the whole roof down. What you
ought to do is to cut away the floor.”
“D’ye think I'm a fool?” retorted
the lad. “It’s the pony’s head that
won’t go through—not his feet.”

Laugh It Off, Brother.
Secretary Hoover has been asked to
stop all radio transmission, because it
is believed to be affecting weather |:
conditions, particularly in the south.
The writer, a citizen of Mississippi,
asks if it is not possible that we are
disturbing the structure of the atmos-
phere by means of radio transmis-
sions. It is apparently agreed, he
points out, that matter is simply elec-
trons in its final analysis. We are
sending endless streams of these par-
ticles into the upper stratums for half
of the day period, which may change
the polarity of the earth and air, he
states. Much matter broadcast is not
essential, he asserts, citing prohibition
and evolution doctrines and reports.
Adding that what we do need is water
for at least half a crop. He believes
we could dispense with the nightly
screech and scratch until it could be
determined whether or not we are dis-
turbing moisture conditions.

Rare American Stamps.
The first official use of postage
stamps was sanctioned by an Act of
Congress of March, 1847. On July 1,
1847, the first stamps were issued.
They were a 5-cent and a 10-cent
stamp. The 5-cent stamp bore the
likeness of Franklin, while the 10-
cent stamp bore the portrait of Wash-
ington from Stuart’s painting. Pro-
fessional stamps were issued prior to
1847 and were used by postmasters at
some of the larger offices. They con-
sisted of an impression placed upon
letters with impressions such as “paid
5¢,” the name of the office, etc. These
stamps are very rare and are among
the most valuable known.
All's Well.
This was after the lovers’ quarrel.
“I can never forgive you,” he cried.
“Last night you said I was a lobster.”
“But my dear,” she replied, coyly,
“you must remember how crazy I am
about lobster.”
With a glad cry he folded her to his
+ heart.
