I will- say without fear of contra- diction, that bathing is too much neg- lected in this country, either from ‘want of thought of its importance, or ‘want of convenience for its enjoyment; ‘but with little expense such conven- ience might be provided. Those who ‘have charge of families should make it a point to see that they are provid- «ed with such necessary facilities, and instruct them as to their use and ben- «efits and thereby not only preserve health, but save many a doctor bill. - "The present day renter, I am glad to say, when looking for a change of res- ‘idence usually inquires if the house contains a bath-room.

New York.—Automobile fatalities in the United States for 1925 totaled 22,500, an increase of approximately 2,200 over 1924, according to the re- port of the National Bureau of Casu- alty and Surety Underwriters. The study shows that automobile fatalities in 147 cities, including col- lisions with street cars and railroad trains, increased from 17,600 in 1924 to 19,800 in 1925.. Fatal automobile grade crossing accidents mounted from 1,688 in 1924 to 1,784 in 1925. The automobile death rate per 100,- 000 is shown by the report to have in-" creased from 14.9 in 1923 to 15.7 in 1924 and to 17.2 in 1925. The increase from 1923 to 1924, therefore, was 5 per cent. while the increase from 1924 to 1925 was nearly 10 per cent. From this it is deduced that fatal automo- bile accidents not only are increasing in number but the rate at which they are increasing also is rising. Registration of cars, the study shows, increased from 17,591,981, in 1924 to 19,954,347 in 1925. Fatality rates on the basis of registration have been decreasing for several years, but the rate for 1925 was practically the same as that for 1924. Deaths of children under fifteen years of age continue to be one of the most serious aspects of the auto- mobile accident situation, the report says. During 1925 it is estimated that 6,300 children under fifigen years were killed in automobile accidents, as compared to 6,090 in 1924. One encouraging aspect as developed in the study, however, is that deaths of children of less than fifteen years of age increased only about 33 per cent. in 1925 over 1924, whereas the fatali- ties among adults increased about 15 per cent. from China Land. In a letter to the home folks in Bellefonte Mrs. W. R. North writes some homey things which will proba- bly interest her many friends in this place, the purely personal matters be- ing deleted. FE Chungking, China, May 11. When your letter of March 17th reached me a week ago, I decided to answer it at once, but I didn’t do it. I certainly don’t know where the time goes. . I wish you could be here and see our flower garden. At home June is the month of roses but not so here. April is the month when the roses are at their best. They run all along one side of the house and form a back- ground for the marguerites, so you can imagine what a sight they were. We have blooming now geraniums (they grow wild here and there are so many of them), bachelor buttons, all shades, snapdragons, coryopsis, calen- dula, sweet peas, nasturtiums, a yel- low daisy, larkspur, straw flowers and honeysuckle. We’ve had so much rain the past three weeks that most every- thing is just about drowned, but the flowers have been lovely all spring. In the garden we have lettuce, rad- ishes, beets, several kinds of beans, corn, rhubarb, onions, parsley, carrots and tomatoes, but the only ones ready to use so far are onions and lettuce. The cut worms have made a mess of the garden. They chewed off the veg- etables as fast as they came through the ground but I think the worst is over now, so we’ll plant more seeds. We have lovely looking strawberry plants but haven't had a single berry. The cut worms and rain ruined them. Anna’s box came over a week ago and in it were the seeds you sent. I was glad to get them. When I read your last letter I think it dawned on me with greater force than ever before, what a change we are going to find in the home folks, and how changed we will seem to all our friends. Talking about going home, do you realize that in two years from now, just about this time, we will be on our way if all goes well. We and the Blanchards are the next in our mission in Chungking to go on furlough. I think I've done pretty well to get this far in my letter and never even mention Billy. He'll be nine months old next Monday and getting cute. Our cherry season has come and gone. We get only one kind here, red ones. I put up thirty pints and made ten pints of jam. Everything here seems to be veay quiet just now. At school there are no indications of trouble. Last year at this time school had been closed two weeks on account of the shortage of rice. This year the crop is good and rice is cheaper now than it has been for a long time. 5 No doubt the 80th of May will have to be celebrated in some way. That is the date of the shooting in Shang- | 4; hai last year. All such days are holi- days in China, until sometimes we think there are nothing but holidays. This week the students haven’t had a single day off, and it’s the first week in this term, I believe, that there hasn’t been at least one holiday. General Yang See, who was Gov- ernor of the province when we were in Chengtu, but who was defeated last year, is reported to be returning to Chungking soon. Foreigners and Chi- nese will be glad to see him back. He is quite friendly to foreigners and very progressive. While he was in Chengtu he widened all the streets so that now they are driving automobiles through them and rickshaws are as common as sedan chairs. There is also a road between Kwanhsien and Chengtu which he built over which they are now running a motor bus, making the round trip in a day. It took us two days to make the trip one way in our chairs. I wish we were in Chengtu so we could go to Kwanh- sien for the summer. Will now quit for this time. All well and happy. SARAH. To Kill Doe in Five Townships Next Winter. It is probable that five townships in the DuBois end of Clearfield coun- ty will be thrown open next winter to the killing of doe. Farmers in Brady, Bloom, Sandy, Union and Huston townships, have made complaint to the State Game Commission about the deer destroy- ing their crops, and to relieve that condition it is. understood that those townships will be opened to the kill- ing of does after the regular deer hunting season closes. “I have always found,” says Prime Minister Baldwin, “that pipe-smokers have a wisdom, a calmness and breadth of vision denied to others.” Well, as regards calmness, there is our Dawes.—Detroit News. All roads are well sign-posted in France. Each bears a distinctive number preceded by a letter indicat- ing its class—N for the main roads, D and GC for the secondary roads, and IC for the bypaths.
