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.

Auto Fatalities Total 22,500 During
Year 1925.
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.

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.

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.

Minister Baldwin, “that pipe-smokers

breadth of vision denied to others.”
