“Bellefonte, Pa., December 10, 1926. MORAL MAXIMS There is nothing to be gainéd by be- ing a knocker. Candor is the brightest gem of criticsm.—Disraeli. Men who attempt to drown sorrow werely irrigate it. Money does not bring happiness: vor does lack of it. Genuine happiness is able to stand a lot of hard knocks. Some men never do anything op time except quit work When some men do you favors they never let you forget it. The man with a cool million a' ways gets a warm reception. When a fool holds his tongue he isn’t as foolish as he might be Lots of people make a specialty of pouring ice water on enthusiasm Of course a guilty man never gets « fair trial—from his viewpoin? The self-made man usually hurries and forgets to add the finishing touches. No mistake was ever made of kill ing the fatted prodigal son instead of the calf. any newspaper that has headlines that are read doesn’t need headlines that are red. dome men give their friends sure: thing tips on the principle that misery loves company. Reading maketh a full man, confer: ence a ready man, and writing an ex- act man.—Bacon. Jost of the bone which one ought to have in his spine Is sometimes found in the head. hen a man gets cold feet, that's timidity. When everybody gets cold feet, that’s pacifism. Jpportunity knocked on the door, out the man inside was so busy knock- ing he did not hear. Little-Known Incident in King Solomon’s Life Jolomon was sitting in his studio crying to think up a proverb, But he wasn’t having much luck. He was tired and listless, Inspiration wouldn't come, It was beginning to dawn upon him that he would have to order his affairs differently. Reaching for the phone, he sum- moned his lawyer. In a few minutes that individual entered. *T want you to get all my business straightened up,” Solomon directed his lawyer. “I am going to retire.” ‘Why,” objected his lawyer, “I'm rather surprised. You are not oid yet, and everything is in a most prom: ising state for you. Don't you think you had better reconsider?” “No,” sighed Solomon, “I must do it. I am forced to devote the rest of my life to my family.” “How {is that?” ‘I have bought a new car and I've got to teach my wives how to drive.” —Louisville Courier-Journal. War Babies “In France,” said Lord Beaver prook at a luncheon in New York, “they used to delight in keeping the birthrate down, but now they are do- ing everything on earth to raise it up. “Why? They frankly tell you why. Because, of course, they want plenty of soldiers to fight Germany with in the next war. In fact, they want to hear more oaby rattles now, so that they can hear more artillery rattle later on.”— Detroit Free Press. Seek to Rout Pneumonia #hysiclans are now studying dil gently new serums by which it is hoped to reduce the pneumonia death rate considerably. It is estimated by conservative medical statisticians that in the United States annually 140,000 persons die directly and indi- rectly from the disease. Heart dis- ease continues, however, to be the principal cause of death. Air-Cooled Engines alr-cooled engines have definitely challenged the position of the water- cooled engine for aeronautic purposes, according to a report given by Com- mander E. B. Wilson, U. 8. N, at a meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers. irishmen Eschew Fishing PDuring the economic transition n Ireland since the war it has been revealed that Irishmen do not go in for fishing on a commercial scale. Shores of Ireland are dotted with French and Belgian fishermen, who are making fortunes in Irish waters. Big Tobacco Revenue During the fiscal year 1926 the taxes on tobacco and tobacco manu- factures amounted to $369,534,282.90. In 1925 the amount collected was $344,121,296.55. PEACHES’ SUITOR, ‘DADDIE’ ASSERTS Browning Declares Girl Pro- posed Runaway Mar- riage—Sorry for Her. New York.—There is a rift in tne romance, or whatever it was, of “Peaches” Heenan and ‘‘Daddie” Browning. “Peaches” packed up and departed with her mother. For sev- eral days Browning could not be pre- valled upon to give his side of the story, but now declares that he knows of no reason for the break in their marital relations. Speaking of their marriage he now says that “Peaches” was the one who proposed. She sug- gested the runaway marriage and he felt so sorry for her he complied. “Peaches” has sent word through her mother that she will “never be back,” and is believed to be preparing for some part of a movie career. Browniug says he still loves her. “I love her and don’t !ove anybody else. I never spoke to any other girl during or after our courtship. And I'd be glad to have her personally back— with emphasis on the ‘personally,’” the real estate man remarked. Before him were three photographs of Dorothy Sunshine, his first adopted daughter. Dorothy, now ten, was adopted soon after his first marriage. She never has been punished, never “spanked,” and she adores him, he said. Above the picture of Dorothy were two larger ones of ‘‘Peaches.” Coat Cost $4,500. drowning recalled the day of his wife’s disappearance, and some other dates. He remembered a bill for $5,- 599 for clothing “Peaches” bought. He flourished the receipted bill. A sable coat, marked down from $11,000 to $4,500, because Browning had been “such a good customer,” was the chief item. He showed a paid bill for $167 from the same shop, also paid by him. The big bill included dresses, coats and hats, the first of which “Peaches” bought, Browning said. Browning also recalled the number Jf doctors and dentists (there were 15 of the former), to whom he insisted he sent “Peaches,” mostly to be treated for the mysterious acid burns she suf- fered before marriage. 7lese doctors were expensive, some in the $25 a visit class, he explained. Jne thing Browning didn't remem- oer—the date of his marriage. Browning denied he ever had con- sidered adopting “Peaches.” She told him she was twenty-three when he met her, he said. Then she said she was twenty-one, and later he discov- ered she was only fifteen. insisted she said one day. Browning said he explained that was “impossible.” He wanted to place i her in one of three well known schools for girls, he explained. but “Mrs. Hee- nan was unable to arrange it.” Then can the acid-throwing inci- dent and Mr. Browning felt so sorry tor the girl he accepted, he said. The marriage at Cold Spring by the vil- lage taxi driver-justice was a day or two after, Browning denied knowing anything about the acid-throwing. He told of calling several doctors. He rushed out without a coat or hat and got boric acid, sweet oil and cotton gauze from a drug store. Then he ran up the five flights of stairs and called a doctor, who covered her face with paraffin, he said. “She weighed 165 pounds in her fur coat, as against 135 pounds when I met her,” he said. Browning denied he ever ‘chucked any girl under the chin.” “But,” he said, “there’ll be no more adoptions and no more weddings. I'm througa with both.” Use Plane Propeller to Chase Movie Bugs dollywood, Calif.—Insects, hover- ing in the lights, used to be one of the grave problems of indoor photog- raphy of the screen. Now it van- ishes with a turn of a switch. it is the “bug machine.” Vhenever scenes are taken in which the big electric lights at the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer studio are used, the “bug machine” is wheeled up. It is an airplane propeller, driven by an electric motor. fhe lights attract thousands of moths, mosquitoes and other insects which, if left to themselves, would flutter in the beams of light and pass to and fro before the camera. In short focus they would look like fly- ing dragons or airplanes. But the great fan solves this. Its current of rushing air, invisible in the film, flies past the lights and keeps the unbid- den insects from camera range. German Soldier Gives Up Silver He Stole in France dam, France.—A troubled con- science has forced a German soldier to make restitution after 12 years for a wrong committed during the war. From Altona, Prussia, the mayor of Ham has received a huge bundle con- taining silverware which the sender declares he stole from a house in Ham when the town was pillaged by the Germans in 1914. He expressed re- gret for his act and said he hoped the mayor would restore the property to the owner, The mayor, however, is having a hard time of it, for the conscience- stricken German could not recall the exact lccation of the house he robbed, “Let's run off and get married,” he- black ene below.

To give. its full measure of happiness and cheer it should be carefully prepared and reach the addressee in time to be in keeping with the purpose for which it is sent. To this end the co-opera- tion of the mailers is necessary and ments may be made to care for the heavy mail during the approaching holiday season. Following are some of the conditions, which if complied treatment of your mail thus contribute i to the pleasure and satisfaction of all | concerned. 1 all mail matter. Addresses.—Address all matter plainly and completely in ink, giving street address er box or rural route number whenever possible. Place sender’s return card in upper left hand corner of address side. Tags should not be used unless necessary, in which case a copy of the address and return card should be placed in- side the parcel for identification if tag is lost. Packing and Wrapping.—Pack ar- ticles carefully in strong durable con- tainers. Wrap parcels securely, but do not seal them except when bear- ing a printed label or indorsement reading: “Contents — merchandise. Postmaster—this parcel may be open- ed for postal inspection if necessary.” Together with name and address of sender, as sealed parcels not so label- ed or indorsed in printing are sub- ject to postage at the letter rate. Limit of Weight and Size.—Parcels may not exceed 84 inches in length and girth combined nor weigh more than 70 pounds, if for delivery within the first, second or third zone, of 50 pounds in any other zone. Permissible Additions and Inclos- ures.—Parcels may be marked “do not open until Christmas,” this being permitted in order to encourage early mailing. Written greeting such as “Merry Christmas,” “Happy New Year,” “With Best Wishes” and names, numbers of symbols for the purpose of description may be inclosed with third or fourth class (parcelpost) mail. Books may bear similar dedi- catory inscriptions not of a personal nature. Other written additions sub- ject parcels to letter postage. Do not inclose letters in parcels, as doing so would subject entire parcels to letter postage. Seals.—Christmas Seals or stick- | ers should not be placed on the ad- dress side of mail.

Australia is adding to its list of first-class air service one that will be more of the omnibus crder, though the promoters speak of it as a taxi com- pany, says a Sydney, N. S.

The train journey between Sydney and Melbourne occupies more than eighteen hours and the airplanes will run on a time-table of seven hours for the through journey. Business people of Sydney and Melbourne have much intercourse, and it is anticipated that the service will be fully availed of. The other commercial services in the Commonwealth are giving satis- faction to travelers. Planes are be- coming of increasing use in connec- tion with the outback parts of Aus- tralia. There are cattle stations hundreds of miles from anywhere, and the proprietors of some now have their own planes. Others hire as re- quired. It is anticipated that this lat- ter class of business will see consider- able expansion. Planes will be tele- graphed for as required. The belief that planes will be of value in locating water and feed for cattle in areas hitherto unexplored is being justified by experience. Recent work in this line of endeavor has had interesting and valuable results. Min- ing prospecting is likewise being done, though at present not on any com- prehensive scale. There will be much more of it when more companies like the one mentioned above are operat- ing. Parties will hire a plane and pilot and in a week or two cover an area not open for inspection in any other way. The Commonwealth government is likewise giving increased attention to aviation, and it is probable that the ensuing few years will see a great in- crease. The visit next May of the Duke and Duchess of York will have an influence in this connection. The Duke is a practical aviator, holding his pilot’s certificate, and it is antici- pated that he will be heard from on the subject of the value of aviation to this island continent.
