“Bellefonte, Pa, March 18, 1927. somo Fire Prevention Clean-Up Campaign. The committee on Fire Prevention Week for the National Fire Protection Association, has taken over the spon- sorship for an international fire pre- vention clean-up campaign to be con- ducted throughout the United States and Canada during the third week in April. T. Alfred Fleming, of the Con- servation Department of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, is chair- man of the N. F. P. A. Committee on Fire Prevention Week. This campaign will be conducted in a whole-hearted manner, with concert- ed action in every part of the country, so that the lesson of fire prevention will be carried home to as great a part of the public as possible. Insurance men, company officials, field represen- tatives and agents in every town are urged to communicate with commerce chambers, city officials and civic clubs and te impress them with the neces- sity of starting such a campaign now. Not only to minimize the fire loss but for the general benefit of public health sanitation, beautification and the elim- ination of dangers that are constantly imminent is this movement being con- ducted. Spring clean-ups have been carried on in many towns for years, frequent- ly under the auspices of civic organi- zation, with the assistance of the mu- picipal authorities. They have been conducted partly for reduction in fire waste, but principally to make the communities more healthful and at- tractive places in which to live. The committee on Fire Prevention Week is not endeavoring to change the na- ture of these local observances, but rather to induce other communities to inaugurate similar movements and by suggesting a uniform date to create greater interest and lead to an annual clean-up throughout the United States and Canada.

Fete Days Dependent on Church Sun Dicl In 1743 a meridian column was set up in the old Church of St. Sulpice, Paris, for determining the date on which Easter and other church fetes would fall. The column bears a long vertical mark extending down its cen- ter; this mark is prolonged on the floor. Together these two lines de- termine a vertical plane in space, which if sufficiently produced would include the earth’s axis and through which the sun would pass at noontime as the earth rotated. In order to make this event visible a small slit was cut through the roof of the church in the same meridian plane. Through it the sunlight pene- trated, slanting downward toward the line below, and swept across it at noontime. As Easter approached, the sun’s altitude in the heavens increased until the spot of sunlight finally crossed the line at the marked point. Since the other fetes followed Easter by an arbitrary lapse of time, the old meridian column, installed by Maurice de Sully, determined them ali.—Scienr- tific American. Character Is Shaped by Means of Thought Every day we are becoming more like our thoughts. If they are mean and selfish, we cannot prevent our- selves from becoming so. If they are unclean and evil, our character and conduct will inevitably be shaped by them. It is true that as a man “thir* eth in his heart, so he is.” As Charles Kingsley says: “Think about yourself; about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you, and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch; you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything which God sends you; yon will be as wretched as you choose, or earth or in heaven either.” And on the other hand, loving thoughts will produce loving acts, and a generous, kindly way of regarding others in our own minds will bring us to a generous, kindly treatment of them in daily life.—Pentecost Herald. Manners and Breeding I make a difference between good €qanners and good breeding; although, in order to vary my expression, I am sometimes forced to confound them. By the first I only understand the art of remembering and applying certain settled forms of behavior. But good breeding is of a much larger extent; for "besides an uncommon degree of literature sufficient to qualify a gen- tleman for reading a play, or a politi- cal pamphlet, it takes in a great com- pass of knowledge; no less than that of fighting, dancing, gaming, making the circle of Italy, riding the great horse, and speaking French, not to mention some other secondary or sub- altern accomplishments, which are more easily acquired.—Jonathan Swift. , Post-Facto Postcards fhe acme of preparation was at calned by a woman whom the Boston Herald tells about. She had gone to a hospital to undergo an operation. Be- fore the surgeon arrived she asked for two postal cards, wrote a short mes- sage on each, addressed them both to her husband and asked the murse to mail the one It was best to mail the next day. The nurse glanced at the cards ana saw that one of them read as follows: “My dear husband: [I have had the operation and am doing nicely. Will be at home in a week or two.” On the other card was written: “My dear husband: I have had the operation and am sorry to tell you that 1 did not survive.” Cassowary’s Vengeance A cassowary in New Guinea, after a lormal magistrate's inquiry, was con- victed of murdering two human be- ings. The criminal had been tethered in a native village as a pet, and, no doubt, had been thoroughly teased. Breaking away, it nursed its griev- ances in the bush until full grown. Then it came back and made war on the natives. A man named Tauno was killed in his own' garden, and his mother, who went to look for him, was also murdered. Such was the terrorism caused by the cassowary that people in the vil- lage were ordered not to go out alone. Soft Bed Saves Sleep if you earn your living mainly by orain work, you cam save at least two hours of rest every might by sleeping on a good, soft bed. Such is the con- clusion reached by Dr. Donald A. Laird of the department of psychology. Colgate university, following a series of experiments with students. By measurements of mental reactions in terms of calories, says Popular Sci- ence Monthly, he found that a soft bed will build as much mental energy in six hours as a hard bed will build in eight. China’s Olympic Games More than 3,000 years ago China aad gladiators who met in a contest somewhat like the modern Olympic games. These gladiators amused and thrilled the crowds not only ‘with fancy juggling, but with real en- counters between champions, one de- fending himself with a scimitar while the challenger tried to plunge a long spear into his body. Their skill would hold the audience breathless. There is an effort on to revive these feats of skill and strength. Objects of Aversion Hard to Understand Even fruit and flowers have affected people curiously. The secretary of Francis I used to stop his nostrils with bread if he saw a dish of apples to prevent an otherwise inevitable bleeding at the nose. A king of Po- land had an antipathy both to the smell and sight of this wholesome fruit, and a family of Aquitaine had a hereditary hatred of it. Gretry, the composer, could not endure the scent of the rose; neither could Anne of Austria. The mere sight of the rose was too much for Lady Heneage, bed- chamber woman to Queen Elizabeth; indeed, Kenelm Digby records that her cheek became blistered when some one laid a white rose upon it as she slept. A violet was a thing of horror to the Princess de Lamballe, while tansy was amobinable to an earl of Barrymore, and Scaliger grew pale be- fore watercress. The harmless cat has frequently been an object of aversion. Henry III of France had so great a dislike to cats that he fainted at sight of one, and it was said of the duke of Schom- berg, as it was said of another fa- mous soldier of our time, that he could not sit in the same room with 1 cat.—John o’ London’s Weekly. Woman Accorded High Rank in Intelligence That Anatole France had a high re- gard for women may be gathered from the conversation which took place be- tween himself and his secretary, Sandor Kemeri, and which is reported in her book, “Rambles With Anatole France.” “ “The intelligence of the woman is very high and she Is ready to go to all extremes in asserting herself,’ he says. ‘More than the man she is aware of the age in which she lives, because she carries it within herself. In our search for the history of the past it fs the woman who shows us the way. It isshe who makes us fore- see the future, it is the woman, heroic, sentimental, romantic, emancipated. independent. She was taken from Adam’s breast, near his heart, brought to life "by his ardent desire. How could she be anything else but his image? Therefore the woman's des- tiny depends on the man.” Traders Made Own Coins Mincing lane, London, the cente: of the wholesale tea trade, derives its name from certain tenements there once owned by the “minchuns” or nuns, of St. Helen's. There in the time of the Plantagenets lived a col- ony of Genoese traders called galley- men, because they brought their wines and other merchandise to Galley wharf. They were a wealthy and powerfui ~eople and one time issued a silver coinage of their own. These coins, known as “galley half-pence,” were broader than the ordinary English sil- ver half-pennies, but not so thick and strong. Their use was prohibited by an act of parliament @ ‘the reign of Henry IV. : Shopping in China 2'inding one’s way in Chinese cities nas its difficulties Capt. Robert Dol- lar, well known American steamship man, once set out to visit a wholesale store in Chefoo. He describes his ex- perience as follows: . Wirst we went through a grocer, score into a courtyard containing beds of flowers and shrubs; from there we followed a crooked alley three feet wide into another courtyard, then through another three-foot alley into a small open square. Bordering this square was the wholesale establish- ment we were in search of. There fs, however, nothing unusual in finding important stores ig such obscure lo- calities in that country, . Pupils Taught Poisoning doth boys and girls are taught the poison arts in the jungle schools, and at the conclusion of each school it is customary to experiment on some member of the class. At the boys’ school the victim usually is some un- ruly member of the class. At the girls’ school, it is some iconoclastic maiden who has dared voice criticism of the tribal marriage customs. In case a child dies at either school, its: parents are not apprised of the fact until after the close of the school, when the fetish doctor breaks a white bowl in front of their hut. 1. W. L. and the Telephone it seems that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow inaugurated the veiee with-a-smile campaign in conneetion with telephone operators. No better proof can be had than the line im “A Psalm of Life,” in which we read, “Tell me not in mournful numbers.” And as for waiting for a number, the following is given in “The Courtship of Miles Standish”: “Till some ques- tioning voice dissolves the spell of silence.” Does it not speak for ft- self? Old-Fashioned Mothers she looks to the affairs of her house- onold and she cherishes her babies. She sings, and her songs are the joy-hymns of the mother heart; she cuddies her pabies as mothers have done since the beginning; and she is proud of her kicking, crowing “latest” though she loves them all alike. She doesn’t mind the pitying jeers of the unfortunate class of her sisters who fail to see in the home the divinest temple of peace and happiness that has been ordained by God.—Jackson (Texas) News. This Year’s Training Camps. Sufficient funds have been appro- priated by Congress at its current session to provide food, clothing transportation to and from camps, training, etc., of 4,300 young men from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir- ginia and District of Columbia at Cit- izens’ Military Training Camps this coming summer. Announcement to this effect was made by Major Gen- eral Douglas MacArthur, U. S. A, Headquarters Third Corps Area, Bal- timore, Maryland. Since the original encampment in 1921, this annual period of one month’s physical training and citizenship in- creasingly popular. Applications to attend these encampments invariably exceed the number provided for and are gradually increasing with the de- velopment of new features. It has therefore become necessary to assign population quotas to the various coun- ties, and to follow the “First come, first served” rule in approval of ap- plications. A large number of appli- cations to attend this year’s encamp- ment have already been received. In past years, Camp Meade, Mary- land, has been one of the largest camps for this purpose but will be supplanted this year by other mili- tary stations in the Third Corps Area, to be announced in the near future. Yeung men desiring to attend camp this year should make early appli- cation to the local representative of the Military Training Camps Associa- tion, or to the C. M. T. C. Officer, Headquarters Third Corps Area, Bal- tiimore, Maryland, from whom the necessary information and application blanks may be obtained. The Watchman publishes news when it is news. Read it. It Sounds Like the Truth. Dr. John A. Hutton says: ‘We recall the fine story of the Methodist lay preacher who took as his New Testament lesson the 21st chapter of the Revelation of St. John. Once he had entered upon the list of the twelve gates he made heavy work of it, with the beryls, and the jacinths, and the chrysoprasuses, but there was a moment when his eye lit up as though now hz saw his way. Finally he announced with a beatific counte- nance which was probably a mingling of physical relief that his task was over and also a genuine rapture over the assured prospects of his church throughout eternity: “And the twelfth a Methodist!” —Subseribe for the Watchman, NOTICE OF RECEIVERS’ SALE.

FAUBLES Overdoing? Hurry, Worry and Overwork Bring Heavy Strain. ODERN life throws a heavy burden on our bodily ma- chinery. The eliminative organs, es- pecially the kidneys, are apt to be- come sluggish. Retention of excess uric acid and other poisonous waste often gives rise to a dull, languid feeling and, sometimes, toxic back- aches and headaches. That the kid- neys are not functioning perfectly is often shown by burning or scanty passage of secretions. More and more people are learning to assist their kidneys by the occasional use of Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diu- retic. Ask your neighbor!
