NEW AUTOMOBILE LAW.
Valuable advice to motorists re-
garding their rights under the new
Vehicle Code of Pennsylvania, effect-
ive January 1, is contained in a state-
ment by J. Burton Weeks, president
of the Keystone Automobile Club.
One of the important changes in
the Pennsylvania law,” said I.
Weeks, “is the conferring upon mot-
orists of the right to sign a written
promise to appear fer hearing when
arrested for alleged violation of min-
or provisions of the law. This right
to give written promise applies to
non-residents as well as residents of
Pennsylvania.
“If a motorist has committed a vio-
lation of the code in the view or pres-
ence of an officer, the latter may do
one of two things—arrest the motor-
ist on sight or take his number and
lodge a complaint against him before
a magistrate within the county, in
which case the motorist will (or
should be notified by mail to appear
for hearing.
“If a person arrests on sight a
person violating the code, the rights
of the accused depend upon the na-
ture of the offense. For example: If
the acused is charged with (a) fel-
ony or misdemeanor, or the officer
has good cause to believe the accused
has committed such an offense, (b)
or driving while under the influence
of intoxicating liquor or narcotic
drugs, or (c¢) if an accident has hap-
pened resulting in injury or death of
any person, and the accused is
charged with an offense causing or
contributing to the happening of the
accident, the officer must take the de-
fendant immediately before the near-
est magistrate.
“In all other cases (that is, all
summary offenses under the code, ex-
cept those causing personal injuries
and death) one of four things may
happen:
“First. The accused may demand
an immediate hearing before a mag-
istrate within the county, in which
case it is the duty of the officer to
take him immediately before a mayor,
burgess, magistrate, alderman or
justice of the peace.
“Second. Accused may give to the
arresting officer a written promise to
appear within 24 hours before a mag-
istrate. It is then the duty of the
officer to release him.
“Third. The officer may give the
accused notice in writing to appear
at a time and place specified five days
after the arrest (unless the accused
demands an earlier hearing) and de-
mand that accused sign a written
promise to appear at such time. If
accused signs he should be immedi-
ately released. If he refuse to sign
the officer must take immediately be-
fore the nearest available mayor,
burgess, magistrate, alderman, or
justice of the peace.
“Fourth. If neither the accused
nor the officer make any suggestion
about signing a written promise lo
appear, and the accused does not de-
mand an immediate hearing, it is
nevertheless the duty of the officer to
take the accused before a magistrate
for an immediate hearing. :
“If the accused violates his writ-
ten promise to appear, he is guilty
of a misdemeanor, which is punish-
able by a fine of $75 or imprisonment
for ten days, or both.
“If the officer fails to accept the
written promise to appear and re-
lease the defendant, or where no
promise is given or requested, fails
to take the accused immediately be-
fore the nearest available magistrate,
the officer is guilty of a misdemean-
or and subject to a fine of $100 or 30
days’ imprisonment, or both, and sub-
ject also to removal from office.
Six Arterial Highways.
Designation of six important high-
way routes as through traffic roads
soon after January 1 was announced
last week by the State Highway De-
partment. The roads cover approx-
imately 1,250 miles.
Important routes to be set aside
as arterial highways by the depart-
ment under the new motor code are
Lincoln highway; Lackawanna Trail;
Susquehanna Trail; Lakes-to-Sea
highway between Harrisburg and
Eire; William Penn highway from
the West Virginia state line to
Franklin and the Yellowstone Trail.
A number of other main highway
routes will be designated as through
traffic roads later in the year. Mark-
ings through boroughs probably will
be done by the department with the
approval of local authorities. In the
cities the establishment of through
traffic streets is a matter for the
municipalities.
Markers informing motorists that
the routes are through traffic high-
ways will be placed at all intersec-
tions. The signs will bear the words
“through traffic, stop,” in letters six
inches high. They will be painted
black on yellow background. Many
of the signs will carry reflector let-
ters for illumination at night.
Rats.
Scientists say that world-wide war
between the black and brown rats is
raging. These two camps have been
fighting for centuries, always a strug-
gle between individuals and about
every ten years a war to death be-
tween the masses. A generation ago,
scientists say, the brown rat had al
most exterminated the black, but in
recent years humans’ fight on the
whole tribe had disturbed the balance
and now the foes are almost equal.
Man “thumbs down” on this fight.
More power to jaws and claws of both
and no truce until the end!—New
York Sun.

FRIESLAND HOME OF
WONDERFUL CATTLE
Netherland Province Cele- |
brated Dairy Center.
Washington.—“The province of
Friesland, in the Netherlands, which
recently held an agricultural fair at
the provincial capital, Leeuwarden, is
one of the most important dairying
regions of Europe,” says a bulletin
from the Washington headquarters of
ihe National Geographic society.
“Black and white Friesian cattle, a
breed known in America as Holstein-
Friesian, have found their way into |
most of the milk and butter countries
of the world.
“Friesian cattle were mentioned by
the Roman historian Tacitus as being
of importance as early as the year 28
A. D. Perhaps because of this early
start, or by reason of the favorable
location of the province in regard to
industrial cities of northern Europe,
Friesland farmers have grown pros-
perous through many years of furnish-
ing their neighbors with butter an?
cheese.
Grazing Land Below Sea Level.
“This northern province of the
Netherlands lies between that arm of
the ocean known as the Zuyder Zee
and the North sea. It is bordered by
a rim of dikes and high sand dunes
behind which the country is so low
that were these dikes to break the en-
tire province would be submerged.
During the summer months the cli-
mate of this low, flat plain is mild and
pleasant. Canal-bordered fields are
filled with black and white grazing
cattle.
“In winter, however, weather condi-
tions are often severe. Storms of
wind and rain may lash over the land
for days. The necessity for feeding
and warming milk cows during such
periods has developed a style of do-
mestic farm architecture peculiar to
Friesland. Barn and dwelling are
under one roof, which rises high into
the sky in order to provide loft space
for the immense amount of hay need-
ed as cattle feed during the long win-
ter. The whole gives the appearance
of a one-story cottage pushed low into
the earth by weight of an immense
pointed roof, which reaches above the
tops of the tall trees lining the road-
way.
“A hal! separates the living quar
ers of the farmer’s family from space
sei. agide for cows, which, as a rule, is
the larger portion of the house. Vis-
itors testify that these barns are spot-
less and odorless. Each stall is sand-
ed and has a window of its own, in-
evitably decorated with a fresh white
window curtain. Every cow has a
hath daily and many of their tails are
ticd up with ribbon. oh hk
“There is ‘always a milk room oi
dairy, equally ‘spotless, with scrubbed
tables and benches and shining brass
utensils. Such immaculate cleanliness
is obtained by much wielding of the
scrub brush on the part of female
members of the household.
“Friesian woman are noted for ro
oustness of stature and freshness of
complexion. The provincial costume
is still almost universally worn in the
country. This dress of many petti-
coats and tight bodice is surmounted
hy a head covering of unique splen.
dor. A gold casque with spiral orna-
ments over either temple is covered
with a cap of finest lace, bordered
with a frill across the back of the
neck. The gold portion of this head:
dress is one of the most valued treas-
ures of every provincial maiden. being
often a present of father or fiance,
or else a result of the savings of
years. Less fortunate maidens have
to content themselves with casques of
gold plate or of silver. Even the
threat of baldness from so tight a
head covering has not sufficed to de-
ter Friesland belles from wearing
their native millinery. It is said that
some. go so far as to cut off their
{ tresses in order to produce the fash-
iohable round shape to the head.
Bright Colore Prevail.
“Like the rest of Holland, wood
ork in Friesland is painted in the
brightest of reds, yellows, blues and
greens, perhaps to compensate for the
general grayness of the atmosphere.
Walls and floors are tiled in bright
colors whenever possible. Heat is ob-
tained by open fires of coal or peat,
or, of late, by the more modern gi-
gantic Dutch stove. Before this cen-
ter of household life the Friesland
farmer smokes on long winter eve-
nings and plans for the butter and
cheese of another year.
“Friesland cattle raisers are noted
ror their hospitality, which is espe-
cially enjoyed by English or Ameri-
can visitors because of the fact that
many words of the two languages are
the same. ‘Good butter and good
cheese, is good English and good
Friese, is an ancient proverb that can
be understood by both peoples.
“Friesian dialect is said to have
many expressions similar to the high-
land Scotch. Perhaps this accounts
for the fact that there are always
Scotch buyers at the Friesian cattle
fairs which for many years have fur-
nished blooded dairy stock to the mar-
kets of the world.”
Magpies Attack Children
Canberra, Australia.—Police of the
recently established capital of Aus-
tralia have been required to add hunt-
ing to their ordinary duties because
of the invasion by wild magpies.
The savage birds, as if resenting the
fnvasion of their domain, have at-
tacked the children of government of-
ficials.
Ce Ame n————-
Possibly Uncle Eph
: Had the Right Idea
When the late speaker Cannon was
a small boy, living on the Wabash, he
was taken to his first circus by an old
negro named Ephraim, And this is
what happened—ag told by the speak-
er to his secretary, L. White Busby,
and retold by the latter in “Uncle Joe
Cannon: The Reminiscences of a
Pioneer American.” Ephraim worked
for Uncle Joe's father, and it was
likewise his first visit to a circus.
“We looked at the elephant and the
camels and the lions and tigers”—Un-
cle Joe is telling the story—“and they
were all wonderful to me and also to
Uncle Eph, but what held our atten-
tion longest was the big baboon, who
stood up in his cage, manlike, bigger
than I was. Uncle Eph was greatly
impressed with the animal that bore
a resemblance to the human, and we
stood a long while in front of the
cage. :
“Uncle Eph was always respectful
and sociable with everybody he met,
When we stopped in front of the
baboon’s cage he took off his old hat
and, with a nod of his head, said:
.“‘How is you?
“The baboon stood holding to the
bars of his cage and staring at us.
Uncle Eph repeated this question,
and, getting no response, he looked
the animal over for a moment and
said :
“‘That’s right; you keep your
mouth shut or they'll have you in the
field hoeing corn like me’ And we
went away to continue our round of
the cages.
“I have seen,” adds Uncle Joe,
“men make reputations for wisdom
with their fellows just as the baboon
did with Uncie Eph. It is not a bad
rule.”
Rare Fishes Brought
Far From Their Home
Continuously flowing, steam-heated
sea water his enabled a cargo of scar-
let starfish, jazz fish and huge red
hermit crabs to travel in luxury from
the Madeira islands to the London
700. Between 80 to 90 exotically col-
ored specimens were successfully
transported from their native haunts
and added to the marine collections
by E. G. Boulenger, director of the
aquarium, Since these types require
a constant temperature and water
abundantly aerated, specially con-
structed containers were required to
bring them to their destination alive.
A large wooden tank was divided into
compartments and fitted with steam
pipes. Fresh sea water was pumped
continuously into the tank, which the
steam pipes held at a constant tem-
perature. Other high lights among
the cargo were chocolate and purple
castenet fish and puffer fish, which
blow themselves up like a balloon by
forcing air into their swim bladders.
When they desire to collapse the air
is exhaled with a noise like a squeak.
: Grecian Shrines
It was at Kalavrita that the begin-
nings of the Greek war for independ-
ence were made, and the tattered ban-
ner which the Archbishop Germanus
took with him from his cell when he
sallied forth to begin the contest is
still kept as the sacred war banner of
Hellenism and was brought out in
war with Turkey.
Another well-known shrine in
Greece, and one which is most fre-
quently visiteu by tourists, is that at
Meteora, where the giant needles of
rock are capped with extensive build-
ings to which the venturesome may
ascend either by rickety ladders set
in the interior crevices or by means
of a net drawn up by a creaking and
primitive windlass.
Reason for Sunday
fAow did Sunday become the first
day of the week instead of the seventh?
The Sabbath of the Jews was the
seventh day. of the week, the day of
cessation from work among all He-
brews, following six days of labor and
closing the week. Sunday was the
first day of the week celebrated in
memory of the resurrection of Christ.
It is therefore also known as the Lord's
day. In the Bible (in Acts 20:7) we
are told that the disciples in Troas
met weekly on the first day of the
week for exhortation and the breaking
of bread. Justin Martyr said that
Christians gathered then because it
was the first day on which God made
the world gnd because Jesus Christ on
the same day arose from the dead.
History of Potato
“The potato entered this country,”
Doctor Laufer said, in an address to
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, “not as sur-
mised by De Candolte, through an al-
leged band of Spanish adventurers,
but in a perfectly respectable manner
from Bermuda, where it had been in-
troduced some years previously from
England. It is a prank of fortune that
the potato, originally a denizen of
Chile and Peru, appears as a natural-
ized Englishman in the United States.
The potato bad arrived in England
about 1586, or a little later.”
Getting It Straight
“You say you didn’t write burning
letters,” thundered the lawyer for the
plaintiff in a divorce suit, “but here is
the proof in black and white.”
“Black and blue,” interrupted the
judge, “if you are referring to the let-
ters in your hand.”

Milk is 87 per cent water, but it’s
one of the best foods.
Next to wheat, potatoes are the
most important crop grown for hu-
man food.
The Agronomy farm at the Iowa
experiment station, Ames, Iowa, has
more than 600 concrete fence posts
on it. These were placed more than
nine years ago.
Feeding calves on home-grown
feeds and selling them as fat calves
at weaning, or as fat yearlings, con-
stitutes a system which increases the
income from the farm.
Sweet clover is positively the hard-
iest of the entire legume family. It
will stand wet feet better than al-
falfa, but alfalfa stands drought bet-
ter.
Chickens, as a rule, will not go any
great distance in search of feed un-
less they are half-starved, and it is
not profitable to keep thm in that

Guard rails around the pen will
prevent losses by providing a place
where the pigs will be out of danger
from the sow when she lies down.
For a few days after farrowing the
sow’s ration should be rather light.
The need for using improved meth-
ods in producing the public milk sup-
ply becomes more and more pro-
nounced as time goes on, says R
Posson, associate market milk spe-
cialist of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. As cities grow
larger or become more numerous, the
milk supply must necessarily be
transported from greater distances
and handled in larger quantities. To
withstand such treatment it must be
produced under the most sanitary
conditions.
Furthermore, says Mr. Possen,
there is an increasing demand for
clean milk en the part of the consum-
er, and health officials are requiring
that improved sanitary methods be
used in its production. Unless care is
taken in producing it, therefore, great
losses may result from the rejection
of milk by dealers or health depart-
ments and from the lessened demand
for low-grade milk. The responsibil
ity for clean milk at the source is
placed squarely on the shoulders of
the milk producer.
By observing certain precautions
clean milk can be produced with very
little more effort than milk which is
not clean. These precautions are dis-
cussed by Mr. Posson in Leaflet No.
3, Improved Sanitation in Milk Pro-
duction, just issued by the depart-
ment. The first requirement for clean
milk is a herd of healthy cows. Once
it is determined by-test that the cows
are free from tuberculosis and are
otherwise healthy, pains should be
taken to clean them fiotougly before
they are milked. Wiping the udders
with a damp lecoth removes the dan-
ger of contaminating the milk by
falling hair and dust particles. Since
bacteria cause milk to sour they
should be kept out of it by every pos-
sible means.

_ Further precautions in the produc--
tion of clean milk require .that only
healthy people be employed in a
dairy, that they wear clean clothing,
and that milking be performed with
clean, dry hands. The use of a small-
top pail is recommended as a means
of reducing the amount of impurities:
that fall into the milk.
Every dairyman should- be certain:
that he has a pure, safe water sup-
ply. Wells should be located on the
highest available ground. A separate
dairy house or milk room should be:
provided. Milk to be sold should nev-
er be handled in a dwelling as there
is toc much chance of dangerous con-
tamination in case sickness occurs im
the family. :
‘Milk utensils which are not prop-
erly washed or sterilized may be the
greatest source of contamination.
They should be rinsed inside and out-
side with luke-warm or cold water as
soon as possible after use, then placed
in a wash vat, scrubbed with a brush
in warm water containing a soda ash
or alkaline washing powder (not
soap, rinsed, placed in a sterilizing
cabinet, and thoroughly steamed.
The best way to prevent multipli-
cation of bacteria which unavoidably
get into the milk is to cool the milk
as soon as possible after if is pro-
duced and keep it cold. ' Bacteria are
tiny single celled plants, which like
most other plants, require warmth to
grow. If the milk is cooled to 50 de~
grees F. or below and held at that
J. | temperature, bacterial development is
very much retarded. Milk should not
only be kept cold until it leaves the
farm but should also be protected
from the sun and warm air while be-
ing transported from farm to city.

cured by writing to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D. C.
_ The value of wood ashes as a ferti-
lizer varies considerably, depending
upon whether or not they have been:
leached, kind of wood they came:
from, method of burning, etc. Good!
quality wood ashes contain 5 to 7 per:
cent potash and 1.5 to 2 per cent of"
phosphoric acid. If the ashes have
been leached by lying out in the:
weather they may contain not more:
than 1 per cent of potash and an
equal amount of phosphoric acid. The
amount of calcium will vary from 20
to 50 per cent but it usually runs be-
tween 30 and 35 per cent. By way
of comparison high grade ground
limestone may contain as much as 98
per cent calcium compounds.
If celery is not blanched while
growing the green stalks can never
be fully blanched. The common meth-
od of blanching and perhaps the best:
way is to hill up the growing celery
as it grows, with earth, It will
blanch slightly, when stored jin a
cellar or if grown in pots and placed’
in the cellar, but when stored for
winter most of the white stalks are:
