‘UNIQUE MUSIC IDEA PROMOTED
‘National High School Orchestra to
Be Assembled at Michigan Camp.
Centre County High School
Musicians Eligible.
Northern Michigan, which is the
home of many charms, is to be the
summertime home of the Nation-
al High School orchestra. Next sum-
mer, it is anonunced by Joseph E.
Maddy, of Ann Arbor, organizer and
presiding genius of this unique _or-
ganization, 300 of the foremost juv-
enile musicians of America will gath-
er for a profitable outing in the up-
per reaches of the Lower Peninsula.
The site has been selected, the officials
have been named, all is in readiness
for a project singular in the public
school music of the United States.
The National High School orchestra
was first brought together in Detroit
in April, 1926, as the outstanding fea-
ture of the convention of the Music
Supervisors’ National conference heid
in Detroit, when 230 picked players
from 25 States assembled for four
days of drill in preparation for the
concert given in Orchestra hall, con-
ducted by Ossip Gabrilowitch and Mr.
Maddy. The orchestra was again as-
sembled at Dallas, Texas, in March
of last year for the convention of the
National Education Associaticn, and
under the direction of Mr. Maddy 11
performances were given in the six
days of assembly. At Dallas the or-
chestra numbered 268 players gath-
ered from 39 States.
The camp site consists of 350 acres
of woodland one mile south of the
village of Interlochen and two miles
from trunk highway U. S. 31 which
leads to Traverse City, 12 miles to
‘the north. On the property is a nat-
ural depression which will be convert-
ed into an amphitheatre capable of
seating more than 20,000 and one of
the features of the camp orchestra
will be orchestra and band concerts,
operas and pageants.
The site of the camp is in the heart
of the northern Michigan summer re-

LIVING CONDITIONS IN
THE GERMAN REPUBLIC.
As Outlined by Native of Nittany
Valley, Clinton County.
Living conditions in the Republic of
Germany are well described in the
following letter written by Rev. Thom-
as F. Dornblaser, a retired Lutheran
minister, after a residence of four
years or more in that country. Rev.
Dornblaser is a member of the well
known family of that name, of Nit-
tany valley, having been born at Clin-
tondale, where he grew to manhood.
He later studied for the ministry and
was ordained in the Lutheran church.
He married a daughter of the late My.
and Mrs. Alexander Shannon, of Cen-
tre Hall, and in due course of time
located at Dixson, Ill, where he was
pastor of the church until his retire-
ment about four years ago at the age
of 81. Shortly after his retirement
he decided to go to Germany to look
up the grave of a scn killed in the
World war and being impressed with
living conditions there has remained
there for four years. He is now 85
sort district and easily accessible by
means of several trunk highways con-
necting with a gravel road leading ci- |
rectly to the amphitheatre, which will |
bring the entertainment features to |
within an hour’s drive of many thou- |
sands of resorters and vacationists. |
‘The camp is also recahed by the Pere |
Marquette and the Manistee & North-
western railways. A nominal fee will
be charged for the entertainments and
the proceeds used to help defray the
expenses of the camp.
The camp will be divided into two
sections, a girls’ camp on Green Lake
and a boys’ camp on Duck Lake, a
mile distant. Each camp will be
fully equipped with well built cot-
tages, each housing 10 players and a
counsellor. Each cottage will have
electric lights, running water, toilet
and shower rooms. Other equipment:
‘will include rehearsal buildings, mess
halls, assembly halls, boats, tennis
courts, golf course, bathing and base-
ball equipment.
The orchestra will be financed by
means of scholarships provided by
schools, clubs, citizens or business |
firms. Any high school may nomi- |
nate a candidate for the orchestra with
the understanding that if the candi-
«date is accepted the nominators will
raice the amount of the scholarship.
‘The scholarship fee is placed at $300
for the first year but will be ma‘er-
ially reduced as the equipment and !
‘buildings are paid for and the pro-
«ceeds from concerts applied toward |
the expense of maintaining the camp. |
‘Only high school students are eligible.
The project is under the auspices |
and direction of the newly formed
National High School Orchestra as-
sociation, a corporation organized for
this specific purpose. It is planned
to conduct the camp for eight weeks
each summer. The officers of the
Association are Joseph E. Maddy, |
president, and Willig Pennington, of
Detroit, secretary and treasurer. Mr. :
Pennington is an experienced camp
director and president of the Inter-
lochen resort association, the owner
of ‘the site. |

Furs to Take Proper Names. ;
Representatives of the fur industry
today agreed to adopt a system of
naming and marking furs under
which the correct name of the animal
from which the pelt was obtained will
be stamped plainly on the skin.
This move was made at a meeting
of the fur industry representatives
and the trade practice conference de-
partment of the Federal Trade Com-
mission. The plan will be forwarded
to the commission at Washington, and
provided it meets with approval, will
be adopted as standard by the indus-
try and enforced by the commission.
Coined trade names such as “Hud-
son Seal,” which is the skin of the
muskrat dyed to the color of seal,
and names designed to cover up the
fact that rabbit fur is dyed to sim-
ulate other fur, are practices against
which complaints have been made to
the Federal Trade Commission.

Nowawes Potsdam, Germany..
January 28, 1928.
Mr. C. S. Harter, :
Lock Haven, Penna.
Dear Cousin Charlie: —
I wrote a long letter about my trip
to Paris to meet the American Legion
and sent it to the Lock Haven Dress,
but I doubt whether they published it.
Dr. Dumm said they would be glad to
publish it. He said he would send
me a copy but none came. The peo-
ple here say they have the coldest
winter for twenty years. It is noth-
ing to what we have in America. We
never have more than two inches of
snow here and the thermometer is
seldom below zero on the centigrade
thermometer. The Gerinan people do
not keep their houses as warm as you
do. They have tall marble stoves that
reach tothe ceiling hut they throw
out little heat. They say it is not
healthy to keep the houses so warm.
I have a Fahrenheit thermometer at
my desk in my room and it ranges
between 55 and 60 degrees mest of |
i the time.
People dress warmer than you do
and I am following suit with a heavy
overcoat, two suits of underwear ard
; two pairs of woolen hose, and a cap
on my head. I am quite comfortable
hands get cold but I keep tlem in
my pockets most of the time. There
1s no danger of taking cold when you
' go out since the temperature is about
the same out as inside. One thing,
I enjoy going to Berlin about twice
a week. The cars are quite warm so
I become thoroughly thawed out.
Last evening I was in Berlin to hear
ian English lecture in the University
hall. An American gave a history
of the Boy Scouts. He had an audi-
ence of about 600. It was very in-
teresting. A number, myself irclud-
ced, asked him some questicns which
he cheerfully answered, Tomorrow,
Sunday, we are all going lo the Amer-
dean church. At 4.30 p. m. there will
be a social gathering for Americans
to get acquainted with one another.
We have music and an address of half
an hour, followed by a social hour,
during which the ladies serve tea and
cake to all present. These gatherings
are quite well attended and I fre-
quently meet people from Chicago
and other cities in America.
My plan is to visit the United
States this summer. Leaving here
some time in May I expect to spend
a few weeks in New York with the
Y. M. C. A, and hope to see more of
the city and get acquainted with its
great preachers, such as Doctors Cad-
man, Poling, Sheldon, and others. (

Physicians for the Well.
Physicians were originally trained
“to treat the sick. Until recently, they
have not had a primary interest in
the well. It is now increasingly easy
to find a physician who is interested
in his patient, who is desirous or
keeping him well, who is competent
to carry out a thorough examination,
and who is able and willing to give
constructive hygienic advice. More
and more the medical profession is
realizing that there is a tremendous
field for medical service in this pri-
vate practice of preventive medicine.
Most individuals can with advantage
be advised how to work easily, how
to play safely, how to live happier
lives in a hygienically constructive
manner, with the logical sequence of
a fuller life with greater duration—
a longer life and a merrier one.—Dr.

childhood and youth in Nittany valley.
This would furnish an introduction to

The rest of the summer I expect to
spend in Chicago and vicinity, with
my children, grand-children, and
great-grand-children. I want to cast
my vote for the next President. If
any party has the hardihood to put
up a wet candidate I want to help de-
feat him. Four years ago every man
I voted for was elected. I hope it
may so happen this fall. It is quiet
in Germany and the people are be-
coming better satisfied with their re-
publican form of government. I do
not believe President Hindenberg
would wear a crown if it was oiferca
to him. A regular building boom is
taking place here. Miles of fine, sub-
stantial buildings are being erected
between Potsdam aid Berlin. The
municipalities furnish the money, and
the police collect the rent. They have
no slum districts although some fam-
ilies live in one or two rooms, but
mostly clean and sanitary. Well, I
hope to see you before many months
and I better save up some things to
tell you then. With best wishes for
you and family, I remain.

General Hines of U. S. Bureaw
Launches New Policy.
Washington.—The United States
Veterans’ burean has been ordered by
the director, Gen. Frank T. Hines, to!
inawgurate a general campaign to
assist in finding employment for dis-
abled World war veterans, according
to a report made by Watson B. Miller,
chairman of the national rehabilita-
tion committee of the American Le-
gion,
American Legion posts throughout
the country will assis in the move-
ment, and General H nes, with his
bureau’s 54 field offices, and the bu-
reau’s thousands of employees, hopes
to effect contacts with employers that
will result in a general employment of
disabled veterans, and especially those
discharged from government hospitals.
General Hines has directed letters
to his regional managers calling at-
tention to that part of the World war
veterans’ act which states “That the
bureau shall have the power, and it
will be its duly, to provide for the re-
placement of rehabilitated persons in
suitable or gainful occupations.”
The director calls attention not
only to those rehabilitated by the bu- ;
reau under the vocational rehabilita- |
tion act, but to those rehabilitated
in bureau hospitals.
Former contacts with civilian
agencies are to be renewed, and atten-
tion is called to the fact that in filling |
positions within the bureau that pref-
erence be given to persons with serv

president of the National Association
of Audubon Societies.
“There are many of these eagles
teft,” said Doctor Pearson, “but from
what I saw of them and learned on
all hands, it is plain that the bird is
far less numerous than a few years
ago. Official records of the bounties
paid up to August 4, 1927, as supplied
me by Karl Thiele, secretary of Alas-
ka, showed that the feet of 40,753
eagles had been turned in for the $1
bounty (formerly 50 cents).”
Doctor Pearson also stated that or
all sides the eagles are regarded as
destructive to fish, ptarmigans, young
mountain sheep, fawns and young
blue foxes. “I found it very difficult,
however, to find people who had ac-
tually seen eagles performing any of !
these depredations, aside from eating
fish.”

CORRECT HEADLIGHTS
PROMOTE HIGHWAY SAFETY
The new motor vehicle laws of our
State, which were effective January
1st, are the most complete code on
the statute book of any State.
Among other items of the code, in-
tended to make for safety in driving,
is that portion relating to the adjust-
ment of headlights.
Many people in the past have re-
frained from night driving because of
headlight glare from approaching
cars, but under the provisions of the
new law, with liability for a fine of
$10 (or five days in jail) for improp-
er lenses or improperly adjusted head-
lights, the glaring menaces of the
night are sure to be largely if not
entirely eliminated.
The new law has also provided for
the authorization, under the depart-
ment of highways, of official headlight
adjusting stations.
Each O. H. A. is required to install
specified equipment, pass examination
on headlight adjusting and provide
‘blanks or official headlight adjustment
certificates.
To insure against overcharging by
unscrupulous stations, the department
of highways recommends a uniform
charge of 50 cents for inspection and
adjustment only. For the cost of
bulbs, lenses, reflectors and addition-
al time required for installation of
lenses and reflectors or the repair of
the damaged lights, the station is
permitted to make additional charge.
Many vehicles now being brought
in for adjustment show “glaring”
fault with the result that not only
‘does the approaching vehicle get a
glare but the driven car has very
poor highway lighting.
In this connection it should be not-
ed that correctly adjusted headlights
‘also give better highway lighting and
i two cars are thus made safer—it is a
i mutual benefit proposition.
Again we are informed that many
| bulbs have been used to the extent
| where their lighting efficiency is
i greatly reduced, thus giving much
{less than the 21 candle power pre-
| scribed by the law.
i Also many cars have apparently
i been operating with “only one eye”
i and no extra bulbs on board. This is
| inexcusable.
| Reflectors also are neglected and
become clouded, rusted, ete, Here is
a case of no glare, but the provision
of the law requiring clear visibility
200 feet ahead of the vehicle is not
met,
Careful study of the provision of
the new law show the reasonableness
of its intent and the portion relating
to lights is sure to result in increas-
ing pleasure and safety of night-driv-
ing for all motorists as well as safety
for other types of vehicles and pedes-
trians,
Getting Rid of Noise.
Scientists say that the noises of a
large city cost millions of dollars a
year in impaired efficiency of work-
ers.
Many of the older, more excruciat-
| ing noises of civilization are being
{ eliminated. Electric and zas welding
| is superceding the pneumatic riveter.
| Electric motors ‘replate*the n ois y
| steam engine. Asphaltic pavements
{and rubber tired vehicles give back
only a fraction of the clatter of the
| old steel tires on granite block pav-
ing.
| __ But the city is still fearfully noisy.
| Every unnecessary noise saps nerves
| and destroys health and working ef-
| ficiency. With ten people living where
one lived two decades ago, the sum
total of noises is larger today than it
was in the earlier days, hence the
| greater necessity for noise produc-
| tion.
To escape noise is one reason for
‘growth in the tendency to take in-
' dustry to smaller towns, where quiet,
| and better air, and more greenery and
‘more room and more individuality are
| possible. All these are definite, bank-
{ able assets for any industry.
Electricity, gas and sound-muffling
! pavement on streets are three of the
| most potent noise reducers, and work
| as ideally under rural conditions as in
| the city; with them industry in the
| smaller community can be almost
| noiseless and 100 per cent efficient.
Baboons May be Bred for Domestic
| Servants.
In case anyone should want a ba-
boon to aid in certain household du-
| ties, such as dusting, sweeping and
; other simple tasks, it would take on-
{ly 20 years of scientific breeding to
i render the animal sufficiently intelli-
‘ gent for this purpose.

State Asks Counties to Join in Road
Building.
Boards of county commissioners
which assumed office in January, are
to be asked by the State Highway
Department if they desire to take ad-
vantage of the fund allocated for
State aid road construction work. The
1927 Legislature appropriated $5,000,-
000 from the motor license fund to be
used in State aid construction.
The $5,000,000 appropriation was
for the biennium 1927-29, and appli-
cations for about $3,500,000 have been
filed by counties. The county com-
missioners have until June 1 to make
application for sharing in the fund.
Counties pay half the cost for roads
under the plan.
When the funds became available
the State allocated amounts to each
county based on the mileage of each
district. The money allocated to
counties not accepting the plan will
be re-allocated to other counties that
have filed applications for road work
costing more than the original sum
allowed to them.
County commissioners also have
until April 1 to file applications for
work under the special aid fund of
$7,000,000 allocated to the counties
by the department. No re-allocation
of this fund will be made, but all un-
used portions will revert to the de-
partment for State road construction.
The special aid fund and counties also
contribute an equal share toward con-
struction costs.
Pennsylvania Leads in American Le-
gion Membership.
A check for $18,900 for additional
American Legion membership dues
from the State of Pennsylvania just
received at National Headquarters of
the Legion, makes this State the lead-
‘er of all departments, including those
outside of the United States, in the
number of members.
The total Pennsylvania membership
for 1928 is now in excess of 30,000
and is 11,000 more than at this time
one year ago for this State.
Pennsylvania has always been one
of the “Big Three,” the others being
Illinois and New York. Iilinois led
the world last year, and is a close
second to Pennsylvania so far this
year, with New York several thou-
sand under.
Word received from James J.
Deighan, Pennsylvania adjutant of
the Legion, states that the Pennsyl-
vania Legion expects to exceed the
total 1927 membership during the
month of February. The 1927 total
was close to 60,000, and with 50 per
cent of the entire last year’s total
already paid up, before the month of
February has started, indicates the
goal will be reached if the present
progress is maintained.
Congratulations to the entire Le-
gion of Pennsylvania has been wired
to Deighan by National Headquarters
for passing Illinois in the big race.
How the Cupboard Got It’s Name.
“It’s in the cupboard” we frequent-
ly hear today when what is meant
ranges from “it’s in the china chest”
to “the sideboard” or the “dish clos-
et.” Although the contraption from
which the word “cupboard” had its
origin is now obsolete the term sur-
vives and is frequently applied to its
modern substitutes.
“Cupboard” gained a place in our
language from the fact that the cups
and plates of a household originally
had a place on a wide shelf or board
built over the meat dresser whose use
golfosponded to our modern serving
table.
In antique pieces and reproduc-
tions the literal cupboard can still be
seen, unenclosed, over the dresser
and so bearing little resemblance to
the closet arrangements which are
frequently endowed with its name to-
ay.

How Snakes Lay Eggs.
Egg-laying snakes, unlike birds, do
not lay an egg each day until the lay-
ing is completed. As a rule, all the
eggs laid by an oviparous snake in
any given season are laid within a
very short period.
The United States biological sur-
vey says a python measuring about
28 feet in length laid about 100 eggs
in one day. In the case of a little
; ring -necked snake it was observed
that in every instance except two all
the eggs were deposited in one day.
| This species of snake lays only from
‘three to eight eggs.
