Your Health,
The First
Concern.
MAR
Everybody knows a lot about the
muscles. But do you know you have
two kinds of muscles?
There are some which work auto-
matically. Entirely without your
knowledge or conscious effort these
muscles do their work. They are
called involuntary muscles.
A striking ‘example is the heart.
This organ is made up of muscles.
They contract and relax without your
aid and in spite of anything you may
try to do to prevent it. Asleep or
awake, year in and year out, your
heart—Old Faithful—goes on about
its business.
Most of our muscles are of a differ-
ent sort—the voluntary kind. They
never act except when we order them
to do so. They are entirely within the
control of the will.
Shut your hand, clench it tightly.
See the knuckles grow white, so great
is the pressure of these voluntary
muscles. Open the hand, spread out
the fingers—your will to do this is all
that is needed. The muscles respond
to your desires.
So long as you are in normal health
the voluntary muscles will do as you
command. When they fail to answer
your summons, something is wrong.
Some children are afflicted by the
loss of control of certain muscles. The
face may be drawn into horrid grim-
aces. The head is drawn to one side,
the eyes wink rapidly, one shoulder is
raised and the arm twitches. An on-
looker is shocked at the antics of the
sufferer.
Of course, the child is unhappy: ov-
er the effects of muscular contractions
which. he cannot control. He is
ashamed to face his playmates.
This particular form of disturbance
in the voluntary muscies is known to
‘the doctors as “chorea.” By the laity
it is called “St. Vitus’ dance.”
About one-fifth of the nervous dis-
eases which children have is this par-
ticular ailment. Children from 5 to
15 are the ones most commonly af-
flicted. It is “outgrown” usually and
rarely continues into adult life.
Chorea is a city disease. Of course,
it may be found anywhere, but the
housing and feeding problems of the
city poor are factors in its produc-
tion. Overstudy, worry and excessive
fatigue are in the background of
many cases.
Bad teeth, diseased tonsils, rheuma-
tism, measles, whooping cough and
scarlet fever—any one of these may
be the beginning of an undermining
of the nervous system. St. Vitus’
dance may follow.
If the teeth are defective or the
tonsils diseased, the doctor will give
_ attention to their condition. When
these troubles are removed, it is very
probable the child will improve rap-
idly. Not only will the nervous dis-
turbance disappear, but also the gen-
eral health will be better.
Eyestrain cannot be disregarded as
among the exciting causes of chorea.
Properly fitted glasses may do a lot
of good.
The child must not be laughed at or
ridiculed. If he cannot be protected
from this misery, he must be taken
from school. Rest and fresh air are
important. So are good food, regu-
lar exercise and entertainment.
The killing and maiming power of
‘the automobile is spoken of from time
to time but the effect of this elo-
quence up to date seems to be ex-
tremely slight. The newspapers re-
cently have been giving much space
to automobile accidents; a careful
analysis of this unfortunate news
indicates that a majority of the
casualties refer to children, said Dr.
‘Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of the
Department of Health.
Too many people behind the auto-
mobile wheel are chceking up on the
manufacturer’s claim for speed, and
thus having discovered the thrill of
power habitually exercise it.
Race-track velocity is dangerous
even on a race track, but on the
streets of a city it is criminal. for it
is vnder these circumstances that the
automobile asserts an independence
which results in acicdent oi death.
City highways are not speedways
and the sooner the average driver
realizes ths fact and cuts down his
exirerae driving, just that soon will
fatalities to pedestrians show a de-
crease.
On the other hand, it is not always
the motorist’s fault. Grown-ups ari
children especially are prone to dash
out into a street in an utterly careless
spanner. It is at a time like this that
even inachines under control get in
their deadly work for they are not
given a chance to do otherwise.
The safety idea, whiiz primarily in-
volving the automobile driver, has a
close second in the palestriar’s per-
sonal concern for nis weifare. This
talk hewever is especially directed to
parents.
An automobile danger-consciznce
must be developed in the children.
Safety to life and limb should be
emphasized to the point that young-
sters will be on guard against the
reckless driver and even against the
automobile that is entirely under con-
trol. If the deliberate production of a
fear complex is ever justified it be-
comes so with respect to the automo-
bile’s unfortunate ability to hurt and
lay.
Health officials have made remark-
able strides within the past twenty
years regarding conservation of child
jife. But no amount of information
or scientific prevention can argue with
a car going fifty miles an hour on a
city street when a chiid thoughtless-
ly runs into its path.
STATE, PIONEER IN PAPER
MAKING HAS 13 BUSY MILLS.
Employs 7200 with Annual Output
Valued at $60,000,000; Much
Wood Imported.
Pennsylvania, home of the first pa-
per factory in the colonies, today has
thirteen pulp mills In operation, ac-
cording to a study made by the De-
partment of Forests and Waters. The
capital investment in the industry, de-
pending entirely upon the forests, is
$50,000,000 and the value of the an-
nual production reaches $60,000,000.
_ The first paper factory was estab-
lished at Roxborough, now a part of
Philadelphia, in 1793. One of the
owners became State Treasurer and
another Attorney General.
David Rittenhouse owned a half in-
terest in this pioneer paper mill and
his partners were the celebrated Wil-
liam Bradford and Thomas Tesse. Da-
vid Rittenhouse was State Treasurer
in 1777 and William Bradford was At-
torney General in 1791. The paper
made in this mill was from rags and
turned out in single sheets by hand
labor. Pennsylvania can lay claim,
not only to the first paper mill among
the colonists, but also the first soda
pulp mill and the discovery of the sul-
phite process of pulp manufacture.
A patent was taken out in 1830
by Louis Wooster and Joseph E.
Holmes, of Meadville, for making pa-
per pulp from wood. They used
slacked lime and aspen trees in the
process. This is not only the first
record of making paper pulp from
wood in Pennsylvania, but the first
definiite record of its manufacture in
the United States, according to re-
searches of State Fuiester Joseph S.
Illick.
The first experiments with the sul-
phite process in Pennsylvania were
made by Benjamin Tilghman, of Phil-
adelphia, in 1865.
Today there are thirteen pulp mills
in Pennsylvania. Blair county has
four. York and Elk counties two
each and there is one mill in each of
the six counties of Erie, Potter, Clin-
ton, Monroe, Montgomery and Phila-
delphia. These pulp mills show a
capital investment of $50,000,000 and
annual products worth $60,000,000.
The industry employs 7,200 persons
and the wages and salaries run ap-
proximately to $12,500,000 annually.
They consume 420,000 cords of pulp
wood annually. Seventy per cent of
this is imported into the State and
thirty per cent is home-grown. The
principal species used are softwoods,
including spruce, hemlock, balsam, fir
and yellow pine.
It is estimated that 500,000 acres
of well-managed forest land will be
required to maintain the pulp mills
of Pennsylvania and supply them con-
tinnously with wood. The pulp com-
panies now own about 100,000 acres
of woodland in the State.
The largest machine for making
book paper in the United States is
located at the plant of the P. H. Glad-
felter Paper company, of Spring
Grove, York county. This machine
makes a sheet of paper 168 inches
wide at the rate of 600 feet per min-
ute.

Detour Bulletins to Show Complete
Data on Touring.
Distribution of the weekly detour
bulletin issued by the Pennsylvania
Department of Highways, in im-
proved form, was started yesterday
with the 1928 construction season in
full swing. Old route numbers are
used temporarily until pole markings
have been changed in accordance with
new! numbers.
The weekly oiling schedule, former-
ly issued in folder form and tabulated
according to counties, is incorporated
in the detour map with a distinctive
coloring.
A black base map, the same type
employed in former years, shows the
complete State Highway system. De-
tours are shown in ied overprinting,
roughly indicating tne route of the
detour. Detailed explanatory notes
furnish complete information as to
the type of road, length of detour,
with any warnings necessary as to
hazards in bad weather.
Oiling operations under way during
the week are overprinted in green,
showing the exact location of the oil-
ing. This work is carried on a half-
width system in checkerboard fash-
ion. Work on the left hand side con-
tinues for a quarter of a mile, when
operations are transferred to the oth-
er side, leaving the half highway
clear until the first oil treatment has
dried.
Incorporation of the oiling schedule
with the detour bulletin furnishes
complete information to the motorists
who would avoid detours and desires
to keep his car free from oil.
Bulletins are distributed for dis-
play at garages, service stations,
club rooms of automobile associations
and various public places which afford
the widest display.
The department does not attempt
to furnish this bulletin to individu-
als for their private use due to the
limited number available. Each bul-
letin is calculated to serve as many
as possible.

Measure, 128 Years Old, Meets Pres-
ent Standard of Bureau.
H. H. Colgan, sealer of weights and
measures in Adams county, has for-
warded to the bureau of standards in
the Pennsylvania Department of In-
ternal Affairs a set of five liquid mea-
sures ranging from a half pint to a
gallon, with a request that they be
tested. The measures are probably
the oldest in use in the State, having
been made in 1800 by Gillard Dock, of
Harrisburg.
The measures are of copper, with
brass trimmings, and are in excellent
condition, notwithstanding their one
hundred and twenty-eight years of
usage. Tested with the standard
measures in the department, they
were found to be accurate and will be
returned to Colgan with the sugges-
tion that they be used for another 128
years in testing measures in Adams
county.

GLOOMY PROPHETS SEE
DREADFUL YEAR AHEAD.
World-wide catastrophes, including
wars, floods, earthquakes, and violent
industrial upheavals, will make the
year 1928 one of the worst in history,
according to the popular prophetical
almanacs published in London.
Old Moore’s almanac, probably the
best known, predicts wars and rumors
of wars throughout the world. Indus-
trial unrest will occur at intervals.
The political parties in Britain will
undergo startling and unexpected
changes with at least one big up-
heaval likely to set Britain in a fer-
ment.
Western nations are urged to guard
against the awakening of China, with
its consequent reaction on the oriental
temperament.
In the first of the five eclipses
which occur during the year, three of
the sun and two of the moon, it is
predicted that every effort will be
made to bring about the fall of the
British government and to involve
Britain in warfare. Political enter-
prise from Rome will endanger the
peace of Europe, the forecasters say,
and the Mediterranean basin will be-
come a seething cauldron by the first
week in August. :
The next eclipse, it is prophesied,
will witness martial feelings in Italy
toward Austria. Secret plots against
Britain will be hatched. War in the
East will be followed by active war-
fare in many places.
A revolution among transport
workers and mysterious deaths in
high places feature the third eclipse,
says old Moore. Otherwise the per-
iod is a blank.
The falling of the fourth eclipse on
the horoscope of Mussolini is a final
warning to the projector of the Ro-
man empire, it is predicted. Musso-
lini is told to beware of France. There
is a sign of active hostilities from
Rome eastwards. This will be fol-
lowed by a great earthquake. Eu-
rope will face many exchange prob-
lems, and Britain will be no excep-
tion.
Danger to London is predicted in
the final eclipse. There will be great
alarm among the inhabitants and a
hasty exodus. The city will be un-
der a “cloud” greater and more dis-
tressful than the worst of its historic
fogs. The people will have to face
great hardships in regard to food sup-
plies and transport service of all
kinds.
Some compensations are offered.
The people will become more sober,
while religious effort will receive a
good deal of encouragement. Good
weather is predicted.
As a final warning, however, old
Mocre foreshadows the spread of
Russian propaganda in India and
China.
Raphael, “the Prophetic Messen-
ger,” has no soothing oil in his al-
manac. ou
He predicts floods, earthquakes and
widespread death and disaster early
in the year, to be followed by a cres-
STUDEBAKE.

cendo of disaster at the year end. De-
cember will be marked by great
storms, and devastating earthquakes,
affecting America, France and Eu-
rope. Britain will be faced by the
danger of a great mining disaster.
March brings news of wars and
declarations of war. Mussolini may
be endangered, the almanac states,
while fascism is likely to fall as a
house of cards. A fearful fire and a
railway accident, hurricanes, and seis-
mic shocks will follow.
Sickness, labor revolts, a great
spread of drug victims and other
forms of vice, a wave of crime and an
outbreak of pests of various sorts, are
also predicted in the new year.

Studebaker Stands Supreme
These marvelous records made by Studebaker
and Erskine cars are positive proof that they
stand supreme and alone in their ability to
travel thousands of miles at high speeds with-
out mechanical trouble.

Studebaker and Erskine cars may safely be
driven forty miles an hour the minute they
leave the assembly line. Engine oil need be
