Bellefonte, Pa., October 11, 1929.
Your Health,
THE FIRST CONCERN.
—In most articles, on mountain
climbing, the health benefits, the
scenery, etc., are discussed, but the
actual walking—how to use one’s
legs to the best advantage—is for
Joie reason touched on very light-
y.
In the mountains of Colorado, do-
ing a considerable amount of climb-
ing, I observed that the beginner's
most common mistake is overlong
steps. The farther you step upward
on a slope, the greater the power re-
quired. The less you bend the legs,
the more you save the muscles. A
man can stand erect under a load far
greater than that with which he can
rise from a squat position.
Even if your leg muscles in them.
selves are exceptionally strong, wind
endurance is most quickly taxed by
use of the legs, so this is another
reason for economy of leg strength.
Take short steps, leaning no farther
forward than necessary to maintain
your balance. Keep the feet point-
ed forward. It is true that turning
them outward lessens the leverage
strain on the calf museles, but ul-
timately it is bad for the feet, as the
turned-out walk is a common cause
of flat-foot. It is not the calves that
will bother you in a steep ascent so
much as the thighs.
— Determine just how little exer-
tion you can use and develop this
“economy step” to the point where-
in there is no excess outlay of ener-
gy. Some beginners at hill-climbing
begin to thrust the ground with their
feet when they get tired. This only
hastens exhaustion. When you feel
coming on a nervous, impatient “fit”
of that kind, stop and rest. When
refreshed, start again, always with
correct methods. It is bound to take
a little time to develop strength and
endurance.
__In going down hill the most com-
mon mistake is over-restraint. Of
course, one cannot just turn loose
and fall down, but too much effort
at holding back is extremely fati-
guing.
Going down is harder on the legs
than the ascent, though not so try-
ing to the wind. With the beginner,
the knees become so “trembly” that
The feels like collapsing entirely. This
is because the knee-joints have to re-
sist the fall of the bodily weight at ev-
ery step. The way to lessen the
strain is to use short steps.
If the slope is slippery, short steps
are particularly advisable. In such
case, you will notice, again, the in-
clination to rotate the feet outward.
Doing so somewhat diverts the ten-
dency to slip forward, but it isnot to
be encouraged for the reason already
given.
The best way to go down a very
slippery incline is backward. Then
if your feet “fly away” you can easily
fail on your hands. You will instant-
ly notice how much safer you feel
in this position. Going down back-
ward would soon become unbearably
tiresome, but as .an occasional rest,
and on a patch of slippery ground, it
is highly helpful.
__Life is full of uncertainties. A
man starts out in the morning full of
energy and ambition. He may come
home on a shutter. Perhaps his ac-
cident is no more than a broken bone,
but that is bad enough.
Our bones make up the framework
of the body. To them are attached
the muscles. Some of the bones serve
to protect certain vital organs. The
heart is well guarded by its sur-
rounding walls of bone. So are the
lungs—they occupy the same bony
cavity with the heart. The brain is
encased in a casket of bone,
In early life the bones are elastic.
They are capable of bending without
breaking. As we grow older our
‘bones become rigid and brittle.
People differ a lot as to their
bones. I know a man who had sev-
enteen fractures within two or three
years. He was in splints most of the
time.
Any break of the bone is called a
“fracture.” But not all fractures are
the same. Some of them are ‘sim-
ple.” In this form there is no break-
ing of the skin, no wound.
A “compound” fracture is a brok-
en bone associated with damage to
the soft tissues. There is a wound
and in all probability the splintered
end of the bone is sticking through
the flesh. ;
A “comminuted” fracture is one in
which the bone is broken in several
places. If such an injury is associat-
ed with damaged tissues and expos-
ure of the bone it is known as a
“compound comminuted” fracture.
Inconvenient and painful as they
may be, simple fractures are not very
important. But a compound fracture
is always a serious thing because of
the possibility of germ infection. If
this takes place, there will be pus
formation and the danger of blood
poisoning,
If the skin is unbroken the under-
lying portions are pretty safe. Be-
cause of this it is very necessary to
handle a person having a fracture
with great care.
Boy and Girl Scouts, Red Cross
groups and many other associations
have given a lot of attention to first
aid. This is well, because in any-
body’s experience there is almost cer-
taj to be contact with a fractured
one.

RATE
WORRIES FRANCE.
France must look to America, if
she would combat her heavy death
rate, says Jean Giraudoux, young
modern French author who knows
the United States and her citizens.
“Among all the countries of Hu.
rope,” writes Monsieur Giraudoux in
‘Comedic, “France has the greatest
mortality. While her natality is sup-
erior to that of Great Britain: and
the Scandinavian countries and al-
most equals that of Germany, she
registers about one-third more
deaths. This alarming death-rate
is not caused by climate, for we
have one of the best in Europa, but
by the lack of hygiene.”
The problem of natality
BIG DEATH
is thus
reduced to one of hygiene and bet-
ter living conditions. The author
feels certain that if this fact were
known to good-hearted and generous
Americans, many of them would be
more than glad to offer large sum3
of money to protect the French race
from dying out. He even believes
that American statesmen and many
American people would be perfectly
willing to devote a portion of Lhe
sums owed to the United States by
France to such a worthy purpose.
Mr. Giraudoux is probably one of
the very few Frenchmen who finds
nothing in the conflict between Eu-
rope and America, seeing the Amer-
icans as nothing more than KEu-
ropeans who, thanks to the frzedom
of action which the wealth and
youth of their country has given
them, regard as a goal easily and
quickly attainable and whatall the
statesmen and philosophers of Eu-
rope formerly considered a distant
ideal.
“The Americans,’ he adds, ‘give
us an example of industrial devel-
opment, a wide conception of hy-
giene. They give us also an ex-
ample of a high conception of the
sovereignty of the state in national
affairs. They are indeed, everything
that every young and rich Eurcpean
people has been in history, for in-
stance, the Venetians, Lombards,
Dutch and the British.
“They have for their goal individ-
ual happiness and naturally seek
the quickest means of realizing it.
The vigor of the American theatre
and of American poetry indicates
that she is moving toward unity in
intellectual life. American stand-
ardization represents no menace to
Europe.”
EMPLOYMENT MEASURE
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1.
Strict supervision of foreign em-
ployment agents taking labor out of
Pennsylvania is prescribed by an act
of the last session of the General As-
sembly which become effective Oc-
tober 1 and provides penalties for vio-
lations. The Department of Labor
and Industry is charged with the
enforcement of the act. It is esti-
mated that about 10,000 such foreign
agents have operated in Pennsyl-
vania without regulation before the
present act was passed and the de-
partment is serving notice on these
agents that enforcement will be
thorough. One section of the act
follows: :
“No foreign employment agent,
or other person shall enter this
Commonwealth, and whatever other
induce, or take from this Common-
wealth any labor, singly or in
groups, for any purpose, without
first filing, in the office of the sec-
retary (Department of Labor and
Industry), a statement as to where
the labor is to be taken, for what
length of time, and whether trans-
portation is to be paid to and from
desitnation, if temporary, also
statement of the financial standing
of the company desiring the labor,
and an affidavit of authority to rep-
resent such company in this Com-
monwealth, and any other informa-
tion the secretary may require.

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
IN LONG AIR FLIGHTS
Less than 24 years have elapsed
since Orville Wright made his first
feeble hop of 852 feet at Kitty Hawk.
We are less than 18 years removed
from the day when Louis Bleriot, won
fame by his first flight across the
English Channel, a distance of 25
miles. It is only within ten years
that airplanes have come to be look-
ed upon as anything but the play-
things of dare devils. But today the
airmail moves on a clockwork sched-
ule. Passengers through the air
are an accepted part of transport
systems of the United States and
Europe, and these winged vehicles
are called upon daily for countless
humdrum labors. Aviation has fol-
lowed fast on the heels of the dar-
ing pioneer fliers, and flights such as
established many world’s records
may safely be counted on as routine
matters of life in the not too distant
future.
EACH TENTH PERSON
IN BERLIN BANKRUPT.
Every tenth Berliner appears to
be in some sort of financial trouble.
According to the latest statistics,
no less than four hundred thousand
Berlin citizens are registered in
court as having sworn anoath of
bankruptcy.
The registration office for these
financially crippled people is well
organized and employs quite a
number of clerks. Interested peo-
ple may subscribe to the re istration
list for personal and confidential in-
formation, at a charge of about
twenty dollars a year, but only if
recommended by their professional
organization and on explicit condi-
dition that they will not misuse the
information.
BOUNTIES, INCREASE.
During August, 1929,a total of
1170 claims were presented for
bounty, entailing an expenditure on
the part of the Game Commission
amounting to $1,887. Claims in-
cluded 1608 weasels, 6 red foxes,
63 gray foxes, and 1 wildcat. Dur-
ns August of the preceding year
700 claims were presented requiring
an expenditure of $1,160. These
claims included 896 weasels, 26 red
foxes, 48 gray foxes, and 1 wildcat.

FOR STATE ROUTES.
Standard highway markers will
guide motorists through the traffic
maze and confusion of intersections
in Pennsylvania cities, according to
Lyall Stuart, Secretary of Highways,
who reported to Governor Fisher as
part of the August activities of the
epartment a an to mark all high-
way routes wi city limits. A to-
tal of 4117 marker units will be re-
quired.
Formerly, motorists following
highway routes through cities were
compelled to rely on point to point
sign ‘boards or other markings, of-
ten confusing to strangers who were
following State or U. S. route num-
bers and not acquainted with names
or nearby places. The Department
had no funds for such marking pre-
vious to the last session of the As-
sembly. .
Route markers, according to Secre-
tary Stuart, will be erected by the
Department’s maintenance forces and
entirely on the Department’s specifi-
cations. Before the work is done,
however, an agreement must be made
between the city and the Department
and the cost will be charged against
the State Highway maintenance fund
allocated to the city.
500 GARAGES FOUND
UNFIT FOR APPROVAL.
Of 4800 garages and repair
shops examined by State Highway
Patrolmen, with the idea of ascer-
taining their fitness for designation
as official examining stations during
the forthcoming compulsory motor
vehicle period, 500 were found de-
ficient, and their applications were
rejected. The Patrol is now exam-
ining 600 additional shops and
garages, suggested for inspection
stations.

NEW HARVARD STANDS
SEAT CROWD OF 65,000.
The comfort of wood and the
safety of steel and concrete has been
combined in the construction of the
new stands now being constructed at
the open end of the Harvard Stad-
ium, through the use of fireproofed
wood.
The new stands, capable of seat-
ing 18,000 spectators, have been con-
structed of southern pine on a steel
framework. The wood has been
chemically treated to render it non-
inflammable.
The Harvard Stadium, once the
new section is completed, will seat
65,000 spectators at the major games
this season.

IMPROVED AIRPLANES
IN FIVE YEARS TIME.
“Before the next five years have
passed into history, the airplane will
have been so radically improved and
developed that the average man and
woman will be enabled to pilot it
successfully, with less training than
is now necessary to learn the opera-
tion of an automobile,” it was pre-
dicted recently by James H.
Steenson, Assistant General Manager
of the General Airplanes Corpora-

Commissioner of Fisheries N. R.
Buller who returned recently from a
trip covering most sections of the
, Commonwealth, reported that while
there is extremely low water in prac-
tically all streams, to his knowledge,
it ‘has not reached a point where fish
have died as a result.
The water condition at all the
Board's hatcheries is very little be-
low normal and there has been suf-
ficient flow_ at all times for the pro-
tection of the fish.
The Board now is distributing
large numbers of small-mouth bass
which are being placed in the larger
bodies of water. Many of the bass
being ‘distributed are fix and six
inches in length.
September and October, Buller be-
lieves, should be two of the best
months for bass fishing and he hopes
that sufficient rain will fall so that
the waters will be livened up, there-
by affording much fishing.

NEW YORK TAKES LEAD
IN NUMBER OF PLANES
Figures just compiled by the De-
partment of Commerce show that in
June, 1929, there were 4,232 licensed
and 3,055 identified aircraft, 5,641
plane to land at a speed measuredin pilots and 5,111 mechanics in the
but a few feet or yards per minute,
rather than in miles per hour.
“You and I as laymen with no
previous flying experience,” he said,
“will walk into the manufacturer’s
salesroom, purchase our ship say, at
10 o’clock in the morning, and fly it
away two or three hours later, with
prefect safety and assurance.
“To date, one of the greatest handi-
caps which the airplane has encount-
ered, in making a practical universal
appeal, has been its inability to land
at very low speeds, thus necessitating
piloting by the trained and expert
fiyer. Obviate this one difficulty—
and we shall see it eliminated very
shortly—and we shall see flying by
the general public as popular and as
common as is automobile driving to-
ay.’

United States.
Tt was shown that California leads
in the number of identified aircraft,
and in the number of pilots and me-
chanics. New York had the largest
number of licensed planes. There
were 518 licensed and 378 identified
aircraft, 1,167 pilots and 877 me-
chanics in California while in New
York there were 752 licensed and 248
identified planes, 551 pilots and 459
mechanics. Illinois ranked next with
299 licensed and 247 identified planes,
312 pilots and 375 mechanics.
Other States which had more than
100 aircrafts, both licensed and iden-
