Bellefonte, Pa., January 10, 1930, Your Health. THE FIRST CONCERN. " —‘“The time for resolutions is here And following the an- cient and honorable custom, people - will now resolve to do and not to do once again. all sorts of things in the year 1930. Character readjustments are days later, for the most of us, the 1929 self will be reasserted—the res- olutions as usual representing an un- completed job,” said Doctor Theo- dore B. Appel, Secretary of Health. “Speaking generally, perhaps many of the reforming ideas one is likely to get at New Year's time mgrely indicate an undirected desire to be better. However, while one is thus theoretically changing character over night only to revert in the next twenty-four hours, it is well to give serious consideration to some real ideas for improvement that are bas- ed not only on an abstract desire to rectify conduct but are founded up- on a sound basis of common sense living. “It is well to recollect that some few every day habits could wisely be submitted to serious contemplation resulting in New Year's resolutions and sufficient backbone and gump- tion to carry them out during 1930. “All interests of present day liv- ing to the contrary notwithstanding, ths real business in life is to live. With this in mind, there follow a few suggestions which may be of some value. “For your health’s sake, resolve: 1 To have an annual physical ex- amination—the sooner the better, To exercise in the open air daily. To eat moderately. To sleep sufficiently. To avoid excesses of all kinds. And, in general, to take a-real, conscientious and every day interest in your health. “Having thus resolved, be stead- fast. Make 1930 the healthiest and happiest of all the years.” -—It is a surprising fact that the fashions to a large extent determine the health of the women of today. Yet this is true. A few years back the great mod- istes of the world decided that the fashionable figure must be the slen- der one. No woman of curves could wear the clothes they designed. _ And so to be stylish, dieting be- cane the rage. ‘schools of diet sprang up over night.

JEALOUSY CAUSES SLAYING OF GIRL | . a staple article of diet in the Orient. I Tt is said that a half-pound of dates Salesman Tells Story of Crime in Hotel. Washington.—Dexter Churchill Day- ton, a twenty-five-year-old insurance salesman, is under arrest here, having confessed, according to authorities, to strangling Miss Marjorie Lucy O’Don- nell, twenty-three, an employee of the National Geographic society, in the Roosevelt hotel. The young man is said to have told police he committed the crime through jealousy of another suitor, liquor. In a voluntary statement to police Dayton said he had repeatedly en- treated Miss O'Donnell to promise to marry him, saying he would soon be earning enough money to care for times refused, indicating that she “might marry another man.” What Dayton did between the time he strangled the girl in a fit of jealous rage, and the hour he called police, apparently is stili cloudy in his mem- ory. He is certain they began to quarrel shortly after midnight. At that time, Dayton said, he upbraided the girl for her reluctance to become engaged to him, and she replied by referring to the other man. Woke Up at Noon. Dayton said in his confession to po- tice that he had been drinking heav- ily meanwhile, although the girl had ! taken only a few drinks. He declared that when he became so incensed he could no longer control himself, he ! they struggled | seized the girl and about the room. “I woke up later that day,” Dayton cold tke police. “It must have been getting on toward noon, because the sunlight was strong outside. Then I began to realize what I had done. The thought was so awful I made up my mind to kill myself, but I found I couldn’t get up the nerve.” He said he sat for a moment contemplat- ing his pistol then turned it tec his temple and pulled the trigger. “It wouldn't go off,” he declareq, ‘although I snapped the hammer on several shells. Then [ knew I couldn't kill myself and decided to call in the police. [ telephoned for a bell boy; he came in a moment later, and I told him to call to the ofiicers.” Wr tes Note in Hotel. Dayton declared he started drinking carly the day before the murder and went to the hotel about 11 a. m. that same day and registered. He con- tinued drinking during the afternoon, he said, and later met the girl, invit- ing her to come to his room for drinks ! before geing out to dine. and its discovery Dayton wrote incoherent three-pua2e note on stationery in which he told of his quarrels with the girl, his love for her, and his determination to eommit suicide. The note said in part: “T am going to kill my sweetheart | I know I love her. | both have deceived and hurt one we [| place by the end of the Fifteenth van : : SE | Now that the effect of the | “treasury” of Christian churches. and then myself.

Seam of Burning Coal Keeps Mountain Warm A unique Australian phenomenon is the “Burning Mountain” at Wingen in northern New South Wales, which scientists say has heen on fire 1,000 years. According to a party of geologists, vho have just returned from an ex- ploration of the mountain, says an Associated Press dispatch from Syd the surface a ney, there lies below burning coal seam. Long before Eu ropean settlement in Australia “Burn ing Mountain” was known to the aborigines, and to them it owes its name, Wingen. signifying “fire.” The geologists report that the sum: mit presents the appearance of the debris of a vast block of buildings consumed by fire with an explosion or two thrown in. Smoke and steam continuously are issuing from differ: ent points. and there are numerous depusits of alum and sulphur. The burning seam probably is 30 feet or more in thickness, say the geologists. and is being consumed at the rate of from 120 to 130 yards each century. The warmth of the moun tain in winter time attracts cattle. horses, and wild animals.
