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.

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 !

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.

incoherent three-pua2e note on

quarrels with the girl, his love for
her, and his determination to eommit

Seam of Burning Coal

A unique Australian phenomenon is

northern New South Wales, which
scientists say has heen on fire 1,000
years.

debris of a vast block of buildings

continuously are issuing from differ:

depusits of alum and sulphur.

+ FARM NOTES.
—Maintaining the ewe’s body
weight, nourishing the unborn lamb,
and producing a fleece of wool are
the objectives reached in proper
winter feeding of the breeding flock.
Good, clean corn silage and a legume
hay, such as alfalfa, red clover, or
soybean, are recommended feeds.
—Good market and hatching eggs
are excellent show eggs, They
should be uniform in size, shape, and
color. To reach the show in good
condition they should be packed
carefully,
—Educational meetings at the
State Farm Products Show will fea-
ture talks and discussions by prom-
inent and able agricultural leaders.
- A fund of practical and scientific in-
formation will be availble to all who
attend.
—Many evergreens are damaged
each winter by wet snow. Shake
the branches gently after every
heavy storm, using a wooden rake.
—State College extension forest-
ers recommend Norway spruce, bal-
sam fit, and Douglas fir, in the or-
der named, for planting where
Christmas tree markets are to be
supplied.
—Much time will be saved and in-
convenience avoided if the garden
tools are inspected and put in con-
dition during the winter, Some will
need to be cleaned of rust and
sharpened or repaired. Missing tools
and parts should be replaced now.
——A farm business without some
kind of records is like a clock with-
out hands. There is no way of tell-
ing time. Now is the time to start.
Ask your County Agent.
—You can learn about the science
and practice of agriculture this win-
ter by studying one or more of the
36 correspondence courses offered by
the Pennsylvania State College.
There are also five courses in home
economics, Send for free catalog

—Records kept on ton litters and
swine ' demonstration farms show
that young breeding stock is more
profitable than more mature ani-
mals, The young sows produce pigs
and gain in weight at the same
time while older animals give only
pigs.
—Ordering a sufficient supply of
spray materials early is a money-
saving practice. As the demand in-
creases in the spring the price goes
up. Both lime and blue stone keep
well if properly stored. .
—Immediate and adequate cooling
of milk is necessary to prevent
souring, A temperature of less
than 50 degrees F. is unfavorable to
the growth and reproduction of the
injurious bacteria. ?
,—If needles fell off the Christmas
tree in the street, it was not a fresh
tree. Trees from local sources are
more likely to be recently harvested
than those shipped from a distance.
—Are you ready to start keeping
records on the 1930 farm operations?
Only a few days remain to get the
book and take an inventory of stock
and property. Simple records will
tell a valuable story .of the farm
operations.
