Bellefonte, Pa., September 25, 19631. ROAD STOP SIGNS MEAN YOU MUST STOP DEAD Stop signs erected at intersections aiong through-traffic streets and highways, and at other dangerous crossings, have more authority un- der the motor code as amended by the 1931 Legislature, and are being more rigidly enforced. “The letter S-T-O-P inasignatan intersection means that, and more.” “Section 1014 of the motor code has been amended so that the operator of a vehicle who has stopped at one of these signs must yieia the right of way to oncoming traffic. In other words, the mere act of stop- ping does not mean compliance with the law; the operator must be sure that the way is clear for him to enter or cross the intersection with- out interfering with traffic on the main street or highway. If he fails to do this, even though he stops at the sign, the brunt of responsibility rests upon him.” A reecnt statewide survey reveal ed that the stop sign provisions ot the law are being more rigidly en- forced by local officers than under the old code. “Previously the fines collected went to the State, but un. der the amended code these fines go to the municipality, which natural- ly is an incentive for local author- ities to be more active in this re- spect than ever before.” ‘Operators of fire department, police or fire pa- trol vehicles responding to a fire alarm, in the chase or apprehension of violators of the law, or ambulances when traveling in emergencies, are the only vehicles or operators ex- empted from the stop sign provi- sions of the law,” he ex “And even in such instances these vehicles and operators are required to give proper warning signals to oncoming traffic before crossing a stop intersection.” Two types of stop intersections are provided for. One is the regu- lar through-traffic stop sign, erect- NON-RESIDENT HUNTERS TAXED RECIPROCAL FEES. Non-residents desiring to hunt in Pennsylvania, formerly paid only the regular $15 fee charged for such licenses by Pennsylvania. Under a new law passed by the Jewent Legislature a reciprocal license fee must be Residents from other States will have to pay the same fee for a non-resident license in Pennsylvvania as is charged for such a license in their own State. That the sportsmen of va- nia will be familiar with the fee charged for non-resident licenses in other States, the Game Commission recently scured an up-to-date list of these fees as follows: Alabama, $25; Alaska, $50; Arizona, Arkansas, $15; California, $15; Col- orado, $25; Connecticut, $15; Dela- ware, $15.50; District of Columbia, $15; Florida, $25.50; Georgia, $23; Hawaii, $15; Idaho, $50; Illinois, $15.50; Indiana, $15.50; Iowa, $15; Kansas, $15; Kentucky, $15; Louis- |iana, $50; Maine, $15.15; Maryland, $15.50; Massachusetts, $15; Mich- |igan, $50; Minnesota, $50.25; Mis- | sissippi, $15; Missouri, $15; Montana, !$30; Nebraska, $15; Nevada, $15; | New Hampshire, $15.15; New Jer- | sey, $15; New Mexico, $30.25; New | York, $15; North Carolina, $15.25; | North Dakota, $50; Ohio, $25.25; | Island, $15; South Carolina | South Dakota, $50; Tennessee, $15; | Texas, $25; Utah, $15; Vermont, | $15; Virginia, $15.50; W | $25; West Virginia, $15; Wisconsin, | | $50; Wyoming, $60. | The reciprocal license feature also | applies to the alien non-resident of | Pennsylvania who is also a non-resi- {dent of the United States. Such | persons must also pay the same fee | for a non-resident alien hunter's li- |cense as is charged for a similar | license in their own country or | province. Up-to-date figures on the | cost of such licenses in other coun- tries and provinces of Canada, etc. are as follows: Canada, Alberta, $50; British Columbia, $55; Mani- toba, $40; New Brunswick, $50; Nova Scotia, $350; Ontario, $41; Quebec, $25; Saskatchewan, $50; N. W. Territory, $150; Yukon, $150; Mexico, $20; England, $15; France, ed along boulevard streets or high-| gis ways. The other, provided for under the amended code, is a sign erected at a dangerous intersection on a street or highway not designated as a through traffic route. “This lat- ter provides for the erection of stop signs only at points where condi- tions warrant on certain routes,” “thus eliminating the necessity of designating the entire highway as a through traffic route, but protecting the intersections that are dangerous. ‘These local stop signs can be erect- ed by any municipality, with the permindion of the State Highway partment. “All of these stop signs, however, have the same authority, and pro- vision is made in the law for a pen- alty of $6 and costs for violation of these regulations. At the same time, it follows that in any accident caused by failure of an operator to comply with these regulations—not only stopping, but the right of way to oncoming the li- ability for damages rests on the shoulders of the driver who failed to By W.

PENNA HUNTERS OWN LAND THAT IS WORTH $1,284,575 A recent inventory made by the Board of Game Commissioners shows that the value of lands and build- ings under their jurisdiction is now $1,284,575. ‘This valuation is con- servative. ‘The lands include 243,- 888 acres of State game lands used, in part, for the establishment of game refuges, but the majority for public hunting Srongds, Buildings valued at $169. are State game lands and used as ref- uge keepers’ of three game propagation farms where ring-necked pheasants, main- ly, are produced, is 1778 acres. The value of the buildings on these three farms is placed at $40,281. The purchase of lands and build- ings under the jurisdiction was made possible by the sale of hunt- ing licenses, none of it coming from general State revenue.

HAS THREE-FOURTHS OF THE WORLD'S AUTOS Nearly three-fourths of the motor vehicles in the world are registered in the United States. This is shown by Department of Commerce figures based on a census as of Jan 1, 1931. World registration totaled 35,805,632, of which 26,697,398 were in the United States. If motor cars of all sorts were evenly distributed, every fifty-fourth person in the world would have one, according to the census. In the United States there is one for every 4.59 persons. Per capita registra- tion for the world outside the United States was 200. France was second in registration, with 1,459,650; third, with 1,308,272. Then followed Canada, with 1,224,088; Germany, 679,300; Australia, 563,657; Argentina, '366,- See: SY, Log Brazil, 188,570; pain Canary Islands, with 189,650. First place among f tries in proportion of automobiles to population went to Canada and New d, with one registration for every eight persons. was next with one for every eleven. Trailing the list were Yemen and Oman, in Arabia; Cnina, Ethiopia, the Solomon Islands, and Spitzber- gen. Spitzbergen had one—a truck. Despite the depression during 1930, world registrations increased by 678,234 over 1920, says Charles F. Baldwin, assistant chief of the au- tomotive division. He points out that there were 4,109,231 motor ve- hicles produced in the world in 1930, leaving 3,430,238 to be ac- counted for largely by scrapping or other withdrawal from operation. 1200 INMATES OF PRISONS ARE PAID Approximately 1200 inmates of the State's four penal institutions are on the payroll of the prison in- dustries, to a report of John L. Hanna, State Secretary of Welfare. The largest number of inmates on the prison industries’ payroll in any one institution appeared at Western Penitentiary where the figure reach- ed 366, due in a large part to the weaving and tag departments which use more than 100 men apiece Eastern State Penitentiary was sec- ond with 311; Rockview was third with 303 and the Pennsylvania In- 838 | qustrial School at Huntingdon was fourth with 154. Explaining the report, Hanna said that this in no way totals the num- ber of men working for many more are at work but are not on pay- roll of the prison industries. He said these figures only indicate the number of men whose training and fitness were applicable to particular trades which come under the divi- sion of prison industries. MENTAL CASES TOTAL 80,000 ately 800,000 hospital beds now ¥ the United States are set aside for mentally ill patients, according toa recent statement of Dr. William C. Sandy, director of the bureau of mental health, State Department of welfare. In Pennsylvania alone, Dr. Sandy said, there are over 25,000 beds for mentally ill and some 5000 beds for mental defectives and epileptics and there is need for many more. Dr. Sandy said that despite the seriousness of these figures they un- doubtedly will increase until sucha time as early discovery, treatment and training become universal and effective.

Most fashion-knowing women this fall are going to want more taupe stockings than any other color. That's because taupe, which is real- ly beige or brown with a little gray in it, goes with more colors than any other shade. Taupe stockings go with brown stockings, with black costumes, with red or green or rust costumes and with costumes that combine these colors. Taupe stockings look well with black or brown shoes, too. So if you're planumg tc be prac- tical, you'll supply yourself with plenty of taupe stockings just about now. Because there are to be lots of brown coats and brown dresses, dark brown stockings are coming back into fashion for fall wear. And if you choose this color, be sure the stockings are very dark brown and very sheer. Some fashionable women are al- ready wearing the new, very sheer black stockings with black formal daytime costumes. You'll ‘not see quite so many beige stockings worn this fall as were worn in the spring.

Nicky, playing her part in this, refused steadfastly to think of the morrow. “A Mrs. Butler just called; said she wanted to see Mr. McMasters explained Sam. “I guess it means he's got it. That will tickle him; it's a big contract.” Nicky felt a surge of pleasure herself. ‘“He’'s—he's very clever, isn't he?” “They don’t make them any bet- ter,” Sam assured her warmly. “He's the sort that goes ahead.

Nicky, however, had had her ques- tion answered. Her pencil traced on for a moment, and then she thrust it aside. ‘The eternal fem- inine!” she murmured cryptically— and a shade scornfully. The day moved on past luncheon time and so to five o'clock. “I guess,” said Sam, then, “we might as well lock up.

Nicky half rose, her eyes wide and her hand at her throat. “For- give me,” he begged. “I shouldn't have shot it off that way.” He had an arm around her, steadying her. “Sit down; I'll get you a glass of water.” Nicky sat down. “No—don't bother; I'm all right” Then, through dry lips, she added, “who —who was it?” “Nobody—unless it was your ther.

The Pennsylvania State College opened its 1931-1932 academic year Wednesday morning of last week with a record enrollment of more than 4500 students. ‘The freshmen class was again limited to 1225 on the campus and fifty in the Forestry School at Mont Alto, which also opened last week, the increase be- ing due to more te students, return of former students to com- plete their college courses, and con- tinuation of more students in the upper classes. Lack of class rooms for liberal arts and of laboratories for chemistry and physics, the two schools of the college which give the majority of the first.year courses, prevent any increase in freshman enrollment. President Ralph D. Hetzel pre- sented six new department heads and thirty other new members of the faculty at the opening convocation. Three of the new heads have been on the Penn State faculty for some time, and the others come from oth- er institutions. The promotions are Dr. C. W.
