Do you start for the cffice with a frown on your face and a look in your eye that sets the office boy hunting for au errand outside and starts the whole force on a grouch that lasts for the belter part of the day? Falesinen who make use of pay- chology iu their business are very apt to postpouve their Monday calls until after lunch. By thst time the stmos- phere has clesred a little, When you come to think of it the week’s work too often slips off the ways wilh considerable frieton. In office, school and household, if this is not tbe rule it is of tufficently fre. quent occurrence to make the picture familiar to all, With many people it ia not because their daily tssks are distasteful or thst their real attitude toward their sssoci- ates is aggressive ; it is more a matter of rather ill conceived ideas what con- stitutes rest or diversion, It isn’t possible in a few words to describe the Baturdsy until Monday babits of everyone. The majority of people, however, are very spt to fall into two general diversone. One class trice to crowd too much into the time between one week’s end and the be- gioniog of the next week’s labor ana take up their business on Monday morning exhausted and over-tired ir- stead of refreshed by the “day of rest.” The other class gees to ex, tremes by overeating and under-ex- ercizing and the result is ¢qually un- bappy.

The area extends in a northeasterly direction from the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad near Petersburg, to within five miles of Mifflinburg. It embraces parts of Huntingdon, Centre, Snyder, MifMip, and Union counties, and takes in sl most 170,000 acres Htate Forests, and twice the size of Montour county. The purpose of the surveys is to se- cure data on which to base plans for the future developwent of the State Forests. Maps of the areas surveyed are beiug made up ss rapidly ss pos- sible, and show every detail of topo- graphy. Hprioge, roads, trails, fire lanes, streams, camps sites, and eleva- tion can be shown for every acre. On the basis of these maps the For- eats will be divided into com part- mente, corresponding to the fields on a farm. Each compartment, like each field, ean then be given treat- ment its condition demande. 7 bis will make possible a system of inten sive forest management very much like the system which bas made Ger- man’s forests ao productive, The surveys will be continued until the whole million scres of State For- est have been covered. As soon se mspe are made up, small scale copies will te placed on sale at nominal} prices. The only maps available now are for the Rarree Forest, Huntingdon county. Others are almost completed for the following Forests: Bear Meadows, Greenwood, Seven Moup- taine, Penn, Jack's Mountsip, Buffalo, Kishaccquillae, and Pennypacker, ——————————— “Safety Fosters, An educations] campaign to CAITY a mesesge of snfely and sceident pre- vention directly to employes in Penne sylvania’s iodustral establishments bas been instituted by Commissionsr John Price Jackson, of the Depari- ment of Labor and Industry, by the distribution of Accident Prevention Posters to be placed on bulletin boards and in other conspicuous places go round industral plants.

Nearly every one speaks of a fing, when being flown at a distance from the top of the pole, as at “half-mast.” This 1s not the correct expression. Buch flags are at “haltsetaff” because they are flown in this manner whether on land or sea from the flag stafr, To see a flag at halfetaff means death. It may mean, on an Incoming ship, that one of the passengers or crew died at sea. Many a little fish. Ing vessel comes into Gloucester and T whart in Boston every season with a flag at bhalf-staff, and this means one of the fishermen, or more, has met death, generally being swept over board. This custom of flying flags at half staff originated first as a token of de feat. That is, when an army was de- feated, its flag was lowered down the stall to give room for the victorious army to place its flag above that of the defeated army. From this the custom grew Into fly. Ing the flag at half-ataff when an of ficer, army or navy, dled, Later it was adopted by civilians as well, and to day, when a man of prominence dies. regardless of whether he was sallor, soldier, or civilian, the flags are hung at half-stafy Whereas, in the olden days, when the custom started, the up. per epace was left to indicate that the victor could put his flag there, now it Seems that death is the victor, and so the apace is left. It is, of course, a mark of respect to the dead person to have flags at half-staff for him.
