The reflex controlling! this winking is the fastest action in| the human body. The interval dur-| ing which the lids cover the eye is extremely short, the Institute ex- plains, but it is a “breathing spell” which relieves the strain on the ret- ‘ina and relaxes tired muscles. This is Nature's favorite method of rest- ing the eyes.

Before he assumed his present post on January 1, 1927, Dr. Hetzel was president of the University of New Hampshire. He has been a | member of the National Association of State Universities for 17 years. He served as its president in 1934. Dr. Hetzel's service record at Penn State is exceeded by only one other president, Dr. George W. Atherton, who headed the institution for 24 State's student body has grown | from 3500 to 7200 and the physical plant has been enlarged by $11,250 000 worth of new buildings during President Hetzel's administration, No More Goofy Halts As a result of the European war, more sensible, and goofy headwear will be a thing of the past, predicis Madame Louise Brune, noted Ameri- can designer, in her offices at Rock- efeller Center, New York. Madame Brune said that in addition to hats being more sensible, American wom- en's entire ensembles will be more practically designed. She also be- lieves that the European situation gives American designers an oppor. tunity to display their designs for American women. Democracy can only offer citi- zens equality before the law and in the economic realm.

Body mainten- ance becomes of first imporiance and egg production secondary. Of- ten the reaction to severe cold by birds producing heavily is too abe rupt and mortality results because of the changes which take place in the bodies of the birds in meeting these extremes Tightness of walls, roof, and floor and a ventilation system that works are essential to proper house cone struction. Exposure and air drainage will determne the effect of the cle ments as they strike the spot where the fowls are housed Ventilation has much to do with the condition of the litter, moisture content of the air, and the general health of the flock. A deep layer of litter of the “built-up” type helps keep a house warmer because it insulates the floor. Restricting ventilation helps conserve the natural heat from the bodies of the birds, removes excess moisture, and helps maintain a drier litter condition Insulation may be necessary in gome cases and valuable in others, | depending on location, and exposure A poultryman, in studying his poul- i try housing problems, should try to determine whether he will need an insulated roof and walls in addition to restricted ventilation and litter | insulation | When housing conditions are sat- | istactory and the right feeds are fed, {slumps in production can be mini- | mized or averted entirely bidbuiten ied do i Sweet Dreams H.

Butler, home ec- onomics extension representative of Centre county But after food, or body fuel. 's eaten, it becomes part of the living body. Foods not only the machine; finally they are ¢ machine Miss Butler, referring to the Yearbook of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, “Food and Life.” explains that furnishing fuel or energy is one of the ways in which foods serve the body. Almost all kinds of foods have some fuel value. The digested products of pro- tein, carbohydrates, and fats in food are burned in the body to produce heat and muscular activity Meals, eggs, fish, cheese and milk are among the chief sources of pro- tein, Carbohydrates are the starches and sugars, which we often eat, such as starchy vegelableg like potatoes and rice, or flour pastes, or bread- stuffs, or breakfast cereals. For a given weight, carbohydrales and protein yield the same amount of heat or energy in the body. Pats yield more than twice as much | Most authorities agree that an adult should get about 10 to 20 per cent of his calories from protein foods, 25 to 30 per cent in the form of fat, and about 60 per cent in the form of starches and sugars, But remember thal an ounce of fat, such as butler or salad dressing, yields more than twice as many calories as an ounce of protein. The diet should also contain liberal quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables, espec- ally green and yellow vegetables, and whole-grain cereals, to supply vitamins and minerals. { - EE E—— Relief Payments Higher Direct relief payments to needy | Centre countians for the week end- ing Tuesday show an increase of nearly $200 over those of last week, | but a decrease of more than $400 | from the figure for the comparable period of last year, This report on the changing relief picture in Cen- | tre county was made yesterday by | State Treasurer F.
