If. during the next week or two, you answer the door bell and someone asks your name, age, and a few other intimate questions, don't fly off the han- dle and order him from the premises. In all prob- ability it will be Uncle Sam's representative—the census taker--who has a vast fund of information {fo gather from each householder, This week an army of enumerators started on the Nation's six- teenth census. These censuses, taken at ten-year intervals, provide the most important link between the present and the historical past. They provide an actual measurement of the growth in popula- tion and in resources of the greatest nation on earth. For weeks battles have been raging about answering questions on Individual income. Princi- pal objection was that census enumerators em- powered to ask questions from door to door may be next-door neighbors or community gossips who pos- sibly would spread the confidential information they obtained. That problem, however, has been solved. Anyone who doesn't care to answer ques- tions on income may request a blank, “Confidential Report on Wage or Salary Income, 1939.” fill it out, seal it In an envelope provided by the enumerator and return it to him for mailing, unopened. to cen sus headquarters in Washington, Certainly there can be no objection to that. How many readers of The Centre Democrat have purchased ten-cent tubes of toothpaste, packed in a carton so large thal one not familiar with the size tube to expect, would judge, from the appearance of the carton, that the tube was much larger than it actually is. Similar “tricks of the trade,” which practically amount to fraud on buyers, are the packing of various face creams ‘and ointments in opaque glass jars that contain more glass than cream. Along the same line, is the packing of ground spices and other powders in sifter-top boxes that contain just about enough contents to cover the bottom of the can. The use of over-sized cartons and containers is not accidental. The manufactur. ers of some products have found that sales are in- creased by lhese overssized packages which suggest that the purchaser is going to get generous portions of the product, The intent is to deceive the pur- chasers and this is fraud. It is interesting to note that W. C. Kimbrell. who administers the new Food-Drug and Cosmetics Act, is insisting upon the use of containers less deceptive to the eve. He points out that under the new law, the deceptive containers will have to be changed so as to bear a reasonable relation to the contents, This kind of regulation is nothing more than the reasonable protection of purchasers and, it should be noted, protection for legitimate business men who have not been making use of the over-sized carton or container.

So what? The gov- ernment spokesman thereupon explafhed that be- fore making any Important decision the Foreign Office would have to consult other organs, particu- larly the fighting services! This is a fairly clear in dication of the status of the relations of the United Slates and Japan. The government spokesman makes it clear that important decisions await consulta- tions with the fighting services. In other words, the inference seems clear that if the fighting services think they can handle an emergency. the Japanese may take retaliatory steps against the United Slates persion, when attempted with Great weakness that sure upon neident tention Press dispatches indicate that a special session of the Pennsylvania Legislature will be called be- fore the first of June for the purpose of providing finde for relief and public assistance, It has been stated that a minimum of $40.000000 will be trans. ferred from the motor fund for the purpose of tak- ing care of relief demands. In a recent interview, W. Purves Taylor, secretary of the Associated Pe- troleum Industries of Pennsylvania, pointed out that such action would be a distinct breach of trust against the best interests of well over 2.000000 mo- tor vehicles owners of the state who have already contributed more than $14.000,000 to relief through the gasoline taxes Imposed upon them. More than half of Pennsylvania's motorists earn less than $30 a week and they are feeling the pinch of paying 40 per cent sales tax on gasoline, The motorists of the commonwealth, as a matter of actual fact, how contribute, through special taxes and fees, a sum that is approximately 38 per cent of the tax reve enues collected by the commonwealth from all sources. Sooner or later, and the sooner the better, Pennsylvania's motorists will awaken to the fact that in the tax situation he is the man who is being made the goat. Pennsylvania's highway obligations sre heavy because of the growing mileage involved. No other state in the Union has a greater mileage, Under such conditions, it is the duty of every citizen to be deeply concerned about the physical well being of the commonwealth's highway system. Diversion of highway funds should be curbed and lessened; increased diversion should be vigorously opposed. will howl ly oy OCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. “A Little Orrick CAT Is Relished by the Wisest Men” “> THE Nonsense Now and Then, Punk once fancied hin But the girls For the fello nade Ther Whe wa He Try This on Y Hotlentot t ought If a could totter ought tor taught a Hottentot } taught or ought not to be hit His fe Differe Innocence f vl A { | only tw Pome a man unique wel! quite a didn't fall ull RRLARRL) w al Ch our Harmonica Hottentot tot lo to I aucnt to ) i F8 yo nt Clan vt al the Wheel ————— Heard in Court Poor W Ju [ fs hite Man Improved Vision q Who ( Hox Strong For ‘ He 5a Te ares, Anyway’ $10.

It was supposed to inhibit the growth of pernicious organisms in the intestines. Small doeses of carbolic acid have no effect upon the blood. But large doses paralyze the nerve cen- ters. The urine is much effected by this drug, even moderate doses causing it to become dark.
