Failure to Cut Weeds
Costs Money in Paxtang
Sfteial to The Tetetr.'ph
Paxtang. Pa., Sept. 30.—Because of
their failure to comply with a borough
ordinance passed a few months ago as
a health measure, the board of health
is preparing to bring action before
Squire Howard C Fry against property
owners who have failed to cut down
the high weeds on their lots. In the
early part of the summer council
passed the ordinance, which carries
with it a fine of from $5 to S2O for
failure to cut down weeds. Notice was
given that the measure would have to
be compiled with before June 1. hut
many persons failed to pay any atten
tion. The health board permitted sev
eral more opportunities to comply, hut
! some persons would not heed. Already
j several fines have been Imposed and
the board is preparing to bring suits
I against all remaining property owners
who permit high grass and weeds on
their premises.
Magical Effect of
New Face Peeler
To maintain a clear, white, youthful
complexion, there's nothing so simple
to use and yet so effective as ordinary
mercollzed wax, which you ran Ret at
any drug store. Just apply the wax at
night as you would cold cream. In the
morning wash it off with warm water.
If you've never tried It you can't Im
agine the magical effect of this harm
less home treatment. It causes the old
worn-out scarf skin to come off In
minute particles, a little at a tiir.e. and
soon you have entirely shed the offen
sive cuticle. The fresh young under
skm now in evidence Is so healthy and
girlish looking, so free from any ap
pearance of artificiality, you wonder
why you had not heard of this marvel
ous complexion-renewing secret long
ago.
Equally magical In Its action is a
simple wrinkle-removing lotion made
by dissolving an of powdered
saxoltte In a half pint of witch hazel.
Bathing ihe face In this for two or
three minutes Immediately affects everv
line and furrow and Improves facial
contour wonderfully.—Advertisement.
AMATEUR WIRE
LESS OPERATORS
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued From Editorial Page.]
grade are the same, as nearly as they
can be shown In writing. An examin
ing officer is given discretion to waive
the examination in person of an appli
unt at some distance, provided his
Written examination satisfies the offl- 1
cer that he is qualified for a license
and will fulfill its obligations. There
are not sufficient inspecting officers to
cover the whole country, and they are
chiefly located along the coast. It
would be a hardship to deprive a
youngster of a license he Is qualified
to hokl because he cannot present him
self for examination. Many of the
most efficient amateur operators hold
second grade licenses. They have
picked up their qualification with no
other aid than by corresponding with
the authorities.
Assign Call Signal
Each wireless operator has his own
call signal, which is assigned to him
by the Bureau of Standards after he
has passed a satisfactory examination
granting him a license. He also re
ceives a book giving the location of
every wireless station in the country
trnd the call signal and name of its
operator. He is at liberty to get into
communication with any or all of
them, according to his ability to trans
mit messages.
Most of the amateur operators show
a desire to keep within the law in all
respects. They have set up their sta
tions chiefly for pleasure and realize
that disobedience would involve a sus
pension of privileges. Violation of the
law is also punlsnable by a fine.
The Hureau of Standards is always
willing to test amateur machines for
a nominal fee. An Increasing num
ber of boys are making their own
instruments as a part of their work in
technical high school. The Bureau of
Standards gives advice to instructors
in these schools as to the materials
best adapted to amateur work. It also
gives free Individual Instruction to any
boy who asks for it, as hundreds are
doing. Few days pass In which a con
fidential letter io not received by the
radio-engineer of the bureau from
some boy asking whether his machine
will meet the requirements of the law.
No girls have as yet qualified as
I licensed Qperators, although it is
stated unofficially that hundreds of
girls arc transmitting messages in sta
tions controlled by their licensed
brothers. Many French girls have
qualified as wireless operators and are
now in active service In the war zone.
