PROGRAM OF STATE HELPS THE STUDE=T’S HEALTH The program of the department of public instruction of the state of Pa. covering health and physical education is being rapidly extended, officials said, during the week, in the small high schools of the state to conform with the requirements of two periods of physical education and one period of health instruction in all secondary schools in the commonwealth. The ad- option of this program usually follows the introduction of athletics. The bas- ketball activities usually necessitates a playing floor and this results in fa- cilities being provided to house the physical education program. The small high schools present dif- ficult problems in the teachers per- sonnel and equipment for health and physical educational activities. The principals in these schools are faced with the problem of integrating .the program in the high school schedule in determining the. grade schedule of units of material in health instruc- tion and making teacher assignments from the present members of the fac- ulty, it was pointed out. The statistics on the health exam- ination of rural and smaller communi- ty boys and girls when compared with similar examinations with pupils in city schools indicate that the rural boys and girls have more health han- dicaps than do their city cousins. With physical education assuming more and more the place of definite character. and social education which is replacing the exercise conception of these activ- ities, the need for this program be- comes of vital importance in the train- ing of the rural boy and girl. These facts are being accepted by the small high school principals. During the past three months over one hundred and fifty small high schools have been vis- ited by members of the staff of the health and physical education bureau of the department, usually resulting in the adoption of health and physical education activities. Printed material has been prepared which includes suggestions on the me- thods of organizing and administer- ing the health and hygiene education- al program. Mineographed material is also available on the “Health Instruc- tion Program in the Secondary Sch- ools.” and is being mailed to the high schools which have been visited. i ————— LESS PROSECUTION MEANS MUCH BETTER FOODS With three exceptions the number of prosecutions for violating Pennsyl- vania Food Laws was the lowest in 1928 of any year -since 1910, accord- ing to Dr. James W. Kellogg, director of the state bureau of foods and of chemistry. “This low number of violations in the face of even greater effort to de- tect food adulteration and misrepre- sentation, indicates that the quality of foods offered for sale in Penn- sylvania is better today than ever be- fore in the history of the Common- wealth,” Dr. Kellog asserted. One of the outstanding violations discovered during the year was the coffee-chicory fraud in Western Pa. which required approximately 100 or more prosecutions before the adulter- ation was completely stopped. The adulteration of olive oil with cotton- seed and other vegetable oils was an- other extensive fraud which required a large number of prosecutions. Other cases of sepcial interest were the large number of legal actions in- volving the sale of bakery products containing imitation jelly instead of pure jelly. Other violations more fre- quent in the past, but still existing, to a limited extent in the Commonweal-| was intended, is the item of $2,250,- | from the local regirtrars i ] , 1200, ~ . ville Boro.

This not only ap- plies to the more recently construct- ed consolidated buildings but to old- er structures which have been remod- eled. Commenting on this report, Dr. J. Bruce McCreary, deputy secretary of health, said, “Eye strain of the sch- olars is likely to be a common fault, unless the area of light is sufficient for their work. In this connection it must be added that while the am- ount of light is absolutely essential, it is equally necessary that iis distribu- tion is proper. Instances have occur- ed in schools where the quantity of light was adequate but was so direc- ted as to cause a general lack of tone in the vison of the pupils. Moreover Favorable Corn Market Situation in Spite of Increased Crop PER BU. 8.20 I\_ 1.10 1925 vols YELLOW COR CHICAGO | .60 UNITED STATES CROP 1928 SEARS While corn prices are likely to av- erage somewhat lower in 1929 than in 1928, there are numerous favorable factors which will prevent a pro- nounced decline, says’ the Sears-Roe- buck Agricultural Foundation. Prices at the close of 1928 were already about 15 per cent below the average for that year. Hence the market probably will hold up quite ‘well dur- ing the rest of the winter, but a rise as pronounced as last winter and spring is unlikely to occur. The Increase in the crop harvested last fall was offset by the reduced carryover of old corn, consumption on farms and in commercial channels has been extremely heavy thus far, and substantial exports during the winter are probable, On the other hand, the quality and feeding value of the crop was much better than in 1927, larger supplies of other feed grains are available, and there ap- pears to be seme tendency to rush hogs and beef cattle to market to save corn. The 1928 corn crop, estimated at 2,840,000,000 bushels, with a carry- over on farms and in the visible sup- ply of 55000,000 bushels, made a total supply for the season of 2,895, 000,000 bushels. This was about 2, 000,000 bushels below the revised es- timate of the supply for the preceding season. Ot the 1928 crop, 82.9 per cent was of merchantable quality, compared with 75.2 per cent a year earlier and 80.7 per cent the ten-year average. The total supply was about 6,100,000 tons greater than in 1927, or an increase of about 6 per cent. Consumption and market disap- pearance of all feed grains in the lat- ter part of 1928 appears to have been considerably larger than in 1927. More cattle were shipped into feeding districts, a good many hogs were car- ried over to be finished on new corn. Exports of corn were greater than 2840000000 U.S. : CARRYOVER 92728 134,000,000 : : ls: 25s A UNITED STATES SUPPLIES CORN, OATS, AND BARLEY i 1928-29 n 113,700,000 | Tons [NY | Bu. 107,700, 000 TONS | | hl 1S -ROEBUCK AGRICULTURAL FOUNDATIO | \ | in 1927 and exports of barley were the largest on record. If both the 1927 and 1928 corn crops were cor- rectly. estimated, it is probable that the available supply of corn on Janu- ary 1, 1929, was smaller than a year previous, although reserves of oats and barley probably remain larger than a year ago. Production of corn in European countries which have reported to date totals 343,000,000 bushels or a de- crease of 95,000,000 bushels under the small 1927 crop and 183,000,000 bush- els under the average from 1923 to 1927. While more oats and barley were produced in Europe than in 1927, total production of all feed grains decreased slightly. With the Argentine crop surplus approaching exhaustion and a new crop not avail- able until next May, foreign demand for corn from the United States dur- ing the winter promises to be the best for several years. While consumption of new corn and other grains has been heavy thus far, the ratio between prices of hogs and beef cattle on the one hand and corn prices on the other is proving to be less favorable for feeders than ex- pected .a few months ago and farmers seem disposed to sell live stock and held corn. The quality of the crop ‘permits holding with much less dan ger of spoilage than would have been the case last year. This may mean a weaker situation later when these holdings are marketed, and may pre vent such a pronounced rise as oc curred from January to May, 1928. The 1929 corn’crop in the United States will not be ready for harvest until late in the year, but it will be- come a market influence as soon as the new growing season starts, the Foundations adds. Extremely unfa- vorable weather could make the new crop outlook the most important mar- ket factor, GOVERNOR WOULD GIVE STATE SIX MILLIONS The governors bills for appropriation of $6,211,000 for the Pennsylvania Sta- te College were introduced in the leg- islature last week, Senator Harry B. Scott sponsoring the senate measure and representative J. L. Holmes, Cen- tre county, that in the House. Compared with a total appropriation of $4,000,000 from the 1927 legislature, the Governor's budget provides $2,250,- 000 for new buildings, would pay off an accumulated debt of $711,000, and give $3,250,000 for maintenance as com- pared with $3,000 000 for the 1927-29 period. Of this later amount $400,000 would be used for agricultural research $650,000 for agricultural and home ec- onomics extension, and $2,300,000 for general maintenace. The only part of this proposed ap- propriation that woul be applied for needs for which the $8,000,000 bond is- sue defeated by voters in November for eight years would have been avail- able for college buildings. The two and a quarter millions in the governor's budget would be available for use in the next two years. WRONG ADDRESSES ON CARDS. The bureau of motor vehicles at Har- risburg has been flooded with com- plaints of operators of motor vehicles to the effect that they have not re- seived renewal application forms for their 1929 drivers’ license but their failure to receive such renewal forms is due to their neglect to furnish the bureau of motor vehicles with their proper address, Benjamin G. Eynon, registrar of motor vehicles, announ- ced this week. “Operators who move from one adc- ress to another and fail to notify the bureau of motor vehicvles ‘of their change of address cannot expect to re- ceive renewal formd. Operators will save themselves a great deal of trouble if they will make sure that the bu- reau of motor vehicles has their pre- per address,” Registrar Eynon said. STUDENTS TO TOUR EUROPE. An elective study tour of European forests is made each year by the sen- jor class of the Pennsylvania State Forest School, located at Mount Alto, Franklin county. Dr. E. A. Zeigler, the director, an- nounced that arrangements have been i land. Some of the best foresters,in Eu- rope will act as guides to the party. BOWL BEING IMPROVED. When members of the Pennsylvania National Guard stage their athletic ev- ents at Mt. Gretna, next summer, part- icipants and spectators will (benefit from work which has been pushed during the winter months, when wea- ther permitted. The “bowl” there has been subjjected to considerable grad- ing. Drainage basins have been es- tablished and connected with pipe lines so that muddy fields will not interfere with sports. Slopes for seating the spectators have been made more com- fortable, and a retaining wall has been built along the edge of them. IMPROVEMENT IN REPORTING. Improvement in the prompt report- ing of births by physicians in the Com- monwealth is shown in the records of the bureau of vital statistics of the state health department, which checks the situation on the reports received on the delinquent list, and since that date the number has been reduced to twenty-six. The delinquency of physi- cians in this matter is in charge of the field inspection bureau of the depart- ment. Compiliation of the latest odvices rel- ative to the influenza situation show that a further dimuition of the influ- enza epidemic continues, the bereau of communicable diseases, at Harrisburg, states. While isolated communities in the commonwealth will likely be af- fected for some weeks to come, it is entirely logical to suppose that the gen- eral situation will continue to improve satisfactorily, the report said. ar i —— CONTROLLER'S OFFICE.
