OPERATOR'S FAILUE TO REPORT CHANGE IN ADDRESS REASON OF NO FORWARDING LICENSE CARDS Every year thousands of Pennsylva- nia mootrists are disturbed because they fail to receive applications for re- moval of their operator's licenses. On the other hand some drivers overlook the matter entirely, only to be halted on the highway after March 1st and arrested for driving without the cur- rent year's license. “There seems to be a general misun- derstanding,” says the Keystone Auto- | mobile Club, “of the reason for failure of the applications to reach them at the new post office addresses. They argue that the post office has been furnished with their forwarding ad- dress and that all other mail directed 1 | cation if the address has been changed Harrisburg. “Those who have not yet received | their applications because of change in address should obtain address correc- | tion blanks and send immediately to the bureau of mootr vehicles, depart- | ment of highways, for their applica- | | tions.

CIRCULATION AFFECTS HAIR Everybody prizes their hair while everybody laughs at baldness. BZut whetrer we take baldness laughabbley or sadlyis no joke. Few peoplt liket o bbe bald. Neither do they like to bbe gray, especiially so young. But in ei- ther case it not a matter of likes. The causes that make foi baldness in the young men and for early white and the thinning locks in women says Dr. and Senator Royal S. Copeland, are the samt. They appear to be peculiar in some families, and for this reason, are said to be inhernted. But while the ten- | dency to baldness may be transmitted | unconscious there is no direct brain control over those muscles in the brain, back and chest which aer essential for an errect posture maintenance. The | control depends on the reflex actions of the spinal cods. This phenomenom is similar to that of a bird slepping on a swaying limb. A reflex balance is maintained when consciousness is in abeyance. Horses sleeping while in a standing posture occassionally fall down. More often muscles in the fore lege relax suddenly and the animals knuckue over to the forelocks and im- mediately catch themselves. Horses go sometimes for months without lying down. It is remarkable how little of sleep they require. This is also true of elephants. Samuel Neff, aged 61 years, died at his home at Lilly on Sunday night.

The number of cattle mar- keted during the year is likely to be smaller than in the past year, the sup- ply of competitive meats probably will be less, and consumer demand prom- ises to be as large as in the past 12 months. While the corn belt probably has more steers in feed lots to come to market in the early part of 1929 than in the same period in 1928, they will be largely offset during those months by smaller arrivals of cows and heif- ers. Later in the year, receipts prob- ably will reflect the reduction in pro- ducing capacity of herds that has oc- curred in the last ten years, and the close selling of young stock from the range last fall. High prices for cattle in the last 18 months have caused growers to sell closely instead of stimulating expan- sion of herds. Ultimately, however, as they come to believe that these prices will persist for a considerable period, young stock will be held back to in- crease breeding herds and this will mean a subtraction from the market supply. Such a te. lency is likely to be manifest in 1929, at least to a small degree. The complete record for the number of cattle slaughtered in 1928 is not yet available, but it is probable that it will show around 8,500,000 head com- pared with 9,520,000 head slaughtered in 1927, and 10,180,000 head in 1926, when the number was the greatest for any recent year. Calf slaughter to- taled ahout 4,700,000 head in 1928 compared with 4,877,000 in 1927, and 5,153,000 in 1926. In spite of the de- cline in slaughter in 1928, it is likely that it more than equaled production, so that the number of cattle kept primarily for beef on farms at the start of 1929 probably was slightly smaller than a year earlier. At that time it was smallest since 1912 and second smallest since 1898. Cattle producers received unusually attractive prices in the last twelve months. During September, October and No- vember, 1928, the average farm prices for all classes of beef cattle were the highest on record for the corresponding season of the year. The total income of producers for cattle in 1928 probably was 8 to 10 per cent greater than in 1927, in spite of the fewer numbers sold. Beef cattle producers should bear in mind that high prices will not be maintained when the number marketed is increased materially, the Founda- tion points out. If production were held near its present volume, high prices would continue indefinitely. It is probable, however, that the attrac- tive prices which have prevailed dur- ing the past 18 months will gradually stimulate production, although two or three years must elapse before any such increase can show up in market receipts. Until receipts do increase, beef cattle prices are due to stay on a comparatively high level. These high prices will add most to the profits of owners of breeding herds. The profits of cattle feeding wiil be held down by the high cost of thin steers. Better Prospects for Wheat Growers in 1929 PER BU.

These are the conclusions of the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, based on a study of the market situation and ten- dencies in wheat production. The wheat market has been weight- ed down by the record visible supply which totaled about 138 million bush- els at the end of 1928. The seasonal decrease in receipts probably will re- sult in reduction of these stocks and thus lead to a moderate rise in prices, although they are likely to continue on a lower level than in the first five or six months of 1928. Supplies available for export in all surplus countries combined are larger than a year ago. While world import demand also is larger, it probably has not gained as much as the supply, hence the relatively low world price level. Prices in the United States are the lowest since June, 1924, of Russia and China, is estimated at 3,730,000,000 bushels in the present crop year compared with 3,560,000,000 World production of wheat, exclusive 4.6 per cent, and the largest on record.

In addition, the Foundation points out that the chances favor lower aver- about 15.6 bushels per acre the world over.

Holland Institute of Thermology of Holland, Mich, which cites results of a national survey on the subject re- cently completed. This investigation showed that 46.9 per cent of all American homes are heated by the warm air circulating system; 24 per cent by steam, hot water, vapor and vacuum systems; and the remaining 29.1 per cent by stoves and fireplaces. This is taken as an index of public appreciation of the healthiness of warm air heat. Deep Basement Adds to Home Heating Efficiency If the prospective home-builder vants a well-heated house, he should insist that the basement he deep enough to allow for installation of his warm air furnace in such a man- mer that it can function to the best advantage. This is the advice of the engineers of the Holland Institute of Thermol- ogy, Holland, Mich. which has recent ly completed a survey of the factors making for efficient home heating. To meet the situation in old homes where basements cannot be altered to provide for a first-rate heating in- stallation, or where conditions of the goil prohibit basements of the ideal depth—seven feet—the largest pro- ducer of warm air heating plants re- cently developed a new type of « circulating heating plant. It includes a motor-driven fan which forces air through ducts and leaders through which the force of gravity will not move ft. nor- Modern Devices Aid Home Hea Two auxiliary features in the home beating plant are pointed out by the Holland Institute of Thermol- ogy -of Holland, Mich., as me which the average home-owner may nelp to keep his heating c« One of these is an aut mostat for opening and clo drafts at certain hours, and for maintaining a constant temperature in the princi pal rooms. Many kinds of thermostats are available, and they may be op- erated with all types of modern cen- tral heating plants, including the vapor-air circulating system. Not only are they great conveniences, but they save fuel by preventing wide fluctua- tions of temperature. Proper humidifying equipment is a second means to economy of fuel.
