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

“Those who have not yet received

the bureau of mootr vehicles, depart-
| ment of highways, for their applica- |
| tions.

then, can't the post oifice forward the

“The reason can well be appreciated
when once it is understood. The ad- |
dress of every licensed driver is a vi-

sential that this record be kept up to

to write to the department to have
correction made. It is conceded, in the
light of experience, that very few
would send in corrections.
“In a single yerat he number of in-
correct addresses in the department’s

a few years the records would be vir-

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.

=~ SLAUGHTERED UNDER FEDERAL INSPECTION -
SEARS-ROEBUCK AGRICULTURAL FOUNDATION
A prosperous year is in store for
beef cattle growers in 1929, states the
Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Founda-
tion in its annual survey of market
prospects. 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.

Improvement in wheat prices in the
early part of 1929 is quite possible
and the 1929 crop is likely to sell at
higher prices than have been paid for
the 1928 crop if present indications of
lighter world production are confirmed
by future development. 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,

3,730,000,000 bushels in the present
crop year compared with 3,560,000,000

the 1929 world wheat crop will not be
available for several months yet, but

WARM AIR LEADS
AS MOST POPULAR
HEATING SYSTEM
Which system of home-heating
most popular, is a question home-own-
ers frequently ponder when trying to
select equipment for their own
houses.
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
