PARIS. — Americans ate more than their share of 100,000 tons of foie gras, that famous gastronomic delicacy of France, which is expprt- ed from Alsace every year. That is in addition to the quantity which is produced in Perigord and Gas- cony, of which some is exported. Although goose livers, from which foie gras is made, were known and appreciated as a delicacy for many centuries, foie gras only became fa- mous about 150 years ago when, what the French first called “pate” made its appearance in Strasbourg. As far as can be learned, it was about the year 1765 that Jean-Pierre Clause, chef of the king's chamber- lain who was governor of Alsace, in- troduced ‘‘pate de foie gras’’—liter- ally, goose liver pie. Clause was known as a great experimenter with foods and his new dish was greeted with unanimous admiration. But even the culinary discovery of Clause was to be improved in 1792 when Nicholas Francois Doyen, a Bordeaux chef then working in Al- sace, made the first foie gras as it is known today when he mixed the | pate with Perigord truffles. ! Since that time the two have al- ways been mixed, as the truffles heighten the flavor of the foie gras. For their part, there are no sta- tistics concerning truffles. A fungus root growth, truffle, as it is known in French, comes mostly from Peri- gord and Gascony. Curiously enough pigs, which have been trained for the task, are used in discovering truffles, as there is no growth above | the ground which will indicate their | presence. | The pigs use their sense of smell and when they begin to root they | are pulled away and the truffles | searcher digs them up himself. i | | Seven Suggestions for Safe Winter Driving CHICAGO.—From Evanston, IIL, | recognized by safety authorities as the safest city in the world, comes “Winter's Seven Safety Sugges- tions” for motorists. Judge Harry H. Porter, chief jus- tice of municipal court and presi- dent of the Safe Winter Driving league, listed practical safety meas- lows: | 1. Test brakes for simultaneous gripping. 2. Check condition of windshield wiper, defroster and tire chains. 3. Travel at less than moderate speeds on snow or ice covered high- ways or city streets and watch for children on sleds. 4. Shift into second gear for more ! gradual braking on snow or ice, par- ticularly if not safeguarded by tire ! chains. | 5. Take curves slowly and don’t | try to pass cars ahead of you on hills or curves. Descend steep hills in second gear if icy. 6. Apply brakes with clutch en- | gaged and before you ordinarily would in dry weather—and don’t de- pend on your horn because other car windows may be closed and some drivers (especially in country) wear ear muffs. 7. Exercise greater caution gener- ! ally and open car windows occa- | sionally to prevent windows fogging | up and, in old cars, possible danger | from carbon monoxide gas. | Remember: ‘An ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure.” The Evanston safety record in- cludes only a single traffic death | this year, and three times winning the National Safety council's award as ‘the safest city.” New Channel Increases Traffic on Mississippi MARQUETTE, IOWA.—Traffic on the Mississippi river has increased tremendously during the last ship- ping season. The Milwaukee railroad’s pontoon bridge here, which has to be open | for an average of 15 minutes to al- low passage of a boat, has been open for time equaling seven full days since last March 28, when the first tugboat went downstream. In 1937 a total of 408 boats passed the 276-foot pontoon. This year the figure is expected to be exceeded by almost 300. By mid-November, ap- proximately 675 boats had passed. In 1936 the number of boats was only 349. The number of barges plying the river also has increased, with 273 going through during October alone. Creation of a new channel and locks is credited with increasing the use of the Mississippi for freight shipping. Most of the barges carry oil, coal, machinery or grain. Artist Depends on Art To Pay for Education CLEVELAND. — Miss Ruth E. Mayer earned two years of her edu- cation at the Cleveland School of Art by drawing 825 illustrations for a new handbook on Chio’s wild flow- ers compiled by the Cleveland Mu- seum of Natural History's director. Miss Mayer worked on the illus- | trations in her spare time and dur- | ing summer vacations. The young artist and her mother and father collected most of the specimens, which served as models for the illustrations, within 30 miles j of Cleveland. . what should ordinarily i meeting the social needs of our neigh- Thursday, January 12, 1939. Largest Radium Shipment Received One-fifth of an ounce of radium, the largest single shipment ever received at one time by the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.

Curtiss is shown placing the precious shipment, val- ued at $150,000, in a 10-ton safe with a six-inch lead lining. MODERN “SAMARITANS” By Dr. Charles Steizie, Executive Di- rector, Good Neighbor League. The story of the “Good Samaritan” is one of the Greatest Classics Ever written. Everybody knows it. Every- body believes its teachings—at least tehoretically. Lodges and other frater- nal organizations have adopted it as lie basis of their constitutions. But let's see what is really involved in this great story, and then let's ask ourselves how near we come to follow- ing the example of the Samaritan. Here are the chief points in his ac- tions: First, he made a “survey.” The Priest and the Levite passed by on the other side/ of the Jericho road, leaving the man who had been robbed and beaten, probably with not so much as a backward glance. The Samaritan came where the wounded traveler lay to get the facts, and to find out what he needed. Second, he was “moved with com- ures for coming blizzards as fol- Passion.” He did not come merely to get the ' | data in the case, so that he might make | a statistical report to the authorities. He put heart into the task and he did not stop to ask about the wounded man’s religion, his race, his color, or | whether he belonged to any particular organization. Third, he helped the traveler. He bound up his wounds, set him upon his own beast, brought him to ian inn, paid his bill, and told the keeper that if the sick man needed any thing else, to see that he got it, and he himself would make it all right. And there you have an outline of be done in bors and all other unfortunates who have been “wounded.” This is all right, so far as it goes— but there's one thing else that needs to be done in these modern times— something that a thousand Good Sa- ma. itans, wroking as individuals, can never do—the “Jericho Roads” must be cleared of thieves and robbers! This will do away with the necess- ity of caring for wounded travelers— whether they have been wounded by industrial, social or political robbers. And this is a job that requires the combined efforts of all of us. The robbers are strong and ruthless—and they're organized. When the rest of us get together— churches and lodges—industry and labor, and all others who believe in wiping out injustice and lawlessness and unfair dealing—it will be “good night” to the robber bands on all “Jericho Roads.” JONES WILL HEAD COON HUNTERS UNIT At a meeting of the Cambria Coun- ty Coon Hunters’ Association last week in th Morellville Fire Hall, James M. Jones, clerk of courts, of Ebensburg, was elected president; Charles E. Wal- ker, Johnstown, vice president; John J. Cowan, Johnstown, secretary, and Herbert Mintmier, Wesley Chapel, treasurer. Frank Maser was selected delegate to the Cambria County Sportsmen’s Association, with which the club is affiliated. Dr. S. P. Boyer was elected to rep- resent the coon hunters at the next meeting in February of the Pennsylva- nia Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. Considerable discussion on various phases of game conditions was had, but no resolutions were adopted. At the February meeting, when the new officers will be installed, it is planned to serve lunch and refresh- ments and a good program of enter- tainment. MARS TO COME NEARER THE EARTH IN 1939 Philadelphia.—Mars will come clos- er to the earth during the spring and summer of this year than at any time for many centuries to come, according to James Stokley, associate director of the Franklin Institute, in charge of astronomy. The planet's proximity will make it possible for scientists to go far toward settling the question whether Mars is suitable for the existence of life, Mr. Stokley said. Mars will come within 36,024,300 mil- es of the earth this year. WHAT OF THE HEALTH OF THE ADOLESCENT? What of the health of the adolescent? Death rates are lowest at that time. { Yet there is much ill health during this vital period. | Adolescence is that period between childhood and young manhood or i young womanhood. It is a crucial time of mental and physical adjustment. Well balanced activity of the en- docrine glands, and particularly the thyroid, pituitary and the suprarenad glands, iniluence development during adolescence. Simple goiter is very common in the adolescent period. It is more common in females than males. Headache and migraine are also quite common at the beginning of the adolescent period. Home-sickness is frequent among nervous cniaren. who are sent away to boarding schools. They miss the more sympathetic at- mosphere of home life. Preventive measures must begin in the preadolescent state. Parents and teachers should be pre- pared to teach sex knowledge at the proper ages. Physical ailment should not be ig- nored and children should be given ; physical examination and eye tests pe- riodically. Many cases of heart disease owe their origin to improper care of min- or ailments, such as stiff neck or so- called “growing pains.” : : i The nervous system is peculirly li- i able to all kinds of disorders during adolescence. i Emotional instability frequently ap- | pears at this period. The adolescent period is one fraught | with many dangers.. i i ee el t BROTHERS SENTNCED FOR CAR APPROPRIATION Pleading guilty to the theft of an | auto belonging to the Blubaker Coal | Company in Spangler on December 8, ! John and George Beeghley, brothers, ‘ of St. Benedict, were sentenced by Judge McCann on Monday to serve 3 months in the county jail, pay the i costs and make restitution of $116.39 for damages they admitted having | done the machine. After taking the car the brothers drove to Indiana coun- | ty where they wrecked it. Following | the accident they attempted to steal a machine in Indiana county. When re- leased at Ebensburg they will probably be taken to the neighboring county to answer charges. Almost all kinds of clothes can be made fireproof, and fireproofing solu- tion can be made very simply at home, A “pinhole detector” for finding the flaws in steel strip while it moves swiftly past has been developed.
