ROAD MATERIALS
IN WIDE DEMAND
Harrisburg. — The Pennsylvania
Turnpike will be a heavy consumer of |
cement, sand, stone and steel during
construction of the divided, four lane |
toll highway between Philadelphia and |
Pittsburgh.
The cement industry, in which this
state leads the nation, will find the | chase of about 20,000 tons of reinforc-
turnpike one of its best markets, the |
chairman, Walter A. Jones, said. The
commission expects to use in tunnels |
and roadways, at least 2,000,000 barrels
of cement, a little more than one twen- |
tieth of the output of Pennsylvania's
cement plants.
An even higher percentage of Penn-
sylvania’s annual production will be in
the purchase of sand. The super high-
way will require at least 600,000 tons.
The quarry industry will benefit in
an unusual degree. Commission engi-
neers estimate that the gross amount
of crushed stone of the various sizes
will approximate 1,800,000 tons. Speci-

| BILL. PROPOSES TO ELIM-
INATE BEER LICENSES
Harrisburg.—Elimination of all the
beer licenses in Pennsylvania is being
discussed by members of the House of
Representatives Liquor Control Com-
mittee, who expected new legislation
! to be introduced to amend the Liquor
Control Law.
The discussed plan would leave only
liguor licenses available to retailers,
| and would restrict material by the is-
| suance of new licenses ,in order to re-
duce the high total of licenses ce.
Abolition of licenses to p rooms
that sell only beer would affect some
4,000 licensees throughout the state,
who are now competing fbr business
with some 17,000 taprooms licensed to
sell liquor and beer.
Rep. Thomas Lyons (R., Sharon),
chairman of the House Liquor Control
Commitee, said legislation now is be-

MORE EXPECTED BY
duties as district forester of the Gall-
itzinn District of the Pennsylvania De- |
partment of Forests and Waters Satur-
day last, came the announcement that
William F. Ott, inspector in Blair
County, had been discharged, and Roy |
W. Shiffler, of Cross Keys, Blair Co.
had been appointed to the position. |
Ott served as inspector in lair
county during the 3-year period that
Thomas M. Gray of Soutmont was the
district forester. Gray resigned his po-
sition March 31st, and was replaced by
Zerby who formerly held the position
for a number of years prior to 1935
when he was replaced by Gray.
The change in Blair county also in-
volves a trade around in the Blair
county jobs ,as Shiffler held the in- |
spector’s job for several years before
he was replaced by Ott in 1936.
Changes in the executives of the lo-
cal district also are expected to affect
the towermen and possibly some war-
dens in Cambria, Indiana and Blair
counties, it was learned.
Two towermen i nthe district have
tendered their resignations as effect-
ive April 1st, it is also said. They are
William Webb of Brush Mountain tow-
er in Blair county, and William Car-
rig, of Elstie Tower, near Gallitzin, in
Cambria county.
Albon Leiden or St Lawrence,
veteran district inspector of northern
Cambria county, has not been approv-
ed for reappointment to the post under
the new administration. It has not
been learned whether he will be reap-
pointed or not.
Although the spring fire season has
officially opened in the state heavy
rains over the week end in the local
area reduced the possibility of out-
breaks.
MINE DRAINING
1S NOW AUTHORIZED
Governer James authorized the De-
partment of Health to pump out the
St. Vincent bituminous coal mine in
Westmoreland county. The mine was
flooded in March, 1936.
The Governor said he had been as-
sured that draining of the mine would
permit the owners to re-establish a
$120,000 a month monthly pay roll,
which would absorb a $40,000 a mon-
th relief load in that territory.
He explained that draining of the
mine also would permit reopening of
adjoining collieries and thus provide
additional employment.
The City of Pittsburgh had com-
plained that the draining project
wculd result in acid deposits in city
water supply which comes from the
Allegheny river.
Dewatering of the mine can be ac-
complished within an appropriation
balance of $150,000, the State Depart-
ment of Health announced.

SOME FACTS CONCERNING
GOITER AND ITS CAUSES
The singer said he might have tak-
en a higher note, but he was afraid
his eyes would pop out.
Eyes don’t pop out from vocal
strain.
But they do protrude from increas-
ed thyroid gland activity.
Such condition is known as “exoph-
thalmic goiter.”
Exophthalmic is derived from the
Greek words “out” and ‘eye’, and is
defined as an abnormal protusion of
the eyeball.
Just what causes the disease is not
known but it is regarded as a mani-
festation of excessive or perverted
thyroid activity.
There is rapid pulse, a moist skin,
loss of weight despite gbod appetite,
restlessness and irritability and a ten-
dency to laugh or cry easily or become
angry or excited on the least provoca-
tion.
Exophthalmic goiter may be present
without the swelling in the neck or

reason to believe of an overly-active

Women are much more attlicted with
this disease than men.
One of the strange symptoms of
exophthalmic goiter is that with an
increasing sense of fatigue and weak-
ness there may be a great nervous ex-
citability and an inward drive urging
the victim to purposeless activities.
There is often a peculiar staring ex-
pression, with unusually brilliant eyes
