There were about eight thousand persons whose spines were fractured in automobile accidents in this coun- try in 1937. Of that number, about 1,150 died. Great care should be taken in hand- ling injured persons immediately fol- lowing traffic accidents. On many occasions fractures of the spine are recognized at once. Such an injured person may say that he has a “kink” in his back and that the disability is of little importance, Even though the injury may appear insignificant, a backache after an auto- mobile accident should suggest prompt medical advice. Contrary to popular opinion, there is frequently no deformity involved in spinal fracture. Actually there are many types of fractures of the spine without disloca- tion or pressure on the spinal cord. Many fractured spines are not ac- companied by paralysis and with ade- quate treatment the patients may be expected to recover and return to their former occupations. But compression fractures constitute A AMANTO ¢ * REMEMBER A RARE TREAT FOR ANY AU- DIENCE—A COMPELLING TALE FILLED WITH GENUINE CHAR- ACTERS WHOSE FOIBLES, PET- TINESS AND GOODNESS WILL BRING LAUGHTER AND TEARS CLOSE TOGETHER.

Roberts, state auditor gen- payment of $3,293,880.51, representing Liquid Fuels Tax moneys payable to sixty-four of the sixty-seven counties of the Commonwealth for the six mon- ths period ended May 31, 1939. Under the Liquid Fuels Tax Act of 1931, automobile users pay a state tax of 4 cents on each gallon of gasoline purchased. Of this tax the state re- turns %c per gallon to each county on June 1 and December 1 of each year, at the ratio that the average return made during the three preceding years to eacn county bears to the av- erage amount returned to all counties for the three preceding years. Two and one-half cents per gallon of the 4c tax is available for state road functions and one cent for general state purpos- es. The money allocated to the counties | can be used only for the purpose of “construction, reconstruction, main- tenance and repair of roads, highways and bridges, including the payment of property damage, and for the payment of interest on bonds issued for high- ways and bridge purposes.” The amount approved for payment | to the Commissioners of Cambria coun- | ty is $54,761.91, and represente 1.610 | per cent of the total collected through- | out the commonwealth during the past | six months. — | PREVENT COCCIDIOSIS. | This dread disease, so common to chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, and guinea fowls, is a serious economic problem to the poultryman as it ex- acts a heavy toll from his flocks, at times as high as 90 to 100 per cent mor- tality. It is particularly prevalent during the warm, damp days of spring and early summer. It is then that especial care should be given to control the disease as the conditions for its spread are most favorable at this time. In the past, attempts have been made to control, cure, and prevent the dis- ease by various measures and all kinds of remedies and quack nostrums have been offered the poultryman. The Ex-| Republican leaders expect that Jud- tension Service of the Texas A. & M. be prevented through the feeding of 5 per cent commercial flour sulphur. They recommend that 5 per cent of the commercial flour sulphur be in- cluded in the mash from the time the chicks are two weeks old until they are placed in the laying house at five to six months of age. However, it is im- perative that. this sulphur feeding should not begin until after the chicks are two weeks old.

DEMOCRATS OFFER PARTY'S SUPPORT | | | TG JUDGE KELLER' Harrisburg.—Democratic leaders on Thursday last pledged their support to reelect a Republican Superior Court jurist—an action considered without recent political precedent in Pennsyl- vania. Overstepping party lines, the Dem- ocratic State Committee indorsed Jud- ge Wm. H. Keller, Lancaster Repub- lican, for a third term, to one of the state wide judicial posts at stake in the fall election. As Democratic candidates for the other two vacancies on the superior court, the committee named U. S. Rep- resentative J. Harold Flannery of Lu- zerne county and Former State Sena- tor Edward Jackson Thompson of Cen- tre County. Dean Herbert F. Goodrich of the Un- iversity of Pennsylvania Law School, was indorsed for the supreme court seat of Justice John W. Kephart of this county. He is ineligible for reelection. Goodrich came into prominence dur- ing the administration of Former Gov- ernor George H. Earle as chairman of a committee which drafted legislation creating the present Department of Public Assistance and placing its per- sonnel under civil service. Kephart has backed Judge Marion D. Patterson, RepubFcan, Blair coun- ty, as his successor. Judge Sarah M. Soffel, Pittsburgh, registered Republican, has announced her candidacy for the supreme court on both Republican and Democratic tickets.

REGISTRATION OF THE ALIENS IS NEW TASK OF STATE BUREAU Harrisburg.—The Department of La- bor and Industry started to set up an ailien registration bureau the other day shortly after Governor James signed a bill requiring aliens to register be- fore the end of the year. Secretary Lewis T. Hines said he would appoint a director and office staff to function at Harrisbrug head- quarters in carrying out the large task of keeping a check on aliens over 13 in Pennsylvania. “The bureau will work within our Bureau of Inspection and together wita the seven district headquarters. We will arrange to designate places, such as court houses throughout the state, for registration,” Hines said. Exempt from the law, effective next Januray are: 1—Parents of persons who served this Nation in war time. 2—Aliens living in Pennsylvania continuously since December 31, 1908, without being convicted of a crime. 3—Aliens who have applied for cit- izenship. The bill was passed after a bitter legislative fight. Democrats opposed the measure, contending it would be used for political purposes and that it is unconstitutional because alien regis- tration is a federal issue. Proponents said there are “too many aliens” and referred during debate to “subversive influences.” Under terms of the law ,after Janu- ary 1 aliens must carry cards at all times proving their registration and produce them upon demand from peace offices or qualified representatives of the department of Labor and Industry. Convicted violators of this rule are subject to a maximum fine of $10 or 10 days in jail. of the law and fail to register are sub- ject to a $100 fine, 80 days in jail, or both. The registration cards must be ex- hibited in applications of ailiens licenses. i Persons who come unaer the terms | for | automobile owners’ cards and operator . all conveniences.
