No, folks; Poverty is not a crime
but a lot of folks now realize that
it’s a terrible inconvenience.

A Marietta street man said:
“Yes, my son, I'm a self-made
man.”
Boy replied: “That’s what I ad-
mire about you, Dad. You always
take the blame for everything.”
A lady on West Main street said
to her husband: “It sure hurts me
to think how you have changed.
You used to catch me in your arms
every night.”
He replied: “Yes, dear, and to
think that now I catch you in my
pockets every morning.”

Jim Berrier, out at Milton Grove,
says there’s just one way he knows
of that will keep milk from getting
sour—Ileave it in the cows.
Recently some woman. from the
«ity asked Jim. if their cows give
milk. He said: “No we must take
it from them.”
A few days ago a stranger here
went to the post office and asked
Calvin Kramer if he had any mail
for Mike Howe. Calvin said: “No,
we have no mail for your cow or
any one else’s.”
down at Ma-
rie’s Specialty Shoppe if she knew
what makes the Tower of Pisa lean.
Can’t get anythiny on her tho.
She replied: “If I knew I'd take
some of it myself.”
I asked the lady
A little boy and girl, brother and
sister, on Mount Joy street, wanted
to play that they were married
when the girl remarked: “Aw, we
can’t. Ma said we wuz to keep
quiet.”
“I see by the paper that a college
professor says a mosquito can fly 14
hours without settling.”
“If that’s true why does it
so often to put in its hill?”
A farmer driving past an insane
asylum with a load of fertilizer.
“What are you hauling?” called
an mmate.
“Fertilizer,” said the farmer.
“What are you going to do with
it?”
“Put it on my strawberries.”
“You ought to live here. We get
sugar and cream on ours.”

A local young covple were spoon-
ing on the street school
grounds the other night when this
conversation was overheard:
“I'll be frank with you. You're
not the first girl I ever kissed.”
She replied: “I'll be equally frank
with you. You've got a lot to learn.”
A certain chap we know has been
so busy lately that he’s having his
doctor take out only one tonsil at
a time.
I know one chap who took it out
of a bully we have here. One of
our doctors removed his appendix.

I asked a certain young lady
here: “What do you do when you
see an unusually beautiful lady?”
She said: “I look for a while,
then I get tired and lay the mirror
down.”
Here’'s a good tip, fellows. A
man at Florin bought his wife a
banjo. He/said he is darn sick and
tired of having her pick on him.

A chap walked into the Central
Cut Rate Store and said: “I want
to get some thing for my stomach.”
The clerk said: “The lunch coun-
ter is on the other side.”

fA chap from here who went to
state College was asked what he
/ knew about dairying.
He said: “Quite a bit. I kept a
diary for over four years.”
Now he’s back home again.

Hydro Power
For Washington
IS TO RE-

NATION'S CAPITAL

CEIVE ENERGY FROM SUS-
QUEHANNA THROUGH AR-
RANGEMENTS MADE BY PO-
TOMAC ELECTRIC POWER CO.
FOR INTER - CONNECTION
WITH SAFE HARBOR-BALTI-
MORE SYSTEM.

Washington, July 21, 1932—Ne-
gotiations have been successfully
completed by the Potomac Electric
Power Company through which hy-
droelectric power will be brought
to the Nation’s Capital to supple-
ment the supply generated by the
steam in the Potomac Company’s
plants.
The hydroelectric power is to
come from the new plant on the
Susquehanna River at Safe Harbor,
Pa. The development in the art of
transmitting large blocks of the
Potomac system with the high ten-
sion transmission lines of the Safe
Harbor-Baltimore system.
The interconnection will give
Washington the advantages of an
additional outside source of supply
from a large and diversified power
system supplementing the local
sources of power in the District.
The neaerst point to Washington
on the 230,000 volt line which
brings the Safe Harbor power to
Maryland is just west of Ellicott
City. A 23-mile transmission line
will be built from this point to
Washington.
Construction of a switching sta-
tion in Howard County, Md., the
fabrication of the steel for the
towers, the manufacture of the
aluminum cables, their erection and
the building of a 100,000 horsepow-
er transformer station, the laying
of under ground cables, and work
in several of the substations that
will receive the power in the dis-
trict, will give employment to hun-
dreds of men. Besides the employ-
ment created in the factories which
will supply the material and the
electrical esuipment, several hund-
red thousand. dollars will be ex-
pended directly for labor in the
erection of the transmission line
and auxiliary stations.
Construction will begin within
the next few months and it is ex-
pected that the river power will be
delivered to the Potomac system on
or before October 1933.
Use of the new supply of energy
by the Potomac Company will be to
take care of the peak loads, which
will enable the Company to utilize
its capacity more uniformly and
with better efficiency.
The Safe Harbor development is
located in the Susquehanna basin in
the river’s fall between Columbia
and Chesapeake Bay. Safe Harbor
is eight miles above Holtwood
where the Susquehanna is harness-
ed by the hydroelectric development
of the Pennsylvamia Water & Pow-
er Company. This latter plant has
been in successful operation since
1910 supplying power to public
utility systems in Baltimore, Md.,
York, Lancaster, and Coatesville,
Pa. The new development which
was built on the experience gained

in the utilization of the Susquehan-
na at Holtwood and which was des
signed and is being operated by
the same men who placed the Holt-
wood plant in operation, has been
in service since early in December,
1931.
Four generators of 42,500 horse-
power each driven by the largest
Kaplan turbines ever built in Amer-
ica give a present installed capacity
at Safe Harbor of 170,000 horse-
power. Foundations are ready for
two additional! turbines which will
bring the initial capacity at Safe
Harbor to 255,000 horsepower. The
waters impounded in the lake of 10
square miles behind the mile long
dam will ultimately drive 12 tur-
bines at Safe Harbor with a total
capacity of 510,000 horsepower.
Safe Harbor, connected through

tie lines with the Holtwood devel-
opment, which has a combined hy-
dro and steam capacity of 180,000
horsepower, is part of the coordin-
ated hydro and steam power sys-
tem of which the steam plants of
the Consolidated Gas Electric Light
and Power Company of Baltimore
of 346,000 horsepower capacity con-
stitute the principal steam reserve.
The system is also interconnected
with the high tension lines of the
Metorpolitan Edison Company and
of other power companies in Penn-
sylvania.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
contracted for power from this co-
ordinated hydro and steam system
for the electrification requirements
of its lines from the Susquehanna
Crossing at Havre de Grace, Md.,
to Washington and environs.
Through the arrangements suc-
cessfully negotiated by the Potomac
Electric Power Company provision
is made for an interchange of the
power between the 325,000 horse-
power plants in Washington, of
which the latest addition is now
under construction, the steam
plants in Baltimore and the devels
opments at Safe Harbor and Holt-
wood.
The Safe Harbor development is
owned by the Safe Harbor Water
Power Corporation which was built
and financed through the co-opera-
tion of the Consolidated Gas Elec-
tric Light and Power Company of
Baltimore and the Pennsylvania
Water and Power Company, these
three companies being known as
Aldred interests.
The = Susquehanna River
the largest watershed of any of
the rivers flowing into the North
Atlantic except the St. Lawrence. It
forms the headwaters of the Ches-
apeake Bay into which the Poto-
mac flows 110 miles nearer this es-
tuary’s confluence with the Atlantic
drains
Ocean. The new transmission line
will thus supply energy from the
Susquehanna to the Nation’s Capi-
tal on the Potomac.

Urges Autoists
To Co-operate
(From page 1)
it is accomplishing much along this
line. A car may be in perfect con-
idtion mechanically, with every one
of the several hundred nuts and
bolts in the body, chassis and mo-
tor tight but if there’s a ‘loose nut’
behind the steering wheel the ve-
hicle is unsafe.”
“Statistics gathered by the
American Automobile Association
in a recent nationwide survey of ac-
cident causes show that in 89 per
cent of the fatal and near fatal ac-
cidents during the past year the
driver, not the mechanism of the
motor vehicle, was at fault. This
indicates quite clearly where most
of the trouble is and provides a
most convincing reason why the
State should go a step further in
its compulsory inspections and also
make sure that the human element
behind the wheel, as well as the
mechanism of the vehicle, is safe.
What we need is compulsory in-
spection that will include both driv-
er and vehicle, with ample follow~
up facilities to enforce all provi-
sions of the inspection. This could
be handled in such a way as to
work no hardship on operators, but
on the other hand, would give them
better protection against the care-
less and reckless motorist on our
streets and highways.”

Gold Found in Gizzard
Sonora, Cal, When you are being
careful not to kill the goose that
laid the golden egg, better have a
thought for the chickens, too. Rob-
ert Watson, miner at Brown’s Flat,
near here discovered a nugget of
gold worth $1.52 in the gizzard of a
chicken he was preparing for his
Sunday dinner, recently.

HEALTH TALK
JRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE
B. APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HF AY Te

“Self-confidence is happily one of
the prominent factors in American
life. Coupled with initiative and
energy, it has largely been respon-
sible for the many magnificient at-
tainments that can pridefully be
credited to our country. But it per
haps is well to keep at least a por-
tion of this confidence within the
proper limits. And this injunction
can not be more reasonably applied
than to the diagnosis and treatment
of disease,” states Doctor Theodore
B. Appel, Secretary of Health.
“It is a surprising but neverthe~
less a too general fact that self-
confidence, which weakens before a
law suit, a public speech, the handl-
ing of investments, the building of
houses and other specialized activ-
ities, is prone to become surprising-
ly strong where diagnosis and the
treatment of . disease are concerned.
“The pity of this attitude lies in
the serious illnesses and deaths
that frequently result as a cause
of it. While the matter of course
does not lend itself to accurate sta-
tistics, it has nevertheless been ess
timated that of the major Killers
such as cancer, tuberculosis, diabe-
tes and heart conditions, many hun-
dreds of victims die prematurely
because of carelessness and lack of
early diagnosis. Many of such
cases would have undoubtedly re-
ceived professional attention long
before they did had it not been for
this self-treating complex.
“It is indeed difficult to under-
stand why the average individual!
who delegates his other affairs of
importance to trained spcialists,
somehow imagines that he is per-
fectly capable of diagnosing what
is wrong with his highly compli-
cated body and of dictating the
drugs and procedure to make it
well again.
“Like other specialists, whether
they be lawyers, automobile me-
chanics, carpenters on what not, the
time, money and experience enter
largely into the value of their ser-
vices. To offset against a college
course, a four year medical train-
ing, a hospital internship and per-
haps a decade of practical exper-
ience in healing the sick—to offset
all that with a self-measured conv
ceit of one’s ability to treat him.
self, is a folly that is both expen-
sive and foolish. It can lead to
serious, even fatal results.”

ELECTORS NAMES
WILL NOT APPEAR
When voters receive their ballots
on November 8, the long lists of the
presidential electors that appeared
formerly will be missing. The Act
of 1931 provides that the names of
the candidates of each party for
the electors shall not be printed on
the ballot but only the names of
president and vice-president. A vote
in the square opposite shall be for
each of the electors of the party
marked. A mark in the straight
party column, opposite the name of
the party of his choice, shall also
be counted as a vote for each pres-
idential elector of that party.
If any voter does not wish to
cast his ballot for any of the party
candidates for President and Vice-
President the law makes provision
for leaving sufficient blank spaces
on the ballot where the names of
individual candidates for presiden
tia: electors may be inserted.

Taxes Separate
Retail gasoline dealers are ad-
vised by the State Department of
Revenue that the State and Feder-
al gasoline tax must be shown sep-
arately on display price cards or
signs. For example: Gasoline 15
cents; State Tax 3 cents; Federal
Tax 1 cent. Signs reading: “Tax
Four Cents” are illegal.

MUST HAVE PERMIT
TO OBTAIN FUNDS
FOR PUBLIC CHARITY

The bureau of assistance
State Department of Welfare
cently has received much correspon
dence from Better Business Bu-
reaus and Chambers of Commerce
inquiring into the status of agencies
and individuals soliciting funds for
charitable purposes.
Under rulings of the Solicitations
Act of 9925, agencies soliciting the
funds in Pennsylvania for charit-
able purposes, other than those or-
ganizations exempt by provisions
of the Act, are required to obtain
certificates from the Department of
Welfare.
Mrs. Martha J. Megee, director
of the bureau reports that in many
instances investigations have dis-
closed attempts to exploit present
conditions to the advantage ques-
tionable charitable organizations
and individual promoters.
Certificates of registration have
been issued to 93 accredited organ-
izations in the State, authorizing
solicitation of funds during the cal-
endar year to aid in carrying on
their work. Agencies planning fund
campaigns are warned that they
must comply with the provisions of
this law. Violation constitutes a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine or
imprisonment, or both.

More than 80 of Pennsylvania's
beautiful scenic vistas are located
50 public camps, and a score of
“points of interest,” including the
caves and fish-hatcheries.
“I believe the map will bring to
Pennsylvanians as well as others a
new realization of Pennsylvania’s
tremendous part in the founding of
America and also its scenic and re-
creational advantages,” said Dr. C.
Reitell, the Council director. “It
will afford many surprises for those
not versed in history. How many
Pennsylvanians know, for instance,
that Daniel Boone, famous wilder-
ness explorer, was born in Penn-
sylvania.
“Underlying the sketches, many
main highway routes are indicated
in orange. The map should be used
however, in conjunction with the
road map of the Departmégt of
Highways. Naturally the map Ne

suggestions and corrections for fu-

“The Council under its budget is
not able to publish an edition large
enough to meet the probable de-
mand. For this season we will
grant permission to any agency
which wishes to publish the map,
for free general distribution only.”
