tions of coffee to water, since it
must be double-strength to retain
its full flavor after icing. This is
not an extravagant suggestion, par-
ticularly this year when coffees of
excellent quality may be bought
for as low as twenty cents a pound
There are many delightful varia-

coffee hours. One of the most popu-

You fill a tall glass one-fourth {ull
of cracked ice and pour over it
three-fourths cup of clear, fresh’y

honey and mix well. Topped with

a little honey has heen beaten, this

LD beverages are as much a
part of summer living, and
quite as necessary, as are hot
drinks in cold weather. The loss
of weight and energy, due to the
hot weather, must be made good
with liquids and energizing foods,
if we are to keep our health, let
alone our tempers.
Eating and drinking lightly are
good summer habits, and a pick-
me-up at eleven o'clock in the morn-
ing and again at four in the after-
noon will check fatigue and lend a
cheerful aspect to even the most
trying day.

THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO., PA.
DAMS IN STREAMS
AID TROUT GROWTH Council Holds
|
The Fish Commission is emphas-
izing the importance of building of
dams or retards on trout streams
as a means for improving
fishing, Commissioner Oliver M.
Deibler said today.
In building these dams,
sioner Deibler said, the
forage for trout will be greatly in-
creased, and pools will be created
which will serve as protection in
Commis-
low water. Old Logs, anchored in
the banks of streams, make ideal
retards.
Five major points are emphasized
in bringing results from these dams
First, increasing the area of water
and reducing the velocity of the
current to provide more feeding
areas and better living conditions
for the fish. Second, providing pro-
tection for trout. Third, increasing
the water vegetation in every way
possible, as a source for growth of
insect life. Fourth, cleaning out
small spring brooks, which serve
as good shelter for young trout, and
fifth, care in not overstocking so
that the water area will provide
sufficient food for trout placed in it

ferences. The teachers will not be paid
for attendance at these conferences,
whereas under the old institute plan
they received $4 a day for the five
days.

Teachers Paid $4 a Day
“There are 843 teachers in
county,” Mr. Mylin pointed out. “At
$20 each, the institute salaries for
alone totalled $16,800. In
addition the County Commissioners
appropriated $200 a year toward the
incidental expenses, Under the new
plan, the Saturday conferences will
cost virtually nothing so that abolish-
ing the week’s institute shoud save the
school districts and the county ap-
proximately $17,000.”
Aside from the cost, the county
teachers institute as Lancaster county
has known it for more than three-
quarters of a century, no longer serves
a real purpose. Mr. Mylin believes.
He pointed out that music supervisors,
art teachers and other specialized in-
structors now meet monthly in the
County Superintendent's office and
that other county teachers now have
sufficient official contacts with the
county school heads and with each
other to make the annual get-together
unnecessary.
Under the new plan, Mr. Mylin said,
conferences probably will be held on
four or five successive Saturdays, pos-
siby at Millersville State Teachers Col-
lege.

lyn Jones, chief of the

of Health, as he announced that
while the marriage rate last year
was the lowest since records had
been kept in Pennsylvania, with the
exception of the years 1906, 1908,
and 1909, the divorce rate also was
the lowest since 1922.
The total of 7241 divorces grant-
ed last year, was 780 less than the
preceding year, while there were 4,-
610 fewer: marriages than in 1930.
For every divorce granted in 1931
there were approximately eight
marriages performed, according to
the data released by Dr. Jones.
While 12.4 persons out of each
1000 population were married in
Pennsylvania, last year, our neigh-
boring state of Maryland showed 30
persons out of each 1000 popula-
tion taking the marriage vows. The

Greater Pennsylvania Council’s
forthcoming bulletin upon the prob-
lems of the soft coal industry in
Pennsylvania.
Taking production of the year
1918 as 100 per cent the bulletin
will show that coal production and
use had declined by 1930 to 79 per
cent. Only four tons of coal, in-
cluding anthracite, were used in
1930 against each five tons in 1918.
Meanwhile, production of energy
by water power had increased in
1930 to 220 per cent energy pro-
duced by domestic oil had increased
almost three times, the 1930 figure
being 270 per cent. of 1918, and the
