ENNSYLVANIA motorists seem
to have reached the end of their
patience about the continuing in-
ereases in gasoline taxes.
This tax started in 1921 at 1l-cent
3 cents, but the Federal tax of 1 cent
promptly brought the total back to 4
cents; and now the state administra-
tion is demanding that the state tax
be raised to 5 cents, making, with the
federal levy, a total of 6 cents.
Since this tax was imposed, Penn-
sylvania motorists have paid $275,-
804,847 under it; only California and
by a big majority.
of the legislature.

A WISE OWL
Mrs. George Mumper, at Florin, has
a freak in what she calls a white fly-
ing squirrel. It was exhibited for the
first time to some of the members of
camp Ream last Thursday evening.
Was invited out to a St. Patrick’s
dinner on Sunday and among the guests
was a small boy from Marietta street.
His hostess asked: “Are you sure you
can cut your own meat, young man?
And the little fellow answered: “Oh,
yes, thanks.” I've often had it as tough
as this at home!”
Lucky for him his mother wasn't at
the table at the time. Or I'll wager he’d
be eating off the mantel.
“Carrie” Parrell was having a great
deal of trouble and finally in despair
she asked “Pancake” Mateer: “How
can I get a wart off my hands?” And
“Pancake” very brilliantly suggested:
“Why not shoot him?”
Spit is a horrid word—even in a ci-
gar advertisement.”
At a Saturday morning get-to-
gether “Jack” Fogie asked Moon Rei-
gel: “Was it very crowded at the Florin
Inn last night?” and Moon replied:
“Not under my table.”
“I guess this let's me out,” said the
gent as he pushed open the door mark-
ed EXIT.
“Bob” Lindemuth asked Ned Heilig
the following: “After you learned to
play the saxophone did you receive
any offers?” And “Ned” bashfully ad-
mitted: “Yeah, several of our neigh-
bors offered to shoot me.”
As a way to relieve the business de-
pression we advocate a National Make
More-Money-Week...Of course that’s
just an idea.
“Spook” Schneider says he likes girls
beautiful but dumb........... beautiful
enough to please him and dumb
enough to like him.
Last Friday afternoon when spring
was just sneaking around the corner
“Herb” Mummau sprawled across his
desk and started to day dream. When
the Prof. asked him what the trouble
was Herb complained: “I've got a
strange feeling in my head and in my
stomach.” And the Prof. asked: “I
suppose it's that EMPTY feeling?”
A lot of w omen fnd that marriage is
a delusion and a snore.
A very attractive young feminine
went to a doctor (I'm not saying it was
a local physician) and very sweetly
said: “Oh, Doctor, I'm bothered with a
terrible pain in the neck. What would
you suggest?” And the medico ans-
wered: “Ditch him and I'll see you in
half an hour.”
At least, unemployed apples should
have no worms working in them.
When Cappy Mummau went to work
Monday “Abe” Geltmacher said: “You
must have been drinking hard cider
again. Cappy replied: “Honest I wasn’t
And Abe disgustedly exclaimed: “Ap-
ple sauce!”
As far as crooners are concerned,
on»
how about a coast to coast hush-up?
“Oh, John!” screamed the excited
woman driver, “the car is running
away!” “Can you stop it?” asked the
worried husband. “No,” screamed his
wife. “Well, then, see if you can’t hit
something cheap.”
And the next time I see you it will
be spring! Beautiful spring. With it's
gardens to be dug, the house to be
painted, thunder storms on the days of
good baseball games, mosquitoes, fam-
ily picnics, etc, ete, too, beautiful
Spring!
Blah!

Ohio Indians’ Superstitious
Perhaps no people in the world were
more greatly influenced by auguries
and omens than the Ohio Indians, All
their activities were directed by the
gods of superstition. One strange cus-
tom, for example, led them to carry all
fcod out of a house, whose occupants
they had just playfully scalped and
which was to be set afire afterward,
in the belief that destroying food un-
necessarily would anger the Great
Spirit who provided them with suste-
nance.
The First Telescope
In 1590 the children of a Dutch
spectacle-maker named Jansen were
playing in the workshop. One little
chap picked up a couple of lenses and
held them together. A moment later
he cried out that the church spire had
come nearer to him! Father Jansen
had a look, and then fastened the
lenses in that position to a board. So
was the first telescope made.—Pear-
son's Weekly.
The Aurora Borealis
The frequency of the Northern
lights varies with the latitude of the
place. The aurora is comparatively
rare within 45 degrees of the equator,
but more frequent toward the north,
up te the latitude of about 60 degrees,
where it sometimes becomes almost a
nightly occurrence. The aurora is less
frequent near the poles.
The Carnegie Institution
The Carnegie institution is a founda-
tion with an endowment of some $25,
000,000, most of which was the gift
of Carnegie, himself, Its purpose is to
increase human knowledge and there-
by increase human happiness. It has
run far ahead of the dreams of An-
drew Carnegie and of the trustees who
helped him launch it,
Meaning of ‘Sine Die”
“Sine die” (pronounced ‘“sigh-nee
dy-ee”), when literally translated
means without day. It is used in the
legal sense and in adjourning congress
to mean “without a day appointed on
which to meet again” or without a set
date for the next meeting.—Pathfinder
Magazine.
Alabaster
Alabaster is a variety of gypsum or
selenite, resembling marble in appear-
ance, but softer. “Oriental alabaster”
is a mineral substance which is harder
than ordinary alabaster. It is found
in Bgypt, where in ancient times it
was worked into jars, urns and the
like.
Oriel Window's Origin
The architectural predecessor of the
oriel window is the turret, used as a
defense in the medieval home. The
outside stairway and roofs built at dif-
ferent levels are descended from the
old French farmhouse.
Spared Artist’s Hand “
A Spanish painter of the Sixteenth
century, suspected of the murder of his
wife, was tortured to extract a con-
fession, but his right hand was spared
that he might continue to produce his
masterpieces.
Name “Alcazar”
The name *“alcazar” is applied to
various Moorish palaces in Spain,
which were originally constructed as
forts. They are chiefly noted for their
decorative work and arcaded courts.
Slipped a Cog
Jud Tunkins says he might have run
the farm more successfully if he had
called mother and the girls and the
hired man into conference and called
em a brain trust.
Women’s Right in N. Carolina
Until 1868, married women in North
Carolina did not have the legal right
to exercise control over property they
owned, that prerogative being vested
in husbands.
Indian Recipes in Book
A cook book so different that it is
hailed as a “bibliographical find” tells
just how the Indian women cook the
edibles that grow wild on the prairie.
Canal Boat Passengers Useful
Frequently passengers on the old
Ohio canal boats had to get out at the

Most Costly Warship

HEALTH TALK
WRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE B
APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HEALTH
PREVENTING
Few conquests of scie
so spectacular and complete
route of diphtheria. And this vic
has most firmly established the val-
ue of serum treatment both in its
preventive and curative phases .How
ever, toxin-antitoxin or its successor
toxoid for immunization, and anti-
toxin for timely cure, are brilliant
achievements of which the general
public even yet are not fully aware,
states Dr. Edith MacBride Dexter,
Secretary of Health.
Before the discovery of the
theria germ by Klebs and
1883-4, forty out of every onl
red victims succumbed. Today,
cluding that small minority unjustr
| fiably opposed to serum therapy, the
rate is but 5 per cent.
In Pennsylvania in 1906 the diph-
theria deaths aggregated 2438. In 19-
34 there were less than 200 fatalities
This amazing mortality drop can be
credited first, to the discovery of the
diphtheria’s cause; and second, to
the great serum weapons invented to
combat it.
As indicated, toxoid is the immun-
izing or preventive agent now usual-
ly employed. Only one injection
necessary. However,
for the body to develop immunity
three to four months are required
At that time the Schick test is ap-
plied to determine the result of this
preventive treatment. This harmless
and painless procedure is performed
bv injecting into the upper layers of
the skin a minute drop of the diph-
theria toxin. If within forty-eight
to seventy-two hours there is no red
ness at the place where the toxin
was injected, or perhaps a small
blister and some hardness of the
skin, immunity has been definitely
established.
However, when a case of diph-
theria exists anti-toxin is the only
treatment that will save life. Also,
to be effective, it must be given early
and in large doses. Delay is usually
caused by parents failing to realize
that any sore throat may actually be
diphtheria.
Certain misconceptions regarding
antitoxin should be removed. For
instance, antitoxin never produce
paralysis or bad hearts. These con-
ditions are a direct result of diph-
theria poison. They signify that the
antitoxin was given too late or in
insufficient doses. Thus, while anti-
toxin can counteract poison it cannot
restore vital tissue that toxins have
already destroyed.
It follows that preventive medicine
in the form of toxoid and curative
medicine as represented by antitoxin
perform magnificently if given their
proper chances to do so. There isev-
ery reason in the world to employ
these agents, and no logical reason
against them.
You aren't a poor wage slave, how
ever, until ybur desperate trying fin-
ally lands a job.
Fable: Once a man lost his mem-
ory and wandered away just after
paving all of his bills.
Still, men would be catty at times
if they knew that nobody would
dare slao them silly.
Pity the poor home owner who
never knows where his next tax
money is coming from.
Another good test of blood pres-
sure is your sight of what daughter
intends to marry.
But when the lion and lamb lie
down together. the lamb will still be
mad because he isn’t a lion.
Happy is the man who doesn’t fret
about things he can’t help, such as
the weather and the mail service.
