CHANGE IS NEEDED
BY ALL SAYS DIXON
Commissioner of Health Gives
Some Idea in Regard to the
Care of Ones Health

The average man needs a change
and should have 1t, says DR.. Samuel
G. Dixon, the State Commissioner of
Health, in his weekly hygiene talk.
DR.. Dixon discusses the danger of get
ting into routine habits and not taking
proper recreation or change. In his
comments the commissioner says:
The majority of people who are oc-
cupied for fifty weeks out of the year
should seek in the remaining two to
find, not necessarily rest. but a change
of environment.
The man who has struggled through
the crowded streets of city, ridden on
packed trolley cars and railroad trains
for months on end should make his
way to the quiet country side, the
camp in the woods or some spot
equally free from the press of human
ity.
The man who lives in the country
or small town may find a correspond
ing benefit from a week or more spent
amid the rush and turmoil of the city.
Each of thees widely varying environ
ments holds the possibility of afford
ing mental stimulus to those who
are unfamiliar with their moods.
The mind no less than the body
needs refreshment and change. 1t
needs the stimulation of new ideas
1t is more difficult to acquire this in
our ordinary surroundings than where
| everything is strange and unusual and
the, mind is stirred to activity. 1t is
out of the question for the man who
maintains his regular routine day in
and day out to continue to put into
his work the same vigor.
We can become over developed
along one line mentally just as readily
as physically and the results may even
more seriously affect our welfare.
If in seeking for a change we en-
counter surroundings. which owing 70
unfamiliarity, are not agreeable, in
the long run we profit. If in no other
way, at least they make our own daily
round seem more acceptable by con-
traSt.
So plan your vacation that 1t will
bring you to realize afresh how multi
farious and interesting are the activ-
| tiles of mankind or how soothing 10
the weary mind are Mother Natures
marVels.

UNLOAD HAY IN SEVEN MINUTES

After seeing 1t done, it was so sim
pie that it was hard to believe. In
the first place, they used a side-de-
livery rake and made the windrows
just large enough so that once around
the field with the wagon made load.
Following the raking came the load
ing, and here is where the trick of un-
loading SO quickly came in, writes l..
w. Chase in Farm and Home. They
used tight bottom racks, so that no
time was wasted In finding a place to
step, and no sores were made from
missing their footing and slipping
through the cracks. They used sings.
When the team arrived in the field,
the slings were in place. One sling
was laid across the front half of the
rack with it's ends placed over the
sides and held there with short ropes
! tied in an easy slip knot. The other
sling was laid across the rear half of
the rack in a similar way. After the
loader was hooked to the wagon, the
loading began. One boy drove the
| team at moderate speed and the other
| loaded the hay. first filing the back
! half of the rack to its proper height,
then the front part
| At the barn one boy united the front
sling and tossed the ends up to the
boy on the load, who coupled the sling
to the hoist hook while the other went
to drive the hosting team. After the
| load had been ftripped, one boy pulled
the sling back while the other drove
the team back and united the rear
sling ready to remove the last half
| of the load.

Pittsburgh Steel Plants
at Its Full Capacity

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 13. - Orders
just issued from the executive offices
of the United States Steel Corporation
and the separate statement made by
various prominent officials of sub
sidiary organizations are Ito speed up
all operating iron and steel plants to
maximum capacity, to rush repair
work TO earliest completion, and to
stand ready to turn out more steel
products than ever before"
The orders which were received by
operating managers in the gigantic
steel corporation chain. located far
and wide throughout the country, pre-
ceded by a few hours the statement
given to Wall Street Saturday noon,
which showed the aggregate of un-
filled orders on hand at the end of
June. The untitled orders on June 80
totaled 4,6TS,19 tons, an increase Of
Al ,59S tons over Mays unfinished
tonnage.
Running full, with it's present
capacity, the iron and steel industry of
the United States will give employ
ment to approximately 100000 per-
sons, and will establish a payroll of
s45o.00O.0o0 a year. Those figures are
far above the figures of any other
single manufacturing industry.

DIVING FOR THE SUBMARINE F.4

The sinking of the F-4 of the Ha-
waiian submarine f1otilla during ma
neuvers in Honolulu harbor on March
%. when it failed to rise after diving
with twenty-one members Of its crew
is the first fatal disaster that has oc-
CURED to an American undersea craft
An account of the disaster appears in
the June Popular Mechanics Maya
zine and a number of illustrations
show the work OF locating the position
of the lost craft, which involved some
remarkable diving. The article states
I'm making the unprecedented dive
to the bottom of Honolulu harbor the
naval operative wore an ordinary div
ing suit. Altogether he was under the
water for about two hours. The de-
scent was made very rapidly, only five
minutes being consumed. After in
specting the hull of the submerged
vessel and ascertaining how the lines
were lying he commenced to be raised
to the surface. An hour and IS min
utes was spent in doing this, so as to
accustom him slowly to the decreasing
pressure and the final change to the
crmal atmospheric pressure. This
procedure is made necessary by the
tremendous pressure a diver is sub
tected to when under a great depth of
water. At 800 feet this amounts to
approximately 130 pounds to the square
inch. or for man of average stature,
an aggregate load Of possibly 40 tons.
A quick descent is possible, since an
increase in pressure can be readily
withstood by the body. up to a certain
point. but on ascending every possible
care must be taken to allow the body
to become accustomed to the lighter
load. This is the reason that seven
eighths of the time the diver was in
the water was spent in raising him to
the surface"

as far as possible on the per capita
basis. Small districts will be given
a minimum.
The members of the board consult
ing yesterday with Governor Brum-
baugh are very desirous of having the
burdens of education made as easy as
possible. The plan is to have every
thing ready this Fall.
The board elected William Lauder,
of Bedford, as vice chairman and re-
elected DIR. J. George Becht as
mean that DIR. Becht will remain here
and not become vice president of
Lafayette College. Robert C. Shaw,

CUNNINGHAM GOES
AFTER LAW BREAKERS
Sends Notices That Repetition Of
Auto Law Violations VIII
Mean Loss Of Cards

Dozens of owners of automobiles
and chauffeurs have been officially
warned by Highway Commissioner
Cunningham since the first of the
month that they have been reported
for violating automobile regulations in
operating cars without front and rear
tags, without lights and in other ways
contrary to the State regulations.
These warnings are accompanied by
statements that a second offense will
necessitate a hearing to show cause
why license should not be revoked.
AS high as twenty complaints of this
character have been received by the
Highway Department day. In addi7
tion there are pending several cases in
which men have been summoned to
show cause why automobile licenses
should not be revoked on the charge
that cars were operated by intoxicated
people.
The commissioner yesterday res
voked the license of John Connally,
of Titusville, on the charge of running
a car while drunk. He was fined in
Oil City for the offense.

A PEARL-FTSHER

shaven and ruddy. deep-voiced, and of

as 'gettin' along in years Facing

was drifting slowly downstream.

A SURE CROP OF MELONS

The secret of raising melons in a
dry time has been discovered by a
Kansas farmer, who had an abundant
crop last year, while the fields of. his
neighbors were dried up with droutr.
Farm and Home thus describes his
methods: The previous Fall he dug
holes as large as a barrel in the field
at the right distance for the melons,
and filed them nearly full of corn
cobs.
They were left open through the
winter. and in the Spring he shoveled
back a foot of good soil and planted
the melon seeds. The vines grew Wig
orously and produced abundantly.
Frequent examination showed that
the bed of corn cobs always contained
plenty of moisture, even when the sur
rounding soil was quite dry.
