Among the boys and girls from
the New Hope vicinity of Bucks
county who are in attendance at
colleges and universities through
out the state, those from the Penn
sylvania State College will probably
be the first to return home for the
annual Christmas vacation. The
Penn State vacation will start with
the close of classes on Friday of
this week and most of the local
students will reach home by Sat
urday.
Among the students from this vi
cinity are L. E. Hartwell, New

burg; Miss Gladys L. Hates and /
S. Tomlinson, Lahaska; I. ]. Bar
Der, New Britain; Miss Agnes S

P. w. Humid, Wrightstown.
In order to allow opportunity fol
many Penn State students to carr
necessary funds by working during
the holidays, the college authorities
have this year granted one of thu
longest vacations in the history o.
the institution. Glasses will not re
sumo until Tuesday morning, Jan
uary 6, giving the students seven
teen days Of vacation.
However, Penn State did not fol
low the example Of many college
in granting almost week of va
cation at Thanksgiving, but confine
that holiday to a single day. Be
cause of this. it is possible to ex
tend the Christmas vacation with
out interfering with the teaching

HUBBY'S DOLLARS
OFTEN WASTED BY
CARELESS SHOPPING

How about it housewives, are
YOU being honest partners with your
husbands when you purchase labor
md time-saving equipment and then
70 not use it for saving your time
md labor? This is the question ask
ed by Mrs. Marion c. Bell, specialist
IN home management at the New
Jersey State College Of Agriculture
New Brunswick.
In speaking of wasteful buying
Mrs. Bell continues: 1--WE visit in
many homes where women show as
with pride their new purchases
the wheel tray, the fireless cooker,
the dish washer, the dress form, and
many other household accessories.
When we return some months or
year later, we find the wheel
ray either in use in the kitchen as
/ resting place for equipment or in
use az decorative piece in the
dining room, the freless cooker nice
y cleaned and waiting for winter to
ONE when the cereal will be cooked
a It, the dish drainer hanging idle
N a hook and the dress form care
ally covered from the dust of the
attic. What is the matter?
money was taken from the fam
ily's yearly income to make these
purchases. II the equipment was not
needed was the housewife honest to
her family in cutting down the
budget by this amount, whether
large or small?
unused equipment represents
waste waste of the woman's time
and energy when she went shop
ping for it--waste Of money that
might have been used to better adj
vantage or, If not spent, left to
| draw interest for time when it
was really needed. Then, too, has
the woman not wasted her hus-
bands time and energy? He spent
his days earning the cash that paid
for this unused equipment. Think 1t
over housewives and give your hus-
bands square deal. =

TOWNSHIP ROADS IN WINTER

Criticism directed at the road SUI
pervisors of the Township is often
merited, But it occurs to us that
the people themselves might oft
itimes save road job by getting
out of their vehicle or car and
remove that broken branch or cast
away a misplaced stone, or dump
some refuse fodder or turf in a
growing rut. Or promptly notifying
the road people of breaks, washes
or loose boards on bridgeways. Our
road men have many miles of road
TO keep in repair and we are sure
there is not supervisor but who
will give attention to road defects,
if notice is called thereto.

field stone spring house on the pro-
perty antedates the house, for it was
built when the first farm house was
built of logs. The log house was
succeeded by a field stone building
which now comprises the easterlv
end of the house. Two ad ions
were subsequently built, the westcr-
ly end being the latest.
Considerable labor and pa%ence
have been expended in restoring the
house to its original condition. Many
coats of paint had to be removed
in order t get down to the wood
and original colorings. The panel
work in the middle section of the
house was originally painted a light
blue. But over this there had been
painted many coats of different col
ored paints. These later coats were
painstakingly removed with a torch
and scraper, leaving the original
blue. Time has mellowed this until
it is very attractive. The exposed
ceiling beams in the older section
of the house were completely clean
ed, then stained and rubbed down.
Mrs. Reckless has spent consider
able time it acquiring furniture Of
the period in order to furnish the
house in keeping with the architec-
ture. The old fire places have been
restored to their original condition,
and the effect turnout is so pleas
ing as to convince the modern mind
that our forefathers knew more
about building and furnishing homes
to create that "homey atmosphere"
than is known today.
In keeping with the architecture
of the house, old flag stone walks
are being laid about the yard, and
shrubbery has been set out for
landscape effects. Mr.. Reckless. who
is an artist, is having the barn re-
modelled into a studio. This is also
of field stone, and will be finished
in keeping with the house.

Of coal company bond issues are
little opportunity Of studying this
particular type Of investment, 1t
was pointed out today.
Although in the industrial class.
coal issues possess certain features
q sound security. More than Ia anv
other industry It Is important that
the lender il protected against de-
pletion~ Of property, caused by the
general removal Of coal.
AS is the case In other Industrial
flotations. the borrower IL usually
required to create q sinking fund
to be built up by annual install
ments large enough to pay off the
loan at maturity. But in the mat
ter Of bonds issued against coal
lands the possibility exists that
through active mining more coal is
taken out than 10 represented by
corresponding sinking fund pay
ments.
To provide against the danger of
the removal Of coal at too ranid
pace and subsequent disproportion-
ate depreciation in value Of the
property, an arrangement IN usually
made whereby the borrower agrees
not only to met the regular anncal'
sinking fund rQuirement, but, also
to set aside as sinking fund y
certain amount for every ton Of
coal mined.
In the case Of the West KeIl-
lucky Coal Company. whose b Inds
ave been recently placed on the
market, sum Of 10 cents was
agreed upon as an extra protection
to bond holders.
