sodden with drink he becomes a
muddled. drooling idiot.
Alcohol IL by no means the only
poison that can accomplish such an
unfortunate change in the thinking
organ: Pus absorption, the action OF
poisons developed by germs and their
destructive or disturbing effect upon
the brain. are facts well recognized
by the scientific world.
Unfortunately, the changes in the
brain substance may have been so
pronounced as TO undermine per-
m~anently the reason. But the major
tty OF mental disturbances are func-
tional. just as the passing effects Of
drunkenness are functional.
BY this Imean that the brain cells
and brain substance are not de-
stroyed. But like the tangling OF the
telephone wires. the brain machinery
10 short circuited. so 10 speak.
When the source OF the agent that
Is interfering with normal action is
found and dealt with. when the
tangle is removed. the brain IS re-
properly. The mind becomes ra-
tional. Sanity takes the place OF
insanity.
There are plenty OF mind dis.
turbances which are a long way
short OF insanity. Mental depres-
sion. gloominess, g~rouchiness. the
blue Monday" feeling-you know
them all-these are symptoms OF
temporary III health OF the brain.
O~vereating. overwork, loss OF sleep.
neglect OF the bowels. fever from
any cause-these are some OF the
causes OF sluggish thought or failure
OF good nature. Your brain isn't
well nourished and properly cleansed.
There Is no greater atfliction than
insanity. even in the mildest forms.
In most instances IL IS a prevent
able condition. The surest way TO
have a clear mind and normal think
ing machinery IL TO keep well.
The doctor ! quoted gave invalu-
able advice when he said: "To keep
your mind well. watch your health"

ACCIDENT REPORTING COM
PULSORY IN PENNSYLVANIA

Although the Vehicle Code OF
Pennsylvania, in effect since Janu-
airy l, provides for the reporting
of all accidents involving personal
injury, or property damage to an
apparent extent of $50, there ap-
pears to be general misunderstand-
ing of this clause by the motoring
public, according to a statement
by the Delaware Automobile AssO-
citation, A. M. A. 18th and West
streets.
I'VE are advised" says the state
ment, "by the Department of High
ways that very few motorists know
" hat is expected of them with re-
spect to reporting accidents. Every
day letters are sent by the depart
ment to persons who failed to re-
port mishaps, only to be informed
they had no knowledge of the laws
requirement. Thus far the depart
ment has been lenient, but it feels
that sufficient time has elapsed for
all motor car owners to be acquaint-
ed with the provisions of the We
hicle Code, and in the future mo-
torists who neglect to make reports
may face prosecution. The penalty
for violation of the reporting pro-
vision is $40 fine or not more than
five days in Jail"
Section 1880 of the Vehicle Code
provides:
The operator of any motor vehicle
involved in an accident, resulting
in injuries or death to any person,
or property damage to an apparent
extent of fifty ($5O) or more. shall,
within twenty-fOur hours, forward a
report of such accident to the de-
partment (Of highways), except
that, when such accident occurs
within an incorporated city or
town, such report shall be made
within twenty-four hours to the
police headquarters in such city or
town. Every police department
shall forward a copy of every such
report so filed with it to the de-
partment.
In cases where the original re-
port is insufficient in the opinion of
Ihe department, motorists or police
bureaus may be required to file
reports. Such report
shall be for the information of the
only and shall not be
open to public inspection No part
Of any such report or any state
Dent contained therein shall be ad-
in evidence in any pro-
oeeding arising from accidents.

LOCAL SOY BEAN
SEED IN DEMAND

Delaware farmers, who go in for
raising soy beans are realizing more
money from them this year than
they did last year. This season, they
are receiving $16O for their seed
soy beans.
There are many states where soy
beans are raised, where it is not
possible to raise seed. All they can
do because of the late planting and
early frost, is to produce crop.
For that reason States, such as this,
where the growing season is longer
are the states that have to be lie
pended upon for seed soy beans. Del
aware's chief competitors in seed
stock are Iowa and Missouri.

FAMILY BUDGET SHOULD CARE
FOR UNEXPECTED EXPENSES

A great deal of worry over what
seem to be unexpected" household
expenses could be forestalled il
some recognition were made of them
in the annual budget. Sickness, new
clothing needed, requirements OF
furnishings, repairs to the car, en-
tertaining, and obligatory gifts are
among the commonest of the sup
posedly unpredictable expenses tnat
often upset the budget.
The exact cost of medical care
will, of course, be unknown, but il
an average of several years back be
taken. a tentative monthly allow
ance can be assigned for health. "
If this is left to accumulate when
unusued, the visitors of the doctor
need not cause financial consterna-
ton. A definite SUM, not to be ex-
ceeded, can be allowed each one in
the family for clothing. This will be
as generous or as small as previous
experience has indicated to be nee
essary. The purchase of the more
expensive articles like coats and
suits can be planned for the months
that are otherwise least heavily bur
dened. Similarly, the cost Of run
ming a car for year can be estl-
mated and distributed. Limited al
Iowances for gifts, vacations, and
entertaining can be made, provided
the members of the family cooper
ate in adhering to them.
The Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture suggests a good way to
make a plan for a yearly budget.
Use a large double sheet of paper,
dividing it into 13 vertical columns,
one for listing the 10 usual groups
of expenditure-fOOd, housing, Op-
Grating, furnishing and equipment,
clothing, health, development, per
sonal, automobile, and savings-and
one for each month of the year in
which to enter estimates of eXpendi-
lures in each one of these groups.
The bureau will be glad to send you
a detailed list of what may be in
cluded under each head, though the
needs of every home are different.
Certain fixed expenses, like pay
ments on a house, insurance prem
iums, telephone bills, and many
others occur regularly in all months
or certain months. Set them down in
the proper columns. Divide your an
nual allowances for other eXpendi-
lures in the same way, estimating
them as best you can by what that
of living cost you last
year if you kept a record. This an
nual spending plan, when complete
ly filled in, will have to be adjusted
to the monthly income. Very often
the first plan exceeds the actual in
come and has to be pruned down un- !
til your estimate fits what you will
have to spend. If you have never
kept household accounts, you will
have to guess to some extent. Often
after careful spending records have
been kept for a month, you can
make a plan for the coming year. /
