a delicious and wholesome food
and the many ways in which it
may be used in the daily diet
will be emphasized during that
period by exhibitors and various
other ways. According to the
food and health specialists, it is
one of the most healthful and
wholesome forms of sweets

used to supply large percent
age of the need for that kind
OF matrial in the daily diet.
Menus featuring a wide
variety of honey dishes have

Doctor Reed points out, if the seats
are upholstered in a fabric like mo-
hair velvet or velmo, the fibers of
which grip the clothing, giving support
to the occupant of the seat and reduc-
ing the tendency to slip and slide.
One of the most common faults in
driving, Doctor Reed explains, is to
slump down in the seat. This is easy
to do if the upholstery is slippery but
not so likely to happen on mohair. In
a slumped position, the motOrist can
not quickly respond when an emer-
gency demands quick operation Of the

cramped, the lungs do not have an op-
portunity to expand and other internal
organs are restricted. Most important

Here are Doctor Reeds posture sug-
gestions, especially helpful during
these vacation months when long au-
tomobile drives are taxing the endur-
ance of the motorist. Have the back
well against the back of the seat with
the weight resting mainly on the seat
bones. There should be support for
the back at point below the shoulder
blades and at the top of the hips. Do
not recline too much, slightly more
than ninety degrees is enough and
there should be no weight or pressure
under the knees. The feet should be
able to reach the pedals and the floor

FILLING DAM AT SAFE
HARBOR
New Lake FOrming-ReservOir
Will ImpOund 5,5OO,OOO,OOO
Cubic Feet

The Safe Harbor Water Power Cor.
poration has begun to fill the reservoir
behind the dam which has been built
for the new hydro electric develop
ment at this point.
The dam and power house extend
nearly a mile from the Lancaster to
the York County, Pa, shores of Sus-
quehanna River. Behind this concrete
barrier will form one of the largest
lakes in Pennsylvania. The waters
will back up nearly to the new Column
bia- Wrightsville bridge, which is about
ten miles above Safe Harbor. The lake
will have an area of more than ten
square miles and the volume of water
to be impounded will be over five and
one-half billion cubic feet.
The rate of filling the pond will de-
pend on river flow. So great is the
capacity of the reservoir that at the
present stage of the river it would
require about three weeks to fill it even
if all the waterwere impounded, but be-
cause of the hydro elec trio develop
ments on The river below Safe Harbor
and the fact that the Safe Harbor
turbines are not yet ready for opera
ton the filling period will be prolonged
by occasionally opening the head gates
in the intakes for future units. Be-
fore the reservoir has been completely
filled some of the stored water may be
dircharged for the operation of the
hydro-electric developments down
stream In this manner water will be
stored during the next two weeks
which can be released for use at the
lower plants during the heavy peak
loads which occur later in the fall.
The Safe Harbor dam is built in two
spillway sections and three nonover-
flow sections, Thirty-two gates-each
IS feet high and 4S feet wide and
weighing 50 1-2 tons-close the spill
way openings. Two 150-ton cranes
are in operation to lower or raise these
gates as the river flow requires. The
thirty-two gates can discharge one
million cubic feet of water per second.

MOHAIR AN AID
TO SAFE DRIVING
Scientist of University Tells
How Pile Surface Keeps
You From 'Slumping.'

In the last eighteen months, more
persons have been killed in automo-.
bile accidents in the United States
than our country's army lost in sol
diers during the World wari This is
an alarming fact which is receiving
the careful attention Of public officials
everywhere and challenges the thought
and action of every citizen. What can
be done to reduce this huge death
toll?
Safety measures are being effective
ly applied in many ways but the prob
lem rests largely with the automobile
driver. What can he do to further
protect himself and others from acct
dents? Helpful suggestions in this con-
nection have just been offered by DIR.
Dudley B. Reed. professor of hygiene
and director Of the health service of
the University of Chicago.
Doctor Reed calls attention to the
fact that sitting properly while driv-
ing is not only an aid to the persons
health but it is direct help to safety
as 1t places the body where immediate
response in emergencies is easier.
where fatigue that too often promotes
carelessness is prevented, and where
the drivers vision is least likely to be
obscured. It is not difficult to assume
the correct driving position but it is
sometimes hard to keep such posture,
covered with material that encour-
ages slipping and sliding about. These
difficulties. are more easily avoided.

JOIN THE RED CROSS
MEMBERSHIP

The annual roll call of the
Red Cross, opening Armistice
Day, was given a hearty en-
dorsement by Rt. Rev. Michael
J. Curley, Archbishop of Balti-
more, and a member of the Red
Cross board of incorporators.
He urged all people to give
generously for the Red Cross
work. The Archbishop's state
ment follows:
"The American Red Cross
needs no commentator from
me. The record of it's achieve
ments is written into the story
of our nation and finds echo in
the history of every land
whence came to the organiza-
ton a Macedonian cry for help.
For the one critic of the Red
Cross, there are ten thousand
friends. 1t is the voice Of the
kindly soul of our nation. If
ever through want of coopera-
ton of the part of the people of
this country that voice should
be stilled, then I do not have to
lay claim to any prophetic
power to be able to assert en-
phatically that it will not be
we'll for the country that we
profess to love. appeal to all
the people, regardless of their
political or religious affiliation,
to give generously of their
means to the Red Cross work."

individuals wishing to do
trimming of roadside trees or
street trees in towns, should
get in touch with their local

Murray To Lift

OKLAHOMA CITY. Oct. 8. up
Oklahoma's great economic expert
ment-military shutdown of flush
oil fields in an effort to force crude
oil prices to a profitable level, will
come to an end at 7 a. m. tomor-

cree, was announced today by Lieut..

out withdrawal of the military jur-
isdiction, will be without the i'm

Arliss Splendid
I'm Latest Film

Supported by a cast which con-
tains many famous screen stars,
George Arliss, peer of dramatic ac-
tors, scores a distinct triumph in
Alexander Hamilton" which will
be shown for the last two times to-
night at FoX Imperial Theatre.
Critics have pronounced it the
type of play which should be fol-
lowed by many others, depicting as
il does, romantic events in the his
tory of the United States. Hamil-
ton, as revealed in American history
books, is a different Hamilton from
the character revealed on the screen.
and he is equally admirable in both.
Arliss does splendid work in giv-
ing a faithful portrayal of the Am
erican patriot. It is odd that an
English actor should portray such
a role, but on the other hand, Ham
ilton was born in Bermuda and like
other Revolutionary patriots, was
loyal to the mother country until
the break came over the colonies.
Doris Kenyon, June Collyer, Alan
MoWbray,- Montague Love, and
numerous others are seen in support
of Arliss.
