ly science has developed a Power
Prover. which quickly indicates
how much wasted fuel is pouring
from your exhaust pipe and wheth-
er your car is in the danger zone
of excessive carbon monoxide. A
tuning routine by specially devel-
oped equipment will eliminate this
danger.
Motorists are urged to have plen-
ty of fresh air in their cars at all
times. Ventilate enclosed cars from
the front, so there will be a flow
ing air current at all times. If a
driver develops drowsiness or a sud-
den headache, he should stop his
car for five minutes and fill his
lungs with fresh air. Do not hesi-
tate to do this, for carbon monox-
ide gives little warning, but strikes
as suddenly as a knockout blow
to the jaw.
Take proper precautions; check
your car at frequent intervals; tell
your friends of their worst driving
enemy-carbon monoxide!

Senior Dinner

Of diners in general it may be
said that nothing is more conducive
to good fellowship and neighborh-
ness than eating together. This is
especially true of the type Of COM
munity dinner so popular in Amer
lea, SO well served and supported in
this community.
Last year the Senior dinner was
given in the new cafeteria before
all the dishes and equipment had
arrived. Some delay in serving
guests resulted, but the smiling
good humor of the hungry ones
made light Of the difficulties. This
year there will be no such difficult
les. There are chairs, tables, sill
yer and dishes for over six hundred
people.
The Seniors, under the direction
of a faculty committee headed by
Mrs. Vogel, are preparing a menu
of variety sufficient to please all
tastes. The vast quantities of food
needed are being donated by the
students, their parents and friends,
and by friends of the school The
coffee, for instance, is being given
by Mr.. Moffitt, under whose expert
direction it is to be made.
The patrons of the dinner are
entitled to any or all items on the
bill of fare. There will be no addi-
tional charges except a nominal one
of ten cents for those who want ice
cream and home-baked cake.
Each person attending the dinner
is urged to have the counterat
dants place the items of his choice
upon his plate as he passes along
before the counter. For those who
are unable or unwilling to make
this selection there will be in at
tendance a corps of student wait
resses who will see that every want
is satisfied These mattresses will
keep all tables supplied with rolls,
butter, jelly, preserves, pickles,
relishes, coffee, cream, and sugar.
Their aim is to serve you.
The basketball game to be held
the same evening begins at eight
o'clock. Smyrna's teams have per
formed creditably this year, and
have deserved the support which
the people Of this community have
been giving them.
We hope to have you with US for
the evening.

Highway Safety Expert

THE average motorist, when re
minded of the dangers of car
bon monoxide, SCOTS and remarks
that he never starts his automo-
bile with his garage doors closed.
He does not realize that despite
good brakes, good tires, good mo-
tor, good driving, his life may be
in constant danger on the road be-
cause of carbon monoxide.
One in every ten accidents last
year occurred when cars drove off
the roadway. killing more than &c.
900 and injuring more than a mil
lion persons. Without doubt many
of these cars left the road because
the driver was stupefied by carbon
monoxide gas.
Odorless. colorless, deadly in in
credibly small quantities, this gas
seeps from poorly adjusted engines
and causes headaches, car sickness,
dangerous drowsiness. Fortunate

pear so quickly.
This can be done by a universal
effect in conserving and using what
is left for the best purpose; rebuild
ing where we have torn down; and
learning all that we can learn
about the facts of trees and for

We are the only nation in the
world without a national forest
policy. In France there is one
which provides for the use of con-
tinuous production. 1t restricts
cutting Of the trees and requires
replanting. Germany also has a
policy similar to this. Therefore
we need a national policy because
our future depends upon it.

OLD ACADEMY
MIDDLETOWN
Though Building Is Not Used
Its Board Continues to
Function
AID NEW SCHOOL THERE

Trustees of the Middletown
Academy have issued their finan-
cial report for last year. Although
the Old Academy is no longer used
as school building the board still
continues to function and has TAX
en- an active interest in the new
school and in the use of the old
grounds as a summer playground.
Motion picture machines costing
S684.65, a back stop for the ath-
letic field costing $257.62, and
drinking fountains costing S91. .28
were donated to the Middletown
schools during the year and show
ers were constructed on the play
ground, costing S143.27, with new
benches costing $50. This year
S62.99 has been spent in renovating
a room il the building for Troop
No. "a, Boy Scouts. The trustees
reorganized for 1886 by electing
the following officers: Jesse l..
Shepherd, president; pr. Warren
Combs, secretary and treasurer.
The other members are e IT. Shall
cross, J. f. Walls, E S. Jones and
Fred Brady. The Academy came
into existence January 81. 1924
112 years ago, by virtue Of an act
Of the Legislature The old act
contains details for the running of
a lottery to raise $4,000 with which
to build the school and directs that
it be sufficiently large to contain
rooms for an academy and for
elementary schools, and a room for
public worship, open to all Chris
tians. The next year another act
increased the amount of the lot
terry by $4,000 and further outlined
what the funds were to be expend-
ed for. On January 21, 1926, the
Legislature passed an act to incor-
porate the board and gave it per-
petual existance. The original act
made the board members and in
1929 increased this to z. In 1887
the public school buildings of this
district were in such poor condition
that the Academy Board granted
the use OF the Academy and dis
tricts No. "a and No so were con-
solidated, moving into the Acad-
emy which was used as the school
for this district until 1929 at which
time the modern school was built

Physical Drill to Aid
Millions Aim in Britain

London.-A scheme to keep mil
lions of men, women and children
well and happy by physical exer-
else in classes costing from to
10 cents each is being prepared by
hundreds of welfare and physical
culture organizations throughout
Britain.
Every village, small town and
city in the British Isles will be
brought within the scope of the
scheme.
1t owes its origin to the Cen
tral Council of Recreative Physical
Training, an unofficial voluntary
body supported by the board of ed
ucation.
A nationwide survey by the coun-
ell revealed that less than 13 per
cent of the population took part
in physical drill or games, and that
the system of physical drill for the
unemployed urgently needed reor-
ganization.

Popular Superstiti0ns

Superstitutions cause many peo-
pie, eduated as well as ignorant to
have many miserable and frightful
moments.
One of the most general super
stitions is the breath of a serpent,
lizard or dragon means death to
its victims. In Holland, roofs of
houses are erected to induce the
stork to build its nest as they are
believed to bring the children to
the homes. Eskimos are said to
bury a dog with a dead child be-
cause the dog may guide the child
to another world. Among the Ne
groes, if a rabbit crosses from left
to right, there will be good luck
The luck of finding a four-leaved-
clover is also general superstition
of the people probably because of
the occurrence of four leaves. 1t
is said if you make wish and then
put the four-leaved-clover in your
shoe, it will come true. There is a
belief that hidden springs and
water courses may be located by
means of a hazel or an apple twig.
If this twig is held firmly and hor-
izontally in the hand, it bends
downward when the person stands
over a vein of water.
One of the most well known su-
perstitions is the significance of
odd numbers. In China, pagodas
are built with an odd number of
stories for good luck
Of these superstitions, none are
true Yet, SO many people believe
in them that it is holding back the
progress of education
