APPEL EXPLAINS RIMWiS ON MILK
Harrisburg, — The State Depart¬ ment of Health has been reoelvlnf a number of letters (rom nilUc pro* ducera In vartous sectlona ot tbe State Indicating a mlaeonoeptton of the purpoae o( the milk laws as en* foreed by thc Department of Haalth.
"Theae Uwa," said Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secietary of Health, today, "were approved for the purpoae of protecting the pubUe health. It waa not Intended to Interfere with private Uidustries or to eliminate the possibility of local farmers disposing of theh- product In the neighbor* hood. While in effect a number of fanners have been prohibited in seUlng raw milk from non-tuberculin tested cattle, the prohibition decid¬ edly is not an economic one.
"Permits to sell milk are issued without cost to all milk producers! meeting the sanitary regulations. | These involve, among others, thatt raw milk must come from tubercu-1 liu tested cattle. Producers of any kind of milk must have a milk I house on the premises, cleansing! facilities and bottUng equipment so that caps may be applied mechan- I -aUy.
"While it is realiaed that there may be a number of smaU farmers to whom such regulations may cause hardships, the health of the pubUc is paramount and therefore the smaU dealer, as weU as the large I producer. Is held equal In the eyes of the Uw.
"The Department of Health al¬ waya has been and wwill continue to be most sympathetic with the farmer and rural dweller In every phase of economic activity affecting the public health in which he en¬ gages. But the risk Is entirely too great to permit any individual to produce and seU miUc even among a small number of neighbors imless the regulations adopted to protect the public are recognised. Theae regulations, drawn under authority of leglfilatlve acts by the Advisory Health Board, represent careful study of the issues involved. How- ever, they are subject to change at any time within the limitations of the basic laws passed by the legis¬ lature. Constructive requests for amendments always will receive careful attention."

The regular routine of business fol¬ lowed. All committees reported. Bills for the month were read by the secretary and in order for motion for payment, when councilman Kortz questioned the legality of passing a few of them for payment. Mr. Kortz based iius question, relative to the passing for payment a certain few of the bills pre.sented. on the grounds of Aniclf- LUI. found on page 393 of The Laws of P-nnsylvania enact¬ ed in regular and special session of the Legislature (in 1931), which read.s, in part:
"It .shall not be lawful for any burgess, or member of council of any borough, or any officer agent, or em¬ ploye thereof, to be In any way in¬ terested, either directly or indirectly, in any contract for the sale or furn¬ ishing of any supplies or materials to be furnished to or for the use of such borough involving the expenditure by the borough of more than ten dollars in any year, or to receive any

However, whtia the borough fathers further dlscuMn ed the construction of this act ana its Interpretation. Secretary C.

Industry's .stockholders, bondhold¬ ers and securities .suffered equally as much as the others' during the de¬ pression, but the go\'emment has not .seen fit to grant Industrv an RFC.

Harrisburg— Leon D. Metzger, SecreUry of Revenue, today said pedestriana unneceaaarUy Increaae the accident odda against them by their faUure to exercise reasonable good Judgment and caution.
"As long as motorists and pedes¬ trians have occaaion to use the aame thoroughfaraa there wUl be accidents InvolvUiff the two, and It U equally certaUi that as long as pedestrUuu fail to foUow even the simplest rules for tbeir own safety theM accidents arlli be especiaUy numerous," SecreUry Metager said.
"Take, for instance, the simple matter of crossinc at street inter¬ sections protected with signals. Accident records show that by the too-frequent practice of disregard¬ ing such signals the pedeatrUn au¬ tomatically increases four times the odds against him. [
At Croasings
"Last year 183 pedestrians were in¬ jured, three fatally, while crossing with the signal at such intersec¬ tions. On the other hand, 656 were injured—and the fatalities leaped to 27— while crossing against the signal. In two months this year twentv-eight persons were injured, two fatally crossing w:•,.^l the signal while 137 were injured, six fatally, while cro.ssing against the signal.
"In other words, pedestrians who flaunted the signals simply piled up the odds against them and. m ef¬ fect, deliberately assumed respon- sibilitv for the increased danger they incurred.
"The same situaticm exists in the rural districts where accident statis¬ tics emphasize the danger of walk¬ ing along a highway with, rather than against, the traffic. Recent statistics show that the pedestrian who turns his back to automobiles instantly doubles the accident odds against him. Last year 430 pedes¬ trians were Uijured and eight-flve were killed while walking on rural roads with their backs to traffic. These totals are twice as large as those in cases where the pedestrian used forethought and walked facing oncoming traffic. In the latter t^~>' of a.ccident 229 pedestrian^ wero in¬ jured and 58 killed.
Facing Trsiric In this connection it - worth while to note that safef r-gula- tlons which direct pedestrli-.s to walk along the left side of tiv^ riad. facing traffic, dictate that pr ced- ure so that the man on fo not only can see cars approaching ;m but can. if necessary, step ou- f the way if the motorist does not "^ him or cannot change his cour-^ r.ipidly enough. The full effect '. this safety meaaure Is lost if pedes¬ trians .simply walk facing traffic and make no other effort to a\-iod an accident.
"In  this situation  there  are fre¬ quently conditions where the pedes-' trian commands a lietter view than the motorist of the Impending dan¬ ger.     This is particularly true when two cars pa.is at night or in foggy' or   rainy weather.     At  such   times' a   -spiLsible   pedestrian   will   lose  no time  in  giving space for   two-way trafBc."
EVERY DAY
Every day!
In tho.se two words ilea the secret of all attainment.
It's not what we do once, with all our hearts, and with every splendid ounce of strength, that counts, so much as the things we've been doing every day, whether we felt Uke it or not.
Every day! ThereUi ta mas¬ tery. The marvelous, velvet, utterly exqulste beauty of such piano-playing aa Padere* wskl's, or such vioUn perform* ance as Maud PoweU's — It looks spontaneous, but It ia the result of nuny a hateful day's laborious routine.
Every day! That is the road to perfection. The speaker who can hold and charm an audience, the debater quick and ready and not to be eon- fused, the baaebaU*pUyer. tho wooun always socially at ease —everybody, hi fact, that ean do anythint w«U owea that poiae and flnlab to tbe alow •fforta ot every day.
No matter how gifted an actor, how naturally endowed, he cannot be a master with¬ out inflnlte practise.
Young people do not reallae the tremendous cumulative power that lies In time. Take ten years.   Say you are twenty.
By the time you are thirty what enormous efficiency you might buUd up if you would only use every day a certain
amount of time.
Almast everybody wastes enough hours in ten years to get a doctor's degree in any university.
In ten years you might be speaking and reading fluently Spanish or French or Japanese. you might be an authority up¬ on geology, botany, chenUstry, EnglLsh literature, history, or whatever flts your ambition. If only you would be faithful every day.
Every day! The universe is constructed on routine. The sun rises every day, the stars revolve, the seasons come and go by schedule, your heart beats and your lungs flU and empty as regularly aa the clock ticks, every generation of men or of animala is ttaa result of numberless preceding fener¬ ations, over and over again Nature tries her hand, and ber matchless perfection la only the stored-up treasure of endless practise.
And in character every day means even more tluui any¬ where else. The most honest man is the man who has been honest every day; the most \ irtuous woman is she who bas behind her present virtue the iner- a of a whole life full of v;rt'i"us thought and deed; the happiest person is the one Who has long practLied being happy, and the .soul Is coolest and ."surest in a crisis who every day has schooled himself In aelf- mastery.
No force is so great In any man  as the  stored-up of   what   he   has  been every day.
