FEBRUARY 2S. 1914 CcxsCMIte [fwropfce] Miss Bunny Moots Is I cam In* a trade preparatory t* her marriage next June. Mrs. Ijafe Hud spoke to her milkman tli* other afternoon on til* street, an' he saUl, ''Excuse me, but, but you've got th* best o* me.** With the snowfall of Wednes day the groundhog has been and gone and made himself a repu tation as prophet that it will take a generation of false pre dictions to dim the luster of. Legislation imposing a prohi bitive tax on the labor agent but designed "primarily to keep the negro in the South will, in the opinion of The Advance, tend to have exactly the oppo site effect from that which is intended. It creates an impres siop, on the part of the negro, that the state in which he hap pens to live is trying to keep him from finding out about a good thing. \ Is The Advance Blind? With no inclination to butt in on a Camden quarrel, The Ad vance can not help wondering what can be the ground for op position to the Belcross route on the part of the Shiloh mem ber of the Camden County Highway Commission. The position of the South Mills member of the commis sion is understandable. Therp is only so much money for each county, and it is easily possible that the thought may occur to one primarily interested in the development of the State high way through South Mills town ship that, if no paving is done in the lower part of the county, funds intended for project 111 may be diverted to the State road in South Mills township. But why Shiloh votes with South Mills on a project ofcthis sort, the Advance confesses it self totally unable to compre hend. It is suggested, it is true, thnt a ground for objection to the Belcross route is the fact that providing the State a right-of way for this highway would saddle upon the tax payers of Camden County a burden of $10,000, when by going by way of another route the right-of way could be secured practically without cost. That argument might have applied before the NORFOLK PRODUCE At Jarvli A fMtrm snCNClt-HOM.mVFMj CO. ? L1t?

Incidentally, too, The Ad vance might say that on infor mation it believes reliable it is persuaded that the cost of ac quiring the Belcross right-of way would hardly be more than $5,000, as practically only 40 per cent of it would have to be condemned. But we have let the $10,000 figure stand without challenge for argu ment's sake. PROBLEMS OF CONDUCT By ProfcMior Dick Calkins What's Wrong Here? Study the .picture before you read the answer.

Capital Compromise Capital Compromise It's a poor sport who won't meet you half way, as the dealer remarks when he finally consents to allow {128 on the old bus you had decided t a turn in at *850, and some equit able compromise should compose the differences ? to give 'em a polite name ? which agitate the atmos phere so often these days when folks who want fresh air are inconsider ately housed together with folks who don't. The dilemma Is a conventional two horned affair: Is it a draft? And anyhow doesn't it endanger life and limb? Taking one horn at a time, and that must be the left, you' Bee. you are pretty certain tc lose your hold and let the dilemma get away from you no matter how firmly you grasp the darned thing. The main trouble with a draft is that, like the socalled "cold'' if or when you've trapped it you discover; that it Isn't one at all. No two in dividuals have ever been known to agree precisely upcrn a definition fori a draft or a "cold." That's the beauty of thpse ideas for debating purposes? It is impossible to corner an oppon nt. That comparatively admirable hy- 1 glenist, author, and I think author ity. Rosennu. In his "Preventive; Medicine and Hygiene" (Appleton,) | page 893. make* a brave attempt to] define drafts, beginning about where; our gorod friend Dr. .Noah Webster leaves off. Webster wisely observe that a draft is a current of air and washes his hands of the matter. Dr. Rosennu tells us that when a cur rent of air at the temperature of 5f> to 60 degrees F. moves at the rate of one mile an hpur, there Is no per ceptible draft. This might seem like shAVlng a fine point, but to clarify the argument further I will suggest that we omit the word perceptible and then we'll get better sense out of It. Then Dr. Rosenau (who Is professor and director of tbe school of public health at Harvard) elabo rates to this effect: Air moving at 1.5 feet per second (one mile an hour) ? Imperceptible. Air moving 2.5 feet per second (1.7 mile* an hour) ? barely percep ?4W?. ? , v : : Air moving 3.0 feet per second (2.0 miles an hour)' ? perceptible. Air moving J. 5 feet per second (2.3 miles an hour) ? draft. Ho you see, even Dr. Roaenau. palnstnkin* and precise man of sclcncp tho ho b?. succeeds only In confusing the Issue. for hi* dearrlp tlpn of these degrees of perceptibili ty Implies that an air current may he perceptible yet not a full fledge^ draft. That'll what I think, too. only more ao. I look* upon Roaenau'a textbook as one or the top ahelf rlasalca. Indeed. It It the authorlta ttye work on the subject, but as foregoing shows, the poor man la aa partly confused on the draft and "cold" qaestlon as any mere lay man could be. But take my advice, lay folk, and let this dilemma alone. When tha thing Invades yoor of flea, shop of I home do not get excited ad quarrel over it. Let the open window en thusiasts and the closed window bonelieads contribute each a part of the price of some cloth window screen, set the ?creens in the win- j dow, and everybody get bad* TO 4 work satisfied, for this compromise does solve the problem. The un bleached muslin admits fresh air and light and excludes everything ielse except burglars. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ? Excellent Excuse for Health Exam. | Kindly give me a little infcrrma tion about cancer. 1 am nearly 30 yt-ars old and for several years I have worn a tight brassiere. Lately, 1 have occasional sharp pains thru the breast and I am frightened. There is no swelling or lump, but just a rather knifelike pain once in a While. Have I cause for alarm? (L. U. M.) Answer. ? Cancer is uncommon at 30 but sometimes occurs even ear lier. Such a pain, without swelling or lump, Is probably nort a serious matter. In most cases actual can cer tnero is no pain in the earlier stage. But you're old enough now to have good sense and undergo an annual health examination, and the doctor will advise you whether your trouble Is slglflcant. Another of Those Flats I am the mother of two children aged 1 year and 2H years. We re [ cently moved Into a flat and found it to be very damp. As I have some lung trouble, also chronic bronchitis, ? I wonder If this dampness will <pake my condition wcrrse ... .Or if it will | harm the children .a.. (Mrs. M. J, IV.) Answer.-*? ! do not think It will. The dampness may be a source of discomfort and annoyance but It i will not Injure health. Developing the Calve* I am plump, except .from my knees down my logs are no skinny, la there any exercise or anything I can do to make my legs larger? (I- A.) Answer. ? -Ballet or toe dancing Is an excellent exercise to develop the calves. Shrinking FaM I have been reducing at the rate j of three pound* a week .by having i one Karell day each week and sub slltntlng fruit for one meal every day. I have also cut out all candy. Hut I find my face looks somewhat I drawn and wrinkled. Tho t feel wonderfully well, lome people say I will look lota older If I try to re duce at my age. Answer. ? Fat deposits melting away perhaps a little faster than skin can accommodate Itself. Ad vise cheer up, let friends enjoy sour grapes, and try to get In plenty of exercise every day.
