A Driver, Liquor and the Law JCDGE Harvey Whitehead, of Lycoming county. In sentencing a defendant, in court the other day for driving an automobile while intoxicated, stated that an operator of a motor vehicle does not necessarily have to be intoxicated to be guilty of violation of the law.
He jcon- tlnued by stating that the lan- specifies the driver must not be "under the influence of liquor." One drink, the court suid. might cause a driver to be slower In thinking and acting and would therefore cause a man to be under the Influence which is a violation of the state law. Judge Whitehead further stated that a man is under the Influence of anything that changes him from a normal condition even in the slightest degree and that one drink may influence the driver of a car.

Good Morning- ANY Altoonans remember Prof.
George M. Sutton, who so de lightfully addressed members of the Blair County Fish, Game and Fores try Association at their annual ban quet last winter as well as the scholars of the local high school and schools in Juniata. Prof. Sutton is an outdoor man and a learned student and authority on birdlore. At the present time he Is engaged In a study of fall bird life In Pymatunlng Swamp.
He is chief of the educational service of the Pennsylvania State Game Commission nd his findings will bring rare information to all lovers of the outdoors. Uecentlv, in a little magazine "The Hay Rake" Mr. Sutton painted a beautiful word picture of swamp life. Would you like to read it? It is entitled "The Marsh Harriers of The morning is misty blue in Pymatunlng. The frinues of alders and tamaracks lend a purple tone as tne vapors swing mujestlcally about them.
The rank'vegetation sags with its burden of heavy dew, and amldvt the murmurs of a thousand waking things we can hear water as it drops from the edges' of the spatterdock leaves and drooping cat-talU tips into the quiet of the marsh. Field mice tout tie about, pausing here and there to wipe their whiskers with their feet. A muskrat. nuiet as a shaft of light, moves across a water way trailing two long waves behind him. His mouth is full of grass.
Red-winged blackbirds are perched on the last year's cut-tail stalks, preening their glossy plumage and chasing about, trying to find cause for combat when the whole world wishes to be peaceful. Those gorgeous redwings captains of the cat-tall marsh! When the sun awakes, how silver and golden the wild marsh becomes. And the vapors glow as they rise and sail away, it is a land of supernal beauty! A thousand tiny hearty are glad that it Is morning. Suddenly a red-wing shouts a loud call of warning, and the chatter of the wild things hushes strangely. It Is the Harrier! Slowly, In irregular circles, swinging low over the a Id era he comes a great-pale gray bird of prey so pearly and radiant that it seems to have been made of vapors and light.
His long tail is barred with dark gray and his wing tips are black. On his lower back is a patch of pure white that shines like a beacon, ven when he Is far away. As he approaches two red-wings. glad to find excuse for a siege slip up behind tne Harrier and, screaming at the tops of their voices, plunue at him. silently the big creature moves forward, dodging the onslaughts gracefully, unswerving from his pur pose; for the Harrier is hunting.
As the gray hawk beats his way above an open avenue in the cat-tails, he suddenly halts, and so quickly that we cringe at the equillne move ment, he hurls himself toward the ground. There is a rustle of the dead cat-tail stalks as the yellow claws grip tighter, and a tiny voice squeaks so faintly that we can hardly hear it. But the red-wings are silent, fur they know that the Harrier is a killer. The big hawk eats part of the field mouse as he stands among the cat tails. He finishes his meal later, however, after flapping up to a dead willow stub, his mangled prey dangl ed from one slender talon.
His meal finished, he wipes bill, puffs out his pelly feathers and basks in the sunshine. But his eyes never cease from their are pale golden lanterns that burn brightly. When the big brown mate of the Harrier sweeps by the thoughts of our hero turn to love-making and he joins her calling in shrill, shrill tones which are rapidly repeated. She responds in her way and they circle about in the sunlight happy that they can live and hunt together. The gray male bird is smaller than his brown mate but they both have white spots on their brown backs.
The pale gray bird seems to go crazy. What can have happened we do not know although the brown mate looks on placidly enough. The Harrier is looping the loop screaming like one demented all the while. How madly he careens about, swooping ward the earth in a seml-circie and then heading straight for the sky, suddenly flopping over backwards to swoop once more toward his' mate. Six, eight, a dozen times he swoops! No wonder that the sage scientist of olden times who discovered him named him CIRCUS! It is simply the Harrier's way of expressing his emotions.
The mate is rather pleased; but not hilariously so. She calls to him that she needs more breakfast, and they swing off together. for a sunny cove where mice and frogs are sure to be half asleep on the dry beds of moss and old cat-tail leaves. A red-wing mounts an alder; s-pray and gurgles and rhapsodizes, as he spreads his gay shoulders In the sun. Swamp sparrows chuckle and marsh wrens clatter, in a hundred places.
Morning is sweet again, for the Harriers are gone.

There will probably be a stiff contest in the poor directorship race in the county and in a number of dis- tricts the tiattie for nomination as school director will 'wax warm. Although the election is a local one it is most im- portant. It would be grievously unfortunate if the men and women of the county should regard this as an "off year" in politics and ignore the call of the voting booth today. A primary, which is to determine something about who are to administer the school and council-. manic affairs, a primary that will nominate candidates for the sheriff office, a primary that will move towards the election of directors of the poor and a county con-C'troiler and other offices offices which transact the busl- pess of the courts, look after the poor," take care ot our school affairs, cannot be of trivial importance to the people.
These are all Issues today. Sdranier weather lethargy and vacations are no excuse for alibis that will keep the good citizen away from the 1 polls. The mere fact that there are no stiff contests for some of the offices to be voted for today should not act as a deterrent and keep down the vote. There are Important contests, today, however. Ctood sense-and good citizenship dictate that serious attention be given to the balloting today.

POLITICS VOTERS today will nominate for the smaller offices. But one state office is to be nominated tor that of Superior Court judge, but there are many smaller judicial posts to nominate for and a long list of county, city, borough and township offices are to be contended for in today's balloting. Locally the election has peen quiet and the vote is not likely to be up to the standard because of the negligence on the part of citizens to register. The registration was considerably less than formerly, In spite of the fact that strenuous efforts were made to make It a large recounting. Senator George Wharton Pepper's reiteratiofl that he aspires to be renominated as the candidate- of all Pennsylvania Republicans and to be elected for the full term to uphold the hands of the President and maintain the Keystone State in Its present place in national affairs was the Outstanding feature ot the notable gathering of people from thirty-eight or forty counties at the reception given to the two United States senators by J.
O. Clark, former Indiana-Jefferson senator, at his game preserve in the wooded heights of the Alleghenies, Saturday, SHS the Harrisburg Telegraph. There was no making of slates for 1926 State honors. Booms were about, but not obtrusively. There was discussion of Governor Plnchot from the standpoint ot administration, anthracite and addresses, much talk of local contests arid comment upon the vagaries ot registration.
Formally, it was a very fine affair, with the social side much emphasized, a splendid entertainment, with mijch attention to comfort ot guests on a very hot day; informally, it was one ot the greatest opportunities for exchange of opinions, appraisal ot possible candidates for governor and forecasting of conditions, including euch things as extra sessions, tests of the gubernatorial power ot removal and so on. And full advantage was taken of it in the chairs under the pleasant shade of the trees. To a great extent the assemblage was a cross section of district and county men of weight who adhere to the groups in open advocacy of Senator Pepper, but people of other elements, and some Democrats, were also present, anp heartily welcomed. Senators rep per and Reed and Judge J. N.
Langham were Mr. Clark's guests pf honor, and with -Charles M. Schwab were the speakers after luncheon. Governor William C. Sproul, State Chairman W.
Harry Baker, W. Mellon, W. W. Atter-pury; Harry A. Mackey, Thomas Watson, Harry Bovard and many prominent Republicans, including most of the State Senate, were In the throngs.
Dinner Stories -a. A little son of Italy, twelve years old, came to his teacher In a New York public school and asked if he cuild not have his name changed. "Why do you want to change your name?" the teacher asked. "I want to be an American. I live in America now." "What American flame would you like?" "I have it here," he said, handing the teacher a dirty scrap of paper, on which was written, "Patrick Dennis McCarty." When David Lloyd George, ex-Brit ish premier, was a young country solicitor in Wales, he was riding home In his dog-cart one day and came upon a little Welsh girl trudging along so wearily that he offered her a ride.
She accepted silently, but all tne way aiong, aiuiougn ne tnea to engage her in-conversation, he could not get tier to say anytning more than a timid "Yes" or "No." Some days afterward the girl's mother happened to meet Lloyd George, and said to him smilingly, "Do you remember thauny little airl rode home with you a short time age?

ANOTHER EDITOR'S VIEWPOINT RURAL MAIL MAIL delivery has developed so rapidly in recent times that there is not much novelty in the announcement by the PostoRlce Department that before long the postman will travel to the door of every hou.se in the United Stater. The rural route has rapidly lengthened and multiplied, until already a good part of the country population is reached at least once day. But now, by a recent authorization of Congress and a lib eral ruling by the watchdog of the Treasury, Comptroller McCarl, it wi.I reach still farther and soon give practically universal service.
The horse has been the main drawback up till now. The rural route was limited to thirty-six miles and for a time the automobile route could not exceed fifty miles. Under the Post-ofticeAct of February 28 of this year it is ruled by General McCarl tha.t the department has a free hand and may rearrange the rural delivery routes in whatever way may seem best in order to cover the entire country. But all this is in prospect and not yet fulfilled and there still are elements of opposition in Congress to be However at no distant day we shall witness the truly remarkable achievement of a houae-to-hose mail delivery by the Government throughout the length and breadth and to every farthest nook and corner ot the republic something that has never been accomplished by any other nation since the world began. Philadelphia Ledger.
Off the Beaten Path THE oak trees of various kinds are generally covered with acorns this year, iitst year there were very few acorns, and in some sections thus little for the squirrels to feed, on, as by reason of the hickory, and chestnut trees having almost disappeared in many places, the squirrels nowadays feed mainly on acorns. The gray squirrel prefers pig nuts also known as white hickory to any other kind of nut. and the shellbark is second best. They are also very fond of chestnuts and beech nuts. But when these nuts are not to be found, they feed eagerly on acorns that Torm a very palatable and nutritious form of food.
Other nuts that they formerly fed on largely, the black and white walnut, have also become very scarce. Thus when the acorns are scarce, these little rodents have a hard, time procuring proper food. H. P. H.
