ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
THEY BELONG TO THE “GENUS
SCIARA.—Last week the WATCHMAN
called attention to a plague of worms
which ‘have been bothering the good
women of Linn street the past fort-
night or more, and which they believed
to be army worms because of their crawl-
ing in snake-like, massed formation. To
find out just what the worms were
Miss Margaret H. Cook wrote to the
United States Department of Agriculture,
enclosing a sample of the worms and
the following is the reply she received:
? WASHINGTON, July 29.
Dear Madam:
Your letter of July 27th addressed to
Doctor L. O. Howard, Chief of this
Bureau, has been referred to this office
for attention. The specimens which
you submit appear to be the larvae or
maggots of one of the fungous gnats
belonging to the Genus Sciaia.
These maggots have the habit of mass-
ing together and marching in snake-
like masses, just as you describe. They
are not injurious to grass so far as
known and will disappear presently with-
out harming anything. In case you wish
to kill them, pouring hot water on them
is about as simple and effective a meth-
od of eradication as we could recom-.
mend. Weare very glad indeed to re-
ceive your information in relation to
these insects as such a great abundance
of them is a very unusual occurrence.
W. R. WALTON,
(Acting) In Charge Cereal and
Forage Insect Investigations.
After receiving the above Miss Cook
referred to one of her books on entom-
ology and feund a complete reference to
the above. The book stated that they
fed on mushrooms, or any vegetable
matter of a mushroom growth and were
entirely harmless on the lawn or in the
garden. Their most striking peculiarity
is their mode of traveling twisted in
ropes as thick as a man’s finger and any-
where from eighteen inbhes to thr
feet long. :
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—Luella
Musser, the four year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Musser, of State
College, was so badly burned last Thurs-
day afternoon when her clothing caught
fire from burning paper that she died
about 7.30 o’clock in the evening. The
child had been playing in her father’s
store where the painters were at work.
The latter gave her some paper to play
with and taking it she crossed the street
to the house, got some matches and
went out in the yard into burn the paper.
Her clothing caught fire and although
neighbors rushed to her and at once ex-
tinguished the flames she was so badly
burned that death ensued several hours
later.
In addition to her parents she is sur-
-vived by one sister and a brother, Elea-
nore and Clay, both at home. The fun-
eral was held at three o’clock on Satur-
day afternoon, burial being made in the
Pine Hall cemetery.
SETS FIRE To CLOTHING AND BURNED
TO DEATH.—In a fit of despondency
about four o'clock last Friday afternoon
Marie Haas went into the suinmer kitch-
en of the Haas home at Roopsburg, sat-
urated her clothing with coal oil, applied
a lighted match then ran out onto the
porch where her aged mother was sitting

WALKEY.—The sudden and unex-
pected death of Henry Walkey, at 2.30
o’clock on Wednesday afternoon, was

pleasant gentleman. His wife, who
prior to her marriage was Miss Re-

Chautauqua Guaranteed for Next
Year. "
The Bellefonte: Chautauqua of 1916
has gone down into history as a pro-
nounced success since everyone of the
“7 Joyous Days” brought pleasure
and profit to some one or ones.
The lecturers were talented men
and students, the only regret in con-
nection with them was, that not more
of the thinking men and women heard
the messages of these gifted speak-
ers.
The variety in and composition of
the musical part of the program pro-
hibits any just criticism. The Schu-
bert String Quartet is not presented
to every Chautauqua, hence a compli-
ment was paia Bellefonte by its pres-
ence.
The morality play, “Happiness,”
taught its lesson effectively and was
well acted. As we recall the many
different features of the ‘program we
easily recognize that it. was a well
balanced one with something in it for
all. :
Our Junior Chautauqua was the larg-
est on the circuit, numbering 237 hap-
py, active children. Some of us think
that the Juniors alone were well worth
the price of the ticket; others claim
the same for the lecturers and others
for “The Mikado.”
The consensus of opinion is that
Dr. Forbush was “the best Superin-
tendent we have had.” His talks were
especially helpful ‘to parents and
teachers, but they gave food for
thought to others, even to the younger
element.
Judging from the present popular
feeling towards Chautauqua, next
year’s session will be well supported
by not only the former friends but by
many new ones. .
. Fifty-four men and women have
volunteered to serve as guarantors for
another year. The agreement is still
open to give more men and women
the opportunity to subscribe. Every
signature means happiness to hun-
dreds of people. Won’t you—the un-
signed—add your name to the list!
The list of guarantors will be pub-
lished soon. The second cpportunity
for you—the unpledged—is to sign-
the ‘pledges for tickets. Please ask
for them.
- While we are indebted to the Swarth-
more Chautauqua Association for this
exceptional opportunity to listen
to good things, we owe at least an ex-
pression of appreciation to the guar-
antors, to the ticket canvassers, to Dr.
R. L. Weston and Robert F. Hunter,
indefatigable’ workers and supporters
‘which spell success, “~*~ 7

ter; secretary, Helen E. Overton;

Material Aid for Soldiers Families.
Since last week’s issue of the
“Watchman” pledges of support to
the Centre county Soldiers’ Relief As-
sociation have been received from the
following: H. H. Ruhl, Mrs. E. H. Yo-
cum, Bellefonte Academy, Mrs. H. E.
Fenlon, Mrs. Richard Taylor and John
Knisely, Bellefonte; the I. O. O. F. No.
733 of Port Matilda, and John Smith,
Spring Mills. a
Quite naturally many people are
wondering just what amount of aid is
being furnished to the dependent fam-
ilies of members of Troop L, now in
Texas, and for their benefit, as well
as for the information of.the general
public, it can be stated on authority
that during the month of July the Re-
lief Association paid to the soldiers
{families a little over $700.00 in cash.
i This amount included help to every
{family who needed it, not only to the
{wives and children of the men at the
ifront but in at least two cases to
| mothers whose sons had contributed
to their support. The action of the
Pennsylvania railroad company in de-
| ciding to extend aid to the families of
|any of its employees who are at the
{front will in the future relieve the
| Association to the extent of about
{$55.00 a month, and one or two other
{families may soon be given assistance
{in another way, which will further re-
duce the total amount needed but the
{ least that can be made to do in the
i future will be about $650 per month.
Aside from the liberal contributions
{missioners and $25.00 by the borough
| council, practically all the money so
|far contributed .has.come .from resi-
{dents of Bellefonte and vicinity. While
| there are a few cases of pledges from
| people living in different parts of the
| county, there are not nearly as many
as there should be. Troop L is not a
Bellefonte organization by any means.
In fact its members come from all
| over the county, and aid is as cheer-
| fully furnished to a dependent family
| living at Howard as one in Bellefonte,
‘and for that reason citizens of the
{ county generally should contribute to
(the fund. If just three hundred people
{would agree to contribute one dollar
per month it would be a great help to
the Association and the contributors
would never miss that amount. The
soldier boys were prompt to respond
to the call of the President and the
citizens of the county ought to be just
as prompt to respond for the relief
of their dependent families at home.
Recruits Wanted.
In accordance with recent orders from
the Commanding General of the Eastern
Department, U. S. A., Lieut. R. A. Zent-
myer has been appointed a recruiting of-
ficer for the National Guard of the Unit-
ed States and Pennsylvania, with station
at Tyrone, but including also the sur-
rounding territory of Clearfield, Philips-
burg, Bellefonte and Lock Haven. Per-
mission has been requested to visit these
places for recruiting purposes, but until
such permission has been granted, re-
cruits will be accepted and enlisted at
Tyrone for all arms of the service, in-
cluding infantry, artillery, cavalry, engi-
neers and ambulance company. Each
recruit will be privileged to choose the
organization in which he desires to enlist,
that is the regiment, but will be assigned
to the particular company by the officer
in command of the regiment.
Arrested for Killing Deer.
Paul Harter, son of Harry Harter, of
Spring township,” was arrested at ten
o'clock on Wednesday morning on the
charge of killing deer out of season. The
information ‘was made by chief of police
Harry Dukeman and the arrest was made
by game wardens E. W. Kelly, of DuBois,
and Charles Batcheler, of Philipsburg.
The arrest grows out of the finding of
the dead body of a buck on the Merrill
Kerstetter farm in Spring township two
weeks ago on Wednesday. The deer had
been killed with a load of buckshot.
Young Harter will be given a hearing be-
fore squire Woodring on Friday evening,

“Watchman” the following statement
for publication:
“To whom it may concern: I wish
to make the following report of my
chemical examination of the ice cream
which was furnished by Mr. L. D.
Goheen, of Tyrone, Pa., to the Fair-
brook Sunday school picnic, held at
Kepler's Gap, July 22nd, 1916. Two
samples of this material were brought
to me, one by Mr. R. G. Goheen on
Sunday, July 23rd, and one by Mr. G.
W. Rossman on Monday, July 24th.
I examined both samples and = found
them to be free from all preservatives
and poisonous materials of any na-
ture.—J. B. Churchill, professor of
industrial chemistry, State College.”
