If any Bellefonte automobilists have been using state highway route No. 58, running from Bellefonte to Lock Haven through Nittany valley, to speed on they had better desist in the future. A state constabulary. either has been put on pa- trol duty there or will be ina few days whose especial duty it will be to break up the speeding practice on this piece of highway. ies ——William Burnside this week pur- chased the large brick hoisting stack out at the Bellefonte furnace, the last remnant of Bellefonte’s two iron fur- naces. The stack is 22x20 feet in size and one hundred feet high, and contains many thousand brick. Mr. Burnside will proceed at once to tear it down and will sell the brick and old iron used in its construction. ——Bellefonte police officers received word on Sunday that Elmer Bickle, the nine year old son of Edward Bickle, jani- tor at the Y. M. C. A, was lost and they were asked to help locate him. The boy had been working for the tenant on the Kohlbecker farm and had disappeared on Sunday evening. An inquiry was set a foot and in the afternoon it was learned that the boy had been at the Lu- cas home at the foot of the mountain along the Snow Shoe railroad. The search was taken up there and the lad was finally found at Butts station. In- quiry elicited the fact that the boy had gone out after the cows and got up to Snow Shoe Intersection, without know- ing where he was. He was picked up by an automobile and taken to the foot of the mountain to the Milligan Lucas home, where the first trace of him was gotten. In justice to the boy it can be said that he did not run away but likes his home with Arthur Hull and family very much. P. O. S. of A. Picnic. The eleventh annual picnic under the auspices of the P. 0. S. of A. will be held at Hecla park on Labor day, Mon- day, September 4th.

Special trains will run to suit the con- venience of the crowd. The public is invited to attend. Busy Mr. Hughes. From the Springfield Republican. The President these days could not find time to reply to Mr. Hughes, if he desired to. All Mr. Hughes has to do, after six years of retirement and ju- dicial claim, is to throw bricks at an opponent who cannot even get an arm free—so heavy is the burden he is carrying. ——Valuable real estate for sale on the corner of Bishop and Allegheny streets, known as the Edward Brown corner.—J.

The age is described as an age of peace, peace throughout the world under the imperial sway of Rome. There was peace in the sense that all kingdoms had been subdued by Rome and attached to her empire. This was ‘the wonderful “Pax Romana.” But among the millions of souls who made up that empire there was anything but peace. Cruelty and oppression reigned. Half the population of the empire was slaves. : Scholars point out the fact that Rome had extended her empire, not by destroying the nations, but by link- ing their wealthy families with Rome, thus establishing a community of in- terest against the poor people and the slayes, whose toil enriched this aristo- cratic, plutocratic minority. It was a league of all the rich people. in the world against all the poor people in the world. The poor lived in constant fear of the rich, and the rich lived in constant fear of the poor. Insurrec- tions were taking place in all parts of the empire. But the masters had the Roman legions at their disposal, and by the power of arms kept the The Christian Herald. In Time of Danger Woman's Thoughts Turned to the Favorite Weapon of Her Sex. Training in any line of endeavor is indisputably a good thing, of course. But it is not always utilized. A case in point is related in Boston. In that city a society of women had taken a course of lessons in pistol shooting under the supervision of a feminine expert who has in recent months taught to many society women the use of this. lethal weapon. : It was the purpose of the Boston woman to be able to defend herself and her home in case of attack by burglar or burglars. After becoming an expert pistol shot she provided her- self with a pretty gold-mounted pistol which she kept in her dressing table, Recently she discovered a robber in her home. : “I forgot all about the pistol,” she said, “and so I used a hatpin.” The robber fled after receiving sev- eral painful wounds. Thus habit pre- vailed over training, as it so frequent- ly does. But training is more or less valuable, even though in times. of stress it occasionally is forgotten in a reversion to the primitive. Gray in Shorthand. “Efficiency has been getting the laugh of late because its engineers claimed too much for it.” The speaker was Dr. Harris Dulles Rhodes, the efficiency expert of Den- ver. “Yes,” he continued, “the average efficiency engineer bragged as stupids ly about efficiency as the correspond- epce school principal who said: “‘We are told, and credibly told, that it took Gray seven years to write his, famous poem, ‘The Elegy in a Country Churchyard.’ Yet if Gray had been an adept in our system of stenog- raphy he could have written the piece in seven minutes. Every graduate stu- dent of ours can write the poem in that length of time. It’s one of our tests.’ ” Gypsies Dislike Military Service. When a woman gypsy caravan dwel- ler of Tottenham was summoned at Enfield police court for aiding in the concealment of her son, who had failed to report for military service, it was stated by the police that they had had considerable difficulty in getting at male gypsies of military age belong- ing to the Tottenham colony. The men frequently produced registration cards which were not their own, and even marriage certificates belonging to oth- ers. The defendant’s son, who was un- married, had never been registered. When the police found him in the caravan he ran away, and was only captured after a long chase. The de- fendant was fined $10.

Coincident with establishment of the farm loan board under the rural credits act, comes information that in- vestors are gobbling greedily all of the farm mortgages they can grab. Bankers describe this as “an out- standing feature of the financial situ- ation.” High grade mortgages that were sold a year ago on a 6 per cent basis now command 5 per cent, the farmer pocketing the other 1 per cent. The farmer who in recent years had to beg on his bended and cal- loused knees for money to carry on farming operations is suddenly be- come the one best bet of the man with means. But it took federal legislation to bring the bankers and investors to their senses! His Credit was Good. “Is his credit good?” “It must be.
