Re- cent nventions made by the William- son brothers make it possible tc actu- ally photograph scenes at the bottom of the ocean and by means of the new style of diving suits where the diver carries his ‘own supply of air on a small tank upon his back, we are able to se= these divers in various interest- ing feats, such as hunting maneating sharks, exploring ancient ship wrecks, and in their search for pearls. Man- color of their eyes. Another thrill camera that it is possible to see the colar o ftheir eyes. Another thrill that will hold an audience spellbound occurs when a diver gets caught in the 14-foot tentacles of a gigantic octo- pus, and when it seems certain that he will be crushed to death he is rescued by another diver who seizes an axe and chops off the monsters tenta:le. The picture is in eight full reels. Two performances will be given at the Scenic at 7 p. m. and 9 p. m. Prices, children 15 cents; adults 25 cents, and a matinee at 2:30 p. m. Prices, chil- dren 10 cents, adults 20 cents. Hall—Flick.—Blair C.

Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church. The only witnesses to the ceremony were My. and Mrs. Walk, the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Flick, Miss Gertrude Flick and Luth- er Flick. Mr. Hall, who is a son of John W. Hall, at one time conductor on the Central Railroad of Pennsylva- nia, has taken apartments in the Shoe- maker property on Spring street and he and his bride will be at home there to their many friends. ee Two Couples Married. On Wednesday of this week John I. Bickel and Miss Meadrith M. Heaton, both of Fillmore, were united in mar- riage at the parsonage of the Metho- dist church by the pastor, Dr. E. H. Yocum. A few minutes after the above couple left the parsonage Admiral S. Farrell and Miss Bertha M. Pearson, both of Lewistown, arrived at the min- ister’s home and were also united in marriage by Dr. Yocum, the ring cer- emony being used. — ee Isenberg—Ebersole—A quiet wed- ding took place at the home of Mr. Charles Isenberg, in Boalsburg, on Tuesday of last week, when his son, Edward D. Isenberg, was united in marriage to Miss Laura Ebersole, of Hollidaysburg. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. C. Stover, of the Reformed church. Mr. and Mrs. Isen- berg will make their home in Holli- daysburg. ; Aston—Hoy.—George T. Aston aud Miss Pearl M.

Trkomas Caldwell, head plumb- er in Allison’s plumbing establish- ment, lost his roll of long green on Saturday night, and though he went to every business place he had been in he could find no trace of it. One of the places he had been was ap on Lamb street, to see his brother-in- law, Andrew Engle, and after lying awake most of Saturday night he got up abecut fcur o’clock in the morning for an early hunt on the streets. Going up Lamb street he was very pleasantly surprised to find his roll lying on the pavement in front of con- stable Howard Smead’s re.idence. Needless to say, he has kept a tight clutch on it ever since. ——On Wednesday a bold highway- man held up Dr. J. L. Mausny, of Ralston, while he was motoring on a lonely road in Lycoming county, and shot kim through the arm. The high- wayman was captured later and while he was being identified by the doctor he quickly drew a revolver and shot Harry French, of Bodine, in the leg, then succeeded in making his escape. The would-be robber answers the de- scription of Walter E. Dress, one of the three men who escaped from the Rockview penitentiary on August 3rd. Carl Corman on Monday re- signed his position.as machinist in the garage of the Emerick Motor Bus company and on Wednesday left for Philadelphia where he has accepted a similar position. Elmer Rockey, one of the bus drivers, will also quit this week and go to Williamsport to enlist in the regular army. Orvis Sholl, another of the drivers, gave up his job to become chauffeur for Mrs. George F. Harris, Ellis Hinds having left her to go into the Norman R. Wright garage. The Williams family reunion will be held in John Q. Miles’ grove near Martha on Saturday of next week. The Runville band will furnish the music and arrangements have been made to have an abundant sup- ply of refreshments. The Pennsylva- nia-Lehigh trains will stop at the grove. During Wednesday afternoon’s storm lightning struck the house of Walter Dreiblebis. in Ferguson town- ship, and knocked off the chimney. Another bolt struck the William Fos- ter barn and tore off some shingles and weatherboarding, but neither one of the buildings was fired. Social Doings During the Week. Mrs. W. F. Reeder entertained with bridge Monday night, at her apart- ment in Petrikin hall. Mrs. Joseph Ceader was hostess at a surprise birthday luncheon Tuesday. given her by her daughter, Miss Helen Ceader. ; At Mrs. Frank Montgomery’s party Wednesday night, five hundred was the game of the evening. Fire Alarm to be Tested. The big electric sirene fire alarm has been permanently installed on top of the jail and it will be given a thor- ough try-out tomorrow (Saturday) evening at six o'clock. There will be one long signal, which means a fire, then the ward signals as follows: North ward, one long and one short; South ward, one long and two short; West ward south of High street, one long and three short, and West ward north of High street, one long and four short. It is hardly likely all of the signals will be given tomorrow evening but enough of them will to thoroughly test the alarm and make the public acquainted with the signals. So when you hear it, don’t jump and run, thinking there is a fire. BIRTHS. Gunsallus—On July 1, to Mr. and Mrs. Dorman Gunsallus, of Hublers- burg, a daughter, Bertha May.

Washington, Aug. 14.—Nomina- ticns of nearly 200 general officers in ihe national army, including officers of the regular army and the national guard, were sent to the Senate today by President Wilson. From the 37 new major generals to be created for the duration of the war, and from the existing major generals of the regular army, will come the army, corps and division commanders of all the forces now being raised, regulars, national guard or national army. Similarly the brigade com- manders will be selected from the lists of more than 100 new brigadiers. Coincident with this announcement of high command came the statement from the War Department that a com- posite national guard division, com- posed of troops from. 26 States and the District of Columbia was in process of organization under command of Bri- gadier General Mann, now chief of the militia bureau of the department, but who heads the list on national army major generals. These will be the first national guard troops to be sent to France. They in- clude the division machine gun bat- talion No. 149, to be ccmposed of the Third battalion, Fourtk Pennsylvania infantry. No discussion is permitted by the censorship regulations, how- ever, of the time of their mobilization or departure for the front. The list of general officers shows that the seniority rule has been fol- lowed closely except where men in line for promotion were found wanting by the board of officers who made the recommendations to the President. The rule laid down by Secretary Bak- er for the selection of general officers directed that two major qualifications govern the board—evidence during their army careers of skill in leading troops in action and in training sol- diers. The list of major generals takes in virtually all of the army brigadiers and includes the only two national guard officers of that rank, Generals O’Ryan, of New York, and C. M. Clement, of Pennsylvania. The list of brigadiers is made up from the existing list of brigadiers of the national guard with a score or more colonels of that service who are advanced in rank, and of regular army colonels from each arm of the service. To fill out the list of coast artillery appointments, two lieutenant colonels were advanced to brigadier rank. All of the commissions are for the duration of the war only and are in the national army, although the offi- cers may be assigned to any part of the fighting forces, regulars, guards- men or selective draft troops. It is understood, however, that wherever a national guard brigade from any State is retained in its present form, its present brigadier will be contin- ued in command. With the exception of the two na- tional guard major generals mention- ed it is indicated that all national guard divisions will be commanded by regular officers. The entire guard force is now merged into the army of the United States, however, and may be used in any way the government thinks best. It is possible that troops of any of the three branches of the service may be used in making up any tactical unit such as a division or a corps. From the fact that the composite division has been designated the Forty-second, however, it is assumed that plans call for the organization of 40 new: di- visions, 16 of which will correspond closely to the 16 national guard train- ing camps, 16 others to the 16 na- tional army cantonments and the re- maining eight to be made up of the ex- panded regular army supplemented with selective draft surplus battal- ions where necessary. Among the national guard briga- diers nominated brigadiers in the new army were: Charles D. Gaither, Maryland; Charles W. Barber, New Jersey; William G. Price, Frederick W. Stillwell, Albert J. Logan and Christopher T. O’Neiil, Pennsylvania; Richard Coulter, Jr., Pennsylvania, and John A. Johnston, of Pennsylva- nia, late brigadier general, United States army. BOYS TO FRANCE. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 14.—Adju- tant General Stewart announced the make-up of the Pennsylvania troops ordered to France on the first call, the Third battalion, the Fourth infantry, to be as follows: Company I, Captain C. G. Miller, Reading, commanding; Company K, Captain J. M. Lightner, Lancaster county, commanding; Company L, Captain F. M. Godley, Easton, com- manding; Company M, Captain J. M. Shunk, Bethlehem, commanding. It is believed that the Pennsylvania contingent will be commanded by Major Quintin O. Reitzel, of Lancas- ter, senior major of the Fourth regi- ment, who has had special machine gun training for the past few months at Fort Sill, Okla. Wheat Control Plans Complete. Washington, D. C., Aug. 13.—Plans for controlling the distribution of wheat and for regulating the manu- facture and sale of flour were complet- ed today by the Food Administration. Creation of a Wheat Control Board will be announced as soon as President Wilson has approved its personnel. This board, comprising officials of the Food Administration ard leading men from the grain and milling industries, will’ be made responsible for putting into effect measures announced last night by the Food Administration. Regulations governing the control of wheat from the time it leaves the producer until it reaches the baker will go into effect September 1. To eliminate speculatior: all elevators and mills of more than 100 barrels’ daily capacity will be required to take out a Government license. There is no present plan to put ce- | 8 reals other than wheat under immedi- ate control, although sugar soon may be under Government supervision. The price of the 1917 crop of wheat to the farmer will be fixed by a com- mittee of which President Garfield, of Williams College, will be chairman. The names of the other members have not been made public. With the Churches of the County. Notes of Interest to Church People of all Denominations in all Parts of the County.

Grove, his son Edwin and Frank Lohr were the principals in an automobile accident. last Friday morning but luckily all escaped without a scratch. They left home in the morning in Mr. Grove’s big Cadillac car to go to Mill- heim for the horse sale.
