Not Easy to Make Good Escape from Penitentiary. Dash Jury, a Blair county citizen who is a familiar figure in the crimi- nal courts and who last July complet- ed a term of imprisonment at the Rockview penitentiary, was sent back for another year last Wednesday by Judge Baldridge, at Hollidaysburg. After being sentenced Dash gave a statement to an Altoona Mirror repor- ter on how hard it is for convicts to make good their escape from the peni- tentiary, as follows: By way of introduction Dash ex- plained that the convicts at the prison on the big farm in Centre county are not very closely guarded. Referring to his own experiences at the prison during his first term which lasted a year Jury declared: “I’ve often been two miles from the prison with nobody with me. It ain’t no use trying to escape. They'll get you again. You get out on them mountains and you can’t get off them. The mountains take a turn. I've known fellows that got out when I was there that would wander through the mountains for a week and then fetch up right above the prison. The guards would get ’em.” Jury went on to explain that the prison authorities are assisted by dwellers in the mountains who know every path and who spot an escaped prisoner on sight. These communi- cate with the warden as soon as a sus- picious character is seen and guards are hot foot on the trail of the wan- derer. According to the observation of the man, who has broken into jail so many times that he can’t keep track of them all, a prisoner at Rock- view, who knows when he is well off, will stay his term out. Dash has a holy horror of the mountains that girt the beautiful valley in which the pris- on and its huge grounds are located. Dash had a good word to say of the prison farm and general conditions there. He told about the splendid equipment of the farm and particu- larly of the barns and stables. He had helped care for the live stock during his year there and had enjoyed the ex- perience, but he manifested great re- pugnance to going back to do another year. ® During his year at Rockview Jury learned to do all kinds of farm work and explained that he felt himself qualified to serve as a farm hand. Dash’s worst enemy is John Barley- corn. Training Airplane Experts at Penna. State College. Training students as inspectors of airplane material is the latest war- time addition to the curriculum of The Pennsylvania State College. Professor George R. Green has start- ed a class of twenty young men in wood technology. They will study the structure, strength and durability of spruce and ash, which are the chief woods used in airplane construction. Government officials have told Profes- sor Green there is a great need of competent inspectors to be stationed at the various airplane plants throughout the country. Later the course will include a study of timbers used in ship building, and Penn State will cooperate with ship builders in supplying inspectors in their yards. ——Last Friday night funeral di- rector Frank E. Naginey was notified of a death at the Bellefonte hospital and told that he was to take charge of the remains. Forthwith he went to that institution and was told that he would find the body in a certain room. Mr. Naginey in some way got into the wrong room and in the dim light saw a form lying upon the bed which he naturally took for the corpse. Pulling down the covers he took hold of the legs to straighten out the supposed corpse when there was a kick and the owner of the legs said: “What's the matter with you? I’m not the corpse, that’s in the next room.” Mr. Nagi- ney was very much astounded, of course, at having made such a mis- take, but at that managed to identify the man he had mistaken for a corpse to be one the hospital could least af- ford to lose, the genial James F. Krape. — On Wednesday afternoon a big seven ton truck went over the bank on the Red Hill, on the road to Snow Shoe. and overturning caught one of the men by the shoulder, pinning him to the ground until passersby helped to release him. The truck was from Williamsport and with two men in it was on the way to Snow Shoe for a load of coal. Going up the hill the driver of the car stalled the engine and the car ran backwards and over the bank, rolling down a distance of twenty-five feet. The names of the men in the car could not be learned. Here the Bible and Christian | to hey 19, when a policeman was kill- | — James H.

Senator Vare Implicated in Philadel- phia Murder Mystery. Philadelphia, October 2.—State Sen- | ator Edwin H. Vare was today named | as the man higher up who was to fur- | nish the money to bring gunmen from | New York for election work in the | Fifth ward here on primary day, Sep- | ed. Congressman William S. Vare, the Senator’s brother, was named as | giving assurance that the money would be forthcoming from Isaac Deutsch, the man who is alleged to have engaged the gangsters. The Vare brothers, who have made millions in city contracts, were brought into the case through sensa- tional testimony by Samuel G. Malo- ney ata hearing given to Mayor Thomas B. Smith and eight others charged with conspiracy to murder | and other crimes in connection with the Fifth ward killing. Altogether, seventeen men are under arrest here and in New York in connection with the murder and the political feud. Maloney, a former Republican fac- tional leader in the Fifth ward and now head of the local branch of the Val O’Farrell detective agency, was the star witness at the hearing. Tonight Senator Vare, who with his brother, the Congressman, are the leaders of the faction opposed to that headed by the United States Senator Boies Penrose and State Senator James P. McNichol, in this city, gave out a statement in which he said that everything Maloney swore to so far as it concerned the Vares was an “abso- lute lie” and is only part of the gener- al frame-up he warned the people of Philadelphia about in a public state- ment two days ago. S Prior to Maloney’s recital of alleg- ed conditions in the Fifth ward, Isa- dore Stern, a member of the Legisla- ture from that ward, told how he had warned Mayor Smith the night before the primary on the long distance tel- | ephone of possible bloodshed, and how | he had engaged a special train to bring the Mayor from Atlantic City for the purpose of bringing about or-: der and how the Mayor replied that | Stern could not “pull any sucker stuff like that over on me.” ! { —_—— BOALSBURG. | Miss Annie Lohr is visiting friends | in Philadelphia. | Rev.

Soldiers at Fort Shafter Learn Words and Airs of America’s War Songs From Movie Screen. There is one officer on Oahu, says the Sunday Advertiser of Honolulu, ac- cording to the Army and Navy Journal, who is a firm believer in the value of | song as a military asset to the soldier. Col. James A. Irons, commanding the Second United States infantry, believes so thoroughly in the importance of hav- ing soldiers know the songs of the na- tion—particularly the war songs—that | ed by the burning coal escaped to the | he has provided a means of teaching the men of his regiment just what the war songs of America are. The method which Colonel Irons has started at Fort Shafter is one which should be used throughout the army. It consists of having national and pa- triotic airs played by the orchestra at the evening performances at the air- i drome—Fort Shafter’s moving picture theater—while the words are thrown upon the screen where the men can read them. In this way the soldiers become acquainted with the words of the songs, and what is equally impor- tant, they become accustomed to sing- ing together. The soldiers are enthusi- astic over the new plan and the sing- ing is worth going far to hear. It is not impossible that, sometime within tke service of the men who are now serving the second infantry, that regi- ment may be called on to march from Bordeaux to Berlin, and that the march will be made easier and the spirit of the men at the end of the hike will be far better if it is made to the tune of “Annie Laurie”’—the regimental an- them—sung by every man in the regi- ment. Cards have been issued from the regimental press printing the words of “Annie Laurie” and the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the list of 90 battles, engagements and skirmishes in which the Second infantry took part. The first was in November, 1791, at Mau- mee Fords, O. BIRDS AID IN WAGING WAR Their Work in Increasing Crop Yields by Destroying Insect Pests De- clared Highly Important. Food is needed for our armies. Birds help the farmers produce that food by destroying insect pests, Therefore, birds may be considered as one of the allies. In the Farm and Fireside one reads: “Birds are almost as busy as bees, and their work in increasing crop yields is highly important. One of the cheapest and most effective ways to fight insect pests that annually take crop toll estimated at $800,000,000 is to aid in the preservation of bird life. Few people realize how many insects | are destroyed by birds. A teaspoonful of chinch bugs has been taken from i the crop of one quail, and an adult bird has been known to eat 5,000 plant Such worms and bugs as infest our gardens are favor- | ite food for bluebirds, robins and many | other kinds of birds. “It is true that some insect pests may be fought with chemicals. Owing to the great war, though, prices for many materials commonly used in sprays, washes and poison mashes are pretty near prohibitive. But the birds work at before the war wages. “Birds also eat thousands of weed seeds. A single quail, when killed, was found to contain 10,000 pigweed seeds. With labor scarce and high, whatever will aid the farmer in his crop against weeds is worth while.” Bags From Banana Trees. Machinery has been taken to Hon- olulu from the state of Washington by four men who are making an in- vestigation of the use of the fiber of the banana trunk for bag making. The investigation was brought about by an- nouncements that the sugar planters of the Hawaiian islands, as well as those of other sugar-producing coun- tries, are faced with uncertainty con- cerning steady shipments from Cal- cutta of bags to be used as containers for raw sugar. Ever since bags have been used by the Hawaiian sugar planters in exporting the raw product from the islands to the mainland of the United States, the Hindu bags, which are made to contain 125 pounds each, have proved to be satisfactory. War conditions have caused the plant- ers to cast about for a substitute. Old Laws, Modern Conditions. New England, with its recollections of ancient “blue laws,” should be in- terested in the report that war-time England has seen fit to revive a statute of Charles I.’s time prohibiting the transaction of business on the Sabbath, says the Springfield (Mass.) Repub- lican. As there is a shortage of labor, with the consequence that shop people are overworked, the need of providing a day of rest is acute, and numerous shopkeepers have been arrested for do- ing business on Sunday. The English authorities are very ingenious in dig- ging up ancient statufes to fit some new and unforseen situation. One Fish a Day Is Limit. The limit catch for anglers in Range- ley stream, near Haines Landing, Me., is probably the smallest of any waters in the United States—daily limit one fish, fly fishing only. The reason is that this stream is the breeding place for the big Rangeley trout, and Maine sees that its stock of big trout is not unnecessarily depleted. The famous Page trout that weighed 12 pounds was taken from this stream in 1867. The fish was the record fish for almost fifty years, the laurels than going to the 14%%-pound trout taken in the ‘Jepizon. Vanishing Coal Beds. | Many coal beds in the great coal ! fields of the Western States have at | one time or another taken fire and { burned for long periods, baking and ' reddening the overlying strata so that . they have become a kind of natural brick or terra cotta. The fires were { hot enough in places to fuse and re- | crystalize the overlying shale and | sandstone so as to form natural slag. | At some places the slag resembles | true igneous rock; at others it consists ‘largely of rare minerals. Thoroughly fused slag seems to oc- cur chiefly in crevices or chimneys ! through which the hot gases generat- | | surface. The chimney-shaped masses { of slag are harder than the surround- i ing baked rock and, after that has | weathered away, form the curious pin- | nacles that surmount many clinker | bluffs or buttes in the West. i Some of the coal beds, especially ! those on the higher hills, were perhaps ignited by lightning; others were | probably started by prairie fires or | camp fires; but since burning at the ! surface has been so common as to af- { fect most of the coal beds in an area : of more than two hundred thousand square miles, much of it has probably been due to spontaneous combustion. Coal beds are now burning at or near the surface in many places in the West. The fire is disclosed by the smoke and the fumes that rise from it, and by the heat at the surface of the earth near the outcrop or above the bed—heat so intense+that it kills all vegetation. As the coal burns out, the overlying i rock or earth generally caves in, so as to form large fissures in the ground. As the fire works back from the out- crop the heat acts on the overlying rocks, but finally combustion dies out for lack of oxygen. It is hard to say how far from the surface the fires may extend. Field studies of the United States Geological Survey in- dicate that a bed lying beneath twen- ty feet or less of cover may burn out completely under large areas, and even where the cover is several hun- dred feet thick the burning may ex- tend five hundred feet back from the outcrop.—Youth’s Companion. S. Simons Goes A-Lunching. Simon Simons, honorary president of the Economical Sports association, looked at the clock again, drew in his belt still another notch, and decided he really must go to lunch. “Pm really quite hungry,” he thought. “I believe I'll try a sort of progressive luncheon—it will be quite a lark. Let's see, I'll start at Oopen- heimer’s—their 10-cent bowl of ivy soup is the biggest in town.” And he walked five blocks to Oopenheimer’s, drank the soup and set out for Swish- endish’s, eight blocks away, where, he knew, the b5-cent sandwiches were quite as big and as crowded as the usual 10 centers. After lingering over a Siamese cheese sandwich, he walked to Bickel and Watson streets, to Pogenwoog’s, where he got an ice-cream cone for 3 cents, and by that time he was so hungry from all the exercise that, in desperation, he strode into a restau- rant where a placard read: “Full course dinner, 85 cents.” When he gof, back to the office, two hours later, he found that Twickenham B. Woos had dropped in to buy $2,000 worth of stock in the B. V. D. sand- paper mine, and dropped out again.— Indianapolis Star. # Conserving Wheat Flour. A prominent New York hotel has recently added to its, menu a bread containing rye flour and whole wheat flour in addition to white flour. Anoth- er method of saving wheat flour which is being well received, is to use one part of cottonseed meal to four, five or six parts of wheat flour. A United States senator not long ago served bread made from these ingredients to several of his colleagues in Washington, and they seemed much pleased with it. Government chemists have demon- strated that flour cam also be made from peanuts, dried peas, sweet pota- toes, etc., and that such flour can be mixed with wheat flour to make excel- lent bread.—Popular Mechanics Mag- azine. $90 Coal. Probably a record price for coal was recently paid by the captain of an American cargo steamship returning from Genoa to New York after deliv- ering a war cargo at the Italian port. At Genoa the Yankee skipper was com- pelled to pay $90 a ton for coal enough to carry him to Fayal, in the Azores. At the island port he was able to purchase coal at the compgratively rea- sonable rate of $30 a ton, and got 500 tons, enough to bring him to New York. The extremely high price of coal now- adays is somewhat of an offset to the big profits to be made in war freights. —Subscribe for the “Watchman”. New Advertisements. OR SALE.—1914 Ford Touring Car.
