ble articles, but by hard work the
bucket brigade managed to extinguish
the fire.

PLEASANT GAP.
D. W. Keller and wife, accompanied
by Mrs. Earl Keller, motored from
Philadelphia to spend Thanksgiving
with My. Keller's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. E. K. Keller.
’Squire J. D. Herman and Ralph
Noll each shot a wild turkey on
Thanksgiving day. Strange as it may
seem, the two turkeys weighed ten
and a half pounds each.
Our good neighbor, Collins C.
Baumgardner, had a very severe at-
tack of indigestion Friday night, but
has recovered sufficiently to enable
him and his wife to motor to Tyrone
to remain for a brief time with their
daughter, in the hope of recuperating.
D. W. Keller and wife and Mrs.
Earl Keller, who are visiting with
friends here, were agreeably surprised
on Saturday last when they were in-
vited by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Noll to
the rare feast of a wild turkey din-
ner. A very agreeable day was spent
at the Noll home. Mr. Fred Witmer
and wife, of Bellefonte, were also in
evidence on the occasion.
Henry Noll, our Ford garage ven-
der, has embarked in a new enter-
prise. He is now the happy possessor
of an improved airplane. Henry has
the reputation of being fearless. It is
alleged that he don’t fear the wrath
of God, the face of man, or the indig-
nation of woman, hence it is that
many of his friends fear that he may
lose his life, inasmuch as the airplane
is a treacherous proposition.
A disastrous fire of unknown origin
completely destroyed the barn of Jo-
seph Zelesnick and wife on Monday
evening, entailing a loss of over two
thousand dollars, without any insur-
ance. Out of a flock of 300 chickens
one hundred perished. All the -live
stock excepting one pig was saved.
Three horses, four cows, and small
stock were saved on a very close call.
All their grain, hay, straw and fodder
went up in smoke. Inasmuch as these
unfortunate people have no feed left
to winter their stock they will be
obliged to sell all at private sale. Mrs.
Zelesnick had just returned from the
hospital a few days before the fire,
and the shock of the disaster is af-
fecting her seriously, so that she is in
a very precarious condition.

ing parties returned home the middle

tion in a mill in West Philadelphia.

ters were at home for several days

where they spent several days, return-
ing here on Tuesday to help with the
annual butchering.

Farmers’ Week Presents Wide Choice
of Subjects.
Every member of the farm family
will be able to make up a full sched-
ule of meetings and demorstrations of
interest to him during Farmers’ week
at State College, the latter part of
this month. The opening meeting on
Monday evening, December 18th, with
Dean Watts to welcome the visitors to
Penn State’s campus, will launch one
of the best educational programs that
the school of agriculture has ever pre-
pared for its guests. An attractive
variety of subjects is offered for se-
lection in every phase of the work. In
addition to the customary branches in
agriculture and home economics, a
new division has been established for
those who are lovers of birds, trees,
flowers, and wild game and who are
interested in the conservation of
Pennsylvania’s wild life. Speakers of
State and national repute have been
called in to assist the agricultural
faculty and the forenoon of Thursday,
December 21, should mark the close of
an event that has been rich in bene-
fits to the farm folks who attend.

The “Watchman” gives all the
news while it is news.
STATE POLICEMEN ARE HEALTH
OFFICERS.
“No,” the state policeman’s first aid
kit doesn’t contain whiskey,” replied
Major Lynn G. Adams, superintendent
of State police, when asked about the
first aid work of his force. “Aromatic
spirits of ammonia is the best they
can do for you,” he continued.
“The State Department of Health in
addition to appointing Dr. S. Leon
Gans, liaison officer for the two de-
partments, and lending us the service
of Dr. Edgar S. Everhart, who gave
the men at the Newville Training
school a complete course in regular ar-
my first aid work, has furnished our
men with first aid kits containing
bandages, gauze, sutures, scissors,
equipment for stopping hemorrhages
and dressing wounds.”
That the general public does not
recognize the state cop as a humane
agent first and a policeman secend, is
shown by a story Major Adams told
of a woman who came to his office,
very angry because a policeman in
rushing an injured woman to the near-
est hospital was compelled to swerve
from the road by another machine,
and thereby broke her favorite hy-
dranga bush. When told that the
sick woman lived far back in the
mountains, that her husband showed
his affection by daily beatings and had
finally cut her throat, and that the
state policeman was taking her to a
hospital instead of merely hustling a
law-breaker into jail, the irate one
relented enough to say,
“Well, I didn’t know state cops did
anything but arrest people and I
couldn’t see any sense in tearin’ along
like mad to put some one in the lock-
up. Anyway I always voted right and
it won’t hurt the State any to buy me
another hydranga.”
Both Major Adams and Doctor Mar-
tin stated that this couldn’t be done
out of their Department funds.
Hundreds of accidents occur on
lonely roads and the other fellow
drives on leaving the hurt ones to die,
as would often be the case except for
the patrolling state cop. He applies
first aid, gets them to the nearest hos-
pital, and—nine times out of ten—
ferrets out the driver who kept on
going. Such an accident occurred re-
cently on the Lancaster pike.
A high powered car knocked a mo-
torcycle from the road and drove rap-
idly away. A state policeman found
one man dead, and the other terribly
injured. He dressed his wounds and
commandeered a passing automobile
which took the victim to the Lancaster
hospital. Meanwhile the cop pursued
the hight powered car, caught up with
it and arrested the driver.
Their first aid equipment does not
include splints, but Major Adams says
that is a small matter for when splints
are needed a nearby fence loses a pal-
ing or two, and fence rails serve as
stretchers.
The Physicians’ Motor Club of Phil-
adelphia, with a membership of 1300,
has commended Major Adams and Dr.
Martin for their concerted action, and
have offered to help anywhere, at any
time, in giving aid treatment.
In further co-operation with State
Health Department activities, state
policemen have been commissioned as
health officers. When raids are made,
or quarantine broke, or a public health
law ignored, the State policeman im-
mediately takes the necessary action.
The State Health Commissioner
says this is but the first step in a
broad campaign to line up all forces
for a better public health.
“The splendid co-operation and in-
terest shown by the state policeman in
the matter of public health proves
that it is a subject of interest to any
wide-awake group,” said Doctor Mar-
tin.
“The public health problem is one
too large to be solved by the medical
profession alone. It requires the en-
rollment of a large body of intelli-
gent people, not specially trained in
health work but willing to help them-
selves and others to that degree of
health and hapniness which is their
just due. The church, school, cavital,
labor, fraternal organizations, all are
needed. Major Adams and his force
of 423 men, are showing how it can be
done.”
The medical personnel of the State
Department of Health has been in-
structed to work with the state police
whenever their activities require such
assistance as doctors and nurses can
orive.—State Health Department, Har-
risburg, Pa.
WAISTCOAT ADDS TO SUIT
accessories Are Used Alike on Forma!
and Informal Costumss—Cotion
Homespun Neckwear.
Spring Is to see the waistcoat or
gilet established as an essentlal ac
cessory to the smart suit costume.
This is the only conclusion one can
reach after viewing a number of spring
pneckwear lines, which are now open-
ing fast, and which are of exceptional
{nterest.
The neckwear trade Is talking
sport neckwear strongly, and cense:
quently is showing fabrics of appro-
priate weave and in exceedingly smart
color effects.
What promises to be one of the
successful fabrics of the season for
this purpose is “cotton homespun,”
which comes in plain colors and In
good looking stripes, and Is smartest
when severely mannish, or decorated
with hand drawn work.
Some embroidery In colors is used
as well. New models in this material
have been brought out. One has a
characteristic roll sport collar and
pockets in the turned up bottom.
A collarless model, with hand drawn
revers at the front, is effectively worn
with a coat having a black collar.
There are mannish walstcoats in
this same material, collarless and
pocketed, in narrowly striped home-
spun.
There are many Puritan collared
gilets in the spring collection, and
the materials and colors in which
they, as well as other models, are
being shown are innumerable.
Movie Musician.
A motion picture actor, one of the
best horseback riders in the movies,
holding championship belts won at sev-
eral rodeos, recently, to demonstrate
his equestrian skill, essayed to catch
a string of trout on horseback.
He got his bite all right and hooked :
his fish, but at this precise moment
the old cowboy instinct got the best of
him, and as the line straightened out,
he forgot it wasn't his trusty riata, and
through force of habit twisted it round
the pommel of his saddle and galloped
madly out of the stream, dangling the
fish behind him. ]
“Whatcha tryin’ to do,” demanded a
friend as the crowd caught up to him.
“Well,” said the actor, “I guess you
might say I was runnin’ over the
scales.”
For Your Goldfish Bowl.
Here is a helpful hint for better suc-
cess in keeping your piscatorial pets:
On the outside of your goldfish bowl,
or globe, paint the bottom and about
two inches above the bottom with dark
green paint.
This adds greatly to the comfort of
your water pets. They will not swim
so wildly, but seek the bottom and
rest. Pretty castles can be built of
rough pebbles and cement by choos-
ing a cement that will not be affected
by water, and also tunnels, projec-
tions and nooks, which will be appre-
ciated by the fish,
Besides, the rest and comfort this
point gives to the fish adds to their
iongevity and growth.

had dizzy spells and a swimming sen-
