Notwithstanding the fact that
“the weather of last week was the
coldest of the winter motion picture
fsns found the Scenic comfortable
every evening during the week and
the splendid programs of pictures
shown were worth going to see, even

the pictures shown is the big drawing
card at the Scenic, and its many pa-
trons never suffer disappointment. If
you are not a regular patron of this
popular place of amusement, you miss
many good ones, that is the reason
why you should be a regular.

AUTO DEALERS ENTHUSIASTIC.
: Big Show to be Held in Bellefonte will
i be Best Ever.
In less than two weeks the second
annual auto show, given under the au-
spices of the Centre County Automo-
bile Dealers’ Association, will be in
full swing in the Bellefonte armory
and from present indications it will ex-
ceed any former show ever held in
Bellefonte. In the neighborhood of
fifty high class cars, representing
thirty or more of the standard manu-
factories, will be on exhibition, while
i there will also be a line of trucks and
{ auto accessories of all kinds.
The show will afford a splendid op-
portunity for prospective purchasers
of cars and trucks to look them all
{ over before deciding on the make to
ibuy. Every auto dealer in Centre
county outside of Philipsburg will be
represented while district agents
from other towns will be in attendance
with some of the latest models.
An elaborate program of the show
is now in the course of preparation
which will contain not only a list of
dealers and cars represented but
much other information which will
{ make it a valuable souvenir to retain
i for future reference.
The ticket selling contest for big
cash prizes is now in full swing but
there is still an open chance for many
i more young ladies to win out. Any
person desiring to enter should write
the show manager, W. C. Rowe, and
| get a supply of tickets.
Last year over two thousand peo-
i ple attended the Centre county show
and every one of them declared it to
be the best of any held in Central
Pennsylvania. Inasmuch as the show
this year will exceed that of last the
attendance ought to be comparatively
greater. Everybody is welcome to at-
tend, whether they want to buy a car
or not. .
Don’t overlook the

To Institute Chapters of Order of
DeMolay.
The Bellefonte commandery Knights
Templar have started a movement for
the institution of a Chapter of the Or-
i der of DeMolay in Bellefonte and one
at State College. The new order,
which was founded in Kansas City
three years ago, is for boys and young
men between the ages of 16 and 21
years. Up to.this time almost three
hundred thousand young men have
been enrolled as members of the var-
ious Chapters instituted in the United
States. The first Chapter in Pennsyl-
!vania was instituted in
last week with 1107 members. George
iT. Bush, of the Bellefonte Chapte>
Knights Templar, went to Pittsburgh
to make a study of the work of insti-
tuting the new order.
"The ritual is founded on the life of
| Jacques DeMolay, the last grand mas-
‘ter of the Knights Templar of the
Crusaders, who was burned at the
; stake for refusing to divulge the se-
{crets and the names of his fellow
members in the order. The princi-
I ples of the order teach right living,
| filial love, reverence, courtesy, com-
i radeship, fidelity, cleanliness and pa-
triotism, and uphold the bible, the
That Perennial Panther.
Once again that mythical pan-
ther that has roamed the mountains of
Central Pennsylvania ever since the
wreck of the Walter L. Main show al-
most thirty years ago, has come to
light over in the Seven mountain sec-
tion, according to a story coming from
the lower end of Pennsvalley. Report
i saith that one night during the fore
part of last week two men leit Coburn
to go to their homes some distance
i east of that town. While walking
"along the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail-
i road they were startled by a blood-
curdling wail on the side of the moun-
tain, and as both are old hunters they
feel confident that the wail was that
of a panther. According to Col. Shoe-
maker's mountainous tales the last
panther in Pennsylvania was killed by
George Hastings on the mountains
above Beech Creek, many years ago,
and if there is a real, live panther
wandering over the mountains in this
section of the State at the present
time it must be one of the wild ani-
mals that escaped from the Main
{ show, or a lineal descendant, at least.
Radio Fans, Take Notice!
To the fans in Bellefonte and near-
by towns. You have received word
from the broadcasting stations all
over the country to send them a mes-
sage as to how and from where you
| are getting their program. Mr. L. W.
ion Telegraph company, will keep his
office open until ten o’clock this (Fri-
day) night to give the fans an oppoi-
tunity to send their message to the
broadcasting stations. Every one is
urged to get their message to the
Western Union office early so it can
be gotten through in good time. The
message will then be repeated back to
the sender over his own radiophone.

——A liberal patronage is asked
for the food sale to be held tomorrow
(Saturday) from nine in the morning
until three in the afternoon, in Ole-
wine’s hardware store. The sale is
under the auspices of James Parrish’s
class, of the Episcopal Sunday school,
composed of fourteen boys, whose
mothers will contribute all the good
things to be placed on sale. The pro-
ceeds will be the class Lenten offering
to the church.
——1In four days last week three
hundred and forty cars of freight
were shipped out of Bellefonte. And
this, notwithstanding the extreme
winter weather which prevailed at
that time. Of course the bulk of bus-
iness was limestone but it is evidence
of the fact that the limestone indus-
try in this section is picking up con-
siderably and will probably improve
in the spring. The big question then
will probably be the availability of
cars to handle the business.
Mi. J. R. Hughes has been fili-
ing his ice house the past week with
beautiful fifteen inch ice from his
skating pond on east Bishop street.
Any one in the county desiring to fill
his ice house with ice suitable for cold
storage plants, can cut it on the
Hughes pond and haul it away at a
very moderate charge. This ice is
not suitable for drinking water, but
is very good for cold storage rooms
and refrigerators. Consult Mr, Chas.
S. Hughes, Commercial phone, or Mr.
James R. Hughes, Bell phone 45.
At an adjourned hearing before
‘Squire S. Kline Woodring, last Fri-
day evening, Joseph Cole and John
McCartney, of Snow Shoe, were each
fined one hundred dollars and costs
for killing a deer illegally. On Decem-
ber 22nd, while hunting foxes, the two
men ¢ame across a deer injured unto
death and to end its suffering shot it.
They later reported the shooting to
the state constabulary but the law
specifies that the injury of the deer
should have been reported before the’
killing. W. G. Runkle, attorney for
the two hunters, will likely appeal the
case to court.
Howard Stover Buys Kelly Bakery.
Howard Stover early this week pur-
chased from the trustee in bankrupt-

once went to work to clean out the
place, overhaul the equipment and put
the place in shape for operation. He
will make a specialty of supérior
brands of bread, rolls, cakes and pies
and expects to be open for business |
either tomorrow or Monday mozning.
The closing of the Kelly bakery was
a great inconvenience to down town
people, all of whom will be glad to
know that it will soon be doing busi-

American Legion Reception.
Great preparations are being made
by the Brooks-Doll Post No. 33,
American Legion, for the public re-
ception to State commander Willian
B. Healy, to be held in the armory
Tuesday evening, February 27th.
Good boxing, in which a number of
local wearers of the padded mitts will
compete, has been arranged. Some
splendid wrestling matches will also
be put on. The main event of the
evening will be the address of Com-
mander Healy and it is quite likely a
large crowd will be present to greet
him and to hear him. The Woman’s
Auxiliary of the Legion has planned
some tasty refreshments, and that fea-
ture will no doubt be very attractive.
Included in the grogram for the party
will be quartette music and a dance
with a ten piece orchestra furnishing
the music. You are invited to attend.
The hour is 7:30.
Entertainment at Y. Tonight.
The next number of the Y. M. C. A.

cal and piano selections. The quar-
tette includes, Walter Haas, first ten-
or; Ralph Steinbacher, second tenor;

$1,750,000 for Pennsylvania’s Father-
less Children.
One million, seven hundred and fif-
ty thousand dollars for mothers’ as-
sistance for the next two years is the
amount carried in the appropriation
!' bill introduced in the House of Rep-
resentatives on January 29th. This is
| the amount which Governor Pinchot
has allowed in his budget for the
mothers’ assistance fund. If approv-
ed by the Legislature this will provide,
when matched by the counties, $1,750,-
000 for each of the next fiscal years.
Governor Pinchot acted in the inter-
est of sound economy as well as in the
interest of preserving the homes of
Pennsylvania’s fatherless children
when he recognized the desperate need
for more adequate funds and increas-
ed the mothers’ assistance fund ap-
propriation 75 per cent., the only de-
partment of the State government
which was allotted an increase over
its 1921 appropriation.
The last appropriation of $1,000,000
was sufficient to care for 2553 fami-
lies, including 9257 children. On the
waiting list are over 5000 families
and 17,000 children who cannot be as-
sisted for lack of funds. Even if the
Legislature allows the full $1,750,000
there will not be sufficient to care for
all. Although Pennsylvania has as-
sumed in law, with forty other States,
its responsibility for the care of these
fatherless children it is now assisting
only about one-third of the eligible
families; homes are being broken up,
children separated from their mothers
and placed in institutions, or mothers
who are struggling to earn a living
and at the same time care for their
children in their own homes are fight-
ing a losing battle with poverty, un-
der-nourishment, disease and neglect.
Governor Pinchot realized that
home grown children are gilt edged |
investments. It costs at least $18 a
month for each child cared for ade-
quately in an institution. Philadel-
phia is paying $18.31 for each child
boarded in an orphanage; but it costs
the State only between $10 and $12 a
month per child under the mothers’
assistance fund.
But there is another argument for
home grown children besides its econ-
omy. President Roosevelt said,
“Home life is the highest and finest
product of civilization.” It is to pre-
serve home life and a mother’s care
to Pennsylvania’s dependent, father-
less children that the Legislature
passed the Mothers’ Assistance law in
1913. The Pennsylvania law is .ad-
ministered by unpaid county boards of
women trustees who provide free
medical aid for mothers and children,
t examine the school records of all chil-
dren regularly, and advise with the
mothers on all kinds of household and
financial problems. The aim of the
trustees is to help the mothers rear
their children in normal homes in or-
der that they may grow up to be
healthy, useful citizens of the State.
The portion of the appropriation
heretofore allotted to Centre county
has been entirely inadequate to meet
the demands, and the local board of
trustees are naturally interested in
securing the increased appropriation.
Organized Women Work for Peace.
“If the organized efforts of women
this tired old world may some day be
at peace.” This is a natural obser-
vation when one learns of the activ-
ities of the Women’s International
League for Peace and Freedom, an
organization that is bringing togeth-
er the womanhood of all the nations
of the world, and is moulding a senti-
ment for international peace.
What they want and what they in-
tend to get is PEACE—peace for all
the world for all time. They believe
that just as in the past there has been
a psychology of war, so in the future
there must be a psychology of peace,
and that this change in world psychol-
ogy can be brought about at an infin-
itesimal cost when compared with the
price of war.
Beginning on February 22nd, Wash-
ington’s birthday, the Pennsylvania
branch will begin an intensive cam-
paign. They are asking the women of
the State to declare themselves for
peace—to have this relic of barbarism
—war—banished from the earth, as
duelling and slavery have been ban-
ished.
All those who wish to help in unit-
ing all woman against all war can do
so by joining and encouraging others
to join. Literature and additional in-
formation can be furnished by Mrs.
Robert Mills Beach, Bellefonte, Pa.,
chairman Centre county.

A burning flue set fire to the
roof of the house occupied by the fam-
ily of William Shaffer, on Logan
street, last Friday morning, which re-
sulted in a call for the firemen. Both
{ companies responded and the flames
were extinguished before they gained
great headway or did much damage.
The same evening sparks from the big
furnace stack in the rear of Crider’s
Exchange fell on one of the windows
and burned through into the kitchen
of the apartment occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Charles E. Gates. The window
curtain caught fire and was promptly
reduced to ashes. Fortunately Mrs.
Gates was in the kitchen at the time
and prompt action on the part of her-
self and husband extinguished the fire
without the necessity of sending in an
alarm, but not before a hole had been
burned almost big enough for a man
to crawl through.
