HOW HONOLULU LOOKS BY
MOONLIGHT.
Another Letter from Dr. North, En-
route to the Chinese Interior.
Somewhere on the Pacific,
October 3, 1923.
Dear Home Folks:
In spite of the fact that for the
past week or so we have had a super-
abundance of salt water to view, we
have had enough interesting exper-
iences of one kind or another to break
the monotony. In Honolulu we had a
great disappointment in being unable
to spend a whole day there. We ar-
rived in sight of Molokai, the island
famous for the leper colony, about
the middle of the afternoon. We fol-
lowed a line possibly twenty-five
miles north of it for the rest of the
afternoon. Finally there appeared on
our starboard bow the looming of
what seemed to be a huge chocolate
drop. Before we came within the
distance where details were visible it
had grown dusk. A lighthouse be-
gan to gleam on the nearest headland.
By the time we had reached the is-
land it was brightly lighted. First
came Ft. Ruger, which seemed at first
a large enough mass of lights to be
Honolulu. Then came a long string
of lights along Waikiki Beach. Fi-
nally Honolulu gleamed before us. By
the time we had gone through the red
tape of what is supposed to be a med-
ical inspection, and had crawled up to
the pier it was ten or ten-thirty. We
—that is, Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard,
Sarah, and I—went ashore, had some
real American ice cream, and took a
moonlight automobile ride around
Honolulu and out to. Waikiki Beach.
Honolulu by moonlight is romantic-
ally entrancing. The moon was al-
most full. We were able to see the
homes nestled amid flowers and lawns |:
of great beauty. Stone walls for rods
at a time were covered with night-
blooming cereus in profusion. Many
strange flowers were everywhere. We
saw sugar-cane growing, also bana-
nas, date palms, cocoanut palms, and
royal palms. When we had ridden
for an hour we returned to the ship
to sleep. Next morning I arose early,
went ashore, bought a newspaper,
took a few snapshots—one of them of
a hugh banyan tree—strolled about
the old royal palace and the post-
office, and returned to the pier. Here
were gathered venders of fruit,
beads, garlands, ete. It was a gay
sight. Instead of the long strands of
gaily colored paper which made the
departure from San Francisco so in-
teresting, people placed garlands of
flowers and crepe paper around the
necks of their departing friends. As
we left the pier, the water near the
shore was a most vivid sea green.
Farther out it was deep blue, or,
where the sun did not strike it, a dull
blue.
Perhaps the most -charactertistic
feature of our departure was the div-
ing of the native boys for coins
thrown from the ship. They are re-
markable swimmers, remaining in the
water for long periods, apparently
without fatigue. As we left the is-
land the most remarkable view was
that of the mountains. Almost all
the clouds in the vicinity seemed to
cling to their summits. Below the
clouds the vivid green patches of veg-
etation stood out in sharp contrast to
the sombre brown of the cliffs and
slopes. We sailed along the island—
Oahu by name—till late in the after-
noon. In the meantime there appear-
ed upon our left the island of Kauai,
the last that we saw and the most
northerly of the Hawaiian group. We
have seen no lands since that Mon-
day. It is now Tuesday of the next
week. A shark and another huge fish,
the classification of which is in dis-
pute, are all the objects we have seen,
except flying fish, to break the mo-
notony of water. The disputed fish
was at least ten feet long. It was
wonderful to see it glide through and
over the water. I have forgotten to
mention a school of fish—either
sharks or porpoises—which we saw
from the ship at some distance from
us yesterday afternoon.
The weather has been warm, some-
times too warm for comfort, especial-
ly when one has to sleep in an inside
stateroom. During the past two days
we have had so much wind that our
speed has been cut down from twen-
ty-five to fourteen knots or miles an
hour. Brief flurries of rain have been
frequent for two or three days past,
along with sudden changes of tem-
perature. Even the wind, however,
does not seem to be able to ruffle the
composure of the sea. Once or twice
at night we have seen phosphores-
cence, a most beautiful glowing like
huge fireflies in the water.
Dr. Biederwolf, the well-known
American evangelist, along with his
party, which is touring the world, or,
at least, the missionary world, board-
ed the Tenyo at Honolulu. In his
party are Homer Rodeheaver, Dr. J.
N. Rodeheaver, his brother; Miss
Grace Saxe, formerly with Billy Sun-
day, and Miss Hay, a charcoal and
crayon artist. We have had two mu-
sicales in charge of Homer Rodeheav-
er. Dr. Biederwolf preached a good
sermon on Sunday. Members of the
party have taken charge of our morn-
ing devotional half hour on most
mornings. In addition, Dr. Bieder-
wolf has been giving a few talks on
the book of Revelation. The party is
to leave us at Yokohama.
The greatest treat of our whole
trip, as far as personalities is con-
cerned, is the presence of Dr. Sven
Hedin, the famous Swedish explorer,
on the ship. He is bound for Japan.
On Monday night he gave us a lec-
ture on his explorations in Asia, es-
pecially in Turkestan and Tibet. He
was kind enough to let us take his
picture this morning. Tonight Sir
Theodore G. Chambers, of England, is
to give a talk on the garden city
planning in his country, which has at-
tracted much attention among archi-
tects and landscape architects every-
where. You see that we are still in
the midst of civilization, even though
we have had no news from America
to speak of since leaving Honolulu.
For the past few days wireless mes-
sages have been coming to us from
Japan to the effect that we shall be
allowed to land there, and that con-
ditions are improving every day.
There are many interesting person-
alities on the Tenyo, not so well
known as those I have mentioned,
but worth making the acquaintance
of. A large proportion, as I suppose
I mentioned in my last letter, are
Britishers, one of them being Sena-
tor Whiteside, of South Africa. One
interesting acquaintance is that of
Dr. Babbott, a friend of both Dr.
Hoople and Dr. Sutton, of our unit.
He and his wife are making a tour
combining business with pleasure, as
I understand. Dr. Omori, a Japan-
ese Seismologist of international rep-
utation, is on board, but has been ill
almost ever since he embarked. He
was to have lectured to us on earth-
quakes.
At noon today we had 385 miles to
go before reaching Yokohama. At
the present rate of travel we shall
probably reach that port some time
tomorrow afternoon. Our average
rate of speed is fifteen and a fraction
knots an hour. We cover about 370
miles a day. We shall no doubt have
many things to write after we have
seen that city.
In closing may I ask your forbear-
ance. I have done my own typing
and have written thoughts down with-
out much prearrangement. I hope
my next attempt will come nearer to
perfection.
Affectionately yours,
SARAH and BILL.
Bellefonte Y. Defeats Renovo Bowl-
ing Team.
In a spirited contest, last Friday
evening, the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A.
bowling team defeated the strong Re-
novo team by a margin of 124 points
in the three games played. The score
was as follows:
Renovo Jellefonte
Ist -Game:..... i... 685 34
2nd Game. .......:..» 7 798
Srd Game............ 31 796
Total Points... 2204 2328
The Renovo team arrived in Belle-
fonte during the afternoon and in the
evening were guests of the Bellefonte
bowlers at a dinner served at the Y
by the Hi-Y club in the community
room. C. C. Keichline scored the
highest number of points during the
contest, 197 pins. A return match
will be played in Renovo in the near
future.
The basket ball during the play car-
nival last week was well patronized,
the feature being the game on Fri-
day evening between the High school
and Y seniors, the latter winning by
the score of 33 to 22. The game was
a fast one from beginning to end,
Thomas Mensch being the star player
for the evening. On Saturday even-
ing there were games between the
High school girls.
Many youngsters took advantage of
the play carnival program at the Y
during the latter part of the week,
the roller skating being the big at-
traction for the children.
The business men’s class will re-
sume volley ball on Tuesday, Janu-
ary 8th, at 8 o’clock p. m.

The Neatest and the Best
If all of 1924 is to be as encouraging and bright for “The Demo-
cratic Watchman” as one of its most esteemed friends and undoubted-
ly longest-time reader made the first morning of the New Year cer-
tainly ours is to be an enviable lot.
Topping the pile of mail on our desk was the letter we publish
below. After reading it, surely you will understand why the dawn
of 1924 was resplendent with gratification and hope in this office.
When a reader who knew the paper long before any of its present
makers were born, who knew it when it was in far more capable hands
than ours, in the mellow years of his judgment, writes to assure us
that it is still what it has always striven to be “the best edited and most
neatly printed county paper that is published in the State of Pennsyl-
vania” a lot more of cheer is shot into our lives and work than many
of you may understand. And when this reader happens to be the out-
standing correspondent of a contemporary we regard his as the com-
pliment supreme.
He has raised two interesting questions.

As to his urge to those who are in arrears with their subscription
we add a fervent Amen Time was when we had turkey at least three
times a year—Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

and that every second of them may be full of as much happiness as
George W. Rumberger, of Unionville, brought us on New Year's
morning we give the cause of it all to you to read.
Dear Watchman:
I see by your last week’s issue that it is marked Vol. 68, No. 50.
Meaning that it has closed another year of faithful service to its sub-
seribers, and that this week’s issue will be marked Vol. 69, No. 1.
About a year ago I gave a brief history of the early life of the
“Watchman” and bragged about my long connection with your valu-
able paper as a subscriber and now wish to give my annual “brag” as
I think I have something worth while to brag about.

a subscriber and from that day to this the “Democratic Watchman”
has been a weekly, welcome visitor to my home; a span of almost 64
vears and I have been a reader since its first issue, nearly 68 years.
I want to say further that the label on my present number reads
“May 15, 1925,” showing that it is paid a year and a half in advance. I
am not bragging about this but I mention it as an example for other
subscribers to follow, so that those who are far in arrears ought to be
ashamed and at once pay the poor printer who, perhaps, hadn’t money

Dale—Hunter.—Edwin H. Dale,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Dale, |
and Miss Florence Hunter, a daughter
of Mr. Craig Hunter, two well known
young people of College township,
were married at the Presbyterian
parsonage at State College, on Christ-
mas day, by the pastor, Rev. Samuel
Martin. Following the ceremony they
left on a wedding trip to Washington
and other eastern cities.
During the past two years the bride
has filled a responsible position in the
treasurer’s office at State College, and
is an accomplished and popular young
woman. The bridegroom graduated
in the animal husbandry department
at the College, class of 1920, and
since that time has been agricultural
assistant in the Gregg township vo-
cational school. The young couple
will be at home after February first
on the Walnut Hill farm, adjoining
the Centre Hills club, where they will
specialize in farm work.
Godshall—Lamb.—Frank Godshall,
of Camden, N. J., and Miss Florence
M. Lamb, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Michael Lamb, of Bellefonte, were
married at St. John’s Episcopal
church, at eight o’clock last Thurs-
day morning, by the pastor, Rev. M.
DePui Maynard. The only witnesses
were the bride’s brother and sister,
Thomas and Miss Nina Lamb. Im-
mediately following the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Godshall were taken to Un-
ionville by motor where they took the
train for their already furnished
home in Camden, where the bride-
groom is an instructor in the Cam-
den schools.
Lucas—McClellan.—Lloyd W. Lu-
cas, son of Nicholas Lucas, of How-
ard, and Miss Mary McClellan, a
Clellan, of Milesburg, were married
on Wednesday of last week, at the
parsonage of the Methodist church in
Hollidaysburg, by the pastor, Rev.
Robert Peters. Following the cere-
mony the young couple left on a wed-
ding trip to the western part of the
State.

! The Holiday Season.
Christmas and the holiday season
have come and gone and the “Watch-
man’ again greets its many readers
with the wish that the new year will
prove a very happy and prosperou
one for all. ’
The Christmas season was a merry
one and from all reports financially
satisfactory for merchants every-
where. Buying and gift giving flow-
ed at high tide, notwithstanding the
high prices that prevailed in many
lines. .
The holiday season was ushered in
in Bellefonte the Sunday night before
Chirstmas with a song service around
the community tree erected in the
Diamond under the auspices of the
Campfire girls of Bellefonte. The tree
furnished by Charles Bilger, was
erected by John Lambert and illumin-
ated by myriads of colored electric
lights furnished by the Elks. The
song service was in charge of Cecil
Walker while prayer was offered by
Rev. Wilson P. Ard. After the sing-
ing hundreds of children were given
a treat of a box of candy and an or-
ange purchased from a fund contrib-
uted by the Business Men’s associa-
tion.
On Christmas day many deserving
families and children were remember-
ed with well laden baskets furnished
through the generosity of the Elks
and money contributed by private in-
dividuals.
But the one thing lacking to make
the day and the season real Christ-
massy was snow and cold weather.
In fact the weather of the entire week
was so mild that farmers throughout
the county did some ploughing in sod
fields in preparation for the spring
work. But old Boreas was only
asleep and not dead, as was proven
on Monday night of this week when
the old year was literally blown out
and the new one in by a terrific gale,
which was followed by colder and
more seasonable weather. Of course
the wind was not alone in ushering in
the new year. Whistles were blown
and bells pealed forth their merry
tunes while the new year shooter was
also abroad. In quite a number of
homes in Bellefonte there were watch-
night parties held for the purpose of
seeing the old year out and the new
year in. The Odd Fellows band was
also in evidence and after playing on
the streets of Bellefonte visited Zion,
Pleasant Gap and Axe Mann.
But the holiday season is now a
thing of the past, only a memory, but
let us hope a memory that will linger
with all of us that we may so live dur-
ing the coming year that we can look
forward to another Christmas with
rejoicing for the good that we have
done.

Tying Up Contracts for Rockvie
Penitentiary.
Tuesday’s
says:
“Unexpended appropriations made
in 1921 to the board of inspectors of
the western penitentiary lapsed when
the administrative code of 1923 abol-
ished the old board and created a
board of trustees, according to a rul-
ing made today to Harry G. Samson,
of Pittsburgh, a member of the board,
by Auditor General Samuel S. Lewis.
The result will be contracts let under
the portion of the half million dollar
appropriation remaining can not be
paid and the board will have to look
to the next Legislature to reappropri-
ate the money unless it can finance
the work out of the 1923 appropria-
ion.
“Mr. Lewis has had the question
of effect of the code under study since
the end of October when Mr. Samson
wrote asking what would be done about
contracts for $258,000 worth of ma-
terial outstanding under contracts let
under the 1921 appropriation for com-
pleting Rockview penitentiary. The
1923 appropriation for construction at
the new penitentiary amounted to
$245,000.
“This ruling and others in which
the Auditor General contends the
code having abolished boards and
created new ones forced appropria-
tions to lapse will be taken up as soon
as the Supreme court rules upon the
i code, which is to be argued Saturday,
