The one place in Bellefonte where you are sure of finding splen- did entertainment every evening in the week, except Sunday, is at the Scenic. Manager T. Clayton Brown ‘spares no expense in providing the best programs of motion pictures ob- tainable, and the offerings every night are varied enough to provide amuse- ment for the most exacting movie fan. If you are not a Scenic regular get the habit and see all the good pic- tures. The condition of Miss Ella A. Gates, who was found unconscious in her apartment in Crider’s Exchange two weeks ago yesterday, continues to baffle the skill of her physician. While no one has any definite knowl- edge of the history of the case her illness is believed to be concussion of the brain as the result of a fall. She was removed to the Bellefonte hos- pital a week ago and since Monday has been in a state of coma, being un- able to talk or recognize any one. Bellefonte borough council held another secret session, on Monday evening, presumably for the purpose of continued consideration of the prop- osition to purchase the Ulsh & Ba- shoar mill for the water power con- nected therewith. While the “Watch- man” is neither discrediting nor abet- ting the purchase it would seem a reasonable argument that in any deal contemplating the expenditure of any- where from fifty thousand dollars up of the taxpayer’s money secretiveness should be the one thing most to be avoided. ——James C. Waddle, better known to his legion of friends as “Jimmie,” celebrated his ninetieth birthday an- niversary at his home in Lock Haven on Monday. For thirty-eight years Mr. Waddle was conductor on the lo- «cal freight running between Tyrone and Lock Haven, on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, and in that capacity he formed many warm friendships among those with whom he came in contact, friends who continue to re- member him through the many years since his retirement from active du- ty, and all of whom will be glad to know that he still enjoys remarkably good health. A man who gave his name as Wayne Cobb, alias James Boyd, and his home Charleston, W. Va., was ar- rested at State College on Saturday, just as he had climbed into one of the transportation busses, on the charge of robbing the students at the Sigma Nu fraternity house at the college. According to report he gained access to the house some time on Friday and going from room to room took sixty- two dollars from the trunks and cloth- ing of the various students. Police records, it is claimed, show Cobb to be an escaped convict from the Flori- da state penitentiary and his special- . ty is'Tobbing college students of their spare cash. SR SE A SA ER Dr. Glenn Gives His Impressions of Havana, Cuba. West Palm Beach, Florida. February 6th, 1924. Glad to get your letter on our re- turn from Cuba. We had a very nice trip—Howard Struble, his sister Ma- ry, Nannie and I, as the others in our party did not go with us. Tvo hun- dred and twenty miles from here by train to Key West where we stayed over night; took the boat at 10 a. m., arrived in Havana 5 p. m.—ninety miles from Key West to Havana. Havana is a wonderful city in sev- eral ways. Has 400,000 inhabitants and we were told the entire city is fire-proof and it looks it; no one pays any fire insurance. Has many fine hotels. The president’s house is a beauty. There were no automobiles there until five years ago; now the city is full of them. No traffic rules; every one runs wherever there is a hole to get through and no accidents. These Cubans or Spaniards are nat- ural born gamblers—bet on anything. Bet that you will win or that you won't, either way, just to get a bet We stayed at the Santa Fe, a new hotel, everything nice and clean. They charge so much a room per day and you can put in as many as you wish. Nannie and I had a pleasant room with every convenience which we oc- cupied three days and were greatly surprised to be handed a bill for only $4.50. The four of us took our break- fasts in the dining-room of the Na- tional Hotel, across the street and about half a block away. We were each served with half a grape fruit, then a pitcher of coffee and a pitcher of hot milk, cup and saucer and could serve ourselves to as many cups of coffee as we wished, a generous lot of good bread and butter, two soft-boiled eggs and were then offered a very large glass of real beer. the four of us was one dollar. Where can you beat that for prices? We had a forty-mile drive around the city and the largest cigar factory in the world, on the island called Toledo mill and owned by Toledo, Ohio, people—they say Hershey, of Pennsylvania, has the largest mill; went to a large brewery, a beautiful place and all this in a sev- en-passenger Hudson for $2.50 each. Were through what is said to be the second costliest Catholic church in the world, then over to the races. dred horses there and have races every day. There is where one sees the betting in all its fury! Street car fares are five cents everywhere. We were most agreeably surprised with Havana and its surroundings; weather was fine—a very little warm- er than here. It was 75 degrees here yesterday and many are bathing in the ocean. We are all well and enjoying this fine temperature. When not driving, we spend our time on the large porch surrounding the house. - We bought, yesterday, two dozen large grape fruit for thirty cents—clipped from the trees while we waited, fully ripe, and delicious. Have just heard of Abe Markle’s death and am mighty sorry. He was a man among men and few like him! Will miss him very much. With best wishes to every one, W. 8. GLENN.

Presbyterians Call New Pastor. At a congregational meeting held in the Presbyterian church, Belle- fonte, on Sunday morning, presided over by Rev. Samuel Martin, of State College, it was unanimously voted to extend a call to the Rev. William C. Thompson, of Danville, to become pastor of the church. Not a dissent- ing vote was cast. The salary will be the same as that paid Rev. David R. Evans, with parsonage and ‘a month’s yearly vacation. A commit- tee was appointed to convey the call to Rev. Thompson. — The Werrenrath concert at State College, Saturday night, was a decided success, both as to its artistry and the financial returns. The Schwab auditorium was filled and when the brilliant baritone concluded his last number “On the Road to Mandalay,” the audience refused to move, hoping it could have more, notwithstanding | Werrenrath, alone, had entertained it with his wonderfully rich and vibrant . voice for an hour and three-quarters.

They had eight hun- Columbia; Amherst and Holy Cross, | University, | Florida; | The Bon Mot Enlarging. Pressed for room to comfortably seat its patrons the Bon Mot is being enlarged. The kitchen has been removed from the main restaurant floor, giving room for quite a few more tables and re- lieving greatly the congestion that has given manager Caldwell so much concern since he opened his popular resort. Y. M. C. A. Board and Trustees Meet. The adjourned annual meeting of the board of directors, with the trus- tees, was held at the Y. M. C. A, last Tuesday evening.

Will the contributors kindly send their contri- butions as early as possible, any time after 10 o’clock. The home-made supply last Satur- day did not meet the demand so home- made bread and home-made rolls will be the specialty at this sale. Phone your order before Saturday to either Mrs. Brouse or Miss Over- ton to make sure that you will not be disappointed in not getting what every purchaser pronounced to be per- fectly delicious.

O. of A., of Aarons- burg, will attend a special patriotic service to be held in the Reformed "church of that place at seven o’clock. “Washington, the Model Patriot,” will be the subject of the sermon to be preached by the pastor, Rev.

Marlin, of Du- Bois, was elected president of the as- sociation, and John D. Meyer, of Ty- rone, was re-elected secretary, while Nelson E. Robb was chosen a member of the council. The Bellefonte Trust company was represented at the con- vention by Nelson E. Robb, Earl Orr, Fred C. Witmer, Warren Cobb and Misses Robb, Witmer and Wagner, while James K. Barnhart represented the First National bank of Bellefonte. Another Riot at Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh. A guard and an overseer were killed in another riot in the western peni- | tentiary at Pittsburgh on Monday morning and as a consequence at least i three prisoners may pay the forfeit ! for their devilishness in the death house at Rockview. According to warden John M. Egan the ringleaders were the group known as the “Four Horsemen,” transferred to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia in 1921. The riot began about 9:45 o’clock in the morning in the south wing of the penitentiary. There was a blind- ing flash and rocking detonation that shook the building. The tinkle of broken glass mingled with the shrieks of the prisoners, then came the sharp | cracking of revolvers, two of which were in the hands of prisoners. Then came a second explosion and a hurried investigation showed a hole several feet in diameter in the south wall. Guards rushed to the opening and held the prisoners at bay until city police and detectives arrived, and net a single prisoner escaped. When the smoke of battle had cleared away, however, it was found that one guard and an overseer had been killed and four men wounded. Quite a number of the prisoners assisted in quelling the riot. Pay | : Bellefonte Shirt Factory Permanently Closed This Week. The Bellefonte shirt factory was closed this week for good, the last shipment of shirts being made on Wednesday. S. D. Ray, proprietor of the factory, which has been in opera- tion more or less regularly the past twenty or more years, decided to quit the business when the wholesalers for whom he manufactured demanded changes that would have necessitated the installation of considerable new machinery at a cost of considerable in excess of one thousand dollars. It was this fact that led Mr. Ray to de- cide to close the plant. A dozen or more girls and women have been steadily employed there who will nat- urally have to look for something else to do. Yesterday Mr. Ray put men to work dismantling the machinery in his plant. He has had one or more offers to lease the same but is more favor- ably considering the project of turn- ing the entire plant into residential flats. The building is of ample size to make five or six flats of five rooms and bath, and as they will all be on one floor should make desirable places to live; especially with the surround- ings cleaned up and put in nice con- dition. Movement to Broaden the Scope of Service of the Local Y. A movement is on foot to ally all the organizations in Bellefonte,—so- cial, business and religious—in an ef- fort to put greater financial and mor- al support behind the local Y and broaden its spheres of activity to the point where it will, in every sense, supply whatever need there may be for a great community center. Such plans are only tentative, of course, and contingent on their final working out to the mutual satisfac- tion of the directors of the Y and those offering their services in the movement. We understand that the American Legion and the Business Men’s Association are the originators of the plan, their first thought being that the institution be abandoned as a Y. M. C. A. and operated purely as a community center. Just what the reaction of the pres- ent supporters of the Y will be to such a proposal is problematical. To us it seem that it has merit only if it can be shown that there is no need for such a christian organization in our midst, or that it is not supported suf- ficiently to finance it in giving the kind of service such an institution should give to our young men and women.

Rev. Thomas Le Van Bickel died very suddenly at his home in Reading, on Wednesday, the cause being given as heart failure. Rev. Bickel is well and most favor- ably remembered in this community for it was here he began his ministry. On June 1st, 1898, just graduated from the Seminary at Franklin and Marshall, he came to serve the con- gregation of St. John’s Reformed church. For three years he remained in that pastorate and then accepted a Rev. | call to a larger field in Philadelphia. ‘ From Philadelphia he went to Leb- anon, all the while growing in bril- liance in the ministry, and it was there that an accident occurred that permanently deformed him physical- | ly and for a while blighted his ambi- tions. As he told us on the occasion of a visit here last fall the cross was indeed heavy to bear, but finally he saw the light and it was pointing to more humble fields of service so that when he had recovered he accepted a call to a small church with a mission in Reading and it was there he died. When you know what it means you will sympathize a lot with Jacob Bottorf, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Bottorf, of north Spring street, this place. He is laid up with “pink eye” and forced to mar his wonderful record of not having misses a session of school, for any cause, for four years. During the absence of Mr. and Mrs. W. M.
