an unlucky day for passenger train
west on the Lewisburg division of the
Tyrone railroad. First the engine
frame broke and the fact was discov-
ered in time to avert a serious wreck
and another engine secured from Sun-
bury. Running behind time the train
ran down three cows in the vicinity
of Oak Hall, killing one of them. At
Lemont a man named Lewis Jones
tried to get across the track ahead of
the train. He escaped without a
scratch but his flivver was reduced to
junk.

was a member of the original “Boys
Band,” of that place, and developed
into a wonderful alto player. Since
moving to Tyrone he has jumped all
around in his instrumentation by
going on double bass and then to cor-
net. Like father, like son, it was nat-
ural for Fred to get into a band so he
started under Frank Wetzler, at
Milesburg, taking the flute and pic-
colo. He showed such talent for the
instruments that after leaving Miles-
burg he studied flute under Buerre,
became a member of the Ridgway
69th cavalry band of New York city
and is now going with America’s
greatest bandsman.’

HOSPITAL BOARD ORGANIZED.
Chairman of Building Committee
Instructed to Get Busy at Once.
The new board of managers of the
Centre County hospital, chosen at a
corporation meeting on Monday even-
ing of last week, met at the hospital
on Monday evening. Every member
was present with the exception of
Prof. Woodruff, of State College, who
is out in Wisconsin on his summer va-
cation, and W. Edgar Williams, of Port
Matilda. Of the eight men elected to
the board in the Bellefonte district A.
Fauble and W. H. Noll Jr., declined
the honor and the first business of the
board on Monday evening was to elect
Calvin Troup and Horatio S. Moore to
fill the vacancies. Both gentlemen ac-
cepted the responsibility and went
forthwith to the meeting.
The board then organized by elect-
ing George Hazel, of Bellefonte, pres-
ident; J. Laird Holmes, of State Col-
lege, vice president; Ralph T. Mal-
lory, secretary, and Edward R. Owens,
treasurer. The bond of the latter was
fixed at $50,000. Mr. Moore was
chosen chairman of the building com-
mittee and empowered to select any
other four members of the board as
his co-workers.
Before adjournment all the papers
in connection with architect Wright's
plans and estimates for remodeling
the hospital were turned over to Mr.
Moore and he was asked to lose no
time in communicating with that gen-
tleman and arrange for a visit to Belle-
fonte at the earliest possible date, so
as to get the benefit of his advice in
connection with beginning work on the
improvements to be made at the hos-
pital as the result of the recent drive
which resulted in almost one hundred
thousand dollars being raised.
The board also decided that the
committee appointed by the Kiwanis
club, and the organization it had made
for the collection of the pledges to-
ward the big fund, should continue ef-
fective for the time being.
The second Tuesday of each month,
at 7:30 o'clock p. m., was decided up-
on as the time for regular meetings,
and the place of holding same at the
hospital.
The meeting on Monday evening
brought to the hospital men who per-
haps never before had been inside the
institution and they were all natural-
ly much impressed with what they
saw.
ASSETS OF THE BELLEFONTE HOS-
PITAL TURNED OVER TO
NEW BOARD.
On Tuesday H. E. Fenlon, treas-
urer of the Bellefonte hospital, turned
over to president George Hazel, of the
Centre county hospital, all cash and
securities in his hands. Expressed in
cash the sum amounted to approxi-
mately $15,732.06, itemized as fol-
lows:
Balance in general fund - - $391.49
Balance in subscription fund - 1895.14
Certificates of deposit - - 2545.45
U. 8. Liberty Loan Bonds - 2500.00
War Saving Certificates - 2400.00
43 shares preferred and 43 shares
common stock of Federal Match
Co. estimated at - - - 5000.00
Also Building and Loan Asso. book
of the value of approximately $1800.-
00, this representing the saving
against the payment for the Hess
property which was bought for use as
a nurses home and carried in the B.
and L. as a current expense.
Insurance policies on the buildings
aggregated $27,500.00, $8,000.00 on
the furniture and equipment and
$2,500.00 on the laundry equipment.
This represents the nucleus the
board of the Bellefonte hospital had
conserved through gifts of Harriet
Thomas Kurtz, F. W. Crider, L. Olin
Meek, and others, and such amounts
as were raised by various local enter-
tainments for the purpose of perma-
nent endowments, and does not in-
clude any of the money already paid
in on the recent big drive which now
totals in the neighborhood of $32,000
cash in the several banks of the coun-
ty.

Fly Campaign to be Conducted by
Boy Scouts.
One thousand fly swatters with the
same amount of State health posters
will be distributed by the boy scouts
as their contribution to the fly cam-
paign being conducted throughout the
State by the Department of Health.
The swatters have been provided
through the generosity of the Belle-
fonte Trust company and surely when
the swatter is carried to your door
you will do your part and swat every
fly you see. Mr. Brown kindly showed
at the Scenic a series of slides on the
fly, furnished by the State Depart-
ment of Health, and the Red Cross
nurse has visited thirty-five schools,
giving talks on the fly, and has dis-
tributed over five hundred pieces of
literature urging a clean-up as the
surest means of preventing the breed-
ing of flies.
“Every fly is the potential ancestor
of millions of other flies. The destrue-
tion of flies by swatters not only re-
duces their actual numbers but for-
ever precludes the possibilities of their
adding to the future fly population.”—
Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Public Immersion Drew Large Crowd.
A public dipping of a large number
of converts, the result of evangelistic
meetings being held in this vicinity
by three Gospel Workers, was held at
Milesburg on Sunday afternoon, and
drew a large crowd of spectators. The
dipping took place in Bald Eagle
creek, opposite Frank Wetzler’s store,
and so dense was the crowd that traf-
fic on the highway was blocked until
the services were over. The number
of converts dipped is variously re-
ported at from forty to fifty, the rit-
ual following an outdoor sermon by
one of the Gospel Workers.

Celebrated Birthday Anniversaries,
Jacob Griffin celebrated his seven-
ty-third birthday anniversary on Sun-
day with a family gathering at his
home in Stormstown. Fifteen grand-
children and three great grand-chil-
dren were present.
On Monday Mrs. Margaret Smith,
of Centre Hall, was ninety-two years
old and the event was quietly cele-
brated by a little family gathering at
her home in that place on Sunday.
Notwithstanding her advanced age
Mrs. Smith enjoys remarkably good
health.

Peggy U’Deli Again on the Front
Page.
Peggy U’Dell, the ‘pretty Follies
girl who two years ago drew consid-
erable front page notoriety through
being defendant in an annulment of
marriage proceeding instituted by a
young man of Bellefonte, got on the
front page this week as the result of
an action for divorce and non-support
brought by her against her second
husband, Jimmy Conzelman, an ath-
letic star and song writer. Peggy
says Jimmy took her to Chicago to
live in one room and board with his
mother, and that she washed his socks,
handkerchiefs and shirts; cooked,
scrubbed and did many things she
never had done before, but the Con-
zelman family was too much for her.
Any person who saw Peggy when she
visited Bellefonte in the fall of 1922
can imagine her washing and scrub-
bing. :
A Boarding Home for Children.
Mrs. Mary Kane has now five chil-
dren in her boarding home for chil-
dren, at Roopsburg. It is fortunate
for homeless kiddies that some one
wants them and will give them an at-
tractive home and good board for the
reasonable sum of five dollars a week.
Mrs. Kane owns and has entirely
renovated the old Haas home with es-
pecial thought for the needs of little
ones. An illustration of the value of
such an enterprise in a community
was given this week when a mother,
a foreigner, became so seriously ill
that she had to be taken to the hos-
pital immediately, leaving three small
children in the home with no one to
care for them, as the father could not
afford to leave his work. He was
willing to pay for the care of his
children and the Red Cross nurse put
them temporarily in the borough
home. This institution is not well
adapted for the care of children and
their removal was requested. The al-
most distracted nurse happily thought
of Mrs. Kane’s boarding home and soon
the three lonely and homesick little
ones were transferred there awaiting
the recovery of their mother, and last
seen of them looked happy and con-
tented.

Can Use Old Appropriation for Con-
struction at Rockview.
Deputy Attorney General Schna-
der on Tuesday handed down an opin-
ion in which he advised that the three
hundred thousand dollar appropria-
tion passed by the 1921 session of the
Legislature for construction work at
the Rickview penitentiary, and most
of which has not been used because
the building operations at that insti-
tution were held up for various rea-
sons, is available for the prompt pay-
ment of contractors now engaged on
the renewed construction.
This position is directly contrary to
that of Auditor General Lewis, who
has held up payments because of con-
flicts in the administrative code and
the appropriation. These conflicts are
admitted by Schnader in the opinion,
but he cites section 8 of the code
which transfers powers to make un-
expended appropriations available.
Unless this section is unconstitu-
tional the payments can be made
under that provision, said Schnader.
The act of 1921 made an appropria-
tion of $300,000 to the board of in-
spectors of the western penitentiary
which has been abolished by the ad-
ministrative code.
Catching Big Fish.
The season has not been propitious,
but every once in a while the real pis-
catorialist looks at the thermometer,
takes a squint at the sky, goes to the
calendar to see the stage of the moon,
then ambles down to the stream to
see the condition of the water and, if
all is just like it was on the day years
ago when he made a killing, the
wheels of industry are jammed with
fishing tackle and visions of a mess of
trout for breakfast or some sick
friend.
Last Wednesday Frank Kern saw
all the signs. Everything was right
but the water. It was a bit cloudy so
he took minnows and went down about
the fair grounds. He came home with
four. One measured 23% inches and
weighed 5 pounds, another was 19
inches long and the other two meas-
ured 18 inches each.
The next evening, Thursday, the
water had cleared up, the tempera-
ture, the moon and the sky were about
the same so Dr. Kilpatrick “flivvied”
himself up to the “horse hole” just
above the Roopsburg school house.
He used a large “cowdung” and a
“willow” fly. When he was exhausted
in the effort to keep a 5 ounce rod and
light tackle from breaking he had one
that was 23 inches, one 22, one 19 and
one 17 in his creel.
All of which goes to prove that they
are there if you know the time, the
food they are taking and have the
skill to land them.
SUNDAY GRIST OF
| AUTO ACCIDENTS.
One Car Plunged Through Railing of
i Milesburg Bridge into Bald
Eagle Creek.
Sunday brought its usual grist of
auto accidents and although there
were a number of miraculous escapes
‘no deaths resulted and only one per-
son was injured seriously enough to
‘send him to the hospital.
the most remarkable accident of all
happened to G. W. Caldwell and wife,
of Jersey Shore. They were on their
way home from visiting Mr. Cald-
well’s brother in Clearfield, in a Bu-
ick sports model car. At the Miles-
burg bridge Mr. Caldwell was too
slow in making the turn onto the
bridge with the result that his car
piunged through the railing and down
into the creek, carrying both occu-
pants with it. The accident happened
about 7:30 o’clock and in a very few
minutes a large crowd gathered at
the bridge, naturally horrified over the
possibility of finding Mr. and Mrs.
Caldwell both dead, but strange as it
may seem, neither one was seriously
injured and were soon rescued from
the submerged car. They went home
by train the same evening and on
Monday the Deitrick-Dunlap Cadillac
company raised the car from the creek
and towed it to their garage in Belle-
fonte for repairs.
A peculiar accident happened at the
Underwood farm, near Unionville,
about eleven o’clock on Sunday morn-
ing. The State Highway oiling gang
are at work on the Bald Eagle road
and on Saturday the big tank oiler
got stuck in the ditch at the Under-
wood farm. Several hundred gallons
| of oil were dumped into the ditch in
order to reduce the weight of the load
so the big truck could be gotten back
onto solid ground. Sunday forenoon
a Mr. Malone and son, of Tyrone,
were on their way to Lock Haven to
attend a funeral and when they struck
the freshly oiled road their car skid-
ded and landed in the ditch right
where the big quantity of oil had been
dumped. They were compelled to en-
gage the services of a tractor to pull
their car back onto the road, and
though the top of the car was badly
damaged and the auto badly smeared
with road oil, it was able to run and
the two men proceeded on their way.
On Sunday evening Cordice Cham-
bers and John Pinchock, eighteen
year old son of George Pinchock, were
motoring near Clarence when their
car was ditched and upset. Chambers
escaped injury but Pinchock was
brought to the Bellefonte hospital
where it was found that he had sus-
tained several fractured ribs and oth-
er injuries, though his condition is not
considered critical.
A party of four people from Win-
burne, in a Ford car, were on their
way to Snow Shoe on Sunday after-
{noon when a blowout wrecked their
car, near the concrete bridge over
Beech creek. The car turned turtle
and one man suffered a fractured col-
lar bone while all the occupants were
more or less injured. They were tak-
en to their homes in Winburne.
Quite a number of minor accidents
were reported from various sections
of the county, but the result in each
case was only a damaged car.

Features of the Band Concert.
The Odd Fellows band gave the sec-
ond of its summer concerts Wednes-
day evening and delighted a large au-
dience. The organization is playing
so smoothly now that its real superi-
ority as a concert band must be ap-
parent to even the untrained lover of
music. With only twenty pieces the
parts were splendidly balanced Wed-
nesday night and the execution in all
movements about as fine as any one
has reason to expect from a volun-
teer band.
The program was varied by the in-
terpolation of a song by Master Irvin
Martin and a duet in which his little
sister joined singing alto to Irvin's
soprano in a most pleasing rendition.
Paul Crust and Harold Wion, two
of the youngér musicians in the or-
ganization, contributed cornet and
trombone solos, respectively, so nicely
executed that we could scarcely real-
ize that they have been under the di-
rection of band-master Bryan little
more than a year.
Mr. Louie Geist, of Johnstown, ten-
or, in splendid voice, and with profes-
sional artistry, sang three songs that
contributed much to the charm of the
program. .

Seriously Hurt at State College.
Oliver Burrows, who makes his
home with E. S. Moore, on the Mitch-
ell farm west of Pine Grove, was very
seriously injured at State College on
Wednesday.
He had gone down to the College to
transact some business and was just
in the act of getting into his car to
return home when another machine
side-swiped his, knocking him down
and dragging him a considerable dis-
tance. Several ribs were broken and
he suffered painful lacerations and
other injuries. The unfortunate man
was taken to the Moore home where
it was reported yesterday that he is
in a serious condition.
——W. R. Bierly, who for several
years past has been conducting a
book printing plant in Philadelphia,
writes the “Watchman” that he has
sold his plant and “moved out of Nut-
ville and Graft Elyseum.” He has
gone to Harrisburg where he will con-
tinue to edit the Quarterly Digest of
Pennsylvania Decisions and other law
publications.

the Bellefonte hospital at that time, he
remained there under the care of the sur-
geons here until it was thought advisable
to take him to Williamsport.
—Mrs. George B. Thompson, who has
been with Mr. Thompson's sister, Mrs.
Crossman, at Oaks, for six weeks or
more, under the care of Philadelphia spe-
cialists, is now thought to be improving
and in the opinion of her physicians will
recover. Owing to the seriousness of Mrs.
Thompson's condition she will remain east

cial treatment her case requires.

Bellefonte Continues Winning Streak
in Centre County League.
The Bellefonte nine continues its
winning streak in the Centre county
baseball league with Millheim tagging
along only a few games behind, Last
Thursday’s contests resulted as fol-
lows: Bellefonte 7, State College 5;
Millheim 3, Centre Hall 2, On Satur-
day Bellefonte blanked Millheim, the
score being 10 to 0, while Centre Hall
defeated State 7 to 0.
In this game the Bellefonte team
played gilt-edged ball, Harshbarger’s
pitching being the big feature. But
twenty-eight men faced him in nine
innings and not one reached second
base. His support was also airtight,
seventeen assists being recorded.
Rutherford’s hit was a simon pure
double but by cutting first base he
was thrown out enabling “Harshey”
to enter the no hit hall of fame.
The local outfit also had their bat-
ting togs on on Saturday. Fifteen
healthy swats rattled off their blud-
geons, Gingerich leading with four.
Malone’s sparkling catch off Musser’s
bat in the seventh was a beauty,
another good hit gone wrong. Smith’s
catching has also meant much for the
success of the Bellefonte team, his
headwork being so far superior to any
backstop in the league. Following is
the standing of the clubs:
