Total Eclipse of the Sun will Occur
Tomorrow.
Old Mother Earth, or at least a por-
tion of it, will be shrouded in dark-
ness tomorrow morning when the new
moon gets in the pathway of the sun
and shuts off its rays for a brief time
only. The eclipse will be total oveir a
one hundred mile wide pathway, lead-
ing from northern Minnesota a little
south of east through Michigan, On-
tario, south-western New York aand
north-eastern Pennsylvania. At
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton the eclipse
will be total, but it will be only par-
tial in Bellefonte and Centre county.
But the greater part of the sun will be
obscured and if the day is fair resi-
dents of this section of the State will
have an opportunity of witnessing a
sight such as will not occur again for
one hundred years.
While the exact minute when the
eclipse will be at its maximum for
Centre county observers cannot be
told it will be between 9:05 and 9:15
o'clock. The eclipse will start short-
ly after eight o’clock in the morning
and when it has reached its maximum
so much of the sun will be covered
that only a small per cent. of daylight
will remain. But this condition will
prevail only a few minutes and by
9:30 o'clock it will be light enough for
ordinary work while the eclipse will
officially terminate at 10:24 o’clock.
Astronomers everywhere have com-
pleted arrangements for the most
thorough investigations of the eclipse
as well as the taking of photographs
with the most powerful lenses in ex-
istence. It is just possible that new
discoveries will also be made. It was
through a partial eclipse of the sun
that helium was discovered, and ob-
servations will be conducted to ascer-
tain, if possible, the presence of ¢or-
onium, a gaseous substance which
astronomers have not yet definitely
located.
All in all, the eclipse will be a spec-
tacle well worth watching. Smoked
glass can be used to watch its ad-
vance from the time the moon enters
the pathway of the sun but when the
eclipse attains its maximum it will be
so pronounced that it can easily be
seen with the naked eye.

Recent Arrivals.
Mr. and Mrs. John Clark are receiv-
ing congratulations upon the birth of
a daughter, on Sunday, January 18th,
at their home in Buffalo Run valley.
. A little daughter was born to Mr.
and Mrs. R. R. Dobelbower, at the
Centre County hospital last Friday.
It has been named Eleanor Mitchell
Dobelbower. The mother, prior to
her marriage was Miss Deborah Lyon,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Por-
ter Lyon.
——Residents of Tyrone, Altoona
and a number of other surrounding
towns are becoming greatly excited
over the possibility of the air mail
landing field being moved from Belle-
fonte, when there isn’t anything to get
excited about. The present field just
outside the borough limits of Belle-
fonte may be abandoned but there are
several suitable locations in close
proximity that are being considered
and one of which will eventually be
chosen. In fact every indication now
points to a very much improved and
enlarged plant in Bellefonte just as
soon as the weather opens up in the
spring.
McCARGAR.—Mrs. Mary J. Mec-
Cargar, widow of the late J. S. Me-
Cargar, died last Friday afternoon at.
the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Sei-
bert, on Pine street, as the result of
several year’s illness with chronic ne-
phritis, though her condition was not
considered serious until several weeks
prior to her death.
She was a daughter of Roderick and
Lois Reitty Granger and was born at
Towanda on February 22nd, 1855,
hence was almost seventy years old.
As a young woman she married Mr.
McCargar and thirty years ago they
came to Bellefonte and this had been
her home ever since. Mr. McCargar
died almost three years ago and a
year later she sold her house and
since that time had made her home
with Mr. and Mrs. Seibert. She was a
life-long member of the Methodist
church and for years a regular attend-
ant. She had no children and her
only survivor is one brother, Alexan-
der Granger, of Towanda.
The funeral was held on Monday
morning. Rev. E. E. McKelvey had
charge of the services and burial was
made in the Union cemetery.
7
DOLL.—Edward I. Doll died at his
home in Altoona at 1:30 o'clock on
Tuesday morning following two year’s
illness. He was a son of Louis and
Regina Doll and was born in Belle-
fonte on January 17th, 1881, hence
was 44 years and 3 days old. He was
a machinist by occupation and prior
to his illness worked in the Juniata
machine shops of the Pennsylvania
railroad. He was a member of the
Catholic church, the Holy Name soci-
ety and the Pennsylvania relief asso-
ciation.
He is survived by his wife and four
children, Miss Margaret, a student
nurse in the Mercy hospital, Pitts-
burg; Helen, Max and Robert at home.
He also leaves four brothers and one
sister, William, George and Frank
Doll, and Mrs. Rose Pearl], all of Belle-
fonte, .and Louis Doll, of Franklin.
Funeral services will be held in St.
Mark’s Catholic church, Altoona, at 9
o’clock this (Friday) morning, burial
to be made in the Calvary cemetery in
that place. i
FAITALUR.—Louis Faitalur, the |
Austrian who fell from the railroad
trestle south of Bellefonte into the icy
waters of Logan’s branch on Sunday
evening, January 11th, and was res-
cued in a half frozen and unconscious
condition by Curt Gingery with the
assistance of some boys, died at the
Centre County hospital on Monday of
lobar pneumonia, the result of expos-
ure. He was sixty-five years old and
afflicted with rheumatism, and it is
thought that this was the cause of
his falling from the trestle. Very lit-
tle is known in regard to the man.
His only relative in this country is a
cousin, Yac ‘Kuias, who stated that
he knew he was a widower and was a
man of some means. Burial was made
in the Catholic cemetery on Wednes-
day morning, Rev. Father Downes of-
ficiating.

WOODS.—Winfield S. Woods died
at his home along the Tyrone pike, in
Rush township, on Tuesday morning,
following a prolonged illness with
Bright's disease and dropsy. He was
born at Julian in November, 1851,
but the greater part of his life had
been spent in the vicinity of Philips-
burg where he followed the occupation
of a teamster. In 1870 he married
Miss Ellen Stone, of Julian, who died
eight years ago, but surviving him are
three sons, William and Winfield, of
Rush township, and John, of Clays-
burg. Burial was made in the Phil- |
ipsburg cemetery yesterday afternoon. |

BOWDEN.—Mrs. Grace E. Bowden, |
wife of Clair V. Bowden, died at her
home at Oaks, Montgomery county,
early last week following a brief ill-
ness. She was a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Hiram Lee and was born in Col-
lege township, Centre county. In ad-
dition to her husband she is survived
by two small children, Lee and Betty.
She also leaves her father, living at
State College. Burial was made in
the Green Tree cemetery, at Oaks,
last Friday afternoon.
a )
LEYMAN.—Michael Mills Leyman,
a native of Centre county, died at his
home in McKeesport last Friday, of
general debility. He was born at Mt. '
Eagle and was almost eighty years:
old. He was a contractor and the
greater part of his life was spent in |
the western part of the State. His |
wife, three sons, three daughters, one
brother and a sister survive. Burial |
was made at McKeesport on Monday |
afternoon. |
——Tax collector Herbert Auman |
this week had two tax delinquents ar- |
rested and sent to jail for the non-
payment of their taxes. Other infor- |
mations have been made and if the de- .
linquents do not come across with the |
cash Sheriff Taylor is due to receive a |
lot of new boarders.
——An overheated coal oil stove
set fire to the bath room in the home
of Robert Woodring, on Howard
street, Bellefonte, last Saturday night

——The Centre county association
of Philadelphia will hold its next mid- |
winter dinner and dance at the Belle- :
vue-Stratford hotel on Saturday .
night, February 7th. Over three hun-
dred family invitations have been sent
out. : .
——The deepest snow of the win-
ter so far fell on Monday night and
Tuesday, about eight inches all told.
Seventy-two Degrees Below Zero in
Canada.
Many Centre countians have gone
to Florida this winter to avoid the
cold weather of this northern climate
but compared with Canada Pennsylva-
nia is almost a torrid State, according
to our old friend, Will Truckenmiller.
The lowest the thermometer has been
in Bellefonte this winter was three de-
grees below zero while up in Canada
—but we’ll let Mr. Truckenmiller tell
the story in his own way in the fol-
lowing communication:
Blackfalds, Alberta, Can., Jan. 12.
Editor “Watchman:”
I see your readers are grumbling
about the severity of the weather, five
to ten degrees below zero. Now let
me tell you of some real winter
weather.
Just one month ago today it began
raining, a pouring rain for twenty-
four hours, then a blinding, driving
snow storm for two days, and when
it ended three feet of snow had fallen
and the drifts were four to eight feet
deep. Then the thermometer began to
drop and went on down until it reach-
ed seventy-two degrees below zero.
For a week all rail and team traffic
was at a stand-still, then it warmed
up. The snow plows were: brought
out, freight trains began moving, the
country roads were opened up, grain
began coming in to the elevators,
cream and stock shipments were re-
sumed and business settled down into
its normal course. When the mercury
gets up to zero we all open doors and
windows and complain of the heat.
Times are brightening up here.
Prices are good. Last year’s crops
were fair and everybody is hopeful. as this that make one realize that '
Fur farming is a great business here,
and so is the growing of fine wheat
and breeding high-class dairy cows.
Some of the latter produce twenty-
four thousand pounds of milk a year,
testing four per cent. butter fat.
Yours sincerely,
WILL TRUCKENMILLER.
State College Service to People |
Published.
The most complete record ever com-
piled of one year’s history and work
at The Pennsylvania State College is
contained in a booklet just published
by the college. It is called “The Serv-
ice of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege to the Commonwealth” and con-
tains the 1923-24 annual report of
President John M. Thomas and other
officers of the college.
The report is addressed officially to
members of the State Legislature by
Judge H. Walton Mitche!l, president
of the College board of trustees, as
required by a Pennsylvania law ac-
cepting the Morrill land grant act of
Congress. The first copies of the 128-
page book have already been sent to |
members of the State Legislatuf®.,
Others will be distributed among
“alumni and friends of Penn State.
One of the features of the report is
the most extensive accounting of col-
lege funds ever published by the
comptroller, R. H. Smith. It shows
that the cost of operating the college
for the year 1923-24 was more than
twice the sum received from the State
for all purposes. The total cost of
operation was $2,693,359.43 and the
income from the State for the period
was only $1,125,054.24. Student fees
had to be increased to secure a good
portion of the difference.
Lewistown.
E. E. “Red” Davis, former assistant
deputy warden at the Rockview peni-
tentiary, was acquitted of the charge
of murder at Lewistown last Thurs-
day. He was tried for the killing of
John Mullen, of Jersey Shore, at Lew-
istown on September 26th. While at
Lewistown on the hunt of an escaped
prisoner Davis joined Mullen at a
campfire he had established on the
outskirts of Lewistown in the hope of
obtaining information as to the
whereabouts of the man he was hunt-
ing. |
Mullen had a concoction of bay rum
and Davis joined him in one ‘drink. |
Davis claimed that the shooting was |
accidental, as his revolver was dis-
charged when he was in the act of
withdrawing it from the holster to
show to Davis.
John Francies, of Pittsburgh, for-
mer warden at Rockview; sheriff E. R.
Taylor, register Harry Rossman and
county commissioner Harry Austin, of
Centre county, as well as a number of
Pittsburgh and Johnstown business
men, were character witnesses for Mr.
Davis. The jury was out but thirty-
five minutes when they returned a
verdict of not guilty. Davis is now
living in Altoona, the place of his for-
mer home.

"IN THE MOUNTAINS
OF CHINA LAND.
Chinese Summer Resorts, - Ancient
Temples, Etc., Described by
Dr. W. R. North.
(Concluded from last week).
Kwanksien, China, July 8, 1924.
Dear Home Folks:
Market day in a Chinese town
means several things. First, it means
crowds—crowds relatively as large as
those on Fifth Avenue at four o’clock
in the afternoon. Here is a man sell-
ing cabbages, egg plant, and kohl ra-
bi. There is a man with a cow for
sale. In another spot a vender of
sweetmeats shouts his wares, or beats
on a piece of metal to attract custom-
ers. The restaurants are busy, and
you are sure of a delicious meal, if
you wait your turn, and don’t mind
too much a few ill smells and dirty
surroundings. I say delicious advis-
edly, for in Jade Hall Market I had
one of the best meals of Chinese food
that I have ever tasted. When I come
home to America I hope to be able to
bring with me the knowledge of how
{it is done, for I know you will like it.
Market day also means beggars and
fakirs. On this particular day I saw
a woman—young and not bad looking
—dirty as any child in the slums of
{ New York’s East Side, clad in tatters,
' hunching—I don’t know an adequate
word in English—along, led by a
small child, perhaps three years old,
attached to her by a string. You peo-
: ple at home doubtless think I am ex-
aggerating. I'm not. I took a pic-
ture of her, and hope to let you see it
| when it is printed. It is such sights
| China, in spite of the oldest continual
! civilization in the world, needs some-
! thing she doesn’t have.
Well, I could tell you many more
things of interest about market day,
but if I stay with you in Yu Tang
Chang all day, we won’t reach Chin
Chen Shan before dark, and we have a
long climb ahead of us, I am told. We
continue to see sights similar to those
already mentioned. We see small
water wheels, propelled by the current
{ of the irrigation ditches, raising water
[to the level of the rice paddies above
i them. We meet travelers who ask us
‘where we are from, where we are
; going, etec., the usual list of questions.
| Some are satisfied with a brief reply.
Some step outside of the path, appar-
i ently not certain what we are going
jto do with them. Mothers now and
! then turn their babies’ heads away
that the Evil Eye of the foreigner
may not harm the little ones. We
pass several temples, for nearing Chin
Chen Shan we seem to come to a re-
gion especially sacred. At last we en-
ter the ravine leading up to the moun-
1
grims, both men and women, resting
for the next part of the climb. All
' classes gather in a very democratic
i fashion. The Chinese are past mas-
‘ters at the art of resting—“swaing”
—and visiting. The women, many of
them, are smoking pipes of tobacco
that look as if they would soon put
even an accustomed smoker at home
out of business. Erom my limited ob-
servation I am of the opinion that out
here the women smoke as much as the
men, if not more, largely because the
. have more leisure. 8
We have rested enough. We mus
! push on. The next stage is steeper.
| We come to long flights of steps. Op-
“Red” Davis Acquitted of Murder at posite us is a magnificent cliff, tow-
i ering high above. After a time—too
| long, it seems to some of us, we reach
another place to rest. It is built be-
side a “pai fang,” or memorial arch,
very likely to a virtuous widow, who
refused all further offers after the
death of her husband. Here we are
initiated into the mystery of “lao
dzi,” rice that has begun to ferment.
It is boiled and served hot. It is not
bad, although I must confess that my
taste for alcohol is not so strong that
I care for the flavor in my rice. But
then I did not violate the Volstead
Act. I think the boiling had removed
| the intoxicating tendency. At least
my Quaker companion assured me so,
and I felt no after effects.
The last stage of the journey fills
us with delight. We pass through a
ravine filled with trees and shrubs, our
path wending in and out along the
walls of the cliff on our right. Now
we look far down into the depths be-
low us. Again we are amazed at the
overhanging walls of conglomerate |
that seem almost to threaten our
progress. Up and up we go, until we
come upon a small stone bridge. We
. look off to our left toward the head of
the gorge and see pinned precarious-
ly on the side of the cliff, apparently,
the object of our journey: Tien Si
Dong. But it seems a long way for-
ward and up. We climb on, cross a
i covered wooden bridge, turn to the
left, and find ourselves at the portals.
| We are a bit dismayed to find anoth-
er long flight of steps inside the por-
‘tals. We sit on a balcony overhang-
ing the ravine until we get our breath,
and make a final effort. We are at
our journey’s end. A pleasant Taoist
priest—Dao Dzi— shows us our
rooms, fine new ones. Mrs.
breathes a sigh of relief: “No fle~s
or bed bugs here.” From our win-
dows we look out on the plain below,
across a ravine that is a jungle of fo-
liage.
Next morning we are up early, and
climb up the mountain behind us, for
the temple is far from the summit.
We wander on and on, up and up,
wishing now and then that we had had
our breakfast first. - We are in a gar-

den of natural beauty. Overhanging |
can’t get through, a “dim, religious”
light, little shrines perched in con-
spicuous places, a temple or shrine
built in front of a cliff, with a cave
behind it, and at last a page out of
the romance of Robin Hood! A for-
est of tall, stately trees, their trunks
covered with a beautiful green moss,
and beneath a carpet of the same sort.
These front a similar temple. We
have reached the high point of our
journey, both for altitude and for
beauty. But hunger calls us back to
breakfast. ‘Then we continue our
journeyings during the two whole
days we are the guests of the priests
here. We are ambitious to see all we
can. We come upon small summer
houses, perched beside cool, quiet
mountain brooks. We sit and read.
We make pathways for ourselves
through the jungle, and almost fall
off a cliff, for we can find no way
down. We hike over a path back of
the temples to see the Jin Bien Ngai
(Golden Scroll Cliff), and are amazed
‘and delighted as we turn a bend in
the path amongst the corn fields to
see towering majestically before us
massive cliffs of conglomerate, the
‘rear of the masses that form the ra-
vine and the natural garden of the
temple property. The name Golden
Scroll is given by a streak of yellow
stain on the rock, supposed by the
i people to be a scroll from heaven. The
path leads wus through corn fields
i where we have wonderful views of the
: mountains behind the plain, many of
; them cultivated almost to the top, and
| almost exclusively given over to the
i growing of corn. After a long jour-
| ney around the curving cliffs through
| magnificently tall evergreen trees we
come back to the road by which we
| first entered the ravine.
But we are not yet satisfied. We
climb to still another temple, where
{ we find beautiful blue hydrangeas that
| would make the flower enthusiasts at
i home rave. An old priest lives by
{ himself there, apparently happy and
| contented. We return to the main
temple and observe the sights there.
. Crowds of people coming and going
make the main temple a sort of ka-
leidoscope. It furnishes a constantly
changing scene. Here is a well-to-do
man from Penghsien, apparently an
official or a merchant of means, who
has come here, not so much to wor-
ship, as to enjoy the coolness of the
' mountains, and to visit with his peers
‘in a beautiful spot. He is amiable
and good-looking, in spite of the two
long fingernails, probably the pride of
his life. Here is a student from a
i government school in -Chengtu. He
‘has come to enjoy the scenery, the
! breezes, the association with other
| students, and to study some subjects
jin which he is deficient. Here is an
i old woman from Chengtu who enjoys
| the mountain resort, at the same time
conveniently doing her religious du-
ty in Worshiping the idols by bowing
before them, and by placing lighted
incense sticks before them. There are
a group of farmers or coolies with
armsful of joss sticks, making the
rounds of all the temples and idols.
Here is a group worshiping the huge
banyan tree outside our window. It
is larger than any other tree about the
place, and is of such a peculiar shape,
that of course it ought to be divine.
The priest very accommodatingly dei-
fies it, therefore.
Here is a fine recreation hall. It
has tables and chairs; shrubs, tiny
grottoes in the gardens about it give
it a fashionable air. It invites the
soul on recreation bent. Here in a
dingy hole is a place where the wretch
of an opium smoker can get his crav-
ing satisfied. In another corner a
venerable old man with the head cov-
ering of the priest sells sweetmeats
and notions. He used to be the ab-
bot of the temple, until it leaked out
that he had three wives, whereas he as
a priest was supposed to be celibate.
But the Chinese are longsuffering,
and he remains in the temple.
Are the Chinese really devout? Yes
and no. Many of the women seem to
be, and some of the men, especially
the laboring class, but the so-called
better classes look upon idol worship
as a superstition. They are not Chris-
tians, but they are not ignorant heath-
en. The faithfulness of the women is
pitiful. They climb to the very top
temple, in spite of their tiny bound
feet, carrying armfuls of joss sticks,
and seem happy withal. But life in
such a place, even for a few days, be-
comes rather oppressive. The place
does not seem a piece of God's Great
Out-of-Doors. It seems of another
category. We are ready to return to
our summer home, even though that
be in a temple; for that temple has
little of the trappings of heathendom
to vitiate the atmosphere.

Bellefonte High School Loses and
Wins at Basket Ball.
The Bellefonte High school basket
ball team played two league games
! last week, losing one and winning the
other. At Huntingdon, on Friday
night, they went down in defeat be-
fore the High school team of ' that
place in an unusually hard fought
game, the score being 22 to 17 in fa-
vor of Huntingdon. Capt. Emel did
the best work in this game.
! On Saturday evening the Bellefonte
boys defeated Mt. Union, at the lat-
ter place, 25 to 21. Bellefonte’s fine
playing in the first half gave them the
victory as Mt. Union outplayed the lo-
cals in the second half.
Tomorrow evening Hollidaysburg
will play Bellefonte on the armory
floor and fans are urged to turn out
and see the game.

Automobile Repair Students Increase.
Automobile owners who desire to
learn how to make their own ordinary
repairs are enrolling in a new home
study course in automotives that has
been introduced by the engineering
extension department of The Pennsyl-
vania State College.
This newer sort of college student,
the “home study” chap in automobile
mechanics, usually knows where to
look for his own engine troubles, and
because Penn State has helped him,
can make his own repairs. There is
"also an advanced course for garage
men and car owners who want to get
the knack of making major repairs to
engine or chassis. Like all other cor-
respondence courses offered by the en-
gineering extension department . of
State College, the automotive courses
are offered at cost of production and
correction of lesson papers, because
public funds are used for this special
service to the people of the State.
Women may enroll in these courses as
well as men, and can start at any
time.

mittee county agent R. C. Blaney has
