Dear Mother and All: When I wrote to Berenice more than three weeks ago I fully intended to get a letter off to you the following week. Where the time has gone to I don’t know. I planned when I came to the mountains to get caught up with my correspondence, but our va- cation is almost half gone and I have not accomplished anything in the way of letter writing. If only there were not so many other things to take one’s attention. There are thirteen fami- lies or more of foreigners here now crowded into three temples and we! have a great many interruptions. Ev- en our mornings, when we plan to spend all of our time studying Chi- ‘nese, are so broken into that we feel we have accomplished nothing. But I guess we are making some progress. I am working hard every day on the first five hundred characters. We are supposed to be able to write them so as to be examined in them soon after we return to school in the fall. It’s no easy task, I assure you. Sometimes I feel as though it’s almost a hopeless task, but, surely some day I'll be able to write the crazy things. Daddy, the next time you read the first ten chapters of the Gospel of John (Yohan Fuyin) think of Bill and me reading them in Chinese. It’s the worst thing in the way of Language Study that I've tried to tackle yet, But it, like the five hundred charac- ters, I also hope to get some day and I certainly hope I'll be able to retain it so that I can read it for you when I come home. I've heard of some folks being asked to repeat the Lord’s. Prayer in Chinese when they’ve been home on furlough, and being embar- rassed to death because they couldn’t do it I do hope my Chinese will stay with me while I'm on furlough. T’'m | getting now so that I think more! quickly in Chinese than in English and am often at loss for an English word when I can instantly think of a Chi- nese character to express my mean- ing. Today the ‘June 6th copy of the “Watchman” reached me, I was sorry to see the notice of Dr. Wilcox’s death. It makes us realize how many changes will have taken place by the time we return home. We have not yet been gone a year and already many of our friends and acquain- tances have died . And weve had announcements of three weddings since we reached Kwanhsien. Your letter of May 25th reached me about three weeks ago. I hope by this time you are having some warm weather to make up for the cool spring. How I wish you could all be here with us on the mountains. The weather certainly is delightful. Here ! it is almost the last of July and we don’t know what it is to be really warm, unless we take a trip down to | Kwanhsien City or climb the fours] tains, and then it is the exercise which makes you warm. I'm sitting on our verandah now and there is the loveiest | breeze blowing. In fact this morning ' when I was sitting here studying I° had to put on my sweater. Two weeks ago to-day, Miss Hutch- insen, an English lady, Bill, and I took a trip to a temple located on the “Green City Mountain” (Chin Cheu | San) a distance of about sixty li, or' 20 miles from here. We walked the whole way and I tell you I was pretty tired when we climbed the last flight of steps up into the temple. The scenery on the mountain was beauti- ful, though, and the temple itself very attractive. We stayed there Thursday and Friday and made the return trip on Saturday. The accommodations for | foreigners there are not very good, however. There are so many natives ; there worshiping, and we had our rooms right close to their quarters. The first night it was so noisy we could get very little sleep. The Chi- nese never seem to go to bed, for at least, that’s the way it sems to us. Bill has written quite a long descrip- tion of our trip to Chin Cheu San, so I won’t go into detail. When we left there Saturday morning for the re- turn trip, it was raining. But I was anxious to get back home and so we started out in the rain. It was rather slippery coming down the mountain roads, but when we reached the plain it was raining very little and walking was fine. Because I became so tired on the trip over, Bill sent for his wha- gau(a seat swing between two poles and carried by two men) to meet me and carry me part way home. It met me about ten li out of Kwanhsieu and I was grateful for a lift, though I i was getting along pretty well. The 1 . poles weren't strong enough for my hundred and fifty pounds, though for just about three li out from Kwan- hsieu one pole broke and I almost went down into the ditch. We had to stop in Kwanhsieu and buy new poles, which took over an hour and I was anxious to get home early. But you just can’t hurry the Chinese. Part ot the time when we were waiting for the pole to be changed, I sat in a little shop beside a woman who was hold- ing a baby that was just covered with what looked like boils. I asked the woman what “bin” (sickness) the child had, and she replied “do do”, Well, I didn’t know any more than I did before. But afterwards I asked Miss Hutchinson about it she said it was small-pox. I had never heard small-pox called by that term. The only term I knew for it was “tieu” wha’ which means “heavenly flower.” Well, I'm expecting to develop small- pox any day, now, but I hope I won’t. Changing chair poles out here is like changing tires on an automobile at home. But chair poles are a little cheaper. My new poles on my wha gau cost 1,800 cash or about 25c¢ gold. When we reached our rooms lrere at the temple Saturday evening, just as it was getting dark, I felt as if I was getting back home. As inconven- ient as things are here, They were much more so at Chin Cheu San, and they also had more fleas over there. Tomorrow, Mr. and Mrs. Starrett, Bill and I plan to start on another trip to visit Dr. Stubbs, an English- man, at his bungalow about forty li from here. Where he is located there is a fine swimming and also good fishing and Bill expects to have his first opportunity to catch Chinese fish. His tackle is very crude and I doubt if he’ll be able to catch anything. This trip we also expect to make on Shanks mares, but we'll take the wha gan along to be on the safe side. If it rains, of course, we won’t be able to go. Nobody here ever starts out on a pleasure trip in the rain, for it’s no fun at all taking a trip in the rain in China. You only go in the rain when you have to. Yesterday and last night we had the hardest rains we've had since we came to the mountains. Just now the sun is shining, but it doesn’t look as if it were going to stay with us very long. To-day the cook has been busy get- ting food ready for our trip. He has canned five pints of lovely red plumbs and is now making apple sauce. We are getting apples now, but they're just about the size of our crabapples | at home and are not good eating raw. We either stew them or make sauce of them. I want to can enough sauce so that we’ll have it next winter. I don’t know whether I mentioned in my letter to Anna or Berenice that just before we came to the mountains we unpacked a big box of foreign stores that came from Shanghai. certainly was lots of fun and unless they’re stolen while we’re up here, we'll have good “eats” next winter. Among them are such things as sauer kraut, dill pickles, cheese, shrimp, oysters, chipped beef, all kinds of fruit, olives, etc. some of which I never expected to see out here in China. We're eating a small box of kraft cheese now, and I tell you we make it last a long time. In our order was also two dozen lemons, and out of the two dozen, only two were spoiled. I brought ten of them up to the mountains with me and still have two of them left. The times when iwe have lemonade are few and far between, but oh! It does taste good. Yes, we have heard of the death of It the Chinese delegate to the General Conference. He was a teacher in our Boys’ High School at Chung King (where we will be) and Mr. Rape had planned for him to study in America before he returned to China. He has a wife and two sons in Chung King. He was rather a despondent sort of | person and was not very well while he was in the States. He had decided to return to China as soon as General Conference was over, and not stay to study. He worried a great deal about the conditions in the States (a supposedly Christian country) didn’t cheer him up much. It certainly is too bad. At first, we felt that it couldn’ be true. Bill met him when we stop- ped over in Chung King. Well, I must close. My hand is ter- ribly cramped, and I have much to do to get ready for our trip to-morrow. In spite of two servants to help, there is always plenty for me to do my- self. Heaps of love to you every one, Sarah. Changes Proposed in Fishing Laws.

Gates has ac- cepted a position with the Keystone Power Corporation, having gone to work on Monday morning. NOLL.—The very sudden death of Boyd A. Noll,at his home at Zion,early last Friday morning, was a distinct shock to his many friends, not only at that place but in Bellefonte and else- where. He had been in Bellefonte the day previous and spent the most of Friday in his store. After closing that evening he went home and was apparently in as good health as ever. When he retired for the night he had no premonition of illness but about one o’clock in the morning he roused up and complained of a pain in the side of his face. While rubbing his face he experienced a similar feel- inging in one arm. He started to rub the arm and almost immediately his breathing became labored and irregular and the end came within a few minutes. Boyd Allen Noll was a son of Henry and Emeline Evey Noll and was born at Pleasant Gap on Decerh- ber 23rd, 1871, hence had reached the age of 53 years and one month. His schooling was received at Pleasant Gap and when but twenty-one years of age he went to Zion and embarked in the mercantile business in. a small way. In the thirty-two years he had been there he built up one of the best country stores in Centre county and was universally esteemed for his honest, fair dealing with ali his patrons. He was a member of the Reformed church at Zion and one of its most liberal supporters. He belonged to the Hublersburg lodge of Odd Fellows and was a stockholder in both the First National bank of Bellefonte and the Bellefonte Trust company. He married Miss Emma Garbrick, of Zion, who survives with one son, Kermit, a student at Bucknell Uni- versity. He also leaves three broth- ers and one sister, W. H. Jr.,, J. Abner and John T. Noli, all of Pleas- ant Gap, and Mrs. H. T. Ramsey, of Harrisburg. His pastor, Rev. Gass, had charge of the funeral services which were held at his late home at Zion on Tues- day morning, burial being made in the Zion cemetery. I il GATES.—Miss Hannah Margaret Gates passed away at 1.40 o’clock on Monday morning, at the home of Mrs. Mary Kane, at Roopsburg, in whose care she had been the past five weeks. She had been a sufferer with para- lysis since December, 1923, and spent almost a year in the Centre County hospital. A daughter of David and Mary Solt Gates she was born in Spruce Creek valley on July 25th, 1865, hence was 59 years, 6 months and 1, day old. The greater portion of her life, however, was spent at Loveville and Centre Line. For thirty-five years she was housekeeper forthe late John P. Sebring, coming to Belle- fonte at the time he moved here about sixteen years ago, and this had been her home ever since. Her survivors include Charles L. Gates, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Robert C.

Gates, on Spring street, at two o’clock Wednes- day afternoon, burial being made in the Union cemetery. HAYES. ars. Il Alice McGrath Hayes, wife of Edmund. P. Hayes, ! passed away at the West Penn hos- pital, Pittsburgh, early on Sunday morning as the result of shock fol- lowing an operation, for appendici- tis. She was the youngest child of Thomas and Norah McGrath and was born at Morris, Ill.,, where she spent the greater part of her girlhood life. She married Edmund Pruner Hayes in California, in 1913, spending a year in that State then coming east to Illinois, living at Joliet and in Chi- cago until Mr. Hayes was discharged from service in the world war when they located in Pittsburgh, where they have since lived. Her frequent and long visits in Bellefonte with her husband’s mother, Mrs. Hayes, resulted in her becoming quite well known and a universal favorite among a large circle of friends. was possessed of a charming person- ality and endowed with a sense of wit and humor made her a desirable ac- quisition in all social gatherings. In addition to her husband she is survived by one sister and two broth- | ers, Mrs. John Welsh, of Joliet, IIL, and John and Robert McGrath, both of Morris, Ill, all of whom were here for the funeral.

Bill Presented to Legislature Monday Night to Provide Funds for Two Years. An appropriation of $4,323,220 for the Pennsylvania State College was asked in a bill presented in the House at Harrisburg Monday night. Of this total, $3,360,932 is requested for gen- eral maintenance. $355,746 for agri- cultural research and $606,542 for agricultural extension, which includes the county farm agent service. | In commenting on the requests Dr. John M. Thomas, president of the coi- lege, declared that the amount is “a conservative statement of the needs of the college for the biennium 1925- 27 which properly should be met by State appropriation.” It is the least that the college can fairly ask for and continue its standard of service, ac- cording to college officials. The last legislative - appropriation totaled $2,168,600, and it failed to relieve conditions that showed the college to be underfinanced. As a result, it was found necessary to in- crease student fees in order to pre- vent a serious curtailment of the services of the institution, President Thomas states in his report on the legislative budget, which has received the approval of the college Board of Trustees. “Jt is an honest budget and con- tains no bit of extravagance,” de- clares Dr. Thomas. “The faculty salary scale, an excessive teaching load, a costly rate of depreciation in the physical plant of the college and additional equipment for up-to-date instruction compose the most im- portant items for immediate remedy. The college has exhausted the pos- sibilities of income from its own re- sources. Student fees already are too high for a State institution. Increases already made have worked serious hardship upon the very class of students the college was created to serve.” BOND BILL INTRODUCED. At the same time Senator W. IL Betts introduced the $8,000,000 bond proposal for building extension at the College. It passed the last Legisla- ture with unanimous vete but must be passed again at this session before it can go before the people of the State for a vote as to whether the consti- tution shall be amended so as to au- thorize it. - ‘PINE GROVE MILLS.
