Bellefonte Pa., May 22, 1925. Country Correspondence PLEASANT GAP. Earl Rimmey is erecting a fine ga- rage for his new Overland sedan. Owing to the cold, unseasonable weather, the gardens are lingering. Mr. and Mrs. John Rossman, of Mifflinburg, spent Sunday at the home of William Rossman. The John Wilson family, of Osce- ola Mills, were week-end visitors at the home of Frank Millward. Mr. and Mrs. Orvis Rockey, of Blairsville, were visitors with the George Rockey family on Friday last. Walter Dunklebarger is busily en- gaged in building his new milk depot in Bellefonte. His pro.ucts are pas- teurized. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wolford and two children, of Snow Shoe, spent the week-end with their friends and rel- atives here. A noble life cannot be built upon an arithmetic. It must be rather like the spring that pours forth constantly of that which refreshes and invigorates. Mr. and Mrs. William Shuey are re- joicing over the arrival of a young son, at the Centre County hospital, on Sunday last. The happy mother is progressing nicely. Lee Smeltzer, Walter Wolford and Jared Zettle departed on Sunday for an extended and indefinite motor trip throughout the west. On leaving they told their friends they would be home when they came back. Our High and grammar schools will hold a festival in Noll’s grove on Sat- urday evening at 7:30. Music has been secured for the occasion. An abundance of choice eats will be in ev- idence. Everybody cordially invited for the glorious occasion. Harry Showers and wife, accompa- nied by John Mulfinger Jr., spent Sun-. day last with friends at Williamsport. John Jr. is in great demand at both Williamsport and Lock Haven. His genial disposition is appreciated by all who come in contact with him. Among the visitors at the Harry Atcherson home on Sunday, were Mrs. Green Heaton and sister, Miss Annie Noll; Wallace Markle and wife, of Bellefonte, a most welcome and agree- able bunch. Mrs. Atcherson was high- 1y favored by many callers during her recent illness, for which she is very thankful. The auto, it is universally admitted, has come to stay and belongs to the modern age of economics. It is adapt- ed to various uses. It fills a most im- portant place in the farmer’s life by the varied number of uses to which it is put. Aside from the church-going commodity, it transports the milk to the creamery and all farm products +0 the markets. The heart of the aged is cheered by being taken to church, Sabbath school, or visiting friends. "The auto, in fact, has become an actu- al necessity. It is being manifested ‘by hundreds of different kinds of uses and business. It is a great blessing to mankind. ; We live in a very progressive. age. In all lines we see great improve- ment. The progress and advancement of our public school system is moving onward and upward, and all are will- ing to admit that Prof. Etters, during ‘his long eareer as county superintend- ent, has been a consistent and most efficient officer, a hard worker and his undivided efforts show gratifying re- sults. It is rumored he desires to re- tire. It now behooves us to look around for some one who can fill the vacancy to the satisfaction of all Prof. L. E .Baird, principal of our ‘High school, I understand, has an- nounced himself as successor to Prof. Etters. From personal observation I “believe he would fill the bill admirably well. He obtained his education ex- «clusively in Centre county. He went to Pleasant Gap High school, gradu- ated from Centre Hall High, was a .student at the Bellefonte Academy one year, and a Penn State graduate in 1916. He attended the Penn State summer school from 1916 to 1923 and was qualified by the State Department of Public Instruction. He taught ten straight years: Rural school one year; «department work in high school three -years; supervising principal in High and consolidated schools six years; in- .structor in State Normal; organized “New Albany joint vocational and con- solidated school; held a number of other trustworthy positions. Mr. Baird is 36 years old. Old fogies and back numbers should be ignored and young blood installed instead. Baird’s platform: To work for the best schools possible for the least expen- diture. To be of service to all direc- tors, teachers and patrons. To make frequent visits to the schools and as- sist the teachers in their daily work. To work for more uniformity in our school system, so that it will be simi- lar all over the county. Qualification and experience counts.

The Pullman car will lose some of its individuality and exclusiveness when the Pennsylvania starts naming its freight trains. The railroad has already selected “Gas Wagon” for its seaboard flyer because it carries au- tos; “Man o’ War,” for a stock train, and other more or less appropriate designations such as “Star Union,” “Spark Plug,” etc. So it won’t be long before Dusty Rhodes, as he rides the rods on the “Comet” will be able to wave a fra- ternal greeting to the occupant of chair car “Nebula.” Though the Pennsy may be first to substitute names entirely for numbers it is not a pioneer in naming freight trains. The Southern and other lines have known their fast freights under different cognomens for some time. PINE GROVE MENTION. George Judy is manipulating the wheel of a new Studebaker car.

Huntington Lake, Fresno county, Cal.—Water is flowing today through the thirteen and one-half mile tunnel of the southern California Edison company, under the Kaiser range of the Sierras, thus completing one of the world’s largest engineering feats. The tunnel, which cost close to $20,- 000,000, is the longest fifteen-foot bore tunnel in the world. : The Florence Lake tunnel will di- vert the waters from the upper San Joaquin river, whence they will pass through Huntington Lake to four Edison power houses located in the canyons of Big Creek and the San Joaquin river, shortening the course by forty miles. They will drop from Huntington Lake to the first power house on Big Creek, a distance of 2,- 131 feet; thence 1,858 feet to the sec- ond power house on Big Creek, and again 7.15 feet to the first power house on the San Joaquin river, whence they will make another drop of 8.30 feet through the second power house on the San Joaquin river, or the fourth in the chain of Edison power houses in the vicinity; and finally they will discharge again into the main stream of the San Joaquin river. Using as a basis of estimate the ta- bles which have been proved reasona- bly accurate by power companies Op- erating in regions where the wet and dry seasons alternate, the additional power which the Florence Lake tun- nel will contribute to the Southern California Edison company system in central and southern California will be adequate to irrigate 620,000 acres of farm land which is not at present under irrigation; it will supply suffi- cient power to operate 5,100 factories, employing 200,000 people. Using these same tables, or work- ing them out on the basis of popula- tion on the land and in the factories, this will provide for the requirements of approximately one million popula- tion to the territory served by the Southern California Edison company. Alcohol from Pears. In parts of Australia there are hun- dreds of thousands of acres of prickly pears. In the past these pears have been regarded as worthless. But Wil- liam Sinclair, an Austrian, announces that he has discovered a process of ex- tracting motor alcohol from the plants and a company has been organized to develop the discovery commercially. wd HOW TO SOLVE A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE the correct letters inced in th b 1 lsh brio Bom Bag Bl swag Bt gomd indiented by a mumber, which refers Thus No. 1 under the column headcd “horizontal” defines a the white spaces up to the first black square te the right, “vertical” defines a word which will fill the white squares to the next black ene Below.

Solution will appear im mext issue Daring Frenchmen to Try Non-Stop Flight Across Sea. ..-Seme time in July two daring French fliers, Lieutenants Paul Taras- con and Rene Coli, will take off from Paris on what is planned to be the first non-stop airplane flight from Eu- rope to the United States. Their ob- jective is New York. Experts figure that the 5,000 mile flight can be made successfully. The trail has already been blazed for the Frenchmen by the American round- the-world fliers, who, however, took a much more northerly course; and by the ZR-3 (now the U. S. S. Los Ange- les), the earlier flights of the Ameri- can navy fliers and the British dirigi- ble which made a round trip. Weath- er and flying conditions in that part of the ocean the fliers will traverse are now fairly well known. : The flight will not be attempted solely for whatever glory is attached; there is a financial incentive attached. Raymond Orteig, owner of the Bre- voort and Lafayette hotels in New York, has offered a prize of $25,000 for the adventure. Lieutenant Tarascon is a noted French ace. He served in the world war with a wooden leg. A special hydro-airplane is being constructed for the journey, which it is estimated will require from 20 to 24 hours to complete. They would leave the coast of France before dawn with the expectation of seeing the lights of the Maine or Massachusetts coast be- fore 10 o’clock at night. This would keep traveling continuously at many more than 200 miles an hour. While ships in the North Atlantic will be asked by wireless to keep a lookout for the fliers, it is not plan- ned to throw around the flight any of the safeguards which protected the Americans in their jump across the oceans; that is, destroyer patrol. Orteig, sponsor of the $25,000 flight, will go to France to see the start of the adventure. If the aviators are suc- sosepl, his son will greet them in New ork. meme pee Government to Count All Insects in Country. A national census of insects resi- dent and visiting in the United States has been undertaken by the Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is to include the careers, habits and conditions of life of foreign born, naturalized and indigenous species in the hope that ac- curate forecasts may be made of what experts term “entomological cycles.” Nearly three score entomologists tlready are engaged in survey, each of them having a number of assist- ants under his supervision. meer — ene ——— ——A lady meaning to drop a nick- el into the cup of a blind man let the coin fall to the sidewalk.
