"Bellefonte, Pa., August 14, 1925,
RADIO GOES ON THE
AUTOMOBILE TOUR.
There is a new piece of luggage on
the running boards of many a touring
automobile this summer. It might be
a luncheon kit or a new style of suit-
case or again a folding stove in its
container.
Presently an automobile with the
new piece of luggage arrives at an in-
viting and secluded spot. The occu-
pants step out and stretch their weary
limbs to remove the kinks of a long
ride. Then the women members
bring forth a wide variety and liberal
quantity of food, apparently from no-
where in particular, somewhat after
the fashion of a magician producing a
pair of rabbits out of thin air. Mean-
while a male member of the party has
busied himself with that new piece of
luggage which has been put down in
some convenient place. The cover is
thrown open and—well, the secret is
out; it is a portable radio receiver.
Out of the case of the portable ra-
dio receiver comes a frame made up
of a few turns of wire. This is the
loop antenna, which takes the place of
the wires of so many home receivers.
Then there is the front panel of the
receiver, with tuning and other con-
trols. No batteries, no loud-speaker,
no loose wires are in evidence. The
receiver is entirely self-contained,
ready to be operated anywhere and
everywhere, without installation work
of any kind. There is just one thing
to do now; tune the receiver for the
desired program.
Softly at first, yet louder and loud-
er, come the strains of an orchestra
selection, as the person at the receiv-
er adjusts the tuning knobs and
swings the loop to various points of
the compass. Finally, the air seems
fairly saturated with melody. It
seems hardly possible that such vol-
ume can be produced by a small por-
table receiver. And now the members
of the party get down to the business
of eating, which is all the more de-
lightful when accompanied by the mu-
sic of an orchestra playing for metro-
politan diners in a hotel several hun-
dred miles away.
How different that radio music
sounds! Out in the open the radio
entertainment takes on a new charm.
Without the confining walls of in-
doors, radio music becomes more mel-
low, still more realistic, and more en-
joyable. The background of parasitic
noises is lost. There is nothing to
suggest electrical reproduction; the
music, in fact, becomes quite detached
from the radio receiver and loud-
speaker.
Then, too, there is the soothing ef-
fect of the setting. Even the most
blase radio listener will get a brand
new “kick” out of radio music in an
outdoor setting, especially amid new
scenery, out in the open spaces, be-
neath the summer sky.—The Manu-
facturer.
Weather Sage Says Killing Frost is
Coming in August.
W. O. Altman, Kane weather sage
issues a warning that a killing frost
is going to occur between August 15
and August 28. The weather expert
says, “I hate to tell people this news
of sorrow and grief, but nice green
gardens and all crops of vegetables
are going to feel this frost. Do not
misunderstand this prophecy as there
may be warm and dry days during
that time, I am not saying the frost
is coming every night, but it will oc-
cur some time between those dates.
Here is something good to look for-
ward to—I believe that we will have
perfect Indian summer weather be-
tween October 1st and November 1st.
My prophecy in regard to the sum-
mer being a very cold one has work-
ed out just as I predicted and all you
have to do is consult the records of
the weather bureau, if you do not be-
lieve the summer has been a very
cold one. There have been but few
days that the mercury registered av-
erage summer heat.”
Night Airmail May be Doubled.
That airmail service on the New
York-Chicago route will be increased
in the near future is the information
contained in dispatches from New
York.
Expansion of the night air mail
service on this route to two planes
each way nightly, instead of one will
be necessary in another month, air-
mail officials predict, if the popularity
of the service increases at the rate it
has in the last few weeks.
The service, inaugurated July 1,
handled 13,500 pounds of mail the first
month 7,000 pounds coming from the
west and 6,500 pounds from the east,
officials at Hadley field, New Bruns-
wick, N. J., the eastern terminus an-
nounced. The postage paid on the
westbound mail was $68,000.
Only two mishaps, forced landings,
near Cleveland, on the inaugural night
marked the first month’s operations.

Lest He Forget.
A member of a St. Louis law firm
went to Chicago to consult a client.
When he arrived he found he had un-
accountably forgotten the client's
name.
He telegraphed his partner, “What
is our client’s name?”
The answer read, “Brown, Walter
E. Yours is Allen, William B.”

“You make me so angry,” stormed
Mrs. Ragson Tatter after the compa-
ny had left.
“Why do you insist on sitting on the
piano stool all evening? Everybody
knows you can’t play a note.”
“Neither can anybody else play
while I'm sittin’ there,” explained
Ragson placidly.

Ranger Couldn’t See
Skunk as Family Pet
United States Forest Ranger Lewis
Hanson of the Two Medicine valley in
Glacier National park fed flapjacks all
winter to a mink, a weasel, a skunk
and two gray squirrels. The mink,
weasel and the squirrels got so tame
they ate out of his hand, but he left
the skunk to wait on itself “cafeteria
fashion.”
Veteran trappers of the Rocky
mountains declare this is the first time
they ever heard of a mink or a weasel
getting tame enough to eat out of a
man’s hand.
The incident came to official notice
when Ranger Hanson kept reporting
a shortage in flour rations. The chief
ranger, when he discovered what
Ranger Hanson was dolng with his
flour, was first inclined to reprimand
the subordinate, but on looking over
the rules and regulations, he changed
his mind and allowed the extra sup-
ply. :
In Uncle Sam's manual, forest
rangers are instructed to be kind to
animals.
Ranger Hanson's amiability has ex-
tended to more species than any other
ranger has yet made pets of in the
wilds of the Rockies.
“Of course, In the tourist season it's
different, but during the lonely months
of the long winter a fellow has a
friendly feeling for anything with life
in it,” Ranger Hanson volunteered.
“These animals evidently felt the
same way about it, for the’ kept hang-
ing around my cabin door all winter,
and I sure couldn’t regard 'em as any-
thing but companions of the wilds.
“But that darned skunk! I just
couldn't bring myself to fondle him,
although the poor devil almost wagged
his tail as friendly as a dog when he
approached me begging for the flap-
jacks which he had seen me feed to
the other animals. I had to laugh at
myself at times when I was almost
convinced that he was sincerely friend-
ly In the wagging of that tail.
“Once I was on the verge of giving
him the hand offerings, just to show
that I had no partiality for the other
animals. I guess if I had had two
suits of clothes I might have done it.”
Weak Defense
General William Mitchell said at &
dinner in New York:
“Our alr service is in a bad way, and
its defenders put up as bad a defense
as the tramp's.
“A very dirty tramp was charged
with chasing a lunch-joint attendant
all around the lunch-joint with a knife.
“ ‘What time wuz it when I chased
ye? the tramp demanded of his ac-
cuser,
“ ‘Fight o'clock in the morning,’ said
the lunch-joint man.
“ “There, gents,’ said the tramp, run-
ning his dirty hand through his di-
sheveled crop of whiskers. “That lets
me out all right all right. That shows
ye what a llar he is. At eight o'clock
every mornin’, winter and summer, I
takes me bawth.'”
Mixed Metaphor
Sir Almeric Fitzroy, who was clerk
to the English privy council from 1898
to 1923, is writing his “Memoirs” for
the London Morning Post. In the first
installment he quoted from his diary
some incidents that came to his knowl-
edge during an official visit to Queen
Victoria at Balmoral in October, 1898.
One of these was the prayer of the
Scottish minister who officiated at
Craithle church and “in the royal pres-
ence petitioned the Almighty that ‘as
the queen became an auld woman she
might put on the new man, and in all
righteous causes stand before her peo-
ple like a he-goat npon the moun-
tains.’ ”
No Record Available
Mr. G. G. Grey, who conducts a
pookshop in Trinity street, Cambridge,
England, has traced the line of occu-
pants of his establishment back to the
year 1581. The names of those doing
business there prior to that date seem
to be lost in oblivion, Mr. Grey is anx-
fous to learn if any person knows of
an older bookshop. It was in 1581 that
Queen Elizabeth knighted Sir Francis
Drake, who had discovered New Al-
bion two years earlier; but there is no
record of his having established a
bookshop at Drake's bay, so Mr. Grey
need expect no help in his researches
from this quarter.
Got Off Cheap
The late Samuel Gompers, condemn.
ing the pardon of two notorious law
breakers, said one day tc a Washington
correspondent.
“The short time these men have
served, about a tenth of their actual
sentences, reminds me of a story. It's
a story about a bogus oil stock mil-
lionaire who motored a friend out to
his new home on Long Island. The
friend gazed in awe at the vast pile,
“ ‘Holy smoke, George,’ he said, ‘what
did this cost you?"
“ ‘Three months is all,’ answered the
millionaire.”
No Matter
"Mr. Johnson, the baby has poked
beans into his left ear until I fear the
hearing is permanently affected,” said
Doctor Slash,
“Aw, well,” replied Gap Johnson ot
Rumpus Ridge. “He's got another ear
left, and there hain’t nuth’'n’ of conse-
quence to—p'tu!—Ilisten to these days,
no-how.”—Kansas City Star.

Radip telephones Installed on liners
plying between San Francisco and
Honolulu make possible conversations
between passengers on different ships
while at sea.

THE LABOR DAY CLASSIC
AT ALTOONA.
Peter DePaola, recognized leader
for championship honors in the A. A.
A. contest circles, has decided to re-
main in America during the remaining
portion of the present racing season.
Announcement broadcasted several
days ago to the effect that the intre-
pid little Italian had accepted the
flattering offer made by the manage-
ment of the Grand Prix of his native
country, are now rescinded and DePa-
olo will again pursue his present
course to victory in the auto racing
world.
The Labor day classic in Altoona
having lured Pete from his foreign in-
vasion, fans are naturally enthusias-
tic over the late news, and once again
his famous Duesenberg will number
among the eighteen pilots scheduled
to start there.
“I have decided not to desert the
American tracks at this time, and will
therefore be with you Labor day,”
was contained in DePaolo’s confirma-
tion to the Altoona track manage-
ment. The two little boots of his off-
spring, used by Pete in many past
events as omens of good luck, will re-
main in their place at the radiator
base of his famous No. 12 racing char-
iot.
Recent publication of the ten mile
record going to DePaolo by the A. A.
A. made at Laurel, Md., July 18th in
4:25.25, gives him with his present
standing at the head of the registered
drivers, the five, ten, fifteen, twenty
and twenty-five mile official world’s
records. With the credits as well as
the records accorded him during this
season, DePaolo is unquestionably the
outstanding race driver of the entire
group included in the roster of the
contest board.
Skunks no Longer Protected in Cities
and Towns.
The Board of Game Commissioners
received many complaints from mu-
nicipal authorities and property own-
ers to the effect that skunks, classed
as fur-bearing animals with an open
season from November 1 to the end of
February, have become a nuisance in
many municipalities by making their
headquarters about residences and
other buildings, and in numerous in-
stances almost driving the inhabitants
from their homes. While we have al-
ways interpreted such occupancy by
skunks warranting property owners in
killing them, many hesitate to do so
{ for fear they will run afoul of the law.
At a meeting held July 18, 1925, the
‘board, under authority granted by
Section 509 of the 1928 Game Code,
as amended by an act approved May
14, 1925, removed all protection from
skunks throughout the year within all
boroughs ‘and cities in the Common-
wealth and 200 yards adjacent to their
boundary, but such action does not ab-
rogate ordinances prohibiting the dis-
charge of firearms within municipali-
ties. Before using firearms to destroy
skunks within boroughs and cities,
residents should secure permission
from the mayor, burgess or other le-
gally constituted authority to use fire-
arms for this purpose.
Carcasses and skins of skunks killed
under this action of the Board of
Game Commissioners may be disposed
of in such manner as the person kill-
ing them may see fit.

Vast Stores of Gold Await Lucky
Finders.
What becomes of gold? It has many
channels of disappearance, according
to experts. Figures show that more
than half of the annual output Is em-
ployed in the fine arts and jewelry
trade. Thousands of pcunds also are
used by dentists, according to Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine, one estimate
being that over a ton Is needed every
year for the filling of teeth. Then
money is worn in handling, this loss be-
Ing one and a quarter million dollars
annually. Bank of England sovereigns
are often tested and found to have lost
much of the original weight.
Of the immense quantities of the
precious metal that have been buried
away In the earth, it is believed com-
paratively little has ever been recove
ered. The priests of Peru are said to
have buried approximately ten million
dollars’ worth of treasure to preserve
It from the clutches of their perse-
cutors. None of this has been found.
The tombs of the old kings of Egypt
were treasure houses, immense quanti-
ties of gold and jewels being interred
with them. It has been estimated by
historians that Alexander the Great
became the master of great hoards of
gold, all of which, so far as is known,
has vanished.
