Mrs. Harvey Keller, of State College,
Seriously Injured in Auto
Accident.
On Wednesday evening Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Keller left State College
to motor to Bellefonte. Near the Ray
Hoy home, this side of Lemont, they
were not only forced off the road by
an autoist going in the opposite di-
rection but the unknown motorist’s car
sideswiped the Keller car, a Jewett
coach, and threw it over on its side
into the ditch along side of the road.
Instead of stopping to render as-
sistance the offending motorist
tramped on the gas and got away
from the scene of the accident as
quickly as possible. It was only a
minute or two later until other auto-
ists came along and they quickly stop-
ped and went to Mr. Keller's assist-
ance. He was uninjured but Mrs. Kel-
ler was unconscious. She was carried
to the Hoy home and later brought to
the Centre County hospital in the am-
bulance. An examination at the hos-
pital revealed the fact that Mrs. Kel-
ler is suffering from head injuries, but
just how serious they may be has not
yet been determined. Mr. Keller’s car
was badly damaged.
Word of the accident was telephon-
ed in all directions and state police
and other officers promptly instituted
a search for the motorist responsible
for the accident. They had nothing
material to go on, as no person got
his license number, but they looked
for a car that had been damaged on
the left side, as the car undoubtedly
was through its contact with the Kel-
ler car.

Blanchard-Moshannon Investors Lose
All Their Money.
The “Watchman” last week told of
the sale of all the holdings of the de-
funct Blanchard-Moshannon Coal Min-
ing company to a Pittsburgh gentle-
man at the same price bid at the re-
ceiver’s sale by Robert F. Hunter, as
trustee for the stockholders. Mr.
Hunter made: every attempt possible
to interest capital sufficient to hold the
property but failing to do so, was com-
pelled to dispose of it.
The facts were fully explained at a
meeting of the preferred stockholders
held at the court house on Tuesday
evening, and the principal thing is
that Centre county investors who put
up $170,000 to finance the company
are out every cent of their money. Mr.
Blanchard, the Pittsburgh gentleman
‘who was one ‘of the promotors of the
company, is now in Florida selling
Florida lands to any one willing to in-
vest.
— The best pictures made are
shown at the Scenic, that old-time re-
liable motion picture theatre. Man-
ager T. Clayton Brown has been in
charge of the Scenic long enough to
know what the people of Bellefonte
like in motion pictures and he makes
it his business to get that kind. He
has under contract the best produc-
tions of the leading film makers in the
country, and the Scenic is the only
place ‘where they will’ be shown. A
big program every evening.

ing decreased $1,404,224 during the
five year period.
——Word was received yesterday

Hope Lies in Flourishing Sunday
Schools.
_ Those who have decried a lack of
interest in matters of the church will
be glad to know that reports at the
Pennsylvania State Sabbath School
Association, in convention at Erie last
week, show that even in the face of
heavy pruning by a couple of coun-
ties in their membership lists, yet
there has been an increase of over
5000 in the Sunday schools of Penn-
sylvania during the past year.
At president Craig’s banquet in the
Lawrence hotel Wednesday evening,
former secretary Dr. W. G. Landes
' called attention to the last meeting in
Erie, ten years ago when a budget of
$36,000 was asked as against the
present one of $70,000, indicating the
: extent in increased effort on the part
of the state organization. Dr. Landes
also said that then they were talking
about putting Uncle Sam on the water
wagon and now that we had him there
it was up to the Sunday school folks
to keep him there.
Ten counties were given recognition
as 100 per cent. counties while twenty-
| one others gained a standing of 90 per | 5g
cent.
Every county but three was repre-
sented and over seventeen hundred
dred that did not register.
Billion Dollars Yearly on Highways
is Planned.
Ten years ago the idea that the
United States would spend a billion
dollars annually on highways would
have been regarded as preposterous,
just as preposterous, perhaps, as the
idea that the country some day would
have one motor vehicle for about
every six persons.
The United States bureau of roads
estimates that this year the States
will invest more than $400,000,000 in
highways, and the counties an even
larger amount, while about $135,000,
000 will be spent by state departments
in maintenance. The explanation of
this condition is found largely in the
fact that there are now more than 17,-
500,000 motor vehicles in the country.
The motor car has helped to bring the
roads and it is furnishing no small
part in the cost of them, contributing
for that purpose nearly $200,000,000
in license fees alone and still other
millions in the form of gasoline taxes.
It is a day of big figures, big oper-
ations and big prospects in the motor
vehicle and highways field. The bene-
fit of this development is beyond cal-
culation. It is another era of progress
for America, comparable to the roads
half a century ago, but without the
excesses of that earlier period. Those
great expansion in America ended
with the opening of the west and the
building of railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines should consider the
transformation of the country being |
wrought today by the motor vehicle
and the paved highways.
