Off with your hat as the flag goes by And let the heart have its say, You're man enough for a tear in your eye That you will not wipe away. You're man enough for a thrill that goes To your very finger tips. Aye, the lump just then in your throat that rose Spoke more than your parted lips. Lift up the boy on your shoulder, high, And show him the faded shred. Those stripes would be red as the sunset sky If death could have dyed them red. The man that has bore it with death has lain This thirty years or more. He died that the work should not be vain Of the men who bore it before. The man that bears it is bent and old. And ragged his beard and gray, But look at his eye fire, young and bold, At the tune that he hears them play. The old tune thunders through all the air And strikes right into the heart, If ever it calls for you, boy, be there— Be there and ready to start. ‘Off with your hat as the flag goes by! Uncover the youngster's head! Teach him to hold it holy and high, For the sake of its sacred dead. —H. C. BUNNER. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Come kind friend, find welcome hearty At ye Olden Tyme Blocke Partie, Pray forebear to see and spende. Come kind friend, we would repeat, Haste ye unto Mayflower Street! Three weeks before Washington’s Birthday, there appeared attractive posters of bluff cardboard, decorated with the figure of an old-time watch- man done in blue crayon, conveying the invitation above. In the lower left-hand corner of the postes appear- ed the date and place of the “partie,” given by a certain Community Club. The evening of the twenty-second found the hall transformed into a most attractive “Mayflower Street,” by means of blossoming trees, which only close scrutiny would reveal to be green boughs, decorated with pink paper blossoms, and planted in small green-painted tubs. Pine boughs banked around the sides of the hall filled the room with a pleasant fra- grance, and gave the impression that the primeval forest was adjacent. The “Shoppes” had been construct- ed on light fraineworks, covered with crepe paper or wall paper. White tape stretched diagonally across the window frames. and twined with vines and paper flowers, gave a charming lattice effect, and in front of each “Shoppe” was a bed of gay flowers. At “Ye Sign of Ye Needle,” were found articles of needlework in fas- cinating ‘variety, presided over by a most persuasive Priscilla. Next came Ye Booke Shoppe, where a dignified dame of Plymouth offered for sale books, calendars, and also re- ceived subscriptions for magazines. “Ye Crossroads Store” harbored a wonderful miscellany, including gro- ceries, preserves, stationery, and no- tions. “Ye Sweete Shoppe” was a most alluring flower-trimmed booth, where not only old-fashioned stick candy, mints, and taffies were found: but also the more modern confections. From “Ye Coffee Shoppe” issued an enticing aroma, and here patrons could obtain, also, sandwiches and cake, dispensed by demure Puritan maids. “Ye Tavern,” with its long tables of rough boards, offered a sub- stantial supper of old-time dishes, in- «luding baked ham, baked beans, «doughnuts, cake custards, and pickles. ‘A pictureque figure was “Ye Salem Witch,” who was seated in a bower of pine boughs: and who predicted most «delightful futures for those who tos- sed a bit of silver into her caldron. Perhaps the most popular feature of Mayflower Street was “Ye Target Tree,” which stood at a safe distance from the dwellings. This was an ever- green, from the boughs of which were suspended articles wrapped in blue or pink paper. An Indian Maid with ‘bow and arrows presided at the tree, and agreeably explained that the arti- cles in blue were for boys, and pink for girls. Each person, on payment of five cents, was permitted to shoot :at the tree with bow and arrow till successful, and might keep the article which the arrow touched. “Ye Village Choir,” added greatly ‘to the pleasure of the evening by rend- «ering a program of old-fashioned songs, while dancing on the “Village ‘Green” was enjoyed by the younger guests. “Ye Watchman,” whose coun- terpart had decorated the posters, went about ringing his bell and call- ing attention to the various attrac- tions, until finally he announced “Twelve o’clock and all is well,” after which the “Villiage Choir” sang “Home, Sweet Home.” ELSIE DUNCAN YALR. One of the most popular days for card parties is the birthday of the father of our country. There are so many little favors that are easy to make at home appropriate to this day. refreshments are easily prepared and it seems an ideal time of year to get ready for a crowd. Send out your invitations written sm a plain white visiting card of the largest size. Cut two slits in one cor- ner and slip the blade of a tiny red hatchet into it. These little hatchédts can be cut from a sheet of cardboard at home or they can be purchased, put up in envelopes, at the five-and-ten- cent stores or the stationery depart- ment of any of the large stores. If you like a verse, the following will do very nicely: On Monday next at half-past three, Come play a game of cards with me, The birthday of George Washington We'll celebrate with heaps of fun. You needn’t spend much time or money in decorating the rooms, but if you could obtain two or three small with cranberries and put on the man- tel, one at each end, and one on the hall table. Or you could use yellow flowers in blue receptacles to carry out the Colonial colors, buff and blue. Have the tables ready with two packs of cards on each one. If you are to have your guests play partners, write on slips of paper famous say- ings about George Washington, cut each one in two and let them match these up. For tally cards sketch on white cards, or get an artist friend to do it for you, cherry trees. Buy tiny pencils with green cords and fasten these to one corner of tHe cards. Have a cocked hat made of cardboard filled with tiny circles cut from red paper; gummed on one side, on the table and at the end of each hand go about among the tables and pass this hat. Each winner takes one of the “cherries” and pastes it to her tree. When the playing is over, of course, the ones with the most heavily loaded trees get the prizes. The first prize could be one of the dainty little bisque Colonial ladies, whose full silken skirts cover a pow- der jar or serve as a pincushion for the dressing table. These novelties are quite in vogue at present and can be bought entire in any art needle- work department, or you can obtain the “makings” and put them together yourself. A pretty and appropriate prize could be a red painted box filled with glace cherries or the big, juicy, chocolate-coated cherries that are so popular in the winter time. A small jar of maraschino cherries would do for the booby. After the prizes have been awarded cover the tables with cloths and serve the refreshments right at the tables. This is such a convenient way of serv- ing refreshments in a small house to a large number of guests. For the first course have fruit salad, tiny hot but- tered rolls and coffee. Make the salad of oranges and bananas, pineapple and maraschino cherries. Cut nice, well- shaped yellow bananas in halves to make little boats, and serve the salad in them. Buy little kewpies at the five and ten cent store and dress them in little cocked hats, and blue army capes cut from paper. Serve cherry custard ice cream in tall thin glasses with a piece of birch- bark paper around each one, to simu- late the trunk of a tree, and stick into the top of the cream a sugar cookie cut in the shape of a hatchet. You can pass more of these cookies later. Handshake Origin Traced to the Day. The Chicago business man who contends that the handshake is “blah” in modern commercial relations prompts the Portland Oregonian to trace the origin of the friendly prac- tice. The hypothesis, says an editor- ial, is that the handshake is a mem- orial custom of the times when armed men extended an empty sword-hand, |! to grasp one equally empty, in token of amity. The gesture signified that neither of the warriors had any im- mediate intention of murderous at- tack, and clearly this was of itself most reassuring. On the same subject, the New York Herald Tribune remarks that two box- ers rush from their corners, make a gesture resembling a handclasp, and complete the motion by swinging their gloved fists to each other’s respective noses. To them the handshake is pari of the fight. At the beginning of the last round, however, gory its prede- cessors, the boxers repeat the ritual. Handshakes, like kisses, may mean much or nothing. A strong grip of the hands does not necessarily reflect intense mutual affection. The en- thusiastic handshaker not infrequent- ly belongs in the “blah” class. On the other hand, a “ladylike” handshake may express deep emotion and sym- pathy. In us all is some mysterious power of analysis which rarely fails to interpret handshakes accurately. We can distinguish between sincerity an insincerity. There is the story of the learned professor who attended an ambassa- dor’s reception. “Did you notice how I shook hands with Mrs. X 2?” he ask- ed. “I shook hands with her in a way to show my great respect for her hus- band’s office and my great dislike for the lady herself.” Not all of us are as skillful in the art, but the merest novice knows what is behind a hand- shake. OAK HALL. Walter Korman is the owner of a Chevrolet coach. Mrs. James W. Swabb, of Miles- burg, is spending several days at the J. J. Tressler home. Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Homan are re- ceiving congratulations over the birth of a daughter, last Tuesday. Earl Gingerich returned home on Sunday, after having spent ten days visiting friends at Cleveland. The members of the Boalsburg Lutheran choir were entertained at the L. K. Dale home last Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Alexander, of Unionville, were Saturday evening visitors at the Gilliland home at this place. Miss Dorothy Ishler, who is a stu- dent at Potts Business College, at Wil- liamsport, spent the week-end at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ishler. ACKSONVILLE. John Condo took William Weaver and family to Bellefonte on a business trip, Wednesday. Floyd Yearick was appointed road supervisor last week to fill the vacancy made by Mr. Haagen’s resignation. Some of our folks attended the Overland Auto show at Bellefonte last week, and reported it a good exhibi- tion. A party was held at the William Watkins home, on Friday evening. About thirty-five people were present. Everybody had a fine time. snl —It is well occasionally to stir up the mulch applied to tender plants.

New York.—The chief difficulty in the transmission of motion pictures by wire, says V. K. Zworykin of the West- inghouse research laboratories, is that of subdividing the field into small enough units for transmission, so that when they are enlarged upon a screen they present a definite image of the object. Zworykin is the inventor of the light cell by which light impulses are translated into mechanical operations. He finds the problem of motion picture transmission theoretically possible, but the mechanical difficulties are by no means ¥vercome. Another year may result in a solution. The light cell, which is a combina- tion of the principlz in the radio tube and a photo-electric phenomenon dis- covered years ago by Halwach, is now used successfully by the All-American Cables for printing cable dispatches sent across the Atlantic. The electric impulse coming across the cable is so slight that hitherto it has been impos- sible to use mechanical printers to re cord the dispatches. Light Cell Catches Ray. The light cell catching the ray of light reflected from a mirror galvan- ometer, sensitive to the smallest elec- trical impulses, translates the light rays into electrical impulses strong enough to operate printing devices which record the dots and dashes. Halwach discovered that the impact of light upon certain alkaline metals produced an electrical effect. Later experimenters showed that the light rays caused electrons to be discharge? from the metal. In the Zworykin light cell, a thin coating of the metal upon which the light acts is placed in a position such that the discharged electrons will add their impulse to the circuit in the radio bulb and permit current to flow. The process of amplification intensifies the current to a point capable of oper- ating mechanical devices. Used for Transformers, The light cell also is used now in substation transformers on lines upon which heavy electrical currents are carried to detect smoke in case of fire, mechanically set off fire-extinguishing devices and notify the nearest station from which employees can be sent to remedy the trouble. Mr. Zworykin said that the light cell was beginning to find wide application in industry. Among other things, it is used mechanically to test the filaments of radio tubes. It enables them to be manufactured with a uniformity which no other method of testing makes pos- sible. The inventor has an appartus in his nome by which the electric lights are automatically turned on at dusk by employing the light cell. He said that the draughts in the furnace might be automatically opened as easily with the rising of the sun. Builds Home of Stones He Gathered 40 Years Wolcottville, Ind.—The pile of stones that for forty years grew larger and larger now is the home of Frank Myers near here. Not so far away is Sylvian lake, bordering the Gene Stratton Porter estate, and all around are the char- acters and the environment which Mrs. Porter wove into “The Harvest- er” and the “Girl of the Limberlost.” The Porter estate is known as “Lim- berlost.” Myers as a barefoot boy conceived a stone house—one in which every stone would have been gathered by him from his beloved Indiana. Through the years he collected large and small stones, piling them all be- hind the old Myers home. Neighbors wondered at the constant effort of the boy. Through boyhood and into manhood Myers continued his stone collection. A few years ago Myers and two hired men went to work building the stone house. After two years a part of the stones had become a three-story, twenty-room home, modern in every particular. Three years more and the pile of stones was gone and a large barn, 60 by 100 feet, was added to the stone house. The barn holds all the feed grown on Myers’ 400 acres of land devoted to that purpose. Felons Imitate Eliza, Flee Upon Cakes of Ice Jefferson City, Mo.—Floating down che Missouri river on a cake of ice, two convicts attempted to escape aft- er climbing over the wall of the Mis- souri penitentiary here. Guards in hot pursuit fired several shots, but ap- parently none took effect. The voyage of the prisoners was short. They surrendered after guards on the river bank persuaded the pair, with the aid of leveled guns, that it was best to do so. Jumping from ice cake to ice cake, and frequently slip- ping into the icy water, they made their way to shore. The prisoners are Fred Hildebrand and Paul F. Pitt- man, both St. Louis robbers. Women Quit Piano Cleveland, Ohio.—Women musicians are forsaking the graceful harp and the drawing room piano for the gro- tesque bassoon, the plaintive oboe, and other woodwind instruments, accord- ing to Mrs. Franklin B. Sandors, act- Ing director of the Cleveland Imsti- tute of Music. The location of cur new school house is as yet undecided by the school oard. Miss Lizzie Evey, of State College, Spent Thursday at the Harry Griffith ome. Miss Helen Glasgow, of State Col- lege, spent the week-end with Miss Margaret Keller. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roush and little son spent the week end with Mrs. Roush’s parents. Mrs. Henry Noll entertained a num- ber of friends at a valentine party, last Friday evening. Mrs. John Herman and daughter Edith returned home on Sunday even- ing from a week’s visit with friends in Lewistown. The Stork again visited out town last week, leaving a young son at the home of Harry Hockenberry and a young daughter at the Wm. Rachau home. Mr. and Mrs. John Noll left on Morn- day for New Castle to visit Mrs. Noll’s sister Edna (Mrs. Kirkwood.) Mr. Kirkwood is in the hospital and not expected to live. We are experiencing a slight change in the weather now—in-stead of snow every day we are having rain and snow, and the snow seems to have ex- cellent sticking qualities. When we consider the carelessness and lack of judgment frequently ex- hibited in the early training of the young, the straying away from the straight and narrow path by so many young people is not to be wondered at. Children are educated to falsehood and hypocrisy by example and pre- cept. Well, I went to our barber shop for a shave on Saturday morning. Mr. Halstead was at one chair and his assistant, Mrs. Halstead, at the other. I was told to take my choice. Of course I was somewhat embarrassed, being of a modest, retiring disposi- tion, and disliking a show of partial- ity. But curiosity overcame my con- scientious scruples and I picked the chair presided over by the barberess. And I am here to confess that the job was done expeditiously as well as artistically. The shop was kept open three nights last week in order to ac- commodate customers. J. H. is onto his job and incidentally after the coin. BOALSBURG. George Fisher motored to Clearfield on Monday. Paul Coxey graduated from Penn State last week. Mrs. O. F. Smith is entertaining her parents from Maine. Robert Reitz, of Tipton, visited his wife and son last week. Rev. J. F. Harkins, of State College, was a caller in town on Monday eves- ing. Mr. and Mrs. George Markle and grandchildren have been quite ill with the grip. H, W. Chandler, of Millheim, repre- senting the Allen nurseries, was in town this week. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Homan, of Cen- tre Hall, visited at the Wm. Meyer home on Wednesday. After enjoying a month's visit among friends in the vicinity of Sun- bury, Jerry Dunklebarger returned home last week. Mrs. Alice Magoffin returned home last week, after spending several months with friends in Pittsburgh and Pine Grove Mills. Miss Fay Bohn, who is employed at Lewistown, accompanied by a friend, spent the week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Bohn. Wm. Tennis, who recently purchas- ed the J. F. Zechman & Son furniture store, had a new truck body built at the A. E. Gingerich shop. Returning from a visit with friends in Philadelphia and Harrisburg Mrs. Frank McFarlane is spending some time at the home of John Jacobs. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, who are spending the winter at the home of their daughter, Mrs. F. M. Charles, are visiting in Centre Hall for a few weeks. The Knights of Malta gave a valen- tine party on Saturday evening. The guests were entertained with music by the local orchestra, games were played and delicious refreshments were served.
