Pedgion and Louise Fazenda.
Shimmering grown—marble halls and
satin walls. She left them for the open
road—crooning steel wheels whirling over
steel rails at night—lashed to the brake-
beams—a lurching couch for a restless
woman—a magic carpet of adventure
carrying her to—what difference where?
just so long as it was away. ‘“Shebo” they
called her, “Miss Nobody,” but her great-
est adventure came when she found that
a girl cannot masquerade a woman's heart |
under man’s clothes.
It’s a First National Show and the best
in town.

“One Wild Ride.” Usual admission 10 and
25 cents.

“Silence”
And Verna Reynolds, Raymond Hatton,
Rockliffe Fellours, Virginia Pearson and
Jack Mulhall.
The heart story of a crook who tried
to redeem his past, the fascination of the
unexpected—a tremendous photoplay
packed with mystery, ‘romance, melo-
drama and thrills—one of the most hu-
manly real picture themes ever shown on
the American screen—an absorbing story
none will ever forget—a photoplay of a
thousand thrills.
Our patrons have seen a lot of wonder-
ful shows in our theatres and “Silence”
is just one more so we personally guar-
antee it to give 100 per cent. satisfaction.

“It Must be Love’
WHAT CAN IT BE?
“I can’t eat—I can’t sleep! I don’t wanna
walk—I don’a wanna talk! I know I'm not
lazy—I hope I'm not crazy! things has
gone to my head! It has me whizzy; it has
me dizzy; I put salt in my coffee, pepper
in my tea. Oh, gosh! I wonder what'll be-
come of me.
I don’t know what's the matter—this
heart of mine goes pitter-patter.
“When a girl has spent most of her
young life behind a delicatessen counter,
love seems like a lot of baloney—if you
knew what it was like to be a saleslady in
the onion department of your old man’s
store you could appreciate how it feels
when the door opens and the sweet breath
of romance gently whispers in your ear,
“Kiddo, he’s crazy about you!”

Early Peoples Knew of
Possibilities of Iron
The peoples of the Near East were
among the earliest manufacturers of
iron, according to Dr. J. Newton
Friend In an address before the mem-
bers of the Royal institution, London.
In 1300 B. C. the Hittites were us
ing Iron weapons in their numerous
wars, and among the treasures of
early history preserved to posterity is
a letter thought to have been ad-
dressed to Rameses II of Egypt from
the Hittite king, saying that he is
sending with the communication ar
fron dagger.
The Romans were skilled metallur-
gists with considerable knowledge of
how to handle iron ores. Virgil's
Aeneid, written around 40 B. C., con-
tains an account of a smithy in full
blast, and Pliny in his “Natural His-
tory,” which was brought out in 77
A. D,, shows an equal familiarity with
the working of the metal. An iron
ring recently unearthed from a Rom-
an site was evidently made by solder-
ing together the ends of a bent strip
of iron with some sort of copper alloy.
Cast iron, sald Doctor Friend, was
first known in Sussex in 1350 and soon
became fairly common,
Vanishing Heath Hen
Was Farmer's Friend
The New Engiand heath hen is now
{ 1m the last stages of extinction, the
Louisville Courier-Journal reports.
The farmer has found that he not only
has lost a source of food for his table.
but a protector of his crops.
Like the western prairie chicken, tc
which it is closely allied, and the “Bob
White” of the Central West, the heath
hen is a great enemy of insect pests.
But of the thousands that once inhab-
ited field and woods patch, less than
100 are alive today, and these are
found only on the island of Martha's
Vineyard. .
The Middle West lost a prolific
food supply when the passenger
pigeons died off. But the wild pigeon
was otherwise of little economic value.
It was largely a grain eater, though
beech mast and weed seeds also
formed its food.
The heath hen, however, is as valu-
able as the quail to farmers. Orni-
thologists and conservationists have
pointed this out. Hence efforts are
being made to save the bird from ex-
tinction and, if possible to bring it
back to its former numbers.
Penny Not Worth While
At Times square a matinee crowd
waited for the long-distance busses.
Other crowds pushed by in a steady
stream, yet above the traffic noises
came the clink of a dropped coin.
Those passing looked down, alert, cu-
rious, until a single penny whirled
into sight, spun - around and then
flopped to the sidewalk. No one
picked it up. It was tramped on,
pushed and started rolling again.
Many looked, but none stopped until
a chubby little fellow, holding tight to
bis mother's ‘hand, spied it.’
“Mother, mother!” he cried in ex-
citement. “I see my penny! Stop—
let me—let me pick it up!”
‘Come, come,” chided the mother,
impatiently, as she jerked him along.
“It's only a penny. Let it alone.
You'll get your gloves dirty, dear.”—
New York Times.
Colonial Workmanship
fhe greatest quality in all Colonial
In the houses of the
rich and the houses of the poor there
is apparent the same dignified scorn
of ostentation and the same pride in
honest building and honest living. Al-
though it has been said that Colonial
architecture is old-fashioned and be-
longs to a day that is past, this is no
more true of Colonial design than of
any other of the traditional styles.
Furthermore, Colonial architecture
seems out of date only because its
| progress was stopped by the Greek
revival and the eighteen eighties. If
it had continued to grow and develop,
how much more lovely would our coun-
tryside be than it is now with its pot-
pourri of all styles—including the
Scandinavian!
Mother’s Orders
Ruth and Marjorie were spending
the afternoon with their little friend,
Jane. At five o'clock they informed
their hostess that they must be going.
“My dears,” said Jane’s mother,
“can’t you stay and have supper with
us?”
“No, thank you,” both replied.
“Mother told us to come home at five.”
Hats and wraps were brought. As
they were being put on, Jane's mother
asked again: “Are you sure you must
go ‘before supper?”
“Yes, thank you; we must go,” re-
plied Ruth.
Marjorie seemed to have a different
opinion, and said to her sister: “We
don’t have to go. Mother said we
could stay to supper if she asked us
twice.”
£nglish Woman’s Ten Names
The petitioner in a case before the
London divorce court was imposingly
described as Mrs, A. B. K. F. I. H. G.
P. D. Hill.
When asked by counsel to announce
ner full name, Mrs. Hill handed a
sheet of foolscap to the judge. “Here
they are,” she said.
“Is your first name Acie?” asked
Lord Merrivale. “It is.”
“Well, that will do,” said the presi-
dent. “It Is not your fault that you
were given all these names.”
Upon the paper was written:
“Acie, Bethel, Kitzinger, Firth,
(shi, Helena, Goiga, Pretoria, Den-

HURRICANE SWEEPS
PATH OF DEATH
THROUGH FLORIDA.
Known Dead Over 300, Thousands
Injured and Homeless and Prop-
erty Loss Many Millions.
While there are probably several
score of Centre county people in
Frorida at the present time, some of
them right in the path of the terrific
and destructive hurricane which swept
over that State from east to west on
Saturday, leaving a trail of death in
its wake, so far as can be learned all
escaped death or injury. At least
none of them have yet appeared
among the long list of names of the
dead and injured so far published.
The known dead at the latest com-
pilation stood at 368, with more than
2000 injured and property damage
estimated at $50,000,000.
Miami proper had 125 dead and ap-
proximately 2,000 injured; Miami su-
burbs, including Coral Gables, Miami
Shores, Little River and Hialeah to-
tal 45 dead and the injured was num-
bered into hundreds.
Hollywood, with 75 dead and six
hundred injured, presented the most
pitiful scene in the storm area as
scores of children ery for their
parents and an equal number of
adults, scantily clad, many. in bath-
ing suits, searched the wreckage of
their homes for traces of loved ones
now missing.
At Fort Lauderdale there were 13
dead, twenty other persons were
probably fatally injured and 503
others less seriously injured were be-
ing treated by the Red Cross, hospi-
tals and emergency stations. It was
said by Red Cross officials there that
about 7,000 persons were dependent
upon them.
At Dania there had been found 14
bodies and 140 persons injured. Vir-
tually every home or business build-
ing was wrecked. At Davie, five
were killed and 40 injured.
Reports are that 41 dead have been
located at Moorehaven and Clewiston,
across Lake Okeechobee. Because of
the inaccessibility of the towns an ac-
curate check was impossible. It was
indicated several hundred were injured.
Fifty persons were suffering from
injuries at Progresso and three at
Pompano. Progresso reported six dead
and Pompani one. At Floranda there
were three injured and at Deerfield
two.
Throughout the storm area it was
estimated conservatively that forty
thousand persons were homeless and
virtually without clothing or immedi-
ate methods to recoup their loss.
Martial law, declared Saturday, con-
tinued in effect throughout the storm
area until late Monday evening when
the restrictions in Miami were modi-
fied. None were allowed during the
day to enter the stricken area except
upon some mission of relief, official
business -of the government or State
or for the press of the nation.
Hundreds were turned back by the
soldiers despite their pleas that rela-
tives were in the storm area and had
been unheard from. It was considered
best until things had better adjusted
themselves that the water and food
supply be not further strained by ad-
ditional mouths to feed. It was de-
cided, too, that the work of. checking |
the dead and injured and caring for.
the housing of the destitute would be 8
hampered by permitting additional
persons within the area.
Sanitary engineers and inspectors
were mobilized on Monday to avert
epidemics in the path cut by the hurri-
cane,
The supplies of food, water and
clothing available, en route or prom-
ised, are sufficient to meet all require-
ments, it was stated. The need is for
public donations for the thousands
who lost their all. Orphans must be
clothed, given homes and educated
and widows and aged people must be
succored. There are also many who
will be helpless from injuries.
It was the worst storm that ever
struck Florida, but instead of being
disheartened and dismayed business
people throughout the stricken dis-
trict are adready figuring on building
bigger and better.
M. J. GRIFFITH LOST ALL BUT HIS
AUTOMOBILE.
M. J. Griffith, son of J. Harvey
Griffith, of this place, who has been
in Miami for three years, wrote his
father, under date of last Sunday,
that words utterly fail to describe the
terrors of the storm. He and his
wife and two children were terrorized
for two days and a night. Their home
was entirely swept away and they
lost everything but the clothes they
had on and their automobile.
Mr. Griffith is in the septic tank
business at Miami.
Charles C. Keichline, who is in the
postoffice at Lake North, writes: “I
am O. K.,” which must mean that he
is uninjuried and suffered no seridus
0SS.
——Two telegrams received from
Miss Mary Musser, of Miami, Florida,
this week, announced that she escaped
unscratched from the hurricane which
despoiled that city last Saturday, but
The Towers, a large apartment house
where she worked and lived was badly
damaged.
An Unbought Republican Paper.
From the Nanty-Glo Journal.
Gov. Gifford Pinchot withdrew his
name as a candidate for Senator on
the Labor Party ticket, Monday, and
in doing so also did just what both
his friends and enemies expected him
to do, announced that he would not
support William S. Vare, the Republi-
can nominee. Unlike some of the oth-
er Republican leaders of the State, he
is too honest and independent to sup-
port Vare now after denouncing him
throughout the primary campaign as
unfit for the office. He says he is a
Republican and will support a major-
ity of the Republican candid\tes, but
that he cannot stand for Vare. While
he will not take an active part in the
campaign, his statement is considered
equivalent to an endorsement of Hon.
William B. Wilson. In this the Gov-

ernor will not be alone, for many

of the State, who put right principles
and the best welfare of their country
above party, will do the same thing.
Eight Million Dollars to Make Train
Service Safer.
Extension of automatic signals and
train control devices now being made
on the Pennsylvania Railroad involve
expenditures totaling $8,000,000. The
expenditures being made at this time
represent the greatest investment and
most extensive installation in signal
protection ever undertaken on the
Pennsylvania Railroad or any other
railroad at one time.
Important new principles to guard
against failures in the observance of
signals are being worked out by the
company in connection with this pro-
gram. A new device has been design-
ed which consists of electrically oper-
ated mechanism by which the indica-
tion given by the “wayside” signals-—
that is the signals displayed on masts
at the side of the track or on overhead
signal bridges—is duplicated in minia-
ture within the engine cab, keeping
the indications continuously before the
engineman and fireman.
In addition to the engineman and
fireman having continuously before
them signals in the cab, each “less
favorable” indication by these signals
is immediately called to their atten-
tion by an audible warning—a whistle
which is connected with the signals.
There are two sets of signals in the
cabs, one on the engineer’s side and
the other on the fireman's side. Thus,
each will receive an identical separate
warning.
A train control system involving
these cab signals, and what is known
as a “stop forestaller” device, has just
been completed on the Pennsylvania
Railroad’s main line tracks between
Harrisburg and Baltimore.
The “stop and forestaller” is a de-
vice so arranged that as a train passes
a signal showing any indication except
“clear,” the air brakes will be automat-
ically applied unless the engineer “ac-
knowledges” the signal as repeated in
the cab by working the “forestaller”
controlled by a small lever in the cab.
This action “forestalls” the automatic
operation of the air brakes, but of
course will not be taken unless the en-
gineer has observed the signal and is
therefore informed as to the track
conditions ahead, permitting him to
bring his train under control.

Women in U. S. Treasury
The assistant treasurer of the Unit-
ed States informs us that in the spring
of 1862 Mr. F. E. Spinner, treasurer
of the United States, prevailed upon
Secretary Chase to permit him to ap-
point a woman to cut and trim United
States currency. This work was then
done with shears in the hands of men.
He appointed Miss Jennie Douglas,
and, as he afterward expressed it,
“her first day's work settled the mat-
ter in her and in woman's favor.” On
October 9, 1862, the following woman
employees were appointed: Miss Fan-
nie L. Halstead, Miss Annle York,
Miss Belle S. Tracy, Miss Elizabeth
Stoner and Miss Mary Burke. "These
women were the first for whom con-
gress regularly made an appropria-
tion.
New Value to Alder
Alder, which is much used as a
wood in making furniture in those
sections where it grows on a com-
mercial scale, may have another value
far exceeding that for furniture. It
Is now believed that the little nodules
or “bumps” on the roots of alder have
nitrogen fixation properties. The Ger-
man chemists have been working on
that theory and American universities
have heen atten:pting to prove it with
some degree of success. If it is true,
the alder having the ability to take
nitrogen direct from the air would be
a great soil builder.
