Former Judge Orvis Injured in Auto
Accident.
Last Monday evening, as Judge and
Mrs. Ellis L. Orvis were on their way
home from a movie picture theatre,
the Judge was struck and knocked
down by a rapidly driven automobile,
but by good fortune escaped very
serious injury. The accident happen-
ed about ten o'clock at the crossing
from Beezer’s meat market to the
Odd Fellows building. Judge and
Mrs. Orvis were within two steps of
the pavement when the machine,
which was being driven at an exces-
sive speed, swerved and struck Mr.
Orvis before he could get out of the
way. He was knocked down and sus-
tained severe bruises on one leg as
the result of which he was housed up
for several days but was able to get
down town on Wednesday. The driver
of the car never stopped but the num-
ber of his license tags was taken and
as soon as his identity can be learned
he will be called to account for his
reckless driving.

quarries and near Pleasant Gap the
wheel of his machine struck a large
stone which threw him against an
automobile being driven by Lee Sin-
clair, of Spring Mills. The latter
stopped and getting Noll into his car
brought him to a physician’s office in
Bellefonte. After a hasty examina-
tion the doctor advised. his being

plane for a little spin. Something
went wrong with the motor while fly-

and this was his first accident.

Mail Pilot Warns Milesburg Residents
of Fire.
Shortly before three o’clock, last
Thursday morning, fire broke out in
the house occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Ellis Huey, at Milesburg, and an
alarm was sounded by a Pennsylvania
railred freight engineer, who blew the
whistle of his locomotive, Now it
just happened that the night airmail
was late and when the plane was fly-
ing over Milesburg the pilot, Lloyd
Bertaud, saw the flames and swooping
down circled over the town several
times in the hope that the roaring of
the motor would awaken the inhabi-
tants. And it did, but by the time
they reached the scene of the fire the
flames had made such headway that
the house and most of its contents
were destroyed. The loss is placed at
close to ten thousand dollars, partly
covered by insurance.
Work Started on the Moose Theatre.
The much talked of remodeling of

five thousand dollars will be expend-
ed, with the prospect of more later.

“What Price Glory” at Cathaum July
4th and 5th.
Life—its humor, drama and pathos,
this is “What Price Glory,” the mo-
tion picture epic which will be shown
at the Cathaum theatre, State Col-
lege, on Monday and Tuesday, July
4th and 5th. It is a gripping story
of conflict told with startling realism,
of pulsating men and women who live
and breathe, laugh and cry, fight and
love—a veritable orchestra of the
emotions.
And spectacle! There is the back-
ground of the war, of course, and yet,
“What Price Glory” emerges in the
main as an epic of laughs behind the |
lines. = Here is stagea the drama %
life, fierce and ugly, ‘beautiful ant
rapturous, and the whole etched with
touches of comedy so naturally funny
that it awakens the risabilities to a
newer and finer sense of humor. ;
The picture comes to the Cathaum
direct from a three-months run in
Philadelphia at $1.65 prices, and from
six months on Broadway at $2.20. Its
State College showing will be the first
anywhere at popular prices.
There will be matinees daily at two
, o'clock and the evening showing will
, start at six o’clock.

——On Wednesday of last week, out
at Moraine City, Ohio, there was a
function that anyone might have been
proud to have been the centre of. As
it happened a former Bellefonter, J.
Harvey McClure, son of James I. Me-
Clure, of this place, was the gentle-
man who was being honored all the
while he was unconsciously giving to
the people of the Hocking Valley
the very thing they had hoped for
most. As vice president and genera)
manager of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton Railway Co., Harve has
worked hard to rehabilitate the line
and having done it twenty-five thous-
and people gathered at Moraine City |
to see him burn all the old and ob-
solete equipment of the company and
start in motion an entirely new and
modern service of cars and motive
power.
——Lloyd W. Bertaud, one of the
regular airmail pilots between New
York and Chicago, is again in the
limelight in an advertised attempt to
outlindy Lindbergh in a flight from
New York to Rome and return for a
prize of $100,000 offered by William |
Randolph Hearts. Bertaud, it will be
recalled, was the pilot who was to
have made the flight to Germany with
Clarence D. Chamberlin but withdrew
because of a tilt with Levine, the
promotor. He then re-entered the
mail service and by a curious coinci-
dence the ship he piloted carried west
the first motion picture films to reach
{ this country of Lindbergh’s wonderful
| receptions abroad.
——The people of Jersey Shore are
experimenting with calcium chloride
as a good dust down for the streets of
that town. Calcium chloride is a
flaky substance which dissolves when
spread on the streets, giving them a
wet appearance. The dampness, it is
alleged, sinks into the ground to a
depth of five or six inches and stays
there, all dust particles being effect-
ively absored. The cost of the ma-
terial and spreading it on the streets
is given as five cents a square yard.
One application a year is all that is
necessary. This might be a good
thing to try on some of the streets of
Bellefonte.
