Airplanes Will be Able to Land on
Roof of Building in Near Future.
It will be possible to apply brakes
to airplanes and stop them within
twice their length after they reach
the ground, according to C. Francis
Jenkins, who has invented a propeller
reversing device automatically inoper-
able until a machine lands. ; ,
Mr. Jenkins believes his device will
enable air fields to be established di-
rectly in cities, on the roofs of large
buildings, eliminating the slow and
costly hauling of mail, express and
passengers from suburban fields to
their ultimate destination and that
the general use of airplanes for sub-
urb-to-city passenger service will be
brought measurably nearer. ;
He also sees possibility of bring-
ing a seaplane to rest in the lee of a
battleship, landing on mother ships
with complete ease and much greater
safety.
Airplanes, he says, can approach
landing fields at a greater rate of
speed than before has been possible,
and that failures like the wreck of the
giant Sikorsky, which failed to rise
in its attempted flight to Paris, will
be safeguarded against. With the
new device the aviator, when he real-
izes that his take-off is a failure, can
says Mr. Jenkins, stop the airplane
on the runway.
“The reversible propeller blade it-
self is not new,” Mr. Jenkins said.
“It has been used on ships and motor-
boats, but it has been considered too
dangerous for airplane use, lest the
pilot might accidentally pull the con-
trolling lever during flight.
“The essence of the new patent
is that the reversing lever is so gear-
ed that it cannot be moved while the
airplane is in the air. When the air-
plane strikes the ground a spring au-
tomatically releases the safety guard
on the reversing control, and the avi-
ator is free to bring his ship to rest
on ground, deck or sea, almost as in-
stantaneously as a bird ceases flight.”
Mr. Jenkins is the inventor of the
motion-picture projector; the system
now in use of transmitting weather
maps by radio to ships at sea, and
other devices. A patent has been is-
sued on his new airplane attachment.
Princeton Students Here on Research
Work.
Many things have been potent fac-
tors in making Bellefonte famous.
Her picturesque and healthy location;
her three Governors— Curtin, Beaver
and Hastings; her aviation field; her
historic Academy which has produced
a champion football eleven known
from coast to coast, have attracted
the attention of the nation toward our
beautiful town. But another enter-
prise has been organized in recent
years, in the scientific world, that is
bringing our community into the
limelight in a most interesting fash-
ion.
It is the Princeton University sum-
nier school of geology and national
resources which makes an expedition
every summer to regions rich in geo-
logical strata. Last year Bellefonte
was visited by the Princeton party of
twenty-five members and they pro-
nounced Bellefonte as the best to
study the palsozoic section, Appala-
chian topography and stratography of
North America. Last Friday the ex-
pedition left Princeton for a long
stay in Canada, but selected Belle-
fonte for a second annual visit before
entering the Canadian fields. Dr.
Richard M. Field, of Princeton Uni-
versity, is the director of the expedi-
tion.
The prominent representatives of
foreign Universities entertained as
guests are Dr. i. B. Bailey, geologi-
cal survey, Edinburgh, Scotland, and
Dr. Leon W. Collet, dean of the
school of Science and head of
the department of geology, Un-
iversity of Geneva, Switzerland.
Brown, Yale and Cornell are repre-
sented among the students.
The boys were kept busy with their
resarch work among our rocks both
Saturday and Sunday of last week.
On Saturday evening, a large number
of the party visited the Hughes swim-
ming pool and enjoyed its privileges
for over an hour, pronouncing it one
of the finest pools they ever saw.
“The water was just fine,” was the
unanimous verdict,
The expedition party left in their
beautiful “Princeton” Pullman, espe-
cially equipped for these summer ex-
peditions, on Sunday the 17th, with
Toronto, Canada, as their next stop.
Uncontrolled Dogs Must Be Handled
by Local Authorities,
To correct a general impression
that State officials are responsible for
the control of dogs running at large,
the Bureau of Animal Industry,
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, has issued the following state-
ment:
“Many people believe that the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry should in-
vestigate and eliminate all complaints
about uncontrolled dogs. The Bureau
forces could not do this working
twenty-four hours a day.
“The control of dogs running at
large is a problem charged to local
police. Every burgess, as well as the
mayors of all third class cities in the
State, have been requested by the
Bureau of Animal Industry to in-
struct their police to carry out their
duties in regard to dogs running at
large as charged to them under the
law. This request together with pub-
lic sentiment has caused increased
activities on the part of local police.
Several boroughs are reported as havy-
ing passed ordinances to control the
uncontrolled dog.
“Persons having complaints to en-
ter about dogs running over their
property or committing othr nui-
sances should not hesitate to complain
to the Burgess or Mayor of their
iow, or direct to the local police.

SECRETS OF PAST
Camp Sites in Texas Interest
Anthropologists,
Camp sites thousands of years old
on the plains of Texas and ancient
funeral mounds In the wooded regions
of the state may hold the secret of the
relations of three of the greatest In-
dian civilizations ever on the Ameri
can continent.
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico, the
pueblo dwellers of southwest United
States and the mysterious mound
builders of the Mississippi valley, form
a triangle at the apex of which lie
the remains of a little-known culture
of prehistoric Texas, says Dr. J. E.
Pearce, professor of anthropology of
the University of Texas.
Anclent camp sites known as the
“Burn Rock Mounds,” are found on
the plains and prairies of Texas along
streams and water holes, Doctor
Pearce says. These mounds are from
four to five feet high and are made
up of superheated limestone, with
bones and other kitchen refuse. No-
where else in the world are mounds
of just this type found, says Doctor
Pearce, who has studied some of these
camp sites. He found not only the
bones of many animals and birds, such
as the buffalo, deer and turkey, but
also many human leg bones split for
getting at the marrow. These Indians,
with their at least occasional taste
for human flesh, must have built one
fire on top of another until, after
thousands of feasts cooked on lime-
stone slabs, the mounds piled up.
There is no doubt of their great an-
tiquity, Doctor Pearce believes, be-
cause many of the mounds contain as
much as 1,500 cubic yards of refuse,
and one cubic yard of material piled
up in a year is a fair estimate. The
chances are that they are still much
older than this accumulation rate
would indicate, because the Indians
were a nomadic race and the camp
sites may only have been occupied for
a few weeks all told in a year. The
Texas Indians of historic times knew
nothing of these mounds or where they
came from, and they were no longer
used when the white man arrived.
Doctor Pearce believes that their be-
ginnings may go back from 2,000 to
possibly 5,000 years. .
Another group of prehistoric Texas
fndlang had established a civilization
In the wooded parts of the state and
built mounds in which to bury their
dead. They were clever potters and
rivaled the earthenware of the Missis-
sippl valley mound builders.
A study of the remains of these two
civilizations might yield valuable data
on the migrations and origins of early
American cultures, Dector Pearce says.

Hunters Grow in Number
More than 5,150,000 hunting licenses
were taken out during the season
1925-26 by sportsmen throughout the
United States, including Alaska, and
the returns to state treasuries amount-
ed to more than $6,800,000. Although
data are lacking from four states, de-
tailed figures for the season com-
piled by the biological survey of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture show increases in the numbers
of licenses issued and fees received
over the two years preceding.
In 1923-24 season the licenses nun,
oered 4,395,000, and the fees paid
were $5,504,082. One year later 4,-
904,740 hunters paid for their liconses
a total of $6,190,863.94. During the 1925-
26 season the license figures were 3,-
168,353, and the fees paid totaled $6,-
872,812.59. Pennsylvania with 525,045
licenses and fees of $646,467.25 headed
the list both in licenses and returns
to the state treasury.
Railway Through Forest
The Nepal government railway, the
first passenger line in the kingdom
of Nepal, has just been opened. It
Is 24 miles long, extending from Rax-
aul, terminus of the Bengal and
Northwestern railway, to Amlekhganj.
It cuts the traveling time between the
two places from three days to one,
For eight miles the line runs through
the Bhaber forest, which is the home
of tigers, rhinoceroses and many other
wild animals. Malaria is so prevalent
that land had to be -cleared for halt
a mile on each side of the track to
prevent the spread of the disease to
passengers.
Country’s “Special Weeks”
Though there are only 52 ordinary
weeks on the calendar, the civic de-
velopment department of the United
States Chamber of Commerce has com-
piled a list of 100 “special weeks” to
be celebrated during the year in this
country. Alphabetically, these special
weeks range from “Achievement
week” to “Y. W. C. A. Week.” These
special weeks do not include a wida
variety of special days which are set
aside for mother, father and a whole
array of famous men, as well ag pris
vate interests.

At its meeting July 7 the board of
game commissioners of Pennsylvania
definitely decided to abandon the
proposed open season for does as a
means of correcting detrimental con-
ditions among the wild game in Penn-
sylvania and substituted in place of
that measure the plan to get reports
where damage is great or their ap-
pears to be an unhealthy surplus of
females in the herds, and hire marks-
men to pick off the older does, hoping
to break up the herds and scatter
them, thus overcoming at once the
damage to crops and the tendency
toward inbreeding which is supposed
to be responsible for the increasing
death rate due to disease.
The board also decided on the fol-
lowing open seasons for small game
in the State of Pennsylvania for 1927:
Wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, ring-
neck pheasants, bobwhite, quail and
woodcock—From November 1st to No-
vember 15th, inclusive, Sundays ex-
cepted.
Cottontail rabbits and hares—
Month of November only, Sundays ex-
cepted.
Bears—From November 16 to De-
cember 15, inclusive, Sundays except-
ed
The regular season for deer with
two points or more to one antler,
namely, from December 1st to 15th,
to remain in force.
The raccoon season will be confined
to a period from November 1st to
January 15th.
In order to overcome the depreda-
tions of deer in certain sections, the
board decided to appoint a force of
deputy protectors, all of whom will
be expert deer hunters and who will
be sent to the affected sections of
the State to attempt to reduce the
deer to a point where they will not
be a nuisance. In this connection,
the men will be advised to confine the
shooting so far as possible to old bar-
ren does and the carcasses will be
disposed of, if feasible, to charitable
institutions.
which are not causing material dam-
age and will overcome the objections
previously caused by indiscriminate
killing during a general open doe sea-
son.
This method will also afford im-
mediate relief to those who are suf-
fering from depredations at the pres-
ent time and will be the means of
overcoming undesirable conditions.
In connection with the deer situa-
tion, the board had tentatively decided
some time ago that an open season on
does was the only remedy for the sit-
uation. Upon this announcement the
board was swamped with protests
from sportsmen’s organizations, and
in deference to these protests, chose
the alternative method, which will be
tried out this year.
Farmers having crops damaged
may still kill the deer, and after noti-
fying some warden within
an inspection will be made,
damage is proven, the farmer will be
permitted to keep the carcass for his
own use if he so desires, but cannot
sell or give it to others. In case the
farmer does not wish the i ng it
will be given to some charitable in-
| stitution or hospital by the game pro-
tector.
The ruling giving farmers this per-
mission does not extend all over the
State, but applies to all townships in
Jefferson county, and certain other
designated localities,
It is quite generally known that
a serious problem in recent years, and
latterly, the effect of a surplus of
| females on the deer themselves due
{to inbreeding and weakening of the
breed, has been more generally under-
i stood, but another phase which has
occupied the attention of the state
game commission is the tremendous
‘amage done to young forest growth,
particularly in the past year when
feed has been scarce.
A great many people conversant
with the situation feel that the best
method of coping with the situation
was the open doe season proposed.
| From the standpoint of damage to
farm crops and forestry there is no
question of the advisability of this
move and from the standpoint of the
health and preservation of the deer,
the breaking up of the herds, which
contain as high as 80 or 40 head in
some instances, there is a well formu-
(lated opinion that the open season is
{the only effective means of accom-
| plishing desired results,
| There is little
of the deer, for the many game ref-
uges now established in the State will
furnish a constant supply.
Some idea of the actual conditions,
so far as forestry damage is concern-
led can be obtained when it is known
{that in some sections where the deer
are numerous, there are no trees left
under five years of age, the young
i trees being devoured by the deer.
Many of the seedlings set out this
year were almost instantly consum-
In one case, 40,000 seedlings
were set out in a reforestry project.
After the planting was started it was
noted that the young trees were be-
ing eaten by the deer, but there was
| nothing to do but go ahead and watch
(results. Out of the forty thousand
trees, less than ten per cent. were sav-
ed from the ravages of the deer.
Laurel and rhododendron were also
extensively eaten by the deer this
spring, and many of the dead deer
found, when opened, were shown to
have filled up on these plants,
In one section comprising the reser-
voir for a water company, four square
miles in extent, fifty dead deer were
found, and in other places the num-
ber ranged from 14 to 20. Game
Protector Kelley and another warden,
in one day’s tramp through the woods,
found 28 dead deer, many having eat-
en laurel.
In the early days the Indians and
pioneer settlers kept the herds scat-
tered and broken up and prevented
such situations as now exist among
tha deer. The game commission is
apparently making an effort to adopt
the correct solution, but being in the
public service it'must listen to the
will of the people, and if the plan
now being tried is not successful, it
