Representative Republican Women Issue Stirring
Appeal to Vote for Judge Furst.
Strongly Commend His Able Work in the Juvenile Court.
The Republican Women of Centre County will, and properly should, be an
important factor in nominating the next Judge of Centre County.
This nomination should be made upon the basis of the candidate’s character,
qualification, experience, and integrity.
The high office of Judge affects, directly or otherwise, at one time or an-
other, the interests of each and every home in Centre county.
The time for exercising care in deciding for whom to vote for Judge is a
the primary election, because the Judge is chosen for ten years.
Our Juvenile Court, over which the Judge presides, is entrusted with the
sacred obligation of protecting unfortunate children. It depends upon the Judge
whether a large or small number of these children are rescued and started upon
to deal justly, and at the same time with human kindness, in matters coming
before the Juvenile Court.
Judge Furst has demonstrated that he disposes of Court business promptly
and fearlessly. This is a saving in dollars and cents to tax-payers as well as
litigants. All who appear before him receive justice. In Judge Furst’s court
there is no distinction between the poor and the rich. He favors no section of the
county as against another. He knows no distinction in the matter of race,
religious creed, or color.
Since his appointment by Governor Fisher, Judge Furst has achieved an
enviable record on the Bench. He has more than justified Governor Fisher's
confidence in his ability. His work in presiding over the Courts in Clinton
County and Elk County commanded out-spoken admiration and approval of
new lives, or allowed to drift for themselves.
Every mother in Centre County should have a personal interest in choosing
the Judge for our Juvenile Court.
Rev. Reed O. Steely, of Bellefonte, is the Juvenile Court officer, and also
the Probation Officer.
He has had wide experience in this work. It will be well
worth the effort for every woman, particularly every mother, to write or ask
him concerning Judge Furst’s fitness to preside over our Juvenile court.
Judge Furst has the parent’s sympathetic view-point, for he is the father of
little children.
He has the view-point of the prosecutor, for he served eight
vears as District Attorney. His experience as a Judge adds to these qualifications

lawyers and others there. Centre County may justly be proud of this fact.
Strict enforcement of all laws has featured Judge Furst’s record on the
Bench Nortorious offenders are punished in keeping with their crimes.
On the
other hand, young men and young women, sincerely repentant for first offenses,
are accorded a helping hand and afforded an opportunity to become useful
citizens.
It has been proven that we have a first-class Judge. Let us resolve to keep
him there. It will be much safer than to experiment with others.
If we experi-
ment, and make a mistake, it will nevertheless have to stand for ten years.

Scientific Farming
AND SCIENCE is only knowledge
gained by experience, is being more
and more practiced by our intelligent
farmers with fine results.
Prudent and thoughtful people also
are using science in their investments,
and in the care of their estates, They
know the danger that lurks in invest-
ments made without proper knowl-
edge and experience.
A properly equipped Bank usually
will administer your estate better
than an individual executor. Consider
this in making your will and name this
Bank as your Executor.

Automobile Light Glare Remedy is
Being Sought.
Seeking for a remedy for headlight
| glare the National Automobile Cham-
ber of Commerce voted a fund to sup-
port the research of the Society of
Automobile Engineers and the United
States bureau of standards in this
, field, at its annual meeting held in
| New York. ;
A fund also was voted to the high-
way education board for continuance
of the annual national safety essay
and lesson contest for which more
than 500 prizes are given annually.
The meeting was devoted mainly to
merchandising and transport prob-
lems.
Leaders in the business believe that
| better use of existing highways
| through building over passes and
{ opening up dead-end streets, wider
| roads, by-pass roads, improved light-
| ing, more modern garaging and other
' engineering factors will go far toward
making traffic safer and more effi-
|
| to gve public notice of their intention
a few days before the day appointed
for the marriage. This law, like
many of its predecessors, purports to
exist for the purposes of averting
trouble after marriage.
i There was a time within the mem-
ory of men still living and active
when but few laws existed in con-
i nection with the regulation of mar-
riage. The law did forbid the mar-
riage of minors, but in most other re-
spects lovers were a law unto them-
selves. They consulted themselves
alone.
In that primitive period the young
couple were not harrassed by expen-
sive preliminaries. The marriage law
did not exist. No fees of any sort
were required. If the happy couple
owned a reasonable marriage fee be-
tween them, nothing else was neces-
sary. There were no fixed charges.
That was a period in which the
wide freedom existing seemed to en-
courage reckless marriages. Yet if
you compare the present with the past
so far as marriage is concerned, the
advantages are all on the side of the
simple, unpretending and inexpénsive
past. The law threw few if any
obstacles in the way of reckless lovers.
In those days no probation officer
existed. The courts were not throng-
ed by wronged wives seeking redress,
divorces were few and far between,
happiness may not have been the law
of every home, but most marriages
turned out fairly well. It seems as
though the more red tape we have
about marriage the more numerous
are disappointed husbands and desert-
ed wives. Singular, isn’t it? Is it en-
tirely unexplainable 7—Altoona Mir-

Rule Makers Revise 1927 Gridiron
Code.
Placing of a fifteen-yard penalty on
illegal shifts, moving the goal posts
back to the end lines, reducing the
time outs to three in each half, plac-
ing a time limit on the length of time
players may remain in a huddle, and
adoption of rules to govern lateral
passes were salient features of the
annual meeting of the football rules
committee. ; ;
The football rules committee has
announced radical revisions in the
playing - code for the 1927 season.
The outstanding changes are:
1. The goal posts have been placed
back ten yards to the back line of the
end zone.
2. A time limit of thirty seconds
has been placed in putting the ball
into play.
3. A limit of fifteen seconds has
been put on the huddle.
4. A pause of approximately one
second must be made in the shift play
before the ball is passed.
5. A fumbled punt will be regard-
ed hereafter as a dead ball and not a
loose ball. |
6 A missed backward pass, other
than from the snapper-back, will be a
dead ball and not a loose ball.
