McCormack—Taylor.—A wedding
of interest to Bellefonte people was
that of Miss Anne Starr Taylor to
James Ian MacCormack, on Friday,
February 10th, at the First Brick
Presbyterian church, 12th street and
Fifth avenue, New York city.
Miss Taylor will be remembered as
the eldest daughter of the late R. B.
Taylor. She is a graduate of Gouch-
er college and at the present is doing
social service work in New York city.
Mr. MacCormack is a graduate of
Michigan University, and served in
the late world war. Following the
ceremony tea was served at Long
Champs, on lower Fifth avenue, after
which the young couple left for a
honeymoon in the New England
States.

Hedjaz, in southern Arabia, is a
land of despair for safety razor and
shaving soap manufacturers. Ibn
Saoud, its ruler, has not only forbid-
den smoking, the use of alcoholic
liquors and perfume, and the wearing
of silver and gold ornaments and silk
garments, but has made shaving a
crime for which both the barber and
the man shaved shall be punished.

Utilizing the Beauty
of Ancient Paneling
Paneling in Tudor days was a ne-
cessity, not a luxury, and there was
continual activity in the building line,
says an article in Arts and Decoration
Magazine. In many instances the
changes and alterations are closely as-
sociated with the history of the fam-
ily who were the owners of the build
ing.
At the time of Henry VII the inte-
rior of many of the famous houses
throughout the land was much
changed and there seemed a greater
desire for smaller and more private
rooms. The great hall usually con-
tained the finest examples of wood
carving, but in Elizabethan times the
long gallery and smaller rooms suc-
ceeded it and the beauty of the panel
ing was frequently hidden by richly
colored and magnificent tapestries.
Much of this fine work has with-
stood the wear and tear of centuries
by pure accident, in many case’ be-
ing covered by thick coats of plaster
which has seemed to an erstwhile
owner more attractive than the som-
ber wall covering. The clever an-
tique dealer of today takes a portion
from one house, a door from another
and a wall from a third and, if cor-
rect in period, puts them together to
form a room that breathes the mel
lowness and charm of antiquity.
No Mere Lion’s Roar
Could Frighten Him
Mrs. Jones had been selected from
several aunts to take Donald to the
zoo. She was perfectly satisfied, as
she always enjoyed being with Don-
ald. He was a soft-voiced boy of
three with curly hair, sparkling eyes
and sunny smile.
The smile was much in evidence as
they made their tour of the zoo. More
than one animal provoked the child's
laughter.
But when they got to the lion's
cage the beast was carrying on so
angrily that Mrs. Jones expected her
nephew to be frightened. Up and
down paced the tawny animal, shak-
ing his head from side to side, swish:
ing his tail against the iron bars of
the cage. And suddenly he let out x
bellowing roar that shook the build-
ing. The aunt was terrified.
“Nice kitty,” gurgled Donald, bis
sunny smile breaking forth again.
Birds Public Benefactors
Contrary to popular opinion, says
the biological survey, various birds eat
even the hairy types of caterpillars.
like those of the tussock gypsy and
brown tail moths, and the tent cater-
pillars. That bureau has found for
ty-five specier of birds which feed ex-
tensively on the alfalfa weevil, while
sixty-six attack the cotton boll-weevil
Orioles will pick weevils out of the
squares or flower buds of the cotton
while swallows feed on them when in
flight and extending their range. Mal.
lard ducks have been effectively used
in ponds for mosquito control, Red-
eyed vireos seem to be attracted by
fall webworms, while cutworms form
a large part of the diet of starlings,
crows and jackdaws. Blackbirds help
to keep down the number of
worms and many other pests. Spar
rows and other birds have been ob
served to clean up infestations of
termites. Birds should be regarded as
an ever-present force that should be
kept at a maximum efficiency by pro

Products
In an English school, the examiner
asked one of the children to name the
products of the Indian empire. The
child was well prepared, but verv
nervous.
“Please, sir,” the answer ran, “India
produces curries and pepper and rice
and citron and chutney and—and—"
There was a long pause. Then, as
the first child remained silent, the lit-
tle girl raised her hand. The exam:
iner nodded.
“Yes, you may name any other prod
pete of India.”
“Please, sir,” the child announced
proudly, “Indigestion.”—The Furrow.
A Hammerstein Joke
it was at a dinner party in London
pefore the war. Lady Cunard was
seated between Mr. Asquith, then Brit:
ish prime mirister, and Sir Thomas
Beecham, the musician, who derives
his wealth from a famous pill. Oppo
site this trio sat Oscar Hammerstein.

his grand opera. During the dinner

card, and passed it over to Lady Cu
nard. This is what she read:

prime minister and the prime admin
ister.”
Dangerous Jobs
Firing a railroad locomotive stands
fifth among the most dangerous Amer-
ican occupations in a table prepared
by the labor bureau, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The percentage
of deaths from accidents among this
class of workers is 43.6 while that
of the highest, drivers in coal mines,
js 81.1 per cent. Powder makers are
second and railroad brakemen and
clectric linemen third and fourth.
