Republican County committee. In the
hope and belief that I will be able to ac-
complish much toward re-uniting the par-

will be a square deal to all Republicans,
irrespective of past differences among
them, and my one aim will be to achieve

Hazelton Won State Cage Title From
: Lewistown.
The Hazleton High school basket
ball team won the State cage cham-
pionship, at State College, on Satur-
day, by defeating Lewistown, of the
Mountain league 85 to 31. Elimina-
tion contests had been held in various
parts of the State until the number
of contesting teams was reduced to
four, Hazleton; Lewistown; Jersey:
Shore and Duquesne. The four teams’
played the semi-finals at the College
on Friday afternoon, Hazleton de-
feating Jersey Shore and Lewistown
downing Duquesne. A special train
of five cars was run from Pittsburgh,
on Friday, to carry Duquesne rooters
to the games, while over five hundred
rooters from Jersey Shore motored
up to back their team.
On Saturday hundreds of Hazleton
and Lewistown fans motored to the
College to witness the final tilt. While
it was apparent from the beginning of
the game that Hazleton had the best
of the argument there was no let up
in the lanky Maroons, from Lewis-
town. Once they managed to tie the
boys from the anthracite region but
were unable to hold the advantage
and were just four points off side
when the game ended.
Saturday’s game was probably the
last athletic contest to be held in the
college armory, as the new athletic
building will ‘probably be completed
before there are any more indoor
sports. The. armory was built in
1889, and for thirty-eight years has
served as a home for the college ca-
dets and a field for indoor sports. In
the future it will be devoted to the
exclusive use of the cadets.

Child Strangled to Death.
Louise Kline, seven months old
child of Mr. and Mrs. John Kline, of
Roopshurg, died of strangulation last
Friday afternoon. While the exact
cause is not definitely known it is be-
lieved that milk had curdled in the
child’s throat and she_yas not strong
enough to dislodge it. The child had
not been very, strong since birth. Bur-
ial was made in the Union cemetery
on Saturday.’
—Harry L. Zimmerman, of Pleas-
ant Gap, has' purchased the old Jona-

for the property was $6,600.
DALE.—Mrs. Carolyn Dale, wife of
John S. Dale, of State College, passed
away at her home in that place at
4.15 o’clock last Saturday afternoon,
following an illness of about two
weeks.
She was a daughter of Daniel and
Carolyn McBride Summy and was
born at Shiloh on December 16th,
1874, hence was aged 53 years, 3
months and 8 days. She was edu-
cated in the schools of College town-
ship and at Wilson college, Cham-
bersburg, at the latter institution
forming many warm friendships
which proved of advantage to her lat-
er in life,
On December 18th, 1894, she mar-
ried John S. Dale, the wedding tak-
ing place at the old McBride home-
stead, at Shiloh, Rev. G. W. Lesher,
of Boalsburg, performing the cere-
mony. Fo» some years they lived on
the farm but of late have made their
home in State College.
Mrs. Dale was a member of the
Grange and her enthusiasm in the
work of the county Pomona resulted
in her being elected Flora of the State
Grange, an office she filled with credit
to herself and home county for eight
years. She was an active worker in
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and a member of the State Col-
lege chapter of the Eastern Star.
Politically she was a Republican
and when the Nineteenth amendment
was passed she promptly entered into
the political activities of her home
town with the result that in 1925 she
was néminated and elected to the of-
fice of justice of the peace, of State
College, and was duly commissioned
by Governor Pinchot. As a justice
she performed her duties conscien-
tiously as she saw the light, without
fear and without favor.
She took a leading part in raising
the one hundred thousand dollar fund
pledged by the Grange for the me-
morial dormitory for girls at the Col-
lege. Her whole heart was in this
work and it is cause for regret that
she was not spared to see the fru-
ition of her efforts.
In early youth she became a mem-
ber of the Shiloh Lutheran church but
after moving to State College had her
membership transferred to Grace
Lutheran church at the College. She
was equally assiduous in her church
as she was with her other varied ac-
tivities, but busy as she was she nev-
er allowed her outside interests to in-
terfere with her home duties. She
was a devoted wife and mother and
never stinted her family with the lov-
ing care she deemed their rightful
portion.
In addition to her husband she is
survived by three children, Norman
Dale, of Montrose, Pa., county farm
agent of Susquehanna county; Edwin
Dale, on the homestead farm on the
Branch, adjoining the Centre Hills
Country club, and Mrs. Edith Mildred
Leinbaech;- of - Honesdale: She ‘also
leaves her step-mother; Mrs. ‘Daniel
Summy, of Hyatsville, Md., and two
sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Stoddard, of
Hyatsville, and Mrs. Edith Jones, of
State College.
Funeral services were held at her
late home, at State College, at ten
o’clock on Tuesday morning, by her
pastor, Rev. John F. Harkins, burial
being made in the Boalsburg ceme-
tery.

and lucrative business.

years but after moving to Pine Grove
attended the Lutheran church. He
was a member of the Loyal Order of
the Moose, the Modern Woodmen of
America and the P. O. S. of A.
“Johnnie,” as his intimate friends all
called him, was ever hailed as a
“prince of good fellows;” a good citi-
zen and a neighbor whose many kind-
nesses will be long remembered by
those who -benefitted by his acts of
goodness. He was a staunch Demo-
crat and was serving a term as as-
sessor in Ferguson townhip.
Mr. Williams was twice married,
his first wife having been Miss Anna
E. Woomer, whom he married in 1883.
She died three years later, leaving
one son, Claude Willizms. In 1889 he
married Miss Ida May Miller, who
survives with the following children;
Claude Williams, of Pine Grove Mills;

John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in.
“Love” at Cathaum, State College.
John Gilbert and Greta Garbo, two
of the screen's most famous lovers |
who scored such a sensational sue-
cess in “Flesh and the Devil,” appear
together again for the first time in |
“Love,” which comes to the Cathaum |
theatre, State College, on Monday and
Tuesday of next week. “Love” is
based on Count Tolstoi’s celebrated |
novel, “Anna Karenina,” and the pic-
ture is a spectacular production.
The story is laid in the gayest per- |
iod of the Russian court, with Gilbert
as the beautifully-uniformed Count |
Vronsky, and Miss ‘Garbo in the role
of the tragic Anna. The central.
theme is the sacrifice of Anna, who |
deserts husband and child for love, to
be pursued by a seemingly relentless
fate. Gergeous reproductions of Rus-
sian palaces and haunts of the mighty ,
are settings for the spectacular film. |
“Love” has had a record-breaking |
run in New York city and has played
toe capacity crowds in every large |
city where it has been shown. It is!
a picture that will thrill all admirers |
of handsome Jack Gilbert and fasci- |
nating Greta Garbo, for it presents |
them both in roles that fit them bet-
ter than any others that could be |
imagined. Gilbert appears in no less
than seven dazzling uniforms, the
full panoply of an officer in the Rus-
sian Imperial Guard. {
There will be a matinee on Monday |
only, at two o'clock, and the evening
showing will start at six o’clock, the |
Cathaum management announces. |

Philip Krape, of Lamar, a Suicide.
Philip Krape, a retired citizen of
a2;
PBgmar, | committed suicide, early on
Tuesday evening, by shooting himself -
in the head then setting fire to his |
bed. When found his body was
charred from head to foot. :
During the winter Mr. and Mrs. |
Krape had been staying with their ’
daughter, Mrs. John Hays, at Hub-
lersburg, but some time ago Mr. |
Krape went to Atlantic City where he
spent some weeks with his son. He
returned last week and was making
preparations to reopen his home at
Lamar. He had gone down most ev-
ery day and expected to take his wife
home the latter part of the week.
On Tuesday he went to Lamar as
usual and shortly before eight o'clock
on Tuesday evening residents of La-.
mar saw smoke issuing from an up-:
stairs window of the Krape home.
They forced an entrance to the house |
and going upstairs found Mr. Krape
lying on a bed which was enveloped
in flames. A bucket brigade managed |
to extinguish the fire and an examina-
tion revealed the fact that Krape had |
been shot in the head. A revolver
ley on the floor beside the bed and a
can that had evidently contained gas-
oline was also found.
Mr. Krape was about 76 years old
and up until six months ago operated
a’ tea route for the Atlantic and Pa-
cific Tea company. Financial difficul-
ties are believed to have been the
cause of his suicide.
