Bellefonte, Pa., May 25, 1928. _ i0dd Mixture Made of Business and Religion In uptown New York there is a megro church in which attending serv- Aces is an all-day affair on Sundays. @ congregation spends from eight to ten hours in the house of prayer, joss meals and social circles interlard rmons and Bible classes. : Perhaps the most practical feature lof the weekly gathering has to do with business. Members of the flock are invited to pass along their special wants to the pastor and he in turn proclaims them from the pulpit. Thus, if one has a piano or a parlor jset for sale it may be described as \alluringly as desired, the price men- {tioned and the name and address of {the “brother” or “sister” broadcast. !If one wants a job or a boarder the jdetails are set forth in the same man- mer. Recently a case of theft was ‘handled as follows: “Mah dear brothers an’ sistern, Mis’ Amanda Rose Abernathy has lost her beautiful pearl brooch—at least she likes to think it were lost, but she fknow the devil often find things for folks what ain’t lost—so if any of you jhave found it, in such eventuality iplease return it to the lawful owner ithereof. An’ to save embarrassments and humiliations I would suggest that ithe finder of the lovely brooch put it in de little collection envelope.”—New York Sunday Times. “Singing” Mud Rivers Alter Andes Skyline One of the most interesting features of the Andes, the great backbone of icordilleras covering the northern part of South America, says Nature Maga- ‘zine, is its “singing” rivers of mud. During certain seasons of the yea iain falls in torrents, converting the [foothills of the mountains into actual Streams of flowing gumbo, and so rap- Adly is ‘this erosion occurring, the ‘whole outline of a chain of mountains ‘may become unrecognizable in the lcourse of a year. : The higher cordilleras, with alti ‘eudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet, are be- ing washed down at the rate of five feet or more a year, and it is believed ithat in a few centuries the Andes will )be leveled and formed into vast plateaus like the hinterland of Pata- gonia. The mountains are composed, for «the most part, of glacial moraine, a mixture of powdered rock and clay. {The winter rains carry this alluvial material down the valleys in a semi- Jlquid state and form vast plains. It igurgles with a musical sound like ‘poured molasses. Flour From Corn Corn flour is corn meal ground and [bolted until it is as fine as wheat flour. ‘Tt is used in considerable quantities ‘by bakers and as a binder in sausage making. During the World war it was widely sold as a wheat flour substi tute for use in quick breads, cakes and general cooking, but it is not ordi marily found on the retail: market. ‘Some of the pancake flours on the . market contain corn flour or fine corn meal, usually mixed with flour made of wheat, rye, barley or other cereals. In England the term corn flour refers to the separated starch, which in this country 1s called cornstarch and which is used for thickening sauces and puddings. Lunch Away From Home Married men of Eibar, a Spanish town of 10,000 inhabitants, never go home for lunch. They have a local proverb which says it is unlucks if men lunch at home more than twice in their lives—on the day of thelr marriage and on the day of their death. Every man in Eibar, therefore. lunches at a restaurant or at the fac. tory or shop where he is employed. It is believed the fact that most of the women work away from home dur- ing the day has given rise to the prov- erb, Pudding Is “Detoured” The mister had a boyish habit of visiting the pantry after the cook’s departure and devouring all surplus sweets. One morning after a night's invasion of the pantry the coek asked her mistress: “What you all want for dessert for . dinnah?”’ “] think the date pudding ieft from. yesterday will be sufficient for to- day,” said the thrifty wif., *That pudding’s been detoured by that meddlin’ husband,” was the ir- ritated reply.—Indianapolis News. Peculiar “insult” A Hungarian fruit dealer having a very large melon on his hands decid: ed to use it for advertising purposes and accordingly he had the Hungarian eoat of arms carved upon it with some minor variations and thus he put it on show in his window. The town officials werc thrown into a panic hy its presence and saw an insult te the Hungarian nation. They arrested the poor fruit dealer and took him into court, where he was promptly found guilty and sentenced to a fine or im- prigsonment, He appealed his case and the second court reduced his im- prisonment to six months instead of a year, but gave him no alternative of a fine. His offense in each case wag Insult to the Hungarian nation. —Subscribe for the Watchman, (© by D. J. Walsh.) HE had married Gareth without giving a thought of his past life. He had appeared and she had accepted him and that was all there was to it. But they were scarcely past their honeymoon when that other life, from which he had seemed perma- nently detached, began to make in- trusion, They were having breakfast in their three-room flat, with its new fit- tings, when Gareth said: “I've simply got to go and see Aunt Sally. I can't neglect her another minute.” The name as she heard it was not unfamiliar te Charlotte. Two or three times she had found Gareth writing letters and when she had -asked him, according to her new rights, who was to be the recipient he had replied: “Aunt Sally.” And now here was Aunt Sally again, crop- ping up at the least warrantable mo- ment. ya “Bother said, Gareth looked straight at her. She was so pretty, so bewitching, all pink, pink negligee, pink boudoir cap with a knot of pink ribbons over her left ear, and pink cheeks. She had been his wife for a month and three days and he adored her. Still he didn’t like her saying, “Bother Aunt Sally!” “You don’t understand about Aunt Sally,” he said quietly. “You've nev- er let me tell you about her. But you'll like her when you know her. We'll take the week-end and go to see her.” : Charlotte dipped into her cereal with dainty indifference, selected one tiny morsel and carried it toward her lips. Then she paused. It was her prettiest pose. No silver-sheet star simulating breakfast could have done better. “I shan’t go,” she pouted. “I hate old women. And you won't go, either, You'll stay with me, won't you, Babe?” she smiled upon him, : But Gareth did not smile back. ° “Don’t fool!” he said with finality. “I'm going and you're going with me.” “But, of course, I shan’t.” Char- lotte did not like being told to do things. At home she had been a pet- ted infant. She did not like the big- boss idea in husbands. Hitherto Ga- reth had submitted to her every whim. He’d have to now. That old Aunt Sally! She hated her, Gareth leaned forward across the table with one of his most direct looks. His chin had an odd thrust- out look. “AN right, my -dear. You may stay at home, but I shall go,” he said. All day Charlotte was sure that he would change his mind before night. And when night came she was sure that he had. For he said nothing about Aunt Sally. Neither did she. Two days more passed. Aunt Sally!” Charlotte his week’s work finished. She was putting the last touches to the salad when she heard him doing something in the bedroom. She went to see and found him packing a bag. “Why, Gareth Warren! you doing?” she gasped. “Packing my bag,” he replied. “But what for?” “I told you several days ago. I'm going to spend the week-end with What are “Aunt Sally. He had then not given up at all! Charlotte stared in amazement, trying to understand this new phase in his uature. “Oh, Gareth! You won’t leave me!” she wailed. He smiled upon her. “No, I'll take you with me if you want to go.” So she went. What else could she do? But she went unwillingly, pro- testingly, with a grievance against her big boss and with her heart dis- tilling hatred for Aunt Sally. After a four-hours’ journey they alighted at a small station. Gareth took her arm and the bag and they walked through the cool, tree-shaded village streets till they came to a small gray house with a trumpe. vine beside the door. Gareth went in with- out knocking. “Aunt Sally! shouted. They found her in the kitchen—a tiny, white-haired old woman with wistful blue eyes behind spectacles. The spectacles had to come off on account of tears as Gareth enfolded her and kissed her. “And this, Aunt lotte,” he said. “You dear child!” Aunt Sally ex- pected to be kissed ard Charlotte had to do it. She felt a little thrill some- how when those blue eyes turned upon her, They had supper immediately, cold sliced meat and thimble biscuit and fruit cake and fresh applesauce—all very plain and delicious. Afterward Gareth wiped the dishes, with one of Aunt Sally's aprons tied round his waist. They had great fun over it and Charlotte went out and found a cat to play with and left them to- gether. As the mceon arosc they sat on the porch, and Gareth and Aunt Sally talked. Charlotte smelled the white Jasmine in the garden and watched the moon and was silent. At sa early ‘hour they stairs to the best chamber, Aunt Sally!” he Sally, is Char- went up- But be- | fore they entered it Gareth led Char- Then on | Saturday he came home to lunch with | lotte to another room, a small room, with many beyish belongings. Snow- shoes and fishing rods cn the wall, school banners over the bureau, old books, shells, stones. ; “This,” he said, “was my room, and Aunt Sally has kept it just as it was.” It was a crowded, ugly little room, Charlotte thought, and it did not con- struct for her that other Gareth, the boy who had lived there. “It smells musty,” she said with a laugh, and went to the well-aired guest chamber, They went to church next morn- ing, a drowsy proceeding, only en- livened for Charlotte by the curiosity her entrance occasioned. She had worn her orchid organdie and looked charmingly bridelike. Dinner was a dull affair. There was chicken—for it seemed Aunt Sally had been expecting them— chicken and biscuit and mashed po- tatoes. Afterward Gareth begged leave of Aunt Sally to go to look up an old boy friend, > For the first time Charlotte and Aunt Sally were alone together. It was an awkward situation. Charlotte could see that Aunt Sally felt it as much as she. “Wouldn't you like te come up- stairs with me? I want to show you some things,” Aunt Sally said. They went upstairs to Aunt Sally's plain white room. Aunt Sally knelt down before the old-fashioned chest of drawers, opened a drawer and |! began to take out things which filled Charlotte with amazement and won- der. A little yellow shirt, a worn baby shoe, a rattle, a tiny pair of knit mittens, “You see, Gareth’s mother diea when he was born, and he came right to me,” Aunt Sally was saying. “I was not married and there was no- body else to look after him. I may say I mothered him from the very start.” She sat there, the little silver: faired old maid, with Gareth’s baby things in her lap, dwelling upon them fondly. Suddenly Charlotte could see him, sturdy, rosy, toddling in the little shoes. She took one of them in her hand. Her eyes overflowed. She kissed it. Then all at once she was on the floor beside Aunt Sally and was kiss- ing her, too. “You dear little woman! What a lot IT owe to you—my Aunt Sally” she cried. No National Anthem by Act of Congress “The Star-Spangled Banner” is re- garded as the national anthem of the United States. It is so recognized by both the War and Navy departments. However, it has never been made the ofticial emblem by act of congress. The official regulations of the army say: “The composition consisting of the words and music known as ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is designated the national anthem of the United States of America. Provisions in these regulations or in orders issued under the authority of the War de- partment requiring the playing of the national anthem at any time or place will be taken to mean ‘The Star- Spangled Banner' to the exclusion of other tunes or musical compositions popularly known as national airs. When played by an army band, the national anthem will be played through without repetition * of any | part not required to be repeated to | make both words and music com- plete.” The office of naval intelligence says in a communication to the Path- finder Magazine: “ ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ is the recognized national air of the United States. None others have official recognition. “America” is sung at church services aboard nav- al vessels.” Thus it will be seen that “The Star Spangled Banner” is re- garded as our national anthem, while “America” is regarded as our national hymn although neither has been SO designated by act of congress. Finding Ships in Fogs Will the smoke screen, laid down to protect battleships, become obsolete and useless? Possibility that it may is suggested in a recent invention by John L. Baird, television expert, whereby an electric beam is made to penetrate smoke rnd mists and pro- duce a sound whenever it meets an ob- struction, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, The nature of the obstacle is determined by focusing the heam upon a screen attached to the ap- paratus. Tests with the outfit on a coastal steamer rurning : between Dundee and London indicate that the electric eye will be of great help in locating vessels in fogs, thus resulting in a decrease of maritime accidents, with a possible reduction of insur- ance rates as a consequence, What Youth Expected A family living in an Old York road town was upset over an injury to the paw of the family cat. The father took the animal to a veterinary and the children, three young boys, insist- ed on making the trip. Their mission was successfully accomplished and they returned home to tell mother gil about it. The second son, who is six years old, said: “Why mother, that cat doctor was a man.” His mother asked: “Well, John, what did you think he would be?’ The sober and discontented reply was: “I thought he would be a big cat.” Daddy laughed at the idea, but Johnny cried and said: “Well, Thomas thought so, too.” Thomas, the older son, refused to com- Had No Change The other day a man stuck his head out of a trolley window at Market street and whistled to a newsboy for a paper. The bey passed in the news- paper and waited for his money. The man searched through his pock- ets one after another. A look of dis may suddenly clouded his counte- nance. All he could find was a $5 bill As the trolley began to move, the newsbey trotted along at the window still waiting hopefully for his money. He ran with the car at least half a block before his customer realized that he had no change. The paper was sorrowfuily handed back to the newsboy, who “cussed” so loudly that several of the young women near by had to muffle their ears.—Philadel- phia Record. Bald Heads Rapped One Sunday morning Joseph Buck- lin Bishop heard Henry Ward Beecher preach a stirring sermon to a great congregation. After a specially elo- eloquent passage the preacher paused a moment and then continued: “The churches of the land are sprinkied all over with bald-headed old sinners, whose hair has been worn off by the friction of countless ser- mons that have been aimed at them and have glanced off and hit the man in the pew behind.” ; That was a trying moment for the bald-headed men present, comments Mr. Bishop in “Notes and Anecdotes of Many Years.” Their Three Selections Aunty had written the children to write to her and tell her the three things they most desired for Christ- mas. Then, she said, she would se lect one of the three for their gift from her. Marjorie, being the older. wrote the Jollowing: “Dear Aunty—We were tickled to get your nice letter and 1 will now tell you the three things we want most for Christmas. Buddy wants three bicycles and 1 want three wrist watches. These are the only three things we can think of. With love Marjorie.”—Kansas City Star. Get Rid of Troubles People in Korea seek to rid them selves of all their distresses by paint- ing images on paper, writing against them their troubles of body or mind and afterward giving the papers to a boy to burn. Another method of achieving the same object is to make rude dolls of straw, stuff them with a few copper coins, and throw them into the street. Whoever picks up such an effigy gets all the troubles and thereby relieves the original suf- ferer. The One Sane Man Out of every ten people alive today at least five (at a conservative esti- nate) have at some time or other wanted to act in a play. Of the re maining five, three have had the urge to write cne, while one, at least, has wand the urge to direct or produce one. The tenth man does not believe in “hes Kind of magic ar all. He is quite vedivineed that the other nine ire vauy.—Leslie Howard, in Vanity Fair Magazine, Inspect Your Car. “Keep the inspection sticker on your windshield during the month of May.” is the advice given to motorists by the Keystone automobile club. “It is,” says a statement of the club, “our information that the Penn- sylvania Department of Highways will follow up the ‘Save-a-Life’ cam- paign by making an intensive drive on mechanically unfit motor vehicles after the inspection period comes to a close Monday, April 30. “Those who have complied with the proclamation of Governor Fisher to have their machines inspected, and who carry stickers on the windshield attesting to the inspection, will have little to fear from the operation of the State Highway Patrol. Those who fail to show the sticker may be sub- jected to inspection on the highways, under authority of the new Vehicle code. “Of course, the presence of an in- spection sticker is no guarantee that the motor vehicle is in safe condition. The sticker simply shows that the owner has had his car inspected and that at the time of inspection it was ‘mechanically safe. “Only constant attention will keep motor vehicles in roadworthy condi- tion, which is the primary object of the campaign now drawing to a close. Motorists who fail in this require- ment can have no valid complaint if they are prosecuted by the State. It is to their interest and safety as well as to the public interest that all cars operating on the highways are in con- dition for safe travel. “Only about half of the State’s 1,600,000 motor vehicles have thus far been inspected. The reports in- dicate that of these only 44 per cent are in proper mechanical condition. The need for overhauling of the State’s motor cars is thus made strik- ingly apparent.” Dancing is Dangerous Says French Physician; Dislikes Black Bottom. Dancing is a dangerous sport, ac- cording to a well-known French doc- tor who condemns modern steps such as the Charleston and Black Bottom. Writing in the ‘Comoedia’ he says that the knee is especially liable to serious injury because the new dances call for movements for which it was never fitted. It is a one-way joint, rather like a hinge in the center of the lever formed by the upper and lower leg, and is only adapted to al- low..the leg to be bent backward: from mit himself.—Philadelphia Record, the center. In attempting to bend it sidewise there is a serious risk of dis- location. : Even ordinary dancing imposes a strain upon the knee and ankle joints, according to the French doctor, and any increase of this strain results in painful consequences. Five thousand cases of sprained or dislocated knees have come under his notice recently, all of them due to the modern dance craze. ——————— i —————— Lindbergh’s Feats Draw Men to Army Aviation. That the deeds of Charles Lind- bergh have served to stimulate inter- est in aviation to a remarkable de- gree is shown by the fact that before Lindy made his epoch-making trip to Paris an average of only twenty ap- plications a week was received for ad- mission to the flying school at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, whereas the av- erage is now more than two hundred a week, according to Brig. Gen. Frank P. Lahn, commander of the air train- ing center of the army. This increase in number of applications came imme- diately after Lindbergh’s trans-atlan- tained ever since. There are now ad- mitted to the primary flying school 600 students a year, as compared with 300 cadets a year before the law known as the “five-year program” was enacted. If the bill now before Congress be- comes a law, the three existing army flying fields at that place, Brooks, Kelly and Duncan will not only be ex- panded, but a new flying field to em- brace 2,400 acres will be established twelve miles northeast of San Anton- io. The provisions of the pending bill authorize the expenditure of $1,- 856,00 for buildings. It would provide room for many additional cadets, and it is stated that to the new field would be moved the aviation force from arch field, situated near Riverside, alif.
