GLOBE CIRCLERS FLY
OVER BELLEFONTE.
John Henry Mears and Charles B.
D. Collyer, who on Sunday completed
their effort in circling the earth and
establishing a record for the quick-
est trip ever made around the world,
flew over Bellefonte at 1:45 o’clock
Sunday afternon on the last lap of
their journey to New York. . The two
men spent Saturday night at Minne-
apolis, Minn., and early on Sunday
morning telephoned to the Bellefonte
aviation field that they would land
here and to have fifty gallons of gas
ready for them. But on nearing
Cleveland they discovered that their
gas supply was running low and they
stopped there and took on a supply.
Consequently when they reached
Bellefonte in their big monoplane they
“didn’t stop but: Mr. Collyer, who ma-
nipulated the controls, and who is an
old airmail pilot, flew low over Belle-
fonte and the aviation field, so that
the few who had gathered at ths
field felt sure the plane was coming
to earth, but after flying over the
field the pilot rose in the air and sail-
ed away to the east. Heavy fogs and
low-hanging clouds forced the plane
TATE.—Mrs. Ada Kephart Tate
died at her home in Cleveland, Ohio,
on Saturday night, as the result of
sciatic rheumatism, with which she
{had been afflicted for several years.
She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Fillmore, Centre county, where all her
girlhood life was spent. As a young
woman she married W. C. Tate and
they established a home in Clearfield,
where Mr. Tate was connected with
the New York Central railroad. Later
they moved to Norfolk, Va., and fin-
ally to Cleveland, Ohio, where they
have lived ever since. She has one
son, Matlock Kephart Tate, who re--
sides at Lima, Ohio. She also leavas
one sister, Mrs. S. K. Dickerson, Jf
Cleveland.
The remains were taken to Clear-
field where funeral services were held
at four o’clock on Tuesday afternoon,
by Rev. Heckman, of the Methodist
church, of which she was a life-long
member, burial being made in the
Tate lot in the Clearfield cemetery.

at his home in Juniata, on Monday
evening, following two year’s illness.
He was a son of George and Eleanor
Krider and was born near Graysville
fifty-nine years ago. As a young man
he learned the carpenter’s trade and
later went to Blair county where he

Committees Report on Arrangements
for Motor Clubs Picnic.
At a meeting of the picnic commit-
tees of the Centre county and Lock
Haven motor clubs, held at the Nit-
tany County club on Monday evening,
the various sub-committees gave very
down at Middletown and again ost
Susquehanna, so that it was almost |
seven o'clock when the men finally |
landed in New York.
Mears and Collyer left New York |
at five o'clock in the morning on!
June 29th, and in their travels used
a seaplane, ships and their own mon-
oplane. Their official time for the
trip was 23 days, 15 hours, 21 min-
utes and 3 seconds, while the bes:
previous record, made by Linton
Wells and Edward Evans, of New
York, was 28 days, 14 hours, 36 min-
utes and 5 seconds.
——This is the day for the public
sale of forty shares of Whiterock
Quarries common stock, the property

place at the court house at two

——We don’t know what happened
to Gene Tunney last night because
these writings were in print before
the marine contribution to the fistic in-
telligensia had fulfilled his engage-
ment with “the man from down un-
der.” If we had been in Tunney’s shoes
we wouldn’t have cared what happen-
ed to us, for no matter how long
Heeney would certainly have put us
to sleep the awakening to find our-
selves possessor of five hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars would be
the grandest one we ever did or ever
expect to have. In truth, between the
cats, and the dogs, and the racing mo-
tor engines, and the songs that effer-
vesce from human “moonshine” con-
tainers we get so little sleep these
nights that a soporific swat on the
button seems to us something to be
courted about bedtime. There have
been times we would have paid five
hundred and twenty five thousand
bucks—in stage money, of course—
for just such a punch.

Exit the Trout Fishing Season.
Only four more days remain of the
trout fishing season for this year and
the writer personally knows several
fishermen who are deeply regretting
that fact. While none of them have
been persistent fishermen they have
been out at various times during the
season without making any catches to
brag about until the past week or
two, and now when they feel that
their casting arm has not lost its
cunning they are loath to see the end
of the season.
On the whole, however, it has not
been a very good season, especially for
fly fishermen. The frequen: hawd
rains have kept the larger streams
almost continuously in a turmoil.
The water has been high and about
eight-tenths of the time too muddy
for good fishing. The result has been
fewer trout have probably been
caught this season than for a number
of years past, but the redeeming fea-
ture is they are still in the stream.

Beech Creek Man Fatally Injured in NOTORIOUS PEGGY
‘Railroad Accident.
Leonard J. Counsell, thirty-seven
years old, was run down by a New
York Central freight, on the Beech
Creek railroad, Saturday night, and
so badly injured he died in the Lock
Haven hospital on Sunday forenoon.
Counsell, who was unmarried, made
his home with his sister, Mrs. Devest-
er Lindsey, in Beech Creek. While no
one saw the accident it is presumed
the man, on his way home Saturday
night, was walking the railroad as a
short cut to his residence. He was in
sight of his home when the accident
happened. Both legs were almost
severed from the body, he had numer-
ous cuts and bruises, and was thrown
into a ditch alongside the railroad.
Though he was within calling dis-
tance of his sister’s home and could
hear members of the household talk-
ing on the porch, he was unable to
make them hear him, and he lay
where he was thrown until six o’clock
Sunday morning when he was found
by a section crew out on inspection.
He was taken to the Lock Haven hos-
pital but died shortly after being ad-
mitted.
Mr. Counsell was a native of
Blanchard and is survived by his
mother and the following brothers and
sisters: Mrs. Clara Lindsey, of Beech
Creek; Hensel Counsell, of Lock Hay-
en; Ira and Edna, at the family home
in Blanchard; Mrs. Lulu Gardner, of
Blanchard; Mrs. Harry Bowes, of
Monument; and Mrs. Esther Smith,
of Mill Hall.
Funeral services were held at the
Counsell home, in Blanchard, at 2:30
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, by Rev.
David. Neilson, interment in the Dis-
ciple cemetery being in charge of the
Bitner-Bechdel post of the American
Legion.
‘Aged Italian Suffered Fatal Injuries
at Salona Quarries.
Joseph Bianciani, an odd job work-
er at the Salona plant of the Belle-
fonte Lime company, died at the Lock
Haven hospital, last Friday, of injur-'
ies sustained when he fell under the
wheels of a car being shifted on the
company siding. Both of the man’s
legs were broken below the knee, and
he was also injured internally. Hew
| he came to fall is not known. Work-
| men in the quarries heard his cries
| and going to the railroad siding found
the aged man lying under the car. He
was hurried to the Lock Haven hos-
pital but died within an hour.
Bianciani was 86 years old and was
born in Italy. He came to this coun-'
try many years ago and for a long
period of time worked for the Belle-
fonte Lime company, in its plant at
Salona. Finally he was retired on a
pension and came to Bellefonte and
made his home with relatives. But a:
longing for independance and his old
associates caused him to return to
Salona, several months ago, and since
then he had been doing odd jobs at
the company’s plant, living alone in
a small shack near the quarries.
Bianciani was unmarried and leaves
no near relatives.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte and funeral services held in the
Catholic church, on Monday morning,
burial being made in the Catholic
cemetery.
“Specializing in Art Work at State
College.
Miss Mary I. Richer and Byron
Haverly Blackford, both of Bellefonte,
‘are taking summer school work at
‘the Pennsylvania State College. Both
are specializing in public school art
work, fine and applied arts.
This branch of the summer session,
with its three departments of in-
: struction, affords an opportunity to
teachers who wish to continue their
art studies and prepare students who
plan to enter the field of art instruc-
tion. = Special classes are held for
training art teachers, supervisors and
directors in advanced methods of art
education,
In addition, courses in elementary
school drawing, designed to acquaint
the teacher with the rudiments of
drawing and design, are offered dur-
ing the summer session. These funda-
mental courses form the basis for
more advanced study in applied arts,
the crafts, painting and art education
for prospective teachers and super-
visors.
Evangelical Summer School in Full
Swing.
The summer school of religious ed-
ucation of the Evangelical church
opened at Central Oak Heights, West
Milton, on Monday evening, in charge
of Rev. A. F. Weaver. Already 155
people have registered for credit
courses and 21 auditors, making a to-
tal of 176, which exceeds last year’s
registration. The new administration
building is proving a valuable asset to
{ the school from every standpoint. In-
struction is being given ip nine
courses. Some of the ablest miniz-
ters in the church will be present
during the month the school will be
open.

CUTS NEW CAPERS.
Peggy Udell, the Beautiful But
Naughty Chorus Girl who Once |
Ran Away with a Bellefonte
Boy, is Acting Up Again.
Peggy Udell, who a few years ago
created quite a commotion in Belle-
fonte by taking a midnight ride from
Philadelphia to Wilmington, Del.,
where she married, or at least claim-
ed she did, Jack Montgomery, of
Bellefonte, is again in the limelight in
New York City over a fisticuff with
Peggy Green, another chorus girl, in
Ziegfeld’s production, “The Show
Boat.”
When Peggy married Jack Mont-
gomery she believed him -one of the
richest young men in Pennsylvania
and had visions of a life of luxury and
ease far from the frivolities of Zieg-
feld’s follies. But her visions proved
delusions and following months of
legal bickering the wedding was an-
nulled by a Delaware court and Peg-
gy was left high and dry without
even a consolation decree.
She then returned to her parental
home in Milwaukee and in less than
a year married Jimmy Conzelman, a
noted football player. Their married
life was brief and after Jimmy left
her Peggy got a divorce on the
ground of desertion and non-support.
Then she hastened to Hollywood
where stars were pulling down four
figure salaries weekly. But she hadn’t
been there long when the moving pic-
ture colony was startled with the fact
that Peggy had instituted a half-mil-
lion dollar damage suit against a
prominent motion picture official on
the grounds of alleged attempted as-
sault. Then it was that she began
taking lessons in the manly art as a
means of self-protection.
From Hollywood she returned to
New York to star in a picture being
promoted by a Swiss count, but the
count proved to be a bogus gent and
an ex-Sing Sing convict and all
Peggy got out of that experience was
a worthless check for $750, her first
week’s salary.
Then she returned to Ziegfeld as a
member of the chorus in “The Show
Boat,” and her thrilling fistic encount-
er with Peggy Green took place in th:
elevator of the New York theatre dur-
ing an evening performance recently.
According to the story the two Peg-
gys had not been honeyed friends for
some time and their meeting in the
elevator was entirely accidental. Peg-
gY’s description of the affair which
took place in the elevator is as fol-
lows:
“Going down for the second act who
should I run into but Peggy Green.
She made a remark to me which, in
the language of Owen Wister’s fa-
mous novel, “The Virginian,” nobody
can make to me without smiling. I
asked “her to repeat it—and smile,
She repeated it and failed to smile.
“I led with my left and through a
sort of haze saw her head snap back.
It was poor technique. I had missed
the button on her chin and socked her
on the mouth. She came back gamely
and made a pass at me with a set of
finger nails that would have done
credit to a bear. She got a strip of
skin and a lock of hair. I crossed with
my right to her eye. Then we weit
into a clinch, but IT had her tied up
when the rest of the girls pulled us
apart.”
Peggy visited Bellefonte several
times during her legal fight with Jack
Montgomery, stopping for several
days at a time at the Brockerhoff
house, and at that time she did not
look especially pugnacious, but her
latest episode resulted in her losing
her job in the chorus of “The Show
Boat” and she is now probably look- |
ing for another engagement. |

Chamber Session.
A mantle of mystery hung over
the movements of borough council-
men, on Tuesday evening. Quietly,
land stealthily they made their way, |
"one by one, to the public building, on
east Howard street, until seven of
them were present when they were
called to order by the president and
on motion of one of the members at
once went into extraordinary session
to consider a matter which they deem-
ed of vital importance to the borough.
As no newspaper men were permit-
ted present in the star chamber meet-
ing it is impossible to give a report
of what took place, but the taxpayers
of Bellefonte will probably learn in
due time what the meeting was for.
The two members who were not pres-
ent were Bill Emerick and Robert
Kline. :
When the council came out of their
chamber session the Special commit-
tee had a conclave with the fire in-
surance agents of Bellefonte over the
question of a reduction in insurance
rates forthe town. Thisisa mat-
ter that has been discussed at period-
ical intervals during the past twenty
vears but nothing in the line of re-
duction has ever been obtained. Some
ten or twelve years ago the board of
underwriters increased the deficiency
charge in Bellefonte because the fire
fighting apparatus was deemed anti-
quated and out of date.
At that time Bellefonte had the two
steam pumpers, which were all right
when in service, but the town was
lacking in horses to haul the appara-
tus. Then the borough spent twenty
thousand dollars to motorize the de-
partment with two high grade pump-
ers and chemical outfits, and shortly
thereafter the deficiency charge was
again increased. Since then the board
of underwriters have submitted a long
list of things which Bellefonte must
put in effect in order to secure a re-
duction in rates, and while the ques-
tion has been discussed time and
again nothing definite has yet been
done.
At the present time Bellefonte’s de-
ficiency charge is 22 cents while State
College is rated at 16 cents. Whether
the movement that has now been
started for a reduction in rates will
amount to anything remains to be
seen. x

State College Radio Station Resumes
Broadcasting.
Radio Station WPSC of the Penn-
sylvania State College, this week open-
its summer session series of
broadcasts, and will continue with
programs for the remainder of the
session on each Tuesday and Wednes-
day night, at 7 o'clock, standard time.
The station opened with new equip-
ment and adjustments following theft
of some valuable tubes ‘on the night
of June 16, and it is declared that the
quality of the broadcasts is better
than ever.
The Tuesday night programs are
given by artists of the institute of
music education, a feature of the col-
lege summer session. This introdue-
tory program last Tuesday was de-
clared to be one of the best programs
ever broadcast by WPSC, every artist
being an experienced broadcaster with
appearances at some of the largest
eastern stations. On Wednesday
nights the college radio audiences will
be treated to talks by the outstand-
ing authors and lecturers.on litera-
ture and poetry who are visiting lec-
turers each week at the institute of
English education. Next week the
speaker will be Lewis Browne. Be-
fore the close of the summer session
the newly organized summer session
orchestra will give a special program
There will be no Sunday broadcasts
until after the opening of college in
September.

‘Dam is Completed for Penn State's
Winter Sport Field.
Plans for the student winter sports
memorial park at the Pennsylvania
State College with adequate facilities
for ice skating, hockey, skiing and
tobogganing are rapidly materializ-
ing with the completion of the large
dam which is the principal feature of
the project. The construction of this
dam is the first step taken by the
student body of the college in the
actual laying out of such a park.
The class of 1927 was the pioneer
in this movement by pledging funds
for the erection of the dam. The
next four classes followed suit by
voting their memorial funds to ‘he
project. Provisions for a toboggan
slide and ski jumps have been made
and these features will be added lat-
er. Ice skating will be the main fea-
ture of the winter playground and it
is possible that ice hockey will be
added to Penn State’s list of athletic
activities. ;
The face of the dam, which is situ-
ated at Thompson’s Springs just out-
side the borough limits, is 300 feet
long. When in use the dam will form
about an acre and a half of smooth
water which will freeze in cold
weather. Until a careful analysis
of the water has been taken swim- |
ming will be prohibited.
=Containers for fruit should meet
the demand of the consumer and be
suitable for the variety of fruit.
Small containers are used more now
than the larger types.
