INTESTATE LAWS
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
In the following article is discussed
‘the distribution of an estate where
the husband or the wife died without
having made a will.
If the husband or wife dies without
a will, leaving a surviving spouse but
no children or grandchildren, the sur-
viving spouse is entitled to select real
or personal property from the estate
of the value of five thousand dollars,
and in case the surviving spouse is
the widow she is also entitled to her
‘widow’s exemption of $500. Thus, if
the estate is $5000 or less and there
are no children or grandchildren, the
surviving spouse is entitled to the en-
tire estate absolutely. If the estate
4s more than $5000 the surviving
spouse is also entitled to one-half of
the remaining real and personal es:
tate. The other half of the real and
personal estate is distributed equally
to the parents of the deceased and if
one of the parents is dead the sur-
-viving parent takes all of the rve-
‘maining one-half. If both parents are
dead the remaining one-half is divid-
«d equally among the brothers and
sisters of the deceased, the children
of a deceased brother or sister taking
their parent’s share and dividing
:same equally. If there are no broth-
«ers or sisters, the remaining one-half
‘is divided equally among the nephews
and nieces. The reader should bear
in mind that the foregoing applies
only in the event there is a surviving
spouse (husband or wife) living at
the death of the deceased, but no chil-
dren or grandchildren.
Let us next consider the case where
the husband or wife leaves a surviv-
ing spouse and one child or children
.of a deceased child. In this event the
surviving spouse is entitled to one-
“half of ‘the real and personal estate
and the other one-half of the estate
goes to the child or, if the child is
dead, the other one-half of the estate
is divided equally among his or her
«children. The above applies where
there is a surviving spouse and one
child or children of a deceased child
living at the death of the deceased.
Where the husband or wife dies
without a will, leaving a surviving
spouse and more than one child or
.one child and children of a deceased
«child or children, grandchildren, the
surviving spouse is entitled to one-
third of the estate, real and personal,
and the remaining two-thirds is di-
vided equally: among the surviving
children, and if any of the children
shall have died, leaving children, said
children take the share their parent
would have taken if living.
The law also provides that where
the husband or wife has been guilty
of willful and malicious desertion for
a period of one year or upwards they
shall have no right to claim any title
or interest in the estate of their
spouse.
Industrial’ Men Take "Penn" State
Course.
An intensive two-weeks’ course in
«wonference leader training is now in
progress at the Pennsylvania State
‘College. The course, given as a part
‘of the regular summer session pro-
gram, is for training of men in in-
dustries who are in turn responsible
for the training of foremen and ap-
prentices in their plants. The pur-
pose of the course according to Prof.
E. T. Struck, head of the department
of industrial education, is to prepare
men to take charge of foreman train-
Jng from within the outside to super-
-wise special training.
Mr. C. E. Hedden, one of the State
wocational industrial education super-
visors is conducting the course.
About ten men sent here by their
employing firms are meeting for five
hours daily in the discussion group.
Instruction in this course will con-
tinue until July 28. The course is a
part of the program of the State De-
partment of Public Instruction.
The second nature education camp
of the Pennsylvania State College
summer session opened this week in
the Seven Mountains near here. The
first camp which was held for three
weeks closed July 19.
The Passing of Trains.
The president of one of the largest
railroad systems in the country an-
nounced the other day in a statement,
that he would predict that no rail-
roads would operate passenger trains
five years from now. This line of
business he predicts, will be carried
on by the railroads with airplanes.
The Pennsylvania system, it is an-
nounced, has already under contract
a fleet of airplanes which they in-
tend to begin using soon to replace
trains on important joints .
It has been predicted that the time
“is mot far distant when planes will |
“take ‘the place of our transcontinent-
al ‘trains, with the flying time being
from sunrise to sunset of the same
day, across the United States.
Hast year there were 2,000 air-
planes built at a cost of fourteen-
-million ‘dollars in this country, and
figures for this year indicate a
-growth of large proportions that will
“break all expectations.
"There is keen competition between
different concerns that are équipped
for public flying now, and the possi-
bilities of the future cannot be con-
ceived by the ordinary individual at
‘this time.
Some High Spots in Farm History
1876—First State Board of Agri-
«culture formed.
1877—Experimental work in agri-
culture began at Pennsylvania State
College.
1878—FEnactment of the first State
legislation to regulate the sale of
.pelomargarine.
1879—Passage of the first State
fertilizer law to protect farmers from
fraudulent and misrepresented com-
mercial fertilizers.—Pennsylvamnia De-
partment of Agriculture.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT
There's something radically wrong with
the man who keeps his business and re-
ligion separate.—Uncle Philander.
—If you suffer from perspiration
try mixing an ounce of common bak-
ing powder and the same amount of
unscented talcum powder. Keep in
air-tight bottle and use freely after
washing.
water is excellent. Then dust with
the powder mixture.
—*“Skirts are full and slightly long-
er, but they’re so graceful that I'm
sure they will be welcome.
and flounces, tiers, ruffles and puffed
effects are seen, and godets and cir-
cular inserts sometimes substitute for
the ever-popular pleat. Patou, for
instance, achieves an effect of anima-
tion by using pin-tucked georgette
flounces cut in circular pattern and
the result is very chic, indeed.
“Ever so many of the taller wo-
men are wearing the long-coated en-
semble with the fullness in the skirt.
Chanel has a particularly intriguing
one that combines a sleeveless frock
with a long coat scalloped and edged
with red cordings. I’ve seen it in
navy and white and also in black and
‘white.
—“Something a bit different is be-
ing done by Chantal, who has been
represented by smart frocks for af-
ternoon which have the flattering ir-
regular neckline, and on the right
figures the equally flattering mould-
ed hipline with the wrapped skirt.
dresses in lame crepe de chine and
satin are striking and stately when
draped to mould the figure of a tall,
well-formed wearer. For the figure
that apepars to advantage in the
bouffant models, moire, taffeta, stiff
satins, brocades and cire satins are
being shown and worn.
“As for the lucky girl who can
wear floating, fluffy affairs chiffons
are still the blessing they always are,
and tulle, lace, and marquisette, some-
times dotted, can be used to help vary
her evening wardrobe, Louiseboulang-
er is using the jutting silhouette and
it is most charming.
Paris—The lingerie touch is so im-
portant on frocks that the mere pres-
ence of dainty collars and cuffs of
some washable fabric at once gives a
frock smarter air.
Fortunately, it is ap economical
and easy way of rejuvenating last
year’s dresses. But unfortunately,, it
also has the quality of keeping the
laundry very busy.
In addition to collars and cuffs
crisp organdie and lace make ves-
tees and jabots which are particular-
ly refreshing on frocks of the smart
stiff silks such as taffeta, moire or
satin. There is a quaint, pictur-
esque quality to the lingerie or lace-
trimmed taffeta frock which does a
great deal to give its air of novelly
and demonstrates effectively the fem-
inine trend in fashions.
Premet is putting a round gilet of
white organdie on the blouse of a
charming sapphire-blue taffeta. This
gilet is_trimmed with four jabots of
organdiSiedged th black, the top one
much’ larger than the lower three.
The sleeves are trimmed with double
flaring cuffs, the inner one being of
stitched taffeta and the outer cuff of
organdie edged in black.
Another model in black taffeta such
as our grandmothers used to wear,
has the tight sleeves trimmed with
most to the elbow and the surplice
closing edged with a similar ruffle in
front.
Francoise puts neat little turncver
collars and cuffs of white pique on
her daytime frocks of soft wool or
crepe. Nicole Groult makes the tail-
leur dainty and feminine by introduc-
ing a white lingerie blouse and curv-
ing and the jacket closing. A white
line blouse is worn with a jacket of
white shantung and a pleated skirt
of black satin. It is worn with black
and white dotted tie. :
—For morning and sports wear
the one and two piece silk, linen or
pique frock in white or pastel shades
is always appropriate. A contrast-
ing cardigan, for jacket, in jersey,
cashmere, flannel or velveteen is not
only smart but essentially useful.
A clever one-piece dress that meets
this need is fashioned of silk Shan-
tung, smartly cut in modishly geo-
metrical lines that reveal inverted
pleats giving the swing and sweep so
necessary for sports freedom and so
chicly meeting Dame Fashion’s de-
mands.
For cooler days, I recommend light-
weight flannel and the silk and wool
mixtures. Here is a three-piece cos-
‘ume that will fit many an occasion.
It is made of a silk and Australian
wool mixture of Lanvin green.
The small collar of the jacket is
both becoming and convenient when
worn under a topcoat, and the diag-
onally-fashioned pleats, that begin
just below the hip line and graduate
toward the front, add an unmistak-
able note of interest and smartness.
Similarly practical are the one and
two piece frocks of lightweight
tweed, mannishly tailored, and cos-
tumes that combine the angora or
fine cashmere blouse with a skirt of
silk crepe.
For all-around wear over either
dress or sport ensemble I can think of
no better investment than the show-
erproof coat of English tweed made
in the fashion of a trench coat and
lined through-out with silk.
—Fresh green peas have a much
sweeter, more toothsome taste if one
cooks a few of the tender pods with
them, or cooks a few leaves of let-
tuce over the top.
—1Iced coffee runs a close second to
iced tea in these days of fervent heat.
Have ready some freshly made strong
coffee. To every two cupfuls add a
cupful of slightly warmed milk or
cream and sugar to sweeten. Chill
then turn into freezer and freeze to a
soft mush. Serve with a spoonful of
whipped cream, piled lightly on eack
glass. If preferred, the prepared cof-
fee can be simply chilled and served
without the whipped cream.

FARM NOTES.
—Keep the cultivator going in the
| young strawberry bed. The next two
months determine the 1929 crop.
—Spray Colorado potato beetles
with arsenate of lead at the rate of
6 pounds to 100 gallons of bordeaux
mixture.
—Summer is the time to repaint
your pantry a gaudy color. Why not
try a Chinese red on the shelves and
cream walls, for a change?
—Keep a close watch on your birds
for the appearance of lice and mites.
Poultry mites may be controlled by
painting the roosts monthly with used
crank case oil.
—Efficient dairy cows will retumn
a profit on grain fed even when the
pasture is good. A small quantity of
summer grain keeps up the milk flow
and builds up the cow for winter.
! —Timely succession plantings of
vegetables include endive, gennel,
dwarf snap beans, root celery, late
celery; kale, kohl rabi, and lettuce,
say State College vegetable garden-
ers.
—Weeds must be annihilated with-
‘out mercy even if the weather is too
"hot for comfort. It no weeds are per-
mitted to go to seed in the lawn or
garden, there will be fewer to fight
; next year.
—Now is the time to select the
dairy animals intended for exhibition
at the fall fairs. They should be fed
well during the remainder of the sum-
mer, groomed daily, and taught to
lead and stand.
I —Ants may be exterminated in
lawn or garden by driving a rod down
into the nest and pouring boiling
water, in which potatoes have been
boiled, down into the hole. Lye wa-
ter also is effective.
—Perennials planted now for next
year’s borders must receive sufficient
moisture to germinate the seeds. If
it is not possible to plant after a
soaking rain, the soil should be thor-
oughly saturated by sprinkling.
—Rose chafers are poisonous to
chicks under six weeks of age if con-
sumed in any quantity. The only
treatment known is to keep the chicks
from eating the rose chafers. Keep
the chicks yarded until rose bug sea-
son is past. They usually last about
one month.
—Weatherproof whitewash can be
made by slaking 62 pounds of quick-
lime in 12 gallons of hot water. Dis-
solve two pounds of common table
salt and one pound of zinc sulphate
in two gallons of boiling water and
add to the lime mixture. Then add
two gallons of skimmilk and stir
thoroughly.
—Calves on pasture should be visit-
ed frequently, and if the feed gets
short they should receive grain or
some other supplemental feed, say
State College dairy specialists. A
check in growth always is expensive
because it dwarfs the animal and de-
lays the time that the heifers should
come into milk.
—Spray the cows daily for greater
milk production. When cows are
fighting files, standing in streams or
i running through ‘brush they are ‘rot
{ filling up on pasture or chewing their
cud contentedly and making milk. A
i light thin blanket thrown over the
cow’s back while milking also saves
‘a few whacks around the head from
the cow’s tail.
—Harrisburg—“Cut, dig out and
destroy all weeds,” says Secretary of
| Agriculture, C. G. Jordan. “Why?
Because they cost the Pennsylvania
farmers 40 millions of dollars an-
nually. They are his worst foe. This
is sufficient argument for their de-
struction.
“When should this work be done?
‘Behold, now is the accepted time.’
‘While in bloom, before the seeds
form, grind your scythe, sharpen your
hoes and get busy.
“Who should cut the weeds? All
farmers; all owners or operators of
uncultivated land (who are as a rule
our worst offenders); the Highway
Department; manufacturers; coal op-
erators; railroad operators, both
steam and electric; school directors;
borough and city councils; and all
other persons responsible for lands
overgrown by weeds.
“Send to the Department of Agri-
culture, Harrisburg, Pa., for our free
weed bulletin, also get in touch with
your county agent for additional in-
formation.
“Cut and destroy weeds and hyush
of every kind in order that vour fazm
as well as your State may look beau-
tiful and prosperous.
“My exhortation is, let all farm-
ers and parties responsible for lands
of any kind get busy immediately and
make a complete clean-up prior to
the 25th of July.”
—“The law of Pennsylvania gives
public officials the authority to cut
and destroy two of our worst weeds—'
Canada thistle and chicory, and
charge the cost to the owner of the
land. My suggestion is that you cut
your own weeds, save officials the
trouble, and keep the money for the
work in your pocket.
“Canada thistle and chicory are not
the only destructive weeds. The ox-
eye daisy is spreading very rapidly in
Pennsylvania and should be cut or
dug before the seeds form. Wild
mustard is practically taking thous-
ands of acres of land in our Common-
wealth, Get after it. The morning
glory is a real pest in many locali-
ties. Turn your hogs in. They will
dig out the large juicy roots as they
seem to like them almost as well as
corn. Quack grass should be hoed out
or moyed down before the seeds
form. Destroy the devil’s paint
| brush before it devils you to death.
“George A. Suart, of the Bureau
of Markets, Pennsylavnia Department
of Agriculture, can tell you how to
get rid of your wild garlic. Do you
have wild carrots? Turn in your
sheep and they will take care of them.
Sheep are the best weed destroyers
we have and also give the farmer his
easiest money. They will clean up
your farm and fill your pocketbook.
Cows will take care of elder bushes
and other brush and at the same time
will furnish cream for your strawber-

The United States Leads the World in
Telephone Service.
A recently completed statistical sur-
vey of the world’s telephone develop-
ment shows that Pennsylvania had on
January 1, 1927, more telephones than
France, Belgium and Bulgaria com-
bined.
There were about 1,010,500 Bell
telephones in operation in this State
on that date. This figure was sub-
stantially increased during 1927 and
the first six months of 1928, however,
so that today there are approximate-
ly 1,100,000 Bell telephones alone in
Pennsylvania.
France, Belgium and Bulgaria had
on January 1, 1927, a total of 1,005,-
553 telephones. Another indication
of the extensive use of the telephone
in this State is afforded by the fact
that it had nearly as many instru-
ments in operation at that time as
Italy, Austria, Belgium, Hungary,
Norway, Spain and Czechoslovakia
combined.
Not only in Pennsylvania, but
throughout the nation, telephone de-
velopment is shown by the survey
figures to be well in advance of the
expansion of this form of communica-
ticn in Europe and the rest of the
world.
New York, for instance, had almost
Great Britain and northern Ireland.
Chicago had more than all France.
Los Angeles had almost as many as
Austria and Belgium combined. The
eight American cities with a popula-
tion of 1,000,000 or more had more
than half as many telephones as the
Not only had the United States
more telephones than the total for
all the rest of the world, but Ameri-
cans used them, as they do now, more
often than the inhabitants of any oth-
er country. There were 205 tele-
phone conversations per capita in this
country in 1926. Canada came next
with 195 telephone conversations per
capita. Germany reported 32 conver-
sations per capita, while in Great
Britain and Northern Ireland there
were but 27 per capita, and only 17
per capita in France. More than half
the telephones in the world are in the
United States and all of them are
under private control and manage-
ment.
The State Has Contracted for 6000
Ringneck Pheasants.
Contract for the purchase of 6000
ringneck pheasants has been made
by the Board of Game Commission-
ers. The birds will be distributed in
suitable territory next spring by
county game protectors.
Meanwhile experiments being made
by employes of the commission to
raise ringnecks are proving success-
ful, according to reports made by the
game refuge keepers.
Because of ideal conditions a six
acre tract recently was leased at
Asaph, Tioga county, where holding
pens will be erected to properly house
the young birds until they can be re-
leased next spring. Holding pens al-
ready have been constructed at the
