== == | Bellefonte, Pa., October 19, 1928. i CRB nS——— mn amamm— a i AIRMAIL ACROSS NATION | IN A SINGLE DAY.' Trans-continental air mail service is to be speeded up. : The mail is now carried between | Hadley Field, N. J., and San Fran-/ cisco in a little more than thirty-one hours but the Postoffice Department . believes the time can be cut to less than twenty-four hours. i It is planned to save a business | day at either end of the route by | placing the mail in the terminal | postoffices at the beginning of the | business day. That is one method of | cutting down the time. Another is faster airplanes. And still another factor will be a readjustment in the flying schedule. This latter plan is | now being worked out. Under the present arrangement the Western mail arrives at the New York and San Francisco post-office too late for delivery before the clos- ing of business on the day of arrival. Special preparations for the new and faster service are being made by The National Air Transportation, Inc., which carries the mail between New York and Chicago, and the Boe- nig Air Transport which flies the mail betwen Chicago and San Francisco. Eight Falcon biplanes, having a top speed of 146 miles an hour, have been purchased by the National Air Transport Company. This is a speed of some twenty miles an hour faster than the planes now in use. Except for the lack of armament, the Fal- cons are similar to the modern army attack planes. : : The fast “Boenig 95” is now being used more frequently in carrying mail, the Boenig company dividing its mail and passenger service be- tween large passenger transports and the lighter and speedier “95.” The “Boenig 95” has a top speed of bet- ter than 145 miles an hour and re- sembles the navy’s bombing planes. A lighted airway is being installed by the Department of Commerce be- tween Salt Lake City and San Fran- cisco. Heretofore this division of the transcontinental air mail has had to! confine its flying to the daytime. : The faster planes and the lighted airway, those interested in the suc- | cess of the air mail line believe, will | cut down delivery of letters from | coast to coast to less than twenty- | four hours. | Another factor making for speed will be the removal of the Eastern | air mail terminal from Hadley Field, | near New Brunswick, N. J., to the | Newark, N. J., municipal airport now i nearing completion and scheduled for | opening on October 1. | | 1 Hunters Funds Buy New Lands. | A year ago the resident hunter's | license fee in Pennsylvania was in-| creased by acts of Legislature from | $1.25 to $2.00, the 75 cent increase “to be used exclusively for the crea- | tion, acquisition by purchase, lease, | or otherwise, and the maintenance of public hunting grounds and game ! refuges.” The increase thus provided ; amounts to about $375,000 per year. | This fund is administered through’ the bureau of refuges and lands, and has permitted the game commission to carry on a very extensive land pur- | chase program. All lands purchased | will remain the permanent property of : the sportsmen of the Commonwealth. The game commission now has under contract for purchase in various parts of the State a grand total of 84,497 acres which will be purchased, if titles are found te be satisfactory, from the funds accruing from this 75 cent increase. This announcement was made today by W. Gard Conklin, chief of the bureau of refuges and lands. Since June 1, 1927, a total of 13,018 acres of land have been conveyed to the Commonwealth and are designat- ed as State game lands. Anly a few days ago the commission obtained titles to 3,112 acres of land located in Mineral, Victory and Irwin town- ships, Venango county, purchased from the Sancrik Lumber company. This area is included in the 13,013. acres This tract of land is now open to public hunting. An additional 2,810 acres of land adjoining are now under contract for purchase and when title is finally obtained, sportsmen in that vicinity will have a good sized area, 5,922 acres set aside for their GHOSTS DON'T BOTHER ; WHITE HOUSE PEOPLE. The American public generally may | be adverse to buying or renking % house in which a former occupant has | died, but it is not so with one house ; in the United States. No one has ever complained of | “ghosts” in the White House. Yet two presidents have died in the big cool rooms of the Colonial mansion of the chief executive, Presidents Wil- liam Henry Harrison and old Zachary , Taylor. If there are “spirits” an interesting , host must keep watch over the White House. From the frock-ceated, knee- buckled and silk stocking gentlemen of Colonial times they stretch down a colorful costume corridor to the mod- ern garbed chiefs of recent times. They are a cosmopolitan group. Seventeen Presidents came of Eng- lish stock, six of Scotch-Irish, two of Scotch, two Dutch, one Welsh and one Scotch-Dutch. Fifteen were the sons of farmers and planters. Four were sons of lawyers, three of mer- chants, three of clergymen, and one each of a doctor, a constable, a tanner and an iron maker. Eight were of very poor families, while the others were of varied circumstances, mostly middle class. There have been few rich Presidents. All Presidents except Buchanan were married, and Tyler, Fillmore, Benjamin Harrison, Roosevelt and Wilson were married twice, Tyler had the most children, seven by each of two marriages, while Washington, Madison, Jackson, Polk, Buckanan and Harding were childless. John Adams’ son became President, and William Henry Harrison was the grandfather of a President. Twenty Presidents went to college, several by their own efforts. Fifteen were soldiers, twenty lawyers, four- ten served in the House of Repre- sentatives, twelve in the Senate, and nine were vice-residents. Four Presi- dents were never elected, merely serving out the remainder from the vice-presidency due to the President’s death. Eight Presidents were Episcopal- ians, seven Presbyterians, four Meth- odists, four Unitarian, two Dutch Re~ formed, and one each Baptist, Dis- ciples and Congregational. One mar- ied a Catholic, President John Ty- er. President Roosevelt, who was in- augurated when 42 years old, was the youngest President. William Henry Harrison, 68, was the oldest. Gar- field died youngest, at 49, from an assassin’s bullet, while John Adams, who lived until he was 90, died the oldest. Three Presidents were assassinated, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. Jack- son was shot at while in office, an Roosevelt, when a candidate, was wounded in 1912. hme er ene Pennsylvania School Children Active | in Junior Red Cross. ! Conducting clean up campaigns, protecting birds, beautifying school yards, and maintaining correspon- dence with children of many other lands are some of the activities of more than 847,000 Pennsylvania school children, members of the Amer- ican Red Cross cited in the organi- zation’s annual report recently made public. Enrolled under the motto, “I serve,” the Juniors are said to be carrying ion activities in their schools and com- munities, the influence of which literally reaches around the world. Through a system of international cor- respondence, fostered by the organi- zation, they have been exchanging portfolios and letters during the school year with the Juniors of oth- er countries, which aside from its educational value is believed to be promoting international unity and un- derstanding. In the jurisdiction of the State College Chapter Miss Irene | Kitzky, who is Junior Red Cross chairman, is hoping that some of this international school correspondence may be begun this year. As part of the program of the Jun- iors, the local members of the Junior Red Cross sent two hundred valen- tines and four hundred Easter greet- ings to disabled veterans in the gov- ernment hospital in Philadelphia. In Pennsylvania 3,178 schools are participating in the Junior Red Cross, in which 347,410 pupils are enrolled. Beginning as a war measure pre- cipitated by the wish of school chil- dren to participate in war relief and other activities, the Junior movement has spread throughout the world and “vital problems of the age.’ HOW TO SOLVE A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE When the correet letters are placed in the white spaces this puzsle will spell words both vertically and horigontally.

Solution of Last Week's Puzzle. Sounds Warning Against Politics En- tering Pulpit. A warning against “intrusion of politics and economies in the pulpits . and on the platforms of the Church,” was uttered by the Rt. Rev. Charles Palmerston Anderson, bishop of Chi- cago, in a sermon opening the for- ty-ninth triennial general convention of the Eniscopal church at Washing- ton D. C. Bishop Anderson made an impas- sioned plea for religious liberty, hail- ed the achievements of science as “the crowning glory of the twentieth cen- tury,” and sharply rebuked secularism and intolerance with the scornful question: “Are men to be compelled by law to teach their children a spe- cial brand of religion?” In his clos- ing passages he severely took his own Church to task for not meeting the burning flesh.

Birds Outclassed. Factory-made wings have eclipsed the feathered species. Lindbergh’s non-stop flight was 3,610 miles. The distance flown by Chamberlain and Levine is estimated from 3,900 to 4,- 400 miles. The longest nonstop flights of birds have been those of Alaskan lovers from the Aleutian islands to awaii, a distance of 2,400 miles and the annual migration of golden plov- ers from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. . the range of Church activity. ‘a vastly different thing to bring the i form, duct, whether in society or business or politics, in which the follower of Christ can detach himself from his religion.” The bishop then added: “You will not construe this as a plea for the intrusion of politics and eco- nomics in the pulpits and on the plat- form of the Church. The Church has something more important to do. is one thing, however, to bring party politics and economic theories Je t is forces of religious conviction and ex- perience into action in our social and political life. Party politics pollute religion, but religion purifies polities. “Whenever the church spends its energies on social and political re- or undertakes to fight the world’s political and social battles by sing the world’s weapons, or identi- fies itself with the world in the hope of producing a glorified human so- ciety by external pressure, the re- sult will inevitably be a loss of mor- als. It is beginning at the wrong end. It is patching up the. machinery of society which may work today and break down tomorrow, instead of re- constructing the motives of men. “The church as such does not know political parties nor economic theo- ries. Soldiers’ Suffering. There were times during the World war when artillerymen at the front did not stir for days from under the camouflage of their guns, except at night, according to Charles Mac- Arthur in an article in Liberty mag- azine. “All work was done at night,” writes MacArthur, and when the sun Commissioner of Fisheriess N. R. Buller has returned from a tour of the hatcheries, where he has made ar- rangements for the fall shipments of fish. This is what is known as the height of the season to the board of fish commissioners, and it is now dis-" . tributing trout, perch sunfish and cat- It 'f began to beat down we could feel our J sh. These fish are being shipped from the hatcheries, located at Union City, Pleasant Mount, Bellefonte, Philadel- phia and Corry. The majority of the Shipments are going through by ruck. The policy of the board of fish com- missioners covering the size of fish which are being shipped out has met with the hearty approval of the fish- ermen, Buller said. No trout are be- ing shipped out this year under six inches in length, and there are many seven and eight inches. These fish will make good fishing when the sea- son opens in the spring. Ways to Get the Voters Out. The idea is suggested that it wold be a good idea to ring the church bells on election day, so as to remind the people of the job of good citizen- ship they have to do. Also the idea is advanced of having the fire alarm rung. Also anything that would wake the people from the long civic sleep that has kept so many voters from the polls would be a good scheme. A great many voters fail to vote as a usual thing, and about an hour after the polls close, there are millions who awake to the fact that they have not voted, and wish they had. Something should be done to arouse these slack citizens. Beyond the Counter HIS bank performs for each cus- tomer a service which goes beyond the transaction at the counter.
