Spe- cial musical program. tw +—Ed Garbrick has moved his cigar and news stand’ from its form- er location in the Bush house block to the room two doors west that was occupied by the Runkle drug store. The Garbrick room will be thrown in- to the lobby of the hotel and for the first time in our memory will be used for other purposes than a cigar and tobacco shop.

The bills will be three eight or an inch narrower than the paper money now in use and an inch shorter, but the size will have nothing to do with the value thereof. The big advantage will be that a man’s roll will not take up so much room in his pocket—but of course, that’s never worried us to any extent. Checks were sent out from Harrisburg, last Saturday, to all fourth class school districts for the semi-annual installment of the an- nual appropriation. The entire amount allotted to Centre county schools is $96,089.32. Two districts in the county, however, failed to re- ceive their vouchers because of fail- ure to file the required certified re- ports. These were Snow Shoe town- ship, $3,900, and Walker township, $2,965. As soon as the reports are filed vouchers will be forwarded. NEW AIRMAIL MARKER PLANNED FOR BELEFONTE. Robert F. Hunter Submits Proposi- tion to Borough Council. Robert F. Hunter appeared before Bellefonte borough council, at iis regular meeting on Monday evening, and submitted a proposition for the erection of an airmail marker or sign which will not only be unique in character but will probably eclipse anything along the line of the trans- continental airmail. He stated that what he has in mind is the con- struction of a sign out of heavy iron pipe and sheet metal roofing 150 feet in length by 18 feet wide. The flat metal roof, or sign is to be painted black with the word ‘‘Bellefonte” in white aluminum paint, the letters to be fifteen feet high by ten wide. Six big searchlights, three on each side of the sign, are proposed to illumi- nate the sign for night fliers, and a big arrow will point the direction to the aviation field. Mr. Hunter stated that he has two locations in view, one out on Thomas Beaver‘s farm and the other‘on a plot of ground owned by the borough up at the reservoir. He expressed the opinion that the Beaver farm would be the best location, as the marker there would be in plain view of the traveling public along the State highway, while if placed at the reservoir nobody would see it unless they went up in the air. Mr. Hunter stated that the expense of erecting and equipping the marker will be from $375 to $400, and this can be arranged for. The only thing he asked the borough to assume was payment for the electric current to illuminate the searchlights, which will probably he about $150 a year. The matter was referred to the Spe- cial committee. A communication was received from Mrs. Charles F. Barner, of east Lamb street, making complaint about mud and water * flooding the pave- ment in front of her home. The mat- ter was referred to the Street com- mittee. Another communication was re- ceived from M. J. Barrick, district engineer of the State Sanitary Water Board, inquiring what council is do- ing in the matter of a sewer survey of the town. A communication was received from Ellis L. Orvis Esq., calling at- tention of council to the fact that Mrs. Daniel Clemson had suffered painful injuries some time ago by stepping into an open manhole in front of the property of her father, P. H. Gherrity, on south Spring street, and called attention to the borough's liability. The matter was referred to the Street committee. The Street committee reported that repairs had been made on the Lam street bridge. : ; The Water committee reported the collection of $550.00 on water taxes, The Finance committee reported a balance of $692.30 in the hands of the borough treasurer. Request was also made for the renewal of notes totaling $3000 and the issuing of new notes for $3500 to meet current bills, which were authorized. The Fire and Police committee brought up the matter of the instal- lation :of four light traffic signs, and Mr. Fleming, representing the C. H. Arnold Co., of Pittsburgh, was pres- ent and detailed the good qualities of the signs manufactured by his com- pany, and which, he stated, met all the requirements of the State High- way ‘Department regulations. cost : $1660, or $2755 installed. Mr, Emerick stated that he _didn’t think it wise to put up new signs now. pretty thoroughly: The matter was discussed and was finally referred back to the Fire and Police commit- tee for further investigation and re- port. ! The question of securing a reduc- tion in insurance rates for Bellefonte. was again brought up and Mr. Cobb, of the Special committee, stated that a representative of the Underwrit- ers’ association was expected in Bellefonte in the near future to check up on what has already been done and decide on what other things the borough must do to secure a reduc- tion. The question of the purchase of new tires for the two pumpers was referred to the Fire and Police com- mittee with power. Bills totaling $2732.48 were ap- proved for payment after which council adjourned. an ini Seven New Members Join Order of DeMolay. At a recent meeting of the Penn Centre chapter Order of DeMolay all degrees were conferred in full cere- monial form upon a class of sevén candidates. The work was done in an excellent manner and the young men of the order are to be congratu- lated for the great good they are do- ing, not only among themselves but throgh the community. All Master Masons of Bellefonte and surround- ing community are cordially invited to attend these meetings and give the boys the support all real “Dads” should. It is expected that the local Chap- ter will be invited to assist at the in- stitution of a new Chapter in a near- by city within the next few months. This will be a concrete expression of appreciation of the work they are do- ing locally. The price} for two signs would be $610, or $1250 installed, while five signs would |: ;defeated .Renoldorf, of Cook, Bellefonte Family Listed in American Genealogy. The third volume of The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, which has just been published by F. A. Virkus and Company, of Chicago, |- contains the lineage record of Henry S. Linn, of Bellefonte. According to this volume, Mr. Linn is descendad in the seventh genera- tion from William Linn, who came from Ireland to Chester county, Pa., in 1732. Philip Rytherach, another immigrant ancestor (1628-1730), came from Wales to Pennsylvania in 1690 and settled at Newtown, Dela- ware county. In this lineage are al- so Hugh Scott, who came to America in 1726; and Hugh Wilson, who came about 1730 and settled in Pennsyl- vania and was one of the commission- ers named in the act to purchase land at Easton for the court house and prison, 1752. He was justice of the peace from 1752 to 1766, and married Sarah Craig. Mr. Linn is a retired merchant, having for a number of years been in charge of China Hall, in the Cen- tre County bank building. He is secretary of the board of trustees of the Bellefonte Academy and a mem- ber of the Society of the Cincinnati, having served as assistant secretary of the Pennsylvania society from 1925 to 1927. Three volumes of the Compendium have been issued to date. These con- tain upwards of 20,000 American lineages from the first ancestor in America down to the present genera- tions. The indexes to these three volumes are the most extensive gen- ealogical indexes ever compiled for a single publication. They list upwards of 150,000 ancestors and include vir-. tually every name distinguished in the colonial history of America. It is indeed rare that one cannot find one or more of one’s ancestors listed in the indexes. These volumes are in the Belle- fonte Y. M. C. A. library where they are available to the public in the ref- erence room. Banker. After twenty-four year's service with the Farmers and Merchants Na- tional bank, of Tyrone, John S.

GRANDMOTHER BILGER DIED WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Passed Away Almost On Eve of 98th Birthday Anniversary. Mrs. Elizabeth Bilger, probably the oldest woman in Centre county, pass- ed peacefully away at her home at Pleasant Gap, on Wednesday night, almost on the eve of her 98th birth- day anniversary. In fact her chil- dren were already making prepara- tions to again celebrate the event, which would have been next Monday. Mrs. Bilger has been in feeble health all winter and recently had an attack of the grip. She was apparently recovering and on Tuesday was able to sit up and eat her dinner. But 6n Wednesday afternoon she suffered a collapse which resulted in her death that night. Mrs. Bilger's maiden name was Elizabeth Eckly and she was born in Perry county on February 11th, 1831, hence was within five days of being 98 years old. When she was a child her parents moved to Centre county and when she grew to woman- hood she married Jonathan Bilger. The first few years of their married life were spent on a farm in Penns- | valley, thence they moved onto a farm near Zion and forty-five years ago they moved to Pleasant Gap where the family home has been ever since. Mrs. Bilger was a home-loving wo- man and her greatest interest at all times was the welfare of her family and in making her home a cheerful place for friend or stranger. Blessed with a strong constitution and unus- | ual longevity she was quite active, both mentally and physically, up to the past year or two. Her husband died twenty-eight years ago hut surviving her are elev- en children, as follows: Mrs. Loretta Yohey, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. (. |W. Rees and Mrs. Abbie Rockey, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Phoebe Hile, of Pleasant Gap; Nellie, Annie and Vir- gie, at home; Mrs. Elizabeth Bender, of Lancaster; Frank, of Gof, Kan.

MURDER SUSPECT GIVEN LIFE TERM: "Life tence pronounced on Decasto E. May- er, in Superior court at Seattle, | Wash., last week, in what attorneys | trial Mayer characterized as a “murder without a murder charge.” was accused and convicted of steal- | ing "an automobile and watch of James Eugene Bassett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Bassett, of ‘Balti- more, Md., and a néphew of James R. and Charles S. Hughes, of Bellefonte. It will be recalled that several months ago the young man disap- peared in Seattle on the eve of sail- ing for Japan. His automobile and ‘watch were found in the possession of Mayer but no trace was ever found of Bassett, dead or alive. May- er and his supposed mother, Mrs. Mary E. Smith, were arrested and both tried and convicted of grand larceny. It took the jury only five minutes to bring in a verdict of guil- ty against Mayer and the court promptly sentenced him to life im- prisonment. The general belief that Mayer had murdered Bassett .and disposed of his body had no doubt a, lot to. do with him being given a lite term: in: the :penitentiary. < = Joseph Bos¢aiio Has’ Purchased the ‘aus Coll Barber Shop.

For the consideration of those who are thinking of the use of gas for cooking we give the following resume of the experience of a local house- keeper during two month’s use of the utility. The cost is compared with that of chestnut coal at $13.50 per ton, carried in. Under her own manage- ment the lady was able to to operate her kitchen range, keeping a fire all night, for two months on 1 ton of chestnut, cost $13.50 Her gas bill for December was $3.57 Her gas bill for January was 3.40 Her stove cost $121.50 and two month's interest on that is 1.22 8.19 Cash saved by use of gas $5.31 At the above rate her saving for the year would be $31.86. It should be remembered, however, that she lost the heat of her coal range which would have been a con- siderable item had she not have had a steam radiator installed in her kitchen. This resulted in no ap- preciable increase in consumption of coal in the furnace. She also lost the supply of hot wa- ter always generated by the coal range. This was taken care of by in- stalling a $17.00 Excelso heater on the steam boiler in the cellar which gives more and hotter water than the range produced without any notice- able increase in the amount of coal or firing of the furnace. In the light of this experience in an average home in Bellefonte we summarize the advantages and dis- advantags of gas for cooking as fol- follows: With gas a saving of $31.86 per year is possible. The ‘e is no lugging of coal or ashes. 'rhe kitchen is cleaner because there is no smoke or soot in the air. A hot fire is avail- able in an instant at any moment of the day or night. There will be a cool kitchen to work in during the sultry summer weather. Against these very desirable ad- vantages are only two serious disad- vantages. One is the loss of heat from the kitchen range which was depended on to take the dampness out of the house, occasionally in the spring and fall, before the steam heating plant is started. The other is the loss of the hot wa- ter produced by the range during the four or five summer months when the house heating plant is not in operation. This can be taken care of, however, at a cost certainly no greater than the cash saving of $31.86 shown above. —————————— ere e— ——Among the six eminent au- thors who have been engaged to lec- ture during the next summer insti- tute at State College,” are Joseph Hergesheimer, Pennsylvania novelist and short story writer; Edward Davi- son, English poet; Vachel Lindsay, one of America’s major poets; Pro- fessor John Macy, of Columbia Uni- versity, who was formerly editor of the “Nation;” Miss Helen L.
