Copies of the rules of the na- tional association and also entry blanks, with all additional informa- tion, can be obtained by applying to Secretary H. Frank Dorr, at Ebens- burg. It is known already that many of the locally prominent teams In Western Pennsylvania are going to take part in this contest. The bench show executive commit- tee of the exposition is to meet in Eb- ensburg next week to determine the rules that will govern locally, al- though not to conflict with those of the American Kennel Club, under li- cense of which the Dog show will be held. These rulese and regulations will mostly be in connection with the prizes to be awarded. The executive committee will also appoint working ! committees. George Keener, of Johns- town will be at this meeting and will be ably assisted by Ralph English of Port Matilda, Pa., a nationally known authority on dogs and bench shows. The executive committee consists of ; 25 members.

I. A i— FLOWERING TIME FOR TREES AND SHRUBS. “What time of year do flowers ap- pear on the forest trees and shrubs of Pennsylvania?” is very frequently asked of the Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Forest and Waters by school teachers, students. Boys and Girls scouts, hiking clubs, nature students, botanists and lovers of the outdoor in general. The difference in the time of tree flowers may amount to from one to two weeks in the case of a single spe- cies found in both the northern and southern parts of the State. Trees planted near buildings in towns and cities frequently blossom several days to a week before the same species under exposed conditions in the coun- try. To meet the demand for this in- formation the following table has been prepared in which the relative position of the tree makes it applic- able to any locality in Pennsylvania, The species listed as this month, May and May-June indicate that the time ‘of flowering extends from the latter part of one month into the beginning | of the succeeding month. March—Pussy Willow. March—April—Black willow, silver maple, red maple, elm, cottonwood, alder, Redbud. April—Aspens, birches, maple, dogwood, shad bush, sweet gum, beech. April—May—Sugar maple, hazle- | nut, papaw, buskeyes. April—June—Cucumber, holly. May— Walnuts, hickories, hackber- ry, sassafras, ashes, black haw, choke cherry, fire cherry, oaks, May —June—Striped maple, wild black cherry, crab apple, black locust. ! . . . plenty of light for pre- paring three dinners costs ash-leaved | no more than a cake of yeast honey lo- . cust, red mulberry, black gum, per-. simmon moutain laurel, fringe tree, June— Rhododendron, maple, common basswood, hawthorns, ailanthus, Kentucky coffee tree, osage orange.

A total of 189 persons have lost their lives as a result of prohibition | enforcement activities of the federal ! government between 1920 and 1929, official figures made public at the Treasury disclosed today. Twenty-five persons were Killed during the last 15 months, the fig- Treasury disclosed. The total number of deaths in- cluded 134 civilians and 55 federal agents slain in the course of their du- ties. The official report gave figures for each year as follows: Agents Civilians 1920 8 5 to 1921 14 © 1922 13 i v923 ... 17 I 1924 22 } 2925, issn 20 1926 17 ; 1997... 16 i 1928 10 | The killings reported include only , those by Prohibition Bureau agents {and do not, with the exception of ‘the first three months of 1928 take in casualties in or at the hands of Coast Guard or customs officers. i Ten civilians and seven prohibition agents were killed during that year in addition to two customs inspec- tors by smugglers and five civilians | bY Coast Guard. | Among the 25 killed in the last 15 months were 16 civilians and nine i government agents. Raids and other ; enforcement operations by the pro- { hibition bureau accounted for the | death of 11 citizens and seven agents. Two mounted. inspectors of the { customs patrol were killed’ By smug- i glers, but no civilians met death at { the hands of agents of that bureau. { Coast Guard activities accounted | for the killing of five civilians. The | Coast Guard was the only enforce- | ment branch that had no losses with- ‘in its own ranks as the result of pro- hibition enforcement. . The report, prepared by Assistant Secretary Seymour Lowman, said that in all cases reaching the courts the government officers have been exonerated from criminal liability. + The two deaths included in the re- port for this year were the drown- ing of Leon Maingui, a negro sea- ‘man in the crew of the Canadian schooner I'm Alone, which was sunk by a Coast Guard patrol boat in the Gulf of Mexico recently, and that of Joseph A. McGuire of Larmie, Wyo., who was shot to death while resisting { arrest.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. ' ? : Daily Thought. i There blooms a rose for every rose, | And dewdrops joy in weeping; : For every heart there lives a heart Somewhere, that love is keeping. —The Bohemian. . The long and the short of the spring coat problem is just that— the long and the short of it ! Judging by the fashion parade down Park Ave. any of these fair days, the chic woman may have her coat anywhere from her hips to her heels and its all right, socially and sartorially speaking. Smart women like Mrs. Sherburn M. Becker, Jr., Betty Gerard, Hope Bennett and a number of others look exceedingly jaunty in the spring suit that cuts its coat smartly at the hip- line or even shorter. nevieve Clendenin has chic oxford cloth suit with ry coat and an unusual skirt with round- ing section of pleats across the front She wore a red felt hat and carried a red purse oen day, an exceedingly happy combination for early spring. Many flowers bloom along the ave- nue now. I do not mean just the love- ly window boxes of geraniums, daffs crocuses and so on. Katherine Tod wears her orchids or gardenias every day Ihave seen her recently—just one or two which are charming against her fox fur or the soft kasha of one of her new suits. | | Floral patterns in fabrics are re- | ceiving the praise of being chosen by : smart social registrites this spring. Cornelia Grant has a lovely little rose print blouse with a black suit. Mrs. Lewis Latham Clarke wore a very springlike foulard patterned in green. beige and black flowers and made with the most feminine ruffles here and ruffles there. The vogue for the fitted fashions grow apace. I noticed Mrs. Irving Berlin wearing a heavy off-white sat- in at the Embassy Club last week that was intricately cut and fitted to her slim figure. The beautiful sim- plicity was a perfect setting for the former Elin Mackay's lovely charm. Emma Cudahy is another who wears fitted things perfectly. At Pierre's the other day she wore a gorgeous black velvet ensemble with princess lines to the coat and a sweet- off-white chiffon blouse. The coat was collared in lynx and she wore atop her costume a metal hroraded turban that added a regal note. It is noticeable that as costumes grow more intricate and dressy, gloves run in the other direction. The authentic glove, the one every nine out of ten is wearing, is the pull-on of delicate hue, with neither button nor decoration save stitching. Mrs. Rob- ert M. Byrne, the former Marion Gould is one who wears fawn or oth- er delicate shades with all her street things and thereby puts the finishing touch on her chic costume. Incidental- ly, she has a sweet new little suit of the “dressmaker” type, of pae grey kasha with rounding neckline and one of those open-worked very fine sweat- -er-blouses that tuck into the skirt. : Navy blue and red outfit are hav- ing a vogue. There's a dash of red in every Park Ave. luncheon lately. Mrs. James B. Clews has a hand- blocked blouse with a black unfinish- ed worsted suit that used scarlet for its up and down lines. She emphasi- zes this by a scarlet buttoniere. Satin bloues gleam royally under many of the new little suits now. Mrs. Sherburn M. Becker, Jr., has a rose beige satin one with an unusual rounding collar with the backline. standing high like a Chinese coat. Katherine T. Lapsley has a sweet bluish grey suit that is a charming note with the darker background. .. To many housewives rhubarb early in the spring merely means some fresh “pie timber’ at a time when her supply is limited. However, rhubarb is of more value than just pie filling. Some people object to rhubarb on account of its great acidity. Its leaves do contain some oxalic acid which is a highly poisonous material. They should not be used in any way. The stems contain much less acid i than the leaves and after cooking the | acid content is nil. The greatest virtue of rhubarb lies in its tonic effect. It comes to us at a time of jaded appetites and its: tart- ness stimulates the desire for other foods. Found in it some phosphor- ous, that constituent necessary for strong teeth and sound bones, and vitamine C. : Stewed rhubarb is desirable for breakfast in place of orange juice. Care should betaken not to over- cook it, for vitamine C disappears if subjected to too great heat for too long a length of time. Vitamine C is the same one found in orange juice and tomato juice and uncooked cabbage and lettuce and the other green and yellow vegetables. When rhubarb is combined with other materials greater food value is obtained since these can be chosen to make up its lack. For instances many cooks add raisins to stewed or baked rhubarb. This adds iron to the dish and increases its efficiency. The person on a reducing diet will find rhubarb to her liking if too much sugar is not used for sweeten- ing. She will, of course, not choose 'any rhubarb dish indiscriminately, . but select a rhubarb jelly, whip, ice or plain stewed rhubarb. RHUBARB BETTY. Two cups cut rhubarb, 2 cup rai- sins, 4 tablespoons butter, 12 cup su- gar, 3 cup bread crumbs. Put half the crumbs into a well buttered baking dish. Add rhubarb and raisins. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with bits of butter. Cover with re- maining crumbs and dot with butter. Cover baking dish and bake 20 min- utes in a moderate oven. Remove cover to brown top. Serve warm from baking dish. 3 of Centre County do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct account of the receipts and expenditures of their respective accounts for the year 1928. 0.

HENRY FORD, who is a great manufacturer, but who has some peculiar ideas about economics, says, that young peo- ple ought to spend their money, and not save it. This advice is not needed, for young people usually are good spenders. They want to have what they call a good time. Yet there is an element of truth in what Mr. Ford says. A stingy young person is not a pleasing object, and one who saves ev- ery penny he gets, is in a fair way of giving an undue value to money. On the other hand, money is one of the most cheerful posses- sions in the world. It gives one a sense of security, of power, that nothing else imparts. Money is saved only by the exercise of pru- dence and self-denial—qualities that will count largely for future success. This sounds like a quotation from Poor Richard’s Almanac, a little book that those who are of Franklin's opinion, as to what constitutes success in life, may do well to read. We think young people ought to save part of what they get, and spend part. They will be pretty old before they cease wanting to have a good time. And the man who does not save, is doomed to failure.
