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

cense of which the Dog show will be

will mostly be in connection with the
prizes to be awarded. The executive

25 members.
The executive committee of the
Volunteer Firemen’s Association of
Central Pennsylvania met, last week,
in Barnesboro and appointed the com-
mittees that will have charge of the
great annual convention, which is to!
be held at Ebensburg, July 1 and 2
when the Dauntless Fire Company of
the county seat of Cambria County,
will be hosts to the conventions.

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. !

189 PEOPLE SLAIN
IN PROHIBITION RAIDS.
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:

| 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

MAPLE SUGAR SEASON
Due to the abnormal high tempera-
ture recently the maple sugar. season,
which started out favorably, came to
an abrupt halt this week and practi-
cally all local manufacturers of maple
products have packed away their sap
buckets and closed their camps.
The maple sugar season of 1929
'| will go down in history as one of the
shortest ever known in Potter county,
which has annually produced more

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.

R. 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.
