Demorvaic atc Bellefonte, Pa., October 25, 1929. HAG-RIDDEN HALLOW-EEN. Except in special cases, novelty is ess an object with the entertainer \t Hallow-een than for other holi- lays throughout the year. The old observances, incantations md spells with which our fore- athers strove to lift the veil of the uture on this date are too good to ye set aside for others of more re- ent date. What we want is the 1d one aplenty, duly performed in 11 their old time mirth and horoughness. As for the decorations, whether he scene be a country barn or . city flat, the natural treasures of \uumn leaves, pumpkins, grain and -arious fruits are so exactly what 3 required for the occasion that ovelty dealers can but imitate hem in their wares for this occa- ion. Where the company will come rom a distance, a more or less sub- tantial supper, with a hot course r two, will frequently be necessary, ut in general all the time-honored efreshments of nuts, apples, hot- akes, cider, pop corn scones and ountry dainties are both timely and atisfying. : For the sake of the hostess who is lanning an old-fashioned eighteenth entury Hallow-een party this ear, some of the best incantations nd charms are here described. very one knows the greater por- ion of them and has played them t some time or other, but perhaps ot all will occur readily to mind nd this list will jog the entertain- r’'s memory. A “luggie” is a dish or saucer nd this charm is a very ancient ne, of Scotch origin. Three of these re placed in a row at the hearth, ne being filled with clear water, ne with muddy water and one left ry. Bach player who desires to now his fate is blindfolded and led 5 the luggies. Before he essays je test the position of the dishes wus be changed. He is then told » dip one into one of the three. If ¢ dips into the one filled with clear ater a happy marriage is foretold. : into the muddy one it will be un- appy. If, however, the clean plate , unwittingly decided upon, the fate zeker will never marry. The hostess should be sure to ave on hand a supply of apples as 1ese will be wanted in many di ons. For one thing, all the young Jlks will want to peel an apple piece, keeping the paring in an un- roken strip and then casting it ver the left shoulder. The initial it rms upon the ground in falling is 1e first in the name of the future fe-mate. Perhaps, too, some of the girls ill be sufficiently anxious to ob- iin a glance of the “coming man’ y try this ancient charm, which is puted very powerful. That is, to alk down the cellar stairs back- ard with a lighted candle in one and and a miror in the other, iting (say some authorities) a tea- opful of salt meanwhile. The de- red face, it is claimed, will appear _ the looking glass as she descends. Another test, too, requires salt. his is a charm principally used by ie girls, each of whom fills her outh with water and her right und with salt. When the signal is ven all run in a body around the ock. The first name that each 71 hears after the start will be wat of her future husband. Iz, ywever, the water is swallowed or lowed to escape from her mouth ie charm is broken and if the salt , Jost from the right hand the re- iit is the same. There are many divinations with its, hazel nuts particularly being sry powerful though chestnuts or ckories may be substituted when cessary. For one of these a girl places two its one for herself and one for her ver in hot ashes side by side. If ey burn quietly together the mar- age and the courtship before it ill be happy and peaceable. But if ey explode or fly apart the augu- » is just the opposite. Also arranged with nuts is a arm to determine which‘of a girl's vers will prove to be “Mr. Right.” ie maiden names a nut for each three admirers and arranges em as before in the ashes. Or a iend, man or girl of the company ust take a slice. The ring as ual fortells approaching marriage, imble, bachelorhood or old maid- vod, a dime wealth. The key is terpreted as opening many hearts it may spell many love affairs ithout marital results and the neel stands for travel. Whether by ater or land or both. For the girls there is a pretty irror charm to be tested in some rk and ghostly spot. Say the dark d of a long, country house corri- r. Stand facing the mirror and t an apple. Some traditions say at the hair must be combed at e same time. The face of the re lifemate will appear in the ass during these operations. Outdoor charms are specially eerie d fun provoking. One of these is e famous hemp seed divination sich is performed in this way: eal out unperceived and sow a ndful of hempseed on the ground, rrowing it with anything you n conveniently draw after you, y a bough of a tree. At the me time repeat this formula. Hempseed I sow, hempseed I row. So let him who is my true se? Come after me and mow.” wok over your left shoulder as you ish these magical words and a | mblance of the future mate will | pear to you. In the eighteenth century among ' e first ceremonies of a country sek, which is just as amusing for modern celebration today. A ung man and girl go out together nd in hand to the cabbage patch d there with eyes closed the ick the first kale stock whic mes to hand. According to the :e, shape and general appearance the stock pulled by each one will s lifemate be. Thus if the stock small the future husband and fe will be of short stature, if ft be long the helpmate will be tall. If shapely, the coming man or woman may name and arrange them for er. The nut which cracks or bursts foretells a lover who will tire of her and prove faithless. The one which blazes up and out too quick- ly bespeaks a high regard for the fate seeker, but not a lasting af- fection, while a nut burning steadily represents constant love and the true life-mate. Let the engaged girls try this test with ashes and men to deter- mine the character of the life mate chosen. Have a saucerful of sifted ashes. Close your eyes. Blow hard upon the saucer. If the ash flies back into your band will be a tyrant. Or, as the case may be, the future wife will be another Xantippe. If the party be a truly old-fash- ioned one, of course, the girls will make a dumb cake, for this cere- mony is exceedingly old and potent for the purposes of Hallowe'en. Seven maidens must unite in mak- ing the cake, and during its concoc- tion not a single word must be spoken. All those except the cake- makers are banished from the room. Flour and water mixed stiff are the sole ingredients of the cake. They are stirred together and placed in a pan. Let every girl in the party now prick her initial on the top of the cake with a new pin and beside her own those of the man of her choice. This done, the cake is put in the oven, all those who made it still observing perfect silence. When it is baked and withdrawn, the cake is searched for initials and those of any pair which are found to remain will be happily married, probably before the year is out. —————— A —————— KANSAS’ STARTLING FIGURES. Startled by the population figures, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce is making a survey of the State to diagnose the cause of the population slump. When this has been com- pleted they hope to launch a cam- paign to appeal to new industries and new residents. The editorial writers of Kansas newspapers hold varying views on the cause for the lack of growth. Several believe Kansas has become nationally knowd as a State with a reputation for trying to regulate the personal private actions of its citizens. The 1929 population of Kansas was announced as 1,852,246 as compared to 1,842,595 in 1928. —Subscribe for the Watchman. face the future hus- MAIL PLANES WILL CARRY MAIL AGENTS. When the government desires to | all first class mail by air, es- pecially designed planes will be {available for such service. A fully | equipped airplane on display in a | local plant will carry three tons of ' mail, or a quarter million letters, rat 135 miles an hour. | Eighteen passenger transports i built for use on the transcontinental air route this summer are so con- | structed that they can be quickly transformed into mail planes. Sort- ing tables and sacks can be placed around the cabin for the distribu- tion of mail en route, as is done on mail trains. These cabins are 19% feet long, more than six feet high and five and one-half feet wide. These newer p'anes have a wing span of 80 feet and a length over all of 55 feet. Letter clerks will have their meals aboard the planes in well-equipped buffets electrically heated. Each plane is provided with a fully equipped lavatory with hot and cold water. Large, unobstruct- ed windows of non-shatterable glass give excellent vision. Instruments mounted over the sorting table would tell the clerks how fast they are flying and how much time they have to distribute the mail destined for various cities en route BRITISH EMBASSY. Distinctively British (even to a type of plumbing obsolete in this country it is said) is the new Brit- ish Embassy now building on Mas- sachusetts Ave., near the Naval Ob- servatory, Washington, says The Pathfinder.” The Embassy, which is really a group of buildings hous- ing Britain's small army of diplo- matic and commercial representa- tives at Washington, will replace the old British Embassy on lower Connecticut Ave. At one time the latter street was the center of aris- tocratic residences. Today it is a business street. The new British Embassy consists of a U shaped group of buildings. The wing will house the chancery and other departments. The main building will be the residence of the Ambassador. The group is in Queen Anne style, with high pitched Dutch roofs and chimneys. It is of brick construction, with columns and trimming in Indiana limestone. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, British government architect. When completed it will represent an ex- penditure of nearly $750,000. —Subscribe for the Watchman. 71-16-tt LUMBER? Oh, Yes! Call Bellefonte 43. W.R. Shope Lumber Co.

R. Buller, commissioner of fisheries, asserted. A majority of the enforcement of- ficers of the commission have been concentrated on the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers in readiness for a drive against operation of fish bas- kets. Even the recent slight rise in the two rivers was sufficient to start sev- eral of he fishermen at the century old practice, Buller said. Several ar- rests were made. 'In each instance where arrests are made for operation of fish baskets game fish have been found in pos- session of the violators. The hope of making an easy catch of game fish rather than eels is the motive back | ler believes. | In a recent survey of the Susque- hanna between Wilkes-Barre and | Columbia the protection officers found more than 100 such traps. The | walls had been repaired ready for {the fall movement of fish and | many instances the baskets at the | apex of the walls already were in place. The Fish Commissioner after ex- | tensive investigation of the so called | “eel baskets” became convinced that | in most cases they were merely traps | for fish of any kind. The commission | then backed legislation which made | their operation illegal. . Buller today pointed out that each | fall a large number of men begin to | repair the walls and set baskets in | readiness for the big catches. . Officers traveling along the streams have found it easy to locate the illeg- al walls and to wait the arrival of the men who operate the baskets. a——————— A ——————— —The Watchman gives all the news worth reading all the time.
