LAMB STREET CLOSING
DORMANT IN COUNCIL
The question of closing a section
of Lamb street, as requested by the
Bellefonte school board, continues to
lie dormant on the borough council
table, where it was consigned a
month or more ago for further con-
sideration, and there is no intimation
as to when the question will again
be called up for final disposition.
Eight members were present at
the regular meeting on Monday eve-
ning, the one absentee being Mr.
Kline, of the South ward. A Mr.
Shreffler was present to request a
permit to erect a house on a lot he
recently purchased from Ralph Has-
singer, on north Allegheny street,
and council granted the permit on
condition he build up to the street
grade, which he said was his inten-
tion.
Walter Reichert was once more
before council in regard to the open-
ing of Burnside street. This matter
has been in the hands of the Street
committee for several months and
was again referred back.
The Street committee reported re-
ceipt of $30.00 for a sewer permit
and a donation of $7.00 from Cohen
& Kalin towards a Bishop street
r. They also presented a request
light at Penn alley, between
rd and Lamb streets, on Ridge
Referred to the committee for
igation.
The Water committee reported a
total of $700 collected on water taxes
and $10 on rent.
The Finance committee reported a
balance of $181.29 in the water fund
and $754.96 in the borough fund. Re-
quest was made for the renewal of
notes totalling $13,900, and a new
note for $1200 in the water depart-
ment and one for $3500 in the borough
department, all of which was author-
ized.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that the Logan fire company
is in need of two smoke masks, and
their purchase was authorized.
The Sanitary committee presented
the monthly report of Dr. S. M. Niss-
ley, health officer and milk inspector.
The Special committee reported
progress in the mater of the new
building code.
H. G. Witter was present and stat-
ed to council that he has purchased
two lots at the corner of Curtin and
Wilson streets, where he expects to
build two houses, and asked for the
water extension and that the street
be put in condition. Referred to the
Water and Street committees.
President Walker appointed A. M.
Barr an auditor for the Pruner or-
phanage accounts, and the appoint-
ment was approved by council.
Mr. Cobb again brought up the
matter of selling a portion of the
Phoenix mill dam site as a location
for a milk receiving plant for the
Nittany valley local of the Dairy-
man’s League. The matter was dis-
cussed from every possible angle and
it was finally decided that council as
a body meet with a committee of the
farmers and endeavor to find some
other suitable location before decid-
ing definitely on the sale of the dam
site.
The Water committee reported
that borough engineer Shattuck is
now engaged in making a survey of
the Phoenix mill dam site to deter
mine just how much property the
borough owns there. A survey will
also be made of the Gamble mill
property.
President Walker stated that Mrs.
7. Valentine has in her possession

Water bills totalling $731.75 and
borough bills $1521.00 were approved
for payment, after which council ad-
journed.
OIL BURNING FURNACES
MAR THE FAMILY RADIO.
Thunder and lightning, static in
the atmosphere and the big radio
station out at the aviation field are
not the only interferences with the
successful operation of the family
radio receiving set in Bellefonte, ac-
cording to one owner. Oil burning
furnaces is another, and the greater
the number the more trouble will be
the result.
The man who made this declara-
tion lives diagonally across the
street from a family that has an
oil burner and he avers that every
time the tank is filled the oil run-
ning into the tanks puts the radio
completely out. And if there is
any of the oil spilled on the ground
the radio is affected until the oil has
been almost completely evaporated.
Personally we cannot vouch for the
authenticity of this statement but
the man who told the story aversit
is a fact,
And while we are on the subject
of radios we want to remark that
selecting a radio is a stiff proposi-
tion, judging from several families
living in close communion on a certain
street in Bellefonte. One of them
has had two on trial within the past
few weeks, another four and the
other one five, and up to this time
the dealers are all at sea as to which
one will eventually make a sale.

chicks early.

PENN STATE BALL TEAM
WILL PLAY 18 GAMES.
Penn State’s baseball schedule for
the coming season was announced,
on Monday, after it had been ap-
proved by the board of control of
athletics. The schedule provides for
eighteen games and the most pro-
nounced change from other years is
the cutting out of the customary
spring training trip through the
the South, owing to the lateness of
the Easter vacation, and substituting
in its place a three game series
with the University of Pennsylvania
team at Atlantic City. The sched-
ule in full is as follows:
April 12—St. Francis College at home.
April 18, 19 and 21—U. of P. at
Atlantic City. ?

SULLIVAN COUNTY MAN
DEEDED PROPERTY TO GOD.
One of the most unusual deeds
ever entered of record in Pennsyl-
vania was that for a tract of land
comprising approximately 600 acres
in Sullivan county deeded to Al-
mighty God on the 14th day of
June, 1864, by Peter E. Armstrong
and his wife, Hannah. Mr. Arm-
strong held the belief that man-
kind was intended by the Creator
to enjoy the blessings of the world,
but not to claim title to them,
The deed was drawn up by Mr.
Armstrong himself, the closing sen-
tence of which is: “We do grant,
deed and convey to the said Creator,
the God of Heaven and Earth, and
to His heirs in Jesus Messiah, for
their use forever.”
It is reported by some of the old-
er residents of that section that
shortly after the deed was recorded
by Mr. Armstrong, there was con-
siderable controversy as to who
would pay the taxes. Inasmuch as
the land was deeded to God, it was
Mr. Armstrong’s contention that if
the assessor wanted to secure taxes
it was a matter entirely between
the assessor and God. Apparently
a compromise could not be effected,
and the land was later sold for
taxes. About 15 years ago a son of
Peter Armstrong bought the land,
thinking that he would hold it with-
in the family, but the land wasun-
productive and did not support a
valuable growth of timber, and was
again sold for taxes. It is said of
Mr. Armstrong, although being a
every devout man, he had no train-
ing in the law and drew up the
deed without assistance or guidance,
yet the document as it
presents a remarkable condition of
accuracy and is filled with spiritual
expressions.
——During January all the em-
ployees of the American Lime &
Stone Co., operations in this section
put in a total of 49,914 hours.
They had a total of 55 days lost
time.
CHANCE OF DEATH IN PLANE
TRIP ABOUT 1 IN 4,000
The chance of death in an air-
plane trip operated by licensed pilots
over scheduled passenger routes is
about one in 4,000, it is disclosed by
the report of the committee on
aviation statistics of the Acturial
Society of America,
The committee consisting of J. E.
Hiskins, assisting actuary of the
Travelers Insurance Company, R. D.
Murphy, vice-president of the Equit-
able Life Insurance Society, and H.
R. Bassford, assistant actuary of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, found in investigating the
aviation hazard during last year
that 13 passengers were killed out
of about 50,000 who were carried
on schedule the last half of the
year. Among transport pilots, who
were licensed to carry persons and
property for hire and also to give
instruction, the annual death rate
was 32 for each thousand while
among limited commercial flyers,
whose carrying of paying passen-
gers is restricted to specified areas,
the mortality rate was 16 per thous-
and.
Among the various classifications
of pilots studied, it is disclosed that
the fatality rate during the year
was highest among those operating
planes over scheduled routes, where
it amounted to 45 for each thous-
and.
There were no deaths during the
year among industrial pilots, who
are licensed to carry property but
not persons for hire. The annua.
death rate among those licensed as
private pilots was at the rate of
eight for each thousand.
At first glance it may seem sur-
prising that the class of pilots
whose required qualifications are
the most stringent should have the
highest death rate and that private
pilots should have a more favor-
able experience than those engaged
in commercial operations. The re-
port indicates, however, that this is
probably due to differences in the
amount of time spent in flying
which outweighs the factors of
skill and experience.
The mortality of Army and Navy
aviators for last year was at a
lower rate than that which existed
among commercial pilots despite
the fact that the duties of the offi-
cers make necessary stunt flying
and formation flying. At the same
time, it is pointed out by the com-
mittee that the difference in the
mortality rate might be due to a
smaller average flying time per of-
ficer.
PLANES TO HELP
SCATTER FEED FOR GAME.
Airplanes will play an increasing-
ly important part in feeding wild
game and birds, according to pre-
dictions made by A. L. Budd,
chief of the bureau of protection of
the Game Commission.
Trial flights made during the
heavy snows of January = demon-
strated that one airplane can dis-
tribute more food where it is most
needed in one day than a dozen
game protectors tan put out in a
week, Budd asserted.
The chief objective of the game
feeding program which Budd directs
is to get the food to points where
it will prove of actual value to game
of all kinds. As the best game
country for many species is in sec-
tions impassable during heavy
snow to motor vehicles, adequate
distribution alwavs has been a stiff
problem. :
All game protectors are equipped
with snow shoes, but the amount
of feed they can carry through the
woods is very limited.
Budd also has urged getting the
food to the game as soon after a
snow fall as possible. It is in the
first few days after a snow fall that
game suffers most from hunger.
Airplanes are able to overcome
both: of these difficulties, Budd
pointed out.
During the coming summer Budd
intends to enlist the cooperation of
as many airports and filers as pus-
sible to be ready for service when
the occasion demands next winter.
Although keeping step with the
times Budd does not intend to
abandon the state-wide organization
of sportsmen, and boys and girls
who always have aided In game
feeding. Without the cooperation
they accorded to employees of the
commission much game would have
starved during the winter, Budd be-
lieves.
A WOODEN LEG SHIELDS
AN ARMY OF BEDBUGS.
A novel incubator for vermin was
revealed recently in the records of
the State Department of Welfare
when it was found that a certain
county institution under the juris-
diction of the Department had with-
stood every offensive made against
bedbugs and vermin of all kinds.
In accordance with the practice in
these institutions every possible
means of extermination was used
to rid the building of bedbugs yet
one bed continued to be infested
with the pests. The dormitory where
the bed was found had been com-
is recorded
pletely renovated, including
plastering, new paint and repairs, It
was not until the occupant of the
| ps4 was taking a bath one day, that
an attendant picked up the inmate's
wooden leg and shook it that the
hiding place of the persistent bed-
bugs was found. They had been
multiplying in the recesses of the
artificial limb.
