MAIL PILOT SAVES LIFE
BY PARACHUTE JUMP.
When the motor on his big air-
‘mail ship sputtered and went dead,
at an early hour last Saturday
morning, as he was flying between
DuBois and Clearfield, pilot Henry
J. Brown calmly climbed out of
the cockpit, balanced himself on
(the wing of the plane for a minute
"then stepped off into darkness. He
pulled the string of his parachute,
the life preserver opened and Brown
| glided to earth, landing without a
scratch.
| Hardly had he abandoned the
i plane, however, when the motor be-
gan to function and the ship flew
unguided over half a mile before it
took a header and fell to the
ground. The wreck burst into
flames and although pilot Brown
| got to it as quickly as possible he
was able to save only twelve
pounches of his cargo of mail.
considerable of the mail he carried
was registered and valuable it is
quite likely the loss is considerable.
Brown left Cleveland, Ohio, at
1:25 a. m. for, New York and pass-
ed over DuBois about 2:30 o'clock.
After passing DuBois the pilot no-
ticed that the gas tank inone wing
1 was almost empty and he attempt-
|
|
ed to transfer a portion of the
load from the other wing to the
empty container. But the gas line
was clogged and it was only a
question of a few minutes until the
motor began to sputter. The plane
went into a dive and to save his
life Brown jumped. He was the
first man at his plane after it
crashed and worked valiantly to
save as much of the mail as pos-
sible. He later walked to a farm
house and telephoned an account of
his experience to Cleveland. Later
in the day a postal inspector was
sent from Altoona to the scene of
the wreck to determine as far as
possible the extent of the loss in
mail matter.
DR. BEACH WILLS BOOKS
The will of the late Dr. Robert
Mills Beach was filed for probate
during the week. Included in his
possessions was a large and extreme-
ly valuable library, the result of
a life’s work in collecting books. In
his will he directs that his widow
shall have first choice of any and
all books she may care to keep.
After she has made her selection
a certain number of volumes are
bequeathed to Bryn Mawr College.
The bulk of his library is then left
in trust to the burgess and borough
council of Bellefonte for the estab-
lishment of a public library. In the
event, however, that no library be
established at the expiration of ten
years then the books shall go to
the public library of Springfield,
Mass.
Dr. Beach left no real estate but
personal property specified at $12 -
800. This is left in trust to the
First National bank of Bellefonte
for care and investment, the income
from which is to be paid monthly
to his widow up to a specified
sum, and any balance, if there
should be any, to be divided between
a "niece and nephew.

“VAGABOND KING” COMING
TO RICHELIEU NEXT WEEK.
When a stage production is ren-
dered upon the audible screenit is
natural to draw a comparison. But
day and continues Tuesday and
Wednesday, a comparison is a paltry
means of expressing the glamorous
wonderment of this marvelous screen
version.

Here is a picture so bewilderingly
wonderful, what with its gorgeous
powerful plot, stupendous sets,
breath-taking action, romantic glam-
our and musical richness, both in
the singing and orchestral depart-
ments, that the poor critic, abetted
merely by the meagreness of the
printed word, cannot even begin to
tell you how “swell” it all is. All
he can tell you is, go see it—three
or four times.

UNLICENSED DOG OWNERS
ARRESTED AND FINED.
Dog owners in Spring township
learned to their sorrow, last week,
that it does not pay to keep a dog
about the place unless he or she is
wearing a license tag. Just how
many of them learned the lesson
we have been unable to determine.
Reports on the exact number vary.
Some put it as high as two hun-
i
dred while others state it was less:
than two dozen. Be the number
what it may, however, it cost some
of them $10.25 in fine and costs in
addition to paying for a license.
Up to the beginning of last week
over a thousand less dog licenses
had been issued in Centre county
this year than were put out in 1929.
Whether it was this decided dispari-
ty in numbers or for some other
reason has not been definitely made : nor, is a member and student of music | Py the State Federation of
public, but early last week a rep-
resentative of the animal bureau in
the State Department of Agricul-
ture made his appearance in Spring
township and proceeded to round
up the owners of unlicensed dogs,
They were all notified to appear be-
fore a justice of the peace for a
hearing.
Squire J. L. Tressel had fifteen
cases and the fine and costs in each ,
case were $10.25. The ’Squire also
learned neither of the
justices got any of them.
It is also reported that the round-
up is to continue throughout the
county. The Spring township ar-
rests created a sudden demand for
dog licenses at the county treasur-
er’s office, and to avoid arrest all
owners of unlicensed dogs had bet-
ter get a license at once or dispose
of the dog.
