ONE MORE AUTO FATALITY
ON CENTRE CO. HIGHWAYS.
The dangerous double curve in the
State highway just east of Pine
Grove Mills was the scene of an-
other automobile accident shortly
after nine o'clock last Friday eve-
ning, which resulted in the death of
a young woman of Butler, Pa. The
victim was Miss Esther Florence
Stewart, 29 years old, instructor in
music in the public schools at
Sewickley, Pa. \
Miss Stewart, with her sister,
Miss Dorothy Stewart, and Miss
Tone Potter, also a Sewickley school
teacher, were guests at a house
party, at State College, for the
week-end. On Friday evening the
three young women, accompanied by
Miss Helen Armstrong, of Clinton-
dale, went for an auto ride. Miss
Dorothy Stewart drove the car and
her sister and Miss Potter were in
the rumble seat. So far as could be
learned Miss Stewart had never
driven over that stretch of highway
and had no knowledge of the dan-
.gerous curves near Pine Grove Mills.
Highway patrolmen who investigated
the accident aver that she was
driving at a fairly high speed when
she struck the curve and in her en-
deavor to make the turn the car
was ditched and turned over.
Both young women in the rumble
seat were thrown out, Miss Esther
Stewart sustaining a fractured skull
and severe chest injuries. Miss Pot-
ter sustained a slight concussion of
the brain while the other two es-
caped with minor injuries. Miss
Stewart was brought to the Centre
County hospital where she died at
12:40 o'clock Saturday morning
without regaining consciousness.
Miss Potter was taken to the hospi-
tal at State College but was able
to leave there early in the week.
Coroner W. R. Heaton, of Philips-
purg, was notified of the accident
but after an investigation decided
that an official inquest was not
necessary. An undertaker from
Butler came to Bellefonte, on Sat-
urday, for the body of Miss Stewart,
which had been prepared for burial
at the Widdowson funeral parlors.

STOLEN WRIST WATCH
RETURNED BY THIEF.
Last Thursday morning Mrs,
Charles Brachbill found a small
package in her mail box. It was
done up in plain brown paper and
contained no address or writing of
any kind. Naturally Mrs. Brachbill
opened the package and was sur-
prised to find init her wrist watch,
stolen some six weeks ago when
robbers carried away all her silk
underwear. There was no writing of
any kind on the package to tell
from whom it came.
The watch was wound and has
been keeping good time, the only
thing wrong with it being a slight
pend in the minute hand. It is
quite likely that the person who
stole the watch realized it would be
dangerous to attempt to sell or pawn
it, and did not want to be caught
with the watch in his or her pos-
session, so returned it some time
Wednesday night.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
CIVIC IMPORTANCE.
To our readers who are interest-
ed in the civic welfare of Bellefonte
we take great pleasure in announc-
ing that the community mausoleum
to be erected in the Bellefonte
Union cemetery will be completed
and dedicated during the coming
year.
After a careful analysis of present
conditions, the management of the
Bellefonte Mausoleum company have
decided they are not as bad as the
pessimist would paint them.
The table and rate of mortality
has not changed, death still demand-
ing its regular toll, and in order
to provide an opportunity for those
who may prefer this beautiful way
of caring for their loved ones the
‘company will continue a vigorous
campaign for subscribers to
in this memorial.
To summarize the situation, con-
struction will be started in early
Spring of 1931, and completed by
early Fall of the same year.
The site is the highest point
the cemetery.
When completed, this memorial
will not only beautify the cemetery,
but stand out as one of Bellefonte’s
most prominent civic achievements.

CAMPAIGN ON HERE TO
EXTERMINATE RATS.
Two young women have starteda
campaign to kill the rats in Belle-
fonte, so if you have rats in your
place of business, rats in your. home
or “rats in your belfry” give the
women a chance to eradicate them.
The women are Miss Madge Case,
of Seattle, Wash, and Miss Anna
Mae Wright, of Portsmouth, Va.
For almost nine years they have
been engaged in a campaign of rat
extermination and have covered
forty-two States and the Hawaiian
Islands.
Rats are classed as among the
most destructive vermin to prey
upon the fruits of man’s work. It
is estimated that their numbers are
from three to five times that of the
human family and figures are given
to show that each rat does $1.82
worth of damage a year. Rats
multiply very rapidly and the only
way to get rid of them is to kill
them.
The young women who will con-
duct the campaign in Bellefonte use
a drug formula recommended by the
United States public health service
and which can be purchased and com-
pounded in any drug store. Their
proposition is worth a hearing when
they visit your place of business.
WILLIAM MAGEE POSSIBLE
VICTIM OF CITY THUGS.

ARMISTICE DAY HERE
FITTINGLY CELEBRATED.
Armistice day, commemorating that
eventful epoch in the world’s his-
tory of twelve years ago when the
greatest war of all time came to an
end, was fittingly celebrated in
Bellefonte by Brooks Doll post of
the American Legion. The cus-
tomary services were held in the
Diamond at the zero hour, 11 o'clock,
with W. Harrison Walker Esq., the
speaker.
In the afternoon the drum and
bugle corps headed the march of
the High school students to Hughes
field for the football game between
Bellefonte and State College High
school. The game was hard fought
and although Bellefonte lost 12 to 0,
the boys are to be commended for
the plucky fight they put up. State
was a much heavier team and they
came to Bellefonte confident of run-
ning up a big score but the best
they could do was two tallies,
On Tuesday evening the Legion
post ended the day with their an-
naual banquet at the Penn Belle
hotel.
