. HODGE—PODGE OF NEWSY INCIDENTS. She was just a little “pickaninny” ve or six years old. Her eyes al- 10st popped out of her little head nd the shine on her ebony face re- embled a newly polished shoe as he danced along the street early aturday morning. The cause of her appiness was explained when she 1et a man on his way to work and xclaimed: ‘Mister, I found some oney,” and opening the grimy, lit- e¢ hand she revealed a dime. Two Bellefonte boys are working 1 Philadelphia. One is through col ‘ge and has a job with a large orporation. The other has one ear yet at college and has been 'orking his vacation time to get ioney to complete his collége year, 1¢ elder brother adding his savings > the fund of the younger. Recent- r the older boy took an examina- on for a more lucrative position ith the company by which he is mployed and passed with flying Jlors. But instead of receiving otice of a promotion he was a vic- m of the company's recent re ‘enchment policy and set back a otch or two. And about two eeks ago the brothers woke up, ne morning, to find that the bank + which they had their combined nds had closed it's doors and the sunger brother's college money had one aglimmerin’. The way of the transgressor of 1e Volstead law is hard, but for )me it is a stony path wet down ith copious tears shed by the wife ad children. Capt. E. H. Lederer, legal burgess ! State College or not, has a most :markable record. So far during is term he has had an average of sout 45 cases a month brought be- re him and to date only one case as been returned to court. And om all the cases heard the bur. ese has not received one cent in wes. He has been able to effect a sttlement in practically all his ises and the sentence generally nposed is a regular attendance at ther church or Sunday school. Ten days ago local police officers scovered what they thought was a g cache of liquor in a privately wned garage building in a residen- al section of the town. One of wse garages built by the land own- - and car room rented to whoever ight apply. One of the rooms )ntained no car but was piled full ¢ sealed cartons, and the doors ere double-locked. It later de- sloped that the cartons contained omen's coats, silk dresses and silk ngerie which is believed to have sen carted away from stores here nd at State College which recently ent into bankruptcy. At any rate «deral court officers have literally sized the cache by placing new cks on the door. The grounds surrounding the ennsylvania railroad passenger sta- on, in Bellefonte, shows very plain- + the retrenchment policy of that ablic utility system. With a greatly duced force of trackmen the la- srers have not time to cut weeds nd the big crop of wild grass near se station has all the appearance of flag station out in “the Sticks.” The borough of State College ants to purchase and own in fee mple the water company which is ow supplying its residents with ater, and initial steps have been 1ken to get title to the company rough the right of eminent do- ain. While it is undoubtedly 2 ymmendable desire on the part of ie residents and taxpayers to own nd control the water company it oks like a stupendous financial un- artaking at this distance from the ollege. Five separate interests are ymbined in the ownership of the resent water company and their aluation of the plant is consider- bly over a quarter of a million dol- rs. It is also understood that in se event the borough is successful \ securing ownership of the com- any tentative plans have already sen made for improevments that ill cost almost half a million dol- urs, and that's a whale of a lot of ioney these times. Now that the primaries are over e want to remark that the bor- ugh fathers let slip a chance to urn some real money into the bor- igh treasury, something it is bad- , in need of. There isa borough or- inance prohibiting the posting of ills, posters or placards of any ind on trees and poles within the srough limits, and a fine is attach- 1 for any violation. Many of the rge cards of candidates were tack- 1 up around the town and every- ne got away with it, Scott free. ——————————— EN ————— MARRIAGE LICENSES. Theodore W. Rydeburg, of Grass at, and Helen G.

His address was filled with helpful suggestions for the amateur gardener and en- couragement toward a beginning of this comparatively new type of garden in America, although hun- dreds of years old in England. Pro- fessor Green concluded his address by inviting the Garden Club to visit ‘his garden at State College, and the invitation was gladly accepted be- cause of its great beauty in rock terraces and artistic gardening. MANY VALUABLE STAMPS BURNED EVERY YEAR. George T. Bush, Bellefonte's most active and enthusiastic philatelist, (stamp collector), was agreeably sur- prised, Tuesday morning, when he received notification that he had been elected treasurer of the So- ciety of Philatelic Americans, which has a membership of almost two thousand stamp coliectors. He re- garded the election as a decided honor, as the office has invariably gone to a man in one of the larger cities. Mr. Bush is of the opinion that collecting stamps is increasing in in- terest in this country as well as abroad, and that more than a mil- lion men and women, boys and girls are now engaged in making a col- lection. It is no longer a fad but a purely business proposition. Mr. Bush further asserts that within the past forty years old stamps and envelopes were destroyed within a thirty-five mile radius of Bellefonte which today would have a market value of well onto half a million dol- lars. He cites one instance of a once prominent family in town whose homestead sold at public sale for $8000, while several boxes of old letters and correspondence which had been stored in the attic for many yea.s, and which were burned as refuse, would today have yield- ed the heirs about $35,000. Therefore his advice is, don't de- stroy the contents of old trunks and boxes found in the attic without as- certaining if the contents are valu- able. Old letters, stamps, etc. prior to 1880 have a potential value, and the older they are the more valu- able. “RIGHT” RELIGION WOULD END SLUMP religious spirit would Chaplain Ray- The right lift the depression, mond C. Knox, of Columbia Univer- sity, declared in telling of the growth in summer-session religious activities. “None of the larger national prob- lems are insoluble,” Chaplain Knox said. “The co-operative spirit of ap- proach, coupled wn a clear-cut ideal and a definite motive power, can effect a solution. Religion is the motive power. With a genuine ideal of service and a new spirit of forgiveness, all peoples could work harmoniously together for a com- mon good. Of course, this would mean a willingness to forego some perzonal advantage or gain. While this may sound like idealism, there is nothing more practical than an ideal.” All the courses, wervices and con- ferences on religious topics at Co- lumbia are designed to bring religion into relationship witn the life and needs of men, women and the world today, Chaplain Knox declared. He asserted that there was a steady in- crease in the number of those inter- ested in religion. SLUMP, AUTOS BLAMED FOR MISSING PERSONS The automobile and the depression both have been held responsible for an increase in a division of police | work, this time for the increased number of missing persons in Penn- | sylvania. Reports to the state police for the first six months of 1931 showed that | 893 persons were missing from home. The 1930 total for the same period was 468.
