INK SLINGS,

—In 1900 the total cost of our
national defense was $163,392,646.
In 1929 it had risen to $678,413,-
795. That's some jump for a coun-
try that emblazons its coins with
“In God We Trust.”

man-Heink are two of che great’
operatic stars of —yesteryear; two
of the army of foolish greats who
are not content to rest on their
laurels.
in thinking they can still sing.
—In Buffalo, several weeks ago, a
noted scientist told a meeting of
medical men that “alcohol is a nat.
ural eiement in the human brain.”
That being the case why squander
money on boot-leggers? Cultivate
the brain and be your own boot-leg-
ger.
—The poor tax levied in Bellefonte
would provide five dollars a week for
only twenty-three families. Inas-
much as maintenance of the borough
home consumes more than half of
the total assessment the amount
available for temporary relief to in-
dividuals is really very small.
—The Donaldson-Allen tragedy in
Philadelphia last week leaves a trail
of broken hearts and wrecked lives.
It is just another case of a young
girl who loved not wisely, but too
well. Her brother is in prison
charged with the murder of her be-
trayer and while the law will re-
gard his crime as the greatest in
the sad affair we are wondering if
it is blacker than that of the Don-
aldson boy who betrayed a woman
and then told another man that he
had done it.
—If it should become the prerog-
ative of the Democrats to organize
the next House of Congress John F.
Garner, of Texas, will undoubtedly
‘be made Speaker. In that event
his wife will automatically take an
official social precedence she has not
been entitled to heretofore. It is
gratifying to know that Mrs. Gar-

BOOB GAINS SIX VOTES,

er.
The recount of the ballots cast at
the election in Millheim, on Novem-
‘ber 3rd, proved a boomerang to the
Republican candidate for Sheriff,
Harry V. Keeler, of Bellefonte, and
his party backers, who, last week,
instituted proceedings for a recount
on the allegation that they had rea-.
son to believe that a “fraud or er-
ror” had been committed. While
no evidence of fraud was found the
showed an error of six
votes, but they were in favor of
Mr. Boob and against Keeler. All
of the votes were found in what
had evidently been counted as
straight Republican ballots. The
voters had marked an X in the Re-
publican party column and then put
‘an X after Boob's name in .the
Democratic column, and in comput-
ing the returns on election night
the board had evidently overlooked
the latter X.
When the ballot box was brought
|into court, last Friday afternoon, it
was examined very carefully as
rumors were abroad that it bore
|evidence of having been tampered
with. The board on the back of
the box on which the hinges were
fastened was somewhat loose and
| contained new nails at both ends.
| It developed, however, that it was
only the natural result of long us-
age.
The box was opened by Sheriff
Dunlap in the presence of the court

IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
SATURDAY EVENING.
{
urday evening, when the car he was
| driving crashed almost head-on into
‘an Edwards Motor Co. bus at Deep
Vue, on the mountain road from
Sandy Ridge to Bald Eagle. The
bus was in charge of Rufus Neeper,
of Curwensville. Coble was driv-
ing a model T. Ford coupe.
The bus was on it's eastern trip
and was coming down the moun-
tain while Coble was on his way to-
ward Sandy Ridge, and was evi-
a gun and hunting clothes were
(found in the wrecked car after the
accident.
According to the driver of the
bus and other witnesses the lights
on the Ford were poor and Coble
was on the wrong side of the road.
To avoid hitting him the bus driv-
er swung to the left and as he did
s0 Coble also swung over to the
right with the result that the two
machines crashed. Coble was thrown
through the window of his car and
landed on the hard-surface road.
His skull was crushed his back and
left leg broken. The impact broke
the left front wheel of the bus and
forced it from the road over a small
‘embankment. The wrecked Ford
followed and came to rest along-
side the bus. One passenger in the
bus was slightly injured. A State
highway patrolman, of Philipsburg,
and Dr. W. R. Heaton, county cor-
oner, investigated the accident and
promptly exonerated the bus driver

ARRIVED IN BELLEFONTE.
The consignment of Christmas
seals for Bellefonte has arrived and
the committee will have them ready
for the mail November 27th, when
the sale will begin. The menace of
tuberculosis is being increased by
the depression and it would be a
tragedy if the great fight against
| three other men, was picked up at
| Spring Mills by highway patrolman
!S. C. Dale. The young man driv-
ing the car presented the license
card of Mr. Lytle but finally admit-
{ted he was not the man. At the
| hearing the three men who were in
the car with Lytle testified that he
| was not the operator of the car at
| the time of arrest.
| Last January C. H. Bubb, F. B.
| Weaver and F. A. Howe were ar-
| rested for a violation of the liquid
fuel act by John D. Whitecar. They
'gave bond for their appearance in

|cases had been continued. The
men were notified to appear in
| court, last Saturday, and failing to
do so, their bail-bonds were for-
feited and bench warrants issued for
their arrest.

tion of the case.
