Uentre Uounty’s Share of the Froposed
Road Apropriations,
Centre county's proportionnate
share of the proposed road appropria-
tion will be $37,410,090 for state-aid
roads and $273,839.62 for Btate High-|*“
ways. The local authorities must add
$37,410.09 to the Btate-ald appropria-
tion to make it available. With this
addition, the total amounts applicable
to Centre county roads, under the
terms of the bill now pending would
be $348,659,70. This allotment has
been carefully worked out by Btate
Highway Commissioner Black and
Chief Engineer Uhler.
Any cut made in the proposed ap-
propriation would mean a correspond-
ing reduction in the amount avaliable
in Centre county. Bhould the items
carried in the bill be reduced one-half,
Centre county would get but $174,320.-
85 for its roads in the next two years.

preity eick. I suppose we will not be
expected to do much work tomorrow.
I'hey told us not to take any exercise
for 24 hours and now almost all the
boys ore sitting on thelr cots writing
letters to loved ones at home. It oer.
tainly is 8 wonderful sight to see so
many in uniforms,
Some of the boys are very sick now
eick myself, My arm is getting very
sore and I will have to quit writing.
When I awoke this morning I eat
up and and looked around to see if I
knew any one, and was surprised to
see Mr. Erdman, from F. & M. His
cot was right at the foot of mine. To-
day when the several companies pass-
ed ours I saw several F. & M, boye.
I am afraid I will not have time to
write you as oftez as I would like.
Our work starts at 5:30 in the morning
and no let up until 10 at night.
This is a great place. It Is on the
ban ks of the Nisgara river and back
of our barracks Is Lake Ontario.
Across the river from our barracks is
the Canadian Fort. They have twen-
ty thousand soldiers within s half
mile of this fort. Just now there are
2000 men in front of our barracks and
the band ls giviog a concert. I am
too sick to go out and hear it. I am
unable to raise my left arm, so you see
how quickly it has effected me, but
hope to be feeling better in a day or
two.
«+ It is much colder up here than in
Pennsylvania, There are no leaves
out yet,
After today we will hardly have a
minute to ourselves.
Give my regards to all the friends,
and write often.
Your Boy,
NED.

REVEL IN COSTLY JEWELRY
perity That Has Come to the
Great Metropolis.
While her sisters in London, Paris
their jewels, giving the gold to the
common treasury and selling the gems
to swell relief funds and keep the wolf
from the door, the New York lady is
daily acquiring an increased penchant
for the finest jewelry that the world
produces. Prosperity is once more
smiling on New York, particularly in
the financial district, and consequent
ly the great jewelry houses are bene
fiting thereby, says the Wall Street
Journal. Any of the leading Fifth
avenue diamond merchants will tell
one that hundreds of prominent Wall
street folk visit their showrooms
weekly to buy of the best, and the
best {8 never too good for them to
tender te their womenfolk.
Many European workers in gold and
silver, whose art is famous in Europe,
and who could not have been bribed
to work in this country a couple of
years ago, have come to these shores
seeking work which cannot be found
in Europe.
The great De Beers syndicate in
London has prevented an influx of
gems on the market by purchasing
privately the collections of jewelry
offered by prominent women in the
European centers, and this has un
doubtedly held up the price for dia
monds. Many great American jewel
ers sent over representatives to Eu
rope soon after the war broke out in
the hope that they could pick up quan-
tities of gems cheaply, but they came
back empty handed owing to the ac
tivities of the De Beers syndicate.
Jewelers expect the demand for
their wares to increase as the coun-
try grows in prosperity, and a busi
ness that was at the lowest possible
ebb a little over a year ago now has
glided possiblities,

Electric Steel Production,
Electric steel appears to bo making
much progress in Germany. A report
for 1914 shows the total production
of crucible and electric steel to have
been 184,400 tons and the electric
product was nearly 90,000 tons—only
8,500 less than the output of crucible
steel, And more electric furnaces
were expected. Of the 20 plans pro
ducing electric steel eight were mak-
ing high grade material to supplant
crucible steel and 12 employed the
electric furnace to melt ferro-manga-
nese. The induction furnace was
most used of the various types,
