OVER THE SEVEN MTS.
IN AN AIRPLANE.
State College Student Describes Aer-
ial Flight Over Penns Valley, to
Harrisburg.
A recent issue of the Harrisburg Tele-
graph contained the following story in
regard to flights made to and from State
College by State students :
Paul Roeder, of 1607 Green street, a
student at State College, made his par
ents an unexpected call on Monday,
having covered the distancé from the
college to Harrisburg in airplane with
Chester Shaffer, a Marysville pilot,
The distance is ninety-five miles and
was covered in fifty five minutes. :
The aviator flew to State College with
Joe Lightner, of Marysville, one of
Penn State's football heroes, and natur-
ally attracted a great amount of atten-
tion at the big institution, He invited
Roeder to accompany him home and the
Harrisburg boy lost no time in accept-
ing. Roeder is a sophomore and a pre-
medical student at State. He secured
the consent of the college authorities
and after taking on twenty gallons of
gasoline the two tourists were off amid
the burst of cheers from the student
body interested in the flight.
He said to the Telegraph after the
flight that Be never had so many thrills
in his life before, adding
**The vsual northwest wind was blow-
ing and the plane was faced directly to.
ward it to facilitate getting into the air.
We scurried along the ground about
200 yards when suddecly I was con-
scious of a sensation very much what |
imagine walking on the ocean would be
When we bad
attained ap altitude of about 1.000 feet
Shaffer turned the plane in a southeast-
ern direction and we were soon flying
over the housetops of State College and
coming into view of the picturesque
Penns Valley. Haviog crossed the val-
ley. we then saw something that recall
ed definition 1 once heard of a
mountain-—a field with its back up—only
in this particular case it had it up sev-
en limes | we were flying over the Sev-
en mountains,
“I shall pever forget the unfolding
of the next picture, which possessed a
beauty unsurpassed. The whole coun-
tryside stretched away before us like
an enormous patch-quilt. The fields of
winter wheat were green, the corastub.
ble brown, the lime-sprayed fields were
white and interspersed were great fields
of corn which were yellow.
These varicolored areas were 50 mixed
as to produce a wonderful effect.’ Spread
out over this array of color like a giant
spiderweb was a net work of highways
and byways. Where the roads were
ashphalt - they appeared black ;
where concrete they were white, where
dirt, yellow, and where shale, red.
This gave a picturesque coloring to the
whole scene, .
“Having flown over this great natural
painting we came [next in sight of
several mountain ranges and these be-
ing clothed in their autumnal foliage al-
so presented a wonderful sight. They
appeared more as if they had been
sprayed alternately with gold, yellow,
red. dark green, brown and orange
dyes.
“It was not long until we swept over
the channel of the Juniata river which
lay like a huge greenish-blue serpent
spread all over the valley. We followed
its course from Lewistown to Clark's
Ferry where the Susquehanna came into
view. From that point until the capital
dome was visible we had the Susque-
hanoa under us most of the time,
“In view of the fact that we maintain-
ed an approximate altitude of 4 ooo feet,
we had a very large range of vision
most of the time. We coul! see about
five miles il very direction and the
beauty of the ride as a whole #urpassed
anything I had ever before experienced.
“Some of the most distinct impressions
I have of the trip are the tremendous
rush of air, the incessant roar of the mo-
tor and the monotonous hum of the taut
plane wires, The most thrilling sensa-
tion of all is when the plane starts to de-
scend ; the nearest comparison is when
one makes a sudden drop in an elevator,
At no time In the flight did I feel the
least bit dizzy, nervous or scared. To
anyone who is seeking genuine thrills 1
can recommend a flight in an airplane.”

Home Thrift.
Centre county today leads among the
forty-eight eastern counties in the state
in the sale of thrift war saving stamps,
and treasury certificates, which is very
gratifying. However it has desired to
still further push the sales of these se-
curities, the main effort being to incul-
cate a spirit of thrift in both old and
young. It is especially desired that
Centre county schools become a 100 per
cent school, and this means that every
pupil is saving something and is buying
th ift stamps. War saving stamps and
treasury certificates bear interest at four
per cent. compounded quarterly, mak-
ing these securities one of the safest and
best investment to be had at this time,
Teachers should correspond with W,
Harrison Walker, Esq , the chairman for
this district, if they are.not already sys-
