baugh, Bishop James H. Darlington,

Mrs. Chambrlain said:
"The exhibit has been very gratify
ing. A great deal of interest has been
shown by members of the Legislature,
many of them signed the petition, |
while others have assured us of their
undivided support and co-operation in
the matter. The exhibit has been very
successful in that it lias served its
purpose—to impress the ned of homes
for the care of feebleminded on the j
Legislature."

The exhibit has ben featured by ad
dresses and lectures by authorities on
the feebleminded question from Penn

Knola, Pa., March 20.—One of the few remaining landmarks of Revolu
tlonary days still in existence in tlio Knola district of Cumberland county i:
the farm house of Charles 11. Gottschall, located about, a (itiarter of t
mile from this place. The eld stone house was built in the spring of 1797,
some time after the close of the Revolutionary war, by David Newcomer.
The house was later sold to George Livingstone by the heirs of Mr. New
comer, and it remained in the possession ol Mr. Livingstone until it was
purchased by Anderson Gotschall, father of the present owner. It has been
in the Gotschall family for almost a half century. Although the surround

tact as oiY the day it was completed. Another historic building near he

DARING FEAT OF
RIVER PILOTS
Risk Lives lo Save Ferryboat
Caught in Ice Jam in
Susquehanna
Columbia, Pa., March 20. r — A dar
ing l'eat was performed on the Susque
hanna river, which has been ice-bound
hero for several months, by George
Leitheiser, the veteran pilot, of the
ferryboat, Helen. This boat was caught
in the moving ice a week ago, and haa
been marooned on a large floe since.
Accompanied by his grandson, George
C. Sprenkle, of AVrightsville, the aged
pilot made his way to within a few
hundred feet of the boat in a row
boat, but being unable to get nearer
the stranded steamer, the young pilot
threw out a plank on which lie floated
witli the current until he reached the
huso gorge surrounding the steamer,
from which ho. worked his way over
the ice and reaching the boat suc

taching a cable. It is thought that by
this means the steamer will be rescued
and as soon as the ice surrounding it
breaks loose and floats away, the boat
will be taken to the landing on the

CHINESE ARE SO
BUSY THEY HAVE
NO TIME FOR WAR
Mrs. Groff, Returned Mission- j
ary, Did Not Fear U-Roats j
on Voyage Home
When the China Mail steamship
China arrived in San Francisco, March
6, after a lengthy but uneventful voy
age from Hongkong, it brought back
to this country many Americans,
among whom were Mrs. G. Wiedman
Groff and her young son, Howry.
Mrs. Groff is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George W. Brinser, of 310
South Fifteenth street, with whom she
is visiting while here. Mrs. Groff
sailed for Canton, China, via Hong
kong, in August, 1912, returning on
the China February 8, 1917.
Asked about the war situation in
China prior to sailing, Mrs. Groff an
swered, to the surprise of all: "The
Chinese are so busy over there they
have no time for war talk, and one
hears little about it even from others."
On her arrival in this country she
was met on all sides with the question,
"Weren't you afraid the ship would be
sunk ?" She was as much surprised
at this question as the questioners
were with her cool rejoinder: "What
was there to be afraid of? We heard
of no reason to postpone our sailing."
Mr. Groff is the son of A. L. Groff,
formerly of Old Orchard, but now in
China at the head of the Mission
Hook Company of Canton city, while
Mr. Groff, Jr., is professor of agri
culture in the Canton Christian Col
lege. having taMen charge in 1908.
Mr. Groff, Jr., expects to return to
America in the summer for an ex
tended stay, later* returning to China
to once more take up his duties again
as instructor of the arts of American
ground cultivation.

takes only a few minutes to prepare.
Get from any druggist 2>/j ounces of j
Pinex (50 cents worth), pour it into a '
pint bottle and 1111 the bottle ,wiUi plain '
granulated sugar syrup. The total cost |
is about 64 cents and gives you a full
pint of really better cough syrup than
you could buy .xeady-made for $2.50.
Tastes pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and sugar syrup prepara
tion gets right at the cause of a cough
and gives almost immediate relief. It
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri

Amendment Would
Allow Judges to Either
Retire or Continue Service
Senator Craig, of Beaver, introduced
in the Senate to-day an amendment to
the Supreme and Superior Court
judges' retirement act, allowing judges
w(io have reached the retirement age,
6i>. either to retire at that age or serve
out their terms.
The bill introduced by Senator
Schantz repealing the act prohibiting
the hunting of wild birds or game by
unnaturalized foreign-born citizens and
forbidding their ownership of dogs was

of the bill, saying that a previous act
forbids them having weapons. He set
