The installation of talking pic
equipment was no small matter. It
quired much consideration by
Bros. before they could determine
what type of instrument would
suit the needs of the Grand tl
* there being more than eighty
machines to choose from. It w
after careful analysis of all the d
ent equipments that the type was
nally selected by them. Their
was made after experimenting
months with different talki
equipment in their theatres a
set and Corry. However,
ago realized that each theatre ;
ed a new problem when it cam
producing voice and music
due to the acoustics of the house, and
it was found out that almost ni
tenths of the theatres ii count
were improperly built for the reproc - |
tion of talking pictures. The
ten drowns out the sound of the voice
so much that it is impossible to deter- |
mine it’s meaning, or understand tt
words spoken. This, however, must be |
overcome by padding the walls I
felt or by hanging heavy draperies that
will absorb the sound. More than three
hundred square yards will be used inj
the Grand theatre. |
The talking picture equipment at the
Grand, while one of the best, will be
constantly improved by the addition of
all the latest regulations to secure
perfect reproduction.
For a couple of months silent

CONVENT AT LORETTO
Villiam Dimond of Johnstown to
Construct Buildings, the
Bishop Announces.
Ground will be broken in the near
future for the new Convent for the
Discalced Carmelite nuns at Loretto,
arrangements having been made by
mond, Johnstown contractor, to start
on the general contract. The Carmelite
order is one of the strictest communi-
ties for nuns and at the present there
no convent for the Discalced Car-
melites in Cambria County.
In anouncing the acceptance of ar=-
chitect’s plans and the letting of the
general contract for early completion
of the structure, the bishop points out
the fitness of Loretto as the home of
the daughters of Our Lady of Mt. Car-
mel. It was the prince-priest of the
Alleghenies, Father Gallitzin, who na-
med the town of Loretto after the
town in Italy which contains the Holy
House transported from Nazareth. The
new monastery will be modeled after
that of Lisieux, France, and in time to

sit Loretto.
At present the Carmelite Sisters are
residing in Eldorado, Blair county, the
foundresses of this order having come
from France about three years ago.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
WILL IMPROVE DETOUR
As a result of the closing of the state
highway route No. 22, leading from
Duncansville to Cresson, motorists now
must detour via the Buckhorn, Coupon
and Gallitzin. Due to a bad stretch of
road between the latter two points,
members of the Blair county Motor
Club have taken the matter up and
have been assured some help by the
highway department.
The highway between Coupon and
Gallitzin is a township thoroughfare.
It had been oiled earlier in the season
but because of the rather heavy traf-
fic prior to the establishment of this
section as a detour route, the road
surface broke down and has become
filled with inumerable ruts and bumps.
The Motor Club officials appealed to
Representative Fred A. Bell and he in
turn took the matter up with the
sate highway officials at Harisburg
wih a view of having the road put in
better condition, particularly while if
is in use as a detour section.
Mr. Bell has just been informed by
the state highway men that despite
the fact that it is a ownship road, one
on which the state usually does not do
any work under such conditions such
as at present exist, nevertheless the de-
partment has promised to do some
grading there, and to put the road in
good order for the accommodation of
the public.

White Township
To Change Roads
Upon petition of a number of resi-
dents and taxpayers of White township
the court on Tuesday afternoon ap-
pointed Attorney A. M. Shoemaker,
Adam Shuman and J. D. Ritter as a
board of viewers to view the prem ses
and make a report thereof, as pro-
vided by law, to determine whether or
not three certain sections of road tra-
versing the township should be vacat-
ed and other roads substituted there-
for. The petitions allege that the
roads as now laid out have become in-
convenient and burdensome by reason
of the sharp curves and steep grades
and that the roads will be very much
improved by changes in their routes.
The sections sought be vacated
are as follows:
That part of the public road extend-
ing from a point on the Chest town-
ship line through White township to
a point at the Clearfield county line,
approximately 7,900 feet in length.
That part of the public road begin-
ning at a point on the Flinton-Patton
road, 13,000 feet from the Coalport
road, which intersects the same and
extends from that point to the Chest
township line for a distance of 7,900
feet and known as the Schwartz road.
That part of the public road begin-
ning at a point on the Ebensburg-Phil-
ipsburg pike, 1,000 feet from an inter-
secting road leading from the Pike to
Frugality, approximately 5000 feet in
length, extending from the above
point in the direction of Condron to |
the White township line.

CORRECT THE CHILD'S
PHYSICAL DEFECTS
will
time this
are going
“Thousands of young people
| start to school for the first
autumn. And many parent
| to take the physical condition of their
| children for granted. T! will, of
| course, have them vaccinated because
the law requires this be done. Then
| with a blessing, they will start them
on their way with much of the job un-
finished,” said Dr. Theo. B. Appel,
secretary of health, this week.
“Throughout the summer months the
department’s mobile health units are
invading many remote rural sections
where thorough physical examinations
are being made upon the pre-school
children and advice for the correction
of physical defects are being suggested
and followed up. These children are
fortunate, indeed.
“However, there yet remains a large
proportion of children in the cities
and towns to whom this service is not
available in this form but whose need
for it is just as great as it is for the
child in the isolated secitons.
“It is not enough that the prospec-
ive pupil does not complain of any
pain. Pain is the language of acute
and sub-acute conditions. Frequently
it is altogether lacking in many of the
physical conditions that urgently need
correction. Many so-called ‘repeaters’
and dull children merely need some
slight correction promptly to get them
out of this classification. In munici-
palities this obligation for the most
part, where the pre-school child is
concerned, rests upon the parents al-
one.
“With the splendid facilities in cit-
ies and towns there is absolutely no
excuse for the child to be sent into the
kindergarten or first grade with a cor-
rectable physical defect. Yet this is ex-
actly what happens in thousands of
instances to children every fall whose
parents are indifferent to their phy-
sical condition.
“Under nourishment bad teeth and
tonsils, weak eyes, defective hearing,
{impaired hearts and many other de-
ficiencies are readily discovered by
your attending physician or by hospi-
tal clinicians. The presence of any one
of these defects will undoubtedly han-
dicap your child in its school career.
“Therefore, if you are fortunate po-
sessor of a boy or girl entering school
for the first time this year see to it
that a complete physical examination
is made as soon as possible. Sufficient
time yet remains for correction be-
tween now and the opening of school.
“The young school children deserve
an even break and a square deal. Give
it to them by starting them to school
physically fit.”

ANNA DESCENDANTS HOLD
REUNION AT HORNE HOME
A reunion of the descendants of the
late Charles Anna was held last Sun-
day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Horne at St. Augustine. Approx-
imately one hundred people attended
the outing which was featured by a
program of races and games for the
children and other diversements for
the older folks. Dinner and supper
were served in picnic fashion at large
tables grouped on the lawn at the
Horne homestead.
Charles Anna, who was but four
years old when he was brought from
Germany to Patton by his parents,
lived on a vast tract of untouched for-
est land, part of which was later clear-
ed and sold as a site for Patton. The
first land was cleared about 88 years
ago, many years before the mining
and clay manufacturing industries
which support the town were begun.
Mr. Anna died in 1908, and the follow-
ing children survive him: Mrs. Joseph
Horne, of St. Augustine; Mrs. Peter |

REFUSES TO INSTITUTE
OUSTER PROCEEDINGS
In an opinion handed down last week
Attorney General Cyrus E. Woods re-
fuses to institute quo warranto pro-
ceedings against Frank P. Barnhart,
additional law judge of Cambria coun-
ty, holding that there is no warrant in
law to sustain the contention of Jos-
eph A. Wilner et al, of Cambria coun- |
ty, that Judge Barnhart is ineligible |
to office. |
The attorney general, in his opinion, |
reviews the proceedings brought ag- |
ainst Judge Barnhart, in which pro- |
ceedings the state, through the attor- |
ney general, was asked to institute ac- |
tion in the supreme court seeking to
oust Judge Barnhart, on the ground
that a plea of nole contendre entered |
by Mr. Barnhart 11 years ago fo an |
indictment charging forgery by seal, |
in that he wrote the word “seal” after |
a signature on a note, was a “con-
viction” under the law. |
Attorney General Woods disposes of |
this by declaring that in his opinion, |
“The- plea of nole contendere is not |
: “ a ‘conviction’ nor is a suspension |
of sentence by the court on payment |
of costs.” |

South
Je the Most At Fault.
SAY INVESTIGATOR SHOULD BE HIRED BY POOR BOARD
Finding that fines imposed by the]
mayor of Johnstown on violators of
the liquor law are “inadequate to act
as a sufficient deterrent to offenders,”
and the sale of lots on the Beuna Vista
plan in the Seventeenth ward of the
city of Johnstown, made by Meade
Cauffiel, son of the mayor, “men
and women whose business subjected
them to appearasice nefore the mayor
in his capacity as police magistrate,”
a practice to be condemned, the Jun
grand jury filed its report before
Judge McCann on Tuesday and
discharged.
Reconvened June 11 to conduct a
general investigation of law enforce-
ment conditions in the city of Johns-
town and Cambria County, the grand
jury was in session seven weeks and
heard testimony from 70 witnesses.
“After conducting a most searching
inquiry,” the report says, “we find no
corruption, bribery, collusion or per-
sonal misconduct on the part of any
offical of Cambria County or of any
detective or member of the police
force of the city of Johnstown.”
In its findings, however, the grand
jury points out that it has exposed a
most lax enforcement of the liquor
laws in several boroughs, notably the
municipalities of East Conemaugh and
Franklin, “where offenders against the
liquor laws are at intervals, fined un-
der tippling house ordinances, without
any serious effort being made to pre-
vent further violations. This practice
has resulted in virtual licensing of law
violation for the benefit of municipal
treasuries and is strongly to be con-
demned.”
The grand jury also recommends
that in the future all arrests in the
city of Johnstown on charges of vio-
lating the liquor laws be made the ba-
sis of commonwealth charges, “so that
adequate punishment may be imposed
upon persons who continue to violate
the law.” |
“It would appear,” says the report, |
“that the constabiss, with few excep-!
tions, are not active in law enforce-
ment, nor in tracing the manufacture
and dispopition of illicit liquor,” and
that the activities of the district at-
orney’s office in regard to liquor law
enforcement, “have been more restrict-
ed than might be desired.”
The report continues, “It is claimed
by prominent federal enforcement off-
icers that there was very little coop-
eration between them and the district
attorney's office and that as a result
of this, as well as of alleged Yght pen-
alties imposed within the county, fed-
eral prosecutions relating to liquor
law violations in this county have been
made in the federal courts.

has been any serious failure in this
respect.”
The grand jury did find, however,
that the “violation of the liquor laws
in Cambria county is alarming.” :
The grand jury finds that its origin-
al recommendations to the poor board
to remedy conditions at the county
poor farm are being carried out in a
meritorious manner.
A recommendation that a trained in-
vestigator be employed to look into all
applications for poor relief is contain-
ed in the report, the grand jury finding
that the “labor and responsibility of
investigation, passing upon and caring
for the large number of people feM on
the three members of the poor board
entirely with the result that only one
member could have any idea of the
conditions existing in any one case.”
The employment of an investigator
will, the inquiring body believes, “re-
sult in a material saving to the tax-
payers of the county.”
Referring to the parole system in
vogue in Cambria county, the grand
jury finds that “many persons violat-
ing the liquor laws are apprehended by
municipal or federal authorities after
having been paroled for good behavior
by the county courts, but this informa-
tion is not “brought to the attention
of the court with the result that vi-
olation of the parole goes unnoticed.”
Commenting on the lack of public
interest manifest in law enforcement,
the report says: “The integrity of of-
ficials has been definitely determined.
In spite of integrity, laxity has like-
wise been found. Such laxity is in pro-
portion to the interest which the pub-
lic has in enforcement.
“It is felt that disrespect for the
liquor laws has produced disrespect for
all law and there is a serious alarm ov-
er what the future might develop,” the
report continues.
“The existence of disrespect for law
and lack of confidence in the admin-
istration of justice is always a most
serious matter, whether justified or
not, and if it is necessary for those
charged with the enforcement of law
to accept more responsibility than the
strict letter of the law demands in or-
der that respect for law may be main-
tained, such added duties should un-
hesitatingly be assumed. Leadership
and example are expected from those
selected for the honor of public of-
fice.”
In discharging the grand jury Judge
McCann expressed the appreciation of
the court for the faithful work of its
members and the special prosecutor,
Russell R. Yost, and assured them that
they had the complete confidence of
the court throughout their investiga-
tion.
Judge McCann declared that he had
visited a number of counties in Penn-
a and that he believed Cambria
County compared most favorably as to
law forcement, even with the so-
“dry” counties.
