PROBE FIRE AT
ALVERDA HOUSE
Pvt. Arthur C. Wood, head of the
criminal investigation division of the
Indiana detachment of State Motor
Police, last Thursday night revealed
an attempt by an incendiary to burn
a two story frame building at Alverda
while four persons slept on the second
floor early Thursday morning. Inves-
tigation by Pvt. Wood disclosed that
some person or persons saturated the
front porch and front of the building
with gasoline, laid a four-inch “ribbon”
of black powder irom the porch to the
highway 80 feet away and then set
fire to the powder.
Michael J. Barton, 61, proprietor of
the restaurant and bar that occupies
the ground floor of the building, was
awakened about 3 a. m. and discov-
ered the porch and front of the build-
ing ablaze. He awakened the other
occupants of the building — Fred |
Bakale, 46, his barkeep; Mrs. Mary
Bakale, wife of the barkeeper and al
niece, Miss Anna Bakale. The four, |
with the aid of a neighbor, J. C.
Bagley, succeeded in extinguishing the!
flames. |
Barton, a resident of Alverda the
last 25 years and a former mine fore- |
mar. for the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke
Corp., notified the State Motor Police
and an investigation is in progress. |
Pvt. Wood reported finding a five;
gallon can that had contained gasoline
and also the black-lined trail of bur-
ned powder from the highway to the
floor of the porch.
The Barton restaurant and bar is lo-
cated along the Heilwood-Nicktown
lighway in Pine Township. near the
Cambria County line, and stands a
short distance back from the highway.
ASKS AGRICULTURAL
COMPENSATION LAW
Harrisburg — The State Senate last
Thursday held a bill to amend the
Workmen’s Compensation Act to per-
mit the extension of state compensa-
tion insurance to agriculture employes.
As amended, the bill would extend
the act so that“ all persons who per-
form services of any kind for employ-
ers engaged in agriculture shall be
protected by the provision of this act
only in cases in which such employers
have taken out workmen's compen-
sation insurance.”
Farmers would still remain free to
stay outside the act’s provisions but in
the evnt they took out state work-
men’s compensation the benefits of the
act would extend to their employes.
The bill owas introduced by Senator
Charles R. Mallery, Republican, Blair,
and was referred to the Judiciary Gen-
eral Committee.
CALLS UPON STATE
TO PRESERVE SHIPS
Harrisburg — A measure calling
upon Pennsylvania, home of two fam-
ous warships, to keep them in condi-
tion was lodged in a House committee
last week.
Representative Delbert W. Dalyry-
mple, Republican, Erie, proposed a
$25000 appropriation to complete re-
construction of the U. S. S. flagship
of Commodore Perry in the battle of
Lake Erie, and to recondition and pre-
serve the U. S. Wolverine, the nation’s
first all-metal warship.
Both vessels are preserved as relics

ELEANOR POWELL
IN “HONULULU” NEXT
SUNDAY AND MONDAY
It is a perfectly safe bet to wager
anyone you know that he can’t keep
kis feet out of motion through the
showing of “Honolulu” which will be
the attraction at the Grand theatre in
Patton cn Sunday and Monday next.
The tap dancing by Eleanor Powell
and the music that accompanies it are
both so likely that nothing less than
a cigar store Indian or an Eskimo
totem pole could resist the urge to
beat rhythm.
In addition to Miss Powell this new
musical mirthpiece has the versatile
Robert Young in an amusing dual
role and the irrepressible George
Burns and Gracie Allen of screen and
radio fame. A splendid supporting
cast features Rita Johnson, Clarence
Kclb, Jo Ann Sayers, Ann Morris, Wil-
lic Fung, Cliff Clark, Edward Gargan,
Eddie Anderson, Sig Rumann, Ruth
Hussey, Keahola Holt and Edgar Dear-
ing.
Eleanor Powell again proves her
title as the world’s most accomplished
ieminine tap dancer in three spectac-
ular numbers, “Hymn to the Sun,” an
imitation of Bill Robinson's famous
stair dance, and a number done with
the aid cf a skipping rope. In all of
them Miss Powell reveals the remark-
able talent that has brought her into
the front ranks.
The picture’s outstanGing song num-
bers are “Honolulu,” “The Leader
Doesn't Like Music,” and “This Night
Will Be My Souvenir,” with Andy Io-
na’s Islanders, most famous of all the
Hawaiian native orchestras, lending
authenticity to the musical background
of the hula numbers.
In addition to the musical comedy
features, there is a plausible story in
“Honolulu” in whigh Robert Young
carries a dual role, first as a Holly-
wood movie star, then as a planter
from Hawaii.
The screen idol, weary of public
adulation, attends a Hollywood open-
ing . ..A crowd mistakes the Honolulu
planter for the star and mobs him for
This gives the star an
idea and he arranges with his double
to exchange places. Assured of a va-
cation the movie man sails for Hono-
lulu and on the boat meets a cabaret
aancer, played by Miss Powell.
The complications come in Hawaii
when he discovers that he has ac-
quired his double’s difficulties which
include a girl and a charge of em-
bezzlement. The unhappy situation is
straightened when the planter is in-
duced to return to the island and all
is as it should be.
