PAxTANG PARK

With his habitual disregard for
popular superstition, King Kelly has
chosen Friday as the day on which he
will make a daring attempt at using
six parachutes in single drop from
his balloon to Mother Earth. During
his annual weeks visit to Paxtang Mr..
Kelly usually chooses one day for the
performance of some particularly haz-
ardous aeronautic feat These special
stunts of Kelly's are always great
drawing cards, and large crowds flock
out to the park to see just how far 1t
is possible for a man to go in the de-
fiance of the laws of gravita tion and
get away with IT. Kelly always lands
safe and sound, but every spectator
realizes that the six-parachute jump is
too dangerous to be common and that
he has seen a feat that very few aero
nauts have the nerve to perform.
The show at the park theater, this
week, is perhaps as great drawing
card as the balloon ascensions. Ger
tainly but few acts have pleased the
park audiences as well as Arthur Geary
has Mr.. Geary's superb tenor voice
puts him In class by himself, when 1t
comes to park attractions. It is seldom
that a singer of his ability is heard
outside of a 50 attraction.
The Seven Castiluccis caught the
fancy of the park patrons with a brass
band act of more than ordinary merit.
The act compares favorably with the
best in its class. The balance of the
park bill Is made up of excellent ma
terial--Advertiseme

and in fact anything he could find
loose in the houses he entered. When
arrested the chain he stole was found
in his clothes, but the watch was gone.
In his confession to Trooper Davies
he said he threw the watch out of the
window of the room in which he
changed clothes prior to being brought
here from the farm near Reading.
The officer returned to the farm late
yesterday afternoon to get the watch.
Used Skeleton Keys
When placed under arrest Owen had
several skeleton keys in his possession
which he used effectively in his op-
erations. Local authorities were at a
loss to know where to find the robber
who has terrorized residents outside of
Duncannon for several months past.
AS last resort the state police were
appealed to and Trooper Davies was
dispatched here. Evidence which the
officer obtained showed Owen to be the
perpetrator, but just when he was
about to be placed under arrest he left
this section. Again the state officer
set to work and learned that the man
went to Reading and thta last Satur-
day he had obtained employment on a
farm eight miles outside of the Berks
county city. The trooper made a hur-
rled trip to the farm and after Squire
Fl. II. Seig had written out a commit
ment Owen was lodged safely in jail
He is held without ball.
While working on the robberies
Trooper Davies arrested Clyde Alan
der and Vestel Billow on a charge of
dynamiting Sherman's creek and kill
ing many game fish. They were taken
before a squire and fined 500 each.

field, are not safe when his wormship
is abroad"
News dispatches from Delaware to-
day state that q similar devastation
of the worm is reported in the vicinity
of Washington. 1t is thought that the
moths from which the worms origi-
nate, may have been hatched from
eggs contained in wheat straw receiv-
ed from Western States last Fall or
winter and are now making their ap-
pearance here. The worms were first
reported in this city at the home of
Samuel Harris, 1929 North Sixth
street. Mrs. Harris returned from
visit out of town Sunday to find the
lawn looking bare and gray.
How to Kill Worms
Mr.. Harris used a mixture of milk,
coal oil and hot water which appeared
to drive the bugs off the grass. At
the State biologists office this morn
ing it was said that Professor Sur
faces bulletin would recommend
mixture of one ounce of arsenate of
lead to one gallon of water. This
should be sprinkled thoroughly over
the lawn. In York they are using
Paris Green and lime in an attack on
the insects. 1t is said that the worms
are most destructive during a wet
summer. The animal gets It's name
from the fact that 1t always travels in
vast numbers and the appearance of
the insects crawling over the ground
is like the advance of an army.
Unfortunately the mixtures devised
do not kill all the worms and to pre-
vent them getting from one 6eld to
another 1t is necessary to plough a,
deep furrow. throwing the dirt away
from the worms or in the direction to-
ward which they are travelling. They
fall into the furrow but fail to make
their way out in the opposite direction
and will travel along the bottom. An
other way Is to make post holes at in
tervals of probably about twenty feet,
and they will drop into the holes
where they can easily be destroyed If
there should be roadbed running be-
tween the two fields and heavy roll
ler is at hand, it may be that If the
ground is even 1t is possible to de-
stroy them by crushing them, is the
advice of United States government
expert.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washing gton also says that the poison
bran bait, made by the following for
.mula. One pound Paris Green, fifty
pounds wheat bran and the juices of
one half dozen of oranges, is effective.
Bring this to a stiff dough by the
use of diluted molasses and scatter
about where the worms are at work
when they will feed upon it and be
killed in this way

This doggerel represents the belief

persons still believe in this old time

theory has it that If 1t rains on

consecutive days thereafter
when st. Swithin died, in the ninth
century. he requested that he be buried
under the greenwood tree But his
people-he was abbot of a monastery
preferred to lay him in the nave of
the abbey church. This peeved
st. Swithin so that he caused rain to

the open air. Then the skies cleared.

RAILROAD CHANGES

The outlook for the railroads of the United States is better in some respects than it appears to be at a superficial glance There .are possibilities in the way of iu- Creasing car service, for example, which may play an important part in railroad economics.
 Little by little, it may be taken for granted, the railways will find means Of getting more mileage for their cars, by the day and by the year. Now the average days movement of freight car, includ- ing empty return journeys, is only about twenty-three miles. That seems much lower than it need be. It means a great deal of standing still, in yards and on sidings.
 And there is room for better re- suits in loading cars. Some kinds Of heavy traffic are carried on with full loads, as a rule, but many other lines are entirely different in that respect. Except in such traffic as the iron ore, coal and grain trade of districts where iu- dustries and commerce are high Iy developed, the average load of a freight ear is not more than half .of its capacity.
 There is opportunity for groa- Improvements, also, in the handling of much merchandise in freight de- pots. II machinery can be subsyi- tuted for even 10 per cent of the hand labor used the saving will be important.
 But these changes cannot come lat once. They demand time and they must depend upon the slow processes of evolution in business. The big and urgent question of railroad rates which is now be- for the national governments eN- perts cannot be put aside. however il may be decided, to wait for im- portaut changes in daily car mile age. in average car loads. or in freight handling devices and methods.-CleveIaud Leader.
