RAIN HAMPERS
HIGHWAY WORK
State Highway Department
Issues Statement Showing
Unusual Conditions

The State Highway Department
that the Pennsylvania road building
operations this year had encountered
some of the rainiest weather known
in summer for years. Between June
and September s. ninety-seven
days, there were thirty-five days of
rain on an average in six districts
wherein United States weather bu-
reau offices are located, hampering
operations.
The statement says: 1.-The United
States Department of Agriculture
has weather bureaus in Reading,
Scranton, Harrisburg, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and Erie. Rainfall of
sufficient quantity as to prevent road
work by contractors fell on thirty
six days between June l and Sep
tember s, in the Reading district,
3S days in the Scranton district, 81
in the Harrisburg district, So in
Philadelphia, 80 in Pittsburgh, and
81 in Erie. August was the wettest
month, reports from these six dis
tricts show, there being a total of
II days of rain in the six.
Rains of this summer were, how
ever, below normal in the Erie dis
trlct. from June 1 to september B,
the rainfall in the Erie district to-
tailed 1904 inches; the normal for
that period approximated 1925.
I'm the other five districts of
Pennsylvania the rainfall was much
greater than normal. For example,
in the Philadelphia district, normal
for the period in question was 1924,
while the total precipitation was
1907 inches. In the Pittsburgh dis
trict, precipitation totaled 16.9
inches; normal 11.49. The normal
in the Scranton district was 11.65
inches. while the total for the re-
Gently ended period was 1858 inches.
In the Harrisburg district, precipi-
tation reads 16.04 inches and the
normal was 11.67 inches. In the
Reading district, normal was 1887
and this years record was 1886
inches.
'The rainfall for September has
ranged about normal. Just at the
time the contractors were getting
dry weather, however, 1t became diff
ficult to secure stone. For the last
week the State Highway Depart
ment has been bending every effort
to make it easier for contractors on
1S0 projects to receive stone ship
ments."

ments are being made for a hearing
within the next ten days on the de-
murrer filed by the Attorney Gen
eral on behalf of the Auditor GEN
eral and State Treasurer in the ap-
preparation equity action. Attorney
General William I. Schaffer will
argue on behalf of the State.
Donaldson Away - In the abb
sence of Insurance Commissioner
Thomas B. Donaldson, who is in
Virginia, it is improbable. that any
action will be taken in regard to
the differential and the State Work
mems Insurance Fund until he re-
turns. Whether any effort to re-
call the decision will be made is not
known.

of the Auditor Generals Department,
was congratulated to-day on the
York primary results. He won all
except one fight in twenty eight
against strong combination formed
against him in York city and county.

DEATH OF AUTHOR
DURING HUN OCCUPATION
OF LILLE, JUST REVEALED

Lie, Sept. 18.-The tragic death
of Adolphe Degeyter. the composer
of the Internationale," who passed
away here during the German occu-
patton, has just become known to
the city. Degeyter, a man of strong
character. laborious workingman,
had written several songs which he
and his brother-in-law used to sing.
He made no pretension to being q
musician. but took great pleasure in
playing the bugle. 1t was on this
instrument that he played the fa-
nous air which he wrote to the
words of Eugene Pottier's, and the
first time he sang it was to some
of his comrades in a cabaret here.
Then his wife died. His brother
went to Paris and passed himself off
as the author of the famous air.
The two misfortunes worked dis

began to drink heavily and con-.

strong that he would leave a cafe
if any one began to. sing or play
some musical instrument.

JOY FOR THE BOYS

Rhoda Royals Hippodrome Shows,
Trained Wild Animal and OldBuffalo
Wild West, will exhibit on Friday,
June goth, afternoon and evening in
Barbourville.
A Circus is something that no boy
or girl should be permitted to miss.
Within the Circus tent, there is a
mystic realm which, to the children's
minds contains the acme of all that
is wonderful and bewildering. The
great rhetorical and red posters that
come in advance have filed every
young mind with visions of perfect
haven of delight and amusement
and nothing can fill the childish
heart with so much gloom and abject
dependency as the IDEA of being de-
barred from casting wide eyes about
this wonderland, beautiful as it will
appear beneath the big waterproof
tents.
This Circus has among its many
novelties the only high school man
age mule in the world, Little Hen
ry," and this hybrid equine makes
the renowned comic mule, Maud and
her trainer, ST. look mild and
meek The animal, at a word of com
mand. can kick Il hundred ways in
a minute, at the next command can
be so dOcile that child can lie down
between its four legs or mount it
and ride around the ring. 1t is so
trained to cake walk, perform the
Spanish trot and jump over gates
four feet high.
Besides, there is Prof. Whites eel

In the aggregation you will see

walls of more pretentious nature 1t

acts which mars and distracts an aud
fence in the mammoth shows and
this feature of giving the entire per-
