Oakland Homemakers Discuss
Window Curtains at Meeting

Curtains for your windows" was
the problem discussed at the last reg
ular meeting of the Oakland Home
makers club on Friday, April 10. In
choosing window curtains the men,
bers were told to keep in mind that
the purpose of the window is to give
light and ventilation and to permit a
view of the outside.
To be useful, the window decora-
lions must not conceal an attractive
view, prevent adequate ventilation or
shut out too much sunlight. Win
dows are curtained to give privacy to
a room, to soften the light, to break
the severe lines of the window frame,
to introduce color and to complete a
scheme of decoration.
Glass curtains should harmonic
with the general color value of the
room. Cream, tan and ecrue are the
most satisfactory colors for glass cur
tains. White curtains may be used in
rooms with light walls and white
Woodwork but even here the light
cream will give softer light and be
more attractive. i tsI 81.

DECISION is WITHHELD
IN SUIT OF MARTIN RUSH
FlintstOne Residents Sued to
Enforce Payment of Note

Testimony and argument in the
suit of Martin Rush, of near Oakland,
against w. P. Heavier, Silas Kifer,
Frank Roland, Edward Bane, W. S.
Stonestreet and w. Stickler, of Flint
stone district, was completed last
Thursday afternoon in the Circuit
court at Cumberland before Judge
Albert A. Doub, who withheld decis-
ion.
Rush sued to enforce payment of a
promissory note, in connection with
the sale of a stallion, "Ihfernal De-
Huyst." The defendants, forming a
stock company known as the Belgian
Horse company, at Flintstone in May,
1926, purchased the animal from the
Ohio stock company, Terra Alta, w.
A promissory note for $4,000 was
endorsed by the defendants. The
note was reduced, by payments and
discounts, to 1888, when it was sold
to Rush, who resides near Oakland
The makers of the note then declined
to pay, claiming that the note was
obtained from them by fraud and that
the animal was worthless.
Rush was represented by George w
Legge, Cumberland, and E. R. Jones

RIFLE ORGANIZATION AT
CRELLIN STILL GROWING
Now Boasts 43 Members, Modern
Clubhouse and Gallery

From small organization of eleven
members formed February IT, 1927,
the Youghiogheny Rife and Revolver
Association of Crellin has grown I'M
til at present it has forty-three men,
bers, clubhouse free of debt, a num-
Der of extremely good marksmen, and
is now challenging any team in this
county or the surrounding communi-
ties to a match.
The officers are L. C. Yutzy, presi-
dent; William Hoover, vice president;
R. c. Ford, secretary treasurer, who
have been reelected each year since
the organization of the club.
Plans for the erection Of the club
house and indoor shooting range were
made in the spring of 1927, and
through finance plan of the Stanley
Coal Company, the building is now
completed and is up-to-date in every
respect at an approximate cost of
$500. 1t contains an indoor range,
movable backstops to any distance up
to rs yards. The club room, 20 by 26
feet, adjoins the shooting range. The
gallery is so arranged that ten per-
sons may shoot at one time-five from
the standing position and five in either
the prone, sitting or kneeling position.
The club has eliminated, so far as
possible, all danger, the targets being
so arranged that each one may be
drawn to the firing line without any
one approaching beyond that point.
The lawn about the clubhouse is in
fine condition, and this will be beau
tilted by the planting of flowers. Many
other improvements are being planned
for the summer months, the members
already being engaged at work on
running deer target. The target will
be operated on a cable among under
growth and will have much the ap-
pearance of live deer.
A 200-yard range, on which high
powered rifles may be used, has also
been completed The backstop is so
constructed that the bullets will be
imbedded directly in a hillhide. With
these diversions the marksmen Of
Crellin are planning for many good
times dring the coming spring and
summer.

The main factors In deciding the
controversy, which is one of the most

circles in recent years, will be the per-
sons who hold from $4,000 to 10000
shares OF Standard Of Indiana stock.
Most of these stockholders will vote for

Other outstanding factors in the con-
test will be the large blocks of stock
held by the Hardness, Flagler and

bulk holdings Of individuals In other
Standard Oils such as Standard of
New York and Standard of New Jersey,
where Mr.. Rockefeller is a dominant
figure.

holders, Of which there are approx
mately $4,000. The floating supply of the
company's stock is relatively small.

the material for Rockne's yarn The colorful
Army-Notre Dame games of the past have each
yielded at least one good story, and this years
game can be expected to carry on the tradition.
One of Rockne's favorite Army game yarns
was two years in the making.
"In 1926 Notre Danes defense against West
Point was impregnable," he recalls. LAS far
as any one could TELL it was simply case OF

foot ball factor in the South, but it isn't
the point of this story about two Negro foot
ball teams who were battling each other under
blazing Southern skies.
"This game was being played down in Bir-
mingham," says Rockne, land although neither
team received any money for their alleged ek-
forts both called themselves professionals for
prestige
1.-THE quarterback of the ALI Collegians had
been an old teammate of the fullback on the op-
posing side. The game hadn't gone over 10 or
Is minutes before this defensive fullback noticed
that the All-Collegians' quarterback was using
the same old signals that both had used back at
I Will Arise Normal, where they had been class
mates
LAS soon the fulback had made sure, he
said to himself, Well, I'm sure going to fix EN-
At this particular moment the All-CollegianS
had the ball in midfeld and the quarterback,
looking them over, began to call his signals
slowly and in single digits, '6-t8-2,' and
so on.
1.-THE signal system consisted merely in add
ing the first two digtS, so the fulback held up
his fingers and added, six and four is ten:
that's an end run
Shutting out to the end he waited and when
the ball carrier arrived there the knowing full
back promptly threw him for no gain. Upper
turbed by this the quarterback of the All-Cole-
gians stood up, looked the defensive fullback
full in the eye and called: '6-2-4-8.' The
1ull DaCk aQQed the nrSC Two ngureS again ana
learned that a reverse play was about to be
attempted Again he mixed up the compii-
Gated play and threw the perplexed ball carrier
for no gain.
1.-The quarterback was sorely perplexed for q
second, but composing himself, began again:
11-3-6-4.' The full back took little
longer time to add this. Then I'll and is IA
that's forward pass Then he called out.
Look out for pass boys look out!
'The quarterback, when he saw that the OPP
posing team was hep, stood in quandary for q
second or two and then a look of recognition
came to his face. oh, remember you now
he said, and signaled to his team
Looking the defensive fullback square in the
eye, he called out confidently, 9 times Z, you
square head, I know you don't remember your
multiplication tables'"

are becoming more and more effemnate

quarterback barked out some numbers the faces
of all four Army backfeld men turned red and.
of course the Notre Dame defense was thrown
into confusion.
Incidentally, this is the first foot ball CON-
test on record where the game was won by four
flushing"
N|AaM Septembers delay the start of earnest
w foot ball practice and every coach in the
country would give lot for a way to condition
q team when faced with this handicap.
Rockne tells the story of a coach who thought
he had such system and how 1t all but laid
up his squad, at least until after the opening
games.
This coach had seen a soccer game" Rockne
relates, land all the running around it in
volved gave him the idea that the game would
be great conditioner for his team, before the
cooler days came along, when he could settle
down to serious work. So he went down to q
sporting goods store and bought a round soccer
ball.
Bringing it out to the squad he told them
what he had in mind. Now haven't time to
go into the technical rules of the game of Soc
GER so for this afternoons contest we will just
bear two things in mind, either kick the ball or
kick your opponent in the shins.'
AFTER dividing the squad into two equal sides,
the coach asked, What's become of that soccer
ball bought? And one of the Irish lads on
the squad answered. To Hades with the bali,
let's start the camel"
