Wolf dale Boy Critically Injured When Hit By Truck WASHINGTON, Pa Dec.

30. Clarence Armstrong, aged 12 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Armstrong, of Wolfdale, is in the Washington hospital critically injured, following an accident near his home Saturday afternoon about 4:30 Hospital authorities reported his condition as extremely critical late this afternoon and have considered it the same since he was first admitted. He is, suffering from a fracture at the base of his skull.

Patrolman Rosensway, of the Washington detachment or highway patrol, investigated the accident, and learned that the boy was struck by a McCol-lum company truck, while he was standing along the highway with two other boys. Boys Hurt When Shrapnel Bomb, As Plaything; Explodes INDIANA, Dec. 30. (INS) Three boys were injured and the windows in nearby houses shattered in an explosion of terrific force when a 'shrapnel bomb with which the lads were playing let go when it was struck against the wall of a house. George Boring, 13, had his right hand blown off at the knuckle Joints; Edwin Quigg, 13, had his left eye gouged out when it was struck by a flying finger from Boring's hand and suffered a shrapnel wound in the cheek while Donald Quigg, 15, his brother, received a deep cut in the chest when he was struck by a flying fragment of the shell.

Edwin was removed to his home while the other lads are in serious condition in the hospital here. The shell had been kent on the mantle of the Boring home and was thought to be harmless. It had been found on the practice field at Gretna two years ago when a member of the Boring family was there with the local company of the state militia. The shot and T. N.

T. had been removed to make it safe. The lads took the shell to play with outside. George Boring held it with the detonating facing outward audi struck it against the wall of the house and it exploded, with terrific force. 25 Arrested For Operating Theatres On Sunday WHEELING, Dec.

The shows will go on and so will the arrests until there has been a court interpretation of the Sunday laws, theatre owners and enforcement officers agree.

Tardy Applicants HARRISBURG, Dec. 30. (INS) -Tardy applicants for 1930 automobile lic-cense blates today formed a line twa squares long in front of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Motor patrolmen were on duty, to see that, the waiting applicants, many of whom were women, kept their proper places in the line. Small, Lightweight Cuts of Only Moderate Fatness Are Wanted.

(rreparrfi by the CrSted States Department ot Agriculture.) American people are demanding high quality in meats more than ever before, but there is still a misconception on the part of many meat bujers as to what constitutes the best quality. Explaining this situation, O. G. Han-kins of the United States Department of Agriculture, points out that the importance of the fat 'content of meat is not generally understood. Market Demands.

"Many people believe that meat which tends to be lean is of higher quality than that which is quite fat," declares Mr. nankins. "They regard the fat as unpalatable and fail to recognize the relation between a somewhat liberal proportion of fat and tenderness in the cooked meat. Generally speaking, there is an increased demand for rather small, lightweight, retail cuts of only moderate fatness. "Aside from fatness or leanness several characteristics of meat are of particular interest to tho consumer.

The foremost of these is tenderness. The natural tenderness of meat appears to be caused by one or more factors, such as breeding, feeding, age, or management of the animal, yet tough meat can be made tender and toothsome by proper handling and cooking. Tho best indication of natural tenderness known at present is or the distribution of particles of fat through tho Meat Consumption. Figures compiled by the Department of Agriculture show that in 192S the per capita consumption of meat and lard in the United States was 153 pounds. Of this total, 7 pounds wrfs pork, CI pounds beef, 7 pounds veal, pounds lamb and mutton, and 15 pounds lard.

To assist live-stock producers and packers in supplying the kind of meat desired by the public the department and 25 state agricultural experiment stations are working jointly on a national meat research project. It is expected that this research ultimately will help greatly to supply more of the kind of meat that the public wants. Planning Gardens Use Every Foot of Land Use every foot of ycur land in planning for a garden. Idle patches only produce weeds. When one crop is harvested, another shouid be planted to fill the vacancy.

Warm season crops, such as tomatoes and andjate seeded crops, such as turnips, may follow early cool season crops, such as lettuce, spinach, radishes and pep-pergrass. Plan to give the long growing season crops the most favorable space. Short season crops, such as lettuce, spinach and radishes, may be planted between the long season crop rows. A rotation of the various crops over the land checks disease and insects, and utilizes all the plant food avail able year after year. Shallow rooted crops, like onions, should follow deep rooted crops, such as cabbage.

Potatoes, corn, and vine crops require too much space in small gar dens, but, if grown, the space between the rows can be used early in the sea son for quick mtturirg crops. Scarified Clover Seed Produces Best Results While occasionally one hears of good results obtained by sowing unscarified sweet clover seed, such practice Is risky business. If weather conditions happen to be right, unscarified seed can be sown in February or March and thawing in snow or damp ground' will soften the hard hull of the seed until a fair stand may be obtained. On the average, 1 a CO cent stand is about (he best that can be expected by such a practice. Properly scarified seed will give a 90 per cent stand under the same conditions, as a rule.

This is implying, of course, that the ground is properly limed or of such natural composition as to favor the growth of the sweet clover. Fertilizer to Produce Largest Profit on Farm High-analysis fertilizer, shown by tests made by experiment stations to produce the most profit for farmers, has practically no odor. Many new fertilizer materials, such as nitrogen that is fixed from the air, resemble sugar or salt and have no odor. Farm ers who rely on their noses for determining quaity got the habit when fertilizers were made largely from waste products. Much of the complete fer tilizer now on the market contains mostly straight chemical materials that have practically no odor.

Miss Georgia Jackson, of Washington, and Miss Celia Dalton, of Taylors-town, spent the week-end with their cousin, Miss Austio McCracken, of Reed avenue. Borah Mokes Continued From Page One.) Borah rebellion merely to his irrita tion over the accepted fact that pre hibition enforcement during the first year ot the Hoover administration is not much different from what it was under the two preceding administrations, and Borah, in the last campaign proclaimed from a hundred platform that it wouid be. Whatever the reasou, Senator Borah seems definitely off the Hoover reservation and ort the war path wij.h prohibition fpi; He-want? scalps, too.

He wants specific-ally the scalps of all those district attorneys whose districts saloons are running, and there is more than a suspicion that he wants other and higher top-knots. The schism between the Idahoan and the White House is regarded Washington, as peculiarly significant. It was Borah wiio was largely Instrumental in checking the anti-Hoover revoit at Kansas City in those anxious days when it appeared a revolt might get somewhere. It was Borah that th Republicans put on Al Smith's trail, from the Atlantic to the Rockies. It was Borah who persuaded Mr.

Hoover to call Congress into special sessior. The Idahoan has slipped in and out of the, White House since March 1 last almost at will. Now he is in apparently open revolt, and his attacks on the Hoover enforcement record are the most spectacular and the most embarrassing that any administration has had to face in the entire decade of constitutional piohibition. The politically minded have not forgotten that, although Senator Borah has always been a dry, his real and deep personal interest in prohibition is of comparatively recent origin. It was not until Calvin Coolidge had given voice to his famous "I do not choose to run" that Borah took to the public platform as a first-water champion of Volsteadism.

At that time, the political railbirds in Washington thought the Idahoan was starting his campaign for the presidential nomination on the dry issue. He even addressed an open letter to Mr. Hoover demanding to know where he stood on prohibition which resulted in the now famous Hoover rejoinder that prohibition is "a noble experiment that must be worked "out constructively." In the end, the Hoover tide, already running strongly, proved too strong to combat, so Borah rode with tho tide. Now, Borah is again raising the issue, and there are many, who believe his eyes at fixed on some goal in the misty political future. i Local Happenings William McCoy and daughter, Zelma, of Hickory, were business callers in town today.

Fold in three stiffly-beaten egg whites. Pour into tart tins or pie tin lined with pastry. Bake, having oven hot at first, then moderate. For Marmalade-Pumpkin Tarts, put a spoonful of orange marmalade in the bottom of pastry-lined tart tins, fill with the pumpkin filling and bake as usual.

Considerable research has been carried on in this country and abroad toward the development of uses for beryllium, but the use of the metal is still in the experimental state. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics is planning to arrange for tests of beryllium for use in airplane construction. Beryllium has been used in this country and abroad in X-ray apparatus.

Another use which may grow considerably is for electrodes in con nection with neon signs. Quickly Believed Don't suffer with Dandruff, Pimple Blemishet and other annoying skin irri-ttdons.

First the pumpkin had to be opened and the seeds removed; then it had to be cut in sections and pard; next came the steaming and then the And only by that time was the housewife ready to start on the making of her pumpkin pie proper. Today all that is changed, for commercial firms have taken over the arduous work of preparing pumpkin and have put up the fluffy pulp in gold enamel lined cans which preserve the vegetable's rich orange color. A Basic Pumpkin Pie Recipe Because this advance has made it so simple to make pumpkin pies, several new varieties have been developed by dietitians.

For instance, here is a basic pumpkin pie recipe which can be varied in many ways; U. S. Hopes For Cheap Way To Get Beryllium WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (INS The commercial application of beryllium, a metal which has been the object of recent widespread interest, is definitely limited until such time as the cost of extraction, now almost prohibitively high, can be reduced, according to the United States Bureau of Mines.

Beryllium is quoted in this country at $200.00 per pound and shipments are made chiefly from small stocks manufactured in 1927 or earlier. As in all metallurgical operations, the production of the metal on a laboratory or semi-commercial scale ia much more costly than it would be in large lots. The metal could be manufactured at greatly reduced costs with the market absorbing appreciable tonnages annually. Beryllium, or glucinum, as it is also called, is often listed as a rare element, though it probably is more abundant in the earth's crust than many of the minor metals that are ordinarily considered rather common, according to the Bureau of Mines. It is not a new metal, for it has been known for more than a hundred yeaYs, 1 but even yet it has not been put to work commercially except to an ex- tremely limited extent.

Since berylli- urn is very light and exceptionally hard and strong, many believe that it is destined to share with magnesium and aluminum in the fast-growing demands for light metals to be used in the construction of aircraft. The mineral beryl, which seldom contains more than about 5 per cent of the element, is tho only recognized ore of beryllium. It is a common accessory in pegmatite veins and is also found in clay state and mica schist, but hitherto only the gem varieties, including emerald and aquamarine, have been actively sought. In several localities, however, ordinary beryl is produced as a by-product in mining mica and feldspar, and often beryl has accumulated on the dumps because no buyer could be found. Only within the last two or three years has there been an active demand for the mineral, even in ton Franklin A'Qrade Furniture Peacock Bros.
