NOTHING DONE TO GET TREES. High School May Not Have Line Shade-Makers. The movement to have. a line shade trees placed along the Sixth avenue side of the Altoona high school seems to have been balked for the present. At a school board meeting a couple of months ago preliminary arrangements were made look into the advisability of cutting off part of the sidewalk on the Sixth avenue side.

Nothing has been done along this line. As the sidewalk was to have been cut off while the paving operations were in progress along Sixth avenue, the movement seems have balked for the present. It is expected, however, that the pavement will be cut off next spring, as all that is needed to make the local high school one of Pennsylvania's most beautiful spots rounding big structure. shade handsome row of shade troos, surtrees be made to grow there without trouble if sufficient ground exposed to give them the proper amount of moisture.

The affair was opened with a number of musical selections which displayed the talent of the crowd.

Next in turn was the prize hunting, by which each person was given a slip giving the secret location of the prize, and after searching from attic to cellar all were located and displayed which, to the amazement of all present, were found to be nothing less than vegetables, including the "lemon." Other games were also indulged in and last but not least was the apple-ducking contest, which was successfully won by Roy Wolfe, who upon second gaze upon the article, found that he had captured an onion instead of an apple. His effort was very "strong." Luncheon was then order which included all good things appropriate to an Hallowe'en event.

H. S. Seniors Will Have to Get Dispensation to Organize Before New Year's. No class organizations have been formed in the Altoona high school yet and none will be tolerated except that of the seniors, who are allowed to organize after New Year's of each term in order to facilitate the rangements for the commencement and the issuing of invitations, for that affair. If the seniors would want to organize before January 1, they would have to obtain a special dispensation from the school board.

The seniors last year were allowed to organize before New Year's, the class having had an excellent record in its career in school. The classes that were in the Altoona high school in the trouble-making days are now about passed and the school is opa of the best disciplined in the state in this manner. Exceedingly strong regulations are in force to prevent an outbreak of the rowdy. ism that once disgusted the city. The senior class organization is permitted only under stringent restrictions and class colors are absolutely forbidden.

The class must use the I school colors in its displays and even these colors must be shown only under permission. MEDICAL INSPECTION. Local Schools Still Delayed by Slowness of State Officials. Medical inspection in the local schools is still delayed by the slowness of the state health department in getting out the blanks setting forth the duties of the new medical inspectors. As no progress has been made so far this term, it is now the general impression locally that medical inspector cannot be established this year and will have to be let go over until next term.

The new school code, which declares that medical inspection must be given, says that if the local school boards do not appoint the inspectors within thirty days after the opening of the term, the state commissioner of health will have to attend to the duty. The local authorities, instead of having to be told their duty by the state commissioner, are held, up by him. ASPHALT PLANT REPAIRED. The Elder Company Will Resume Operation on Eighth Avenue Today.

With. favorable weather from this time on the company will make good headway on the thoroughfare and hope to complete in the course of the next two weeks, "Bay Window" LENSES A man said to us the other day: "Looking out of my TORIC Lenses is just like looking out of a bay window compared with an ordinary flat window."
