Songs by the Lawson sisters and comedy by that funster, Elmer Waltnian, as well as songs by George Held featured last night's performances.

Altoona own Weston Sisters, whose radio rise In the "Smoky City has truly been phenomenal will highlight this evening's enter tainment at tha. mosque with a bevy of popular songs, sung as only they sing them. The fact that they are Altoona girls plus their lilting voices will be one of the chief attractions for Altoonans.

E- Frey. except among very wealthy persons with slightly Euro-peanized ideas, and they do a little duck shooting. The average Japanese man knows nothing about a gun and never has handled one, unless he has been in the army or has been a reservist. THAT may account for the statement of a military observer at Shanghai who remarked that he didn't see "how the Japanese and Chinese could miss so often. I have watched Japanese and Chinese maneuvers carefully, and I feel that the regiment of U.S.

marines or his majesty's Ulster Rif.es now in Shanghai could attack so coldly and methodically and with such efficient marksmanship that they could engage fairly at least a brigade from the army of either of the belligerents." ANTON Verde, who is a student of criminology, says, "America makes much fuss about her gunmen. In a great continental nation like that, the press gives great headlines to some lone gunman, and the police take after him In droves. In Europe, they do not fear gunmen. They fear the deadly killer who prefers the knife, and who strikes in the dark. Where else but in America, that land of sportsmen and gun lovers, would you read of a dentist who shoots two bandits from his office window with a sporting gun? "AND yet, in America, they are doing everything they can to make it hard for this people, whose earliest history is connected with firearms, to have them.

Their laws affect such law-abiding citiiens as this dentist, who stopped two bandits before police could arrive. What have bandits to do with laws? They can get gunsmiths who will make their own game. Or, they can do as bandits and criminals prefer to do in Europe they can use a knife. I can assure you that a thin knife is just as deadly as a gun, and it has this to commend it, it Is easily carried and It makes no noise." Pennsylvania Receives Compensation Grant Pennsylvania has received a federal grant of $51,81307 for administration of its unemployment cumpensauon system, tne grant being one of five received by Ave states amounting to $423,870.61, ac- coraing to an official notification received by the Altoona branch of the social security board in the Commerce building, Munsey S. Gieaton, manager.

The fund ig to cover operating costs of the state's unemployment compensation agency and is a supplementary allotment covering expenditures from Sept. 1 to Sept 30 in connection with merit examinations for selection of personnel in the state's unemployment compensation agency. The Pennsylvania division of unemployment compensation and employment service is administer- science. The turkey was af for ten minutes. THE hunter eased his gun down, watching that turkey so intensely his eyes must have burned.

Some time later he breathed. Five minutes of nine! HE began to get ready. It would take him five minutes to get his gun up without scaring the turkey. Then began the slow, laborious process of lifting the gun, breathing between lift. He glanced at his wrist watch.

Couple minutea to go. His gun was nearing his shoulder, and the turkey was pecking away unconcerned ly. AND then it happened. Some fool came tearing through the woods, yelling like an idiot at a couple of hounds. The hunter stood paralysed with horror.

They couldn't do this to him! Why it was only three minutes of n-'ne! And while he stared in sickening dismay, the turkey lifted it head, took one look, and then took off. AND what made things worse, the hunter was so mad he went home and told about it. STAXniXG ARMY CONSTANTLY, and especially in recent months, there have been increasing demands from various quarters for a larger standing army for the United States, Opposition has come, besides from the pacifists, from some economists who point out that it is not necessary considering Americas continental position. We are not, they point out. In the precarious position of Europe, where every country may be reached from any part of the continent almost overnight.

BIT a new angle was presented some time ago when a visting Japanese army officer remarked that America probably could summon a volunteer amiy of fairly efficient gunners within a few weeks. HE pointed to the Americans' natural love of hunting and their familiarity with guns as evidence that it wouldn't take long to send a capable army into action. The prevalence of veterans' and patriotic organisations and their rifle and pistol teams was mentioned also by the visitor, and he spoke, too. of the national guard and the interest displayed in it. HUNTING is not a popular pastime among the Japanese.

In fact, they have none of it. DEMY SATURDAY Sitnek's Drug Stores Will Give $1.00 Worth of Medicine To Each Family In Response To This Ad.

Mr. Herpolshimer compli mented the dealers for their abilities displayed in recent years and had high praise for the type of dealer selling Graham cars. Mr. Kunkle expressed his enthusiasm about the new car and he said that although the lines are more modern, the new model has "nothing experimental under the hood." Mr.

Craig who attended the recent automobile show in New York declared, "the Graham car stole the show in New York." He also complimented the dealers and did not mine words in praising the new model. He is a representative of the C. I. T. The chief speakers was the eastern sales manager, Mr.

Wright, who brought, greetings from the Graham company heads. He classed the Graham as the "rich man's luxury for a low-priced pocketbook."

"The Graham has what the others will have In the future," he asserted, telling the dealera of how the new 19SS model attracted leading engineers from other companies when It was placed on display at the National show.

ALWAYS Frankfort DUtfllarto. lac- R. LETTER OF THE LAW TYRONE hunters have found living proof that Ir. John R. Onley was wrong when he said, "We are a nation of law- breakers.

Our statute booka are so cluttered up with trivial, silly laws that run the gamut from prohibiting driving a nail on Sunday to spitting in the street that no m.n or woman can go through a day without some sort of law violation." THE Tyrone cimrods have discovered a man who represents 'he height of law observance, and who, at the same time, illustrates to what extremes of self-control the human nature can go. MONDAY morning, he was out in the woods, all loaded and ready to go some time before the legal shooting hour of 9 a. m. And then, at ten minutes of 9, some perversity of fat or downright of circumstances, guided a big turkey gobbler his way. IT'S to say that, since he was an ardent hunter, he had an attack of chills, followed by a period gulping as he watched the big turkey nonchalantly walk within a few yards of him then stop and begin scratching.

THE hunter raised his gun. but no! Ten minutes yet till 9 o'clock, and he knew, worse luck, that he had the right time. No compromise with con- NOTICE!
