The possibility, disclosed Saturday by a Shamokln law firm, was repeated by the Rev.

S. E. Heisey, superintendent of the Burd Memorial home who promised "more details tomorrow." Mr. Heisey quoted Mrs. Hoover as saying she was the sister of Mrs.

Floranda Clark, who died in Iowa, leaving $300,000. Mrs. Hoover ran away from home when she was a little girl," Mr. Heisey said. "She came to Northumberland county and lived here until her husband died 10 years ago and then she entered the Burd home." Mr.

Heisey said if Mrs. Hoover's claim was substantiated, the home would get the inheritance under the terms of an agreement she signed on entering as a guest. "I have some Information but am in no position to give out details. I'll do so tomorrow. This is Sunday and we won't do anything on Sunday, the day of rest.

"Mrs. Hoover was only a little excited, she said, when we were told of the possibility. She was with me in my office when the lawyers spoke of It. Christmas Seal Sale Quarters Open Christmas Seal Sale headquarters of the Blair County Tuberculosis and Health society opened late last week with two additional rooms in the Commerce building to prepare for the 30th annual seal sale, officers of the society announced yesterday. Volunteer and other workers at the headquarters are busy now preparing envelopes containing Christmas seals and Health bonds for delivery to 9,000 Blair county homes beginning Thanksgiving day, officers disclosed in announcing opening of the headquarters.

Valuable assistance In preparations for the sale has been volunteered by the pupils of the sixth and seventh grades of the Eldorado school, who have folded one million five hundred thousand seals in sheets of 100 each for the sale, officials announced. "It is expected that this will be a record Seal Sale since the work of the Blair County Tuberculosis and Health society is so well known, and since the society has done so much to protect Blair county residents from the spread of infection by detecting cases soon enough to help," said Tarring S. Davis, president, last night. "The work is financed entirely by the sale of these Christmas seals, and no support is received from any other source," he said.

Pupils of the Hopewell schools aided in the program by singing beautifully several patriotic songs.

Phone 4251 -By R. W. B. HIGH ADVENTURE THERE'S an 1 ying sameness to life that cannot be denied; In the essential the things people say, and think and do. But life has a broader scope in which i some people are fortunate enough to share.

1 SOME philosophers have said the best way to enjoy "life, and the way by which lone can get most from it, is play it as a to look upon it as high adventure. BUT then, there's high ad-. venture. high adventure. Compare the life of President Roosevelt with that of a clerk and the life of an average 2 housewife with that of one of the top ranking movie ac-" tresses.

LIFE undoubtedly is difficult at times for President Roose- velt, now en route to South America on a navy cruiser. But whatever else it might lack, it certainly could not be said to lack high adventure, and for the actress, glamor, the acclaim of millions, and perhaps their envy, wealth, ambitions fulfilled, variety, novelty. IT is the President, the movie heroine and the rich man, who discover that high adventure, like pain and happiness, is a comparative term. ABOUT PROSPERITY "SAY," said a voice over the telephone to the Tribune newsroom, "cut out those prosperity stories, will you? They're raisin' prices, but I ain't seen no raise in salary yet. They always raise wages in a part of the country I ain't in.

I can't see no logic in raisin' wages in Pittsburg and prices in Altoona." 'CRUELTY THE divorce courts have given various shades of meaning to certain heretofore simple for instance, "cruelty." Says Ivan Onski, a young Russian visitor, "When I see in the papers 'Woman charges cruelty; gets divorce' I wonder very much, for I have heard how kindly and how foolish are Americans toward their women. And it was hard for me to conceive of an American husband beating his wife, or maybe pullinj? her about by the hair, as I imagined from reading the newspaper piece. But then I read on, and I find where it says, charges cruelty because husband would not talk to her until after How silly! If I had not read it my-. self. I should think it had been In the funny papers." BUT it seems there's a judge in California who believes a little more in sticking to facts.

Superior William F. James, at San Jose, ruled that it Is not crueltv for a husband to force his wife to live with her mother-in-law if the latter is an agreeable person and the home is "one of luxury and refinement." OF course, probably even the judge would admit there's considerable hinges on that word "agreeable."
