By the first of November, Cowden said, approximately. 110,000 square yards will have been laid which is just about the amount laid in 1908 when the city was in the midst of a street paving boom. Samples of all paving laid this year were put through laboratory tests before the material was put down, this being the first year such tests were made.

Cowden's statement. TREE POSTERS TO BE REM LaVge red posters, advertising the Harrisburg Fair, and tied around the trunks of trees on many streets of the city, will be taken down by noon tomorrow, so Ehr-man B. Mitchell, president of the fair association, promised Henderson Gilbert, chairman of the city shade tree. commission today. Mitchell said the posters were put up without his knowledge or consent and Mayor Hoverter informed the shade tree body that his department had not granted a permit.

Such posting is in violation of. a city ordinance and the State laws. The fair association said the posters were put up by the Harrisburg News Agency, which has that part of the fair's adver-' tising contract. The matter came to the Shade Tree Commission on complaints from individual property owners on North Sixth, Second and Front streets. One of the complainants was a shoe repairman, who just a year ago was required to remove an advertising sign from the tree in front of his i'Aif fix I YNJw.

The first registration day for the coming primary and municipal election was marked by a light turnout of prospective voters had feverish activity of organization and independent Republican workers in various wards. Supporters of J.

Hampton Moore, former mayor, who is opposing Harry Mackey, Vare candidate for the mayoralty nomination were busy in the independent wards of North and West Philadelphia, while the organization henchmen were attempting to turn out a large registration in the Vare stronghold of South Philadelphia.

Striebel's "Kids" By J. H. 8TRIEBEL Josephine Noble Gardner as she looked In the garb of an institutional ward.

LINCOLN, 111., Aug. 80, For all of the 18 years of her life Josephine Noble Gardner, fully normal in mind and body, has lived in the state home for backward children here. Surrounded by pitiful youngsters with stunted brains and, twisted bodies, knowing that she was not as as they were and yearning hopelessly for a home and a mother, Josephine grew up to young womanhood like a modern Cinderella, condemned to a drab, chimney-corner existence. But now after 18 years she is going home. Mother Is Found The mother of whom she had kdreamed for so long is coming to claim her.

Rich gowns, fur coats and silk stockings are going to replace the plain frocks of the state home. All that she has missed is going to be hers, for the rest of her life. On a transcontinental train speeding east from Los Angeles is the mother Mrs. Winifred Herzog, who has just learned that the daughter she had mourned as dead for eighteen years is alive and well, waiting to rejoin her. WORLD FLIERS END THIRD LEG From Page One route for they were to pass over Fienna, Budapest and Belgrade.

Before starting Brock and Schlee inquired about the landing fields at Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia and Adrianople. However, they were determined to follow the Danube from Vienna to Budapest and reach Constantinople within twelve hours at the most. Weather reports indicated Ideal flying conditions all th way, northwest winds favoring the flight. Today's journey is the third leg of their flight around the world. Brock and Schlee started from Harbor Grace, N.

Saturday morning, arrived at Croydon, England, Sunday morning, left there yesterday morning and arrived at Munich yesterday at 4 p. m. Because of the difference in time, the fliers should reach Constantinople shortly after noon, eastern standard time and if they do they will have completed more than one-eixth of their proposed flight in a few hours more than three days after they left America. The distance from Harbor Grace to Croydon was 2350 miles to Munich 580 miles and to Constantinople 1000, making a total distance to date of 4030 miles. The International 'kew Service SUNBURY, Aug.

30. A faithful collie dog today was credited with saving the lives of Marie, 3, and Janie Walter, 4, Irom drowning in the Susquehanna river, or serious illness as a result of exposure. The collie was reported to have seen the two children adrift in a boat on the river and, displaying almost fictional intelligence, went after the stranded pair. The dog managed to pick up the boat chain in his jaws. He was said to have struggled valiantly the boat swept a mile farther down the, stream, before the animal finally managed to tow the boat to shore.

MAY BE FIRST TO GET AWAY From Page One killed in the riot battle that followed. These two State policemen were shot during rioting at McKee's Rocks. Thirty-two arrests were made and an unknown number of foreigners killed by State police who went to their comrades rescue. No one was charged with murder for the double tragedy. Other Killings Recalled The force was just about a year old when the first double killing among its members occurred.

That was at New Florence, Jefferson County, where Privates J. W. Henry and F. A. Zehringer were shot from the windows of a house that lawbreakers had barricaded.

The State police dynamited the house and the assailants and others were killed. Private Timothy Kellehcr was fatally stabbed by Salvatore Car-rito and Stephano Porcello in a fight in Berks County, September, 1907.. Carrito was hanged and Porcello was convicted, of manslaughter. From the time of the McKees Rocks murders in 1909, there was no murder of a trooper until April, 1918, when Private Andrew Czap was killed in Indiana County by Tony Curato, who was later caught and convicted of second-degree murder. He wa3 sentenced to nineteen to twenty years in the Western Penitentiary for this crime and was also given an additional nine to ten years for highway robbery.

That was the original offense against the law that led to the murder. Murder of Private Haley John F. Dargus, another Pennsylvania trooper, met death in Ohio after a long chase of Walter Richardson, a negro, wanted for a minor crime. Two months later Richardson was found in Maben, and was taken back to Ohio where he was convicted of first-degree murder and electrocuted. Private Francis L.

Haley was shot to death on the Lincoln Highway, at Graeffenburg, by Philip A. Hartman, who had robbed the Ab-bottstown Bank in Adams County in October, 1924. Haley, on a motorcycle, tried to stop Hartman, who was in an automobile and fired before the trooper knew his identity. Hartman abandoned his machine in the South Mountains and went to Reading, where he was later caught. He was convicted and electrocuted.

That is the outline of one of the most amazing stories ever unearthed in the history of Illinois' charitable institutions." Eighteen years ago Mrs.

Herzog was Winifred Noble, a young girl living in McLean, 111. There she was married a youth- total estimated distance of their flight around the world is 22,067 miles. "We are already ahead of our schedule," Schlee said before they left Munich. He said the total cost of the flight around the world would be about The Pride of Detroit was fueled late yesterday for today's flight, so that no time would be lost in getting away. Brock supervised the refueling, after which both he and Schlee studied air maps, which were none too easy for them because of their unfamiliarity with meters, kilograms and other measures and weights of the metric system.

The fliers are relying largely on their compass ana, unlike Byrd and Noville and the German fliers, are able to carry on a running conversation while flying without resorting to an exchange of notes. Schlee carried out the spirit of the place by dining on sauer kraut last night. Both went to bed early and appeared to be in finest fettle when they arrived at the field this morning to take off for Constantinople. ACCUSED OF NON-SUPPORT Boyd M. Ogelsby, of 226 Seneca street, waived a preliminary hearing before Alderman W.

L. Windsor, this morning, on a charge of non-support, and furnished $300 bail for court. Mrs. Ogelsby brought the information against him yesterday, according to the magistrate's records. and a girl were injured, one seriously.

Labor had asked a price of $1.84 while farmers demanded $2.50. follows: "There have been completed twenty-four sections of streets, including 58,000 square yards of streets surface ana seven and one-half miles of curbing. There are ten additional streets on which the curbing is in place and ready for the concrete and top. Curbing is now being placed on Front street. The curbing has not been started as yet on Jonestown road or Second street north of the Academy.

It appears as of this date that the additional curbing to be laid will be done long before the concrete and top can cover the streets already curbed. "There are also twelve alleys and one street to be laid with concrete, which includes about a six weeks' program. Considering the present status of the work, we should finish by November 1, approximately 110,000 square yards of surface which will be the largest street paving program finished in one year since 1908, during which year about the same amount of street paving, exclusive of Har-risburg Railways work, was completed.

SO. Onward sweeps the wave of youthful champions through the realms of golf, tennis, movies and trans-Atlantic aerial flip-flops, and now the majesty and dignity of chess bows to the imperial sway of a winsome lass just .21 years old. Miss Vera Menchik became the world's first chess champion after strenuous competition at the international play which closed here recently. She won her7 first game of chess at Moscow when she was only 9 years old, but she has lived in Hastings, England, for the last six years. Her mother is English and her father Czecho-Slovakian, but Miss Menchik spent the earlier years of her life in Russia.

Commenting on her early attempts in the realm of chess, Miss Menchik said: "Papa plays chess well and taught me much, but he is not a champion. My first big chess I played at the open tournaments at llartings. In this tournament just finished I was confident I would become champion. I am very glad. "I was in Russia at the time of the revolution, but I do not want to say very much about it.

Like many more, we had unpleasant times. Papa owned a mill there. He no longer has it. "I do not live and dream chess. That would be too fixed.

It Is nice to turn to tennis, and I spend a lot of time modelling with clay." Miss Menchik's chess instructor at Hastings was Maroczy, the Hungarian master. PLAN PHOTO OF SUN IN DAYLIGHT LONDON, Aug. 30. Whether or not the corona of the sun can be photographed in ordinary daylight is the problem which Dr. W.

H. Stevenson, president of the British Astronomical Association, has set himself to unraVel. Since discovering during the recent eclipse of the sun in England that he was able to see the mysterious flaming corona for over three minutes after totality had ended, Doctor Steavenson has given the problem hi whole attention. He now proposes to take his instruments to the summit of a 10,000 feet high mountain at a point near the Italo-Swiss frontier, and attempt to photograph the corona and of the sun itself, so far a virtual closed book to man. Doctor Steavenson is of the opinion that, in clear air-t an altitude of 10,000 feet, when the sun is high in the sky, the lowermost and brightest part of the corona should be able to be photographed if certain precautions are taken.

He will use a circular disc, which will shield the plate from the sun's actual image, and he will reduce the diffuse skylight by the use of colored light discs or Biters. Further he will reduce to minimum the diffusion of light as it passes through hit photographic apparatus by employing a simple spectacle lens instead of- a complicated photographic lens, and plain glass surfaces instead of sifvered-glass mirrors. GIR Josephine as she looks now, in her gay new clothes and with her hair marcelled. ful, possibly ill-advised romance that met with much opposition from her father. And so, when Winifred Noble gave birth to a little girl, her father vowed that the child would never be raised in his home.

At first, when the young mothei begged to be allowed to see her baby, Bhe was tald by her nurse to "ask your father." Then, when she was able to get up, she was tfold that the baby had died. Couldn't Trace Her Winifred's father had had the child taken away and put in the care of a family living in Williamson County. Shortly after this was done he-Winifred's father died, and the mother's only chance at tracing her baby was lost. Little Josephine spent her early childhood as a ward of the Williamson County family. Then she was sent here to become a ward of the Lincoln State School and Colony.

Although this is a home for children mentally or physically deficient, some horrible mistake placed Josephine, a fully normal child, in it and here she stayed, until social worker located her mother.

The national prohibition body today undertook to remove two persistent "sore spots" in its enforcement system one at Detroit, the other in the Pacific Northwest In the first instance, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Low-man announced that a veritable little army of 400 men and perhaps later 600 will be swung Into the Detroit sector to aid the campaign against Canadian liquor which recently has flowed into the States via the Detroit River. He also announced that he ha Roy C. Lyle, prohibition administrator for Washington, Oregon and Alaska under examination to get an explanation for unsatisfactory enforcement conditions in that region. Reports that liquor i coming copiously over the border into Lyle's area, couplied with reports of serious agent scandal? there, caused him to bring Lyl here "on the carpet."

were revived here today that Paul Redfern, mis.sing, Georgia-to-Brazil solo flier, may still be alive, Government and municipal authorities continued their efforts to verify a report reaching Para from Caracas that a plane resembling the Port of Brunswick, in which Redfern hoped to be the first man to make a non-stop flight from the United States to Brazil, had been sighted over the Bay de L'Oyapok, about 100 miles from the northern Brazilian border. Another unconfirmed report ha been received here that Redfern's plane was sichted over the delta of the Orinoco River. In an effort to determine the authenticity of these reports, the National Telegraph Bureau has queried its stations in Venezuela and Guiana, and definite word was anxiously awaited today. Redfern is long overdue. Some observers expressed the belief th missing aviator may have been forced to land at pome isolated pot in the Brazilian jungle, and is slowly treking his way toward civilization.

STRIKES HERE AND THERE IN1 CENTBALPENNSm? THE REV. CHARLES FRANK WEISE (PORT ROYAL) Tfie streets above are paved with gold, a' strong tradition states, while jasper furbishes the walls and peart adorns the gates. The inferences thus derived some clergymen dismiss. In present poverty they seek for future wealth and bliss. But Charles Frank Weise quite well applies the logic straight and clear, to hold that value over there is dross and trouble here.

He served the church as clergyman for thirty years M. E. He saved the eagle silver bird so many men set free. In Nineteen Twelve, by virtue of developed fiscal rank, he organized for earthly ends the thrifty Three Springs bank, and later at Port Royal took those letters as his pal which spell, assembled side by side, the words "First National." He learned telegraphy when young, taught school some years as well, then started helping wreck the trains that run from here to hell; and though the road still operates as swiftly as it may, it's said the other terminal is smitten with decay. He's in a flock of lodges, this and that and here and there with sixty summers playing salt and pepper with his hair.
