BOOKS
Two hundred million tiooks were nought tty readers in the United States Isst year Another 200.000,000, proh¬ ahly, were read by personi who bor- rowed them from public and private jciidiac libraries. That means that the average American reads about three books a year. That is not very many buoks.
Oae reason is that books are not easy to buy or borrow in int>at parts of the United States. The American Library Association reports that 83 percent of the rural population has no public library service. Unly a very few cities have book stores— plaees where books arc the principal cnflMNodity sold. Enterprising pub¬ lishers are now pushing tlie safe of books in drugstores, cigar stores and railroad stations.
We read more newspapers and iMcasines than any other nation, and Ihat is all to the good. But nobody csn claiffl to be educated, or get the most out of  life, unless he or  she
llto reads books.

PRESSURE
One of the greatest discoveries of Kicnce is that if you squeese anything hard enough it will change into some¬ thing else. If you ptit two or thret tkiags iato one pressure-chamber and ipply suiScisnt pressure they will com- bwe into saawtaing new.
Aaplyific this. Dr. Friedrich Bergius 9{ Gcnaany diKovered that you can
S 100)4 gallons of casoline out of I gallons of crude oil I You simply pot the oi^ into a pressure chamber in company with a quantity of heated hydroccn ca* '"d apply a pressure of 1,000 poaiMS to the square inch. The itydrocen combines with the oil and you get more gasoline out than you pat oil in.
Too much hydrogen in gasoline :ausrs knocking in the combustion chantber of your automobile engine. Another new application of pressure is the "gasoline wringer," which iquetses exerts hvdrocen out of gaso- liaa. Dim reason for the lower price of gaaoMne most everywiiere is the adop- Uoa of tliase and other aew scientific lisooveries by the bia oil caai9anies.

When the supply give< I'lit, as it will in time, Professor A. M. Buf well of the University of lllinui!. s.ig- gcitt that farmers ali)ng the routes of the pipe lines can ni.iiiuf acture metli.uie from farm wastes and pump it inlo the pipes. He has exiwrimented with certain bacteria which turn everything into methane. He has fed thtm corn •talks, soy beans, bean viiv:s, straw wd eiKelsior and they turn it all intu natural gas.
The difficulty with utiliring farm waste in industry is the expense of transporting the waste to a central factory. If every farm could have its own natural gas plant, that difTiculty would be eliminated. •   •   *
SAFETY
One reason why flyers like Lind¬ bergh, Coste and Byrd are acclaimed Si  heroes  ii because  everybody  ap-
Rreciates the risk they ran in their litofical flights. When we think ot their feats we think of the pilots, not of the planes.
The Graf Zeppelin has flown •round the worhl, crossed the .¦\t- lantic four times without mishap. The R-lOO, Britisli dirigible, was the first •ircraft of any kind to cross the ocean, eleven years ago. The R-lOl recently voyaRed from Ennland to Canada and hark. Our own Los Angeles cruises al! over the Ameri¬ can hemisphere. Kohudy remembers the names of the pilots of these •liipi; we think of the ship, not the man.
The reason is that we sense the imniensely greater safety of the dirigible. The htter's passengers snd crew can hardly he said to le riskin^i their lives at all. The inii'ort- lint air travel of the future will he done by dirigible rathtr than by plane.

FORMER NAZARENE      i ARRESTED FOR BROAD ST. THEATRE HOLD-UP
Charles "Spurg" Welty Shot While Attempting Es¬ cape Frotn County Authorities at Suspect's Home In So. Easton; Community Again at Ease as Dangerous Character Takes An¬ other '*Rap** After Speedy Trial
The Heavy Training Season Is On
By Albert T. Reid
Charles Spurgeon Welty, 39 years old, formerly of town, charged with the hold-up of the Broad Street theatre here on the night of July 2 last, and for whom the county auth¬ orities have been searching ever since, was captured last week In Easton, but he had to be shot before he was taken Into custody. We was living on the South Side, Easton, with hia wife and three children.
On several occasions, Welty was seen, but he would always get away before the authorities could be noti¬ fied.   This time, however, some one saw him go Into the home.   County Detective Oeorge J. Ryan was noti¬ fied and he. accompanied by Con¬ stable R. Raymond Ryan. Arch Mil¬ ler and C. T. Stem, hurried to the house and surrounded It.   They all| went well armed, for Welty has the, reputation of being dangerous.   De- > tective Ryan went to the back of the' house, and Raymond Ryan went up! on the front porch, the others taking; other vantage polnte.   When Ray-! mond Ryan mounted the steps he saw Welty sitting In one corner of, the front room and levelling his 30- ] 30 rifle at him. ordered him to throw up his hands. I
Welty gave a leap and went to the back of the house and out of the ^ back door. Detective Ryan, at some, distance In back, saw him come out; and fired but missed. The other, ofllcers In the meantime had run to the back of the house, firing as they ran. |
Welty headed for the Jea-lsh cem¬ etery nearby, and It was almost Im¬ possible to see him in the darkness. However, Raymond Ryan got a glimpse of him as he ran, raised his rifle and fired. There was a yell ol pain, and Welty pitched forward, shouting to the ofllcers to stop fir¬ ing. He was ordered to throw up his hands, a flash light was turned on him and he was quickly handcuffed. It was seen that his left arm was hurt and he was taken to Easton
hospital, where It was found that a rifle bullet had Inflicted a Resh wound near the elbow aud had nip¬ ped the "crazy bone." Welty was very meek and mild after he receiv¬ ed his wound.
After treatment he was taken back to Easton city hall, where he was fingerprinted and was then co.-n- mitted to the county prison on a commitment Issued by Alderinan Caflin.
The Identification of Welty as the probable hold-up man who staged the crime at the theatre was made possible by the good description of the bandit given to the authorities by Mlss Victoria Stannard. n-year- old cashier, whom he robbed. Ju.?t as Mlss Stannard was stepping out of her ticket booth, carrying the cash box containing the receipts amounting to $89.90, a man who had been hanging around the theatre en¬ trance stepped up to her, shoved a bluesteel revolver against her ribs dc demanded the money. She reached Inside the booth: ostensibly to get her handkerchief, but at the same time she pressed a button which summoned help from Inside the theatre. This delayed the bandit In getting the money and she had a good look at him, definitely recogn¬ izing him as the man who had been hanging around. Before help could come out of the theatre, the man had grabbed the box, darted through an alley and got away.
After getting hts description from Mlss Stannard and several other people who had seen him about the place, where he said he was waiting for his sister, the detectives were sure that Welty was the man they wanted. They found that he had been hanging out In the woods north of Nazareth and time after time they lay In wait there throughout the night but he apparently alvays spotted them and got away.
Welty has a criminal record ex¬ tending over the past 22 yeais.
Dedication of Orchestra Shell at Hecktown Sunday; Fine Program Presented
Splendid pre-autumn weather on Sunday afternoon brought forth an: over-flowing crowd to the dedication services of the orchestra shell erect¬ ed in the church grove of the Dry-, land Union church for the Sunday, school   of   the   congregation.   The services were In charge of both pas- tors of the church. |
The following program was ren-; dered: Singing "America"; prayer. Rev. C. A. Butz; presentation. Wayne Nagle: acceptaiice. Rev. j. A. Klick. president Joint church body: remarks, Rev. C. A, Butz; closing prayer. Rev. J. A. Kllck, and the singing of the doxology. |

tion"—reverie by Morrison; "The Commodore"—cornet solo by Cham¬ bers. Bobble Lahr: "Poet and Peas¬ ant"—overture by Von Suppe; "Ves¬ per Bells"—reverie by Clark; "Re¬ cessional"—grand chorus by OeKo- ven; "National Emblem"—march by Bagley. and "The Star Spangled Banner."
Under the supervision of Charles Fehnel and Wayne Nogle. the Sun¬ day school orchestra and Its many co-workers made the erection of the beautiful shell possible. The don¬ ations of money, material and laiior. amounting to over $500, enabled them to place the first shell of this kind In any church grove.

Wayne Nagle; president, Mildred Hahn: seeretarv, Pearl Lahr and treasurer, Hester Keck.
