Of tbe 628 grade crossing accidents involving automobiles, 364 occurred at unprotected crossings and 264 at protec- ed crossings. Ninety-three per cent of - all those killed and injured, at crossings during the 12-month period were occupants of automobiles, 47 riders being killed and 840 were injured. Of this number 35 were killed and 818 injured at unprotected crossings. Sixteen pedestrians were killed and 18 injured during tte period. One person was injured in tbe four crossing accidents involving wagons. In the 64 Sunday grade cross- lag accidents involving pleasure cue, 16 persons were killed and 37 injured. In 136 accidents automobiles were driven into the side of the engine or train moving over crossings and in 41 accidents they were driven into the tide of the engine or train standing on a crossing. The casualties in these accidents were 11 killed and 107 injured and three killed and 32 injured, respectively. Eight automobiles were driven through lowered crossing gates. Six persons were injured.

' — congressional honors, Don Gingery, present incumbent, ia ta the field fer re-election, while his opponent is Major Benjamin C. Jones, of Tyrone, Republican. It hi ssid in well informed quarters that Jones has the edge on Gingery and will likely be elected by a safe majority. Locally, leaders in both major parties have been working diligently aad are leaving no stones unturned. Voters in the borough living on the south side of the Pennsylvania railroad will cast tiieir ballots in the firemen's quarters in the public building, while those residing on the north side of tiie Pennsylvania railroad, will go to the Hescox's garage on Tuckahoe street, where they will vote. There are almost fifteen hundred voters in Bellwood, with a like number in the two voting precincts in Antis township. Owing to it being a presidential election the majority of the voters here, as well as well as elsewhere, will most likely attend the polls', as they should. A big vote is anticipated in the borough, and from present indications it will be a record-breaker. Total claims filed by the rel: ffice amount to $6,334 and o amount $2,860 has hash co! and fifty clients are still payi claims as their circumstances mit. In eases of absolute fraud the county relief board has been prempt in bringing the necessary legal action to compel imlmediate restitution but in cases where there was a legitimate misunderstanding on the part of the client payment is permitted to be made over a peTriod of time so as not to inflict too great a penalty on the family of tiw recipient. H. H. Rummel, director of relief in the Blair-Bedford district, says that each case has* a history of its own. Many who failed to- report off. relief when other income was obtained did not have a clear understanding of the rules and sre being permitted to make weekly payments in restitution. i. game.

GABLE MAY FIGHT BAER Clark Gable has been offered 850,000 to fight Max Baer, former heavyweight champion. He says he may accept if he finds he has enough time between pictures to do the necessary training. The offer was made by Tom Tal- lery, veteran California fight promoter, just after Gable had knocked out Allen Pomeroy, former intercollegiate champion, in a fistic battle for the cosmopolitan production, "Cain and Mabel," which comes to Altoona Strand Treatre tomorrow, with Marion Davies and Gable co- starred. Simultaneously, it was revealed that Gable had made application to the State Boxing Commission for a permit to engage in professional boxing. Commenting on the offer to meet the former champ, Gable said he could not fight without considerable training. "While I trained for five weeks for my screen fight with Pomeroy," the actor stated," "I feel that I am far from being te condition." Gable knocked out Pomeroy in eight seconds. The knockout was quite accidental, coming when Gable forgot to pull one of hto punches.

ALL DUE TO CONSOLIDATION A number of well known Republicans in Bellwood have received copies of a Democratic statement aa to Landon's school record te Kansas. They might have some influ- eence if Republicans did not know that what happened in Kansas ia exactly what happened te a great many Pennsylvania school districts. Nobody seems to be blaming the governor of Pennsylvania for the closing of nearly a score of schools in Antis township and e Uke number in many other districts of the state. Ohio took such action so long ago that it has been forgotten. Governor Landon is to be congratu- 1 lated on his share in bringing Ida state into line with the onward I march of opportunities for education, now being given children ed the districtatoo small to have schools of up-to-date character. Other governors might well follow hia example. 14,000,000 PAID SCHOOLS Checks for payments of Stete Appropriations due school districta totaling approximately $14,000,000 have been sent out by the Department of Public Instruction, Superintendent Lester K. Ade has announced. The amount represents $6,696, 000 for districts of the fourth elate and $5,330,000 to districts ef the second and third classes aad $1,824, 000 to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh which are first class1 districts. Thd sum of $194,000 was granted te financially distressed school die. tricts since tbe beginning ot the current school year. Tbs number of applicants for this special aid haa been relatively small aa compared with pwteaa years. ,

' — congressional honors, Don Gingery, present incumbent, ia ta the field fer re-election, while his opponent is Major Benjamin C. Jones, of Tyrone, Republican. It hi ssid in well informed quarters that Jones has the edge on Gingery and will likely be elected by a safe majority. Locally, leaders in both major parties have been working diligently aad are leaving no stones unturned. Voters in the borough living on the south side of the Pennsylvania railroad will cast tiieir ballots in the firemen's quarters in the public building, while those residing on the north side of tiie Pennsylvania railroad, will go to the Hescox's garage on Tuckahoe street, where they will vote. There are almost fifteen hundred voters in Bellwood, with a like number in the two voting precincts in Antis township. Owing to it being a presidential election the majority of the voters here, as well as well as elsewhere, will most likely attend the polls', as they should. A big vote is anticipated in the borough, and from present indications it will be a record-breaker.

GABLE MAY FIGHT BAER Clark Gable has been offered 850,000 to fight Max Baer, former heavyweight champion. He says he may accept if he finds he has enough time between pictures to do the necessary training. The offer was made by Tom Tal- lery, veteran California fight promoter, just after Gable had knocked out Allen Pomeroy, former intercollegiate champion, in a fistic battle for the cosmopolitan production, "Cain and Mabel," which comes to Altoona Strand Treatre tomorrow, with Marion Davies and Gable co- starred. Simultaneously, it was revealed that Gable had made application to the State Boxing Commission for a permit to engage in professional boxing. Commenting on the offer to meet the former champ, Gable said he could not fight without considerable training. "While I trained for five weeks for my screen fight with Pomeroy," the actor stated," "I feel that I am far from being te condition." Gable knocked out Pomeroy in eight seconds. The knockout was quite accidental, coming when Gable forgot to pull one of hto punches.

ALL DUE TO CONSOLIDATION A number of well known Republicans in Bellwood have received copies of a Democratic statement aa to Landon's school record te Kansas. They might have some influ- eence if Republicans did not know that what happened in Kansas ia exactly what happened te a great many Pennsylvania school districts. Nobody seems to be blaming the governor of Pennsylvania for the closing of nearly a score of schools in Antis township and e Uke number in many other districts of the state. Ohio took such action so long ago that it has been forgotten. Governor Landon is to be congratu- 1 lated on his share in bringing Ida state into line with the onward I march of opportunities for education, now being given children ed the districtatoo small to have schools of up-to-date character. Other governors might well follow hia example. 14,000,000 PAID SCHOOLS Checks for payments of Stete Appropriations due school districta totaling approximately $14,000,000 have been sent out by the Department of Public Instruction, Superintendent Lester K.
