Malhg Hint About MOTHS i £383e | ‘Reward of $5,000 Is Asked for Killer 0f Two Womgn *Prosecutor Urges That County Hike Present $2,500 Figure; Clue Found By the Associated Press. BELLEFONTE, Pa, May 7.—Dis- trict Attorney Musser W. Gettig to- day asked that $5,000 reward be posted for apprehension of the “sex maniac” who killed two young women, identical crimes which have highly aroused residents of this Pennsylvania farming area. The official’s request accompanied demands by townsfolk for “meas- ures to ehd such a violence”—the ruthless slaying of Fay Gates, 25, a factory worker, and Rachel Tay- lor, {l-year-old ‘co-ed at the Penn- sylvania State College. Mr. Gettig asked the Centre County Commissioners to increase the present reward of $2,500. The county put up $1,000 of that Penn State students offered tI other $1,500 after the killing of Miss Taylor March 28. Former Common Pleas Judge M. | Ward Fleming said “the county | should offer a substantial reward that would be attractive to men ferreting out such crimes, and not a measly $1,000.” State motor police continued, meanwhile, the search for a tan automobile believed owned by the man who criminally assaulted and fatally beat Miss Gates last Sun- day. They checked up on several hundred cars of that color in the vicinity. Clues to identify the slayer have been meager, but State Police Com- missioner Lynn G. Adams disclosed last night a “small key” was found near the site of the latest slaying. Efforts are being made to trace the key through its manufacturers. Official opinion prevailed that the killer lives in Centre County and “hundreds of persons here un- doubtedly know him and consider him perfectly normal.” Sons of Union Veterans Of Maryland Meet The 54th annual encampment of the Department of Maryland, Sons of Union Veterans, was called to order today by Comdr.

SONNYSAYINGS STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 'C;’ Nature’s Children Pacific Smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) By LILLIAN COX ATHEY. The Pacific smelt of Puget Sound is found along the Pacific Coast from Monterey northward. It has been seen in almost every part of the sound at some time during the year., Here the smelts prosper, for specimens of 7 or 8 inches have been caught. ‘The smelt is a pale olive color, with a silvery band along the sides. The elongated body is compressed and covered with moderately sized scales, The difference between the sexes may easily be recognized. The female has a bright green back and a silvery white abdomen. The males are not quite so rounded in the middle. They are yellowish on the back and they have pale red spots at the base of their ventral fins. Immature fish are not so pro- nounced in color variations. The spawning activities of the Pacific smelt have been observed by Victor L. Loosanoff, United States Bureau of Fisheries, at Utsalady Beach, on Comano Island, ‘Washington. This locality affords a fine opportunity to study the fish in their typical environment at this time. The steep slope to the beach is well protected by a splen- did growth of alder trees which provide ample shade for the fish and eggs at spawning time. Pacific smelt mature in their second year. read, proving their exact age. They Their scales can be | spawn- but once, returning to the deep water to die. ~ ‘The first school of spawners ap- pears about the first of June, nearly all being males, They are jbined shortly after by the females. Spawn- ing reaches its peak by the middle of June and continues intensively until the middle of July, when it gradually diminishes, - At first the smelt remain outside during the flood tides. Then, when the second part of the flood tide is near—about an hour before high ast numbers swim back and A Wide Variety of MOTHER'S DAY Cards including cards for My Other Mother . . o Mother of my Friend .., My Sister on Mother's Day etc., ete.
