rhe Lackawanna as Hopatoong

Traffic Manager Caldwell, General
Passenger Agent Lee, General S1pelin-
tendent Russell and other high officials
returned from Lake Hopatcong where
they have been in conference with many
of the property holders and others finan-
cially interested with reference to sys-
tematic effort to make the charming
lake, only forty two miles away, one of
the most popular inland summer resorts
about New York. The Hopatcong people
stated what they consider necessary to
bling the place to the fore. The Lack
awanna officials are enthusiastic over the
possibilities and already are considering
plans for train service that will make
it possible for New Workers to live at
the lake during the summer without
great inconvenience to themselves. The
road has a beautiful picnic ground on
the lake shore and this Will be made a
popular place for a days outing. Hotel
men will co operate with the railroad
officials and the proprietors of the steam
boat lines have promised to keep their
service at the highest standard. The
management OF the Lake Hopatcops
Club, formerly the Hotel Breslin, has
caught the improvement fever and al
ready has given notice that it win ac-
comodate a number of guests if applica-
ton is made in advance to Manager
Clark. This club, of which many of
New York's best known men are mem
bers, will accommodate $50 people. There
are numerous other good hotels scattered
about the cliffs, overlooking the lake and
the managers are all ready to cooperate
in making the place one of comfort as
it already is one OF SURPRISING beauty.

service this lake will become the summer

NOT A LUXURY

Some women have an idea that Gas
Range is luxury.
They feel toward it as they do toward
grand pianos spider phaetons or trips
to the seaside.
These women are wrong. The Gas
Stove is luxury, but not in that sense.
The Gas Range is not an adjunct to
the regular cooking range. 1t is the
regular cooking range.
s'It is ''the whole thing"
1t is not luxury to be dispensed with.
1t is an economy to be practiced.
The modern coal range, with all its
improvements and labor saving contriv-
ances, is good thing
1t was the best that had ever happened
up to its time.
But that time is past. This is the day
of the Gas Range. The coal range goes
as far as coal can go. That is very far
indeed. But Gas goes further. The
coal range does everything that coal can
do. But it cannot do what Gas will do.
The old-fashioned ways of cooking
required fuel-made ashes, and heated a
large portion of the house.
The Gas Range requires no fuel in the
ordinary sense. The idea of considering
Gas Fuel is recent one, and has come
in with the advent of the Gas Stove.
Besides, the Gas Stove doesn't burn
gas to any great extent. 1t burns air.

most practical utensils for use on the
Gas Range, may be purchased at the

Englewood Field Club turned the
tables on the M. F. q. ball team Satur-
day afternoon and the latter came very
nearly being shut out Two runs were
scored in the fifth as a result of the same
number of hits to right, that could not
be fielded owing to the hill. Two more
were added in the eighth for which an
error in centre field was responsible.
The fifth and last run scored by the home
team was the outcome of an error in left
field. Howell was hit pretty hard early
in the contest but settled down to more
effective work later. Humphreys, who
did the twirling for the visitors, YVES a
