when he reaches civilization. accord
ing to Hobart special to the London
Daily Express. The captain landed
from the Fran at Hobart, Tasmania,
for brief period. but positively re-
fused to make any statement regard
ing his achievements.
The Royal Geographical Society &C.
cepts unqualifiedly Captain Amund-
sens claim that he reached the South
pole. and takes it for granted that he
was the, first explorer to reach the
goal. although Amundsen's brief dis
patch does not mention that fact. He
made 1t very plain, however. that he
will not wait to submit his proofs that
he actually discovered the pole. but
will send them to the various geo.
graphical societies in the near future
Amundsen, the dispatch adds, has
kept all of his ships people on the

the bottom OF the earth cannot leak
in advance OF his prepared plan. He
will stay at Hobart some time, after
which he will clear for Buenos Ayres,

through the Northwestern passage to
the Atlantic.
The fact that no word has been le
ceived from Captain Scott Is accepted
by the majority of the English news
papers as meaning that Amundsen an.
nexed the coveted honors. 1t Is be-
lieved, however. that Scott also
reached the South pole. although
there will be great anxiety until he
finally reports.
There seems to be general accept
ance from Englishmen that the Nor
wegian did exactly what he said he
did in the cablegran received by his
brother which stated he spent three
days at the pole. That he did this to
prevent any suggestion Of "Cookism,"
is the belief here.
Geographers point out, however. that
Captain Amundsen and Captain Scott
may both have been there and WITHIN
a mile of each other without knowing
it, and scientists here are await
ing further details before accepting
definitely the defeat OF the British
expedition.
The message received by the Lon
don Daily Express from Wellington
In which Captain Amundsen was re
ported as saying that Scott had
reached the South Pole. was based on
a telegram alleged to have been sent
BY the Norwegian explorer, but the
authenticity of which Captain Amund
sen denies.
In response to cabled instruction tc
ask Captain Amundsen point blanA
whether Captain Scott reached the
Sopth Pole, the correspondent OF the
London Evening Star at Hobart tele
graphed the following statement:
"Amundsen refuses to say anything
on the question as to whether Scot'
reached the South Pole or not"
Captain Amundsen has for many
years been considered one OF the
most daring and competent OF Arctic
and Antarctic explorers.

when completed; to spend as little
money in this pursuit as is possible
| and TO increase the income of the
schools by these improvements to
such degree as to satisfy large
part of the interest on the funded
debt.
The Board will be glad to avail
Itself of the opinion and experience of
any committee which the citizens
might appoint, in proceeding with the
new work and il would respectfully
suggest that you continue to cooper
ate, by this or other means, TO secure
at the least cost for Lambertyille.
school facilities which a full under.
standing OF all the facts warrant us in
considering absolutely necessary.
The Board, then, herewith submits
its answer TO your Communication in
the order of the items of your letter.
AS follows:-
First. The plans and specifications
for remodeling the third ward school
are now in the possession of one of
the members of your Committee aud
have been in his possession for sew,
eral weeks. There we're no plans
drawn for remodeling the first ward
building. Other records of the
Boards actions are, of course open TO
your inspection at any time you de-
| sire. The Supervising Principal aud
the Clerk of the Board have been re-
quested to furnish you with the in
formation you ask,
Second. You have not understood
the proposed plan of the Board COR
rectly. 1t is not to expend $40, 900. 90
for High School alone but to pro-
vide for building to take care of one
OF the third grades and all of the
grades above the third. 1t is neees-
sary TO include the High School in the
immediate plan for two very potent
reasons; one, that it is mandatory
upon us by the State that we provide
suitable equipment for secondary as
we'll as elementary instruction, or
else put in serious jeopardy our au.
nual State appropriation of approx.
mately 100000; the other, that the
proposed expansion of tho High
School curriculum offers source of
income which cannot otherwise he
hoped for as au Offset to the cost of
bond ISSUE.
Third. II you submit plans aud es-
Inmates OF cost, permit us to call your
attention to the fact that they must be
in accordance with the State building
in effect August /, 1919.
Fourth. We cannot believe that YOU
do represent majority of the tax.pay-
era II III this you mean in reference to
the pSoposltion in your item number
two. For we cannot believe that
majority OF the x-payers are willing
to take chances on losing an annual
income Of 30, 000.0 90. Nor can we be-
lieve that any taxpayer, desiring to
comply fully with tho law aud willing
TO devote the amount of time aud
study we have devoted TO the question
could arrive at any other conclusion
than we have arrived at, namely, that
our present plan represents the most
economical solution of our problem
educatonally, socially aud financially.
Respectfully submitted,
lSigned) BOARD OF EDUCATION,
WILLIAM KAoHLINE,
Secretary.
On motion il was ordered that when
we adjourn that we adjourn to meet at
the cal! of the President.
Their being no further business, on
motion adjourned.

Lambertville, N. j., Dec. 3, 1919.
THE Hon. WILLIAM LAuER,
Mayor of Lambertville, N. J.
At meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Lam.
bertville, New Jersey, tho following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
cd aud II committee, Mesdames Pow
ell, Barber and Oonover, appointed 10
present them to His Honor.
WHEREAS, IL il rnmored and we have
reason to believe the rumor TO be
true, though we have no legal
proofs, that the laws relating to the
selling of intoxicants on Sunday are
habitually violated and
WHEREAS, We hear that the laws re-
iating to selling liquor To minors
are also violated, although in this
instance also we can produce no
legal proof of the same, aud
WHEREAS, We hnoiO that the law re-
lating to cigarette selling is con-
stantly violated, as We frequently
see children on the street smoking.
Therefore, be II
ReSOtUed, that we respectfully and
earnestly call upon His Honor, the
Mayor, To use the whole police power
conferred upon him by the charter of
the city, to break up these vicious
practices and to enforce the laws of
the State.
We are moved to present this petit
ton by tho following considerations,
TO wit:
1t is well known that tho drinking
Of intoxicants, especially by minors,
has debasing aud deleterious effect
uDDn mind and hndv
1t is also well known that the use
Of tobacco has very bad effect, phys
ically, upon growing children, so
much so, that those addicted TO the
habit are very frequently rejected for
important positions, which other
wise they would be qualified to fill.
But above aud beyond all other
considerations is the fact that law
disobeyed regularly breeds contempt
of all law, raises up a class of unde-
sirable citizens, and unless checked,
leads to anarchy, riot and blood shed.
For these REASONS aud others that
might be named, we appeal TO your
Honor TO free our city from this re-
proach. II the police power conferred
upon yon by the charter Of the city il
not sufficient, then call to your aid
any and every agency available.
We hereby pledge to your honor
| our unfnlling support.

A Foolish Complaint.

the use OF automobiles has cut down

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol.

Did you ever cough for month";
Then Just think how distressing 1t
must be to have cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose. Of 81 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. " says: Il had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months.
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
OF taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, vinol, is that my cough is gone.
! can now get good nights rest, and
/ feel much stronger in every way"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle of vinol. with the un-
derstanding that your money will
be returned II it doea not help you.
