rate" deferred service, they call
it over there, which is the laughing
stock of every American who at
tempts to use it. An enjoyable press
item appeared recently in one of the
Continental papers, in which it was
reported that during a long distance
aeroplane flight it was attempted to
telephone from the starting to finish
ing point, announcing that the flight
had just begun. But, strange as it
may seem to us in this country, the
aeroplane reached the finish line be-
fore the telephone message did, to
the uproarious amusement OF the
assembled crowds.
In some foreign countries a pre-
ferred service" so called, furnished
on long distance telephone messages
of pressing Importance. But this
special rush service, of which at its
best is hardly comparable in speed
and quality with the regular long
distance service of this country, is
charged for at rates which are twice
and often three times as high as the
rates for deferred service" and con-
siderably higher than those charged
for ordinary long distance service
here.
Americans, whose dependence on
the promptness and availability OF
the long distance telephone is .univer-
sal, will find in this comparison a
subject for careful thought in their
consideration of the agitated postal
ization of the telephone systems OF
this country.

Get Measured Now for Your Easter Suit.

Now let's look at the facts,
fellows. We're just as live and
young in our ideas today at 40 as
we were at 20. But the point is
if we want to get credit for the
youth that is still in us = we must
look it.
Don't be afraid of being undigni-
fled if you wear smart clothes.
That kind of dignity belongs to the
old gentlemen's home-not to
youngsters of 40 in whom the good
red blood of activity and vigor stills
runs bright.

Silver Anniversary Observed.

The Silver Anniversary of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
of the First Presbyterian Church of
this city was observed with suitable
ceremonies Friday afternoon, in the
lecture room of the church.
Mrs. William Libbey, of Princeton,
President of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Presbytery
of New Brunswick, made the adj
dress, and quoted many extracts
from the reports of workers in
different fields of endeavor. There
was a goodly attendance, despite
the rain and snow.
This society was organized in
1889 by Rev. William Swan, then

Troubles With the Snow.

The Great White" Way is
bothering the road supervisors and
Hunterdon County Board of Free
holders a whole lot just now, and
it's neither a moral nor dramatic
issue, but it comes mighty close to
being tragedy.
Stretched out across the highways
of the county are upwards of three
thousand telephone and telegraph
poles, broken in the storm OF a
week ago, still blocking traffic.
From Ringoes northward, along
the York Road, and on toward Rea-
vile the highway is almost complete
Iy blocked, travellers driving through
the fields for long distances,
A sudden thaw will make these
fields almost impossible, and roads
are already SO.
The removal of these poles and
untangling of the network of wires
will cost a lot of money, and neither
the county nor the townships feel
like doing it.
The telegraph and telephone COM
panies will do it, just as soon as
they can get to it, but the Western
Union Company alone has something
like 2,100 poles down on it's trunk
lines across this section of New Jer-
sey, so the replacement is a matter
of weeks rather than hours or days.
The poles on York Street have
been chopped off about the middle,
leaving the upper half with cross
arms and wires in the road, but af-
fording sufficient room for vehicles
to pass.
No such problem confronted the
road supervisors, either in 1888,
1899, nor after the ice storm of
1902, as confronts them now.

city, and has continued its active
work down to this time.
Mrs. William Swan, the pastors
wife, was first president of the
society, and is now holding that
office, though not continuously since
its organization.
Mrs. Swan was presented with a
beautiful bouquet of flowers, the
combined gift of her many friends
in the society.
The other officers are: Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs. Alfred L. Pierson; second
vice president, Mrs. L. 7. Salmon;
third vice president, Mrs. D. W.
Hoppock; secretary, Miss Harriet
F. Holcombe; treasurer, Mrs. Calvin
Solliday; secretary of literature,

The society contributes $3.50 per
year toward the support of Miss
Amanda Kerr, at Jagraon, India,
and Mrs. DIR. Ruth B. Boggs, at
Canton, China.

The "Flag" List.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Lambertville Flag Committee,
officially known as the Board of
Protectors, took on an Importance
of unexpected magnitude Tuesday
night. In addition to the regular
committee, which includes Mayor
Morse, of this city, Chief Burgess
Daniel B. Oblinger, of New Hope,
and Mayor Theodore S. Moore, of
Stockton, were present. John Simon,
another member of the New Hope,
flag" committee, was also present.
Thirteen names were added to the
list. Eleven came from the city of
Lambertville, and two were request
ed by the Borough of New Hope.
Chief Burgess Oblinger reported
that when the revised list first went
into effect in Lambertville something
like a dozen men crossed the bridge
to the Pennsylvania town to Stake
their thirst. Since then the Lambert
vile list has been placed in the hands
of the New Hope hotelkeepers, so
that source of supply is shut off.
Mayor Moore said that an official
list for Stockton borough had not
as yet been prepared, put that he
had personally looked after those
who should go on it. and added that
they were now refused liquor at the
one barroom in Stockton.
Four names were dropped from
the Lambertville list, these persons
proving to the satisfaction of the
committee that they had ceased to
be drunkards.
In the future man will have to
show clean record for several
months before his name will be re-
moved, as the committee is going at
the matter in earnest, and intends
to make it effective.

In fact, one English authority terms her as being distinctly ugly
 Designer Nicholson intimated some months ago that the challenger would show some radical departures from conventional type and judging from comment in English yachting circles only an exhibition of remarkable speed in light winds will b., acceb,vd as justifying this extreme style of design. One description states that she is several feet wider in beam than the American yachts, square stem med, exaggerated at the bow and carrying an extreme mast and sail area. Still another authority writes:
 The vessel is of composite con- struction, being built with some frames of an aluminium alloy naval tum and others of steel whilst her skin is of three thicknesses of wood and the deck is two-ply wood. Her spars are hollow and built of wood The hull of the yacht is far from be- to call pretty form The waterline will be 75 feet, sbut the overall length despite of a snubbed stem and g sawn off transom, will probably eX- | ceed this figure by 50 per cent and il the sheer is hogged no scientist vii | be surprised The vessel too. is sur, to have tumble-home sides, but th' extent to which they may be employ ed in the challenger for the America' cup will cause the vessel to be re garded as a freak of an extreme type The yacht will be fitted with dag l ger plate centerboard, and her sai

Francis J.

Mir He ney has lately been in the southern part of the state engaged in the trial of suit by himself and his brother Ben Heney, of Tucson, against R. R. Richardson in the court of Santa Cruz county.
 Speaking of the political situation in California, Mir Heney said that notwithstanding the fact that the re- publican registration is nearly twice as great as that of the progressives. nc serious doubt is anywhere enter tained of the reelection of Cover nor Hiram w. Johnson.
 In the course of his own cam paign, MT. Heney has found that many who have been earnest prog ressives, for one reason or another, have registered as republicans, but have declared that they are as strongly progressive as ever and will continue to support the progressive ticket
 The California primaries will take place on August 25. The democratic candidate for United States senator will probably be James D. Phelan. former mayor of San Francisco, and the republican candidate will likely

The power bonds were supported by the Earl papers and all the clements which have fought for progressivism in that county. The bonds were opposed by all the reactionary forces in the city. the same elements which constituted the cid political machine. Enormous sums of money were spent in oppo- sition to the bonds. yet they carried handsomely. The lineup. I believe, will be about the same on any po- litical question that may come up

 TANGO VOYAGE
Toledo Rotary Club Mem bers to Rag to Texas in Sumptuous Palace Car to Music of Overland Auto Factory Band

The latest development in the pop ular craze for modern day dancing has found an unique expression in the plans of 150 Toledo, Ohio, peo- pie, who have formally announced their intention of "tangoing from To- ledo to Texas" The long distance terpsichorean advocates, who propose to indulge in this greatest of all dance Marathons in the new tango car provided especially for the oc- casion, are members of the Toledo Rotary club, and their wives. Their goal is Houston, Texas, where the annual convention of the Interna- tional Association of Rotary clubs is to be held during the week of June 22nd
 The tango car is one of the big gest and finest observation coaches the Rock Island railroad possesses. and will be placed at the disposal of the ROtarians for the entire trip, be- ing sent from Chicago to Toledo so that the travellers may enjoy their , dancing from the start. The obser- vation room, 25 feet long and the full width of the car, will be avail able for dancing, for the seats will | be removed and a special dancing 1 floor laid. Tea and light refresh ments will be served in the lounge adjoining the dancing compartment and the tourists will find it as con- venient and easy to indulge in tan | go teas" while flying across the country at sixty miles per hour on a special train. as though they were at home.
 Music for the. dancing will be fur nished by a special orchestra picked from the fifty members of the
 Overland concert band, which will accompany the Rotarians as honor
 ary musical escort. The bandmen
 who are all workers from the plant of the Willy-Overland company. of Toledo, are making the trip to Tex
 as as part of their second transcon- tinental vacation tour as guests of their employer, President John N
 Willys. Enroute to and from Hous-
 ton the band will give free concerts
 in downtown parks of the various
 cities at which the special Rotary
 train will stop. Five days will be
 spent at the convention. after Whict
 the 2,000 delegates and the band vii,
 make a circle tour of the leading
 Texas cities, including San Antonio Austin, Waco, Fort Worth, Dallas
 and Beaumont, with park concert
 at each stop.

 June 18th and visits will be madt
 and concerts given in Chicago, Kan sas City, Wichita, and Oklahoma
 City. On the return trip the band will visit New Orleans. Birmingham ] Atlanta, Chattanooga, Lexington anC , Cincinnati and many of the Rotarie: have announced their intention oi making the trip home with the musi clans, to avail themselves of the op- : portunity of enjoying the tango cal
 on the whole journey. Incidentally the dance car is proving itself S, ; popular that it is not at all unlikel, l that future railroad advertisement l for roads running from Chicago t l the Pacific coast will include thi , luxury in their list of train equip. ment
