RAVEN ROCKS
PHONEX-CHANCE
Bell Company Lists Up-River Village
in Directory, and 1t Has Some
Unique Features About 1t.
WHERE 1T EXCELS PENNINGTON

Raven Rock has a telephone ex-
change. You don't believe it? Well,
just look in the Bell Telephone Di-
rectory and see for yourself.
District Manager c. R. Fairchild
and Theodore H. Smith, who looks
after the phone circulation in the
Jersey half of the Coryell's Ferry
Community, blew into our office the
other day and demanded to know
why we were concealing such import
ant news as the establishment of a
telephone exchange at Raven Rock.
1t was real news to us, and we
were skeptical, but Mr.. Fairchild
proudly pointed it out to US in the
directory, and after feeling properly
a5ashed at our ignorance. we meek
ly apologized for the dereliction of
duty upon our part.
Raven Rock has continuous service
night and day, Sundays, holidays,
rainy days, and even on snowy days.
How Brother Killgore, Sister Voor-
hees and Brother Abbott, of the
Pennington newspapers, will view
this we don't know, but certain it is
that Lambertville and Raven Rock
are the only listed telephone ex-
changes in Hunterdon county that
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1916-04-27

have continuous service. Fleming
ton, it is true, gets an extra late
service up to 7.30 or o'clock 1--WE
forget which, for the gay young
blades who want to phone their sweet
hearts that they got home safe, but
on Sundays there's brief service
aboutnoontime for thefirst. Whether
it is to be assumed that Remington
ians don't get up any earlier than
that, we don't know, or it may be
that they are too pious to talk over
telephone before they have first
attended church services.
It's quite evident that if Fleming
ton wants to be classified along with
progressive places like Raven Rock,
it will have to begin hustling soon.
District Manager Fairchild, who is
partly responsible for the Raven
Rock exchange (Which also includes
the suburb of Byram,) is shown
above, and while he denies it en-
phatically, is is confidently halived
that the smile on his face is caused
by the pleasure it gave him to help
Raven Rock put one over" on Flem-
ington in the way of service.
incidentally Raven Rock is the
only New Jersey telephone exchange
through which the Buckingham, Pa,
exchange may be called without
extra charge.

no EXCUSE FOR MISTAKING

A new and conclusive method for

method has now for the first time
been used in public health work. with

Professor Force was asked to solve
the puzzle by the use of his new meth

Two rabbits gave the answer. Two
years ago they had been vaccinated
by DR.. Force and rendered thoroughly
immune to smallpox. These vacctnated
rabbits were inoculated with material
from the Stockton case and at the
same time inoculated with the vaccine
for smallpox. Twenty-four hours later
a perfectly definite reaction of immun-
ity showed on the skin where the vac
cine had been applied, and no reaction
whateer where the material from the
Stockton case had been applied on the
rabbits skin. This test, harmless to
the rabbits, proved beyond the shadow

New York, March This, the six
teenth day of the Battle of Verdun,
sees no change in the situation but
additions to the heaps of dead on the
ground over which, time after time,
the German troops have charged under
the murderous fire of the French
guns.
One would search history in vain to
find parallel battle, with it's 900 hours
of unbroken artillery firing by both
sides, during which more than 5000, 900
shells have been hurled through the
air and in which the losses in killed
and wounded probably reach close to
a quarter of million.
During the last three days the Ger
mans have lost important points in
the game Of butchery and have lost
some ground. But they cannot give
up the battle except under the direst
necessity.
The world has recognized this Ger
man offensive as the final desperate
endeavor to break through the wall
of steel to capture Paris. For the
French simply to prevent this is to
gain victory, but for the Germans
to fail to do this is not simply to lose
it's helplessness against the foe that
is strangling the Central Powers.
