AN INDUSTRIAL
PREPAREDNESS

Industrial preparedness, both for
peace and for war, will be the topic
of discussion t the get-together
meeting to be held under the auspices
of the Lambertville Chamber of Com
merce on Friday, May 18th, s p. m.
The speaker will be Ellis L. Rowland,
of New York, one of the editors of
the country's most influential bust
ness newspapers, and secretary of
Motor Truck Club of America.
Mr.. Rowland comes to Lambert
vile as the representative of the
National Industrial Conservation
Movement of New York, which is
conducting a campaign to increase
industrial efficiency. Along trade
and economic lines he is writer and
lecturer of note and is qualified to
make an interesting analysis of the
indus trial situation as it exists today.
Using for his theme Promoting
Permanent Prosperity" Mr.. How
land will outline the things that have
done by manufacturers inconjunction
with the labor interests to render
the industries of the country fit for
war purposes. At the same time,
he will tell of the conservation move
ment's efforts to meet the even
graver peris of the reconstruction
period after the close of the war,
when foreign manufacturers, with
renewed vigor, shall invade the trade
markets of the country.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1917-05-10
THEODORE G. KITCHIN.

If the industries of the country
are to meet that foreign competition
Mr.. Rowland will show, all economic
waste must be eliminated, especially
that resulting from friction between
capital and labor. The speaker will
tell of the efforts being made by the
N tional Industrial Conservation
Movement to restore harmony be-
tween employers and employees, to
convince them that their best inter-
ests lie in a sensible program of CO.
operation.
Another aim Of the conservation
movement, Mr.. Rowland will ex-
plain, is the enlightenment of the pub
lie regarding the needs and problems
of business. 1t is essential, he will
show, that the public should be rid
of the fallacious idea that all bust
ness is predatory and INSCRIPTIONS.
Once this illusion has been. eliminated
MIR. Rowland will assert, the public
will cease to clamor for the enact
ment of laws that hamper and harass
commercial enterprises and instead
will demand legislation that encour-
ages rather than discourages bust
ness initiative.
Next Mr., Rowland will discuss
the valuable results that can be &C,
complished through cooperation be
tween the citizens of town and the
board of trade. He will also paint
an unfattering word portrait of the
legislator who, for private ends, in
PRODUCES anti business legislation.

A Great Lecture.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, of
Georgia, delivered powerful lecture
against the liquor traffic in the First
Presbyterian church of Lambertville
on Tuesday evening. More than 500
persons heard her speak, and it was
generally conceded that she was the
best heard here in long time, if
ever. A telegram was sent to Presi-
dent Wilson, from the meeting, ask
ing that war prohibition be effected
at once.
Special music was furnished by
the male double quartette from the
Mems Bible class, and was thorough
ly appreciated.
The next meeting of the w. c. t.
IT,, will be held in the Kalmia rooms
on May Is, at 3 p. m, and Miss
Streeter will speak.

handle effectively that the response
bility had best be divided. This will
be done by the following arrange
ment. Lambertville, Clinton, High
Bridge and Pennington will become
Branches and the other auxiliaries
will be asked to choose with which
one they wish to be associated. For
instance, the High School in Elem
ington will become an auxiliary of
of the Pennington Branch.
The branches will buy materials
for themselves and their auxiliaries,
will conduct classes in First Aid,
etc, and equip a place where surgi-
cal dressings may be made. These
are the things which require money
and larger membership while the
smaller auxiliaries will work on
other supplies in which the labor
required is greater than the cost.
In this way all the work which the
Red Cross asks of US will be distrib-
uted over the county most effec-
lively.
Concerning the money received
both from dues and donations there
was thorough discussion. Finally
a plan was adopted which will be
used for the present. though the ac-
tual working-out may suggest
changes later. Of the dollar dues,
fifty cents must go to Washington,
and of the rest, twenty-five cents
will go to the local organization and
twenty-five cents to the Chapter.
This will form Maintenance Fund
for the Chapter to provide for pack

fact that people love the Stars and Stripes because of the

The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave Govern

Some people of lesser magnitude say that persecution

patriotism and love of country should be abbed into peo

your fellow mans welfare and loyal support Of the const

number of ways in which to serve

at headquarters, and one may give
any time anywhere; or better yet
all the time and everywhere.
At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Hunterdon County

THOS. DAVIS

Another old soldier citizen has re-
sponded to the last call and gone on
before. He was we'll known te MANY
Of the old residents Of this part of
Wood county. He was a sturdy man
of strong will and decision, but honor
able and upright in all OF his dealings
with men. A good husband, father
and friend has gone to his final rest.
His life in Wood County was most
ly given over to farming He was
married twice, and lived to the good
old age of IS years.
Mr.. Thomas Davis was born in Eng
land, of English parents, September
1 1881. He came to America in 1852
and later to the city of Grand Rapids
in the spring of 1853. He was married
here to Miss Amelia Palmer, February
10, 1853. To this union four girls

EVEN CANNON DROOP

Among the problems with which
army and navy engineers have to deal
nowadays is that of the dropping of
the muzzles of excessively long guns
under the stress of their own weight.
Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns of 12-inch calibre and So
feet length droop at the muzzle about
Az minutes Of arc, while built-up
solid guns of the same size droop
about 21a minutes. Differences Of
temperature in the body of the gun
also cause bendings, which may eth
er increase the droop at the muzzle
or counterfeit it, according as it is the
upper or under part of the gun that
has the higher temperature. In con-
sequence, projectiles on leaving a gun
have a wabbly motion, continuing up
to 500 yards and probably more.
