ors and station agents Of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit had their trou-
bles vest erday when the raise of pas
senger rates went into effect.
The conductors had to arm them
selves with pannies for the cash fares
taken on the trains and the agents
had to do likewise to make the right
change for the odd fares that are be-
ing charged.
There is a ten per cent raise in all
tickets on the island. The commuta-
tation rate from Tottenville to Man.
haitian is raised from 1915 to $7.43
and the Manhattan school ticket from
IS to $3.50. An excursion ticket from
here to Manhattan is raised from sixty
cents to sixty-nine cents.
The single ticket from thirty five
cents to thirty-eight cents.

Tottenville to st. George, $6.88; St.
George school tickets, 1928; Rapid
Transit $7.43; Rapid Transit school,
$3.50; fifty trip to New York, 1920,
and fifty trip to st. George, $12.o5.
Single ticket from Tottenville to ST.
ty-three cents; Dongan Hills, thirty
one cont; Grant City, thirty cents;
New Dorp, twenty-six cents: Oak

race, twenty-five cents; Great Kills,
twenty cents; Eltingville, sixteen
cents; Annadale, fifteen cents; HUI

used only on the six cent cash fares.
The fare is rung up on the five cent
mark and the other cent must be kept
tabs on by the conductor for the one
cent war tax. The duplex system is
again being used on the other cash
fares.

MATAWAN, June 11:-During the
severe thunderstorm which passed
over this borough late yesterday af-
ternoon lightning slightly damaged
the residence of Peter Lisk in Jack:
son street, when it struck large tree
in front of the house from which il
jumped onto the house proper.
The bolt started a small fire be-
tween the roof of the house and the
Garret but the flames were quickly
extinguished by the use of a garden
hose. When the smoke was seen to
come from the roof an alarm was
sounded, to which the Washington
Engine Company and the NJ. E. Haley
Hose Company responded.

Useful Electric Lantern.

Among the numerous electric lam
terms is mechanical one, standing
about foot high, that provides Its
own current. A spring motor, wound
up like clock, drives small genera
tor, and this supplies current for a
lamp bulb of 12-candle power. The
motor, generator and governor are con-
tanned in base six by eight inches in
size. Such a lantern is useful for the
camp, the farm, or other place, and can
be carried about in all kinds Of
weather.

PROSECUTE LAMP BREAKER
Richmond Light Company Lose
$500 Monthly hy Practice


$4,000 tMonthIy by Practice
TOTTENVILLE, June 1.-THE
number Of street lights being broken
out has reached such an extent that
the Richmond Light and Railroad
Company feels compelled to take
drastic steps to curb it.
One of the company's officials
stated that it is costing the company
in the neighborhood of $4,000 per
month to replace broken lamps, and
for the most part 1t is caused by
school boys and in many cases with
air rifles.
Parents are requested to warn
their children not to take street
lamps as targets, for the company
feels that it must end this breakage
and must prosecute offenders when
caught.
They offer a reward of $40 for in
formation which will lead to the ar
rest and conviction of persons break
ing out lamps. Several boys have
already been caught.
The official above quoted seemed
to regret very much the necessity Of
taking any steps in this direction, but
stated the loss to the company and
the danger to the public from having
the lamps out compelled it.

Write me as soon as possible and
send me the EVENING NEWS. Tell
my friends if they want to come up
here they can come any time at all,
as they do not need a pass TO get on
the island. Some of the boys have
visitors every day. If any one comes
to see me, tell them to bring some
home made sandwiches and cake.
A great number up here like to hear
about Perth Amboy. The minute
say Perth Amboy, people ask me what
1 know about the place and all such
questions. Perth Amboy must be a
great place. l do not know just how
long 1 will stay here. 1 am awfully
lonesome for look at some one I
know. The rest of the boys here arc
the same. I have met bunch of boys
from JeI sey up here.

Automobile Notes

One of the unusual and excellent
displays at the motor show, on which
the crowds are focusing attention,
is that of the Oldsmobile Sportster, a
strikingly new effect in body design.
Mr.. o., Dale Bowers, of the Central
Auto Station, local distributor, is i'm
mensely pleased at it's popularity.
It's slim. racy, low hung lines give
remarkable external indications of act
i've response, undoubted speed. flexi-
bility and power. Designed to meet
the ever growing exactions of the men
who get things done, and of the broad
er activities of the modern woman, it
is the timely combination of efficient
utility and unquestioned smartness
and style.
Quick transportation. in covering a
varied round of appointments, in bust
ness, service and social requirements,
has built the need for this type of car
with it's ample power for all kinds Of
roads, sand. mud, snow. its hill
climbing ability and unusual fIexi-
bility in threading tangled traffic at
low speed on high gear without gear
shifting. 1t is this characteristic of
the Oldsmobile eight-cylinder, IS II.
P. engine, that gives this car such
wide appeal among women drivers.
Among the unusual points of excel
lence are the oval beveled plate glass
windows at the rear of the graceful
top and the tonneau lamp which lights
the rear step in entering or aiighting
from the car at night.
