What Is Good Style?

Not the freakish, faddish ideas you see in some clothes; that isn't style.
 There's something quite different than that in real style. A Styiishly dressed man is one whose clothes fit, and who has an "air" of being we'll dressed.
 The lines of the garments are right, and the clothes must be refined.
 We'll show you the clothes that do all of that.
 Suits $20. to $40 and

GAS COMPANIES
SERVICE CHARGE

The New Jersey Northern Gas
Company is sending out notice to its
local consumers this week that the
"rediness to serve" charge of 25
cents will be made each month now,
and that all gas up to 10000 cubic
feet each month will be charged for
at $1.60 per 1000, with a SC. re-
bate for prompt payment, making
it $l55 net Consumption in ex-
cess of 10000 feet will be charged
for at $1.10 gross, or 81 net. No
change is made in the industrial
rate.
1t is pointed out, by the company,
that this increase was granted by
the Public Utilities Commission, to
be effective only so long as costs
shall remain at the present high
level.
The company claims that one-half
the consumers use less than 500
cubic feet per month, and that the
average profit on these customers is
ID cents each, or not enough to pay
interest on the investment for each
customer 1t actually costs, they
claim, about 81 per month per Gus
toner to serve, regardless of gas
consumed, and if this could be the
basis. gas could be sold much cheap
err than now, so that the larger con-
sumner would save money, but this
would work hardship on the small
Ter consumer, who will not be ser
iously affected by the 25c. charge,

CHANGE IN THE
ELECTRIC RATES

The Lambertville Public Service
Company has asked the Public
Utilities Commission for permission
to standardize their rates in Lamb
ertville, (which also affects New
Hope) which are lower than those
have been in force in Flemington
and some other places, it is claimed.
The present house rate of 15c. per
kilowatt hour would apply to all or
binary users of current up to 80
klloWatts per month, after which the
rate will be 10c. per kilowatt for the
next 70, and Sc. for all over 100.
The minimum charge will be 81. 90
per month.
1t is pointed out by the company
that the cost of coal has doubled,
and in some cases even trebled, aside
from other increased costs, and that
the proposed changes will cover only
part of the coal cost alone.
Two years ago the city made 5
year contract with the company,
whereby it secured a greatly imp
roved service at reduction in cost.
and this cannot be changed how,
even though raise there might
solve the problem in part.
Since the present company has
had the plant, for two years past, it
has been the constant aim of the
management to improve the equip
ment and service, and a manager
with local residence has been on the
job the whole time.
Should the REIMBURSEMENT of rates
not be granted it is not known Just
what the outcome will be, in view
of the present coal situation, but it
is probable that there will be a cur
tailment of service somewhere, as
the only alternative, although the
management is striving to avoid such
AZ atty if possible.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR
GIRLS In WAR TIME?

This question should cause every
man and woman to pause and con-
slider. Thousands of girls have left
their homes in the country to go to
the cities to work in factories where
war supplies are made, or to fill
places vacated by men. Who is to
see that they are properly housed
and their leisure hours to some ex-
tent directed
Who will find a way to arouse the
many young girls in the cities and
villages bordering the environments
to an interest in some patriotic ac-
Invites, that will divert their minds
into wholesome channels?
Who will provide housing and
rest places for the many who are
employed in the environments as
telephone operators, laundresses,
etc?
Who will work among the colored
girls in the sections of the South
where many of the camps and can
tonments are situated?
Who will render practical assist
ance to the many women who can
not speak a word of English, whose
husbands have been called to the
colors, leaving them helpless and
deserted.
The Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION is endeavoring to meet
these problems and many others. 1t
has workers in Russia and France,
who are demonstrating the value of
the organization to these countries
where social service work is practi-
cally unknown.
1t is planning to erect huts. SINH
lar to the Y. M. C. A. huts, at the
hospital base units at the front, for
the use of the American Red Cross
nurses when off duty.
At the request of the government,
it is erecting hostess houses at the
environments to serve as meeting
places for the families and friends
of the soldiers, who are waiting to
take their places at the front.
To carry on this work $6,000,000
is needed, $4,000 being the share
of the Trenton district, in which
LambertvilIe is placed
Will not the citizens of Lambert
vile heed this call for woman war
workers as promptly and literally as
they have responded to the calls for
the soldier boys? Contributions
should be made before Monday, Jan.
ID, to any of the following ladies;
Mrs John Lilly, Miss Julia Consi-
dine, Mrs. Fred Cummings, Mrs.
Isaac Holcombe, Mrs. W, B. John,
Mrs. L. T. Salmon.
This work is endorsed by the local
War Council.

endorsement of practically
everybody in this locality
goes without saying. There
is no quarrel with the New
Hope Delaware Bridge Com
pany. 1t has filled a real
need and filled it weIl-bet-
ter, perhaps, than any like
company on the Delaware ;
now it should be justly COM
pensated and the bridge
made free. The injustice of
paying tolls is local, and not
the company's but the states.
