Gas Employe Killed.

Francis Moonan, an employee of the
New Jersey Northern Gas Company,
lost his life about 7.3O A. NJ, Sunday.
by first being overcome hy escaping
gas and then drowning, in ere Of the
company's manholes Oh York street,
Lambertville.
The young man, Who was 19 years
of age, and soa of Mr.. and Mrs.
Patrick Moonan, of Grant Avenue,
had gone to the place to urn on The
high pressure gas line, which comes
to this city from Pennington, while
his mother was preparing breakfast
and when he did not return his father
went to look for him. He was found
dead in the bottom of the manhole
pit, and Drs. E. W. Closson and F. w.
Larson, who were called, pronounced
it case of drowning. 1t is supposed
that he was overcome while turning
the valve, and fell face downward in
about eighteen inches of water.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning at St. Johns &C. Church,
with requiem high mass by Rev. Faith
er j. F. Mahoney. Interment was in
st. Johns R. c. Cemetery under the
direction of E. J. Moonan.
Several men have suffered from the
effects of gas at this place, and it is
said to be the only one of this kind
anywhere in this section of the coan-
try. In other places high pressure
connections are either turned off and
on from the inside of a building, but
at this place it is necessary to open
manhole in tie center If heavily
Travelled street, twice each day and
the employe mas to climb down a
ladder and turn the valves.

The latter part of January our
councilmen gave their council cham
Der, free of charge, as a school room
for the children in the first grade
who can only go to school half ses-
sion each day.
The committee in charge have Sc
cured a teacher, but the room has not
been opened as yet.
If our board of directors are lot
careful our progressive children will
overtake them.
= If we cannot have an up-to-date
school, where the state pays two
thirds and the town only one-third
then let US do what little IAN be done
for the betterment of our children.
Why is it all our lower grades are
so crowded, we cannot give the pupils
the proper attention, and our UPPER
grades have barely enough pupils tc
support a proper high school? It is
because we have nothing to hold their
attention or interest in the higher
grades.
Like everything else our children
are progressing, and we can 5old
them no longer with the things that
at one time would attract us.
The saying that, what is good
enough for me is good enough for my
children" is no longer true
Has there ever been time IN his
tory, when the world has advanced
as it has il the past five years? Dun
children have caught the fever, and
we must give them more consideration
or what will become of our town?

Asphalt Oil for streets

The question of applying liquid as
phaltum to the streets of Lambert
vile this summer was taken up by
the commissioners at their meeting on
Thursday, and discussed at length
While the present members terms
will expire before the oil will likely
be applied, it is necessary to con-
tract for the work shortly in order
that supply may be secured at all.
C. T. Metcalfe, of New York, re.
presenting the Texas Company, was
present, both to seek information
concerning the results of last years
work, and consider the prospects for
this years.
He said that his company had heard
that the Texaco asphaltic oil placed
on the streets of this city last year
by the Earl-Lansdell Company, of
Hackensack, had been unsatisfactory,
and, if so, he was anxious to learn
the reason. The commissioners as
sured him that there had been no
official complaint of that kind, and
that whatever troubles there were ap-
pear to have been caused by the nine
days rain that followed the oiling.
While Mr.. Metcalf could not quote
exact figures for the heavy liquid
asphaltum, applied, as yet, it will
probably cost about 15c. per gallon,
the city to furnish and apply its own
stone covering. The total cost for all
the streets that it will be necessary
to use it upon is estimated by City
Engineer Theodore G. Kitchin to be
about $4,000 including stone, which
can be taken care of out of the
$4,000 street appropriation for this
year.
This would leave about $4,000 for
cleaning cutters, drains, and miscel-
laneous work, and $4,000 for new
stone on streets, purchasing little
over 1000 tons at present delivered
prices. This is the least possible
amount that will provide absolutely
necessary repairs, but the commission
ers did not feel justified in increasing
taxes necessary to purchase the 5000
to 1000 tons that could be used to
good advantage on the streets.
A bid for the oiling will probably
be submitted within another week OF
so.

TAKES PLACE OF EMBROIDERY
Chintz Printed in Large Design Per mits of Effect Being Gained in
 Ingenious Manner.

Lanvin has always been famous for her beautiful embroideries, notes a Paris fashion writer. Now she has chosen very simple way to ornament dress by substituting for embroid- cry a chintz printed in large design so that the effect of embroidery is gained in an ingenious manner A wide-skirted model is evolved from black taffeta. Black chfntz with a bold design in red and blue is cut in circles about four inches in diameter, or just large enough to exploit the de- sign to advantage. These motifs are then applied to the frock with an en- broidery stitch of heavy black silk The whole effect is colorful.
 Among novelties in pattern veils now being shown by leading milliners as hat garnitures are those embroid- cred in metalized straw; also in col ored embroidery in vivid shades of green. blue. yellow and red These are seen principally on sport and motor hats, being an interesting trim- ming for plain little close-fitting turbans.
