BUSINESS IS
PICKING UP
REPORTS FROM INDUSTRI-
AL MAGAZINES POINT
TO INCREASED
BUSINESS

The Lambertville Rubber Comp
any is planning extensive repairs and
improvements on their plant that is
calculated to assure them of a pro-
duct unexcelled in their line. The de-
tails of these Improvements are not
available for publication, but they
are of enough importance to warrant
optimism. The Universal Paper Bag
and Union Mills are running on full
time
Charles M. Dilts, of the New Jer-
sey Rubber Co. says that although
they are running only half time, that
business is much better than six
months ago. The rubber market has
of course been hit harder than any
other industry. Six months ago good
rubber was selling at Ice a pound less
than it cost to grow it. There is now
a DC improvement in the price.
Mr.. Walter Thomas, speaking for
Smith & Sons, Inc. hair pin manu-
facturers, says they are not only
running full time, but have a night
shift working. He says the outlook
is extremely optimistic.
The following instances of the up
ward trend are encouraging. 1t means
that the country is slowly getting on
its commercial feet.

NEWTOWN GIRL
FAKES HOLDUP

The sensational story of a brutal
hold up, in which Miss Stella Velly
claimed to have been attacked by a
negro on a farm near Newtown, beat
en-, tied and gagged and left roped to
gas stove whose burners had been
turned on to asphyxiate her, was eX-
ploded as a fake by Corporal Banks
of the Pa. State Constabulary. He
first became suspicious when he was
called on the case, and noted that
there were no gas fumes in the house.
Upon cross questioning her, Miss Vel
ly finally admitted that she concoct-
ed the story in the hope that the
movie managers might be attracted
to her, and give her job on the films.
She said she tied herself and disar-
ranged the furniture so as to indi-
cate a struggle. Then she called the
telephone operator for help. She said
that the scratches and bruises on her
face and body had been made by her
own hands.
Such desperation and extremes Of
,scheming even to her own personal
bodily discomfort deserves some re-
ward, and perhaps We'll see her after
all in a serial similar to "The Perils
of Pauline"

COUNTRIES DE-
Fly CONFERENCE

1.-TWO governments have announced
l. that they will not be bound by any
agreements reached by the Washing
ton conference. Neither is represent
ed in that meeting. First came def
ance from Moscow, the soviet rulers
declaring they not only would not rec
ognize the decisions of the conference,
but would adopt all means to defeat
them. Next in this line Of action was
DR.. Sun Vat Sens southern China
government. Ma 500, representative
of Doctor Sun in America, departed
from Washington after announcing
that the government Of southern China
would fight any plan for the settle
ment of China's affairs that Is accept
ed by the official Chinese delegation
to the conference. For the time be-
Ing, the latter case may be the more
important of the two, but the time
will come when Russias power and
interests in the Orient will have to be
taken into account.
Tchitcherin, soviet foreign minis
ter, says RusSia'S policies are now OIL
rected only by economic interests, and
not by doctrines, and Russia is well
coming vociferously every indication
of the investment of foreign capital.
Premier Lenin is predicting that the
chase for gold will lead to war be-
tween America and Japan or Ameri-
ca and Great Britain in 1925 or 1928.
The soviet announced 1t had succeed
ed in suppressing the revolt in the
Ukraine, led by General Petlura, part
ly because the inhabitants of that re-
gion refused to aid the revolutionists.
But this was contradicted by later adj
vices.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Conference on Armaments and
Far East Questions Is For
maIIy Opened.
HUGHES IS MADE CHAIRMAN
Nations Pay Tribute to Americas Un-
known Soldier on ArmistIce Day
Senate Passes Tax Revision Bill
Elections Of Week Please
Democrats.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

G. ATURDAY, November IL, may, and
~ 1t is to be hoped will, be set apart
In the history of the world as one of
Its most momentous dates. On that
day was formally opened In Washing
ton the conference on limitation of
ornaments and Far East questions
which, If 1t is successful, will go far
toward curing some of the worst ills
of what we are pleased to call civili-
cation. The projectors of, and partici-
pants in, this meeting do not enter
tain the illusory hope that it will re-
suit Immediately, or even soon, in the
Rbolishing of warfare, but they do be-
iieve, and the world trusts, that their
deliberations and agreements will settle
peaceably the tangled affairs Of the
Pacific and the Orient, and so far cut
the great powers that the tax-burdened
peoples will experience a tremendous
financial relief, and the threat of an
other general or even important war
will be far removed.
1t was in the handsome auditorium of
the Continental Memorial hall that the
opening session of the conference was
held. When Secretary of State Hughes
arose to call 1t to order, he faced the
most distinguished assemblage of men
and women this country ever has seen.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan,
Belgium, Holland and China had sent
each some of her most eminent states
TO
acknowledged of the first rank. At
ter the delegates were the extensive
advisory STATS, and, of course, the dip
lomatic corps was there In full force.
The members of the senate and house,
invited guests and other privileged
persons filled the hall to overlooking
Mr.. Hughes, in opening the confer
ence, welcomed formally the foreign
delegates, and stated briefly the oh
jects of the gathering. President Hard
ing then stepped forward and, after
the storm of applause had subsidized, he
told more at length of the hopes and
purposes that had led him to invite
the powers to this conference. He
spoke persuasively and well even the
most pess1mist1c OF his hearers could
rot help but feel that there was a
fair chance that those hopes would be
realized.
After the formalities, the confer
ence organized for business, Secretary
Hughes being elected chairman, and
other officers being chosen. Adjourn
ment was taken until Monday.
One great figure was absent from
the opening of the conference-David
Lloyd George premier of Great Brit
ain, Kept at home for the present by
the Irish negotiations and the unem-
ployment situation, he cabled to the
government the assurance that he
would sail for Washington as soon as
possible.

Lambertvine Has
Wireless Phone

Much has been said and written
about wireless telephony, but it re-
manned for Nelson Rittenh0use to
bring it closer home in a practical
way. After several months of study
and experiment, he had devised and
built a practical instrument along the
lines of those developed by the Bell
Telephone engineers. Wireless phone
sets are now being manufactured and
sold, but Mr., Rittenhouse built his
own in a very thorough way. The in
strument operates with aerial wires
just like wireless telegraph aerials.
The aerial is stretched above the Rit-
tenhouse building at the corner of
N. Union and Coryell SITS. The in
strument constructed by Mr.. Ritten-
house is for receiving alone. His OBJ
ject in building it was primarily to
hear the musical concerts now being
transmitted from all the large cities,
Already these have been heard from
Philadelphia, New York and Pitts
burg.

Activities OF Junior
Order In Lambertvine

Lambertville Council No. 81 Jr. o.
U. A. M. held a very enthusiastic
meeting on Tuesday evening. There
was a good attendance present, but
the members are satisfied that more
of the brothers should attend the
meetings and learn the work, and
also help the Council in carrying out
the principles of the order.
1t has become necessary, due to
lack OF interest on the part of some
of the members, to call for a COM
plete reorganization of the Degree
Team. A committee is arranging to
carry this work through to the limit
next Tuesday evening, and all bro
theirs who are interested in becoming
members of the Degree Team should
be on hand Tuesday night. All will
be given chance to make good.
The Past Councillors organization
has again been revived, and it is the
wish of the Council that all Past
Councillors will turn out at the meet
ings and thus put some new pep in
the workings of the order. We have
had some good rallys in the past few
weeks, and now let's every member
make it point to have next week be
our banner week for attendance.
There will be some interesting sub
jects discussed at our next meeting
so the committees in charge of the
various interests of the Council are
depending on a large turnout.

Tax Revision
Bill Passed

a T THE close of a fifteen-hour ses-
"A sion, the senate passed it's YER
sion of the tax-revision bill, and on
Thursday the conference committee
began its task. The Republican sin
surgents" in the lower house, who ia
vor the senate maximum surtax rate
of 90 per cent, forced an agreement
that the house would be given
chance to vote on that feature before
the conferees reached final decision
on it. The insurgents" claimed to
have from 80 to So votes, which. with
The votes of the Democrats, would be
enough to accept the senate rate.
The bill, as passed by the senate, is
estimated by Treasury experts to yield
about s., 250,0O0,OOO for the fiscal year
ending June 30 next, or S200,0O0000
less than the existing law. But ulti-
mately 1t would reduce the nations tax
bill by approximately S750,0oo,O0O.

INDICATION OF
OFFICER MORSE

Lambertville- During the time last
Sunday when a special officer from
the Motor Vehicle Department was
aprehending speeders along the newly
paved section of S. Main ST., some
small boys were given signs markes
Speed Trap" and sent outside tbs
southern limits of the town to war;
motorists. One of these motorists
took one of the signs from small
boy and threw it into the car of the
special officer, because the boy who
had been holding it was so small he
was in constant danger of being run
down, 1t has been enormously re
ported that Officer Morse, who had
been requisitioned by the special Of
ficer, had taken the sign from the boy
and torn it up and threw it into the
canal In signed statement, Officer
Morse disclaims this as absolutely
false and that he did not even have
the sign in his hands.
Some one has tried to make an is
sue of the affair, claiming that Of
ficer Morse could be prosecuted for
the Offence" CD But even if he had
taken the sign las he certainly did
mott he would have been within his
authority, and could have jailed the
one carrying the sign on the charge
of interfering with an officer. But
officer Morse's position in the matter
was that of cooperation of a STATE
Officer in fulfilling his duty. Several
speeders were caught and fined, as
they should have been. The new paw
ing seems to be too great temptat-
ion for some motorists. 1t is hoped
that last Sundays fines viii be suf
ficient warning to others.

Elections Favor
Democrats

ELECTIONS held last week In vari-
~ GUS parts of the country were
highly pleasing to the Democrats,
though the most talked-of contest, in
New York city, really was not much
influenced by party politics. There
Mayor HyIan, Tammany candidate,
was reelected, having a tremendous
plurality over Curran, the coalition
candidate. Hylan stood for scent
street car fare and for local self-gov-
eminent with which the Republican
state assembly was trying to interfere.
In Kentucky the Democrats regained
control of the legislature In Maryland
they increased their control; in Vir-
ginia they elected E. Lee Trimble for
governor and the entire state ticket.
