ACT On LIGHTS
At ROOSEVELT
New Fixtures Placed by Pub
lie Service Object to Com
plant at Meeting

ROOSEVELT, March 23.-Com-
plant was made at the council meet
ing on Tuesday night concerning the
new lights placed in the borough
by the Public Service Company. 1t
was held by the light committee that
on the first night the lights were
turned on they were a great i'm
provement yer the old system, but
on the second night the power had
been reduced making the new sys-
tenn no better than the old. 1t was
decided to have the lights tested and
for the light committee TO make a
tour of the borough some night in
the near future IN order to see
where new lights are most needed.
The finance committee reported
that through its efforts a bill had
been put through the legislature
making it possible for the borough
TO include a sum not exceeding $15.-
900 in the budget for next year TO
be used for the purpose of erecting
a soldiers and sailors memorial.
Two ordinances were passed on
their third and final readings. One
of these was for the operation of
buses in the borough and the other
for the acceptance of the streets on
the Gantz property as shown on the
map of the property filed in the
county clerks Office at New Bruns-
wick.
A representative of the BUS Asso-
citation was present and desired in
formation regarding the route to be
used by the buses operating to Rah-
way. Acting Mayor William J..
Law1or stated that the council
would hold another meeting on
Monday night for the purpose Of
regulating bus traffic and selecting
routes.

Rip Ditmas Feature

Cecil B. De Mile. famous Para
mount production, Fools Paradise
at the Ditmas is a magnificent pic
ture and it may be maintained that
it is one of the best he has thus far
presented to an admiring motion
picture public.
The theme, as handled by Beulah
Marie Dix and Sada Cowan, ana
suggested by Leonard Merrick's not
able story, 1.-THE Laurels and the
Lady" is one of absorbing appeal
while the production in point OF
direction, setting and acting is as
ar above the average motion picture
as the tropical sun is different from
the Arctic moon. 1t Is a succession
Of surprises. dramatic moments that
grow in intensity as they follow
each other on the screen, and the
character portrayals are gems OF
nlimetic art.
The story deals with the o v OF
an American soldier for a French
dancer who later meets an Amerl-
can girl in a Mexican cantina whose
love he spurns. Through blindness
which later to him because
of a silly act on the part of the lat
ter girl, he marries her in the BELIEF
that she is the French girl. He re-
covers his sight, annuls the marriage
and III his search for the Frencf
cirl il lead to siam where she proves
ey|worthlessness and forces hin
ieIseek his former wife with whom
he finds happiness. Dorothy Daltol
is the American dancer. Mildred
Harris the French girl, and Conrad
Nagel leading man. Important roles
are in the capable hands of Theo'
dore Kosloff, John Davidson ant
Julia Faye.
The program also includes a won
derful musical comedy, with man
singing and dancing d
Miss Mary Keane and her Love Mes
GirlieS.

could. The next morning when It
was time to unload them, the guests
declined to pack up. mot at ALL
they said. "Oh we wouldn't think
Of leaving q place we enjoy 90
much" and they stayed the week.
In some instances the teachers, on
leaving at the end of the week, made
application for the same shelter in
1922, and said, well, we're coming
anyway, and we hope you will not
turn US away"
In one place there was play
room in the basement, and when
that was mentioned by the guests in
the house, talking with their friends
at the meeting, those friends were
so keen to have the gang all together
that they piled into the play room
and made beds on the floor and had
q great time. Rooms did not count
with them; 1t was the gang idea that
prevailed.
These are some Of the extreme
cases, and somebody had to put up
with them. 1t was part Of the cir
cumstances that irritated people at
Pocatello and made them lose the
institute to Blackfoot. They got to

grew into discourtesy. What we
should do at Blackfoot is to accom-
modate ourselves to the things we
cannot remedy, and keep the in
shutters pleased. 1t Is q benefit to
the town and county, and like the
fair, 1t is some trouble, but it i'm

II you are living In Blackfoot,
and committee asks you to do
something, Danish the idea that 1t
is for the committee that you are to
do it; 1t is for the town. The COM
mittee members are doing their
share and donating their service be-
sides. 1t is not q favor to the COM
mittee for you to respond, the COM
mittee members are doing you a
favor to take time from their own
work to 60 and ask you for what is
needed from you. The whole town
should work as q team, and IL you
find yourself merely horse in the
team, that is all that anybody else
is. II each one takes his or her as
signment and does It the way the
committee wants 1t, the result will
be team work and success.

it was finished some time ago. Since
its completion the state and federal
government engineers, by numerous
daily observations, have been measur-
ing the effect of heat, cold, moisture,
and other elements upon its surface
and on the subgrade. These observa-
lions have been taken on So sections,
and much information has been oh.
tanned which will be valuable in build
ing roads in the future.
This information Is Of the utmost
value. Knowing the conditions OF
traffic which are to be met. 1t will af.
ford means by which a proper paving
can be selected to meet those con.
ditions. It may-lead to the saving Of
millions of dollars each year by pre-
venting the construction Of pavements
that are found to he incapable Of re
sisting modern traffic.
Why some types Of pavement fai
and others hold up will be largely
determined by the test. Why a road

and all cracks noted. In addition, .
considerable number Of cracks have
been measured by a micrometer.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Some time within the next few
months new road ~ miles long is to
be broken up in what is probably the
most extensive study Of road service
ever undertaken In the United States.
The road Is located In Illinois, about IL
miles southwest Of Springfield, and
parallels the Walsh railroad. In the
test road there are no curves. The
grades vary from zero to f0ur-tenths Of
per cent, with an average grade Of
one-tenth Of per cent, the maximum
and minimum grades extending over
very short distances. The subgrade soil
is uniformly brown, silt loan, except
for two small stretches where It more
nearly approaches gumbo. ,.S
There are seven general types Of paw
ing in the road, the idea being to
have represented the chief materials
used In road making, SO that engineers
may study the effect Of known and
measured traffic Of varying degree upon
each kind Of road. The seven types
are:
Portland cement concrete.
Three and four inch lug brick con-
structed monOlithic and with Port
land cement concrete base.
Three and four inch lug brick con-
structed senlimonolithic and with a
Portland cement concrete base.
Three and four inch bituminous filled
lug and lugless brick on Portland ce-
ment concrete base.
Three and four inch bituminous filed
lug and lugless brick on macadam
base.
Asphaltic concrete with and withou,
binder course on macadam base.
The road, known as the Bates ex-
perimental road, was constructed by
the division Of highways, Illinois de-
partment of public works and build
ings, in cooperation with the bureau

employed extra help and engaged
supplies, and the several groups of
church workers served on such a
large scale that 1t left the restaurant
people merely looking on, altho they
had been assessed lump sums to pay
the institute expenses. It was a
bad week for them, and the COM
mittees are planning to protect them
this time.
The meat markets and grocery
men were also assessed for institute
expenses, and much of the extra
food supplies for the teachers were
bought by the church groups, and
they 60 to the meat markets and
grocery men and ask for special
prices because 1t is for the benefit
Of the church, and by the time they
get done seeking bids, those sup
plies are furnished by somebody at
little or no profit. The churches, Of
course, are not assessed, but the
meat markets and grocery men al
ways are and they pay in advance,
so there Is no chance to protect
themselves. The finance committee
have these things under considers

parties will play the business game
fairly. t'9 10 f
What We Learned
Last year we learned several
things about teachers and how they
do when out for week. Some Of
them went to their rooms and were
satisfied with the rooms, but were q
bit lonesome and wished they were
near some Of their cronies so they
could visit. On meeting their
friends and learning that there was
room for all in one home or one
block, some of them grabbed their
baggage and moved without con-
sidering the hostess, and her feel
ings. Teachers are just grown-up
children, and some Of them do these
thoughtless things, thinking only Of
their own pleasure, and we have to
accept them as they are and not al
ways as we would like to have them.
In some instances funny things
happened. Senator and Mrs. Whit
comb were just moving into their
house, and had not expected guests.
Much to their surprise, half dozen
young fellows arrived with their
baggage and the message that the
Whitcomb home must shelter them.
Whitcombs thought it was an emer-
gency, did not know that other
homes were prepared for guests that
did not come, and they consented to
keep them till morning or until
places could be found for them.
They made beds on the floor and
