Holiday Dance
For Woodbridge

WOODBRIDGE, Dec. 26.-Al-
though the dance planned by st.
Ellzabeth's Unit of Trinity Episco-
pal church does not come until Fri
day, January 4, 1t nevertheless is a
holiday dance and will prove a gala
event. s
The exceptionally fine music pro-
vided for the dance on November 30
by Tom Cooper's Country Club or
chestra proved so captivating that
the orchestra was selected by unani-
mons request of those present that
night for the next possible date. This
orchestra is so constantly in demand
that January 4 proved to be the
first night they could be secured.
Their music is right up to the min
ute and the return to melody most
pleasing. Mrs. e. r. Valentine is
chairman of the dance committee
and tickets may be secured from her
or members of the st. Elizabeth's
Unit.

STRONGER COAST GUARD
NOW BEING CONSIDERED

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-Reinforoe-
ment of coast guard rum blockade
with shipping board craft, navy de-
stroyers, eagle boats of subma-
rine chasers would be impractical
and uneconomical. says Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon in a letter re-
ceived today by H. c. Crist, editor
of the Brooklyn Eagle. s7 nae
The government contemplates
strengthening the coas guard, Mr..
Mellon says, mot only for work in
connection with the prevention of
smuggling, but also for relief and
rescue work at sea-" He expresses a
belief, however, that new and spe-
feially designed craft must be built
FOR that purpose.
Mr.. MELONS letter was in reply to
a suggestion he received from Crist
that vessels of the navy or the ship
ping board not now in use might be
turned over to the coast guard for
use, in stemming the illegal flow of
liquor from the sea Such an ar
rangement Mr.. sCrist believed, would
make 1t unnecessary for Mr.. Mellon
to ask congress for an %appropria-
ton for coast guard cutters.
The treasury department and the
commandant OF the coast guard have
studied the practicability, from
technical and economic standpoints
of transferring certain classes of
naval vessels to the coast patrol SER
vice. Mr.. Mellon says.
Although it Is generally known. he
says. hat the navy has a considera-
BILE number of idle destroyers these
crafts. 800 feet OF more in length.
$4,000 horse power and 81 knots
speed, would cost too much to put
into commission and operate as rum
chasers, and would be too light for
regular coast guard duty.
