QUALITY " EEK
Quality Week is ON!

All departments are putting forth
their best efforts to knock out the
percentage of seconds. The makers
are turning out prize pairs of shoes.
Crowds gather about the score board
in front of the employment Office
whenever new totals are posted. Sew
eral merchants of the town have sent
special notes to our Correspondent
that they have observed that wives
of no less than Is different makers
have already spent their husbands
prize money in anticipation, and said
their husbands said they might do it.
John Simon's boot makers are we'll
in the lead with the average percent
age of only about 11a. They feel as
though the chief fight for them is
who is going to turn out the best
pair of boots. From the samples al
ready submitted, we know the judge
will have a hard choice.
The heavy shoe making and tennis
departments are running close race
for seroni place, with the average Of
about 6 per cent per day, and the
factory total has been dropping like
The mercury on winter morning
The White Pac makers have *
pressed the feeling that if they could
only have department by thenl-
selves, they could put nails on their
wall for the perpetual home of the
Quality Banner Because in their de-
partment they sometimes go for
weeks without Il single imperfect pair
of shoes.
The Quality Campaign has been de-
veoping some peculiar things, The
inspectors have several times wond
ere d whether il was the same group
Of makers who are turning out these
handsome competition shoes They
wonder where the neat stitchers and
smooth rollers have come from. They
wonder how it is that there aren't
any blisters in the Soles of the heavy
CATERS and the uppers of the light
gum shoes.
One tennis make whose work mt
times showed more than half seconds
turned in the most perfect pair Of
gum shoes. The light making has Il
number of unusually fine samples, in
spite of its high imperfect score. Sew

CITY SEEKS EXTENSION OF
WATER MAINS

Lambertville-- As a result Of the pc
titiou recently filed by residents of
age Hill is inside the city limits,
last Tuesday started efforts to have
city water supplied that section. Cot
ae Hilgl Hill is inside the city lidits,
but due TO its elevation, water press
ure from the reservoir was not con-
sidered sufficient to supply that point.
Several years ago it was reported
that plans had been approved by the
Water Company TO raise the dam at
the reservoir so that an added sup
ply Of water and pleasure could be
secured. But nothing ever came of it.
The Water Company franchise,
which dates back rs years, provides
exclusive rights within the city lin
its. And as Cottage Hill is in the
corporate limits of the town, it comes
under the conditions of this FRAN
chise. If the Water Company refuses
to supply water to that part of the
city, it would cancel their rights
there, and thus leave an opportunity
for the forming Of an independent or
cooperative association to supply the
demand. Cottage Hill residents are
wrought up over the neglect, and it
is thought that they will take indie
pendent action if the City Commiss-
toner's are not able to get the water.

Points Out World
Courts independence
at Institute Politics :

Wiliamstown, Mass. Aug. 19-The
independence of the Permanent
Court of International Justice was
emphasized by Baron Sergius A
koroff, former deputy governor gem
eral of Finland under the Lvoff gov
eminent, in an interview here today
preliminary to his two lectures to
be delivered this week at the In
stitute of Politics. Baron Koroff has
come directly from the Hague where
he had been studying the workings
of the court.
The court. the baron said, has TAX
en- the ground that it will not be a
dumping place for irreconcilable
cases which the council of the League
of Nations shows a tendency to turn
over to it, nor will it try cases that
are not submitted to it by both par
ties to dispute. Following the
precedent of the United States SUI
preme court, moreover, the court will
not handle cases of political ma
ture.
Baron Koroff spoke enthusiastically
of the future of the League of Ma
tions. He said that the great powers
have not yet come to- consider the
league as of great Importance. al
though they ARE increasingly aware
that it Is functioning. The small
powers set up by the peace treaty,
however, are clinging it for their very
lives, foreseeing a day in which Rus
STA and Germany will renew their old
strength and threaten to engulf the
little nations unless they are pro-
tected by the league.
