BUSES UPTOWN
Commission Grants Bus Line Per-
mission To Extend Run
Uptown

Lambertville-At the Tuesday
evening meeting of the Board of
Commissioners final approval was
given the bertville-Trenton Bus
Line to operate its busses thru GER
tain streets for the convenience of
its passengers. An ordinance provid-
ing for this was given the third and
final reading as follows:
THAT consent and permission be,
and the same is hereby granted
to John I. Wilkins, to operate pas
senger-carrying motor busses for
revenue, and to use the surface of
the streets hereafter named for
that purpose over the route designa-
ted as follows: Main street to Elm
to North Union; south to Bridge
street and back to main and south
to city line.
THAT period of time for which
the consent and permission to oper-
ate such motor busses shall be
granted, is extended and shall ter
inmate May l, 1926.
"That this ordinance shall take
effect as soon as the same has been
published according to law, and all
costs connected with the passage
and publication of the same has been
paid by the said John T. Wilkins" ;"
The ordinance was adopted by a
unanimous vote of the Commission.
Publication of the ordinance will
likely be made next week, and in
this event the new route will be
adopted promptly.

A request was received and re-
fused, asking permission to conduct
a medicine show on the streets.

ROAD REPAIRS
In HUNTERD0N

A movement is now on foot to
improve the highway from Spring
Mills, north of Milford, to Patten-
burg, via Little York. This would
connect up the Delaware Valley with
State Highway Route No. ., East
of Pattenburg.
County Engineer Grant Davis
has been directed by the Hunter
don County Board of Freeholders TO
make survey of the proposed ex-
tension, with a view to securing
state aid.
This highway would be quite a
convenience to Lambertville and
New Hope people who wish to go
into North Jersey, as they could go
up the Pennsylvania side to Upper
Blacks Eddy, thence to Milford, on
the Jersey side, and across country
to Pattenburg. On the north side
of the Musconetcong Mountain, three
miles from Pattenburg, stone road
extends northeasterly to Asbury and
Washington, where connection is
made with the main highway extend
ing to Budd's Lake and Lake Ho-
patcong. Or, the traveller may go
to Bloomsbury and Stewartsville,
where connection is made with the
same highway.
Another piece of road to be com
pleted this summer is between Mil
ford and Pittstown, the present
stone road ending at Mount Pleas
ant. Work will be started this week
and probably be completed by early
September. This will afford new
route into Clinton and North Jersey,
of about the same distance from
Lambertville as the Pennington
Whitehouse route. The Flemington-
Croton- Pittstown route, all stoned,
is shorter than either of these routes
but from Pennington to Croton the
road is terribly rough.
Either of the routes via Milford
involves the travelling up the Penn
sylvania side of the river, either to
Uhlertown or Upper Blacks Eddy.

ted by Officer Helling and Dir. Lu-
bach of Flemington, and arraig led
before Justice of the Peace OIL ler
Hoffman at Frenchtown, for a hear
ing on a charge of cruelty to an
animal. The COW died. Squire Hoff-
man fined Hance $40 and costs.
Judge Frank L. Cleary, of Som
erville, Ga former resident of Lam
bertville) has purchased the John
D. Case property, rs North Bridge
street, Somerville. The consideration
was $4,000. Judge Cleary and
family will make this their home.
Mrs. Cleary was formerly Miss An
ME Mcdonnell, of New Hope.

Odd japanese Custom
Fixing Age of Babies

japanese babies are precocious. for
they are a year old the moment they
are born, and two years old the first
New Years day, writes Carroll Y. Zim-
norman in Babyhood That is the
way the Japanese reckon age, counting
the year in which the baby is born
one, the next year two, and so on. If
you had been born in Japan lust as
the temple gong was about TO boom
L on the night of December 81. YOU
would be, according to the Japanese
mind, two years old with the first re-
sounding clang
So in Nippon, one of a pair of twins
might indeed be year older than the
other. This addition of another year
TO persons age on January /, ire
spective Of the actual month Of his
birth, came about in this way: When
IN 1870 the japanese calendar was
changed to conform to the European
months, the people at large could not
understand why they should be done
out Of their real, as opposed to the
iicial new year, and so, at the be-
ginning of February, the same thing
starts again. and everybody considers
It his duty to celebrate the occasion
just as his ancestors did.

Emu Perfect Example

lady does the counting, which consists
largely of a loud booming. The emu
IS a very irregular layer, depositing
her Dig green eggs at intervals Of
from two days to a week. No nest
Is built, and it is the duty of the
harassed male to follow her move
ments and to cover the eggs with bits
OF straw or grass, so that they may
nave at least some protection. SAYS
Lee ). Crandall in the Mentor. The
clutch varies from two to as MANY
as eighteen eggs; just how the male
keeps track of them all is still a mys-
terry. When he feels that no more are
TO follow he scoops a shallow hollow
IN the ground and gathers into it his
scattered treasures. Then he humbly
begins the process of incubation.

longest incubation period known to

a brood of chicks, might serve as a
perfect example Of motherly solicit

Advertise In The Shenandoah
Cheshire Cat" Grin
Variously Explained

The expression, ito grin like a Ches-
hire cat" has never been satisfactorily
accounted for. 1t was popularized by
Lewis Carroll In his Adventures of
Alice In Wonderland" In this pretty
story the Cheshire cat is a grinning
cat which makes its appearance to
give Alice advice. The first time the
cat suddenly disappears. But after
considerable persuasion by Alice the
cat returns and then disappears grad
ually and almost imperceptibly. The
last thing to vanish was the grin, SAYS
the Detroit News.
1t Is said that cheese originally
made In Cheshire, England, was
nodded into forms like grinning cat.
: the word Cheshire" is pronounced
"Chesh-ir," with the accent on the first
syllable and the 81" short as In airri-
tate" There is also a humorous ex-
PLANTATION of this phrase. Cheshire is
one Of those counties in England
known as counties paIatine-that is,
the count or earl has certain royal
privileges. This idea, 1t is said, is so
funny to the cats in that region that
they are perpetually amused at 1t. A
person who shows his teeth when he
iaughs is said 'to grin like Cheshire
cat" The expression is especially ap-
piled to forced or sneering smile.

Rsdbird Got Its Name
From Church Dignitary

At first thought 1t is difficult to see
the relationship between the common
redbird, or cardinal, and the hinges of
the front door. The explanation is
simple enough, however, when the
words are traced to their source. The
redbird was originally called card
inal because his plumage bore the
coloring Of the hat and cassock of a
cardinal of the Roman Catholic
church. The use of the word "cardi-
nal" as denotihg dignitary of the
church came about through the poetic
fancy Of an early pope, who spoke Of
the cardinals as "the hinges by which
all things are moved In connection
with church government. In the Latin
language "cardo, cardinis," is the
equivalent of the English "hinge"
For this reason the dignitary was
called cardinal, as signifying his
function as one of the hinges" of the
church. From this early usage card
inal' came to be applied to anything
Of prime Importance, including the
cardinal numbers, the cardinal points
Of the compass and the cardinal vir-
tues. The use Of the word as apply
ing to color came about from the
fact that the color was the striking
feature Of the dress of q cardinal.
This explains the use Of the word in
naming the redbird.
