A drive on local liquor establish
ments. many known as speakeasies,
was started by Police Chief Niels ].

fine of $40 was paid by him.
In addition to the New Brunswick
avenue dives two liquor estab-
lishments on Ambo- avenue. one on
oak street and one on Fayette street
were entered by the raiders. There

START LAYING CONCRETE
IN SMITH STREET TODAY

Work of laying the concrete for
the new pavement on the north side
of Smith street began at the inter-
section of Smith street New Bruins
wick avenue shortly before noon to-
day. 1t is the intention of Graham
&s McKeon. the contractors to rush
the completion of the street in order
that it will be ready for the Christ
mas shoppers. For the past few
days men have been at work remov-
ing the excess dirt from the excava-
tion and no time was then lost in
preparing The street for the con-
crete base over which the asphalt top
is to be spread.
Although the weather is near the
freezing point. the contractors are
using an anti-freezing mixture which
keeps the concrete from freezing.
1t was learned today that within two
hours after the concrete has been
poured it sets sufficiently so that no
matter how cold the weather may be
1t will not be damaged by frost.
Places where ice had frozen in the
excavation were covered with salt
yesterday and this soon melted the
ice. after which the water disap-
peared in the earth.
According to City Engineer Louis
p. Booz, Jr., today the paving of the
street will continue unless a snow
or rain sets in. If 1t should storm
the work would be held up until the
weather cleared. 1t Is estimated that
it will be at least ten days after the
|concrete has been laid before the TOP
surface of asphalt can be spread.

FUNDAMENTALS OF ROTARY
EXPLAINED BY TRIANGLES

An inspiring talk on Rotary was
given by Robert Hatfield, of the
Newark Rotary Club, before the
Perth Amboy Rotarians at their
weekly luncheon at the New Packer
House today. Bob, as he is known
among Rotarians. drew number
of triangles on a blackboard each
one representing some phase of a
mans life, and he showed how they
all fit into Rotary. He started with
the fundamental" part of Rotary,
with the accent on the mental
part of the word, and not so much
on the fun. He tnen outlined all
sides of life linking them up with
Rotary in an interesting manner. 1t
was the same old story. as Bob
explained it. only in different words
and called by a different name. Ro-
tary is what each man makes of it,
and unless he makes that which Is
worth while he is not Rotarian.

MUSCLE SHOALS PROBLEM
DEBATED IN THE SENATE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The task
of finding a solution for the long
debated Muscle Shoals problem con-
fronted the senate today, az. .unani-
nous consent agreement reached at
the last session giving the question
right of way.
In efforts to reach common
ground on which the various factions
can stand, there Is a general dispo-
sition to look to the White House
for guidance. Leaders of the forces
supporting the numerous. proposals
for disposition of the Muscle Shoals
property generally feel that nothing
can be accomplished now without
the ADMINISTRATORS support.
Unless the president takes the sit
uation in hand, there Is a possibility
that debate on the subject will ex-
tend over several days. with chance
of it's ending in a virtual deadlock.
Senators approached the task of a
solution with widely divided views,
and with some, on the other hand,
having no definite convictions.
/ The president is known to favor
the lease or sale of the property and
the appointment of commission of
senate and House members author

If his suggestion is pressed in the
senate, sufficient votes probably
could be mustered to carry 1t.
The Underwood plan was laid be-
I fore President Coolidge today by
Senators Curtis, Republican leader,
and Mckinley, Republican, Illinois.
The president was asked to give
an opinion on the Underwood bill,
but it was said he would not express
himself until experts In the war de-
partment had reported on the meas

Most of these related to domestic
affairs, but the President went in
to the field on international rela-
tions to renew his plea for Amer
lean adherence to the Permanent
Court of International Justice; to de-
clare the United States not to be dis
posed to join the League of Nations;
to appeal for support by public au-
thorities and private citizens for the
European reparations settlement
plan, and to repeat his decl. IT, n
of opposition to cancellation by the
United States of the debts owed the
country by foreign nations.
Two new pronouncements marked
the Presidents discussion of foreign
affairs. One touched on reduction
of world armaments, and the other
had reference to the outlawing of
war.
1T has been and is my expectation
that we might hopefully approach
other great powers for further con-
ference on this subject as soon as
the carrying out of the present rep
aration plan as the established and
settled policy of Europe has created
favorable opportunity" he said
with regard to armament reduction.
