important Announcement and Savings for Friday Shoppers
What's tn bock of the aduertisirlg?

roo OFTEN advertising is 100
 per cent advertising. or near ly so. Which is to say that the effort is put into the advertise ment rather than what is in back of it.
 You would be interested, if you could be on the inside of the Dren- neri establishment, to see how much more effort is put into hay- ing good things to advertise than is put into having good advertise meptsi
 Drennen advertising simply tries to mirror the facts It aims at putting the major part of its ef- forts into giving better values. into showing the newer things sooner. into making this better kind of store.
 And it puts the minor part of its energies into telling of these things.
 Our advertising corps meets the question. How large an adver- tisement can I hayer' with the trick of answering by another question: @What good news can you provide to advertise !' And it is interesting to know that this is Drennen policy:
 Advertise what the public wants. not what we want to get rid of"

WRECK BLOCKS
BELVIDERE ROAD

A southbouud freight train and a
northbound drill engine met head on
near Hermitage Avenue, Trenton,
Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock
blocking the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad for many hours. None of
the trainmen were injured, the crew
of the drill jumping just before the
collision, but the locomotives and
number of the cars in the freight
train were derailed and thrown down
the canal bank.
North and southbound passengers
were transferred all afternoon and
evening, the road not being finally
opened until Tuesday morning. The
commuters due in Lambertville Mt
4.40 and AID arrived about two
hours late. Some took the autobus
or trolley from Trenton, when it
was learned how serious the tie-up
seemed likely to be. The railroad
company transferred passengers by
taxis, as the location of the wreck
did not make it easy for the traveller
to walk from one train to the other
as is sometimes the case.
This was the worst tie-up of traf-
fic that the Belvidere road has ex-
perienced in number of years.

DROPPED NOW

Lambertville-Fol the re-
ceipt of bids last week by the Board
of Education for extensive improve
ments, it was found that they all
exceeded proposed expenditures, and
consequently they were all rejected.
The total low bids amounted to
$1S9, S26.50, and the total high bids
were $199,709
1t is now understood that the inn
provements at the high school will
be dropped for year or two, or
until construction prices are lower.
There is immediate need, however,
for the installation of toilets at the
Third Ward School, and the Board
is advertising for bids on this work.
Electric lights will also be installed
if the bids are reasonable enough.
When the Third Ward School,
(Which is practically new,) was built,
no provisions whatever were made
for plumbing. This has created a
serious question of sanitation. The
same conditions apply at the high
school, but the Board seems inclined
to postpone toilet installations there
until the general improvements are
made.

LINEMAN KILLED
AT STOCKTON

Charles Heller, 81 years old, of
New Hope, died Wednesday from the
effects of a fractured skull, as the
result of a fall from am electric
light pole at Stockton, ON Tuesday.
Shortly before o'clock, Heller,
who is linesman, was sent to make
adjustments in the wiring and was
proceeding with his work when the
cross-bar upon which he was sup
porting himself gave way, causing
him to plunge headlong a consider
able distance to the ground
DR.. f. w. Closson, a Lambertville
physician, was called to the scene
and found that Heller had sustained
a fracture of the skull, although no
other bones were broken. DIR. Clos
son administered such treatment as
was possible under the crcum-
stances and summoned an ambulance
in which the injured man was re-
moved to st. Francis hospital.
Heller is well-known in the vici-
nifty of New Hope. He is married and
has one child.
The funeral will be held at his
parents home in Trenton on Satur-
day.

Band Plans Free
Public Concert

ambertville-Sinee its reorgani-
cation several months ago, the Lam
bertville Band members have consi-
dered the possibility of occasional
public concerts similar to those held
in Pennington. But the older mem
bers, who played with the band be-
fore the war, have remembered the
disrepectful hearing they received
at their concerts on City Square
and have not been very enthusiastic
about repeating it.
Those who attended the old con
certs will remember that there de-
veloped a rowdy element of children
who created such disturbances dur
ing the concerts that they could not
be enjoyed by others, and the play
ers themselves were so disconnected
that they could not do their best
Efforts were made to have the police
stop the rowdyism, but without avail
It has been suggested that per
haps If the band would cooperate
with the Fire Patrol in securing
their ambulance, and provide music
for them if parade is held wher
the ambulance is received, that ir
the event of the band holding free
concert on City Square, the Fire
Patrol might turn out in uniform
and maintain order. This is not on
ly a logical suggestion, but would
develop a cooperative spirit thai
makes for success.
An early evening concert has beer
considered by the band members fol-
some time about August LIST. Ant
it is to be hoped that this will ma
terialize.

BENNINGTON
WAS DEFEATED

Pennington, the rival of Lambert
vile in every sport, was put to rout
by the local tennis club last Satur-
day by the score of to /.
Fred Massey was on rampage
and, as result of his bewildering
mixture of drives, shirs and place
ments, brought home the scalp of
Fisher, former Cornell star, by the
count of rs, 2-6, 6-3.
Hoppock, rather slow in getting
started, lost the first set but in the
next two sets he came back in a
whirlwind fashion, allowing Case,
former Colgate star, but two games.
The scores were AS, 60, 6-2.
Phil Salmon, playing with d
wrenched ankle, made an admirable
showing under such a difficulty, Civ
ing Weller a hard battle but finally
being nosed out 6-3, 7-5.
In the first doubles f. Massey and
Reading won from Fisher and Case
81, 1-6, Cd, in a three set match
replete with thrills furnished by the
driving of Massey and Fisher and
The steady playing of Reading.
Hoppock and X. Massey turned in
win over the second doubles team
of Pennington, Stryker and Glazer,
by the score of 6-3, Ga.

NesCfOsCn Cuts It's
School Taa Rate

Over in Newtown, one of Bucks
County's popular centers, taxes are
being reduced this year, zoe. to the
800 of assessed valuation, by the
Board of Education.
Additional features are being adj
ded to the schools, hut the board
announces the reduction as being due
to the successful collection of taxes
and the prompt payment by the
state of its share toward the local
schools. For several years prior to
Governor Pinchot's entry into Penn
sylvania affairs, the state was away
behind in its payments, keeping the
local taxing districts in hot water
most of the time. Efficiency in
this respect has proven unpopular
with the practical politicians, how
ever.

VALLEY FORGE
HARD TO REACH

Travellers from Lambertville and
New Hope to Norristown or points
beyond, in Pennsylvania, are in as
bad way nearly, at present, rs
travellers to Morristown, N. j., bot tn
being replete with detours and han
dicaps.
The burning of the second and last
of the covered bridges spanning the
Schuylkill River at Norristown iso-
lates that place from the west shore.
The Ford Street bridge burned last
Thursday evening, killing one fire
man and badly frightening many
people who We're nearly caught on
the structure when it suddenly burst
into flame. The DeKalb Street
structure. which has been crossed
by many local automobilists on their
way to Valley Forge, or to Chester
and Lancaster county points, was
destroyed by fire on April Ia. A
new concrete structure, to replace it
has been contracted for at cost
of $4,000, and will be open for
traffic on October 1, 1925. A tenn
porary bridge, to serve in place of
both structures, is now being erected
and will be open for travel on Sep
TENDER 10.
To add to the troubles, the bridge
from Betzwood to Port Kennedy,
four miles West of Noristown, is
being repaired, as we'll as the road
leading to it. This necessitates a
trip of eleven miles to Phoenixville,
if one bankers to cross the Schuyl-
kill above Norristown. The next
crossing point, nearest by, is at
Conshohocken, where an enormous
concrete viaduct spans the river.
However, big as this is, its capacity
is being taxed on Sundays, and the
streets in West Conshohocken are
narrower than the main street of
Conshohocken proper, so that serious
traffic problems are already arising.
West bound travellers from this
section to Valley Forge will help re-
lieve some of the congestion by US
ing the Conshohocken bridge one
way and the Phoenixville bridge the
other. The extra travelling will be
but few miles.
The closing of the Doylestown-
Norristown road between New Brit
ain and Chalfont, where concrete is
being laid, has proven bothersome to
quite a number of local people, es-
pecially after shower.
Travellers going to NorristoWn or
beyond had better go down either
the York or Easton roads, via Hors-
ham and Three Tuns, to Plymouth
Meeting and Conshohocken, or turn
at Harmonville to reach Norristown.
Travellers to Chalfont, or to Forest
Park, at Chalfont, will find bet
ter route by going to New Britain
| and turning to the right, to the first
left-hand road, about mile out,
and thence to Forest Park direct,
keeping to the left at any turn that
it becomes necessary to go either
