STRAND-AMERICA

At the Strand Theatre, Monday

historic Virginia hamlet of Revelu-

scenes for America"
And now Yorktown wants to be-
come second Hollywood.
Historic houses, standing since
1910, formerly pointed out to visit
ors as the places where Washington
slept, ate, or visited, are now
proudly exhibited as the mansions
where Griffith took such and such a
scene with various local dignitaries
Revolutionary descendants-as act
ors.
The quaint old churcn, practically
unchanged since the first service
was held there in the early '70s is
today locally more famous as the
place where Griffith and his staff
attended Sunday service than as
the meeting house where Washing
tons staff once knelt in prayer.
Even the departure Of Griffith and
his cohorts failed to bring normally

ambitious hamlet. For its people
gone movie mad, are convinced it is
to become a motion picture centre

SEX ATTRACTION

Not long ago the railroads, in
desire to cater to the greater com
fort cf ladies, tried the plan Of
sleeping coaches exclusively for the
use of feminine travellers, but il
was quickly found that the inno-
walton was far less popular than
expected. Now comes the announce
ment that $10,0OO,0oO hotel strict
ly for bachelors, in New York City,
and hailed as AN adventure in
masculine contentment," is TO alter
its policy and admit both men and
women as guests. So there could
be no permanent contentment of
either sex without the company
of the other.
There seems to be something in
the contention of a witty writer
that if Adam and Eve separately
had been expelled from the Garden
of Eden the remaining partner
would have found way out, too.-

MINISTER REPLIES To

Rev f. E. Purcell, pastor of Cen

whom scurrilous editorial appear
ed in last weeks Beacon, makes
the following reply to the false
charges contained in it:
There were $50 people present
at the patriotic meeting conducted
at my church on October 10th, and
AS of them will testify that the
Beacon's charges that my remarks
We're violently vindictive' are abso-
lutely false. consistently stated
that people who come to this coun-
try to seek its benefits and protec-
ton should renounce their allegiance
to any foreign power. urged true
Americanism upon those who seek
suffrage in this country, JUST AS

any organization that seeks to con-

Nmrogoly Escape
Death As Auto
Is Overturned

iambertville George Croft, en-
gineer of the Lambertville Laun-
dry, had narrow escape from
death with party of friends last
Thursday night when his auto over
turned on the Rivr Road, Pennsyl.
gania side. Those accompanying Mr.
Croft We're Theodore Cox, of North
Main street, Harry Heller, of Dele
van street, John Peto, Of Coryell
street, and a Mr.. Campbell.
The party had left here for a
trip up the Pennsylvania side of
the Delaware River after nightfall.
Mr.. Croft, not being. familiar with
the road was suddenly confronted
with one Of the sharp, dangerous
curves where the road turns abb
ruptly over canal bridge. And
in attempting to make the turn the
rear Of the ear swung around and
slid from the road. As it slipped
from off the crown of the rodd il
turned over TO the right, swinging
completely over and coming to rest
on the wheels. It would have turned
again down hte embankment, but
the rear left wheel caught in a
tree and held it.
The top was completely demolish-
ed, and it was miracle that no one
of the party was injured. Beyond a
few slight scratches they have
nothing to show for their hair-rais-
ing experience. The ear was lowed
in, and will have to have consider
able overhauling.

TRUCK STRIKES
JOSEPH MELICK

Joseph Melick, foreman of streets
in Lambertville, suffered broken
hip last Friday when he was struck
by the truck of Samuel Metzler, of
Trenton, at York street and Grant
Avenue. Mr.. Melick, together with
force of men, were working on
the replacement of bridge, at that
point, for the county, when the ac-
cident occurred.
II appears that the truck driver,
who was hauling load of junk,
turned out for the men, but swung
back into line too quick, striking
Mr. Melick on the left hip, throwing
him to the ground, breaking his
right hip 1t is believed that the
mud guard struck him, in swinging
back, as other men, closer to the
road, were untouched.
Mr.. Melick was taken to his home
at Main and Delavan streets, where
he received medical attention, and
is now resting fairly comfortable
He has been in charge of the street
work since Walter f. Hayhurst was
made commissioner, and has been
instrumental in cleaning them up
and placing them in good shape.
Mr.. Melick, who is well along in
years, was for long time well
:nown Delaware Township farmer,
owning a large place at Rosemont.
He sold this six years ago and moved
to this city, erecting a bungalow at
Main and Delavan streets.
A wide circle of friends, both in
this city and the surrounding coun-
try, have called upon him or sent
messages of sympathy, and hope
that he will fully recover from his
injuries.
