Bear Mountain Span
Opened to Public
Yesterday 7 a. m

The new Bear Mountain bridge
across the Hudson river was traversed
by several thousand motor cars on
Thanksgiving Day, when the great
span and the Anthony's Nose High
way. three miles long, was opened for
traffic.
The weather was clear, and more
than the usual amount of automobile
traffic on both sides of the river was
handled, as many motorists were anx-
ious to say they were among the first
to cross the new bridge. The bridge
was opened at 7 a. m.
An official and private inspection of
the bridge was held last Wednesday.
Many state and city officials and high.
way engineers were present at the
event. After a trip across the bridge,
starting from Peekskill, the visitors
were entertained at luncheon at the
Bear Mountain Inn by the Bear Noun
tain and Hudson River Bridge Com
pany.
The toll rates are so cents for an
automobile of wheel base up to 100
inches, including the driver, and 81
for larger cars. The toll for extra
passengers will be Is cents, except
that 10 cents will be charged for chill
dren.

SHOP EARLY AND MAIL

OFFICE HEAD To PUBLIC
Avoid Last Minute Rush So Pos
tai Clerks May Enjoy Christ
mas Dinner in Their Homes.

Last year, through the cooperation
of the press, the movies and other ad
vertising mediums, Christmas mailers
were induced to dispatch their Yule-
tide presents earlier in the month
than ever before in the history of
the institution of gift exchanging in
the holiday season.
AS result, the spectacle of the last
minute rush of former years, with its
attendant heartbreaking labor on the
part of wearied and nerve worn
store clerks and postal employees,
was avoided.
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral John H. Bartlett have determined
to make an even better record and to
Danish for all time the suffering un.
dergone in past years by those en-
gagged in the sale or transportation of
gifts. They hope to make "Shop
Early" and Mail Early" a habit with
the American people.
Mailing early does not mean Decem.

get their holiday tokens in the mail
between December 10 and December
20, the postoffice could not ask more.
Particular attention this year will
be paid to greeting cards. Despite

Two Held by Police
After Fire Caused
By Still on Sunday

When Mrs Josephine Samsel of 267
Nagel street, Cliffside returned from
New York on Sunday night she found
her home in flames, which resulted
from carelessness on the part of a
roomer, Louis Walski, who, it is alleg-
ed, set fire to the place while attempt
ing to operate still which Mrs. Sam
sci admits belongs to her.
A police investigation showed that
the fire was started when Walski, who
is said to have been in an intoxicated
condition, tried to manufacture a
quantity of whisky in a small still.
The oil lamp which was used to heat
the mash mixture was lighted and
placed about foot away from a feath-
er bed in room occupied by Mrs.
Samsel. The oil on the edge of the
lamp is thought to have become ig-
nited, causing the lamp to burst into
flames The mattress caught fire and,
although Walski endeavored to extin-
guish it, his condition was such that
he was unsuccessful
Walski was arrested by Patrolman
McAvoy when he tried to go back into
the house as the firemen were fighting
the flames. Three large tubs of bar
ley mash were found and confiscated
by the police, together with the still.
Mrs. Samsel, who is a widow is be-
ing held by the police under $500 bail
for the illegal possession of the still,
which was found in her rooms shortly
after the fire and to which she admit
ted ownership.

fore, it is possible that the many
mailers hold them until the last to
insure delivery on Christmas Eve.
This class of mailers this year, how
ever. may find their cards undelivered
until after Christmas Day.
Believing that the energies OF pos
tai employees should not be sapped to
the last degree for any avoidable rea-
son, and, intent upon securing LOT
them the same Christmas privileges
enjoyed by others, Postmaster Gen
eral New asks the hearty cooperation
of the public. The last-minute, or
zero hour has been moved up so that
all postal employees may eat their
Christmas dinners at home. Christ

city offices will stop work promptly at
noon.

Pretty LEGEND of Diamond

Diamonds are the favored stones for
betrothal rings, says tradition, because
the man who discovered the art of cut
ting and polishing the diamond made
fortune and was thus enabled to wed
the maiden of his choice. The man
was Louis de Berquem, a native of
Flanders, who was clerk to jeweler
of Bruges In 1470, and who. so the
story goes, had revealed to him In 2

titled by cutting.

The women of the imperial city Of

raise boards like their brothers and

1t appears, however, that the men Of

that was passed to prevent women

TELEPHONE RECEIVERS
IMPROPERLY REPLACED

Sometimes after telephone con.
versation people replace the receiver
on tie hook hurriedly and uninten
tiOnally allow it to rest on a book or
some other object which prevents ii
from bearing the hook all the way
down. When this happens the light on
the switchboard does not flash to
notify the operator that the CONVEX
sation has finished, but rather the
operator receives the same signal as
she does when the person wishes Ia
make another call.
When a subscriber Improperly re
places his telephone receiver in this
manner, other subscribers cannot call
him because it is impossible for the
operator to ring the telephone bell
When a case of this kind occurs,
however, the operator perceiying that
something is wrong, tries to attract the
attention of the subscriber whose re
ceiver has been improperly replaced by
applying the "howler," which sends

Ionkin Lace Industry
Has GrouUn Important

About 1000 men, women and chill
dren of Tonkin, Indo- China. are now
engaged in the manufacture of lace in
that city, which is the llce-producine
center of the country. The manufac-
ture of lace in lndo-China was begun
only 70 years ago, according to Consul
L. l.. Smith, who is at Saigo, but
number of well known STYLES are pro-
dueed there. Among them are era.
ponna, cluny, Venice, Irish and hlet
The tlet laces are particularly
popular in France, but the other kinds
are not being produced so successfully.
Thus far the natives have not been
taught by the French to make Bruges
or Valenciennes laces.
All the designs for the kinds of lace
made in Tonkin are furnished by ex
port houses, the natives having none
of their own. The laces manufactured
in the villages are either sold in the
hotels and cafes or used locally. All
the lace exported to France is made
to order.
ut is difficult to determine the i'm
portance of the industry" Consul
Smith reports to the Department of
Commerce, las the greater part of the
exports are taken by tourists or sent
out of the country by parcel post,
However, the customs declare that the
value of the lace sent ont from Ton
kin to France by steamer in 1922
amounted to 2,S35,000 francs. 1t is
estimated that the value of the lace
taken out of the country In other
ways amounted to an equal figure"
