BOBBED HAIR FAD NOT DYING
SAYS PERFECT FLAPPER
Clara Bow, Of Daughters of Plea
sure" Cast Declares They'll
Never Stop Ii

whats this? Bodied hair as a
fad is dead? Well | should say not.
They've been trying to kill the bob
for years and they're further away
from it now than ever"
The speaker was Clara Bow, the
beautiful little motion picture act
ress whose reputation on the screen
is now firmly established as the
perfect flapper type" Miss Bow,
who plays one of the principal roles
in Daughters Of Pleasure" the
new dramatic photoplay which opens
at the Strand Theatre Tonight has
one of the most becoming hobs on
or off the screen.
There's one thing that rifles this
seventeen year old screen star. And
hat is to say that the bobbed hair
fad is dying out.
81 should say it is not" said
Miss Bow, during the making of
Daughters of Pleasure" "They-
we been trying to kill it ever since
the fad originated but it is more
popular every day what with the
Russian cut straight bob, boy
is bobs' and others. They said that
the long skirts would kill the bob.
But they didn't and as far as ! can
ee the long skirts are anything but
as long as they were supposed to
be.
Whether the skirts are long or
short, tight or flowing, ruffled or
slit, the bob will go right on. 1t is
chic, effective and sensible. SO
there"
For all of which there seems lit
tie rebuttal. Especially when the de-
fender of the bob happens to be
such a pretty and winsome little bit
of femininity. In Daughters of
Pleasure" Miss Bow, who gained
national prominence for her portray
al of the fapper role in "Black
Oxen" wins new laurels. The new

Telegraph & Telephone Company
in Southern New Jersey, which were
made by engineers of the Public
Utility Commission, were introduce
ed in the Commission hearing by
Cyrus G. Hill, a Chicago consult

that the annual depreciation charges
should be increased by $4,000
This conclusion was arrived at,

used lower rate of depreciation
than that which had been employ

Accordingly Mr.. Purcell fearless
ly denounced from the pulpit the
untruths contained in the above
garbled announcement "There were
four deliberate falsehoods contain
ed in that article" he said. "The
first was to give the hour at 300
o'clock instead of 2:30 as plainly
stated in my announcement. This
was no doubt an attempt to mis-
lead the public so that the SER
vice would be interrupted by late
arrivals.
1.-THE second falsehood was that
"a Ku Klux meeting" would be
held. My notice plainly stated that
the meeting would be for "all pa
triotie orders and citizens" The
third false statement was that
"kleagles and COLLINS" would adj
dress the meeting. No such thing
was planned, and is proven by the
announcement that by request |
was to repeat a sermon previously
delivered from my pulpit by special
request. The fourth false statement
was the reference to "the sheeted
order" which intimated that it was
klan meeting in costume"
"The ushers reported that $50
people attended the meeting; they
We're well-dressed, refined, intelli-
gent and orderly citizens. Besides
the assistance in the service of a
neighbor minister, no one spoke but
myself. The theme of my address
was the essence of good citizenship
| upheld the principles of free
speech. the freedom of the press
and the freedom of assembly and
an appeal for respect for American
institutions and belief in her
glorious future; | advocated just
treatment of foreigners in this
country and sincere effort to make
them real Americans.
"There was absolutely no setting
forth of the principles of any one
secret Organization merely de-
Tended the general principles Of
Christian Citizenship. If this be
treason, then evidently it is a crime
for a minister to preach patriotism
Mr.. Purcell has proven by his
ministry in this city that he is
fearless advocate of the truth. More
men like him, with the COURAGE o.
their convictions of truth and jus
tice are needed in this country. He
need not fear the preiudices OF
unscrupulous enemies Of American
institutions. He will find that
host Of stalwart men and women
will rally to his support.

OLD COOLIDGE
TEACHER HERE
Man Who Taught Pres
idenf in Plym 0ufh
District School Gives
Radio Speech.

Lambertville-On Monday night
there was broadcasted from Nc
Cures Radio Station WTAZ a
speech by Ernest Charles Carpen-
ter, a former school teacher Of
Calvin Coolidge. Mr.. Carpenter was
born in Plymouth, Vt, the birth
place of President Coolidge. He was
a teacher in the little district school
where the President received his
primary education And his speech
Monday night death with the intim-
ate personal knowledea he had of
the boyhood of the Executive.
People have marveled at the 81
lent equanimity of Calvin Coolidge"
said Mr.. Carpenter, "hut they would
understand him het,or if they knew
the environment of his birth and
boyhood. The granite hills of Yer
mont are conductive TO sober re-
Election and the building of stalwart
character. He is product of that
stern honesty that IS typical of
New England"
Mr.. Carpenter exhibited folder
Of pictures, among which was one
Of the old stone school house at
tended by the President in boyhood.
There We're other charming pic
lures from the family collection lat
ing back many years. The faces
of the people in those pictures
cleraly portrayed the uprightness
of character that is typical of the
stock of the Vermont mountains.
One story told by Mr.. Carpenter
was that when Coolidge. first was
elected to public office some
irish Democrats were reported to
have voted for him. One of them
was asked why they had voted
FOR Republican, and he answered,
Because Cal is good Democrat. ]"
He meant by that that Coolidge
is plain man of the people, with
out affection and pretense.
"Some people claim that Coolidge
is not great man." said Mr.. Car
penter, "and contrast him with out
standing figures like Roosevelt. But
my reply to that is, They also said
that about Abraham Lincoln And
Calvin Coolidge bears striking
similarity to the character of Lin
eoln. His quiet strength is unas-
suming, but it has the quality of
granite in its makeup"
Mr.. Carpenter is touring the coun-
try under the direction of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, and
has addressed some of the greatest
audiences of the East. He went
from here to New York City where
ne delivered an address on Tuesday
night.

Black Snake Fights Man

Charles Farley, who drives the
Oldwick stage, which conveys the
high school students from that place
to Somerville, had an exciting en-
counter with blacksnake while
making the return trip after hav-
ing left the students at Somerville.
Near the Ridge schoolhouse he saw
the snake in the road and ran
over it with the bus. Seeing the
snake was not killed he got out
of his car to finish the job. He
hurled stone ut it without effect
and the snake came right at him
and was going to wind around one
of his legs, when he managed to
pick up big rock and kill the
reptile. 1t was three feet in length.

City Commissioners
Transact Business

Lambertville-lt was moved that
the 0verseer of the Poor issue an
order to the merchants who are to
supply the poor with groceries, stat
ing sum not to be exceeded per
week and forward copy of the
order to the City Clerk.
Permission was granted to hold
a Tag Day, Saturday, October 25th,
for the purpose of raising funds
TO help defray expenses Of Hal
lowe'en parade.
Check for $500 payable to Mic
hazel Palo was returned by Com
missioner Hayhurst who stated
same was an error. The check was
received and credited back to Road
Repairs.
Commissioner Hayhurst reported
that Bridge St where the trolley
tracks had been taken out, had been
repaired by Jas. j. Barrett in a
manner similar to the former work
done by the Commissioners. Also
that the holes in the streets had
been patched under same arrange
ments.
He further stated that arrange
ments had been made to have the
curb in front of the Elks Home re-
paired, same to be paid by the prop
erty owners at 1.50 per foot. the
curved part of the curb to be paid
for by the City at cost of $500
per foot.
The Receiver of Taxes was in
structed to have the list of unpaid
taxes on Real Estate from 1916 TO
1923, inclusive, prepared for publica-
ton on October Both,
The Treasurer was authorized to
borrow from the Lambertville Ma
tional Bank, S230000 on Tax An
ticipation Note.
Commissioner Hayhurst advised
that he had made arrangements
to have the bridge on the south
side Of York st. at Grant st. re-
paired, the work to be done by
our local men but to be paid by the
County. Also that they would use
some of the large concrete pipes,
paying $3.50 per section.
The following was also submitted
by Commissioner Hayhurst;
If leaves are swept up in piles
they will be removed south Of York
st. on Friday and north of York
St on Saturday. The experiment
last week worked in fairly salts
factory manner and il is thought
warrants trial again this week.
1t was found impractieable to shut
water from the north part of town
on Saturday last, on account OF the
absence from the City of both fire
engines. Information came too late
to give notice and the work was
done on Sunday. An effort was made
to do the work by having only
a part of the territory shut off,
but valves did not work properly
and it became necessary to shut OIL
the whole part of the town. 1t is
impossible to tell what difficulties
will be met in these cases.

ON RAILROAD
Nesc Type of Locomo-
tue Being Tried-I30
Lib. Rail Extended.

A new type if locomotive is being
operated this week on the Belvidere
Delaware train leaving Lambertville
northbound at S.3S a, M, and going
south at 4.SS p. m. 1t is known in
Pennsylvania Railroad circles as
Type Chs, and was designed and
built in the Altoona shops. 1t has
three pairs of drivers, without trail
ing wheels, and is shorter and
"chunkier" than most of the passen-
ger locomotives being used ON this
road
This new type of locomotive is cal
culated to operate easily on curves,
and to "pick up" the average train
of steel cars in quick time and hit
a mile-a- minute clip right along.
Schedules are being maintained bet
ter since this locomotive has been
running the past few days, and it
is likely that the same type of loco
motives will be used on other local
trains later if this proves successful.
The work of relaying the Belvidere
road with brand new 130-lb. steel
rail- the same as the Pennsylvania
main line, has progressed to a point
south of Frenchtown, and will be
completed through Lambertville in
1925. This replaces 85-lb. and 100
Id. rail now in use. With equipment
of the same weight and running at
the same speed as the main lines,
the same weight rail has become a
vital necessity. 1t also indicates an
expected future prosperity ON the
part of the railroad company, be-
cause this new rail, laid in
place, costs all the way from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile, or about two
thirds of a million dollars for the
entire road from Trenton to NAHUM
kachunk. Entirely new wooden ties
are not estimated in this amount,
either, so that by the time the work
10 lllitttu, uHWdIuS u Il inililOll
dollars will have been expended. 1t
did not cost much more than this to
grade, bridge. build and equip the
entire road back in the 1S50's.
II is not so many years ago that
the road was laid with 56-lb rails,
and later these were raised to 70-lb
and again to S5lbs. to the yard
No other single track railroad in
New Jersey has made such progress
as the Belvidere Delaware, and no
other is in so good a physical condi-
ton as this line. The New Jersey
Southern, extending from Red Bank
to Bridgeton and Cape May is the
only other single track road UP to
the Belvidere Delaware Railroad. In
cidentally, there's about as much to-
tai curvature in the New Jersey
Southern's 100 miles of road as in
the Belvidere Delaware section be-
tween Lambertville and Moore's.

What Is The Red
Cross Doing?

Lambertville-Miss J ~ Whitlow,
local Red Cross Nuhe. recently
returned from the National Con-
vention of. the Red Cross organ
iZation in Washington. Concerted
plans We're started for the Annual
Roll Call which begins on Novem-
Der 18th all over the Nation.
President Coolidge, in his message
to the convention, paid a glowing
tribute to commendable work of
the Red Cross, and to the humane
tartan spirit of the people who
respond so nobly to its appeals.
Speaking of the funds provided for
relief work during the earthquake
aud conflagration in Japan, the
President said, CAS- President of the
United States and President of the
American Red Cross, issued an
appeal for $5,000.o00; more than
Sill 100000 was given"
The Red Cross is one of the most
complete organizations in the world.
There are State organizations in
every state; in each state there
are County organizations, and in
each county there are individual
units of towns and cities, Lambert
vile is unit of the Hunterdon
County Red Cross.
Each year at the Annual Roll
Call solicitations are made in every
unit of this vast organization. A
percentage of the funds secured are
sent to the National organization
for worldwide work. The balance
is retained by the local unit for its
work, such as that of the visiting
nurse, etc.
Often the question is asked,
Didn't Red Cross work cease with
the War? What is it doing now
that it needs funds" The outstand-
ing feature of its peace-time work
is in times of disaster, such as
the Japan earthquake, and in pub
lie health nursing. 1t would take
more time and space than is avail
able to outline all these activities,
but more will be said of them next
week.
But be prepared for your mem
bership in the Red Cross. Your card
is a proof of humanitarian service.
