Try Nez0 Materials
For Pairing Repairs

Lambertville-Re Representatives OF
the Kentucky Rock Asphalt Go. last
Friday repaired six holes in the as
phalt paving on South Main and
Union streets with asphaltic material
which does not demand heating
These repairs were done at nom
inal cost as a demonstration of the
value of the material.
7 This material looks like the or
diH"ry asphalt but it can be applied
cold. This reduces the cost from 20
to 25 per cent. Another advantage
is that supplies of it can be kept
on hand, and can be used at any
time for repairs. This insures prompt
repairs, and eliminates the high
costs of furnace heating which is
demanded of the ordinary asphalt.
This material is mined from ex-
tinct oil fields in Kentucky, and is
silica sandstone which has been i'm
pregnated with oils. 1t is ground to
sand size, and the saturation of
oils makes it stick when pounded
or rolled into the paving.
Although it is not new discov-
cry, it has not been used extensive
ly over the country because it could
not be mined in sufficiently large
quantities. But the company is now
prepared to supply it in large guam
titles. It has been used on roads
near the mines in Kentucky and
Tennessee for about thirty years,
and samples of the old paving show
that it wears exceptionally well.

Fire Alarm Drive
Nets About $500
Good Showing Made by Fire Depart
ment Inspection Monday.

LambertviIle-The house-to- house
canvass made by members of the
local Fire Department last Monday
evening netted about $500 for the
fund to cover cost of installing the
electric fire alarm system. Contri-
buttons were still coming in yester-
day, so it could not be definitely
stated as to the exact amount. 1t
is understood that Union Co., No.
/, secured the greatest amount for
any one company, as they have al
ready turned in over $500.
The members of all the companies
appeared in uniform, and parade
was staged with an inspection at
City Squareon York street by the
Board of Commissioners. Miss Mary
Gillingham Brown supplied the music
for the occasionwith a band COM
posed of the following: Comets,
II. Ireland, ID. Strouse, Fred Petrie,
William Griffith Martha Lovett; al
to, Miss Brown, Beryl Simanton;
trombone, Howard Stockton, Flora
Bullock, Edgar Smith; baritone,J John
Jones; bass, Nicholas Goombe; clari-
net, Frank Faust, Ruth Simerson,,
Francis VanHorn; flute, Marion
Swallow; saxaphone, Harry Green;
drums, James Skillman, Elmer
Smith.
Every home was visited by mem
bers of the four companies, and
when contributions were received
cards were given the donors to be
displayed in their windows; Friends
of the Firemen." But many were
absent from their homes, and eff
forts are still being made to reach
them so that a 100 per cent record
can be established for civic pride.
The Fire Alarm Committee asks
that on behalf of the entire Fire
Department their sincere thanks be
expressed to the citizens who have
so splendidly responded to the APP
peal. At a meeting held after the
drive it was decided to continue in
stallations as far as funds will
permit, and other plans will be made
to raise the balance needed.

LOWERING THE DIGNITY OF
THE MAYORS OFFICE

Lambertville, N. j., May 10, rs
To the Editor of the Lambertville
Record and New Hope News,
Dear Sir-Will you kindly publish
the following:
On last Thursday evening, May
14th, about $50 o'clock, there were
several crosses burned, it is as
sumed by thee Ku Klux Klan, near
the city. and | also understand that
our Honorable Mayor together with
the State Police and a constable or
two, were so EXETER that they were
chasing up and down the streets of
the city trying to find out where
they were to be burned, and when
the crosses famed up they chased
out into the country like flock of
small children following the first
hand organ of the season, and pulled
them down.
Of course while they were so en-
ployed, the city was left without
full police protection. l think the
Mayor should not let his own feel
ings show in this manner, and only
attend to putting out such fires when
they are within the city limits and
then only when they are burned
without the consent of the owner of
the property on which they are
placed, or when they are burned
where they will cause damage to
other property. Then if such an
occasion should arise, we have a
splendid Fire Department which is
able to cope with the situation, and
not tie up the police.
The Mayor also exceeds his auth
GRITTY when he leaves the city to pull
any such burning crosses down, es-
pecially when the townships in which
the crosses are burned do not call
upon him for aid.
The fact that our Mayor has
taken upon himself to have both
West Amwell and Delaware town
ships patrolled will not as | see it
prevent the burning of any crosses,
in fact it will be challenge to
the Ku Klux Khan to burn more.
He has enough to do if he at
tends to the lawbreakers within the
city, | refer to bootleggers in par
ticular The Mayor will no doubt
say that if any citizen knows
of anyone selling hootch and they
make a complaint in writing he will
attend to same, and that it is not
his duty to look for such things.
But | think that it is his duty to
enforce the law. He assumes the
DUTY CD of going out of the
city to pull down burning crosses
manner without any written COM
plant. Why not clean out the boot
leggers without any written com
plant?
As an American citizen | con-
slider the Khan has a perfect right
to burn crosses whenever it suits
them, provided they have the per-
mission of the owner of the prop
erty on which they propose to burn
same, and that it is burned so as
not to endanger any other property.
Personally | do not know if per-
mission was granted for the burn
ings in question, but if they did |
think they should have been al
lowed to burn without interference.
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

Khan Has Big Meeting
Three Crosses Burned Near
Lambertville


A goodly number of Lambertvil-
lians attended the Ku Klux Khan
meeting in Frank Coles field, at
Readington Sunday afternoon. More
than one thousand persons were
there in all, and listened to an
address by DR.. f. S. Young. of
Jersey City, on "The Road to Cal
vary" H. ]. Kronk, kleagle for Hun
terdon and Warren counties presided
at the meeting and read scripture
passage.
The meeting was orderly and in
the nature of an old-time Sunday
afternoon religious meeting, eN-
cepting for the hooded members of
the order present. There was no
sensational demonstration.
About half the members wore
their robes all the way to Reading
ton, attracting a lot of attention
en- route, and nearly soaring one
man into fit when one carload
stopped him to seek some Informal
ton. He recognized some of the
party, however, and thought it =
good joke on himself.
1t had been reported that there
would be officers of the law present
who would endeavor to stop the
meeting, which kept some away, and
also attracted others. One Lam
bertville man, not member, who
expected to see "some fun" was
rather Disguised at the extreme
orderliness of the gathering, and
the character of the addresses.

In the issue of April 10th this
paper announced that Miss Margar-
ct Turnbull would shortly begin a

Prosperity
Increase of 4O7 Shares In Year

Lambertville-The forty-ninth an
nual report of the Centennial Build
ing and Loan Association for the
fiscal year is especially interest
ing for its gains of the past year
despite the so-called dullness in
industry.
While the receipts and expendi-
lures were less than for the pre-
vious year, there was not nearly
so much call for money on mort
gage, and only one series of stock
increased more than $4,000, the
amount due shareholders, as in
stallments and profits, more than
$4,000 increase.
The number of shares in force to-
day are 5,872, an increase of 407
over last year; and the cancellations
during the year (due to holders
needing money! numbered but 1853,
a decrease of 112, or almost one
half, from the previous year. Shares
pledged for loans number 1928, an
increase of 108. The present value
of shares is s416,404.53, a gain of
S29,404.53 over last year
The total receipts during the year
were 1888, and disbursements,
$189, 111.47. The operating expenses
were $1,673.85, or less than one per
cent on the money handled. This
is very satisfactory showing,
and speaks we'll for building and
loan management.
The receipts included dues on
shares, s74,86611; interest on loans,
$28, 740.43; mortgage loans matur-
ed, $4,000; mortgage loans repaid,
sci 900; borrowed money $35 400
Ia decrease of $44,700 from the
previous year,; with small items
making up the remainder.
The association has s460,600.00 of
its s470,634.4S assets loaned on
mortgages, which shows that the
money is working in good shape
for local interests.

FROM THE EXPERIENCE
OF A JUDGE

Judge Stolen, of Madison, Wis.
sounded a serious note of warn
ing in a recent address at a church
conference. While he referred spec
ifically to the Latin Qaurter" of
Madison, which is largely inhabited
by students of Wisconsin University,
he touched upon a problem as old
as humanity itself. For the sake
of culture and common deceney we
hope that Judge Stolen's charges
are exaggerated. This is part of
what he said, according to news
paper reports:
"The situation is mighty serious
when taxis are called to mems room
ing houses in our university district
at 2 o'clock in the morning and
drunken or exhausted girls, wrap
ped in blankets, are carried out and
driven to their homes.
Ceases of all night parties are
called repeatedly to our attention,
though very little publicity is given
to the actual cases.
81 cannot understand how business
men, who would not cash check
for the Angel Gabriel will trust
their own daughters with any ac-
quaintance she may pick up. There
is something radically wrong with
the home.

the craze for liquor and women
goes madly on"

MEN CAN'T BE DRAGOONED

In five years the Government has
spent nearly $100,000,000 in its eff
fort to enforce this unpopular (Vol-
STEADY law. 1t has fleets scattered
along our coasts and an army of
agents spread throughout the coun-
try. The statement that never be-
fore in our history has the Govern
ment provided so large and expen-

of a single law, is probably true.
1t may also be true that the law
cannot be adequately enforced UNI
less the Anti-Saloon League plan
of enforcing it by Transforming our
army, our navy, and our aircraft

Governments which seek to attain
their purposes chiefly by threats
of punishment invariably fail. When

the exercise of an innocuous person

to be proper and necessary to amend
the act, or repeal it. America.
