INTEREST N. Y. AUTO
MEN IN MACKAY BRIDGE
J. w. Binder Gives Luncheon in
N. Y. c. to Representatives
Of Auto Assn

To get. the automobilists of New
York and New Jersey solidly behind
a carefully planned legislative pro-
gram affecting the Mackay Hudson
river bridge was the object of a lunch
con given at the Machinery Club in
New York this past week by Execu-
tive Secretary j. w. Binder to repre-
sentatives of the Metropolitan Auto
mobile Association.
This association is composed of
owners of motor vehicles, both pleas
ure and truck. It's membership in
New York and New Jersey is close to
the half million mark.
The spokesmen for the motor ve-
hicle association at the luncheon
were Wendell w. Chase, general man
ager of the association, and H. A.
Naples, assistant secretary in charge
of legislative work at Albany.
In opening the conference Mr..
Binder, on behalf of the Mackay Hud-
son River Bridge Association, paid a
tribute to Messrs. Chase and Naples
for the efficient and helpful work
done by the automobile interests rep
resented by them at Albany during
the last session of the legislature in
getting the Hudson river bridge bill
passed and approved. Suitable re-
sponses having been made by Messrs.
Chase and Naples, the program and
future activities was taken up and
discussed.
1t was agreed to unity the efforts Of
all motor vehicle organizations which
are branches of the Metropolitan AS
sociation to secure at the coming ses-
sion of the legislatures in New York
and New Jersey favorable action upon
the appropriation by each state of the
$400, 900 necessary to carry forward
the bridge work during 1926.
To this end a series of articles to
be published in the newspaper press
and the motor vehicle magazines
throughout New York and New Jer-
sey and, indeed, throughout the whole
eastern part of the United States,
were planned. These articles are to
be written by members of the motor
vehicle organization and of the Mac
kay Hudson River Bridge Associa-
ton. They are to be Illustrated and
signed.
Immediately following the Novem-
ber elections a card index will be
made up of the senate and house in
the two states, on which facts relat-
ing to bridge legislation and the atti-
+uda of aach memher thereto will be
recorded These cards will be made
in duplicate, each association retain
ing one set.
1t was arranged to hold another
meeting a little later in the year to
check up on the program outlined and
to meet any unforeseen contingencies
that may arise.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN LOCAL BUS
HISTORY WRITTEN AND EDGEWATER
IS RESTRAINED FROM INTERFERING
Vice Chancellor Bentley Says That Fit Lee Transporta
ton Company Needs No Municipal Permit From
Edgewater to Discharge and Pick Up Passengers
Private Property-Big Victory for Bus Company.

The mandate of Edgewater official.
dom refusing permission to the buses
of the Fort Lee Transportation Co. to
run their conveyances to a private
plot in that borough was swept aside
by an injunction granted by Vice
Chancellor Bentley the early part of
the week.
After this bus line had been in oper-
alton for short time, two of the
drivers were arrested and convicted
of operating jitney buses without
municipal permits and then the Trans
portation Company asked for an in
junction restraining the Edgewater
authorities from interfering with its
business.
The Vice Chancellor has decreed
that Edgewater officials have no right
to interfer with buses that do not
discharge or take on passengers on
public highways. The Fort Lee Com
pany was at the time arrests were
made discharging and receiving pas
sengers on a plot of ground they had
leased about two blocks north of the
ferry.
Surely" said Vice-Chancellor Bent
ley, "in the use of the word operation
it was not intended that the owner of
such bus as is now under considera-
ton would require a license to drive
the same while empty along the
streets of a municipality for the pur-
pose of visiting a service station at
which it was desired to have repairs
or adjustments made upon it. Yet, If
the word is to be given the broad
meaning which the defendant seeks
to have placed upon it, the bus would
unquestionably be operated in the
public Streets So that. asI read the
act, it does not seem that it was in
tended that a license should be re-
quired to permit a bus to use the
public streets for transportation from
a point without municipality to pri-
vate property within the same where
no unusual burden was impressed up
on the public way.
''If such a result had been intended,
it would have been clearly expressed.
OF course, all such conveyances and
their owners and operators remain
subject at all times to compliance with
all valid regulations adopted under the
police powers for the public safety
health, morals and welfare

K. K. K. Principles
Expounded by Klan
Speaker Mon. Night

An unheralded meeting of the Ber-
gen County Ku Klux Klan was held
on the Clendenning farm, north of
Hillsdale, on last Monday night. No
one but Klansmen knew of the meet
ing until around 5 o'clock when men,
bers of the order started to gather.
There was no violence, no demon
stration and a sympathetic crowd Of
thousands listened attentively to a
lecture by DR.. Brandt, Kluxer of
national reputation.
In part Dr. Brandt declared:
"The Klan is not anti-anything-it
is, however, pro-American, and if
any country needs to be pro-anything,
it is this fair land of ours, which is
being raked fore and aft by isms,
divided loyalty and disregard of law
and order. We stand behind the law
and it's enforcement. Every Klans-
man is sworn to allegiance to the
United States of America, first, last
and always, also to uphold and assist
the duly constituted officers of the law
on every occasion.
Another peculiar feature is that
we are the only race which must
justify it's existence. Nobody ques-
tions the right of the Jewish people
to organize a secret order within the
borders of the United States, dividing
this country into twelve regions, each
one presided over by a governor and
with headquarters in New York. No
body denies the right of the Greek to
do likewise, with his headquarters of
government in Pittsburgh.
Nobody denies the negro the right
of forming his associations, which are
for the negro, first, last and always
Nobody denies the right of the Roman
Catholic to organize his knights of
Columbus, which exists for the glory
of the Roman church. Why then,
must we native born, white, gentle,
Protestants be compelled to excuse our
existence and be slandered and even
slaughtered by those who deny us the
right of free speech and lawful as
sembly. Our members have been as
saulted, murdered and wounded when
we were simply attending to our own
business in private and public as
semblies. Churches have been stoned
in New Jersey for the mere reason
that it was suspected that there might
be Klan meeting in them. Did you
ever hear of band of 100 per cent
white Americans smashing windows
and breaking heads in an attempt to
break up meeting in the synagogue
or in the K. of C. Hall?
I'VE stand for Americans for
America and America for Americans.
The fable of the melting pot will not
stand the scrutiny of the ages. AS
Herbert Kaufman once said. ON to
the melting pot and drive the scum
back whence it came "
The speaker received prolonged ap-
plause, and hundreds of hands went
up when the crowd was asked to sig
nifty their assent to the principles of
the Klan, and they were later signed
up and received ON probation in the
organization.

Miss M. Mcdonald
Has Surprise Party
On 24th Birthday

Miss Elizabeth Mcdonald, daughter
of Councilman and Mrs. John McDon-
aid of Lincoln avenue, was given a
delightful surprise party the early
part of the week at the home of her
parents.
The occasion was Miss EliZabeth's
oath birthday She left home early in
the evening to attend a choir practice

Church of West New York, and upon
returning found twenty-four guests
assembled to celebrate the natal day.
The guests came from Riverland,
Brooklyn, Green Point, the Bronx,
Union City, West New York and sew
eral local people were among those
present.
The dining room was prettily and
artistically decorated in yellow and
white and a huge Jack Horner pie
full of favors attached to attractive
yellow ribbons graced the center of
the table. Carnival hats, worn by the
guests, added to the color of the scene.
During the evening, between games
and dancing, Miss Elsie Brotherton of
Jersey City and Miss Mcdonald rem
dered pleasing vocal solos, and piano
solos were played by Mrs. Ethel
Gunther, who is the associate matron
of the Charlotte Chapter of the East
ern Star Lodge No. IA.
Many beautiful sand useful gifts
were presented to Miss Mcdonald by
her friends and all went home happy

be held up if he did not properly per-
form his duties. Councilman Diet
rich was unwilling to accept as an
excuse that the roads were torn up
in that vicinity and said it was the
garbage contractors duty to remove
the garbage and he must find a way
to do it.
Councilman Meyer suggested that
any surplus material from the street
improvements be dumped into the lot
on Anderson avenue where the Grant
wood fire house is soon to be built.

to give Az volts and cut the voltage
down by the use Of a proper rheostat.
The terminals used for connecting
the combination into a circuit are the
negative terminal of the first tube and
the positive terminal Of the last tube,
or, in other words, the free terminal
of the first tube and the free terminal
Of the last tube.
The same principle OF economy in
operation which applied to the paral-
lei connection when more than one
tube is used in a receiver also applies
in the case of three-volt tubes. While
only three cells connected in series
are required to furnish the necessary
voltage for filament heating, extra
cells can be connected to form a COM
bination that will give satisfactory
operation for a considerably longer
time.
The cells can be connected in what
is known as a 'series-parallel" con-
nection. Such a connection Is obtained
by first connecting as many units as
desired in the necessary series con-
nections. If a 41a-volt unit is desired,
connect up as many units of ~ volt
units as desired. as shown by A and
B Of fig. 2. Each one of these units
will give Az volts, because the three
cells of which each unit is composed
are connected in series.
Terminals Explained.
If the negative terminal of the A
unit is connected with the negative
terminal of the B unit while the posi-
tive terminal of the A unit is connect
ed with the positive terminal of the B
unit, the two units A and B will be
connected in parallel, giving the COM
bination of series and parallel connec-
ton known as the "series parallel
connection. For greater capacity more
units of Az volts units can be con-
nected in parallel by connecting to-
gether the negative and positive ter
minals Of each series as was done in
the case just mentioned. If greater
voltages are desired, as in the
case of wv 201A and c 3e1A tubes,
which require 6 volts for filament
heating, the same principle can be ap-
piled for obtaining high voltages by
using extra dry cells. In that case
the series units would have to consist
of ~ volts dry cells and two or more
of these units could be connected in
parallel to give the desired greater
capacity.
