Telephone Company
Wins Court Fight

Characterizing the ruling of the
New Jersey State Board of Utility
Commissioners as confiscatory, in re-
straining rate increase sought by
the New York Telephone Company in
Northern New Jersey, the special
tribunal of Federal Judges who pre-
sided at the hearings, filed an order
on Saturday enjoining the board from
enforcing it's rate order.
The order was signed by the mem
bers of the tribunal, Judges Rellstab,
Burlington and Morris.
Briefs must be submitted by the
parties interested in the litigation on
Thursday of this week, stating the
position to be assumed by them with
regard to the opinion. A hearing on
the order will be held on Tuesday,
May II.
In pronouncing their decision, the
tribunal of judges upheld the conten-
ton of the Telephone Company that
the rate return on the company's
property as conceded by the board
to be fair, is less than the 7.53 per
centum allowed by the board in its
ruling.
The Telephone Company contended
that the actual returns on its prop
erty is slightly more than four per
cent.

Mother-Daughter
Afternoon Enjoyed

The Mothers and Daughters after
noon arranged last week by the Cliff
side Park Parent-Teacher Association
and held in the high school gymna-
SUM was addressed by Mrs. Mimi, of
Ridgewood, speaker from the State
Parent-Teacher Association.
She recommended that mothers and
daughters get closer together that
mothers keep up with their daughters,
or ahead, as things are moving fast.
She herself, with an eleven year old
daughter is keeping about seven years
ahead so that she may know what
problems will confront her when her
daughter is young lady.
She laid great stress on dances
which are unchaperoned and on the
desirability of each child having
little allowance and budget early in
life.
She urged mothers to be young with
their children and said that girls of
today are not different from their
grandmothers in having problems for
there were problems in those days
but problems according to those times
Pamphlets were distributed to the
mothers and others to the daughters
from the United States Bureau.
Miss Mary Voegelei and Miss Vir-
ginia Fessler presided at the tea tables
assisted. by Miss Lillian Nagel, and
with each cup of tea, the mother re-
ceived a flower boutonniere.

Hagenbeck-Wa Circus
In Paterson May 14-15

Many residents of this community
are arranging parties and will motor
to Paterson on May 14-15, when the
Carl Hagenbeck-Gr Wallace Cir
Gus, with Buffalo Bills Wild West, ar
rive for two performances, afternoon
and night. One of the most interest
ing incidents of circus day is the
arrival of the various trains, and in
all the cities where the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Circus has exhibited, thou
sands have witnessed the arrival and
unloading.
One must be spectator at the un-
loading of these numerous cars to
realize the bigness and size of the
Hagenbeck- Wa allace show, as the
amount of paraphernalia carried is
almost unbelievable. Every car on
the various sections is loaded from
top to bottom, and the townspeople
scarcely believe that the trains could
move, with all the tonnage carried.
Much skill and system is necessary
in the loading and packing of the
cars. Every animal cage, every
wagon, every trunk, every tent, and
every piece of material must be placed
in it's exact location. To have an ar
ticle vary one or two inches requires
the reloading of the car, it is said
Every workman has his exact duty to
perform and it must be done like
clock-work. There must be no delays.
