IF YOU'VE EVER LAUGHED,
PREPARE TO Do IT NOW

Readers of the Saturday Evenin
Post will recall the screamingl
funny story by Harry Leon Wilsosl
which appeared Serial in this
magazine under the title. "Oh, Doc,
tor" The story met with such up
roarious approval that it was i'm
mediately screened, with REGINALD
Denny in the leading role, and i.
will appear at the Strand Theatre
Lambertvilla, tomorrow and Satra-
cay.
The story tells of a rich young
man who had more money t1an wa
good for him. In fact he had 81
much money that he was able t.
indulge himself in the luxury OF
believing that he had evecv liseas
known to medical science. In thu
words of humorous writer, "ho
ENJOYED bad health" A I'd thereby
some of the most ludicrcrs comedy
situations develop.
Finally the doctors adopted a dar-
ing scheme and supplied him with
nurse who was a "heart breaker -
And thereby lies the tale You want
to see this picture-it will make You
forget all your troubles If you
don't get your moneys worth Of
laughs, stop at the box office when
you leave the theatre and get your
money back!

Threaten To Rem0ve
COryeH st. Bridge
Would Leave Only One Crossing In
The Entire City

LambertvilIe-lt was reported in
other papers that at the last meet
ing of the City Commissioners
proposition was received from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
eliminate the Coryell st. bridge
across the canal. But this was true
only in part. The proposition was
conveyed to the Commissioners in
formally, but not at their meeting.
Such an unheard-of proposition
can mean only one thing The Wal
lace Milling Company is seeking
railroad siding to their mill below
the main line at Coryel street. OPP
position has arisen from two near
by residents, sponsored it is under
stood, by another party who has
Interior motives for it. In return
it is supposed the Pennsylvania of
ficials made the proposal to re-
move the bridge to carry their
point. This would bottle up all the
property below the canal and above
the Wallace Mill. For Lambert
street leading to the mill from
Bridge street, is not public high
way after it reaches the mill.
If the siding is allowed placed
to the mill the owners are willing
to turn their portion of the street
over to the city. And as the siding
would raise the level four feet, it
would provide an adequate thoro-
fare from Bridge street to Coryell
street. This would benefit the New
Jersey Rubber Company, for heavy
trucks could then reach their plant
when the office runway is removed
from the mill. At present heavy
! trucks cannot cross the Coryell
street canal bridge because it has
only a three-ton capacity.
While the majority of interested
parties do not object to the siding,
there is unanimous opposition to the
discontinuancee of the Coryell street
bridge. It's abandonment would leave
only the Bridge street crossing ut
the railroad station, and as this is
blocked often for long periods, it
would bottle up traffic TO an alarm
! ing extent.
Presentations have been made
again and again to the Mayor to
enforce the state law against al
lowing train to block crossing
more than five minutes, but these
have never been acted upon. When
the Bridge street crossing is block
ed, traffic can cross via Lambert
street and over the Coryell street
bridge. But with this bridge out, in
terstate traffic would be complete
ly blocked every time trains block the
Bridge street crossing.

Awblane Photo OF
LamberfvilIe

II you have wondered how Lam
bertville looks from the air, turn
to page three and look at the pic
ture reproduced there. While this
does not show the entire city, it
will give you a good idea how we
look in a birds eye view"
This photo was taken recently
when Robert T. Bowman and H.
Collin Minton, promoters of the
Woodward Farms extension, flew
over the city and surrounding coun-
try to get definite idea of the To-
cation of the property relative to
the surrounding property. The re-
suits were more than gratifying. The
picture shows the property to be
the most desirable home site in the
entire vicinity
Elevated locations like the Wood
ward Farms extension have always
been at premium in other local
tiles. But Lambertville was a long
time in realizing that the hills over.
looking the town are the most
healthful locations available The
air is more rareifed, and the damp
that posters the average housewife
along the river is absent
The stoning of the streets of the
tract is about finished This gives
hard surfaces to its thorofares, and
they can be travelled in wet weather
with the greatest ease. A direct
road has been cut through from the
entering roadway on the upper side,
and this gives immediate access
to the center of the tract.
Since this paper reported in the
last issue the renewed activities and
new life taken on since Bowman and
Minton came into the picture, there
has been steady stream of WISH
tors to the Woodward Farms tract.
Two buyers have been refunded
their money for payments made
when the tract first opened, and
they had in the meantime bought
homes elsewhere. But most of the
other buyers are continuing their
payments, now being assured that
warranty deeds are ready to be de-
iivered to them Immediately the pay
ments are finished.
And this is to their advantage,
because they bought their lots at
500. each. But since the improve
ments are being made the price has
advanced to 5000 per lot.

SIX INKS NO LONGER PRO
TECTED IN PENNSYL-
VANIA MUNICIPALITIES

The Board of Game Commissioners
received many complaints from mum
icipal authorities and property own
ers to the effect that slaunks, classed
as fur-bearing animals with an open
season from November to the end
Of February, have become nui-
sance in many Municipalities by
making their headquarters about
residences and other buildings, and
in numerous instances almost driV-
ing the inhabitants from their homes.
While we have always interpreted
such occupancy by sknl warrant
ing property owners in killing them,
many hesitate 70 do SO for fear
they will run afouI Of the law.
At a meeting held July l3, 1925,
the Board under author y granted
by Section 500 Of the 1923 Game
Code, as amended by an act APP
proved May ii, 1925. r7moyed all

firearms TO destroy SKI ks within
boroughs and cities, resid nts should
secure permission from the mayor,
burgess or other legally constitu-
ted authority to use firearms for

arrived recently on the Red Star
liner Belgenland, said yesterday be-
fore starting on his journey to the
South Sea Islands via Vancouver,
B. c., that he had been agreeably
surprised at the good quality of the

stay in New York.
Before leaving London" eontin-

that the liquor sold by the boot
leggers here meant sudden death

to be more mellow and better than
the whiskey one gets over the bars
of the public houses in London, Man

Prohibition did not really mean
anything to me because | am prac-

What does that mean eXactly?" he
was asked by the reporter.
"Well, YOU see, my father and my
four brothers who were three hun
dred Founders, and over six feet

heavy drinkers, and had to limit
myself to a gallon of ale and q

DR.. Erdman Helps
Hospital " ork
OF Ki0OaniS

LambertviTle-At the Monday
evening meeting of the local XII
wants Club letters were received
from DR.. w. S. Erdman, of Buck
ingham, setting forth plans he had
made with the Drexel Children's
Hospital and the Lankenau Hospital
in Philadelphia for the care Of pa
tients that may be sent there by
the Club. DR.. Erdman is a mem
Der of the local Club, and he is
keenly aware of the needs Of hos
pitalization in this section.
The Kiwanians have adopted" the
Carversville Orphanage as partic-
ular object of their interest, and
they are planning to have meet
ing and dinner there on Monday,
August II. The Drexel Children's
Hospital arrangements are to care
for any sick and injured from the
Orphanage.
Gordon Cooper addressed the
meeting following the dinner Mon
day night. He appealed to the Club
to broaden the scope Of its aetivi-
ties, pointing out the objects he
honestly considered as meriting sup
prt. Among these he referred to the
bequest of nearly $4,000 left by
Edgar H. Phillips five veerf a~o for
the express purpose Of building a
hospital. Nothing has been done
about it and yet the need for a
hospital in the community increases
daily.
