COMMISSIONER HAYHURST
ADDRESSES QUAk ERTOWN
MEETING


Lambertville-Quite a number of
people from this city and vicinity at
tended the opening of the old
Friends Meeting House at Quaker
town, Hunterdon county, on Sunday,
where City Commissioner Walter F.
Hayhurst was one of the speakers.
Evan 7. Worthington, of Newtown,
and Isaac Wilson were also ON the
program.
A large gathering was present,
and Quakertown took on the ap-
pearance of a fair center, and lived
up to it namc, for the first time
in many years.
The Quakertown meeting was
started about ICES, and continued for
nearly two hundred years. 1t was
first known as the Bethlehem Meet
ing. from the township Of that name
Later it was known as Kingwood
Meeting, because of the large num-
Der of Kings living in the vicinity.
Later it became the Quakertowu
Meeting. When discontinued the
members were transferred to other
meetings, Abram Vail, one of the
oldest members. going to Buckng
ham. Some of the descendants Of for
mer members having moved back in
to the vicinity caused the meetings
to be reopened.

movement releases an oil pump
which sets up any desired resistance,
whereby "tractive pull" is regis
tered.
No team has yet made tractive
pull greater than its own weight.
The oil pumps resistance is con-
slant, that is it takes the same pull
ing power to keep the dynamometer
moving as it does to start it. 1t is
the same as though the team were
pulling weight out of deep well
over single pulley. Approximate
ly four times the tractive pull repre-
sonts the poundage load on dirt
road, and thirteen times the tractive
pull is the poundage of load NOV
ed on a smooth granite block road.
This is only one of the many
attractions to be offered at the
Doylestown Fair.

people who have seen the beauties

When you consider that so much
Of the residential section Of Lam
bertville is very low as compared
with sections like Cottage Hill and
Woodward Farms it is easy to I'M
derstand why people would enjoy
living up on the high lands Of Wood
ward Farms. Magnificent views of
the surrounding country from Wood
ward Farms make a picturesque set

Edgar II. Wilson, of Pennington,
was signally hono"ed by the Masonic
Fraternity last week when the Su-
preme Council was in annual ses-
sion at Pittsburg. Mr.. Wilson was
selected at that time to receive the
honorary office of Thirty-Third De-
gree Mason, together with three
other Jerseymen, Isaac Cherry, Sec
rotary of the Grand Lodge of New
Jersey; Stephen Ziegler, State High
way Department official, and Elmer
E. Sutphin, of the Sutphin Machine
Works, of Trenton.
The Thirty Third Masonic Degree
is only conferred on Masons of high
standing as an honorary office. Ac-
cording to tradition, only Masons
who have passed their thirty-third
birthday are eligible for this Office,
no matter how high their standing
For this reason Mr. Wilson occupies
distinctive position in that he is
SupIhatu " NC bii' AbhtEtAb iii -
Third Degree Mason elect in the
world, having just passed his thirty
third year.
Usually men who win the distine-
ton of the Thirty Third Degree
Mason are well advanced in life. And
until very recently the degree could
only be conferred in Scotland, and
Masons from all over the world who
received the degree had to travel
to that country. But the degree is
now being conferred in this country,
and the above New Jerseymen will
receive their laurels in Buffalo, N.
Y. in September 1926.
Charles M. Dilts of the New Jer-
sey Rubber Co., is the only Thirty
Third Degree Mason in Lambert
vile. He has 70 many years served
as Secretary of Amwell Lodge No
IL, of Lambertville.

Traffic Light
For Main Corner
Proceedings OF Commissioners
Meeting

Lambertville-At the Monday
evening meeting of the Board of
Commissioners, Mayor Moonan was
given permission to have an auto
matte flashing traffic light installed
on trial at the intersection of Bridge
and Union streets. The four mush-
room traffic guides recently install
led there have not had the desired
effect in producing caution.
The ordinance entitled, An Orlin-
anee Regulating the Conducting of
Business in the City Between the
Hours of 1900 P. Nj. and 500 A.
NJ, came up for second reading.
When the vote was taken Moonan
and Cooper voted again in its favor,
but Commissioner Hayhurst did not.
Commissioner Hayhurst was auth
orized to have concrete sewer cover
and wall istalled at north east cor
ner of Union and Swan streets at
a cost of S35., and similar sewer
NONIl OH HtiiS street between MAIN
and Union, at a cost of S31. Work
is to be done by Mullen & Bailey.
City Clerk was instructed to write
the Overseer of the Poor, of Tren-
ton. in an effort to secure aid for
family in INDECENT circumstances who
recently moved here from that city.
He was also instructed to have the
N. J Power & Light Co. replace the
short bracket at S. Main and Feeder
streets with a 10 foot bracket, and
to install 600 watt lamp.
Property owners at Main and
Delevan streets were notified that
the pavement and curbng at that
point must be repaired and brought
up to grade. Notification was order
ed for the Shade Tree Commission
to see that trees needing trimming
are cared for

There are bad roads, worse roads,
still worser yet, and one or two in
the universe that combine all these
objections two-fold-and the Byram,
-ldell road is one of the latter. By
comparison the famous Rosemont-
Kingwood Greek bed" seems excen
ent, and the mueh-cussed Bears
Head-Croton highway rises mighty
close to the boulevard class.
Strong men residents of the Vi
cinity, weep when they hear of
would-be traveller about to start over
its tortuous course. Mothers scare
unruly children into quietness by
threats to send them riding over it.
In word it isn't pleasant travelling.
1t begins at the easterly end of
the Point Pleasant bridge, opposite
Byram station, coyly hidden behind
freight car and bunch of poison
ivy. When this bridge was a toll
structure, the dangers We're not so
great, for few would bother to
hand up good coin, but now the
bridge is free. and looks like nice
direct inlet to central New Jersey
points.
A Western lady used to jogging
over the Rockies. and the wierd
trails and canyons of the Southwest,
tried the road Saturday. only to
have the ''innards" of her watch
shaken loose, and fearsome chills
sent up and down her spinal column.
Later she returned via the King
wood-Rosemont road, and announced
that she had experiences to relate
back in New Mexico next month that
will make some of the grizzled old
mountaineers sit up and take notice.
One tourist, outward bound, beg
ged an incoming stranger not to at
tempt the trip. "The roadway has
blown the tires from my automobile
wheels, two of my ribs from their
sockets, and has shaken away more
than ninety-eight per cent of all the
religion | ever possessed he said
But none of the warned needed. The
reasons given are too strong to be
convincing.
Fortune has way of smiling on
the unwary, however. The entrance
at Byram is so securely hidden that
many travellers get a mile past it
before they realize their mistake,
and going from Idell about half the
strangers miss the turn to Byram
and finally end up in Raven Rock,

CONTRADICTIONS FROM MIR.
SARGENT'S DEPARTM ENT
PROHIBITION FACTS

NitNtihhu Np=J lNt"Ss 'h'N
Responsible officials of the federal
government at last are willing to adj
nit that prohibition enforcement,
state and national, is accompanied by
appalling graft and corruption. In
place of the absurd assertions of
hired press agents of reform soce-
ties that prohibition is being eff
GENTLY and honestly enforced we get
some cold hard facts.
The facts were collected by Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willehrandt, assis-
tant attorney general. She sent ques-
tionnaires to all United States at
torneys, asking each for frank
and accurate picture of conditions
in the areas in which he has iuris-
/ diction. The replies showed the en-
forcemcnt machinery is honeycombed
with dishonesty, and that the con
dton is general and not confined to
any particular localities. Some of
the information was described as
Startling"
A current statement from the
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals becomes little less
than ridiculous, in light of Mrs
Withdrawals revelation. Says the
statement: eve have turned the
corner in prohibition enforcement
and may expect steady improvement
until satisfactory condition is es-
tablishcd"
As matter of fact prohibition
enforcement today is bigger prob
lem than il ever has been. The law
is cvadcd, often openly IN many
are common among both federal and
state authorities. Prohibition cases
have cloggcd court doekets. Local
authorities fatty refuse to aid fed
eral agents. Zcalots go to dangerous
extremes in using the injunction, de
priving accused persons Of the right
of trial. The established right Of citi-
zcns with regard to search ara
seizure are ignored. The enforce
ment act has taught disrespcct for
law and constituted authority.
Why not admit the fact? Surely
nothing can be gained by binding
ourselves to situation that may
well challenge the attention and
thought of the country's leaders.

kingwood Road Progressing.

The grading of the Rosemort-
Kingwood macadam road from the
foot of Sherman's Hill to the top
is progressing nicely. The steam
shovel will be through within anoth=
err week and the stoninp can then
be started.
From the top of the hill to the
kingwood church, where the Bap-
tisttown macadam road begins, most
of the scarifying and scraping up has
been done There is a detour from
the top of the hill to the white
covered bridge over the Wickeeheoke
creek between Rosemont and Ser
geantsville, but many are going
through the construction section,
1t is dangerous, though, when wet.
This road will probably be com
pleted early in November, affording
continuous macadam road from
this city to Frenchtown on the Jer-
sey side of the Delaware.

Logan, member w. c. T. u
Evil results are attributed TO pro-
hibition by many persons, They point
to this and to that law violation,
saying, Look at that result of pro-
hibition.' Evils resulting from drink
are so unusual now that they attract
universal attention That is why we
notice them.
"Most of the time a man does not
notice his thumb. If it gets sore.
however. he is decidedly conscious of
it, He seems to use it at least ten
times more and constantly it seems
to be getting in the way. The re-
suit is that he is painfully aware of
it.
"The evils of prohibition and
drinking these days are like sore
thumb. They are unusual. They seem
to stand out. Our attention is direct
ed to them. Therefore we notice
them and give them prominence in
our conversation and thought that
they never occupied before. In spite
of talk and the drinking we hear
about, there is no doubt that much
less alcohol is drunk than before
prohibition. Is there more drinking
than before? Can you point to a
single place in the United States
where there is more drinking?
