FLIVVER KING VISITS
BUCKS COUNTY
Secures Antique From Famous Foun-
tain House Collection

The price of several carloads Of
"tin lizzies" was spent in Bucks
County last Saturday when Henry
Ford bought over $6,00000 worth Of
antiques from Francis Mireau, who
owns the famous Fountain House
collection in Doylestown, and from
other collectors in the town.
Mr. Ford arrived at the Fountain
House last Friday and stayed over
Saturday as the guest Of Mr.. Mireau.
81 spent a fine day and night here, ;"
he said, "and it is a pleasure to visit
your country.
The antiques purchased by Mr.
Ford are to be placed in his museum
at Dearborn, Michigan, and in the
historic Wayside Inn near Boston.
They included hoop skirt, an an
cient cupboard, candle sticks, an
old-fashioned flail and many other
objects of past era in this country.
81 feel that am doing something

this collection" said Mr.. Ford, "and
it provides recreation to relieve
me of any mental and business
strain that ] may be under"

ASKS COOPERATION OF
LOCAL RESIDENTS

Since the advent of Ted Nicar, the
new general superintendent of the
Lambertville Rubber Company, the
old policy has been adopted of Civ
ing preference to local people and to
former old employees. Many of them
have returned to the mill, and have
been gratified at the treatment they
are receiving under the present ad-
ministration.
But many of the old employees have
since moved from the locality, and
in coming back to the community.
And in some cases where it has not
been possible to get local people or
old employees to fill positions that
were open it has been necessary to
employ a few out-of- town people.
However, there seems shortage
of vacant rooms and houses, and
some of them have not yet been
able to secure homes. As is stated
in an advertisement elsewhere in
this issue, Mr.. Nicar asks the CO.
operation of local residents in help
ing locate these people. So if you
have or know of any vacancies,
please phone 35l and list them with
the Employment Department.

Perseverance, Mills
Start Operations

Lambertville-The renovations and
new installations at the Perseverance
Paper Mills were about completed
last week, and the first paper came
over the rolls in what was a graft
flying test of the machinery. Presi-
dent G. A. Leavitt and Vice Presi-
dent Robert Woodhead expressed
their entire satisfaction at the test
operations, and exepect to be turn
ing out the regular product before
the week ends.
The fact that the mill had been
standing idle for several years made
it necessary to do extensive repairs
and renovations to the plant in ad-
dition to supplying new parts for the
machinery which were missing. And
altho the machinery is of huge con-
struction, its adjustments have to be
delicately timed and regulated For
this reason the management was
highly gratified at the results of the
first operation which showed but few
changes and alterations necessary for
the proper functioning of the plant.
A large automatic cutting machine
is being installed, on which the big
rolls Of paper from the mill will be
unrolled and cut into sheets. Another
cutting machine is also being in
stalled on which the large sheets will
be cut to any sizes desired. These
will be in operation by the time the
finished product commences to be
delivered from the finishing rolls.
The entire output of the plant is
already contracted for, and the plant
is assured of success from the begin
ming.

Stockton p. r. A.
Wants Curfego
Pass Resolution Asking Council To
Pass Ordinance.

The Parent Teacher Association,
of Stockton adopted at its last meet
ing resolution calling on the Bor-
ough Council to pass an ordinance
prohibiting children on the streets
during night hours unless accompan-
led by adults. Officers of the Asso-
citation insist that backward child
rem in the school have been found
running on the streets at night. and
they insist that the time should be
devoted to study. The resolution fol-
lows:
WHEREAS, A number of the
children Of our public school are re-
tarded in their studies, and as it
is shown that children of school age
are seen on the streets at late
hour, and since it is n known fact
that children cannot do good work
without proper rest be it.
RESOLVED, that the Parent Tea
cher Association petition the Com
mon Council to establish rule or
set time after which no child, un-
accompanied by an adult, be allowed
on the public streets"
/ The resolution is now before the
Borough Council for action. The As
sociation is striving to bring about
improvements for child welfare, and
their recent reorganization indicates
determination to push measures
which are calculated to bring these
results. The newly elected officers
are Mrs. Raymond Reading, presi-
dent; is Rachel Slack, secretary, and
Mrs. Patrick Ledger, treasurer.
Also at the meeting $500 was
provided for music records, and the
members stressed Che belief that
music is an important feature of
education. Teachers who received
prize money at the County Festival
are using it for the purchase of
pictures for the school rooms. One
picture, youths Code of Morals,
was supplied by the State Depart
ment of Education and has been
framed and hung for continual ref
erence.
The Association has taken out sub
scriptons for "St. Nicholas" and
"Youth's Companion magazines to
provide good reading for the pu-
pills. A pledge of $1,000 was voted
for the scholarship fund, and $500
was sent to the Dental Clinic fund

us that apart from the possibilities
of winning one of the prizes, that
the words are providing knowledge
as well. Even after the sentence is
found from which the word has been

The Holland station will be a dupli.
cate of this first unit of the Sus-
quehanna River Station. F. ID. Camp
bell, Superintendent of Construction,
of the new line, says that all mater
ials has been purchased and some
is now on the ground. The company
plans to complete this station by
April Is, 1926.
The Susquehanna River Station is
the first public utility plant that
can burn either bituminous or an
tracite coal, including "river coaP'
dredged from the Susquehanna and
stored for emergency The scarcity
of any particular grade of coal and
the fluctuations in price do not affect
this plant which is independent of
both by the use of pulverized coal.
After inspecting the Susquehanna
River Station the entire party board
ed the special train and proceeded
to the West Reading Station of
the Metropolitan Edison Company.
Enroute to Reading, coffee and ice
cream were served on the train.
The West Reading plant was put
in operation in 1910 and is source
of pride to the company. At present
it is twice the size of the compile
ted units of the Susquehanna River
Station. The $4,000 kilowatt genera
tor alone, cost half million dollars.
Al ,046 tons of coal can be stored
there; enough for five months nor
NAL operation exclusive of any other
supply. In 1924 the capacity was
II 500 kilowatts. The station at full
capacity could generate enough
electricity to light about 10000
six-room houses.
At Reading the train was broken
into two sections, thc first leaving
at $50 for Washington, Hacketts-
town., Netcong and Dover, and the
second left at 6 o'clock for Bethle-
hem and Easton, connecting for
Frenchtown, Lambertville and other
points.
An excellent dinner was served on
the dining cars between Reading and
Easton. Packages of food were dis
tributed and key-tainers given as
souvenirs.
f. l.. West, Vice President, and
II. G. Harvey, General Manager of
the company, were in charge of the
trip and are to congratulated upon
the excellence of the arrangements
for the accommodation of the guests.

About thirty city officials and
business men of Lambertville were
among the 110 guests of the Metro
politan Edison Company, the Penn
sylvania Edison Company and the
New Jersey Power & Light Com
pany, on an inspection trip to the
Susquehanna River Station at Mid
dletown, Pa, and the West Reading
Power Station of the Pennsylvania
New Jersey Super-Power System
last Friday.
The party left Lambertville at sew
en- o'clock Friday morning by spec
ial train under the guidance of
Jack Allen of the local office of
the New Jersey Power e. Light
Company. Several stops were made
enroute to Phillipsburg to pick up
guesst from other towns.
The special train of fifteen cars
left Easton from the Lehigh Valley
Station at $3.50 a. m. which was
later than the scheduled time, the
train having been held in Phillips
burg awaiting the arrival of guests
from Stroudsburg and Dover.
Among the party were ministers,
lawyers, business men and students
Of Lafayette College at Easton and
Lehigh University, Bethlehem.
Guides selected from the company
employees courteously and efficiently
looked after the wants of the guests
distributing cigars, cigarettes, can
dies, cards and card tables. Descrip-
tive literature about the various
plants of the company was given
out along with maps of the complete
Super-Power System.
The singing of the Pennsylvania
New Jersey quartet, composed of en-
ployees of the company from Read
ing wes nss.sh enjoyed u The guests
Another feature of the entertain
ment was a mandolin-banjo orches-
ira which passed through the cars
rendering current jazz music.
At the Susquehanna River Sta
tion, near Middletown, the party was
divided into two sections to facili-
tate the work of inspection and the
partaking of cafeteria luncheon.
The feeding of eleven hundred hun
CRY men is no easy task but the
guides handled the crowd so skill
fully that there was no confusion.
The Susquehanna River Station is
the latest development Of power
plant engineering. The use of pulver-
lied coal and the equipment of ad-
vanced design, make for the great
est efficiency and economy possible
to present day knowledge. The first
unit of this plant was completed in
December 1924, at cost of $4,000
900. When completed the station
will have six units with a capacity
of 100000 kilowatts. The estimated
cost of this plant is $20,000,000.
Although the first unit was plan
ned to have capacity of 10000
kilowatts, the allowances made in
the interest of the highest efficiency
permit of the generating of $4,000
kilowatts. Only two steam general
ing stations in the United States
can produce power at a lower cost.
The machinery used in the first
unit at the Susquehanna River Sta
tion was purchased for use at the
proposed Holland station but was
transferred to Middletown because

DRY FAILURE RELIGION LACK
Says Rev. Mr.. Relyea in Address
Defeating Two Flags at
First NJ. l..

Prohibition has not proven sue
cessful thus far because of the lack
of religious convictions of the ma
jority of the people in this country.
Such was the personal belief of
Rev. Harry Ayres Relyea expressed
during an address last night in
connection with the dedication of
two silk flags at the First Methodist
Episcopal church, Trenton.
"A nation is not great until the
moral standing of its citizenship is
great also" said Mr.. Relyea "and
the latter is to be obtained through
religion. To pass laws that must
be enforced the people must have
religion" 1t was at this juncture
that the minister told of his own
personal views on prohibition. "Pro-
hibtion has not been successful, as
| see it, because the majority of
people in this country lack religious
conviction" State Gazette

PROVE THAT PROHIBITION Is
A SUCCESS.
"While the Eighteenth Amend
ment has affected one class of So
ciety in manner not anticipated, it
is nevertheless an outstanding fact
that the real benefit to the masses
of our people and especially to the
man and women who are doing the
real work of the nation, is as great
if not greater, than was anticipated.
One has only to study the present
condition in industry and agriculture
to find that the drunkenness, in
stability and great economic loss that
were caused by the old time bar
room have entirely disappeared and
the productive work of the world is
proceeding in more orderly ana
efficient manner than ever before.
Homes have been frightened and
wives have found companionship.
