Using Up The Match
Sticks And Scrap Wire

Someone has suggested that the
mystery has at last been solved as
to what goes with all the matches
that have been struck and the scrap
wire that it has been iunked. Judg-
ing by the constant Interruptions
Lambertville and other towns have
had in electric service, they must
have been used in building the
transmission line from Dover.
Every time the wind blows, - il
s"i's the rghts 7aa. emt, j"na %,
mutors stop. And ,hss isa's measure
there are constant siH iIitePPppddptions in
between for no apparent cause what
ever. One would think that the
children of the Company officials
are kept quiet by letting
them play with the switches. 7 Where
as, the public ought to be using the
switches, (not the electric kind on
the Company officials.
Following the IA hour Interrupt
ton of February II, ~ and l3
there were Interruptions on Febru-
airy 10 and 26. And as luck would
have it, these Interruptions always
come on Thursday when we want to
print this paper And as we have
to print too many papers to be
able to turn the presses by hand
of course we have to twiddle our
thumbs and fume and fret and
swear until the current stops its
playfulness and gets back to work
We have given the New Jersey
Power & Light Co. credit for want
ing to render good service at the
lowest rate possible. but it's about
time they made good on the pro
position. The Philadelphia Surbur
ban Co., which supplies New Hope
Just across the Delaware River from
Lambertvlle, supplies lighting cur
rent for 10c kilowatt. In Lambert
Vile the charge for lighting current
is l3c kilowatt.
At this rate the Jersey Com
pany could buy current from the
Philadelphia Company and relay it
TO Lambertville at a profit. For two
years this paper has advocated an
emergency connection on the bridge
for use during interruptions. Repre-
sentatives of the Company have
endorsed this proposal, but they
want to wait to build a tower trans
mission line across the river to
carry sufficient current for Lam
bertville, Stockton, Pennington and
adjacent territory. I'm the meantime
these constant Interruptions are
leaving us in darkness and with
out power to run our industries.
The Philadelphia Suburban Com
pany has agreed to the emergency
connection across the bridge, accord
ing to officials of the Jersey com
pany. The arrangement could have
been made at little expense and in
short time, and it would have
saved unlimited annoyance as well
as actual dollars and cents.
Now at last we are informed by
Harold Wilbur, of the Dover office,
that this emergency connection is to
be made this week.
That's right! Lock up the stable

SMALL FUR PIECES
FOR SUMNER WEAR
Warm Accessory May Not
Be Given Preference
OverFilmy Scarf.

It Is certain that the small fur
piece will again be fashionable, says
a fashion writer. 1t is almost equally
assured that summer furs will not be
so indiscriminately and universally
worn as they were for three seasons.
Women never made greater Sacri-
fee in the name of fashion than when
they wound about their necks pieces
Of warm, bushy fur on sweltering days
In town or under a blazing sun from
the gallery at tennis and golf matches.
The more pronounced the contrast be-
tween frOck and fur the more chic,
and fair skins were hardened in SEN
timent, at least, against the obvious
discomfort, to the display of a fox
skin or a bit Of sable over a frOck
Of diaphanous material. sanity and
sense Of moderation that appear to
be leaVening the whole Of clothes
have touched the dressing of the neck
and scarfs Of fur, wool, silk, crepe or
the gauzy stuffs will be displayed with
a better idea of taste and seasonable-
ness.
For spring, that Is now here,
neckpiece Of fur will be worn with
street suits Of almost every type, with
the one-piece, two-piece, the strictly
tailored and with some Of the en-
semble costumes. Fewer Of these
than formerly are trimmed with fur
about the neck though some have the
attached scarf, of fur or other mate
rial, both for protection and to give
finished appearance to the ensemble.
FOX Is pre-eminently the fur for spring.
Silver fox Is absolutely the rage, kit
fox, pointed" fox, the red and orange
and white. One full skin, perfect in
quality, Is most popular. A smaller
neckpiece Of sable, or any one Of the
new and cheaper furs, is very chic,
and some Of the latest things among
the imported novelties are standing
collars to close straight around the
neck. These also are made Of the
small furs, of ostrich or marabou. 1t
is considered smart to have the fur
neckpiece small, and the neck dressed
close, rather than fluffily, with the
very large scarfs that were worn two
seasons ago.
The woman who cannot abide fur
about her neck when the days are
warm will be able to find from an
elaborate display of new neckpieces
many beautiful scarfs of different
styles. Some are strikingly original.
For example, long straight scarf Of
snowy white liberty gauze, in fine
lengthwise plaits, Is trimmed at each

hemia, originated dance 1t is re-
corded that the room in which she
practiced her new dance was so small
that of a necessity her steps were verv
short, or only half-steps. So she
called it "Pulka," for pulka is the
word in her Bohemian tongue that
meant half. The craze for this dance
swept the civilized world, much as iazz
has taken possession Of the contem-
porary mind. At the height of its
fashion, the name was given to
new dress goods pattern. Of course,
the word had been Anglicized to
polka" and from that day to this, a
small dotted design has been known
as the polka-dot.
Sisters to the polka-dot are the PIN
dot and the coin-spot, the former being
smaller and the latter larger.

Polka Dots and Coin Spots in the Limelight

Dots and spots, polka dots and coin
spots are to deluge US this season like
an April shower. They range in size
from pinheads to large harlequins, and
of course appear in all the long range
Of colors used in fabrics, in gradu-
ated sizes and in graded tones and
shades they form the borders for plain
garments.
Dots fall into raindrops; expressed
into stripes worked out in harmonious
colors. Dots also appear in squares
of various sizes, and they outline buds,
blossoms and flowers, and they appear
in scrolls as well.
Dots and stripes are the most prim-
tive designs known to man. 1t re-
mains for the modern designers to
bring them up to date, and this they
have done by developing them into
borders, and into such a variety of
sizes and colors as to surpass any
previous move in the history Of the
textile industry.

OF Seasons Novelties

Fashion, which this season speaks
in terms Of color, has brought out few
things more delightfully."- smart than
the various costumes which prove so
conclusively that chintz and cretonne

the days gone by when their sole pur-
pose in life was to serve as decorative
hangings and furniture coverings.
Recently q designer well known for
her individual and distinctive modes

stunning coats for resort wear. Fash

Spring Skirts

Plaits are a feature in spring skirts.
No rule governs their placing except
that they are not to go evenly all the
way round. There may be an invert~
ed plat or two inverted at the center
front, panel style, or group of fine
plaits at the front or one side, or both
sides, or just few box or side plaits
at the side, stitched to within few
inches of the bottom. Where a belt Is

Patriotism must be responsible

of the treasury by man like Andrew

world and gets more criticism and
abuse than salary. With the coming
Of Lincoln G. Andrews to succeed AS

Undersecretary Winston will be-
come secretary of the World war for
eign debt commission, and will have
jurisdiction in handling all foreign
debt matters, two functions carried on
by Mr. WadswOrth. These will be in
addition to the regular duties assigned
to the understandings office.

Letter Grandchild Becomes Baroness

International marriages bring
about odd things. Mary Irene, eldest
daughter Of the late Lord Curzon, and
granddaughter of Levi z. Letter, Chi
cago merchant, inherits the baronies
Of Scarsdale and Ravendale and be-
comes a baroness through the death
of her father. She is daughter of
Mary Letter, whom Lord Curzon mar
ried in Washington in 1895 when he
was parliamentary secretary to the
British embassy. He later became
viceroy of India and his wife the
vicereine. She died in 1906. By the
marriage settlement drawn in Chicago,
Lord Curzon and his bride were pro-
vided with an income of 100000 a
year.
Once Lord Curzon and his wife's
relatives had a dispute over $1O,700.
