Japhet Price Tells
of Good Roads
Supervisor Declares New Jer-
sey Highway System Is
Among the Best.

New Jersey is among the lead
ers of the states in the union for
good roads," Japhet Price, county
road supervisor for Atlantic coun-
ty, declared Tuesday noon, when
the Kiwanis club met in the Coun-
try Club of Atlantic City at North
field.
"And road officials are constant
ly planning improvements which
will inevitably place our state at
the head of the list for paved
roads," he further declared.
Mr.. Price, who has been connect
ed with the county highway depart
ment for number of years, went
on to tell about many routine mat
ters pertaining to the county roads
which are handled by the Board of
Freeholders and the State Highway
Commission.
He gave the number of miles of
paved roads in the state, and de-
scribed roads which are now under
construction, and plans that have
been formulated to pave the princi-
pal highways, running from one
end Of the state to the other, as
we'll as crossing the state.
James Way, who has made many
admirers in broadcasting over sta
tion WPG entertained the members
Of the club with several selections.
The attendance prize, donated by
Irelan J. Doughty, was awarded to
Glenn Brewer. A special attend
ance prize was won by Henry Scull,
county probation officer. Robert
P. Carey lead the singing, music
being furnished by the Pleasant
vile Mite Owl Serenaders.

OLD MULE LEADS TO LIQUOR.
Troopers Find Stills in Cabin After
Finding Animal Near Woods.

When an old roam mule staggered
out of thicket near Weymouth
Tuesday and stood disconsolately
in the middle of the road with his
long ears looping down, the suspi-
cions of three Hammonton State
troopers were aroused.
They made sortie into the
woods and discovered a small log
shanty in which a 10O-gallon and a
25-gallon still were in operation.
Cached under the floor of the
cabin were eighty-five gallons of
alleged moonshine, which the troop
ers confiscated, along with five bar
re1s of mash.
The mule, it is believed, had eat
en- some of the mash which was in
one of the barrels that had been
placed outside the cabin.

Reminiscent of
Northern Fraree

Built on q lot so feet wide with
southern exposure, this beautiful
house at LaGrange, Ill.,, illustrates
style that is rapidly coming into
vogue.
The steeply pitched roof and
gables are reminiscent of northern
France, while the portland cement
stueco finish brings out a beauty
that is undeniably attractive. Con
trast is achieved by roofing the
house with multi-colored compo-
sition shingles.
Both foundation and above grade
walls of this house are built with
concrete masonry. (Either concrete
structural tile or hollow block may
be used) The dead air space
in the wall acts as insulation and
keeps the home cool in summer
and warm in winter for the
reason that outside temperature
changes cannot penetrate the
walls. In addition. the concrete
