VI O THEIR

monies of martyr-spirited mothers.
And what one of us has anything
to boast Of or look upon with pride,
that was not. planted in our hearts
and minds by praying, self
denying mother?
Whatever this world possesses
that charms the eye or soothes the
ear, that fascinates the spirit or
thrills the soul, has maternity in
every line and mother love in every
throb.
The touch of that tender hand
is traced on every school, on every
hospital, on every orphans home,
on every almshouse, on every mis-
sion, on every church, on every
home.
The better hand of man is
mother; the better half of life is
mother; the better half of our joys
is mother; the better half of our
hope is mother; the better half
of our religion is mother, and the
better half of our existence is
mother.
The nations have no greater hope
than mother; the nations have no
more sacred trust than mother; the
nations have no more worthy
heroes to honor than mothers, and
there is no anniversary of wars, or
discoveries, or inventions or har-
vests, or seasons more worthy of
a day of respect and reverence
than "MotherS' Day."

To Hold Hearine
On Reading Bus
Line March Goth

New Hope--Boro President White
ly announces that notification has
been received that hearing will be
held March Goth on the proposed
Reading Bus Line between here and
Philadelphia. No serious opposition
is anticipated TO the granting of
the franchise, but there has been
some complaint from Buckingham
Valley, Wycombe and Rushland.
However, the Borough Council is
keeping in touch with the situation
in order to safeguard service into
and out of New Hope
1t has been proposed by the Read
ing Company to take off the trains
leaving here for Philadelphia at
$3.50 A. M. and COS P. M, and the
trains arriving here at 1906 and
3:18 F. M. as soon as the busses
are started But they promise to
give more BUSES than the trains
taken off if business justiiies it. At
present there are ten trains daily
in and out of New Hope-ilve eaeh
way.
The complaints, however, from
Buckingham Valley, Wycombe and
husband are based on the fact
that the buses will not run direct
ly thru these towns. 1t has been
found that the roads connecting
these places with the York Road'
(Which will be the main route for
the busses,) are too narrow and have
turns too sharp to allow the big
busse to operate over them. How
ever, it is being advocated that the
roads should be improved anyway,
and that in view of securing SER
vice oftener with the busses than
with the trains, it will be to the
public interest to improve the roads.

An Appeal To
Radio Fans
Local Interference Caused BY
Careless Operation

Lambertville-Loc radio fans
last Sunday evening repsuN serious
local interference was suffered
around the center of town, and
it was diagnosed by Nelson Rit-
tenhouse as having been caused by
careless operation of some particular
receiving set. This same trouble was
experienced about year ago, and
it turned out to be caused by in
experienced people operating 70
ceiving sets so that frictions were
set up in the receiving sets which
caused them to broadcast horrible
noises that ruined the reception fer
every set in the vicinity.
An appeal was made at thai time
that operators of sets be careful in
tuning in their machines. The dials
should be carefully and slowly NOV
ed to avoid fricitons which set MP
broadcasting noises. The trouble wa
quickly overcome last year after
the appeal was made, and Mr. RDt-
tenhouse rendered valuable ass
lance in advising owners of machines
how to avoid the trouble.
Mr.. Rittenhouse reported that on
Sunday evening his own reception
was ruined by similar friction noises,
and he was kept busy answering
complaints of others WIN phoned or
called in person to find out what
was the trouble. He said that his
Investigations by process of elm
nation located the trouble as com
ing from point around the corner
of North Union and Coryell.
The careless twirling of the dials
is the chief cause of . the trouble
This sets up friction which turns
the set into broadcasting, and these
horrible noises completely destroys
reception, not only on the machine
being misused, but on every other
machine in the vicinity.
The Government takes strenuous
action on such cases when they are
found to be malicious, but because
it is possible that the trouble wa
caused by thoughtlessness or care
lessness; Mr.. Rittenhouse suggest
that all local fans be appealed t.
before any report be made to the
authorities. He says he will be glaC
to advise those who are not thor.
oughly familiar with the proper
handling of set if they will call OF
him.

amused the Americans and Hopkin-

the festivities of Joseph Bonaparte,
who had been King of Spain and OF

titled men, generals and statesmen
