DRUNKEN DRIVER SMASHES
CARMODY AUTO
Struck Beyond Buckingham On
Philadelphia Road

Lambertville-A large Studebaker
, sedan driven by Thomas H. Carmo-
dy was struck yesterday morning on
the Philadelphia Road beyond Buck
ingham by Dodge touring car driv-
en- by Manuel Zeal, an employee of
the Moore Station Quarry. Zeal was
so badly intoxicated that he seemed
to have no control over his car as
he met the Carmody car, and he
sideswiped it with such force that
both left tenders, running board and
hub caps were smashed beyond re-
pair.
After striking the Carmody car,
Zeal attempted to escape, but he
seemed unable to drive and his car
jumped the ditch and plowed thru
the adjoining field where it stalled,
He and his companion, Jerry Rocco,
also an employee at the Moore Sta
ton Quarry, left the car and disap-
peared.
The Doylestown State Police were
notified and a Trooper was soon on
hand and began search for the
driver of the abandoned Dodge. Zeal
was soon found crouching in the
bushes. But he refused to give his
name, disclaiming ownership of the
car and claiming he was not the
driver.
In the meantime Trooper Wallace
had been notified at Lambertville as
the car carried Jersey license.
When he arrived at the scene he
soon Unidentified Zeal from a list
he carried of the Quarry employees,
and by the licence card found in the
car. Whereupon Zeal was locked up
in the Doylestown Jail. But he re-
fused to divulge the identity of his
companion who had escaped,
After returning to Lambertville
Trooper Wallace checked up on the
employees absent from the Quarry,
and shortly after found Rocco on
Trenton bus. He said he was head
cd for Philadelphia. He was turned
over to the Doylestown Police and
also locked up. Father Joseph f.
Mahoney of St. Johns Catholic
Church, was riding with Carmody at
the time of the accident The car
was removed to Kilroy's Garage
where it is undergoing repairs.

Makes Record At
MOOSehearf
Dorothy Snyder Graduates With
HOnors

Lambertville can boast little OF
the record made by one of its daugh-
ters. Miss Dorothy Oblinger Snyder
in the school at Mooseheart, Ill.
maintained by the Loyal Order OF
Moose for academic and vocational
training of children of its deceased
members. She was graduated on
the Fourth of July in the most dis
tinguished class in the history of
the school. The lowest mark OBJ
tanned by any of its thirty-five men,
bers, sixteen boys and nineteen girls,
was 81 out of possible 100.
Dorothy is the second of the four
daughters of the late Peter Snyder,
clerk, who joined Lodge No. 217,
of Moose in March, 1910, and died
during the influenza epidemic in
October 1918, leaving no property.
The lodge acted promptly after a
brave struggle had been made for
selfsupport, and Mrs. Snyder went
to Mooseheart with her four little
girls in September, 1919. There she
has found congenial employment as
matron of one of the residence halls.
Her eldest child, Mildred, was grad
uated- two years ago and has since
married former Mooseheart boy;
the third daughter is freshman in
the high school, and the youngest,
IL years old, is in the GA grade of
the grammar school.
Dorothy not only did well in her
studies, but is among the first
three girls in her vocation of short
hand, bookkeeping, tipping, comp
tometry, in preparation for Sec
retarial position. She also made a
mark for herself in music, singing
in the church choir for the last five
years, and in the glee club fow the
last four years, taking part in the
May festival, the pageants, and the
Easter cantatas and broadcasting
from the Mooseheart radio station,
w j J d.
She bore her share in the gov
eminent of the school as a men,
Der of the general students council
in 1923, and was one of the Camp
! Fire Girls for five years, being
treasurer of the organization last
year. She was junior clerk of the
school assembly the same year. And
in the girls athletics she has twice
won her school letter, having been
member of the athletic associa-
ton for there years, in the gym
nasium class for five years, captain
lof the, indoor baseball team, and in
the volley ball, punch ball, kick ball
and track teams.
Lambertville can very well afford
to be proud of such an all-around
American girl with such record,
the more so that she is reasonably
certain to do still better when
she gets into the greater world
outside of Mooseheart and is given
her full chance.
Mooseheart was founded in July,
1913, by Secretary of Labor James
]. Davis, director general of the
Loyal Order of Moose, who wanted
to carry out his thought that,
every child is entitled to at least
high school education and use
full trade" Fathers purchase Moose
heart service for their children by
having membership in the Moose
order and paying four cents the
week,

Elephants, especial praise must be
accorded the Lambertville Band

a band in Lambertville could ever
hold together for any length of
time. But the present organization
has been organized for year and
n half and has been rendering good
service. This band had twenty-nine
pieces in line on Monday, and the
music they rendered showed studious
practice and accomplishment.
