TERROR IS FELT
 BY TOLEDO WOMEN
Meanwhile, Spurred by Reward
 Offers, Police Hunt Slayer

Toledo, Ohio. Oct. 27 CP)--SpeCial squads of man hunters organized to solve Toledo's mysterious women- murders began thorough search today for the slayers of Miss Lily Croy, e6 year old school teacher, found dead early yesterday and Mrs. Mary Alden, 47, who was slain with two pistol bullets in her home a few hours later.
 The brutal staying of Miss Croy, whose skull was crushed with a blunt club has aroused the city to a point where stringent police protec- tion of women in the popuous dis tricts has been demanded of the police department Special details guarded the streets last night.
 Toledo teachers, aroused at the killing of Miss Croy, have posted a reward ot s1.oOO for the capture of the "clubber"
 Women of Toledo were warned today by Chief of Police Jennings not to walk in the dark districts un- escorted until police can quiz sus- poets in the latest club staying.
 The city has offered Sl,000 re- ward for the "clubber's" arrest, Toledo newspaper $500 and the To- led Automobile club $l00.
 Police are firm in their conviction that the staying is mentally defec- tive but confess they are otherwise clueless.
 Police secuted the theory that the slugger killed Mrs. Alden. pointing to dissimilarity in the crimes
 A few clues culled from hundreds of tips have proved fruitless and police today resumed the search with the trail as clean as yesterday when tho search started.

The team, besides being stronger in every department, has had the benefit of excellent coaching this season. A bag full Of trick plays will be sprung on New Britain and the local combination will have to go at full steam every minute to make good the promise that All-New Bri- tain will win.

It is a we'll known fact that the promoters of both teams are in the hole" financially and two games between their teams would certainly bring the exchequer back to some- where near normal. Besides this, the fans of both cities are hungry for the games to be played and at last it seems as if the promoters have come to the conclusion that it is better to forget petty differences and serve a popular dish.

To make things sure that New Britain will be all set in the back field, Manager Daley has secured Thompson, the Pennsylvania Flash. for Sundays game. The Submarine Base team has been taken lightly on Its previous appearances here but fans will remember that New Bri- tain barely beat them last year and the status quo of the eleven this season is very different.

COMPETITION IN WORRIES

One who goes into the market to buy motor car today is naturally confused
 He has read the words bestand greatest so often that they have ceased to be convincing. Where all IS best, he reflects, there can be no best. Thousand-doar cars have been described tohim in ten-thousand dollar language. And vice versa. He finds himself the target in a war of adjec- lives; the helpless victim in a gigantic competi- ton of words.
 And so he is forced to rely on chance-the advice Of triends-or his own limited experience. Dodge Brothers, Inc, have never participated in this verbal competition.
 They are content with the position they have long maintained in the far more vital competition of honest value
 They have continued steadily to improve their product, not only in comfort and beauty, but basicaHy-beneath the boay and hood where fundamental values lie.
 Yet they have not unduly stressed each better nent that has marked the steady progress of their motor toward higher perfection And when economic conditions or greater sales have permitted them to reduce prices without reducing quality, they have announced the fact without excessive emphasis.
 Unexaggerated truth is not spectacular But in the long run, implicit public confidence has been Dodge Brothers reward and this they propose to preserve forever by continuing to build just little better than they tell

The locals have not gone stale but a layoff of two weeks doesn't do any team any good. For that reason, Coach Hayes intends to impress it upon all the players that they will have to play their hardest to win.

It may be found to be a difficult thing for the Hartford team to set aside the game with the Canton Bulldogs. Already the Hartford team has postponed one game but the management was required to pay the guarantee which would be given the team which was scheduled to come to Hartford. It may be necessary to do the same thing again q week from Sunday.

FIRST HARD COAL REACHES
LAMBERTVILLE SINCE STRIK Z

The first hard coal to reach Lam
bertville since the strike was a car
load of Chestnut received last
Thursday by George w. Massey. He
is selling it at $3.50 perton.
On Friday Chester Niece received
a carload of Stove coal, and on
Monday a car of Chestnut. He is
selling the Stove for SLABS a tor,
and the Chestnut at S14-00. This is
only 75c a ton higher than the
price before the strike. 1t is under
stood that a premium had to he
paid to secure the shipments so early
after the. settlement of the strike,
but this should not mean that the
higher price will prevail after nor
NAL conditions are attained at the
mines.
j. L. Fields G. Co. said on Monday
that they had refused to pay the
extra costs for premiums, and that
they didn't expect any shipments of
hard coal until next week.

chestnut on Monday. He is selling

Get S33,257.49 For
Road improvements
Bucks County Benefits From Case
line Tax

Report has just been received from
State Treasurer, Samuel S. Lewis,
to the effect that Bucks County re-
ceives $33, 267.49 from the 1925
gasoline tax for highway improve
ments. For the period ending June
30, 1925 the amount coming to Bucks
County was SIS, 2S658,and for the
period ending December 81 the
amount was $17,980.9I.
Mr.. Lewis reports that the total
amount received from the gasoline
tax during the year was $l0,574,-
41248. OF this amount $2,66l ,703.64
is proportional to the counties of
the State for road improvements.
The balance was paid into the Cen
eral Fund and the State Motor Fund.
/ But in the future none of the re-
ceipts will be paid into the General
Fund. The new act last year pro
vides that all the gasoline tax will
be used directly for construction, re-
construction, maintenance and repair
Of roads, and for the payment of
interest on bonds issued for road
purposes. The payments are made to
the counties on the first Of February
and the first of August of each
year.
The new law means that the
counties will receive nearly twice as
much each year directly from the
gasoline tax. This also means that
improvements can be expected on
local highways.

SIGN FOR EDISON BRIDGE

In order to reduce the hazard of
motor travel on the Doylestown Pike
at the Edison Bridge, the Keystone
Automobile Club recently offered to
erect redhex warning signs at this
point.
The State Highway Department
at that time agreed to erect the
standard type of sign now being
used by that Department. This work
up to the present time has not been
put thru.
In letter received recently, how
ever, George f. Nagele, Assistant
Engineer of the State Highway De-

those signs had been ordered and
will be erected as soon as they
are received
There seems to be little doubt
that the signs will be in place be

OF Early Patriots
Congressman Watson Gets Bill
Passed For Care OF Revolu-
tionary Graves At Neely's
Mill

New Hope community continues to
play a part in the historic develop
ment Of the country, Congressman
Henry w. Watson, from this dis
trict, has just succeeded in getting
an amendment passed in Congress
which adds TO the War Department
appropriation bill $4,000 to cover
the cost of suitable markings for
the graves Of Revolutionary soldiers
buried near Neely's Mill two miles
below New Hope
During the days preceding Wash
ngton's Crossing Of the Delaware
there were four brgades of sol
diers camped around the Nicely
homestead and mill near Bowman's
Hill Some Of the officers, among
them Captain James Moore, were
housed in the Nealey Homestead,
(Which was then occupied by Robert
Thompson) Captain Moore died
there and was buried with other
soldiers near the creek. Only his
grave is marked, presumably by his
parents, and the others are iden-
titled only with stones gathered from
the locality.
The homestead and surrounding
property has been acquired by the
Washington Crossing Park Memoir
ial Commission, and as soon as it
can be restored it is to be opened
to the public as one e the shrines
Of patriotism in the Washington
Park Reserve. The fund provided in
Congressman Watson's bill will pro-
vide suitable memorials for the
graves there, and serve as a tri-
butte to those dauntless spirits whose
sacrifice draws thousands of sight
seeing motorists every year.
