UPPER LAKE VETERANS
GRATEFUL FOR LAM

A shipment of sweaters, made by
the Lambertville members of The Red
Cross, was gratefully received b.
ex-serviee men in the hospital AZ

w. Case, chairman of the County
Red Cross at Pennington, has writ
ten Mrs. Helen Young, local chair
man, enclosing letter from one
Red Cross nurse telling how helpful
the sweaters were to the men.
She said, "You cannot imagine
how thankful we are; they ,are
worth their weight in gold, and are
given away very carefullY-only to
men who need them badly-men to
whom the Government furnishes
medical treatment, but not eompensa-

of these men have families, who, we
know, need every cent"
Mrs. Young reports that gener-
Gus responses were received to the
appeal for "Beanies," the knitted
caps also being supplied veterans in
hospitals. And it is hoped that the
knowledge of the gratefulness with
which these are received by the men
will help to keep up the good wo =

BETTY BRONSON AGAIN
AT SrpD n ~
Pine Organ Has Been Renovated
With Promise OF Better Music

Lambertville - Betty Bronson,
Trenton actress, whose flight to star
dom was accomplished in "Peter
Pan," will be seen in a new feature
at the Strand Saturday. The new
play is "The Golden Pincess." The
title might well be the name to give
to Betty, for she is truly Golden
Princess" whose natural charm and
beauty, together with her realistic
genius for acting, makes her one of
the most appealing figures on the
screen today.
To see her is to love her, and her
part in 1.-THE Golden Princess" makes
her more adorable than ever, The
picture is from Bret Harte's rous-
ing romance, story of love and
action which will satisfy the most
exacting movie fan.
The Strand announces complete re-
pairs to the pipe organ in the thea
tire. A player attachment has been
added for overtures and intermis-
sions. 1t is hoped that a greater
variety of music can be rendered so
that the atmosphere of the pictures
will not be destroyed as heretofore
with the constant repetition of worn
out tunes.

Mark OF Progress
For LamberfviHe
Nearly A Thousand Electricity Users
Here

Lambertville-It is significant that
there are 919 users of electricity
in and around Lambertville means
that a great majority of the homes
are lighted with electricity. Based on
the Census Bureaus estimates of be-
tween four and five persons to the
family, there are approximately LOO
houses in Lambertville with its popu-
lation of 5000 people.
But of course some of these users
of electricity are outside the city
limits of Lambertville, and would
not be included in its population
This is verified by p. II. Skillman,
of p II. Skillman & Son, electrical
contractors. He says that suburban
residents are rapidly eleetrifying
their homes, and that the demands
for his work are coming from all the
communities. However,
the activities of his force of work
men have been largely confined to
Lambertville and New Hope because
of the unusual demands for electri.
cal work coming from local residents.
In fact, demands for electrical
work have increased so rapidly that
Mr.. Skillman has just added another
iourneyman electrician to his staff
Josph Ash is the new man, max
ing six men on Mr.. Skillman's staff,
himself. The others are
Leon Skillman, Merlin Stout, Irwin
Stout and Frank Sperling.
One reason for the increased num-
Der of electricity users is the fact
that the New Jersey Power& Light
Company has voluntarily made two
reductions in the rate since they
took over this territory. This makes
the cost so low that few can afford
to be without electricity.

Of one week for its life. The baby
had been i'll for two weeks, and last
week DR.. George w. Stoler, cousin
Of the VanCamps, from Lancaster,
came here and took him to the hos
pital, where a rare and very dell
cate operation was performed. At
first the baby's life was despaired
Of, but on Sunday there was turn
for the better, and it continued 20
improve until this morning, when a
sudden attack Of indigestion caused
its death. Dr. Stoler and the Lan-
caster hospital has been making a
speciality of baby diseases, and both
have been very successful in a large
number of cases that would ordin-
ally have proven fatal.

HeIbecks Buy For
mer Davenport Home
Batik Artists Acquire House Built
In 1913

New Hope-Mr, and Mrs. Paul
Helbeck, batik artists, have pur-
chased the former Davenport prop
erty on the Tow Path near Rabbit
Run Bridge. They have been renting
the property for several months, but
became so attached to 1t that they
wanted to maintain permanent
studio there, and accordingly have
completed the purchase.
Mr.. and Mrs. Don Davenport ac-
quired the property in 1906, and it
was there the New Hope Hand
Looms remained until 1924 when
they acquired the property they now
occupy at the bend of the road on
upper North Main street.
The house was originally ten
ant house with only three rooms.
The Davenports enlarged it to nine
rooms, providing all modern COM
forts and conveniences while still
retaining the charm of an old struc-
ture. The Helbecks purchased the
house and a 170-foot frontage on
the upper end of the property. This
leaves 100 feet on the lower half,
and on which stands the hand loom
studios formerly used by the Daven-
ports.
The Helbecks, Immediately prior
to their coming here, had studio
in Meadowbrook, near Philadelphia.
They had an exhibition there during
the Christmas holidays. Previous to
that they had studio in Boston.
Their work in batiks is principally
on cotton and linen fabrics, but
they also do such articles as blouses
in silks.
At present they have an exhibition
of their work in the gallery of the
Society of Craftsmen in New York
City, and Mrs. Helbeck says that
they are preparing to hold local
exhibit in the near future.

LOCAL MEN AT
BRIDGE REVIEW
Commissioner Cooper, Assembyman
Prall and Editor Cooper Present
at Philadelphia Camden
Bridge Inspection

| Lambertville-A memorable event
in the history of the Philadelphia.
Camden Delaware River Bridge took
place last Friday when the Cover
nors of Pennsylvania and New Jer.
sey, together with their Senator's
Assemblymen and Bridge Commits
! sion members made tour of in
spection on the structure. Among
those participating in the event were
Assemblyman Horace G.. Prall, Com
missioner Joseph w. Cooper, of the
Commission for the Elimination of
Toll Bridges over the Delaware Riv-
err and Editor Gordon Cooper, who
is secretary to the Commission.
Special invitations and admission
cards We're issued to the 400 odd par
Elephants, who assembled at the
Philadelphia end of the Bridge. Dur
ing the wait newspaper reporters and
photographers, together with news
reel photographers beseiged the as
semblage until the start across the
structure at eleven O'Clock Altho it
had been planned that stops would
be made for detailed examinations
of the structure, Governors Pinchot
and Moore set such a rapid pace that
the delegation was kept at trot
to keep up.
The bridge is nearly two miles
long from approach to approach, and
the trip across took forty minutes.
The main roadway will accommodate
eight lines of vehicles, there are four
trolley lines carried on the tracks
outside the roadway, and the foot
walk for pedestrians is elevated
above the trolley tracks. There is
also subway station beneath the
floor of the Pennsylvania side of the
bridge.
There are eighty thousand strands
of steel wire forming each of the
two huge cables that support the
structure. These are anchored far
below the floor of the structure on
each side of the river, and pass
over the steel towers with suspen-
sion cables reaching from them to
the floor of the bridge. 1t is TIE
same type of structure as that Of
the Brooklyn Bridge, but Of much
greater dimensions. The main road
way is already completed and 1t
isa planned. to open the bridge %
traffic on July Fourth when eele-
bration will be staged there in con-
nection with the Sesqui- Centennial
Exposition.
The assemblage was conducted
across the bridge by the Camden
Municipal Band and mounted troop
ers of both the Pennsylvania and
New Jersey State Police. Incident
ally, Trooper Wilson, who was for
merry stationed at Lambertvillc, was
one Of the mounted troopers. AT the
Camden end of the bridge the dele
cation was met by a detachment
of the Camden Police who formed
paralleled columns at salute as the
visitors entered that city.
The delegation went in body to
the new Walt Whitman Hotel adioin-
ny the Bridge Plaza, and there was
served in the ball room with an ap-
petizing luncheon consisting chiefly
of what was supposed to be Deia-
ware Shad. CT was good, but we
Of the upper Delaware were rather
sceptical Of it being Delaware Shad
this early in the season.
