A pleased customer Is the best ad vertisement and the quick and efficient service given at this busy shop has aided materially In assuring the splendid succeas of the business. Mr. Wolpert carries the latest radio and receiving sets put on the market by well-known concerns like Zenith, Majestic, Eveready and Steinlte. He has loud speakers made by the Peerless and Farrand concerns, all guaranteed to give best results.

He caters to a large and satisfied clientele in Bldgewood and all parts of Brooklyn. Four' efficient men are employed regularly at the shop, and additional ones are engaged In busy seasons.

Free service for one year on all new radios sold by the Wolpert stores appeals to customers. The prompt service at all times makes many new friends for the owner.

CANARS1E ON MAI FOR IMPROVEMENTS In an Interview with Paul Goetz, president of the Canarsle Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce, Wednesday evening, a representative of The Chat received Information that Indicates that Canarsle Is In store for numerous Improvements. Several of them will become effective In the near future. Mr. Goetz said that he had devoted the entire day visiting and consulting borough officials. One of the main reasons why he had decided to go downtown was by virtue of the fact that there was existing a serious condition at Stillwell lane and Remsen avenue.

The reporter had Informed Mr. Goetz early Wednesday morning that at that location there were two excavations resulting from two houses being recently demolished as part of the city's program to open Remsen avenue. Mr. Goetz conducted a personal Investigation and realizing the seriousness of the situation proceeded to have the condition remedied. Upon conclusion of his conferences with Phillip A.

Farley, Consulting Engineer to the Borough President, and Superintendent of Buildings Flanagan, he was referred to Mr. Tenney, Superintendent of the Highway Department who promised that the excavations would be properly filled Mr. Goetz said that the contract for grading and pavlnst that street, has been let out and that he could say that the work would be completed within three months. He added that Mr. Farley informed him that every street that has been duly petitioned will receive sidewalks and curbs.

It will not be necessary for the Board of Estimate to ap prove these petitions. Foster avenue Is to be sewered from Ralph avenue to Rockaway parkway and will be brought to grade as far as Eist 103th street, thus affording connecting link between Flatbush and Canarsle and lncidently Van Der Veer Crossings. Sea View avenue Is to be graded and paved from Remsen avenue to Rockaway parkway and Rockaway parkway to be payed from Sea View avenue to the Canarsle Pier. These Improvements are to become effective within three months, and Rockaway parkway is to be graded and paved from Flatlands avenue to Sea View avenue within six months. Res.

DENIES OPPOSITION TO BUSHWICK SCHOOL SITE (Continued from Page 1) was still looking for a site south of Broadway RncI it was at this point that I arose to say: think the committee on sites Is overlooking a good bet by failing to look over the tract of land the city now owns in Upper Bushwick which for transit facilities and quietude ex-cells any that could bo selected and which will entail less cost to the "It was then decided to invite Inspection of this tract of land and within forty-eight hours we received an official reply that the committee on sli.es had selected the site at At lantic and Hopklnson avenue.

"We immediately questioned the wisdom or this action, we realized that the area south of Broadway and lying between Bedford avenue and Pennsylvania avenue has five day high schools and the Continuation School and that within the same area north of Broadway there are but two permanent day high Bchools and the one being conducted In former P. 8. 85. By thl3 action it was-intended to favor the area south of Broadway with a sixth day high school and leave our section with only two. Why should Bushwick and Williamsburgh countenance this inequality? "A further study of the proposal clearly indicated, that the Bhif means nothing to the graduates of Junior High Bchools 109 and 66 since the distance between the new site and the homes of the graduates could not be considered a reasonable walking distance.

In reality it meant that the graduates of Junior High School 178 were to be favored and that those from our own Junior High School 151 who had to endure hardships during the years that P. S. 85 was used as the F. K. Lane High School were again being compelled to carry the burdeit.

"We maintain that any proposal which has for Its purpose the taking from one locality something they have had and to favor a far-distant locality with that something requires more thought p.nd study than has been given this proposition. We believe that this matter should be referred back to the Department of Education so that the views of those south of Broadway may be presented. We characterize the expenditure of money for this costly Atlantic avenue site ts a wanton waste of money. We maintain that inasmuch as the city rcw owns one half of the block on which P. S.

85 Is situated that it would be of greater Interest to the taxpayer if the city would take title to the remaining half of this city block If the area Is not sufficient in size then there can be no logical ol jectlon to the purchase of an additional 100 feet by 600 to the west of this block which with the highway would furnish a site 600 by 360. It is intended to close Pacific street and there can bo Just as much said In favor of closing Eldert street as there can be said in favor of closing Pacific street. As a last resort if the continuation of the high school Is considered inadvisable as far west as Covert street then let the committee on sites look over Borne of the city owned sites In Upper Bushwick, for, after all. this section is in reality midway betv en the Thomas Jefferson and the Bushwick High Schools.

"It is about time Williamsburgh and Bu3hwick figured on some Improvement that will at least keep property up to the standard that it aeserves. The proposed route will introduce a direct route from middle Manhattan to Long-Island and to the Rcckaways and at the same time bring people from Manhattan to Williamsburgh and Bushwick, thereby increasing business, not alone for Bushwick avenue, but for Broadway and Knickerbocker avenues as well. "We are standing today like the merchant In business who stands still and allows the other sections to increase In business and Improvements. We must enap out of this apparent lethargy.

"The contention of the proponents of the Atlantic avenue site that It ti centrally located is disproved by a study of the recent graduation figures. It will favor the 197 graduates from School 178 which Is within 400 feet of the House of Good Shepherd but it will not be of any great, value to the 248 graduates from schools 109 and 66, nor to the 148 graduates from 151, 136, 148, 149, 171 and 196.

Under existing conditions the school is within reasonable walking dtiitance of Schools 178 and 151, which at the last graduation transferred more than 60 per cent of the total number entering the high school and if the activities of this school are shifted to Upper Bushwick will not hurt these craritiAtpx And yet it will bring the school closer to the two Brownsville Bchools 109 and 6B, whlci together sent 248 graduates af. tVia loot, toptn Louis Mayer Has Good Jewelry at Inexpensive Prices Many peoplelove nice Jewelry, but because they have the impression that it must be costly to be good, they go through life admiring it on other fplks. This is a mistaken Impression, according to Louis Mayer, who conducts a Jewelry store at 350 Wilson avenue, corner of Gates avenue. He Is prepared to prove that Jewelry of the better kind may be had at reasonablo prices. Mr.

Mayer boasts a fine stock of diamonds, watches, high grade platU-num work and everything found in an up-to-date shop of its kind. A splendid assortment of gift articles may be found there at all times. During holiday seasons this stock is Increased to meet the demands. Customers agree it pays to shop at the Mayer headquarters. Money is saved and the purchases are more satisfactory than some made at high priced stores.

For fourteen years Mr. Mayer has enjoyed success at the present address. In that time he has gained a large clientel of satisfied customers. In addition to the attractive assortment of Jewelry, he conducts a watch and clock repairing department. Timepieces that have apparently become useless are put back to running condition by the efficient repair men in Mr.

Mayer's employ. New works have been placed in costly wrist watch frames at small cost, and the owners are assured of service -for an extended time. Mr. Mayer done repair work for over thirty-four yuai 3. Mantle and wall clocks, large or small, it makes no difference, if it is at all possible to restore them to usefulness, Mr.

Mayer will quote a reg-sonable price and guarantee results. Another well patronized department in the Mayer store Is one where eyeglasses are made and fitted. Prescriptions are carefully filled.

Ward Equipment Also Gifts Reported At Monday night's annual meeting of the Wyckoff Heights Hospital Society the announcement that President John Welz and George F.

Trommer have donated a new ambulance of the latest type was greeted with tremendous applause. The annual meeting attended by a large membership was held af the hospital, St. Nicholas avenue and Stanhope street and in the absence of President Welz, who Is at Palm Beach, and the first vice-president, Philip Jung, at Hot Springs. Engelbert Blck, second vice-president, presided. Secretary Loulj G.

Burger recorded. Another surprise came with the further announcement that Paul M. Marko, member of the hospital board, and "Zeppelin" passenger on the last trip from here to Germany, has donated the equipment of five of the private patients' rooms with the latest product of metal furniture suites, while Florian Mennlnger, also of the hospital board, has likewise donated such a suite. While the enthusiasm over the generous gifts was at high pitch, the unanimous re-election of the twelve trustees for a continued period of three years brought out another endless applause. The re-elected trustees are: Engelbert Bick, Walter Eitelbach.

George Emener, Charles Froeb, Joseph Huber, George W. Hudtwalker, Michael Kraus. Paul M. Marko, William Ruck, J. W.

Scho-maker, Louis Stauch and Rudolph Stutzmann. The members of the Nurses' Training School Committee, consisting of Jacob Bartschcrer, George Burkard, M.D., Albert C. Eennlnger. Henry C. Bohack, John Bossert, Fred E.

Strebel, Joseph Wackermann, Frederick Welsbrod, and Mon-slgnor John C. York also were reelected for three years. The annual administration reports of the hospital, presented by Secre tary Louis G. Burger and Suporln tendent Henry Schuesslcr, showed a marked progress of the general ac tivlties, but again proved the great need of a larger hospital or a new annex to meet all the demands of the community's unfortunate sick people. i In consequence of this gveat need of a larger hospital, another effort is to be made as soon as possible, says the message of President Welz, to raise the yet required funds to build the proposed wing on the vacant grounds of the Institution.

It is estimated that the new wing would cost approximately $500,000, of which amount only about half has been raised so far. During the last two months the hospital, said Superintendent Schuessler, was practically overcrowded, and yet all efforts were made to accommodate every sick person coming to the hospital, at great sacrifices of the nurses and physicians. Nearly $200,000 were appropriated by the Hospital Society during the last two years to modernize the present hospital, and to build an annex In which a new maternity, a new pathological laboratory, a new nurses dining room and a largo storeroom are now located. The entire operating floor was completely rebuilt, and new sterilizing rooms, new doctors' dressing rooms and other facilities were Installed, which allow greater general hospital service. A most modem cystoscopic room was equipped with the latest apparatus through a donation from the family of the late Carl C.

D. Zer-weck. This new department is under supervision of Dr. Leo Buerger. The new compensation clinic opened last summer, under the supervision of Dr.

W. B. Rosecrans, Is well supported by the many local business firms and manufacturers in the hospital's area, and beyond that, was the report of the superintendent. The Wllllamsburger Saengerbund. the oldest German singing society in Brooklyn, it was pointed out by Superintendent Schuessler, Is giving a concert at the Bushwick High School Sunday evening, April 28, for the benefit of the charity fund.

Fritz Jessinger, president of the Saengerbund, Indicated that this concert would be one of the greatest musical events so far held by the society. The hospital board of 1929 at Its meeting to be held In March will elect Its officers for the year, and President Welz will appoint the va- there has been acute need, time has, for example, been taken to arrange for a mentally defective girl of 15 to be given a vocational covirse. After a few months training she will ha7e become skillful with her hands and will be able to make a fair living for herself. Left an orphan six years ago the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities has tried, with the help of an aged grandmother, to fill the place of her parents. It has been necessary to provide her and her two little sisters with food and clothing which her grandmother could not afford.

Although handicapped with slow mental faculties, there Is every reason to believe she will make a good cttjzen. She Is neat, clean, polite, honest, reliable, and is to be a skilled worker. What a different story this might have been. This Is but one Instance. The need whatever It may be is met if possible.

Medical care Is provided, convalescent care arranged for, educational opportunities afforded, leg.il advic? given, depending on what the need may be. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin J. Broglle of HOo Halsey street had as thir guests for the past week Mrs.

The total receipts of the dispensary were but $2,220,75, of which only $407.25 was for medicines, etc. It Is found that the costs for each treatment in the dispensary Is approximately a little more than one dollar, hence a support of about $10,000 has been the appropriation of the society to properly maintain the dispensary department, exclusive of the salaries of the personnel, registrar, druggist and utility clerk. Much endeavor Is made at the time, a3 per report of the ways and means committee, headed by Charles Froeb, president of the Lincoln Savings Bank, to increase the society mcmbcrshop.

F. ROGERS Plumbing and Heating Advice Freely Given 384 WILStoN AVENUE Brooklyn, N. Y. brate Decision in Despite the fact that the Board of Elections In Long Island City gave him a personal demonstration and showed where the voting machine contains the roll of paper where the names of candidates, other than those listed by the different parties, can be written in, Robert J. Schneider, president of the Rldgewood Taxpayers and Business Men's Association, is far from being convinced that the machines do not take away the rights of the voter.

So set has this active civic worker become in his opinion he Is prepared to advocate the return of the paper ballot, believing this Is the only and proper means whereby a voter Is given every opportunity to vote correctly. When Mr. Schneider originally recorded his objections to the machine a letter was forwarded to the Board of Elections iu Brooklyn and from Chief Clerk S. Howard Cohen. A reply was received last week stating there Is a paper roll at the top of the machine on which other candidates' names may be written in and voted for.

Chairman Schneider saw this roll at the demonstration, but, he declares, the space allowed by the slots about 30 of them was not large enough to write a name of 12 to 14 letters. Abbreviation Is out of the question because the Election Law does not permit it and Mr. Schneider declined to write In that way when it was suggested by one of the clerks. He states he tried to write in the nama of John F. Hylau, but the best he could do was to get as far as "Hyl" and had to leave off the "an" because there was no more room to write.

Furthermore, the machines are about six feet high and a short man or woman would be up against dif ficulty because the slot cover must be held up by one hand while the voter writes In the name. Mr. Schneider maintains that the roll of paper for additional names is merely there to cover the law. No one Is told about It being at the top of the machine and when sample ma chines were displayed prior to the last election, he charges, the roll was missing. A plea to eliminate the machines will be prepared at the meeting of the association to be held Tuesday evening, March 8, at the Irving Branch Public Library, Irving avenue and Woodbine street.

This meeting also will serve as a celebration of the decision In the gas rate hearings, in which Mr. Schneider and Jacob Brenner, counsel to the organization, took an active part, attending practically every hearing held before the Public Service Com mission. It was Schneider who made the motion the opening of tne proceedings to preclude Commissioner Van Namee for sitting, charging lie decided against the consumers In a previous gas rate hearing. His motion was denied, but Mr. Schneider felt Justified In making the application as Van Nnmee and Commissioner Prendergast were recorded In the findings as in favor of granting the rate schedule as proposed by the Brooklyn Union Gas Company.

Mr. Schneider states a letter will be forwarded to Governor Roosevelt requesting removal of both commissioners. At the celebration meeting March the association will have ex-Mayor Hylan and former Deputy Commissioner Cornelius M. Sheehan. of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, as guests.
