Keep Your Children
At The Home School
And Miss This

Considerable comment has beer
made from time to time by critics
that the Palisade public school was
not as efficient as it might be. Oh
course, with only the lower or primary
grades as yet established in the Pail.
sade school it cannot be equal to g
grammar school as yet. But in op.
position to the system in vogue here
the following is submitted as an ex'
ample of the care with which young
Paisade boy is being taught in q
crack New York school for boys. He
was returning home the other evening
with a companion when he was heard
to eXclaim:
"Aw, dat was de udder guy!
seen him do it,"
1t so happened that reporter of
"The Palisadian" heard this piece of
English as she is spoke" and asked
the little chap why he was not more
careful in his speech. He hung his
head and timidly answered, "Dey all
does it,"
NOW, IL is not cnance TO take IN
saying that the Palisade school teach
es greater care of speech in boys
than the above instance, which is
wholly true, and the boy who was
once pupil here was never before
noted for such eXecrable form of
speech. Maybe he was just forgetting
himself, or else he had fallen into a
bad habit, which he will find it hard
to correct.

PALISADIAN

of southeastern Bergen, in Cliffside,
Fort lee, EdgeWater, as we'll as Fair
view, were heard very noticably on
Wednesday night. Other business was
transacted, of course, but the sewer
question and sewer problems seemed
to predominate. Considerable interest
centered in the matter of the appoint
ment of an inspector for the Grant
street construction. Mr.. Duhartt, who
had been previously offered in nomin-
alton by Mayor Lyons, and was not
confirmed by the council, withdrew
from the race when the name of ex-
Mayor Vogt was offered. Mr.. Vogt,
as an important property owner of
Grant street, seemed very desirable
candidate, especially as he magnani-
mously consented to make donation
of his services.
McClave and McClave, engineers,
were engaged as special engineers for
the Grant street lateral.
A letter from engineer Darling
was read in which he reported that
as result of the February gas ex-
plosion along Bulls Ferry road, the
storm water sewer from Probst place
to Hudson place would have to be re-
placed.
In regard to the Walker street
sewer, it was ordered that Mr.. Nc
Garry, contractor, pay the inspector
himself on the work.
The ordinance for second reading
placing the appointment of the chief
of police in the control of the majority
of the council was, on motion of
President Ridgeway, laid on the table
till the next meeting.
The report of engineer Darling on
the giving way of the contact beds
of the sewer disposal plant, though
requested, was again not given. A
report by McClave and McClave, how
ever, on the same matter, was re-
ceived The council adjournment to
meet again May 6.

Associated Charities
To Give Monster Show
AS Benefit To Fund

An opportunity is at hand for the
uniting of every section and faction
of the borough, and the joining of the
hands Of citizens of every belief and
calling, in a common bond of charity
and helpfulness to the needy and per-
haps less fortunate members of the
community. On Thursday night
next, at Carney Hall, high-class
vaudeville entertainment has been
planned, thanks to the generosity Of
proprietor Schenck, of the Palisade
Amusement Park, and to be given
under the auspices Of the Associated
Charities of Cliffside Park, aided by
Councilmen Hoeckelburg and Cadien,
of the Exhibitions Committee of the
borough council. The proceeds of the
entertainment will be devoted to
charity in the borough.
Owing to the fact that the Schenk's
entertainers are constantly arriving
and departing on long circuits
throughout the country, it is not pos
sible at this moment to announce next
Thursday evenings entertainment in
detail. Judging, however, by the
similar entertainment given by the
same management in Fort Lee, an
evening of continuous enjoyment may
be confidently looked forward to.
1t is earnestly hoped that every
civic and social organization in the
community will seize the opportunity
which the coming event offers to
demonstrate their loyalty and interest
IN their own section. Why should
not the borough council attend in a
body this undertaking for the general
good of the borough?
Also the board of education, the
health board, the fire companies and
so on? 1t is rarely that such an op-
portunity presents itself to the bor-
ough family for a general reunion,
and it is to be hoped that the gener-
Gus efforts of the entertainments
promoters and committees will meet
with overwhelming success.
Posters have been placed broad
cast throughout the borough, and
tickets are on sale at many of the
stores, including the following: Goe-
mann's Drug Store, Herschler's Cigar
Store, A. and P. Grocery Stores, We'll
linghorst's Grocery, Perlmann's Tail
or's Shop, E. C. Raas' Hardware,
John Lotthammer's Lunch Room, in
Grantwood.
Tickets are to be had also of men,
bers of the Associated Charities and
members of council, Hoeckelburg and
Cadien, Price of admission, 25 c.,
Soc, 75c., and $1.OO.
Date and time of performance is
Thursday evening, April 20, at s:15.

A Palisadian was telling Chauncey

Fire Department
improvements

At Edgewater councils meeting on
Tuesday night, last, it was resolved
to appropriate the sum of $38,5O0 for
new fire hall, fire engine, hose cart,
and other equipment, the same to be
contingent on the result of the COM
ing election for these purposes to be
held next Tuesday night. Last night
very successful public lecture, il
lustrated by movies showing the local
fire department in action was given
in the auditorium of the new school.

A ROOSEVELT STORY

When Col. Roosevelt was a student
at Harvard, one day at recitation the
poem was "Marco Bozzaris."
He got as far as "When Greece her
knees in suppliance bent" and stuck
there. He repeated, "When Greece
her knees, three times. And the
teacher remarked:
Grease her knees again, Teddy;
then, perhaps, she'll CO."

EDGEWATER NOTES

Edgewater, with a smaller popula-
ton than Cliffside Park, is worth
nearly three times as much. 1t Is
assessed at $9,076,000.
The new Edgewater Library is to
be located a short distance above the
ferry house, about half way up the
slope of the Palisades.
Edgewater's fire loss in 1914 was
100000.

Germans Are Constantly Re-
gaining GroundinsThat Dis
trict of the War Now.
To- RESUME AAMMERInG
Tactics So Familiar during the
Autumn Are the German
Forces in Flanders.

Ian 15wTbe

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE violent
German attack to the north Of Sots7
SONS under direction Of General Won
Kluck, which. coupled with fiood
stage Of the river, has forced the
French back across the Aisne, Is the
BtriiSing news Of the last twenty-four
hours from the seat Of war.
The Germans have been gaining In
this locality for several days but they
have not recovered all the ground
lost BY them.
The engagement north Of SCISSORS
IS the first notable fighting in the
vicinity since last September when
the British army was successful in
crossing the Aisne.
Snow in the vosges mountains and
floods in Flanders still prevent any
extensive operations on the eastern
i or the western wings and to British
observers 1t appears as though the
Soissons district had been selected
for the point where, with reinforce
Sments, the Germans are planning to
display once more the hammerins
tactics 80 familiar during the au-
tumn.
On the other hand some war ex-
perts argue that the operations at
sissons may have been undertaken
10 compel the allies to lessen the
pressure In Alsace.

big dam
Construction at Bruceton, This
State, is Reported as to
Be Discontinued.

IxINGWooD. Jan. 14-work on
the big dam at Bruceton has been
discontinued. possibly for good.
Much of the property bought up over
there by the company has been
turned back to the owners with half
of the purchase price paid in. The
only reservation made ~ to the eff
feet that the company can take 1T
up again within, five years at the
price formerly agreed upon. This
was to have been one Of the biggest
dams in existence and would hare
completely done away with, the beau
tiful little town Of. Bruceton. There
are those in that community who are
glad operations on the dam have
ceased, while others were anxious to
see 1t made matter of realty.
Whether the company will ever UNI
lerfake the work again is not known
1t this time, and 1t is presumed that
will depend on the nature Of the leg
sIslation passed with reference to
water power companies. which will
likely receive consideration at the
hands Of the next Legislature.
