Time To Call A Halt.

Here is a little story that was told
by Senator William A. Smith, of
Michigan, when the talk turned to
the thousand and one questions asked
by the kiddies.
One night an esteemed citizen was
enjoying his after-dinner smoke and
evening paper when little Willie
rambled into his zone wearing a per-
picked expression.
Papa" said he, "why is it that
people of Africa are black"
Because, my boy" was the
prompt rejoinder of the old man,
they are always in the sum-"
"Um, see" thoughtfully COM
mented Willie, and then continued,
papa, why do people hang clothes
out on the line ?"
$50 that the sun will bleach them
white, of course" answered father,
once more returning to his paper.
"Then, papa" persisted Willie,
his look of perplexity getting deeper,
why it is"
"Cut out the talk" broke in father.

the U. S. Aluminium Company, say
ing that he was glad to announce
that the company would be able to
cease building operations during the
time of the church service of the

been made in response to a request
from the church authorities.
A letter from the Edgewater Civic
Club signed by Secretary S. M. l..

the privilege of inspecting lists Of eX-
penditures and receipts before they
are acted upon by the council.
The Civic Club also requested that
the public dock be discontinued as a

grounds of the new school house were
being used for the purpose.

Auto Accident

was driving in his own auto, Dodge,
just behind the wrecked Peerless, and
was the second man at the accident,
a teamster being near when the car
skidded Several other people soon
came up, and undertook to rescue
the poor fellow under the car. He
was not making much noise, but
begged the bystanders to take him
out if possible. The flames, Mr..
Middleton said, were going fifteen
feet high when he got there, and the
gasolene was sputtering at great
rate, so that it was next to impos-
sible to do anything for the chauf-
feur. They finally got him out
however, and Mr.. Middleton hastened
away to his own home half mile
away to call up DR.. Wyler, of Fort
Lee. DR.. Wyler soon came, and did
all in his power for the victim, driv-
ing him in his own car to the Engle-
wood Hospital. He said there was a
bare chance for the man. He was of
powerful build, and that might aid
him. Giolito's son said they had
several times cautioned the chauf-
feur not to drive so fast, but he in
sisted that he knew his business and
could not be pursuaded that he was
exceeding the speed limit. Anderson
avenue is great temptation for
speeding, and several other accidents
have taken place on its inviting sur
face. There was absolutely nothing
left of the burnt car except the frame
and rods Many people from Fort
Lee and Palisade went to the scene
of the accident after the news got
out.
