Hints For The Home

To clean kid gloves use soft piece
of india rubber.
Cold cream should be used plenti-
fully during the summer to protect
the skin from too much heat.
Fruit for preserving should be
sound and fresh, and should be pre-
served as quickly as possible after
gathering.
To clean your windows choose a
dull, dry day when the sun is not
shining upon the glass.
When relaying the stair carpets
put pad of folded newspapers over
the edge of each stair. This will
lengthen the life of the carpet.
To keep a sponge in good condition
it should be washed occasionally in
warm water to which has been added
little tartaric acid; afterwards
rinse in clear water.
After flannels have been washed on
no account allow them to lie about
wet. This will shrink them at once.
They should be dried as soon as pos
sible, preferably in high wind.
To make cheap and comfortable
cushion make a case of any scrap of
washing material. Then cut old news
papers into strips one quarter of an
inch wide, letting them form long
curl. Fill the cushion case, and it will
make most comfortable pillow.
Always be very careful to keep
saucepans clean if you wish to be a
FIJI fhnr
away until they are thoroughly dry.
Leave them to soak in hot water after
you have finished with them, as this
will facilitate the task of cleaning
them.
A good many housewives complain
that silver teapots that are not con-
stantly in use get "fusty." To pre-
vent this place a lump of sugar in the
pot before putting it away. This will
absorb any moisture there may be,
and quite prevent the disagreeable
"fusty" taste. 1t is very simple
remedy, but most effective.
Old cane chairs, when worn and
stained, can be greatly improved in
appearance by the following method:
First make lather of warm water
and soap, to which has been added
little alcohol. Then, when the can
is still wet, strew it we'll with flower
of sulphur and leave it until dry. The
sulphur must then be thoroughly
brushed off with soft brush. Care
must be taken that this is well done
and that no powder is left in the cane
of the chair.
Marking Ink-First wet the part
of the linen containing the stain; then
stretch across the top of a cup or
basin, about two-thirds full of hot
water, then apply salts of lemon to
the stain. Let it remain till the mark
shows signs of giving; then wash the
linen, and the stains will have dis
appeared. The water must be near
or quite boiling, so as to enable the
steam to rise through the linen, and
do not attempt to wash until the ink
shows signs of disappearing.

Palisades Park Has
New Attractions AS
Season Nears End

With the ebbing of August, Schenck
Brothers, managers of Palisades
Amusement Park, have arranged
many features more pretentious than
those seen earlier in the season. This
fact is particularly true in the free
attractions given on the free stage
an open air theater overlooking the
Hudson. The entertainment is given
twice daily, and has always been con-
spicious with circus and vaudeville
names of note but the organization
of artists scheduled to appear the
coming week promises to eclipse any
thing yet offered.
Direct from the circus ring, comes
the noted LaFarr Troupe, whose ac-
robatic efforts have won for them a
reputation for daring and feats of
skill, which has established them as
being one of the most important
families" of circus performers in
the world. In similar act of dar-
ing, the Sinclair Sisters will appear.
These beautiful young women, per-
form thrilling feats on high wire
which has established them as fea-
ture of every bill where they are
programmed. For the especial bene-
fit of the little folks, Jimmy O'Burke
and his trick mule, has been engaged.
This is comedy offering, which in
PRODUCES the champion "hard kicking"
mule on the stage. The rest of the
entertainment includes a troupe of
funny clowns, and atrial artists.
Tuesday and Thursday nights, a
gorgeous display of fireworks will be
given as an added feature. The set
pieces have been made at the Parks
own factory, following the personal
direction of Nicholas M. Schenck,
which alone warrants display OF
unusual elegance.
Surf bathing in the mammoth ma
tatorium, dancing in the spacious
pavilion, miles of merry midway, and
scores of other attractions are in full
swing, providing advertisement for all
lovers of out door amusement.

Freebooter Suit To
Be Heard To-day
Forced By Thompson

A speedy hearing and decision will
be had by the people of Bergen
county in the recent suit brought by
the Board of Chosen Freeholders
against County Clerk Charles F.
Thompson, to determine the legality
of the Gill Act, that law under which
it is proposed to make the change
from large to small board of free
holders.
Following Immediately upon the
steps of an appropriation being al
lowed for the purpose, John K.
Hardin, of Newark, was retained by
the County Clerk to defend the peo-
pies wishes, and while a hearing was
not anticipated until the middle of
next month, Mr.. Thompson has
forced the issue, and Saturday is the
date set for the hearing. When in
terviewed on the matter Mr.. Thomp-
son intimated that the suit was only
another scheme by a few members OF
the present board to befuddle the
situation, using his Office for the foot
ball at this time.
eyes, sir the more | go into this
matter the more l feel the injustice
of this recent attempt to perpetuate
something not wanted by the ma
jority, said Mr.. Thompson, and con-
tinuing he expressed himself most
emphatically.
"What has worried me since the
beginning of this action is the short
time candidates have in which to file
petitions and if these petitions were
held up there would be no election.
Some candidates wish to run on the
small board, and would also like to
file petitions for the large board so
as to be lin the run in any event. ,
And as the law distinctly states that
candidates name can appear but
once on the ballot the net result would
be that there would be no legal pc
titions filed, the time for which would
have expired and then it would be up
to the municipalities to appoint. l
think l have avoided all this possible
trouble in arranging for the argu-
ment to be held before Mr.. Justice
Swayze on Saturday, and if he hands
down a prompt decision we will know
before the third (3rd), which is the
last day to file for small board, just
where the people of Bergen county
get off,"

Pick Candidates
Except A Mayor

The Democracy of Cliffside Park
met in Cliffside fire hall on Tuesday
evening last to take counsel as To
the selection of candidates for the
coming election of borough officials.
Among those present were noted
Messrs. R. j. Fox, Edward thinner
mann, Arthur M. Agnew, Council
man Flood, Joseph M. Scott, VIM. NJ
Kelly, Collector Edward Sheehan,
Anton Bohm, John Kelly, j. H. Nc
Evoy, Martin Conroy, Patrick, Lar
kin, Patrick Larkin, jr., Mr.. Carso,
Robert Cadien, Mr.. Schultz and John
Flanagan. There were others pres
ent whose names could not be
obtained.
The nominating committee of five,
appointed at the preceding meeting,
said that they had not been success
full in securing the consent of candi-
dates to run. Mr.. Sammis and Mr..
Whelan had both been approached,
but had felt that they were obliged
to decline the offer of the mayoralty
nomination. No candidates for coun-
Gilman had been found.
Chairman Zimmerman, with few
Introductory words on the bright
prospects for Democratic success this
year, threw the meeting open to
nominations for councilmen. He said
that it was not a cut and dried af-
fair. He also reminded the members
that the nominations made at the
meeting did not prevent anyone from
running independently at the prim-
aries. 1t was free for all.
Upon motion of Councilman Flood,
j. j. McEvoy was nominated. Martin
Conroy, after considerable urging,
was prevailed upon to run as the sec
ond candidate. Councilman thinner
mann had been the evident choice of
a good many present but said that it
was impossible for him to continue
to give up his time to the arduous
duties of the office.
County Committeeman VIM. Kelly
and Doctor Brundage were renomin-
ated for their Office.
For justices of the peace, M. j.
Madden, Joseph Amhrein and Anton
Bohm were nominated.
The most important nomination,
that of mayor, was then taken up. A
strong demand for Joseph Scott was
evidenced, and Mr.. Zimmerman
made a forceful speech in his favor.
But Mr.. Scott said that he must de-
cline. Owing to the difficulty of find
ing a nominee, it was moved that the
present nominating committee be in
creased by the addition of Messrs.
Scott, McEvoy and John Kelly, with
instructions to report at the next
meeting, Friday evening, September
3, in the same place.
The meeting then adjourned.

tween 8 and $3.50 in the evening,
Cliffside Park is invited by their coun-
Gil board to be present in body, men
and women, boys and girls, and, yes,

forum at meeting on roads.
The object of the meeting is to con-
slider as broadly and as illuminatingly
as possible the borough's common
roadways that join the people OF any
part of the community with those of
all other parts, and through them
with all other communities. Road
Commissioner Larkin has stated that
if these roads, or streets, about nifty
in number, were placed end to end
they would make total length OF
between eighteen and twenty miles.
The sidewalks and curbs, therefore,
would be double this length or nearly
forty miles.
These are the common walk ways
and roadways of the community, and
consequently of equal fundamental
Importance to every resident.
Wednesday evenings symposium
of roads at the Lawton avenue school
offers an object lesson of exceptional
value to old and young alike, and 1t
is safe to say will be inestimable
help and interest to all present.
Wednesday evening next, at Grant
wood school auditorium, Lawton ave
nue., at 8 o'clock. All are heartily
invited.

West Palisade Kicks
Because Garbage Is
Not Moved For Week

The residents of West Palisade are
up in arms against the powers that
be in Fort Lee. Garbage has not
been removed for over a week, and
it finally became necessary to bury
all garbage.
Mr.. Caffal, speaking to "The Pail
sadian" on the subject, said: 81 can
not conceive how the borough can so
neglect it's duty in this matter. 1t is
little short of an outrage that we
should be so long negleced. AS be-
tween the overweening crop of weeds
that have smothered West Palisade
all season, the administration should
profit by it's neglect at the coming
election"

Notice To Picnickers
On The Palisades

Picnic parties on Saturdays, Sun
days and holidays frequent the wood
ed stretch along the cliff front of Pail
SADIE. If this reaches the eyes of any
of them, they will take the hint that
it is not in accordance with the best
manners and rules for the considera-
ton of others to have lunch boxes,
newspapers, wrapping papers of all
descriptions, paper and cardboard
plates, etc., scattered heller SHELTER
over all the property. 1t certainly
does much to distract from the beauty
of the town and does not show much
appreciation for the privilege of
being able to use the grounds.

A Lady From Virginia

A lady from Virginia was recently
a guest in Palisade and told story
of some newlyweds that would be
side-spliting if it could only be writ
ten up as she told it.
A young engaged couple had named
their wedding day, and invitations
had been sent out. Both parties to
the alliance were noted for their ex-
IRENE timidity and bashfulness. Fear
ing that some of their friends might
undertake to play some mischievous
pranks on them, they resolved after
the wedding to escape anything of
this kind if possible. But let the
Virginia lady tell the rest:
"No one can ever tell the funny
things about that wedding as they
took place. Well call them the
Browns, but that wasn't their names.
Rob-, my husband, had been told OF
the towns anxiety to get off a good
joke on the young people, and it so
happened that we were booked for
trip to Washington. on the same train
with the newlyweds. The wedding
duly took place, and the party went
to the church in automobiles. The
bridegroom proved himself quite
clever in avoiding the party at the
town depot by driving in his auto to
station about fifteen miles away
where he waited for the afternoon
train. He had bought parlor car seats
in advance and hob and l were never
more surprised in our lives than when
we saw the Browns come in. They
were equally taken aback. Never
theless, we had pleasant meeting,
though the bride was somewhat plir-
turbed over the unexpected situa-
ton. We talked awhile, then Rob
said he wanted to smoke, and left the
car. He knew the conductor and the
baggagemaster, so told them both he
wanted to fix up the trunk of the
newlyweds. The baggageman pointed
it out, an old, very old trunk the
couple had brought along to avoid
suspicion. | had made some big, red
paper hearts about six or seven inches
in diameter, and Rob had them in
newspaper, together with a tube OF
paste in his pocket. He plastered
the trunk all over with red hearts,
then came back to the parlor car to
say that he had finished his smoke.
Then | made an excuse to leave the
party and went up to the baggage car
with my part of the joke. We had
brought along ten-yard bolt of
white ribbon four inches wide, and |
started it through the handle on one
end of the trunk, tying big bow,
then running it over the top, made
another foot-wide bow in the center
of the top, adding another bow on
the other end. The trunk looked a
sight! Red hearts and white rib
bon all over it. When we arrived in
Washington the couple said they
were going to the New Willard, and
the baggage man hearing them, called
a cabman he knew and got the trunk
on the seat with the driver while
we entertained the couple to distract
their attention. Finally all was
ready, and that cab went on down
Pennsylvania avenue, the heart-red
trunk white ribbons and all, with hun
dreds of people along the sidewalks
enjoying the spectacle. Mr.. Brown
said afterwards that when they ar
rived at the Willard, the big porter
actually picked the trunk up and fol-
lowed them to the elevator with it,
everybody in the hotel lobby almost
dying of laughter at the unhappy
plight of the young couple"

MANY LIGHTS ARE
 PLACED IN ALASKA
Department of Commerce Reports
 Work Done During Year

The report of the department of commerce shows that during the past season forty-six aids to navi- gation were placed in Alaska wat CTS and five more are contemplated before the cessation of work for the winter. In addition good pro gress was made on the new light and fog signal station at Cape St. Elias on Kayak island which will be placed in commission next seas on.
 Thirty-two flash acetylene lights were placed at so many different points.
 An electric light was placed at Sitka harbor; a float light on Blunt Point reef in Wrangel strait; an oil lens lantern at Tenakee, in Chat ham strait, rost lights at Beck is '9rd in Clarence strait, Rose inlet, in Tvelak strait, and Akutan har- bor, in the Aleutian islands; beac- ons on the Fish Creek Dolphin, in Tongass narrows; Flase point re- treat, in Lynn canal; Deep Bay en- trance, at Pearl strait, and Priest rock, in Unalaska bay.
 Good progress was also made, !" says the report, lin the construc- tion of the new light and fog-sig- nal station at Cape St Elias, on Kayak island. The Illuminating and fog-signal apparatus have been on exhibition at the Panama-P Pacific international exposition at San Francisco, and will soon be disman- tied and taken to Alaska for install lation next season, The construc- tion party, with the exception of a few men as watchmen and care takers, left the cape on October [, having completed during the season all reinforced concrete work in the tower, fog signal, storage building and dwelling, except the first floor r'eh of a dwelling and portion of the floor in the oil room. With favorable weather and labor condl- tions the station will probably be placed in commission during the season of 1916.

BIG ZEPPELIN ATTACK
 ON LONDON PLANNED

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-,T be- lieve there will be another Zep- pelin attack on London within 60 days and when the raid does come it will be bigger than anything that has gone before and will be repeated night after night" This prediction was made by Thomas R. MacMechen, aeronautieal engineer and president of the Aeronautical Society of America. He recently returned from Eng land, where a small dirigible which he helped design and which is in- tended to be a torpedo boat de- stroyer of the air" is being com pleted by syndicate under official British eyes.
 Continuing his talk as to Zep- pelin raid on London, MacMechen said:
 'The Germans will probably send at least ten Zeppelins. They arc now gathering a fleet so large that they can afford to risk the loss of four or five in a raid. It was be- cause they had no airships to spare that they stopped these visitations this fall. Now they are nearly ready again to strike repeated blows-to cross the Channel in force, as they must do to create the amount of terror they desire
 "But England has been awaken ed. She knows the game now. She l.77 learned that. airships must be fought with airships. She is pre- pairing in the light of what the war has taught her, to meet the menace in the right way. She is building dirigibles. When the raiders come she will not be help less.
 The ascent of aeroplanes at night to search out and attack Zeppelins has proved most dangerous. Nnm- bers of aviators in England, France and Russia have been killed in making night landings. Moreover, when the aeroplanes appear the Zeppelins rise to a great height and compell the planes to exhaust their fuel in climbing after them. The Zeppelin jumps to 10000 or 12,000 feet, subjects the aeroplanes to machine gun fire, then speeds away.
 English and French aviators have told me that the Zeppelins easily elude them at night-even when there is bright moonlight. The British thought the Zeppelins wouldn't come on moonlight nights, but they did twice and got away unharmed."

Sheep Men Leaving for the
LOwIandS

Most OF the sheepmen having dis
posed OF their marketable fat sheep in
the past three weeks are making tracks
for lower lands, where the sheep will
be kept during the winter.
Ben Wilson was one of the first to
move his flock, which left nearly two
weeks ago for the Yakima country and
himself left few days later.
VIM. Wilson, another sheepman
from the Yakima country, departed
last week for the winter quarters, his
sheep having preceded him.
Pete Olivier, who by some mistake
was alluded to in these columns as a
son OF Italy, when in reality he is
native son of France, also shook the
dust Of the hills from his feet and left
last week for the Sunnyside country.
Before leaving he sold 1900 lambs and
600 ewes for a good round price,
which this year was little better than
usual.
Mrs. Ella Vessey's focks, which are
about the largest that come to this
region, will take the trail about the
first of October. Mr.. VIM. Churchill,
foreman for Mrs. Vessey, told US be-
fore leaving that Mrs. Wesley closed
deal on the 23rd Of September for
1900 acres OF valuable land in the
Horse Heaven countay, in what is
known as Hog Ranch valley, for which
she paid $4,000, She sold this sea-
son 5000 sheep, OF which $500 were
ewes and the balance lambs.
In two more weeks all the sheep
will be out of the mountains. A con-
siderable number are due to pass thru
here from the upper country where
they were summer grazed, on their
way to southern Washington.
George Hendricks, another veteran
sheepman who has grazed his focks
in this and adjoing counties for many
years, and one of those who has made
a financial success of the sheep bust
ness, will get his focks out by the first
week in October He recently
bought large tract OF land in Grant
county where he will winter some Of
his sheep.
Nearly all the sheepmen who Craze
sheep in this reason are regular read
ers of The Echo, and have been for
years. A bit of thoughtfulness that
indicates that they want to keep up
with the development OF this section.
S. o. Stewart, another Yakima sheep
man, who summer grazed his flock in
this region, left Wednesday for his
home. He shipt out to market from
this point 1900 lambs and wethers. He
will be here again next summer.
Between forty-fve and fifty cars Of
sheep were brought down out of the
mountains by the Wenatchee Valley
railroad and turned over to the Great
Northern at this point, says Mr. Nc
Donald. superintendent Of the noun
tain road.
Thirteen cars OF sheep out Of flock
of 1000 which Geo. Hendricks grazed
in the Okanogan country this summer
passed thru here Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Hendricks had some fifteen thou
sand head in the vicinity OF Lake Che
Ian this summer, out of which he shipt
to market $500 lambs and l 900 ewes.
His focks will move out to the low
lands about Oct. IL, to the winter
range in Adams and Franklin counties,
where he owns twenty sections of land
in what is sometimes called the desert
country--tho it lacks much of being a
desert, but there is scarcity OF water.

sheep in the White river basin this sum-
