SOON READY FOR SERVICE.
Yacht Dixie Designed for Depart
ment of Commerce Inspections.

To be painted and renovated In
preparation for vessel and navigation
inspection service on Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries. the yacht Dixie,
the recent addition to the inspection
vessels of the Department of Com
merce. Is at Pocomoke City on the
eastern shore Of Maryland. When the
vessel was taken in charge by IN
spector Dryden and his aids she had
been lying out of service at New York
for over nine months. and while In
thorough order she was not as spick
and span as she might be. About
week will be required to overhaul the
Dixie, and she will then take up in
spection work on Chesapeake bay and
its tributaries. She is a fast boat. being
able to go about seventeen miles an
hour, which makes her considerably
faster than most vessels in service on
the Chesapeake.
Later it is proposed to equip the Dixie
with a modern radio outfit like that
placed on the United States inspection
launch Tarragon. at this city, several
months ago.

IN CAR TRACKS
AN EXPENSIVE COMFORT
Side Walls of the Tires Yield Soon
to Friction of Rail
Contact.

"It is remarkable how few motorists
realize the danger of running their
tires in the car tracks, declares r. S
Wilson. manager of the service depart
ment of one of the big tire and rubber
companies 1T is true that a car runs
easier, and the jolts to the mechanism
are greatly reduced. But 1t is eNpen
sive comfort. There is no quicker way
of running tires.
THE tread of a tire is the thickest
part because there the greatest wear
takes place. The sides have thinner
wall of rubber to protect the fabric
Now, when a tire is run in the car
tracks the wear is concentrated on the
side of the tread and the side walls.
The constant contact of the tire and
the inside surface of the rail causes
abrasion or wearing away of the rub
ber The rail soon cuts through and
ruins the tire.
This practice of running In the car
tracks is also a common fault among
drivers OF solid tire trucks Only
the outside edge of the tire rests on
the rail. and consequently only small
part of the tire sustains the whole
load

Outside Edge Wears Off.

The result is that the outside edge
wears off, while the rest Of the tire is
apparently in good condition. Take
5-inch solid tire. Constant running in
car tracks will wear off IN inches OF
the surface. reducing 1t to 3i3-inch
tire. Thus a 3k-inch tire is compelled
to do the work Of a 5-inch. which
amounts practically to overlooking.
The effect is still more pronounced
where dual tires are used on the rear
wheels, a few inches of surface on one
tire being compelled to endure the
strain intended for the entire surface or
two tires.

ADVICE ON THE METHOD
OF SELLING MOTOR CARS
Automobile Company Issues List
of Pertinent Facts and
Questions.
Success Rules Applied to the Busi-
ness-Suggestions Regarding
Policy to Be Adopted.

few pertinent facts and questions
touching the sale of motor cars has been
issued by large Indianapolis automobile
company. Among some OF the points
brought out are the following:
Realize first that the selling of motor
cars is regular business and not a
game gamble
The successful seller Of motor cars must
be a merchant using systematic business
methods to sell his merchandise
No 'happy-go-lucky" or "hit-or-miss"
method can possibly succeed now.
The same method, the same conser-
vatism, and the same hard work, and the
keeping eternally at it. that have made
for success in other lines are equally ap-
plcable to the sale Of motor cars.
Have you the necessary capital to IN
sure your success?
If you have not, 1t is better that you
never enter the business, as under the
circumstances your venture is foredoomed
to failure.
If you have the necessary capital, the
next in order is to get the right company
to represent. Here 1t is well for you to
remember the fact that the right company

Monitors Defeat
Ciffside Oxfords

The Monitors secured revenge for
their former defeat by the Cliffside
Oxfords, defeating them by the score
of 7 to 2. Hinckelbien was on
the mound for the visitors and pitch
ed good, steady game and was at
his best in pinches. Wilcox was on
the mound for the Oxfords, but was
hit hard in the first two innings, the
visitors scoring five runs.
Seitz and Hinckelbein were the
heavy hitters for the Monitors, while
Ininger, G. Perraud and Mitchell each
secured two hits. The Delaney
brothers were absent from the Ok
fords' lineup, but Bull and Capelli
filled their positions well. The field
ing honors went to Lutz and Covello
for the Monitors, while Bull, Ininger
and Shelly fielded in good style. This
makes the series even between the
two teams, each having won game.

Gems Of Thought
By Noted Authors

Contentment-By Sir William Temple
l know no duty in religion more
generally agreed on nor more justly
required by God Almighty than a
perfect submission to His will in all
things, nor do think any disposition
of mind can please Him more of be-
come US better than that of being
satisfied with all He gives and con-
tented with all He takes away.
The goods or blessings of life are
usually esteemed to be birth, health,
beauty, friends, children, honor, rich
es. When your ladyship has fairly
considered how God Almighty has
dealt with you in what He has given
you of all these you may be left to
judge yourself how you have dealt
with Him in your complaints for what
He has taken away.
If you think how few are born with
honor, how many die without name or
children, how little beauty we see, how
few friends we hear of, how many
diseases and how much poverty there
is in the world, you will fall down
upon your knees and instead of re-
pining at one affliction will admire
the many blessings you have received
at the hand of God.
1t is true that you have lost be-
loved child, and therein all that could
be lost in child of that age; but
you have kept one child and are likely
to do so long. You have the hopes
of many more. You have kept hus-
band great in employment and in
fortune and, which is more, in the
esteem of all good men. You have
kept your beauty and your health I'M
less you have destroyed them your
self or discouraged them to stay with
you by using them ill.
All the precepts of Christianity
agree to teach and command us to
moderate our passions, to temper our
affections toward all things below,
to be thankful for the possession and
patient under the loss whenever He
that gave shall see fit to take away.
You will say perhaps, that one
thing was all to you, and your fond
ness of it made you Indifferent to
everything else. But this l doubt
will be so far from justifying you
that it will prove to be your fault
as we'll as your misfortune if God
Almighty gives you all the blessings
of life and you set your heart on one
and despise or undervalue the rest.
While l had any hopes your tears
would ease you or that your grief
would consume itself by liberty and
time, your ladyship knows vedy well
that l never once avowed it. l was
in the hope that what was so violent
should not be long; but when l OBJ
serve it grow stronger with age,
when see it draw out so many I'M
happy consequences and threaten no
less than your child, your health and
your life, l can no longer forbear this
endeavor nor end it without begging
of your ladyship for Gods sake and
for your own, for your children's and
your friends, for your country and
your family, that you will no longer
abandon yourself to so disconsolate
a passion but will at length awaken
your piety, give way to your prudence
or at least rouse up the invincible
spirit of your family that never yet
shrank at any disaster.

Notes On The Game

Greer has pitched his most con-
sistent ball this season. He has lost
only one game, and that fuke, at
Hasbrouk Heights, when the umpire
forced him to finish a game with a
wet ball and six runs were scored on
on five hits. He had ten assists in
this C. M. S. game, showing they
could not land on him much.
Ropes was all there He hit safely
three times, and stole four bases.
Goemann was wonder at first in
eating alive every throw sent his way.
He had two low ones to handle, but
he did it beautifully.
Logan is credited with hit in the
fourth on his last drive to the right
of the pitcher who knocked it down,
but the ball rolled towards short,
Mueller went after the ball and threw
Beckmann out at second, but could
not have reached Logan at first.
This according to the rules recently
published in the "Palisadian". Had
Mueller thrown Logan out at first it
would have counted sacrifice, since
Becllmann would have been safe at
second.
That Beckmann boy is destined to
make star ball player.
Mitchell's flies were all difficult, but
he made them look easy.
Harper is one of the most finished
short stops of Northern New Jersey.
He robbed Logan of hit in the 9th
when the latter sent sizzler to him
so hard hit it knocked him over, but
he came up with the ball and made a
beautiful put out at first.
The c. M. S. games were both
something to remember. The first
because it went fifteen innings, the
second because of the big league ball
through the full nine innings.

The Oritani Ballfeld
At Hackensack
One Of The Finest

A "Palisadian" reporter recently
saw the Oritani field over in Hacken-
sack. 1t is located just in the rear
of the club house, and is one of the
most beautiful ball fields in the en-
tire country. The diamond is not
of the regulation style with grass
surface; instead, the infeld is of sand
and this makes it not too fast, and
to some tastes, not as fast as a grass
grown infield. 1t is wet down before
games are called, and given just
enough time to partially dry out, SO
that it has a somewhat deadened sur
face, but the under clay gives it suf-
ficient elasticity to make it almost
perfect for ball playing.
The outfeld is all grass, and is
kept close-cropped, so that it is a
great, square lawn, one of the most
beautiful anywhere in the country.
The one thing to be criticised
about the Oritani ball grounds is
the fact that the management has
been content to play games without a
pitchers mound. Instead all games
are played on perfectly flat
diamond. If mound were installed,
the efficiency of pitching would be en-
HANGED 80 per cent. easily. Manager
Glatz should give this matter atten-
ton. Maybe he dislikes to disturb
the beauty of the diamond, but the
mound would not mar it's good looks
in the slightest.
Of course, the Oritani team is semi
professional. That is, the men are
all paid for their services, it is said.
They are all good players, but the
charm of local baseball is largely lost
when players have to be paid for
playing. The Oritanis, however, are
not the only team in Bergen county
that pay their players. Some of them
pay only their pitchers. Noble, who
beat Palisade July A, for the trophy,
was paid for playing that day. AS
a matter of fact, the cup was offered
for amateur playing only.

White Sox
Defeat The Strong
Nordhof Team,

The Palisades Park Arrows once
more proved to their followers that
they can play the game of baseball,
when they defeated the strong Nord-
hoff team by the score of to 5.
In the game played at Nordhoff last
Sunday the field was wet and muddy
which prevented the teams from play
ing their best and both sides had
several errors.
The Nordhoff team had Welter, the
star pitcher of the New York Tele-
phone team in the box. He is a good
pitcher and had twelve strike outs,
but the Arrows hit him in the pinches.
Backstrom for the Arrows was hit
rather freely in the first three
innings, but after that he struck his
stride and held Nordhoff at his mercy
all the way.
The Arrows made one fast double
play and Nordhoff made triple play
when Manager Chamberlain tried to
pull the hit and run game with a
double steal, Watson hitting the ball
in the air, Beck catching it and
throwing to Underdonk who threw to
Smith, completing a triple play.
Chamberlain, Watson and Slevin
put up fine brand of ball for the
Arrows and Goodman played an ex-
cellent game for Nordhoff pulling
down two difficult flies.
All in all it was good game to
watch and the faces of the Arrow
rooters bear different expression
this week, as they thought the Texas
flood had hit the team, the way they
PLAYED last week. The score:

Sea Trade in War Time.

New York World.
The war has shut off Iceland, whose
population of 5000 about equals that
of Elizabeth, N. J., from its old Scan
dinavian markets, and tie Danish
conoy seeks the establishment Of di-
rect steamship line to New York. In
a saort time it will probably be ship
ping its dried fish, wool and mutton
and receiving in return -four and other
supplies. If Iceland trade rises to no
very large figures, it will still be new
trade for this port.
There have been many similar re-
adjustments of the worlds commerce
during the last few months, and more
are sure to follow. Central and South
American counir;es Lave been heavy
sufferers. From the moment that war
was declared. trade lines in many di-
Irections were paralyzed.
Since August 1, of German ships 466
have been detained, captured and sunk
by the enemy, and of Austrian 64. The
rest are all lying idle and helpless IN
national or neutral ports. At the same
time, Great Britain, France, Belgium
and Russia have lost 265 ships. In
German ports 80 British ships alone
have been detained and go have been
sunk at sea by the enemy, not includ-
ing those destroyed by submarines.
What has happened has been not
merely the withdrawal from foreign
trade of tie entire German merchant
marine and the destruction or deten-
ton of hundreds of vessels of the al
lies, but many hundreds of ships, es-
Ipecially British and French, have been
taken over for military use. At one
time the British government alone was
reported to have 1900 vessels under
charter.
New York Las seen nearly all of the
best and fastest foreign passenger
steamships on the Atlantic withdrawn
from service during the last nine
! months. Any one can judge of the
confusion that mas reigned in the ship
ping world by looking over the motley
array of strange tramps and cargo
carriers that enter b-is harbor. In
their varying types and tonnage they
tell very important chapter of the
war-the general dislocation Of the
worlds commerce on the sea.

PATRONYMICS.
An Odd Eject of War on the London
Stock Exchange Directory.

London Dispatch to New York Post.
1t is rather amusing to observe how,
with each fresh ebullition of angry
hostility between ourselves and Ger
many, there is growing anxiety on
the part of Germans in this country,
naturalized or otherwise, to become
Anglicized in the matter of their sur
names. The latest evidence of this
in the city is to be seen on the London
stock exchange. We are now nearing
the time when the new official direc-
tory of members is prepared, and there
is an obvious anxiety on the part of
many members whose names point out
the country of their origin to throw
out the remembrance by a change Of
their name. At the time of writing,
at least 21 members of the house have
announced their intention to change
tIeir names by deed poll
Thus, as stock exchange corre-
