Old Man Deuce
INDICATED At Last
By Small Blizzard

That famous old weather hazard,
Andrew jackson DeVoe, the Hacken-
sack blizzarder, who knows more about
the weather and less Of it than all
Me seers Of Christendom, predicted
the worst snow storm Of the season
last Saturday, March 10. Instead,
there came the coolest March 10 Of
all record, clear, sunshiney skies, and
q feeling in the air that gave one the
rigors from heel to skull. It so re-
manned all day, but at nightfall the
sky became overcast in gray, and
though the moon came close to COM
ing out, and the night was bright, the
"great snow storm" never material
lied.
But the vindication of Andrew
Jackson came. Sometime in the early
hours before dawn Sunday morn
ing there was a tiny bit of snow fall
Ian eighth of an inch perhaps, which
could be seen the next morning on
cleared sidewalks, looking like hoar
frost in early springtime.
But it was the one hope of the
hollerprophet's heart. He was vim
dicated, for the tail end swish. of his
biggest snowstorm had foated down
out of the star-lit heavens, and his
balm was complete.

Predicts Edgewater
Factories Will Be
Replaced By Docks

Although still suffering from the
effects of his recent bad fall, ex-
Mayor George Carleton, of Edge
water, this week made some inter-
esting observations on the probable
developments Of that borough. Mr..
Carleton said: "Soon River road, as
the river highway, will be no longer
There will be new river road 400
feet to the east in the space now oc-
cupied by the river itself.
"In regard to the present factories
and their yards and docks, it is not
at all an assured thing that they will
be permitted to remain. The agita-
ton among New York West Side
property owners, as well as local
boards and bodies against the vitiat-
ing and befouling of the air Of this
section, is only one indication Of a
significant movement for the bring
ing about Of the removal of the in
dustrial colony" from our midst. The
logical place for these plants is the
Hackensack meadows; already a
great many have located there.
"Our factories have made great
mistake in ignoring common health
requirements in the releasing of their
fumes and gases which untold lungs
have been froced to breath.
'But, apart from this condition,
other and even more vital considera-
tions will, if am not mistaken, work
toward the removal of the present
factories. I predict that the present
river edge will at no distant time be
lined with huge docks for ocean-go-
ing vessels, which will serve as a
great world terminal for the steam
ships Of the earth. Edgewater,
itself, will by the process be pushed
some 800 feet further out into the
stream. Instead of a row of private
docks as at present, docks open to
the commerce of the world will be
built. The fact that >an immense
length of valuable water-frontage on
the rivers left bank is excluded from
such possible development by the
regulations of the Park Department
is factor which tends to make the
change l speak Of inevitable"

The farmer thereupon looked

at the shabbler editor.
"Come on, Willie," he ordered.

Fairuiew Shooting
Continued from page il

how he had tried in vain, to have the
woman flee with him. The child was
hanging on to her mothers skirts all
during the talk, she said, Fararro
pleaded with the woman for long
time. 1t did no good. Finally he be-
came abusive and the child became
frightened with his threats. The
youngster pleaded with her mother to
leave the house. Fararro said he'd
shoot the "whole bunch" if she did.
Finally he grabbed hold of the wo-
man and a fight ensued. The man
drew a revolver and fired three or
four wild shots at the woman. The
child, who was tugging at her moth
er's skirts received one of the bullets
in her hand and she began screaming
for help. The woman yelled too, and
Fararro, thinking he had wounded
her fatally, rushed from the house,
and was not seen again until Sunday
The affair caused small riot in
the neighborhood. The police were
sent there post haste, but could learn
nothing. A telephone message was
finally received from the druggist
who attended the child. He related
Nthe happenings as best he could, and
Officer Hammond was detailed to
keep close watch on the neighborhood
for the fugitive.
Chief Rene was on the job all
week, too, and Sunday the man was
seen entering house near the scene
of the crime. He was quickly fol-
lowed by the officers, but some friends
helped him escape before the police
could get him in tow. Towards even
ing he was seen again and this time
cornered. He fought desperately
for his freedom, but Chief Rene, with
the assistance of Officer Hammond,
soon had their man on the way to the
lookup. When searched, the officers
say Fararro had weapons that would
do credit to an army man.
When arraigned in court, Fararro
admitted he was present when Flor
ence Ourieno was shot, but persisted
in saying that the child had shot her
self. The girls mother would not
deny this story nor would she tell just
what had happened. It was very
evident to the court that the woman
had no intentions of saying anything
that would tend to hurt Fararro's
chances of escaping justice. Even the
thought of spending time in Jail
could not move her to speak.
The evidence given by the child
was lucky he didn't connect that
he was Immediately held for the
grand jury. He was bailed out by
one of his relatives.
The father and husband said he
knew nothing of the case, but is bent
on having Fararro receive the full
punishment Of the law.

1915 And 1916
Elections Compared

Of interest to Cliffside Park read
ers is the report in the "Palisadian''
of last March of the 1915 school cleo
ton. The following is quoted from
the papers issue Of March 20, 1915:
Although the Citizens School Conn
mittee gained notable victory in Sc
curing the election of its three cam
didates it was victory won by q
very small majority" The closeness
of the election was indicated by the
fact that one candidate won by 4
margin of only two votes. The VIC
tory of the Citizens Club ticket over
that of the Borough Club last Tues
day was practically two to one.

Measles Plays Havoc
With Hackensack
School Children

The little children of Hackensack
have been hard hit by their old-time
enemy, the measles, and, to lesser
extent, scarlet fever. Out of nearly
5000 pupils in the county seats four
grammar schools, 431 were reported
as suffering from these and other
diseases. In one school over 20 per
cent Of the children were reported ILL.,
Thirty-one new cases of measles were
reported to the health authorities on
Monday last, and seven on Tuesday.
As result of the meeting Of the
Hackensack Board Of Health on Fri
day evening of last week, at which
dozen or more Of the physicians Of
the city were present, resolutions
were passed recommending to the
Board of Education the advisability
of excluding from the kindergarten
and up to the fourth grade all chill
dren who had not had the measles.
Similar resolutions were passed COW
ering parochial and private schools.
The Health Board furthermore de-
cided that all children under twelve
years should be excluded for period
of two weeks from moving picture
shows, Sunday schools, and other
public gatherings.
Acting upon the recommendations
of the Health Board the Board of
Education ordered the closing of the
kindergarten; that children under
seven years who have not had
measles should be excluded from
school; and requested that parents
keep in their homes all children of
seven years and over who had not had
measles, until March 81. On Thurs
day last all schools were closed.
DIR. Freeland, of the haywood sec
ton, in speaking of the epidemic, said
that it was probably the most infec-
tious Of contagious diseases. A child
could often be infected with the
disease for several days without the
fact being discovered, but on the
fourth day the usual rash would ap-
pear, and this marked the most viru-
lent stage. An epidemic Of measles
did not necessarily mean the closing
Of the schools as there were many
children who had already had the
disease and were therefore practically
immune therefrom. Citizens, he said,
should seek to cooperate in every
way with those who were trying to
free the city and the city's childhood
from the scourge.

High School Notes

On Thursday afternoon Of last
week the Senior Glass served lunch
con to the members of the faculty.
The spread was commemorative by
the Seniors Of the splendid work
done by Mr.. Jones who has resigned
from his instructorship in the school.
The string Of candidates for the
baseball team are almost as numer-
GUS as the American soldiers on
picket duty along the Mexican border.
The success of the team this season
is dependent upon the indispensable
asset, reliable pitchers. It is lament
able to say that the team has never
been gifted with a first-class per-
former on the mound. And the stud
emit who can show strong pitching
ability will do a great deal to pillow
Cliffside High close to the leader
ship of baseball supremacy in the
county, if not in the State.
The Seniors are to give their class
play entitled the "Freshman" short
ly after Easter. Mr.. Peters is to
coach the class.
The Juniors have organized a
board of trade. Though the name is
misleading, the purpose Of this board
is to foster among the students good
habits and to discourage any attempt
on the part of fellow students to de-
face, mutilate or destroy property of
this school.
