evidence last night that they are in the
interscholastic race until the finish.
They gained another leg on the lead

score 46 to 20. During the game Harry
Rote. the local basketball star. was pre-
sented with a gold watch.
The gift came from local friends and
admirers. and Albert @. Murray made
the presentation speech. 1t was a big
surprise to Rote, who returned his
thanks and expressed his regret that
he would be unable to help in bringing
school and local honors next season.
Following the presentation the big
crowd cheered the young athlete.
The game was all Central. The same
trouble that has been experienced in pre-
vious games figured in Techs defeat
last night, the switching OF players.
There was a woeful lack of team work
at times. Thomas and Rote eXcelled
for Central, and Harris, Killinger and
Pollock Were Tech stars. Between the
halves the Central Reserves defeated
the Tech second team, score S5 to 81.

ELLIOTT-FIsHER MACHINES

Hundreds of machines manufactured
by the Elliott Fisher Typewriter Com

the war zones of France, while many
more are being used in the war Offices

fiocked to the colors it was necessary
to employ some kind of suitable ma

Boy Takes Cloves,
Bat And Ball
AtPalisade Grounds

While Alcide Pinard and some
companions were helping put the
Fairgrounds in order ON the morn
ing of July 8, some youngsters from
Palisades Park came along and
lifted all their baseball things, in
GLIDING new $3.50 catcher's glove,
two players gloves, bat and ball.
Alcide saw the chaps make away
across the hill near the west side of
the grounds, and promptly made re-
port to his father. The latter went
to Fort Lee in the evening, consult
ed the police headquarters, and Of
ficer Tom Dalton was detailed to find
the intruders.
Going at once to the home of
Steven McCusky, the young boy seen
at the Fairgrounds was called for.
His father brought him out, and
Stephen Immediately said he had the
gloves, and his father made him
bring them out, together with the
other things. He told his father an
other boy in the neighborhood had
taken the things, and at once the
father told him to scoot and get the
boy. Stephen was some little smart
boy. He was off in jiffy, but did
not come back, making the party look
like thirty cents. AIeide got the glove,
and Dalton says he will have no diff
ficulty in getting the boy.

No Paralysis Cases
On The Palisades

A careful canvass of the Palisades
section from Fort Lee to Fairview
and including Edgewater in regard to
the possible existence of cases of the
New York epidemic of infantile
paralysis has failed to disclose any
cases in that region.
President Robert Cadien, of Cliff
side Park Health Board said that he
had heard rumor of case which
resembled that of the epidemic, but
was not able to verify it. Various
physicians when interviewed said
that no cases had come to their at
tention nearer than Union Hill and
Weehawken.
In a circular letter issued by the
New Jersey State Board of Health,
mothers are warned to keep children
at home and not permit them to as
sociate with other children, and espe-
cially to keep them. away from NOV
ing picture shows or other gather
ings where children are present. In
fantile paralysis usually begins with
gastro-intensinal troubles"

Man Burned
By Fireworks
In His Pocket

A day that was marked with
rounds of pleasure had a sad ending
last Tuesday, when Trizan Gabriel,
who was busy igniting the fire.
works at the Charles Lyons Associa-
ton picnic, was badly burned about
the hip and left leg by fuses which
he carried in his hip pocket. The ac-
cident threw the thousands of per-
sons who were watching the display
into a panic, and several women
tainted, but were quickly revived, and
only for the quick work of Mayor
Lyons and several others, the affair
would no doubt have had more
serious termination.
Gabriel, who lives at No. 241 New
kirk street, New Durham, was flying
around the picnic ground with a light
ed torch in his hand, touching off the
various pieces, when suddenly he was
enveloped in a flame. For an instant
everyone thought he had ignited an
other set piece owing to the many
colors which were fiaring. His cries
for help were soon heard, but by the
time assistance reached him his
clothes were burned off. He was
carried to DR.. Hellstern's Office where
the doctor was assisted by w. L.
Rosenkranz, the druggist, in releiv-
ing the mans sufferings.
Gabriel was able to be taken home
in an auto after being treated.

LYONS Association
Has Gala Day At

Corcoran's Grove at Hudson Heights
was the scene of much gaiety on the
Fourth, when hundreds of members
and friends of the Charles Lyons As
ISOLATION gathered to celebrate the
annual outing and games of this we'll
known organization. The affair was
pronounced one of the most success
full ever given. The guests included
many of Bergen and Hudson counties
most prominent men and the large
crowd gave evience of the growing
popularity of the association.
The afternoon was devoted to vari-
GUS games which included several
baseball tryouts, with the older men
coming out leaders in each instance.
And the inner-man was well taken
care of with the chowder and there
was plenty of liquid refreshments.
A grand display of fireworks was
witnessed in the evening. And it is
noteworthy fact that the display
gave enjoyment to thousands of per-
sons who were unable to visit the
many resorts during the day, and
none were backward in expressing
their gratitude to the members OF
the association for their efforts.

Gaul Seated.
Freeholders'
New Member

Wednesdays semi-monthly meeting
OF the Bergen county Board of Free
holders was largely made up of the
reading of communications from vari-
GUS boroughs and individuals in re-
gard to the condition of sections of
the county's roads; also culverts and
sidewalks. Delford asked that ma
cadam be laid the Kinderkamack
road between the shoulder and the
curb; Fort Lee asked for a six foot
sidewalk on both sides of Fourth
street; citizen complained of the
improper drainage of Teaneck road !;
and numerous complaints were re-
ceived in regard to the third section
Of Fort Lee road.
A happening which reused consid-
cradle curiosity and interest was the
formal installation into office of the
new freeholder, Andrew Gaul, of
Ridgefield Park, to succeed Free
holder Webbon, resigned.
Other events of interest were: the
appointment of Louis Nestel as coun-
ty detective at salary of 1900; the
paying of election bills, totalling ST.

for the paving of bridge approaches
to John Wehrle, jr.; the postponing
till July IL of action on the contracts
for the repairing of certain roads in
order to secure advice from the State

sired on West Saddle River road

Tries To Shoot Wife,
Shoots His Son And
Also Another Man

After having shot his son, Alfred
Klase, II years old, in the arm, and
endeavoring to shoot his wife, Anton
Klase, of 1872 Sip street, West Hobo
ken, shot and killed Pasqual au1nl

dress, last Sunday night. Three bull
let's entered the body of the dead
man, one in the left arm and two in
the chest. He died instantly. Alfred
Klase, who was shot in the right
arm, was taken to the North Hudson
Hospital.
Klase had been quarreling with his
wife during the afternoon. 1t was re-
sumed in the evening, and when
Mrs. Klase demonstrated with him he
drew revolver from his pocket and
attempted to shoot her. This was at
$40 O'clock Sunday night. The re-
volver failed to explode whereupon
Klase drew another gun from his
pocket and fired several shots. One
of them struck his son and another
shot was fired which EMBEDDED itself
in the wall.
Hearing the shooting Pasquale Los
parugato, who lived in the same
house, went into the Klase apart
ment to find out what the trouble
was. There he encountered Klase
fourishing a revolver. Klase on see
ing him fired three shots at Los
parugato, all of them entering his
body. The dead man was a mason.
He leaves widow and one child.
Klase has been in the tolls of the
police three times in less than one
month. He was recently told by Re-
corder Charles Kuttler in West Ho-
boken not to bother his wife. This he
evidently did not do. The difficulty
in the family arises out of the fact
that Mrs. Klase has daughter by a
former marriage. Klase said that she
never recognized his authority and
that this drove him to a state of mind
bordering on insanity.
At the station Klase seemed not to
realize that he had committd murder.
When told that he had killed man
he asked if he had shot him. When
told that he had Klase said that he
ad often planned to kill imself, but
had never intended to shoot anybody
else.

Instinct and Etiquette
By Herbert Kaufman
Rules of etiquette tell what to do

= Rules of etiquette tell what to do
at instinct warns what MOTTO do,
Training does not produce gentlemen
it but polishes and refines them.
! Cads and Founders remain unalt-
cred despite a veneer of manners.
Any studious actor can pick up the
patter Of gentility and ape its habits,
but no heart can learn to play part.
1t is utterly impossible to hide ones
real character. Pretenders are un-
masked by excitement, trial and I'M
worthy temptations. Breed asserts
itself when valor, chivalry and hon.
esty are put to test.
Grooming never yet altered the
nature of cur, nor did circumstances
ever change the strain of thorough
bred. Providence has devoted count
less gentlefolk to humble labors, but
they remain themselves, even in
mental service. Through equally
strange vagaries of Fate the spawn of
varlets and solutions frequently force
themselves into circles to which they
do not belong-and show it.

deep.
Sundays walk took the boys through
the widest and most rugged region
of the hills, and it was not until even
ing that they reached the village Of
Peakamose.
From there they journeyed to a
farm on one of the hilltops where
they stayed with friends over night
exploring the surrounding country
the following morning. The next
days walking led through many Of
the beautiful valleys of Sullivan
county. A visit was made to the
Yama Farms at Napanoch, owned
by Seeman, the New York millionaire
where the life and customs of the
Japanese are followed in great detail
At Ellenville the mixers visited the

in the cave are filled with ice ant
snow all year and the temperature is
not well adapted to folks in summer

the Ellenville Driving Park where
races and other holiday festivities
took place.
The boys were delighted with the
hospitality of the country folks, ant
