Triangle Clubs Dance
One Of The Seasons
Social Successes

The Triangle Club, of Palisade, COM
posed entirely of the younger set of
boys, has more than won it's spurs as
an organization to be reckoned with
in the social world by the excep-
tionally beautiful dance which it held
at Carney Hall, Grantwood, on the
evening of February IS. Nearly two
hundred were present, taxing the
hall somewhat for room, but in spite
of the large crowd everything was
carried off smoothly by the COM
mittee Of arrangements, which de-
serves no little credit for the man.
ner in which the affair was con-
Quoted to most successful con-
clusion.
It seemed as though everybody
from the entire hilltop section was
there just bubbling over with good
humor at the joy of being together
at such pleasant function. The
decorations were Of patriotic hue
covering the baroness of good old
Carney's walls. The music by the
famous colored cabaret orchestra
was never better and seemed to in
feet everyone with the irresistible
dance germ, for there were few who
failed to succumb to its spell. And
the ladies-well, they were too
charming for words. Rarely has
such beauty been gathered together
under one roof. Their brilliant and
handsome gowns added a touch to
the occasion which nothing else
could. To watch the fair maids and
matrons in the dance was more like
a dream than anything, and more
than one swain went home minus his
heart.
1t was as perfect dance as one
could wish, and if there was a flaw
anywhere no one noticed it. Every
one had such splendid time that
home was the last place thought Of
until the clock in the Cliffside school
doomed out one of the wee sma'
hours, and even then they did not
want to go.
The last word on every lip was
"Well, boys, when are you going tc
give another?"

Society
ORCHESTRA Makes Hit

The orchestra of the Symphony So
ciety of the Palisades was the special
attraction at musical evening given
by the Woman's Guild in the Guild
Hall of Trinity Church on Friday
evening, February 10. The orchestra's
selections were admirable, and ad-
mirably performed, giving great
pleasure to the not over-large au-
Hence present. The numbers pre-
scented were the Military Symphony
of Haydn; the Credo from the St.
Theresa Mass of La Hache; and the
Tannheuser March of Wagner. The
ensemble of the orchestra was ex-
cellent and gives promise of better
things to come. The members who
took part were George H. Shorey,
first violin and director; John Acker-
man, first violin; Mr.. Martens, Sec
ond violin; Paul Berkey, cello; 0. E.
Smith, flute; George E. Abbott,
clarinet, and Miss Hanna Mandel,
piano.
Mr.. Carson read with his usual
finish and sympathy "Miss Minerva"
and civilian Green HILL" a negro
dialect sketch that was side-splitting
The songs by Miss Lillian Nieder-
reuther were we'll received. Her
numbers included "Mavis," John Nc
Cormack's famous song; "Elysium"
by Obey Speaks; and "Ashes of
Roses" by R. Huntington Woodford.
After the program dancing and re-
freshments were enjoyed by the men,
bers and their guests.

Smoking In Borough
Meetings A Mistake

Would it not be possible for the
august governing bodies of the bor-
ough to pass bylaws prohibiting the
smoking of tobacco by their members
or their guests during the sessions of
their public meetings? bylaws"
of such nature are made for troll
ley cars, ferryboats, and, In fact, al
most universally where people con-
gregate in any numbers. And why, of
all places, should not the deliberative
assemblies of municipalities be gov
erned by similar provisions? The
borough has only one place to meet;
should their meetings be made a
hardship and in many cases an i'm
possibility by this, to many, repul-
sive habit?

public accountant, BirSky, figure that if 90 per cent of Christmas shoppers followed Miss Morgan's advice, Birsky, the drygoods stores would shut down around Christmas, and all them sales ladies would not only take vacation in the summer time, but in the winter time also; and then the question is, how is them salesladies going to raise money for their winter vacations?"
 Miss Morgan would get up sub scription maybe" Birsky suggested.
 And the proceeds after the expenses of collection were deducted would SUD- port twenty-three six hundredths of a saleslady for COOS hours, Birsky," Zapp concluded, which the trouble with them people that figure out the averages is that they don't consider human beings as men and women, but as fractious ausgereckoned to hun dred thouSandths yet. Also it's good thing to figure out the averages on the percentages of people that set off fireworks and don't get burned, and the percentage of people that it wouldn't do bit of harm to if they bought once in while for somebody present, useful or otherwise. In other words, Birsky, if you're going to reck- on up the averages on anything, the best way is to figure how it will affect one hundred one hundredths of the people twelve months out of the year, and then go to work and get up the So- ciety for the Prevention of Prevention Societies and limit the membership to one hundred million Americans. Most of us would join it."

 "Still, in way, it's good thing that Christmas is more or less a thing of the past, Zapp said, because when you tried to collect bill from some body around Christmas time, it didn't make no difference if he was retired from business except for 10 per cent interest in a bathing suit factory, he would want you to wait till his Christ mas rush was over.

Fur thermore if you owned a tenement house, you'd got difficulty collecting the November rent because the ten ants said it was so near Christmas, and that's the way it went, Birsky. People treated Christmas not as holiday, but as an excuse. The wonder is it ain't died out altogether"
 ''The wholesaler wouldn't miss it if it did," Birsky commented. Believe me, Zapp, for every child that lays awake the night before Christmas thinking what his parents are going to hand him the next morning, there is fifty manufacturers counting sheep jumping over fences, trying not to think what some of their customers in the retail drygoods trade is going to hand them after the second of Janu- ary. It don't require much water to drown shaky drygoods retailer. He can sink like stone in two days rain during the week before Christmas"
 Don't know it?" Zapp said. eff the Christmas presents that the whole salers give by mistake to shaky retail drygoods men was put on trees the way other Christmas presents are, they would cover all the redwood groves in California. But it ain't the retailers fault, Birsky. Sometimes the feller is playing in hard luck like a merchant like used to sell goods to by the name Felix Immerg1ick out in Cincinnati, which a couple of years ago last Christmas he specialized on sleighs, skates and cheap furs, and from De cember 15 on they got such a warm spell in Cincinnati that the hotel keep CTS figured should they or should they not open the roof gardens again. So the following year Immerglick cut out the Sleighs and skates and laid in bicycles, children's books and d very attractive line of umbrellas, and Im- merglick says that it's wonder with his luck he didn't also buy stock in a chain of artificial ice factories, be- cause on the day he received the goods in November the thermometer goes down to zero on him and stays that way till a week after his next spring millinery opening. Can you blame such a feller that he settles with his cred itors 30 cents on the dollarT
 Listen. zapp," Birsky said, "a 9O- eent-on-the-dollar feller could always pin his bust-up on either a warm Christmas, a cold Easter or an invalid wife, whereas the figures show that the average of real cold Christmases ain't no more than the average of real sick wives"

 "Aber, what's that got to do with Christmas?" Birsky asked.

So she goes to work and gets up a Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving, and con- seQuently a certain percentage of dry goods stores loses certain percentage of customers which formerly had a rotten bank account and a good dis position, and has now got good bank account and a rotten disposition"

ENGINEERS IF ] STATES ID FORM
 SOCIETY

MT. A. F. Barnes, dean of En- gineering of the New Mexico College of Agriculture ad Mechanic Arts, State College, N. M, has been en- deavoring to organize a Southwestern Engineering Society. Letters have been received from prominent engin- eers in the three states of New Mex ico, Arizona and Texas expressing the need of such an organization. Among the men who have promised their sup port are Dean G. M. Butler of the Uni versity of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona; :! Dean S. H. Worrell, of the Texas School of Mines at Fl Paso, Texas; Professor Brenneman of the Univer- sity of New Mexico, Albuquerque, N. M. .; Mr. Samuel l. Bousman, engin- eer of the Chino Copper company, Hurley, N. M; MT H. l.. Stevens, Consulting Refrigeration Engineer, El Paso, Texas; MT. B. H. Baldwin, of Fl Paso, Texas, Project manager of the Elephant Butte Dam; and MT. s. O. Andros, Albuquerque, N. M, Chairman of the New Mexico State Directors, Naval Consulting Board. The object of this organization will be to promote the science of engin- eering in the Southwest The prin- ciple means for this purpose will be: First, the holding of meetings for the reading and discussion of professions al papers especially upon such ques- tions as are peculiar to this region. Second, to give opportunity for social intercourse and thus establish a con- mon interest in the welfare of the en- gineering profession.
 Admission to this society will no doubt not only be open to practicing engineers, but an opportunity will be given to any person so con- nected with engineering as to qualify him to cooperate with engineers in the advancement of professional knowledge.
 It is planned in short time to call a meeting of those engineers that have shown interest in the matter, and at such time draw up tentative plans and program for a general meet ing to be held at suitable place at which time final organization can be effected.
 In the meantime, anyone interested in the promotion of such a society or who has any suggestions as to scope, or ways or means of organizing the same should communicate with the Dean of Engineering, State College, N. M, or any of the gentlemen men, toned in this article.

The little $2,OO0,0O0 collected by the republicans by popular subscription is merely little joke. At best we can only surmise, but it is probable $5O,0OO,OOO if the truth were known. The republicans were pledged to re- peal the Underwood bill. The phrase ology of the republican platform was no accident. Repeal meant repeal of the income tax, which is over $200,- 100000, nearly all of which comes out of the multi+millionaire republicans, as there ain't no such animals in the democratic party, so you can see they would be making a good investment, to spend fifty millions and get the in come tax repealed and save over two hundred millions every year.
