Rdgefeld Park
School Board In A
Lot More Trouble

That the Ridgefield Park Board of
Education, or, at least those MEM
bers of the Board who have so openly
opposed Principal Walter G. Davis,
have reached another stumbling
block in their plan to rid themselves
of this man, is indicated in a letter Of
County Superintendent of Schools B.
C. Wooster under date of January 6.
Supt. Wooster specifically warns
them to use caution in the matter of
employing another principal in Mr.
Davis place and declares that in his
opinion the fact that the cler OF the
Board administered the oath to all
witnesses at the trial instead of a
member of the Board, as required
under the Tenure of Office Act, was
sufficient to nullify the proceedings
against Davis.

Maj. McClaue Writes
Protesting Letter
ToN Y. Official

Open letter to Board of Estimate
and Apportionment, Municipal Build
ing, New York City.
Gentlemen:
read with interest but not sur
prise, that an agreement had been
arranged between the officials of the
City of New York and the New York
Central Railroad, whereby the latter
corporation secures apparently some
thing for which it has been working
for over twenty-five years, i.e., the
control of the water front of the
great city of New York; write APP
parently because plans as given, are
somewhat yelled, but if it has been
agreed that the railroad mentioned
is to have the exclusive right to use
the elevated freight railway along
the marginal street, tapping the docks
on the North River front, then the
most valuable franchise in the world
has not only been literally but actu-
ally given away, and as I also antici

low and the space above.
If my contention is correct, you no
doubt realize that this will forever
prevent the participation of the rail-
roads centering in New Jersey from
using the proposed Hudson River
Bridge, with the possibility of pre-
venting the building of the bridge
at or near 59th street Ia bridge
which is needed by the City of New
York equally as much as it is needed
by the State of New Jersey because
the means for better transportation
facilities and the quicker method for
handling freigh has been taken from
them limiting these facilities to the
control and greed of one corporation.
If the marginal street elevated
railroad is to be built, it should ex-
tend around the entire water front
of New York City, and any and all
railroads permitted to use it upon
an equal basis. No other method
than this can help better to solve the
transportation problem and uphold
he prestige of the now greatest City
in the World.
Yours truly,
S. Wood McClave.

HARD TO DEFINE VULGARITY
What One Generation Condemns An
other May Have Considered
Distinctly Proper.

There is nothing more difficult to
define than vulgarity. 1t is often mere
Iy something one dislikes in some
body's manner of speech or behavior.
Webster's dictionary defines 'vui-
gar" In the modern sense as lacking
cultivation or refinement; rustic. boor-
ish: also. offensive to good taste or
refined feelings: low. coarse, mean,
base"
and "vulgarfty" it defines as gross
ss,ss or elownishness Of manners or
language: absence of refinement;
eoarseness.
The half OF those definitions might
safely be cast aside. 1t is absurd TO
define vulgar" in the present sense
as rustic; low, mean, base.
When we say that anyone is vulgar
we mean chiefly that he is, in Web
ster's words. offensive to good taste, .
and that is about az near an explsua-
ton as we can 90.

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Cruel Weapon.

In the soberly correct offices OF
Farnsworth & Heathcote. one of New
York's most solid and reputable law
firms, two persons sat talking.
The honest roses in the cheeks of
Miss Poppy Ordway bloomed glorious
ly. Her raiment whispered silkily
when she moved her splendid shout
ders a bit more comfortably against
the mahogany chair-back.
"And now, Mr.. Farnsworth," she
was saying, "can you give me the full
particulars of that mysterious rob
bery?"
The eminent lawyers quiet eyes
were taking pleasurable note of the
womans beauty, the concise handling
of the discussion in hand.
"As one of the attorneys for the
estate of James B. Whitby, l think |
am qualified to do So" he stated
gravely.
Then" said Poppy Ordway, open.
ing a little red morocco notebook at
a page far to the back, let us pro-
ceed."
Mr.. Farnsworth spread out before
him a set of papers.
'First-Standard Copper and Zinc

tive and entirely solvent concerns in

bright, blue glance of the young owner
wayered bit, he opened his lips, shut
his hand upon the oilcloth and his jaw
hardened with tautened muscles.
mo! He wouldn't be thief-that
would be the right law"
Every nerve in Miss Ordway's BODY
jumped. though there was no outward
sign, as the tension that had been
growing between them snapped with
the voice of Siletz.
The girl had stopped on the far side
of the room. unnoticed by either. and
now she stood leaning forward with
her hands upon the table. her braids
hanging beside them. The shadow OF
her parted hair was over her eyes.
Miss Ordway's fingers erawled into
her palm, rigid with a desire to infiict
bodily pain upon this unlimited blum
derer. But Siletz was Of the wilder
ness and she did not know she had
committed a faux pas. She knew
only that she had become absorbed in
the exigencies of this mythical man
confronted by 80 grave problem and
she spoke as unconsciously as a child.
With a deep breath exhaled slowly.
as IL a swimmer drew in sweet air,
Sandry lifted his eyes to her.
The right law!" he said. yes.

average honor. And he would hold up
his head If he was of the strength to

For a moment Miss Ordway sat ST.

She dropped her eyes. toying with a
bone-handled fork lying near.
Thanks. Walter" she said at last
gently; Il shall go on with more conf
dence. 1t is q daring thing TO make
my hero do-but-the woman loves
him in spite of a thousand crimes
above and beyond them"
Her heart was beating so fast that
her white throat fiuttered spasmod-
ically at the soft hollow at the base
and she knew that she took chance.
She knew also, es Sandry rose abb
ruptly and left the room, that he had
felt the steel. for his face was gray
again.
In the silence OF the little south
room she stood long. staring into the
yellow flame of the hand lamp ul the
stand. Then. suddenly. she covered
her flushed face With her hands and
shuddered.
