Important Bill
Affects Edgewater
Also Bergen County

Trenton, Feb. 15.-Bergen county's
legislative delegation was surprised
this week to find that Assemblyman
Broekner, Democrat, of Hudson, had
offered bill that does not concern
Broekner's district but that does very
materially affect Bergen county and
especially Edgewater.
It is bill that would give borough
councils power to pass ordinances
permitting overhead crossings or
grade crossings on public streets
where factories want spurs or sid
ings or switches to connect with their
plants.
The most significant feature about
the bill, however, is the last clause
which would validate any such per-
mits that may have been irregularly
granted in the past.
It is claimed that this clause would
validate certain permits granted in
Edgewater. It is also feared that
it would validate a lot of irregular
grants of that kind in other parts of
Bergen county.
Last year similar bill appeared
in the Legislature but there was such
vigorous opposition to it on the part
of Senator Hennessy that the bill
fell by the wayside. This time
Lawyer VIM. D. Edwards, of Jersey
City, brought the bill to Trenton. He
did not give it to Assemblymen
Bailey, Alderman or Winnie to in
troduce but gave it to Hudson
county assemblyman.

Mrs. Barsam, wife of the minister,
led the Young Peqr'aassT ,sSsaaaSiiaty last
Sunday evening at the Palisade
Union Church, and notwithstand-
ing the heavy snow storm there was
a very good attendance out. Her
subject was the Life Of st. Paul, and
she handled her topic admirably She
is an easy, graceful talker, and made
g fine impression by her skill in pre-
senting the life of the great evan
gelist. Prof. Siceloff and Mr.. Bar
sam, also, touched upon the work of
Paul, the former upon his travels,
the latter upon his character. AS an
evening of interesting instruction it
could not have been better. Mrs.
Barsam should be heard again.

Edgewater's Nelu
Free Library Is
Latest Triumph

After several years of planning
and working on the part of the Edge
water Library Association, the cul-
mination of their efforts came last
week when the handsome new library
building in Hudson avenue was dedi-
Gated and became the public's prop
erty.
The site of the new library is a
striking one, the building being
placed high on the slope north of
the ferry, and at the base of the cliff.
The structure is of dark red art brick
with struck joints and white trim
mings. It sets well back from the
street, and is approached from the
sidewalk by broad series of steps.
The interior is artistically tinted, the
furniture and floors being of soft
browns and bronze shades.
The book room, itself, occupies
practically the whole Of the main
floor of the building, the two end
wings being barely separated by the
librarians counter and study in the
C6utcT. k1UOuI CilC Wduo dAS CiS
nearly 5000 volumes which the
library now possesses, besides num-
erous art photographs and volumes
of piano music, which are all loaned
to the public. The greater part of
the basement floor is occupied by the
auditorium. Here are also the most
modern conveniences in the way of
heating and plumbing appliances.
The new library has been most
popular from the start, the rooms
being frequently filled with readers
and borrowers.
Among the activities proposed by
the library are public lectures, chill
dren's study hours, as well as the
loaning of all books in it's possession
and the securing from other libraries
or from the State Library Commits
sion of any other books desired by
patrons. In the library's booklet il
makes this announcement and ap-
peal to the public: "This library is
yours. You pay for it. Use it. Get
the best out of it. See how helpful
it can be-"

Feeding The Birds
In The Wintertinle
Source OF Pleasure

~ have been feeding my winter
birds for many years." said Pail
SADIE lady the other day, "and the
most watchful, or perhaps alert is
the better word, is the grackle, the
black bird that never leaves US in
winter. Each day in the year, unless
l am away, throw out crumbs on
the rear lawn for the birds. The
cockey little English sparrows are
the most persistent feeders. They
never desert the feeding grounds, and
I invariably find them early risers
and long walters. They have the
greatest patience of all the birds
that come around. In the early
spring I feed the robins, and they
become quite tame. Generally not
over three or four robins will feed
regularly, but the grackle are like
bad money, always on hand"
"The grackle," said the lady, "are
not in the least friendly. They have
the eyes of fly, and appear to see
away at the slightest motion of any,
thing in the neighborhood. l have
seen the wind blow a tree branch
near while they were feeding, and up
they would fly and be gone in an in
slant. Sometimes I have been up
stairs looking down at the sparrows
and grackle feeding there through
the lace curtains of my bedroom win
dow; then in order to see them more
distinctly and watch their graceful
movements, l gently draw the cur
tains ajar, and up jump my grackle!
The sparrows never mind such lit
tie thing as being watched, but the
grackle always. They are more afraid
than any bird I know, and are always
on the alert"

Great Fields Of Ice
In Hudson Riuer,
Largest For Year.

The great fields of ice in the Hud-
son river the past week have been
the largest and thickest for several
years. The Edgewater ferry boats
have been put to their limit of push
ing capacity to plough through some
Of the ice fields, which have the ap-
pearance of being from five to eight
inches thick. It's no mean perform
ance to steam through such a resist
ance as a solid acreage of ice, but
both the Fort Lee and Edgewater
were built to stand this kind of a
strain. The Fort Lee, the newest adj
dition to the Public Service ferry
fleet, just eats up the ice, and shoots
through the thickest of it at amaz-
ing speed. The passengers never
tire of watching the boats grind
through the ice, and this week some
of the foes made of broken ice have
piled up five or six feet thick, all
tested the boats severely.
On a number of occasions ferry
boats have been caught in the thick
est of the Hudson ice and stalled and
and hours of maneuvering have
been required to get them out again.
Up at Newburg and other points
| north of Edgewater, the ferry boats
have clear water, owing to the fact
that passage is opened and main
tanned, as the ice fields remain sta
tionary most of the season. What
sends the ice down stream, of course,
is it's breaking loose along shallow
| banks where it is thinner and cannot
stand the strain of the tide and cur
rent.

Old Orchard Schools
Mid Year Exhibit

A function of quite unusual in
terest was the reception and exhibit
ton on Friday afternoon and even
ing, February II, of the Old Orchard
School, Leonia, Mrs. Anna G. Noyes,
principal. Old Orchard is a home
that is school, and a school that is
a home.
In this school home the children
live the broad and complete life of a
small university-a juvenile univer-
sity. Every department is repre-
scented, from the work bench to the
making of theaterettes and the writ
ing and staging of plays. One of the
notable offerings on Friday was the
presentation of "Androcles and the
Lion" by little Ralph Oppenheim, son
of James Oppenheim, the novelist.
The lines were entirely written by
the child, and the paste-board lion,
and actors played and manipulated
behind his own proscenium arch. A
number of the other playlets were
given, as the "The Wolves" ella
watha" and others.
The children also entertained their
guests by fancy dancing, music and
readings. PRODUCTS OF the hands and
minds of the youthful citizens were
exhibited to the visitors. In the pros
pectus of the school one reads: "The
children help +. in the preparing
and serving Of meals, and the rails
ing of garden truck, and run toy and
real electric motors for washing and
sweeping" The following quotation
from John Dewey is found on the
first page of the leaflet: "The intro
duction of every method that appeals
to the child's active powers, to his
capacities in construction, produc-
duction and creation, marks an op-
portunity to shift the center of
ethical gravity from an absorption
which is selfish to service which is
social"

self together, and heaved nightly in
a futile effort to unseat the other.
The sole result of this was tighten
ing pressure on his throat.
The pain grew agonizing; Lanyard's
breath was almost completely shut
off; he gasped vainly; his eyeballs
started; a myriad lights danced blind
ingly before them; in his ears there
rang a roaring like the beat of heavy
surf upon a rockbound coast
Then of a sudden he ceased to
struggle and lay slack and passive in
the others hands
Only an instant longer was the
clutch on his throat maintained Both
hands left it quickly, one shifting to
his head to turn and press it roughly,
cheek to the floor. simultaneously he
was aware of the other hand fumbling
about his neck, and then of a touch
of metal and the sting of a needle
driven into the flesh beneath his ear.
That galvanized him; he came to
life again in twinklng, animate with
threefold strength and cunning. The
man on his chest was thrown of as
by a young earthquake. and Lanyards
right arm was no sooner free than 1t
shot out with blind but deadly accu-
racy to the point of his assailant's
jaw. A click of teeth was followed by
sickish grunt as the man lurched
over.
And then Lanyard was scrambling
to his feet, a bit giddy, perhaps, but
still sufficiently master of his wits to
whip his pistol out before making one
further move

less, Lanyard produced his automatic
