Burglars Still Busy
In Palisade, F. Bull
Home Latest Victim

The F. Warrington Bull home i'll
Palisade avenue, Palisade, was en-
tered by burglar sometime last Fri
day morning. About 2.30 a. m. while
Officer George Bell was passing the
Bull home, through the thick, misty
air. almost fog, he thought he dis
covered a flash of light on the lower
floor. He watched for some moments,
and it being about the time for Of
ficer Heft to be at the signal box
near the Junction, Bell went over
there and brought Heft back for a
closer inspection. Heft went to the
rear of the house and saw the fellow
in the act of going through the back
porch window. Bell in the meantime
was around in front near the hedge
watching for the quarry there. When
the burglar saw Heft, he flew to the
front, where he had left a window
open for a getaway. He darted
through this and wearing sneakers,
he made no noise at all, but was off
before Officer Bell was aware of his
presence. However, even rubbers
will make a crunching sound on
gravel, and Bell hearing this noise,
looked up from where he was crouch
ed behind the hedge, and saw his man
running between the Bull office across
the street and the Stabel moving pic
ture laboratory He took shot at
the fleeing marauder, but didn't bring
him down, so far as he knows.
An examination of the Bull home
developed that the visitor had bun
died up about $3.50 worth of fine
photograph records for his own use,
thinking Mr.. Bull had no further use
for them, and was about to get off
with his prize when cornered.
Several remarks were made about
this latest visitation, one of which
was that the recent Palisade mass
meeting justified itself, but it hasn't
done any good, Another was, what
is best to do with burglar when
there's no one else around.

Boy Scout Drowned
In Old Englewood
Reservoir By Daring

Disobeying orders cost Lloyd Sny-
der, IA, of 613 Gregory avenue, Wee
hawken, member of Troop 7, Wee
hawken Boy Scouts, his life Sunday
afternoon, last. The lad was drowned
in an abandoned reservoir on the
Hutchinson property at Linden ave-
nue. and Woodland street, Englewood,
despite the heroic attempt of Charles
A. Hill, a sailor stationed at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, to save him.
The members of the troop went on
an overnight hike to Coytesville Sat
urday. Scoutmaster A. ]. Winters
gave explicit orders to the boys that
there was to be no swimming. Yes
terday a number of them, Snyder in
Guided, asked permission to go down
to look at the reservoir. Mr.. Winters
gave his consent, but particularly
cautioned Snyder he was not even to
go in wading.
Among those who accompanied
Snyder to the reservoir were Jack
Behr, of 513 Walnut street, West Ho-
boken; George Yunging, of 5 Pleas
ant avenue, Union Hill, and Jack KEEL
lersburg, of $50 Gregory avenue,
Weehawken According to them,
young Snyder insisted on wading into
the water when they reached the
reservoir when he suddenly went
down.
Hill, who was standing near, i'm
mediately dived into the water. After
repeated efforts he located the body
and brought it ashore. For an hour
strenuous efforts were made to resus-
citate the boy, without success The
body was removed to Myers morgue
on Palisade avenue, Englewood. The
lad is son of John Snyder.

Board OF Trade
Appoints Committees
To Boost Borough

The Boost the Borough Campaign
is now under way and the success
of the movement seems assured with
the splendid committees appointed at
the meeting of the Board of Trade
held last Wednesday night. A ten
tative plan of advertising was under
consideration and the means of
financing received careful considera-
ton.
Former Councilman Warren E.
Sammis and Charles Bierne were
named as Finance Committee and
this matter in the hands of these
capable men points the answer to the
greatest question confronting the
new organization.
The membership committee, upon
whom depends the task of enrolling
the best business men of the COM
munity will be Messrs. R. ]. Fox, ST.,
and Charles E. Mclean, of the Penn
Realty Co.
What no doubt will be the most i'm
portant branch Of the work of the
Board of Trade will rest in the power
of the Publicity Committee and the
two men named for this important
committee are H. B. Joyce and Anton
Bohm, both men having wide expert
ence in this field.
1t was decided to assess all charter
members $40 and the Finance Com
mittee contemplate raising sum of
money to get the work started. They
will appear before the Board of Coun-
ell at the next meeting and ask for
assistance as the work contemplated
will prove of direct benefit to the
borough proper.
Plans for an advertising booklet
were discussed at great length. The
Board of Trade proposes to publish
a booklet advertising the benefits and
beauties of the Borough of Cliffside
Park, and show by pretty pictures
and we'll written copy the advantages
of home locations.
A feature to be brought out in the
booklet will be the natural healthful
opportunities that prevail in our COM
munity and to point out the fact that
during the paralysis scare of last
season that not single case was re-
ported in our borough.

A TIME FOR STRONG NERVES

Many people are worrying them.
selves sick over the high cost ofliying.
War time with Its excitement and
hysteria is trial 10 the strongest
nerves. To those whose nervous sys-
TENS are run down by overwork or
worry, to those who are on the verge
of neurasthenia, il is time of danger.
There is no tonic for the nerves that
is not a tonic for every other part of
the body. There Is no form of debility
that does not rob the nerves of nour-
ishment. The remedy therefore for
nervous breakdown Is tonic that will
build up the general health, revitalize
the blood and enable il to carry 10 the
nerves the elements that they need.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
are non.alcoholic and neurasthenic
patients should avoid alcoholic stimu-
lants.
The DIR. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, has published q
little book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia in
which the symptoms are fully describ-
ed and the correct treatment given.
The booklet is free on request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 90
cents per box, six boxes for $50.

IRISH CONVENTION
LAYING OUT WORK
Adjourned Yesterday to Aug. 8 to Form
ulate Program on Home
Rule Question.

London, July 27.-The convention
which England hopes will settle the
Irish home rule question met in Dublin
yesterday, appointed a committee or
procedure to report Aug, 8, and then ad'
journed until that date.
Dublin, July 27.-Sir Horace Plunkett
who has suggested that the Irish con-
stitutional convention proceed as for all
Ireland in drafting the organic law, SO
that Ulster might not protest unadvised-
ly, was indicted into the Craftsmanship
of the convention at its first session in
permanent organization yesterday.
In the Irish cities all parties are deep
ly stirred but there has been no out
break against the government. The
unanimous election of Sir Horace Plum.
kett as chairman is considered an au-
curry for fair progress, although it is I'M
safe to predict anything of this assem-
bly, of representative Irishmen. With
Plunkett as chairman and Sir Francis
Hopwood as secretary, it would appear
that the convention would be capable of
just and conciliatory direction.

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and Just see
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion blem-
isles: to bleach the skin and to bring out
the roses, the freshness and the hidden
beautyf But lemon juice alone is acid,
therefore irritating, and should be mixed
with orchard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well. and you have a whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion To-
ton at about the cost one usually pays
for a small jar Of ordinary cold cream.
Re sure to strain the lemon juice so no
pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands. il should help 70 bleach,
dear, smoother and beautify the skin.
ANY druggist win supply three ounces
Of orchard white At very little cost, and
the grocer has the lemons.-Adv.
