Miss Susanna Breiby
Gives Fine Pupils
Recital In Palisade

The piano recital given by the
pupils of Miss M. Susanna Breiby at
the Palisade school house last Friday
evening, June 8, was without doubt
one Of the most successful affairs
ever given in Palisade. The small
auditorium was packed to overflow
ing with friends and relatives of the
pupils and many other music lovers.
Standing room, which is rare thing
at any affair in this school house was
at premium, proving that the re-
citals given by the pupils of Miss
Breiby are eagerly looked forward to.
At the last three recitals given in
Weehawken hall standing room was
also in demand. Over two hundred
and fifty were present last Friday
night. An excellent program was
given. The large variety of num-
bers, from dainty minuets to the stu
pendous List Rhapsody served to de-
light even the most critical of con-
cert goers.
Much was expected of the three
advanced pupils, Mrs. Frank Ferris,
Miss Elizabeth Henderson and Mr..
Robert Caffall, and all three played
up to their standard. Robert Caffall,
who closed the program with LISTS
Rhapsody No. 8, brought down the
house with applause which did not
cease until he played an encore.
Miss Blanche Miller, who is but
twelve, and has been taking lessons
but year and half, proved the
real hit of the evening. Her tech
nique and color thrilled the audience
who rendered her thunderous APP
plause, which all but frightened the
young pupil.
Miss Maxine Sibley, who has been
heard at number of affairs in Pail
SADIE, rendered two Mcdowell pieces,
and one Chaminade in pleasing
manner. She played McDowelPs
Hungarian" with great dash and
brilliancy and proved herself young
piano player of whom much can be
expected in the future. Miss Hilda
Neinstaedt played Rubenstein's
Romance" with breadth. Her shad-
ings were particularly beautiful. This
broad number coming on top of the
lively "Stabbe Laaten," by Grieg, re-
quired great care that it would not
fall fiat, and Miss Neinstaedt did not
disappoint.
Miss Mildred Eldridge, Miss Doro-
thy Sippi, Miss Louise Baily, Miss
Margaret Cav played charmingly,
while Miss Margaret Brooks, Miss
Natalie Tom, Miss Marian Woodman,
Miss Carrie Hauschild, Miss Ethel
Movie and Miss Corrine Ingalls, rem
dered their pieces in delightful
manner.
The results were most gratifying
to Miss Breiby, who has labored hard
to bring out the best in her pupils
That she succeeded is evidenced by
the large number of congratulations
given her by those who attended.

Short Measure In
Roadside Automatic
Gasoline Pumps

The Department of Weights and
Measures is waging campaign
against the road side gasoline stands.
Supt. John R. O'Connor, of Bergen
county has been very active along
these lines the past ten days. Super
intendent O'Connor says many pumps
that he has inspected thus far short
measure one pint in five gallons, and
some pumps short measure as high
as quart and pint on five gallons.
In Ridgewood three pumps were SO
inaccurate that they were ordered
closed. At different garages it was
possible to adjust the pumps
The department intends to have
the automobilist get the gasoline he
pays for, and it is notorious that the
automatic machines are not giving
proper measure in a large number Of
cases.
Superintendent O'Connor says he
intends to give the next ten days to
a thorough examination of every
stand in Bergen county.
The department made a special
ruling requiring all stands to test
their pumps every morning before
using and after every new batch of
gasoline. These instructions are be-
ing posted on the pumps and the deal
ers will be responsible for the ac-
curacy of their measures. This order
is under date of June a, and Mr.
O'Connor says it is his purpose to
specialize on all gasoline measuring
devices until, in Bergen county, they
are standardized.

John Y. Dater Wants
To Be Freebooter And
Team-Mate Of Coe

John Y. Dater, president of the
Board of Education, of Ramsey, and
editor of the Ramsey Journal, came
out last Tuesday as candidate for
one of the two Republican Freebooter
nominations, the terms of Louis S.
Coe, of Englewood, and j. Blauvelt
Hopper, of Ridgewood, expiring next
January.
In his statement Mr.. Dater says:
"My interest in county government
and in the success of the Republican
party has been on the lines of econ
omy, efficiency and good government.
| believe the Republican party can
best succeed by adhering to those
lines, and l also believe the record
of Freebooter Coe shows how abso-
lutely he can be relied on to carry
out these principles when intrusted
with responsibility.
81 have been urged to run for the
other Republican Freebooter nomina-
ton as the associate of Mr.. Coe,
pledged to the same policy to which
he has so sturdily adhered and which
he has so well exemplified during his
service in the board. After mature
elaboration | have agreed to become
candidate with Mr.. Coe and to make
the first standing squarely for the
principles herein set forth"

Summer School To
Aid Preparedness

Among the innovations at the
sixth summer session of the Rutgers
Scientific School, which opens July
2, will be the addition of great
variety of new courses designed to
aid in the present national crisis.
Among those of especial Importance
are the practical courses in canning,
picking and drying of fruits. Not
only are these courses for vocational
teachers of cooking and for House
hold Arts teachers of elementary and
high schools but also for housewives
and all others interested in gaining
practical knowledge in these subjects.
The instruction will include the can
ming and drying of fruits and vege-
tables by the various methods and
the making of hominy and other
cereal products. A large part of the
course will consist in actual canning,
drying, sailing and picking, the
management of simple household
machines and instruction in build
ing simple homemade Gamers, dry
ers and other machines.
Because of the very rapid develop
ment of vocational education in the
United States in recent years, many
additional courses in this field have
been added this year to the summer
schools long list of courses. Among
the important courses offered are in
troduced and extension courses in the
theory and practice of vocational
teaching, methods of teaching in in
dustrial schools, teaching of cooking
in vocational schools, teaching of
dressmaking in vocational schools,
agriculture for vocational schools and
the curriculum and the administra-
ton of the agricultural high school.
Adequate provisions have been
made for these courses at New Bruins
wick and in addition for extension
courses at number of places in the
State.

Fairuiew Wins Fight
To Tax Cemeteries

After legal fight which has been
carried through the courts for near
ly six years, Fairview has won its
fight for taxation against the two
cemeteries in that borough, according
to decision of the New Jersey Su-
preme Court. The decision was
handed down last Friday.
Fairview's fight against the bury
ing grounds in it's town has been
watched with much interest from
throughout Bergen and Hudson coun-
ties, and it is needless to say that
the outcome of the case is glad It'd
ings to all except, of course, the per-
When Mayor Charles Lyons took
office in 1911 he was determined to
COMPEL the cemeteries to pay taxes.
Harry Smith, the assessor, was in
structed to make proper assessments
on the property, which he did, but it
was a different question when Col
lector Thomas Fay went for the bor
ough's money.
The cemetery people laughed at the
efforts of the borough officials to col
lect taxes. 1--WE never paid taxes
and never WILL" was their deply
"Well, we will see," replied Mayor
Lyons and he forwith proceeded to
call in legal advise on the matter.
Special counsel was employed on the
matter and after many months
suit was started. Mayor Lyons,
backed by members of the board,
fought the case through court after
court. 1t was a hard fight and many
times seemed like loosing PROPOSE
ton. But he was determined and
Mayor Lyons kept hammering away
until his efforts to show that the
cemeteries were nothing but land
corporations, began to show results.
And the harsh criticisms that were
making the rounds at one time have
now turned into congratulations that
are pouring into Mayor Lyons and
those who backed him.
The cemetery people can carry
their case to the Court of Appeals,
but it is believed that the wording
of the decision of Justices Swayze,
Minturn and Kalisk, before whom the
case was argued, will prevent any
more fight from them.
The decision means that the Dor
ough will receive $4,000 in back
taxes and that in the future each
cemetery will have to pay yearly
tax of $1,750.
The borough was represented by
Attornies Edwards and Smith, Of
Jersey City, while the firm of Weller
& Lichtenstein looked after the in
terest of the cemeteries.

Three Seasons.

"a cup for hope" she said,
In springtime ere the bloom was old !;
The crimson wine was poor and cold,
By her mouths richer red.
"A cup for Lowell" bow low,
How soft the words; and all the while
Her blush was ripping with smile
Like summer after snow
ga cup for memory"
Cold cup that one must drain alone:
While autumn winds are up and mona
Across the barren sea.
Hope, memory, love:
Hope for fair morn, and love for day,
And memory for the evening gray
And solitary dove.

Wrap I'D the Milk

An Irishman, passing store where
a notice was displayed saying that
everything was sold by the yard,
thought he would play joke on the
shopman, so he entered the shop and
asked for yard of milk. The shop
man, not in the least taken aback,
dipped his fingers in bowl of milk
and drew line yard long on the
counter. Pat, not wishing to be
caught in his own trap, asked the
price.
"Ten CENTS" said the shopman.
"All right, sorr," Pat said. "Roll
it up; I'll take it,"

Varities Of Talk
From W. Palisade
Solve This Tax Riddle

Now is the time to do little more
thinking about taxation. Let US get
it all thought out before the blow
falls and the bill comes in.
The Allison Land case is in point
Not that this piece of land is any
different from any other piece of
land. 1t is the principle we want to
study and not the case.
All taxation is wrong in principle
and should be entirely abolished.
Why? Because the word "tax"
means "take" and take" means
"steal." 'Thou shalt not tax" is ex-
actly the same as "Thou shalt not
steal"
Then, what is the community to
do in order to collect money enough
to support the government? All,
there's the rub. There is the real
heart of the question.
Question-What must man do to
support his life?
Answer-He must take that which
is his own.
@. What must the community do
to support it's existence?
Alt must take that which is its
own.
Q.-WnaC IS a mans own!
A.-That which he produces.
Q.-What is the community's own
A.-That which it produces.
Q.-What does a man produce?
A.-Capital and Labor product
wealth.
Q.-What does the community pro-
duce?
A.-Land values.
Then let the man take the wealth he
produces by his Capital and) labor;
and let the community take land
values. There are no land values
without a community.
Anyone who cannot follow this
logic will be permitted to run as a
candidate for the next convention OF
chumps, with the certainty of being
elected.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
COPING THE NICKELS.-There

W.T. Z I'M Tx lNlSTNELSs- L ACAC
Is one very important item of nickel
grabbing prevalent in Chicago with
which every telephone user. is ia
miliar, but which seems to have been
overlooked or no fuss made about it.
If you received every day the num-
Der of nickeIs dropped into telephone
boxes when you cannot get your
number or your nickel back there
would be no occasion of your being
in the publishing business. You can
hoIer your head off; you are required
to deposit another nickel or slug; are
told to consult the manager; the OPP
orator connects you with the sweet
voiced girl next to her; you have
wasted several minutes of your time,
lose your patience and hang up in
disgust, but remember that the tele-
phone company as a result has eth
er one or two Of your jitneys.
Be that bad as it may, there is an
other nickeI-getting scheme perpe-
trated by the telephone company
that everybody is familiar with, but
w 444N44 u DOAy DCOLAAo " 1AASAA4AS vs.
and that is the cOmpany's standing
rule to it's operators to ring a number
for five or ten minutes when they
know nobody has answered, not be-
cause they want to raise the party
you are calling, but to tire you out so
that you will not wait for your nickel
to be returned. For instance, you
deposit a nickel in the box. No one
answers the call. You will not be
informed that the party does not an
swer. Oh, no! That is where the
graft comes in. The average man is
busy. His time is valuable. The OPP
orator will keep ringing that number
for five or ten minutes; you know
the party does not answer and you
try to signal central, but no answer.
That cussed thing will buzz until
you are worn out and the average
man will hang I'D in disgust and, as

to keep calling for an unreasonable
length of time to tire out the party
telephOning. 1t is the common prac-
tice of the telephone company and
everybody knows about it, yet no one
seems to hOller. Barney" Sunny
and his crew get the coin.
There ought to be an ordinance
passed that the public should not be
required to deposit their money IN
til they get a connection. An ordi-
nance like that was passed once, but
whether it is alive today l do not
know. The public should not be re-
quired to pay before they get the
number they want. AS it is, they pay
first and then sweat either to get the
right connection or to get their mo-
ney back if the line is busy or the
party does not answer.
When you take into consideration
the thousands Of persons who are
using the 'nickel-in-the-sIOt" phones
every second Of the day you can get
some idea of the magnitude of this
graft and why the company wants
your money first before getting the
service. When that nickel is dropped
in the box they want to keep it and
resort to every subterfuge to that
end.
Ask any of your reporters. They
know about this, but perhaps they do
not realize that it is a studied form
of niCkel-grabbing on the part Of the
telephone cOnlpany.-M. A. c.

 Labor is the father and land is the mother, and the best things of life are the children of these two. Our cities are too big. These farm boys. making tractors in the winter will know how

 We must think more about machinery. If this war is to be won, it will be won by the nation that knows best how to use tools and machinery; that knows the secret of quantity production through standardization on one model. 1 have been disappointed during this visit to Washington to find our government planning different sizes and kinds of equipment and machinery where one model could be used. Ships can be built faster, better and cheaper if standard sized to a single model One model makes possible production in enormous quan- titles, reduced cost and improves quail ity. In this standardization lies the secret of American industrial power, and we need our industrial power in this war.
 From the distance I thought the best work in Washington would be done by civilian aids On this visit I have seen something of the army officers. They have discipline and training that Is needed by the country at large. Their influence should spread.
 Business men must stop thinking so much about profits. If you shoot craps or play poker for money, it's gambling. To play for profits with the titles to factories in the stock market is gam bling, too. Factory owners must think more about making their worlmen strong and healthy, and making prod ucts that are really useful to their cus- toners.
 The greatest service you can do is to get off the other fellows back. No man should live without working. We are finding out that all men are brothers, and that no man should soldier on his fellows. I hear that at the front all hatred Is gone. From the war the com
