Mrs. Logan Falls
Over Dog In Home;
Is Seriously Hurt

Mrs. Charles T. Logan was the
victim last week of a dangerous fall
in the dark. In going from her own
room to that of her daughter, she did
not see "Snow," the family collie
who was lying on the floor between
the rooms-or rather just within the
room she was entering. She stumbled
over the dog, and in the act of fall
ing threw out her hands, not know
ing what would happen next. Her
head hit the dresser, and the whole
weight of her body came down on her
left knee and her two hands, the ma
jor portion being on the left hand
and wrist. She suffered great pain,
and the left wrist became much
swollen. DR.. Ahern, Of Grantwood,
was called. He declared that the
pain came from strained ligaments,
and that no bones were broken. The
pain still continues, and it may be
necessary to have an X-ray made to
determine just what the damage is.
The left wrist turned blue-black for
a space of three inches on both
sides of the arm.

$50 Cars Per Hour
Along Anderson Ave.
Last Sunday P. M.

Judge Duncan McClave and Mr..
Quill, of Cliffside, were in Palisade
last Sunday enjoying the beautiful
afternoon. The judge called atten-
ton of a "Palisadian" reporter to
the fact that they had been count
ing the passing automobiles in An
derson avenue for the past half houl
(near three p. NO. and found that
there was an average of $50 cars
per hour going along the avenue.
There never were as many cars
out on any Sunday afternoon, and
while only occasional drivers broke
the speed laws, there were enough of
these to warrant some sort of traf-
fic control, but there was no sign of
police the whole day, so far as any
one could see.
The fool speeder, of course, was in
evidence, as always, and one woman
driver going south went easily forty
miles as she crossed Bluff road about
five-fifteen. She went humming, of
course. Other men drivers insisted
on passing around other cars that
did not seem to be moving fast
enough and took all sorts OF chances
in getting out in front, temptation
many drivers ylelu TO, no udIteI
what the rules or law says. OF
course, the present season promises
a greatly increased number of cars
along Palisade avenue-perhaps
twice as many as in any previous
year. That some sort of protection
must be instituted is self-evident,
for unless something is done some
thing is HabIdoto i. pen one of these
fine afternoons or evenings.

For diversion the boys are allow
ed three afternoons during the week

one hand and a few steps to the west
the beautiful Riverside Park and the
Hudson, with the picturesque Pail

After all, what school is can be
accurately judged by the output of
its youth and the quality of their
conduct and manners, and one notes
that these are of very high order.

Optical Illusion
Made Car Look Odd

Funny thing took place in Ander-
son avenue last Sunday. An auto
mobile was seen coming along the
roadway that had every appearance
of being run backwards. When it
got opposite the observer it was
seen that the cover to the hood Tor
was it the hood of the engine p
covering the engine, was entirely
missing, and the rig in that shape
made a queer looking machine. 1t
made many people laugh outright,
only when it got nearer the notion
that it was really running backward
completely changed. The funny
part of it all was that the next
minute another automobile came
along running in the opposite direc-
ton seemed to be all right, and its
hood was off, also. 1t was the low
slung engine on the first car that
caused the optical delusion.

Having Flower Troubles

The trouble with gardening nova
days is to get flowers to grow with
out having to cover the leaves and
stalks with heavy coast of washes
varying in color from the rainbow to
lime wash and SCOT. Once l tried
Paris green, thinking that it anyway
would not change the color of the
leaves much. But they turned dark
brown, and when the rain washed
off the green coating the foliage
looked like an autumn scene after
the second or third frost.
