 The workers met at luncheon at the Hotel Hillman and all were full of en- thusiasm for the project which means so much to this well known institution. Committees and teams were assigned to the work and they started out to raise the necessary sum in the shortest possi- ble time. They will make their reports at noon today
 This is not an ordinary charity gift; it is a privilege to contribute to such a cause,' said Chairman George H. Estes in explaining the plans for the campaign.
 OTHER POINTS STRESSED
 Other speakers informally called atten- ton to the fact that the Mercy Home is 9 years old this month; that it's growth has been continuous and steady; that it now has very important branches, in cluding the auxiliary, the Greene, of which Mrs. London is president and the Nursery Guild, of which Mrs. George Reynolds is president, and that the health record of the home is regarded as phenomenal. There has not beJen death among the hundreds of children handled during the past two years
 The fund now being sought by the la- dies is to make certain necessary repairs which have been long delayed. They 1n- clude the changing of partitions to get more light and air, replastering work at the home, rebuilding of floors which have become badly worn by the pattering ,f thousands of little feet during many years, and other minor repairs.
 Those who are assisting in the cam paign will meet at lunch today at the Young Mems Christian association at 12:3 o'clock. Checks may be made payable to the Mercy Home and may be sent to MT. Estes or to The Age-Herald and

they will be forwarded to the treasurer, Mrs. Weisel.
 EXPECT GENEROUS RESPONSE

Indications are that Birmingham will of fer a generous response to the appeal.
 Constantly children are being refused admission into the home because of in- sufficient quarters, according to the ma tron, Mrs. Margaret Ramsey. Only the other day she had 15 calls regarding chill dren within an hour she says.
 Tt is one of the hardest things have to do," said Mrs. Ramsey, ito refuse ac- commodation for any child. However, We are crowded to the limit now. and with our present limited quarters 1t isn't pos sible to answer every call that comes.''
 There are at present about 100 children in the home. Of this numb CT, practically half are in the public schools. The other half either belong to the kindergarten or to the nursery.
 With the $3o00 to be raised during the campaign it is hoped to enlarge the quar- ters so that at least a large per cent or all the calls coming into the home may be accommodated, according to members of the board.
 BUILT 23 YEARS AGO
 The building in which the Mercy Home is now located was built 23 years ago. Naturally, the demands have outgrown the quarters afforded, and the members of the board feel that the institution can not meet the demand made upon it with out an addition to the old building or an entirely new home.
 There are various other improvements that it is hoped to make, which will place the institution in position to offer a home to practically all who call upon it.
 The 5000 Is not being raised to defray the current expenses of the home, but to make improvements which have been deemed necessary for a number of years.

THE GARY SYSTEM.
BY DIR. Frank Crane.

The Gary system is being discus
sed in New York with all the refresh
ing enthusiasm Of ignorance.
Perhaps a simple statement of the
facts in the case may be of use.
it is so called because it was first
tried out in Gary, Indiana. 1t has
nothing whatever to do with Judge
Gary of the Steel Corporation, who
is guilty Of the crime Of success and
hence is a bugaboo to the soap-bOX
crowd.
It was introduced into New Yort.
simply because it is the latest, most
modern, most scientific and most SEN
sible step in education, and New York
wanted the best.
Why Is it SO opposed by certain
classes in the great city?
Just a few years ago the Chicago
sports shot ducks over the sand
dunes on the Indiana shore of Lake
Michigan, where the city of Gary now
stands. Not soul lived there.
Then the Steel Corporation located its
work there. As il overnight there
sprang up a modern city, with sky
scrapers, street cars, electric lights,
and all other city equipment. The
citizens, of course set up a publ
school. They secured teacher Nv
the name of Writ TO head it.
Writ found the one opportunity Of
a lifetime, and Of the United States,
to wit a brand new city, with no old
'ossils on the board Of education, and
no mouldy traditions to kill off any
new ideas SO instead of creating {
school just like all other schools, he
instituted a system where children
are really developed and made good

No Church Vaudeville
Wanted.

In little home town like Ridgefield
Park with ten churches, the teachings
of the Gentle Galilean should require
no theatrical effects or staging like
a bad play.
There is no need to convert the Cos
pei of Love and the Masters Message
into cheap vaudeville. With few ex-
ceptions such shows or plays are with
out literary, dramatic or religious
value.
If the time should come when the
people feel that the only way to "get
religion" is via the vaudevillecomedy
route they should obtain the services
of first-class theatrical manager to
preclude the possibility of hiring a
fourth-rate religious actor as the star
for the play.-Ridgefield Park Bulle-
tin.

Their Ender's town?

Clifside At Admission.

When we pick up the morning pa
pers our first thought is, what are
they doing in Italy?" or who's who
in Russia ?" or what is the present
price of butter?" etc, but how many
of us have let our thoughts drift for
momen to Wrightstown, Spartans-
burgburg, Dumont, Admission, Geor-
gia or any other training camp? At
these camps discipline means every
thing and to disobey an order would
be flirting with death, as they say
Isn't this a great strain? So, surely
hey must have something to recreate
themselves besides going the mo-
vies, writing home or to the fairer
sex.
A word from Admission gives us a
little more enhghtment on this sub
ject than we can ordinarily receive
from the papers. The boys who en-
listed in the 9Th N. J. N. G., were sent
to Admission for training purposes.
They are no longer known as the 9th
n. J. N. G. but are now under the
name of the 104th Engineers, Com
panyF. The best report from Annis-
ton has it that a football team has
been formed, the players for which
were picked from the entire company
In scannig the lineup of the first
team of the camp that will meet the
Virginia Grays at Admission Saturday
(today), we notice that seven Grant
wood men will replace the army kha-
XII for the old moleskins for only q
few hours to uphold the honor OF
Camp Mcclellan and, indirectly OF
Grantwood.
The non-players are planning a big
time for those who are to represent
them in the first gridiron contest
The regimenal band will render few
popular selections.

follows:

Last Sunday the Oxford Bullets
showed that they were out for teams
in their own class when they brought
over he Citon A. c., champions of
Nutely, N. J. If it is true. that the
Citons have the champion team of
Nutley then the Bullets may now
claim the championship of Nutley,
Fort Lee, and Cliffside as they have
defeated the strongest teams from
from each of these towns and their
hat is still in the ring.
80 to 0 beating is a pretty rough
deal on a champion team. and it
simply indicates that the Oxfords are
playing brand of football that will
defeat the best of them.

Tis good to see the Stars and Stripes
Outlined against the blue,
The symbol of a mighty land,
To justice ever true.
It's folds CLEAN in the morning suit
And faunt upon the breeze,
And there will come a time ere long
When, far across the sease,
That standard fair will scale the

And sweep the battle plain,
And Prussianism, crushed to earth,
Will never rise again.

proved to be the ''big guns" of the
home team as they did the biggest
part of the scoring. The Bullets can
pull off and end run very easily as
their line works wonders and oppos-

Twice Within Four Days.
Cliffside, Tuesday, Nov. 6-After
laying off over Sunday and with but
light practice Monday, Cliffside
Park High School football warriors
celebrated Election Day by taking on
one Of its strongest riVals-Clason
Point Military Academy.
The poulace of Clffside Park tore
itself away from the polls for a few
hours and enjoyed a real football
game. Our boys were the first On
the field and while they, and most Of
the fellows present, were kicking the
pigskin around, waiting for the
struggle to begin, Clason Poit quiet
~ put in an appearance. 1t was then
case of Eyes Right" to watch them
come on. They brought a goodIy
crowd with them, some clad in the
uniform OF the institute. The team
soon finished the work out, the field
was stripped for action with Clitfside
on the receiving end.
Agai Cliffside was outWeighed
1t does not seem exactly sportsman
like to make excuses for the home
boys but it is merely to impress upon
the minds of the public how light the
team really is.
The home team started in plough
ing the line, circling the ends and
then made the military boys feel per
fectly at home by going cover the
top" At any rate Cliffside made a
bold try against the odds and as
result neither team scored in the first
half. During the last few minutes
of the second quarter, however, Hoe
tor, the Clason Point quarterback,
ran back a punt from his own 40 yard
line to Cliffside's goal line, Here,
while behind the goal line, he was
tackled and fumbled the ball. Cliff
side fell on it, thereby completing a
touchback-bu5 40 Score was made.
The ball was brought out to Cliffside's
20 yard line, the whistle blew and the
first half was over, no score being
made all around.
That tumble by ClaeOn Point look
ed like the break Of the game but in
the second half Clason changed its
tactics and resorted to an open game
and forward passes Again the for
ward pass proved stumbling block
to Clffside They cannot stop it and
when the game was over the score
stood at 40 with Clason on the
long end.
1t was a hard fought game and
was marred only by the very frequent
knock outs and the numerously in
Acted penalties. Regardless of their
disadvantage in weight, the Cliffside
boys simply threw themselves at the
Soldier Boys" and as result came
down hard.
The back field again tore off some
long runs. Scullion was again seen
in the line-up-he replaced Shagner
after the latter was hurt. Archie
showed up well although his sore leg
was a considerable hinderance to him.

 It is pointed out that Tuscaloosa and Dothan, among other nearby cities, have incinerators.
