Little Tot Dies From
Trolley Injuries Both
Legs And Arm Gone

Little Francis R. Teense, the s.
year-old tot of 124 Humboldt street,
East Rutherford, who was horribly
mangled when run over by a trolley
ca in that place Tuesday, both legs
and an arm being amputated, died in
the Hackensack Hospital at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
The boy apparently came out of
the shock after the accident and was
conscious almost up to the time of
his death. The case was so remark
able that even the doctors comment
ed upon it.
Francis, it is said, was bound for
ane candy store to purchase a "lolly
pop" escorted by his grandmother.
The child broke away from her in
his eagerness and in crossing the
street was struck down by the car
which it is said to have been ap-
preaching at fast rate Of speed
The little body became so entang-
led in the wheels that it was found
necessary to jack up the car to get
him out.
William Mills, of Paterson, motor
man of the car, is under arrest, but
has not yet been sent to the county
jail-Record.

A VERY UNSAVORY MESS.

The Grantwood post Office is surely
a bone of contention these days.
Within the past week there has. been
enough wire pulling and palvering
over it to sicken a dog. When Mr..
Richard Fox gave up the Office some
months ago there was an immediate
scramble on, and numerous appli-
cants under the Civil Service rules
for the Job. Prof. Mattison, a school
teacher, Mrs. Comstock, a widow and
Mr.. Kenny, a New York lawyer, were
among these and the marks they got
were in the order named.
Mr.. Fox's commission was not out
till early in 1919, but he notified the
bonding company, his securities, and
Edward A. Kenny was duly appoint
ed to temporarily fill the position. He
was heralded by George Foley, the
local reporter of the Hudson Dispatch,
his pedigree duly given as a great
man who would introduce many won
derful and needed reforms, "drives"
etc. The public wondered how Mr..
Kenny, a prosperous and successful

Mayor Cadien Again
Calls For Volunteers
For New Registration

Mayor John C. Cadien of Cliffsi6e
Park has again issued a call for VOL
unteers to take up the work of assist
ing in the registration of the men in
the new draft, and all who desire to
help in this patriotic work are urged
to offer their services. Mayor Cadien
estimates that at least 1000 men will
register under the new law in the bor-
ough of Cliffside Park, the average
of about sixty-two men having figured
up as having signed up between the
ages of 81 and 81, and with this same
average maintained for the seventeen
years that will come from men req.
tering from Is to 45, total Of 1850
men will have to register.
The seventeen years represent the
three from 18 to 81 class and the
fourteen for those between 81 and IS
years, the figures having been arrived
at after a careful constellation Of the
averages figured up throughout the
entire district.

POLICE NOT AROUND AS USUAL

Palisade was again visited by bur-
glars last Monday night about nine
o'clock, the Phillips house corner Of
Bluff and Cumbermede roads being
entered. The Alcide Pinards were
sitting On their front porch when they
saw light go up in the second story

Palisade Boys Meet
On Flanders Field.
Salute, Then Pass On

A letter received at the home Of
Conrad Breiby in West Palisade tells
of the Signal Corps boys being in fine
health and hopeful spirits. Conrad
wrote that he had been ON the firing
line On two occasions, and compared
the awful sounds of battle with a
violent and long continued thunder
storm. He relates a strange and in
teresting incident connected with
meeting other Palisade boys in Fland-
ers. 1t will be remembered that when
two days out at sea in the trip over
young Breiby ran across Sergeant
Harry Elkan and Sergeant Glenn
Hacker none Of them knowing the
others were aboard. Well, Conrad
was on duty recently when who should
ride by on horseback but Harry Ell
kan, bringing up old Palisade days.
And strangely enough, they could
only pass and salute, as both were
hurrying along on duty. Shortly after
this incident Conrad writes that he
passed Company of American sold
iers On a Flanders road when he saw
Glenn Hacker, Mrs. Ernest Sibley's
nephew, in the ranks.
Hello Glenn!" said Conrad.
"Hello Conrad!" replied Glenn.
Elbow are you'll" called Conrad.
"Fine!" answered Glenn. And
they passed on. And you can't beat
that for showing how small the world
is. Think of it!

Important Meeting Of
Community Chorus
Next Sunday Epening

An attendance at the Community
Chorus rehearsal of fifty-one persons
last Sunday evening and Of fifty-six
on Tuesday evening not only showed
that people from the hilltop section
are returning from their summer va
cations but gave gratifying evidence
that the work is being known and ap-
preciated. A large delegation from
Cliffside and Grantwood as we'll as
representatives from Fort Lee, Pail
SADIE and other towns of the section
were present.
On Sunday evening it was officially
announced that the generous services
of Madame Wheeler in leading the
work of the Community Singing of
patriotic songs had been formally &C
cepted by the Mayors council of the
Borough of Fort Lee and by the War
Activities Committee and that she
had been given full powers in organi-
zing and developing the War Activl,
ties Festival of the Palisades.
At the next rehearsal On Sunday
evening the names of all those who
desire to actually take part in the
Festival and consequently to attend
rehearsals regularly from now On will
be taken. 1t is highly essential that
every one wishing to enroll in this
work come out next Sunday evening
to the Palisade School house, where
rehearsals are regularly held at $3.50
o'clock. Further information as te

AS requested by the Postmaster
General in his order, dated August

order, quoted below:
To All Telephone Companies ,
Pursuant to the authority vested
in me by the Presiden Of the United
States in his proclamation OF July
22. 1918, you are notified that during
the period Of Federal control, and I'M

TO confine extentions and better

work to meet war requirements ana

Mrs. H. Elkan Dies In
Palisade Home From
Long, Painful Illness

The community of Palisada was
greatly shocked on Thursday when
the death of Mrs. H. Elkan was an
nounced. She had been a sufferer
for long time from an incurable
disease, and while there had been
every effort to save her life the end
came finally on Wednesday night. Mr..
Elkan was at Camp Whitman when
summoned home, arriving Tuesday
night. The end was very peaceful,
the good woman being surrounded by
her devoted family with the excep-
ton of the eldest son, Harry Elkan,
who is now in France. The news to
him will be a terrible blow, as he was
devotedly attached to his mother.
Mrs. Elkan was native OF Alsace-
Lorraine, and was born fifty-four
years ago. She was named Henrietta
Dreyfus. She was woman of Pc
culiar qualities, in that she was re-
firing to a degree, yet withal fine
neighbor, and made many friends.
She did many gracious deeds Of char
ity quietly, and was generous to a
fault. Her heart was wrapped up
in her family, and she was mother
of unusual devotion, and a woman OF
fine character, full of kindness and
tender emotions. She took the de-
parture of her son Harry very much
to heart for a while, but finally sent
him away with all her love and long
ing. She is survived by her husband
one daughter, Hulda, and two sons
Harry and Milton, the latter living
with the family in Palisade.
The funeral took place Friday
from the Elkan home in Bride way
in Palisade, the intsrment being IN
Eairview.

Bailey Asks Tozer
Some Plain Things
On Prohibition

Herbert M. Bailey, one q tile
didates for the Republican Assembly
nominations in Bergen county, on the
George L. Record ticket, Tuesday ad-
dressed an open letter to one of his
opponents, St John Tozer, Of Bogotaa,
and requested him to state his posi-
ton on the national prohibition
amendment now awaiting ratification
by the New Jersey Legislature. The
Record candidates favor prohibition.
Mr.. Tozer's two colleagues, Assembly
Winnie and Glover, failed to vote last
winter for the ratification of the ma
tional prohibition amendment; mr.;
Bailey's two colleagues on the Record
Assembly ticket, Charles J: Leeger'
Of Grantwood, and John B. Van Note,
of Lyndhurst. are very out-spoken
for prohibition.

Red Cross Nurses
Largely Exceed The
Number Govt Wanted

The first Sunday under the Gov
ernment's request that no passenger
car automobiling be done was gener-
ally observed in this section. There
were only few cars out, relatively,
and yet in the afternoon there were
many more than one would have
expected. Of these some were clear
! ly, in open violation of the ruling at
E121AG hirgtnn, cahars couN poasi
I've given reasonable excuse for
being out. The first few cars obsr-
vable in Palisade were business cars,
though of the passenger car make.
One of these drove up to Joe VOL
pert's residence in Columbia avenue
about eight-thirty o'clock, but did not
,remain longer than half a minute
and was off again In q rush.
About three p. m. a "Palisadian"
reporter took a stand in Anderson
avenue and it looked forlorn it was
so completely deserted of all forms
Of traffic. In half and hour the ma
chimes began to thicken up. The
first vehicle to pass was a horse
drawn buggy with two women and
man driver. The reporter ventured
to ask, "Gasolsne or kerosene?" The
man laughed out loud, as did the
two women companions, and drove
on without any audible reply. They
saw the joke, evidently.
A very Germanesque crowd in a
big touring car came along a bit la
ter and seeing the paper and pencil
in the reporters hand, every one
looked out of the side of the car as
though as to say, 20, We are attend
ing to our own business" Which

POLICE! POLICE! POLICE! POLICE!

Mr.. T. w. Dynan, now living in
the Steel house, Abbott boulevard
Palisade, with his family, and who
came from Batavia, N. Y, last March,
had his home burglarized some time
ago, mention of which did not reach
the "Palisadian," thanks to the de-
testible system in vogue at Fort Lee
through the nasty ruling of Mayor
White, whereby this newspaper is
barred from all police information.
However, the fact was that burglar
invaded the Dynan home in the
strangest way. Mr.. Dynan has had
a great deal of experience with detec-
tive work, but this one gets him. The
work was cross between that Of an
amateur and professional. The
principle thing the thief got in this
visit was $104.00 in cash. He might
have had more of the latter had he
known of it, or hunted further. AS it
was the thief made a searching effort
to find everything of value, and but
for his having been scared away,
would have taken fine gold watch
and some valuable silverware.
He must have gotten in the cellar
door," Mr.. Dynan says, "for we were
up till quite late that night, and saw
no signs of any one having been
around, though do recall having
seen a shadow when we left the gar
age in the night to come into the
house after we had driven friends to
the ferry. Mrs. Dynan, also, says
she saw what looked like a shadow,
but we both thought it might be the
trees. My own theory is that the
chap came into the house in the early
evening and fell asleep, for nothing
had been disturbed when we retired
about 2. a. m. The maid says she
was up at six o'clock the next morn
ing and the silver was intact. The
thief left the silver and watch in his

course, that might have money
secreted in them, and my several

and examined for money or valuables,
and the rugs all turned over"
Continuing, Mr.. Dynan said: 81

but Palisade has the poorest police
protection l have ever encountered.
1t is worse than nothing. In my case
Mr.. Schall, the chief, did all in his
power to aid me in finding a trace Of
the man, but that was then hopeless
task. He sent very competent man
here from New York, but the search
was a failure, with never lead de-
veloped. l do not blame Mr.. Schall,
Of course, but the system we have
here is rotten, what little there is of
it. l wan to say that this incident
has made me make up my mind to
move away from Palisade. And l
like the village a whole lot at that"

SOLDIERS, MORE SOLDIERS.

Reliable evidence that our troops are being
moved to France is given by the comparative
rapidity with which the available drafted men
are being called to camp. If congress acts
promptly and the present rate OF call IS kept UP
our new draft will be in training before the
summer is we'll over. It is reasonable to be-
lieve that congress is in mood to make pos
sible the enlargement of our army to such
force as will be needed to make good our prom
Uses and make good the wars needs More
over, it is reasonable to hope that Secretary
Baker has been open to conviction and that he
is now ready to work for such an army as no
ought to have recommended and fought for a
year ago. Secretary Baker has an opportunity
to redeem in part at least some Of the mis-
judgments of which he is self convicted. There
can be no doubt of the readiness Of the house
committee to act in favor Of increase in the
army. Congressman Julius Kahn, of Cali
fornia, who heads it, has declared for larger
force than any Of the public men who have dis
cussed our needs There will of course be diff
ference of opinion as to how this increased force
shall be raised, but upon it's necessity there
seems to be coming sensible agreement

Physicians the world over recon-

Of vastly more Importance than out

the pores in the ten yards Of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
OF limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means Of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary can
al before putting more food into the
stomach.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have a dull, aching head, sallow COM
plexion, acid stomach; others who
are subject to bilious attacks or con-
stipation, should obtain quarter
pound OF limestone phosphate at the

but is sufficient to demonstrate the

NEWSPAPER HEADLINES.

Headlines and headgear are equally indica.
tive of character and afford some basis for
Judging what the paper or person that flaunts
them is Some headlines screams-also
some headgears-and are attempts to shout the
news instead of telling it in quiet voice. Some
newspapers are like men who bawl the infor
nation into your with all their lung power
instead of quietly giving the facts. There are
newspapers in Chicago, one in particular that
comes to mind, that gives its commonplace
and often baseless misleading-news In
frantic shrieking of lurid type. Of course some
people like this They want the news roared at
them, beloved into their ears. Others want all
the facts told tersely, plainly, that they may
judge of their Importance for themselves. This
is not to disparage the one or praise the other
class of papers readers, but simply to show
that headlines do reveal character as said
above
It is not always easy to proportion the type
to the Importance of the news There are occa
sions when the stentorian fonts seem justified
by the momentousness of the event. Emphasis
within certain limits is permissible, desirable,
but not all persons agree as to what these limits
are. Yet the consensus of intelligent readers
is that extremes should be eschewed and that
