Gov. Lowden, OF Illinois, has been
formally requested by a committee,
representing the city council, sey-
eral tenants associations Of Chi
cago. and by others to convene the
State legislature in special session
to enact legislation TO curb rent
profiteering in Illinois. At the con
ference the Chicago Real Estate
Board, the Cook County Real Estate
Board and the Chicago Association
Of Commerce We're represented.
Gov. Lowden was not taken uu-
awares He had been studying the
subject. He Is quoted as saying:
The attorney general has been
searching for the last two years for

looked in vain. Relief laws passed

BOYS BAND AGAIN.

People are enthusiastic about the
Boys Band! This was evident on
Thursday evening by the crowds who
came to witness the double header
basketball game played in the audito-
rum of the Whiteman street school.
The hall was capacity filed and that
is saying some for such a night. The
first game was played between the
Arrows Of Fort Lee and the Million
aires Club of Grantwood. The score
was % to 5 in favor of the Arrows.
The Breyer brothers of Fort Lee made
most of the baskets in first half, and
the Christoff brothers were close
second in the last half. The Camels
of New York were scheduled to play
the Universal Five, did not put in an
appearance, so Bill Corker, the ref
cree announced that the Universal
Five would play against the Unknown
Five. The game was played with lots
of pep and good team work. The Uni
versals lost to the Unknown, the score
being A to 90. After the games
dancing was enjoyed, as it always is
when Weber, McKenna and Benedict
furnish the music. The net profits
will go towards the Boys Band.

BOYS BASKETBALL.

The boys were not as fortunate as
the girls, during the past week. They
lost two games and won one. The
Ridgewood boys defeated them on last
Wednesday at Ridgewood in close
game.
On Saturday evening they easily de-
feated Leonia, one of their main rivals
at G. Z. III. s. This game was origi-
nally scheduled to be played at Leonia
but it was changed to Cliffside and the
game scheduled to be played at G. P.
H. S. will be played at Leonia.
A large delegation of over a hundred
rooters accompanied the LeOnia team.
And a fine exhibition of craftsmanship
was shown by the rooters for both
teams.
Dancing was enjoyed between halves
and after the games. Music was fur
nished by the Cliffside High School
orchestra.
On Wednesday evening the Passaic
team came to G. p. H. S. and defeated
the boys decisively, the score being
81 ito 10. Passaic has the best team
that the writer has seen in action this
year. They have very good password
and all Of them have an eye like an
eagle.

ing and preparation Of which Mr..
Arnold speaks is shown to be dis
tinctly urgent when Prof. Middleton
Smiths views on the use of airplanes
to China are known. China is land
of waterways. and these waterways
afford the necessary existing lines of
transportation along which, to secure
the success of commercial aviation,
airdromes and supply depots should
be established. Schools of technical
training should supply the necessary
Chinese skilled labor, and with these
aerial services established, Professor
Smith foresees such an incalculable
increase in the rapidity of communities
tions as completely to revolutionize
the country internally and add to its
deep Importance as a world factor.

Sense Of Taste.

The sensation Of taste, while Of
common and constant experience. Is
highly complicated In its nature.
What Is commonly called taste is
not simple sensation at all, but rath-
er complex. In addition to the act
ual functioning Of the apparatus prop
erly pertaining to the sense of taste,
the tongue receives impressions of va
rious other sorts, all Of which go to
make up this complex. As finally re-
corded In the consciousness, the taste
of any substance has to do with its
heat or GOODNESS, perhaps with a mild
amount Of pain, certainly with astrin-
gency or acidity-which are in them
selves further completes of thermic
and tactile sensations-and above all
with smell. The reader will probably
agree that Ice cream and coffee are en-
tirely different from their true selves
when served at inopportune tempera-
lures; and IL is matter of record that
a person of the keenest taste may
make the most ludicrous errors II
asked, blindfolded and with his nose
stopped, to identify substances placed
In his mouth.

other victory to their string on Tues

resentatives would bring the bacon to
Grantwood by winning the lightweight
championship of Bergen county, hav-
ing won many games up to that time.
