MRS. BECKER GIVES
9TH OF HER LECTURES
AT PALISADE CHURCH
Continued from Page l

social agitator first and then an ideal
| list
The lecturer next took up "The Face
of the World" which came out with
grand flourish of trumpets, started by
no less a person than John Galswor-
thy.
The hero in this book is doctor,
who is interesting because he is type
of certain agitator of today, all over
the world, reformer, working against
the liquor interests, a man who takes
more comfort in his indignation over
the wrongs of the world than joy over
the wrong made right, who first at
tempts to right the whole world and
at last tries to just help one poor crea-
ture at home
The book leaves one cup in the air.
at the end, with a sense of the futility
of life, and the lecturer suggested that
this was. after ALL real life, some of
the greatest lives of the world APP
parently ending with sense of futility
on the part of the idealists themselves,
but, after all, it was the dreams of
these men which permanently affected
the world
Mrs. Becker also took occasion TO
point out that, as in the case of the la
Dor agitator of the book, it is in reality
also such who are the alcoholic reform
ers usually and that social rebellion is
not the product of alcohol Social re-
formers know that the degradation
among the poor is always accompanied
by liquor and that the upper classes,
who have control of them, encourage
them in their liquor because it keeps
them in stupor and takes away the
spirit of resistance. 1t was not until
the vodka was taken away from the
Russians that, reduced to tea, which
upsets the nerves, they walked up and
started revolutions.
Mrs. Becker claimed to have met a
few anarchists, and all were temper
ate. In fact, at one of their resorts
everyone was drinking heavily of black
coffee in great cups. of which the most
fiery of them all drank four while orat-
ing, showing that black coffee will start
more revolutions than anything else.
In closing the lecturer made the
point that today in the close cOnnec-
| ton and rapid communication, as the

every time child suffers in Armenia
we know it. Everything tears at our
heartstrings. The 'face of the world
is always before us. you can't work
for Palisade without benetiting New
Jersey and through New Jersey the
whole United States, and the influence
spreads through all the United States
international relations" 1t is those
who have the largest aims who have a
sense of futility, and it is only the lit
tie souls who set out to do a little piece
have done what set out to do With

Aviators' Qualifications.

In England airmen were apt to be
ardent hunters of the fox and to have
what hOrsemen call ''hands"-a quality
which as aviators enabled them to
know instinctively, as it were, what
an airplane was going to do before
1t did it. And, what will be shocking
to some folk, to keep the aviator in
best condition for his work and for
enduring its terrible stresses, he SEEM
ed, according to these authorities, to
need "a really riotOus evening at
least once or twice a MONTH" The
older men were found to use alcohol
freely, but the younger ones required
no such stimulants. and they all avoid
ed excess, being well aware that for
them the penalty was sudden death.
Marriage deteriOrated the aviator by
increasing his sense of personal re-
sponsibility for others. Courage he
had, of course, and a touch of reck-
lessness is not undesirable from the
standpoint of achievement in war
Exchange.

he will be allowed to live until night.
Many Armenians have for a partner d
Turk merely as matter of protection,
the Turk drawing good salary, while
the Armenian does all the work.
Among the 500 massacred in DR..
COnstantien's town he escaped because
of his having lived in England and
having protection. He stated that no
Armenian is beggar, and of the
$4,000 ArmenianS in the United States
none begs, and the doctor does not like
to speak of Armenia's need. but unless
something is done quickly Armenia
will be wiped out.
The other day the memorial arch
was taken down in New York. But is
the war over when 100000 Armenians
have been maSSacred, not to mention
the hundreds of thousands dead of
starvation and when over 100000 of
the prettiest girls and women have
been dragged away into Turkish ha-
rems? Not Armenia, but western civil
lizatiOn, is on trial. We should be in
terested in saving orphans and more
interested in preventing more orphans.

Basket Ball Has
Caught Cliffside
High School Boys

The final and deciding game of the
High School was played on last Friday
evening in the gymnasium of that
school. 1t resulted in the defeat OF
the sophomore boys by the seniors in
the play-Off for the championship of the
school.
The gym, which is one of the largest
in Northern New Jersey, was packed
to capacity and the ardent rooters for
both teams were there in large num-
bers The seniors tok advantage of
this great opportunity in awaiting
themselves a fine clean-cut victory
over their rivals.
The evenings ceremonies began
when the Junior girls, the winner of
the Girls Interclass Tournament, play
ed team picked from the girls of the
freshman, sophomore and senior
classes. This game resulted in vic
tory for the junior girls.
The Misses Baumann and Drew at
center also played a good game for the
juniors but Helen ConrOy and Helen
Sikarsky for the picked team had the
better of the argument in the center
zone.
Immediately after this game all of
the seniors left the gymnasium and
presently the audience was spell
bound by the playing of music which
was none other than funeral march.
The senior class in single file crossed
the balcony and entered the gym from
a. hn
sion was led by Martin Stein, presi-
dent of the class. Then came six of
the class huskies carrying a coffin on
which was "SophOmOres o." 1t was
draped in green and white, the sOphs
colors. The seniors proceeded around
the gym to the center where they gave
some death ,yells to the soph's team.
They then opened the coffin and took
out of it the s0phs class banner and a
clay dogs head, both of which had dis
appeared from the wall the previous
afternoon There was then a lively
scrimmage between the sOphs and the
seniors.
Then the court was cleared and both
teams had some practice before the
game began.
When the game opened, Vanderbach
at center for the seniors, tapped the
ball to Mazzei who passed it to Cor
riston, who imediately sank it thus
giving the seniors points before the
game was minute old. Then the
seniors began to work like beavers to
keep the sophs on a defensive game.
1t seemed as though the scorers would
have to use another scOresheet the
way the seniors were ringing the bas-
kets. Password, with which the
sophs were to overwhelm the seniors,
was wonderfully displayed, but not by
the sOphomores-the seniors were us
ing it.
The soph players were bewildered
by the splendid playing of the seniors
who had displayed SO much individual
work in the other games of the tour
nament, but on Friday evening this
was not evident. The man. that was
clear received the ball to shoot for
the baskets. At half time the score
was "a to 8 favor the seniors.
In the second half both teams played
splendid basketball. Although the
sophs had the most points, they made
10 while the seniors made g. ending
score, 80 to Is, favor of the seniors.
