How far can a crocodile swim? Per

ask how far crocodiles do swim? j.
Stanley Gardiner claims the record
for crocodile (Crocodilus porosus)
that recently landed in the Fiji is
lands, where he took its photograph.
No crocodiles of this species inhabit
the Fiji islands, and the nearest spot
where they are known to live is the
New Hebrides, 6S3 miles distant.
Therefore, this crocodile must have

Ford May Operate
 Technical School

Henry Ford has announced his inten- tion to open technical college in De- troit. It will be known as the Ford Institute. of Technology, and its curri- culum will embrace those subjects which lead to degrees in mechanical electrical and chemial engineering. Out standing, is MT. Fords decision to grant monetary scholarships to all stu dents; freshmen will receive scholar ships of approximately $20.00 a week Rates for ad1 anced students have not yet been announced.
 Like all Ford ventures, the Ford In- stitute presents it's own deviation from customary systems. The school year is divided into two parts, half of the time
 being spent in class, lecture rooms and laboratories, and half in the shops do-
 ing actual work under actual working conditions. This regimen is so divided that the students work alternates every
 two weeks.
 The reason for this class to- shop and
 shop to-class method is given ill the school announcement: The Ford In- stitute of Technology proposes to give that education which is life, directed by purpose, in order that there need be no period of adjustment after graduation. 1 Theoretical work is supplemented by experience in practice, and by contact with actual conditions in life. Com mercial standards relative to methods
 and cost of manufacture, shop organi- 1 zation, accuracy, production, and time,
 are stressed
 The laboratory at the disposal of students" continues the Ford announce ment," includes the Highland Park plant, the tractor plant and blast fur naces at River Rouge, a railroad, a
 mine, a lumber camp. and many sub sidiary operations. Every phase of en- gineering is covered, not a meager equipment for demonstration and ex- perimental purposes, but by millions of dollars worth of machinery and ap- paratus-all the latest word in scien- | tific development
 Although the Ford Technical Insti- | tute was announced but a short time
 ago, more than 1000 applications have already been received. Every state in the union has had its applicant; and
 many letters have come from Canada. Henry Ford is taking a personal in- l terest in the new school

Enthused Tourist
 Calls On Tire Men

When an automobile owner makes 1t a point to call on the distributor of the tires which he has on his car, to tell him about the wonderful service re- ceived from them, it is a pretty good indication of the real merit in the tires.
 This happened last week, when w. D. Morten, a prominent stock broker of New York, who with his family is tour ing the country is a big Stevens Dur yea, called on the Leon Jones Tire com.
 pany, local distributors of Ajax tires.
 MT. Morton left New York, went to Canada, thence to Detroit, Chicago. Kansas City and St. Louis, and came west from there across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
 He still has the original air in his tires with which he left New, York. He describes the roads, for the most part, as fierce" The Stevens -Durvea is equipped with Ajax cords, and these
 tires show very little wear as a result of their strenuous trip across the country.

HOME ECONOMICS
HOLDS FOOD SALE.

The food sale given under the auspices
of the home economics department of
the WOman's Club of Cliffside Park
last Thursday afternoon was success,
financially and socially. The affair
was at the home of Mrs. G. r. Thayer
and attracted a good crowd of club
members and their friends, who enjoy
ed a social time around the tea table,
over which Mrs. J. Scott, the chairman
of the department, presided, The ar
ray of good things rapidly disappear
ed, and much more could have been
sold, for the supply did not equal the
demand although the members gave
literally, but food sales seem always
to be popular.
The proceeds from the food table,
about $40, were, as is usual with this
annual sale, devoted to the clubhouse
fund and those from the tea table,
about 50, were for the Armenian relief
fund which the club is collecting.
Mrs. C. Mileham of Grantwood was
the chairman of arrangements.

Complimentary and
Surprise to Mrs.

A charming and wholly successful
surprise was given to Mrs George

/ the members of the Bridge Club OF
Cliffside entertained her at luncheon
at the home of Mrs. Philip Brundage
wife of DR. Brundage of Lincoln ave

sold her home in GrantwoOd and has
bought one in Metuchen, is an active
been IA prominent resident of the Dor.
ough for many years, so is going to
be much missed when she leaves, the
end of this month.
The members of the club met at the
home of Mrs. John Koch, next door
to Mrs. Brundage and went in body
to the hostess house, greatly surpris-
ing the guest of honor, who was invit-
ed, ostensibly to lunch with Mrs Brun-
dage and Mrs George Blake, who is
not only an Old friend but also a for
mer resident for years of Cliffside Park
and just returned, with her family, in
the last few days to her home in the
Edgewater Heights. section.
The luncheon was delicious, and at
the table each guest gave a toast to
the guest of honor, saying all sorts of
complimentary things and expressing
regrets at her departure
Both sides of the picture We're
drawn by the coming and going old
residents, Mrs Drew expressing her
great regret in leaving the many and
dear friends and assOciatiOns and Mrs.
Blake at various times declaring her
great satisfaction in being back among
the old friends and the many social and
other activities of Cliffside Park,
which, she said, is unique among other
suburbs in its independence among the
social conventions and its many activi-
ties.
Another surprise was rendered Mrs.

joyable close, for each member, who

Mrs. Becker Talks
Plays With Both
Wit and Sparkle

The seventh of Mrs Becker's lee
lures at Palisade was given last week
at the Palisade Union Church to an
interested audience of women, under
the auspices of the Palisade Woman's
Club.
Mrs. Becker took for her subject the
plays of the day, expressing her feeling
that they were an unusually good col
lection, and briefly reviewing the for
eign plays.
These, she said, had been produced
with singularly good taste and receiv-
ed with unusually good understanding
by the audiences, whether the plays
were French or English. In fact, they
were received by the American people
better than they We're by the foreigners
themselves, as in East Is West"
which has been severely criticised by
the Chinese themselves, and they made
an organized protest when there was a
movement to take it to England
She reviewed 'Declassee," asking
the question. "What is it that makes
woman "declasse?" Not divorce nor
having been divorced apparently, nor
even being guilty of certain moral
lapses or suspected of moral lapses,
but it would seem to be when the cir
Gle in which the woman moves first be-
gins to decide that she is receiving
money for such moral lapses AS soon
as money enters. as soon as the wom-
an sells herself, as in Lady Helen,
then she is cast out of her class.
Mrs Becker's definition of comedy
is lone that can easily be made trag-
edy just by shifting peg" She feels
that people really do not like problem
plays. "They do not go to the theater
to see their experiences confirmed. but
to see them Denied" so they prefer the
unlikely, and plays are judged by the
majority, not from a dramatic status,
but as to whether they please, and
they are judged by their surroundings,
as a man is judged by his wife, his
children, his clothes, his home, every
thing external. The only time we
judge man intrinsically for just him
self is in the brief period after the
declaration of peace, while he is still
in his uniform, being entertained by
us.
The bright lecturers witty and to
the point remarks are always very
much enjoyed by her audiences who
at the same time gain an intelligent
impression of the book or plays of the
day.
Mrs. Pennell, the president of the
Woman's Club of Palisade, announced
that the next lecture would be on the
usual date, Friday.

$11, full sized quilt made of good ma
terial and well sewed.

siOnary society, and the various reports
were given. Mrs. Leeger has taken
charge of the kitchen committee.
In response to the desire of the trus-
tees of the church the women voted to
aid them with the finances by assum-
ing the payment of $3.50. and the treas
urer was directed to pay 500 imme-
diately. The remainder will be grad
ually paid off.
A rummage sale is planned, to be
held on May ~ and 13 in Cliffside, the

evening, the voluntary offering at
which reached the fine sum of $25 in
