HER BEAUTY
WAS FATAL"
So Eeclares Erring Wife in Let
fer and Paterson Man Will
Get Divorce.

Paterson, Mar. 4.-"My fatal beauty
was the curse that beckoned her from
the path of a true and dutiful wife,
wrote Anita f. McGlade, runaway wife
of local eX-service man, and later the
pampered doll of a millionaire Oil spec
ulatOr of Gary, Ind.
Yesterday the letter that she wrote
in this city was used against the wife
in the hearing ON the petition for di-
vOrce of her husband, James w. Nc
Glade of 24O Straight street, before
Francis Scott, acting as a special mas
ter in chancery.
McGlade was one of the old Fifth
boys who went away in 1917 to Annis-
ton, Ala, and afterward saw service in
the Argonne, in France. The year be-
fore he enlisted his wife, an exception
ally pretty girl and noted among her
friends for her remarkable beauty, had
suddenly disappeared, leaving behind
their twO-year-old son. A fruitless
search on the part of the husband re-
suited, and he left for the war without
having heard word from her.
In letter received by her grand
mother was a pathetic appeal, telling
that her "beauty was fatal" how the
attentions of men had turned her head,
and her good looks proved to be Diet
riment to her being a good wife. She
ended with the statement that she
hoped her life could be used as an
example to other girls of good looks to
take heed.
AT the close of the hearing yester-
day Judge Scott recommended decree
of absolute divorce for the husband
and awarded him the custody of the
child, James Elmer, who will be six
years old in June. Jacob Van Der
Clock represented the husband as coun-
sci in the divorce suit

Inter-Class Games
Arouse Interest
At Cliffside High

The interclass games started on
Thursday afternoon, when the senior
and junior teams, boys and girls,
clashed in two good games of basket
ball. Last year the girls and boys of
the class of 20 won their numerals by
going through the tournament without
sustaining any defeats.
On Thursday afternoon the Junior
girls defeated the senior girls. This
was the first defeat sustained by the
senior girls in their four years at the
High, having won the tournament in
their freshman, sophomore and junior
years. 1t was an overwhelming defeat,
the score being 40 to 4.
In the second game of the day the
senior boys easily defeated the junior
boys. Twelve boys played on the SEN
Tor team, thus giving number of SEN
iors chance to win their numerals if
their class team wins the tournament.

Fort Lee Teachers
Get $500 Raise;
High Sch'l Not Yet

AT the annual meeting held last
week in Whitman street school, Fort
Lee, there was large attendance. V.
B. Kelly, of Palisade, acted as chair
man, Lester Burdett, of Palisade, be-
ing secretary. Joseph Cook, Edward
Kaufer and Walter Oettel were re-
elected on the board. A sum of $14,-
600 was voted for increased pay to
teachers, being about $500 per teacher.
The current expenses are to be $4,000
for teachers, repairs $1,000, and ST.
500 for manual training.
There were several lively speeches
during the evening. Mr.. Kelly deplor-
ed the fact that the Palisade site was
not voted on at a former meeting, but
John c. Abbott, Jr., secretary of the
board, said the members had discre-
tionary rights on submitting sites; and
the Palisade property was too far
south to be regarded seriously. Other
speeches were made by Nicholas Bag
liughi, James D. Moore and others.
and deplored many Objectionable
things connected with building high
schools at this time, the cost being the
main trouble. He later suggested
combination high school for Fort Lee,
Edgewater and Palisade at Palisade
junction, convenient to all. Mr.. Kelly
thought this, which had been previous
ly talked of, would not be adequate.
William J. Mahoney said that owing to
the tax rate being close to 81 per
500 this year, he thought high school
building might well be postponed for
the present. Mr.. Moore said the bur-
dens of other nearby boroughs on ac-
count of high schools We're greater
than the tax payers liked. The best
thing of the meeting was the voting
of $500 to the teachers.

BOTH C. p. n. S. BOYS

The games on Monday afternoon be-
tween the St Michael's teams and the
C. =. H. S. boys, both came out as pre-
dicted by MessrS. Stien and CorriStOn,
the Cliffside managers. The varsity
defeated them 46 to 10, while the sec
onds swamped the Saints reserves by
the large score of 40 TO 3.
The Cliffside teams played in their
best form, as the scores indicate. The
varsity, which had been defeated by
the Saints ON Lincoln's birthday, made
successful comeback, and Capone,
the star forward of st. MichaelS, had
to try to guard Martens, the spry c.
p. H. S. guard.
While the reserves continued Win
ming when they easily defeated the
Saints, the reserves had good basket
shooting practice and had signal prac-
tice. Houk, as usual, made the most
points for Cliffside, while Corriston
again was the runner up. The rest of
the local boys also played a fine game.
The score at half time was Is to l.

Varsity Five Win;
Girls Lose to the
Hackensackers

On Saturday afternoon at the local
High School the varsity teams play
ing against Hackensack had a fifty
fifty day. The boys defeated the Wis
itors 81 to 10, while the girls were de-
feated % to IS.
Both games proved to be exciting.
1t was an unlucky day for Dorothy
Horton, the c. P. H. S. girl foul shoot
er missing many free shots from the
fifteen-foot line. 1t was due to this
that the girls lost the game.
The boys got the jump right off the
reel, and their signals as well as their
plays were eXcellently played. Sew

in the eighth. There are adolescents
in every class grade above the third
and their presence is a strong argu-
ment for special class. The average
child is eliminated soon after he
reaches the sixth grade.
During the past year the task has
been undertaken of regarding the pu-
pills so that semi-annual promotion of
pupils could be effected.
The new system of grading uses only
five marks and no pupil will be certi-
fed for any college without examina-
ton unless he has made a general
average of at least 8 in all studies and
not lower than in any one subject.
one of the most important changes
in the organization of the school be-
came effective on September l, 1919,
when the high school principal became
non-teaching, as the duties of admin
istration and supervision are sufficient
to fully occupy the time of one person,
and, beginning February l, a change
was made so that the principals only
taught one-half their time, devOting the
other half to the supervision of their
buildings. In September, 1918, Mrs.
McCulloch was engaged as supervisor
of music and the pupils have been
given sight reading. Daily singing has
been an important part in the school

organized. glee clubs formed and a.

while the Republicans shimmied and
pussyfooted But the Democrats in
making up their slate for the big four
to go to San Francisco overlooked one
important point. They made the dele
cation strongly wet and the State
Committee gave them final instruc-
lions on that topic Monday, but they
overlooked the suffragists (unlike
their New York brothers) and divided
the delegation on that subject by put
ting Big jim Nugent on it.
NOW, 1 would suggest the Repub-
licans rectify this error by sending a
wet United States senator and dry
United States senator to the Chicago
convention and that their colleagues
be suffragist like Mrs. Feikert and
an anti-suffragist such as Miss Clara
Vein. But l forgot in giving the wo-
men suffrage Governor Edwards and
the Democrats and their Republican
allies forgot to provide the machinery
for the women to vote, so / am afraid
that there will be no provision on the

'The people will demand moderate
beer and light wines the same as they
do cigars and cigarettes. They will
agree that there should be strong re-
straint on whisky and brandy, but will
demand them for medicinal purposes
the same as they do morphine and
opium. The old-time saloon, l think,
is gone, but, there is an insistent de-
mand for substitute conducted on a
higher plane which would involve high
license and strict regulation to pre-
vent the abuse of the privilege to
serve the public with something that
it wants."

In Scathing Statement Frank Patterson Jr of Camden

Trenton, March 3. - Asserting that

while Governor Edwards put through
his campaign pledges for woman suf-

Patterson, Jr., county clerk of Cam

Baird, issued a statement today fiay-
ing his fellow Republicans. He said
that they should go a step further and
provide coalition ticket in the shape
OF a "Big Four" delegation to repre-
sent the organization in the choice of
a presidential candidate. Patterson's
statement follows:
''NOw that the Republicans of the
legislature have carried out the cam
paign pledges of Governor Edwards
in giving the women suffrage and the
people the seemingly much desired 3R
per cent beer, they should go one step
further and provide coalition ticket

''TO paraphrase the immortal Lin
coin, l cannot see how the Republican
party can long remain party half

United. States senator's seem to think
that I'll can. While both favored uni

one dry despite the utterance of the
party state platform on these sub

$40 Per Month Is
Granted by N. J. to
Former Service Men

Trenton, March BY vote of 40
to o, the Wallworth bonus bill passed
the house of assembly yesterday after
noon. Five members of the assembly
who had been in the service during
the World War voted for the measure.
Under its provisions former service
men will receive $40 per month for
each month or fraction thereof with
the colors, and not more than 500.
1t is expected that bond issue of
about S12,OO0000 will be required to
finance the payment of former sol
diers, sailors and marines. The people
will be given opportunity to either APP
prove Or reject the bonus plan at the
general election next November. If the
people aratify it, the same becomes
effective December 1 next.
The bill was introduced by Assem-
blyman Joseph F. Wallworth, Republi-
can. of Camden. 1t was amended,
however, so that instead of becoming
effective on July 4, 1921, it takes effect
on December 1. 1920.
ASSemDlyman Donovan OF Hudson
had a fiat 500 bonus bill introduced,
but the Democrats decided to support
the Wallworth bill to get speedy ac
ton.
Before the vote was taken Assem-
bylman Heinzman declared that the
maximum payment should not be linn
tied to 500. He pointed out that the
government had granted "swivelchair
PATRIOTS who held down jobs in ship
yards, bonus of $40.

Mrs. Becker Talks
On Anatole France
To Palisade Club

To an audience of interested hear
ers from several boroughs Mrs. May
Lamberton Becker gave her lecture
on Friday afternoon at the Union
Church of Palisade under the auspices
of the Palisade Womans Club, her
subject being "AnatOle France"
Mrs. Becker has evidently great adj
miration for this celebrated French
author, and she began her talk with
the remark that in contemplating the
many works of the French author she
felt the time was too short to consider
his surprising genius and would con-
slider only a few of his books, though
if any one desired her to take up one
which she might leave out she would
be glad to give it some attention. In
inquiring of those whom she met while
in France as to who was the repre-
sentative writer in France at the pres
ent day she was met with the answer
always, "AnatOle France" 1t had
seemed to her that after August, 1914,
this authors popularity would have
waned, for that date marked a time
of action, and AnatOle France is not
an author of action, but of contempla
ton.
That was time when what you did
was the thing, and the thing for you
to do was to shoulder musket. 1t
was a time for seriousness, and
Anatole France was a satirist, carl
caturist, almost a Socialist, with no
love for a military glory, or any glory,
or for war; Then, when it seemed
that his star had set, he wrote to the
minister of war:
II understand that my style of writ
ing is not one for the present time,
but I am too old to change my style,
and my legs, l fear, are too old to
make me a marching soldier, but one
thing can do, l can drive car, and
if you will put me in a French uni
form l will drive a car and serve my
country"
In that letter he gained all the pop
ularity he had lost, and, though he did
not drive the car, he served at desk
work and wrote propaganda, though
his propaganda writing was not very
successful, for it was too perfunctory
he could not write to order.
