PATENT OFFICE BUSY PLACE
Last Year Broke Al Records In the

Last year was record year In vol

plications for patents reaching the

the unprecedented number Of 10000,

pend during the war, but. at least in
volume of production. 1t diminished.
And a great proportion of that which
did function related to war objects.
But at noon on November IL, 1918. the
great war became as ancient to the in
ventor as the Peloponnesian conflicts
of long ago.
In October, 1919, there reached the
division of the patent Office handling
metallurgical inventions total of 662
applications for patents. In one divi-
sion handling chemical subjects-rhere
are several chemical divisiOns-489
applications were filed; in the agricul-
tural implement division. 354 applica-
lions arrived; and the division dealing
with vehicle wheels and such appurte-
nances received 100 applications, about
one-half of which related to resilient
tires. This last item discloses the fact
that inventions for the automobile In
dustry best reflect the current work Of
the patent office.

MRS. A. NJ. Killing DIES.

Mrs. Adelaide, Nelson King, of An
derson avenue, Palisade, died in the
nighttime of March IS around the
midnight hour She had pneumonia
for, only five days. She took a cold
from over exposure after walking on
her front porch which she frequently
did for fresh air, this seeming to be a
constant demand with her.
Mrs. King was the widow of the
late Abram r.. King, well known and
popular attorney of New York city.
She was born in Brooklyn about
seventy-three or four years ago. She
owned another fine residence in Plain
field in addition to her home in Pail
SADIE. Her nephew, Mr. Leighton Har-
ing Smith, lived with his aunt and will
be beneficiary in her will, which has
not yet been probated
Mrs. King was an Episcopalian and
devoted Christian, being in her
earlier days active in church work.
She had many friends in Palisade who
admired her for her always cheerful
and graciously kind spirit and friendly

Clifside Defeats
Union Hill High
In Popular Debate

A large and enthusiastic audience
journeyed to Union Hill Friday eve
ming, March 10, and heard the Cliffside
High School debating team defeat the
Union Hill team at the latter's audi
forum on the question: "Resolved:
That the United States Should Estab-
lish Protectorate Over Mexico Simf-
lar to That Over Cuba
Cliffside defended the affirmative
while Union Hill unsuccessfully at
policy would not eradicate the difficult
Mexican problem.
Esther Becker the first speaker of
the affirmative held the large audience
spellbound as she clearly enuncated
the proposition advanced by her side
and proceeded to define and explain
the terms involved.
Her presentation was most effective
and clearly indicated careful thought
and thorough understanding Martin
Stein the second speaker of the affirm
alive spoke with a certain ease and
grace which might well be model
for far more experienced takers. He
presented the greatest strength of the
almost invulnerable affirmative de-
Tense.
Albert Van Dusen, the last speaker
of Cliffside, was perhaps the real
parliamentarian of the evening. Not
only did he clinch the arguments of
his colleagues but his summary was
masterful presentation of logical rea-
soning 1t was he who handled the
rebuttal for his side and his ability
to pick out the faulty reasoning and
refuse the weak argument of the OPP
ponents contributed largely to Cliff
sides victory.
On the other hand Union Hill lacked
the polish and finish Of the smaller
schools team and suffered greatly in
comparison with the trained and well
prepared proponents of the affirmative
proposition. At times the home team
seemed lost and had frequent recourse
to their much used notes to refresh
their memory while Cliffside, never
hesitating, spoke with sincerity and
eloquence and won the admiration of
the entire house. Mr.. Joseph A. Pres
tin coached the Cliffside team and
might we'll be proud of the excellent
exhibition presented by his charges for
the entire team without exception
plainly demonstrated the effects of his
careful direction. While the glory is
primarily Cliffside Parks, Mr.. Prestin
is surely entitled to large share of
credit.
The judges for the debate were
Superintendent Austin H. Updyke,
Professor A. Herbert Adley, Principal
George N. Venables. The teams were:
Cliffside: Esther Becker, Martin
Stein, Albert Van Dusen. Union Hill:
Esther Olsen, Robert Langenbacher
and Croydon Rhodes. Alternates:
Cliffside: Grin Carpenter. Union Hill;

AROUND THE WORLD IN

This is not the wild dream of a SUI

by Andre Michelin today of what may
be expected from aviation within the
next few years. NJ Michelin, who is
the newly elected president OF
the Aero Club of France, said: This
is not romantic dream. We are only
in the infancy of aviation. In few
years $50 miles an hour will be the
normal rate of travel. Any aviator of
average ability will be able to travel
5000 or 1000 miles without a stop.
New York will be u hours from Paris.

RELIEF WORK FOR CARLISLE
FL0ODtvICTIMS.

Inclement weather since the flood
on Friday night has retarded relief
work in the devastated district at
Carlisle. Citizens who escaped the
food are. lending all aid possible. A
mass meeting was held in the Ma
sonic Temple, at which time an or
ganization was perfected for the
purpose of raising funds by which
can be purchased bedding, clothing
and food for at least fifty families
whose restitution is apparent.
This organization is to be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
Carlisle Red Cross chapter, and any
person who cares to lend aid can
send their donations in care of the
Carlisle Red Cross.
That portion of Carlisle visited
by the food is inhabited by the
laboring class, which makes it more
necessary for charity work. Up tc
the present time as much as $4,000
has been raised and donations are
coming in from many cities and
towns of the State.
Fully 5000 persons have visited
Carlisle from a radius of fifty miles.
