FoRD's NEW TRACK CAR.


The latest and most valuable piece
Ford has invented a car driven by gas
oline or alcohol, as desired, to run on
tracks the same as our steam trains
and trolley cars today. Mr. Ford
should have perfected this long ago.
Several years back, some ten or more
perhaps, there was published long
story of q new departure by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company 1t was
about to assume control of a railway
line straight from Philadelphia TO Bos-
ton, on which would be run passenger
trains propelled by automobile engines,
the distance, some 800 miles, to be COW
cred in three hours. That would not
have been such an impossible perform
ance as things have since then develop
ed. Several motive powers have sent
machines along over the ground or
through the air at considerably more
than 100 miles per hour, and even the
Pennsylvania company was sending
trains over stretches of its lines be-
tween New York and Philadelphia at
the rate of 50 or 80 miles an hour. And
perhaps they are doing the same thing
today. 1t would not require any great
stretch of the imagination TO have
trains going 100 miles an hour.
Mr.. Ford has now challenged the
Michigan Central to test of speed be-
tween Detroit and Chicago with his
newly developed auto-engine car, and
it would surprise no one to see him
win out. He has new plan for eX-
tracing alcohol from straw, he says,
so that the scarcity of gasoline appears
not to disturb him in the least The
war developed the greatest efficiency
from alcohol of any form of fuel used
in airplane service. Success to Mr..
Ford in making practical an old idea
already developed,

SUGGESTION FOR EDITORIAL.

To the Editorial Writers of America:
Your aid is earnestly requested in
bringing before the American people
two things which are essential factors
in strengthening our national financial
situation and in promoting individual
prosperity:
First.-It is highly important that
the millions of people who bought gov
eminent securities during the war
should be shown the wisdom of hold
ing them until maturity wherever pos
sible and the folly of disposing of them
below the market price or in exchange
for speculative stocks.
Second.-It is most desirable that
there be an everincreasing number who
invest regularly in government securi-
ties of whatever type suits their re-
quirements-25 cent thrift stamps, 50
war savings stamps, 500 and $1,000
treasury savings certificates, Liberty
bonds and Victory notes.
Our people must be neither misery
nor spendthrift if we are to develop
the greatest national strength. We
must cultivate habits of care in the
use of money; we must learn the prin-
ciples of intelligent investment, the
power of reserve funds, the freedom
which comes with fulfilled financial
obligations.
These things the treasury savings
movement is endeavoring to bring be-
fore the public through the widespread
distribution of government securities
1t is generally agreed that the press is
the most effective agency for inform
ing the people about any important
matter. Hence the treasury depart
ment has counted largely on the power
of the press in promoting the savings
movement. The response has always
been prompt and the influence i'm
measurable. In carrying on the move
ment in 1920 we are confident the
most widespread impetus would be CIV
en- to our efforts to hold those who are
already partners in the government en-
terprise and largely to increase the
number if an editorial on this subject
would appear in every paper in the
United States. Will you be good
enough, therefore, TO prepare such an
editorial for publication in your pa
per?
l can think of no single act which
would do more than this to secure uni
versal thought leading to the strength
ening- of the national and individual
financial situation. Sincerely yours,
(Signed) CARTER GLASS.

GIVE US THE TREATY.

Seven months have now passed since
the peace treaty and the League of
Nations came up for consideration in
the United States Senate. Up TO this
time nothing has been done towards
reaching an agreement as to the best
means of acceptance. The public has
grown tired of the long, miserable dis
play of petty politics, and from every
quarter of the country appeals have
been sent in for ratification. 1t would
appear nothing more than natural and
simple for these public representatives
TO go ahead and carry out the wishes
of the people. But, they say. we do
not know that the people will be salts
fed we are the politicians, and we
are in position to know what is best
for the country. Besides, we are here
for the purpose of getting the best re-
suits, and that's what we are after
What they really are after is party
advantage, and both sides are equally
determined, apparently, TO hold rigidly
TO party principles. President Wilson.
if he is right, is maintaining the one
point of value, and that is that if the
reservations destroy the meaning of
the League of Nations it will not be
wise to accept il. Senator Lodge says

WATER LILIES FOOD
Seeds and Tubers Make Good
Stew With Meat.
Dr.. M. G. Gilmore Learns From In.
dlans Of Valuable Food Supply
Left Untouched.

Bismarck, N. D.-TOns Of food lie
peacefully undisturbed in the hum
dreds Of acres of water lilies through.
out the United States. according to DR..
Melvin G. Gilmore, curator Of the
North Dakota Historical society, who
Is engaged IN research work covering
North America to determine the posi-
bilities Of native products.
AS a result Of the first stage Of his
inquiry. findings Of which were pub
lished recently in the thirty-third an
nual report of the American bureau Of
ethnology, DR.. Gilmore declares devel-
opment of Americas wild plant life
has been practically nil.
I'm the 300 years that the white
man has dominated the western hemi-
sphere" the scientist asserts, "he has
not reduced to cultivation from wild
stock single natural species except
to bring under semi-domestication the
pecan and certain grapes Of the east"
In connection with this assertion,
DIR. Gilmore quotes the United States
ShoP iOpOAI loI 4OlO dS giving value
of 100000 to crops of this country
alone grown from plants first brought
under cultivation by the Indians.
He sees the greatest possibilities for
advancement in this direction in wild
fruits, nuts and roots. An instance Is
1nd IN the "Nelumbo" type Of water
N hourishing largely in the ponds Of
the east and central west. The seeds
and the tubers Of this species are
good food, DIR. Gilmore declares, and
make good stew when used with meat,
particularly beef. Such stew was orig
fnally concocted by the Indians, as
were many other dishes which. it is
said. could be economically adopted
today.
"These uses of wild plants are no
longer experimental" the Investigator
says. eve could have learned all
about them from the Indians, but we
didn't go to them and inquire.
Il have spent a number Of years
among them trying to learn more Of
their habits of domestication and mean
to continue the work while the older
of the tribesmen still live to hand
down these lessons"

SPlRITUAllSM.

In an age that invented wireless teleg-
raphy and discovered radio-activity, it
would be foolish TO deny the possible
existence of many forces as yet un-
known to mankind Tables may turn,
voices may speak, the ouija board may
spell out its messages in obedience to
commands we cannot fathom. But
don't let us look for wishing rings that
have passed beyond the grave
Spiritualism is like radium in that
Investigators should be properly equip
ped to handle il. Without careful pre-
cautions, radium experiments result in
painful deaths from cancer. Whoever
touches spiritualism should cling to a
we'll balanced temperament to escape
mental disaster
We know little about death. But we
know it has a depressing mental effect
upon the living. Therefore, whoever
tries To analyze death should be wary.
Experiments in spiritualiSm are labora-
tory studies of death. The sting is
there. Caution and prudence are nee
essary.
To expect infallible advice from a
spirit world is TO reduce spiritualism 10
the level of savage rites. Civilization
wants neither charms nor taliSmans.
There can be no freedom in world
directed by spirits. Humanity ever
yearns for freedom. Humanity will re-
ject any belief that makes us manni-
kinS obedient to the announcements of
spirit mediums.
The baby just learning TO walk. re
fuSing its mothers help, is the embodi-
ment of humanity's true spirit.
The baby wants to find out for itself.

BIT o. GOOD NATURE.

An observing person can often learn
a heap through watching the work
ings of smile and bit of good
nature. TO say the least, they work
well together. For instance
A mere slip of girl was hopping
along, hanging on to her mothers
hand. The child clutched tightly, with
her other hand, to bag of candy. Sc
tightly-in fact-that said candy
broke it's way out and fell to the side
walk.
The child gaZed at the candy and
then looked up at her mother And
there were large tears trying to force
their why out of the corner of the
little ones eyes. And then mother
smiled.
Mother followed this closely with
well get another bag sister," She
wasn't the sort of mother to scold
the child for an accident.
And, believe us, the child wasn't
the sort of child who couldn't hold the
tears back.
Smiles and good nature had done
their work well.

TOO THIN.

Habit, deep set, is hard to eradicate
For a great many years the United
States Weather Bureau, when it has
paid any attention to the subject at
all, has tried to discourage the idea
that if the grounding sees his shadow
on February 2, Candlemas day, there
is sure to be six additional weeks of
cold weather. And if he does not, then,
of course, there will be an early spring
Buncombe, the Weather Bureau
says. The grounding has other things
to do and other plans than to fool
around waiting for the arrival of the
I'd of February. In his natural state
the grounding is a alternating animal,
and the chances are very strong that
on February he is snoring the time
away in the long snooze that will not
come to an end until the warm rays
of the spring sun tell him that it is
time to get up and go out and rustic
something to eat.
But the Weather Bureau knows ii
has hard job ahead of it in trying
to convince the grounding weather
advocate that his is not the infallible
method of cold weather prognostica-
ton.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1920.
KILLING THE HIGH SCHOOL.

At the school election held on We'd
nesday evening in Fort Lee on the
question of the new high school the
public vote was against the enterprise.
The vote was 115 against, 81 for the
school. Thus it will be seen that a
change of 10 votes would have made
the result the other way. 1t is most
regrettable, too, for the borough never
needed anything as much as it needs
fine, modern high school. The pres
ent high school arrangements are most
inadequate, and besides, the borough
is losing the benefit of advertising that
would accrue from such an institution,
besides other advantages that would
logically follow.
The objections raised against the
new high school were scarcely valid
The times may be little disadvan-
tageous on account of the prevailing
high prices of everything. But when
will they be lower? 1t may be when
the present crop of high school chill
dren are grown men and women.
Where there could be one reason
against the high school there are ten
in favor of it. OF course, petty poll
tics had to play its part in this little
drama. 1t always does. But what con-
ISOLATION anyone can find in opposing
so valuable work is beyond the ken
of any forward-lOoking man. The OBJ
jections of Palisade were insipid, but
it was only what might have been ex-
pected. For one thing, it will be GER
tain to come up again as movement,
and that soon BY that time even the
DULLES may see the light 1t is to be
hoped so. This high school project is
the greatest objective of any kind ever
undertaken by the borough.

GIVE MAYOR HILL CHANCE.

The interview in this issue of The
Palisadian with Mayor George Hill of
Fort Lee is interesting at this stage of
his administration. First, it is wrong
to PREJUDICE man before he has had
time to show his hand. Next, it is
foolish to underwrite a new mayor be-
fore he has more than taken his seat.
On this particular point Mayor Hill
speaks his view without mincing
words
Relating to the town talk going on
about the methods of selecting the
auditor, or examiner. for investigating
the borough finances, Mayor Hill as
sumes sole responsibility, and has per-
sonally assured the editor of The Pail
Sadian that no human being had
hand in going after the right sort of
auditor but himself Talk has it that
the whole thing will, of course, be
whitewash, but Mayor Hill says not
unless the whitewaSh is deserved. In
that event the job will be all the
winter
Like all other people, we must listen
u GulIoIS, anu SoluelllueS we 10TH
opinions based on what people say
But here is a case where common JUS
tice demands that the public wait.
Mayor Hill has promised number of
important livingston his administration,
among them that he will positively
force an equalization of assessments
on all property in the borough. The
tax assessment will not take place be-
fore next fall. 1t will be easy enough
to tell what is what at that time
| There is easily enough property that
is taxable in the borough at just rate
to largely reduce the tax on homes
and that is the greatest need of the
borough today.
/ The Palisadian has long favored
commission government-Stillf avors it
but it now believes that Mayor Hill,
without giving him crown with a
white halo on it, should be given a
chance to show his manhood, also his
own sense of justice to the people.
