Talk on Armenia
At Palisade Church
Tues. Eve, Feb. 10

Give us bread is still the most in
sistent call from Armenia, according
to Or. Charles Boynton of Englewood,
who represented the Protestant Epis-
copal Church on the commission of
representatives of sixteen boards of re-
ligiotis education of the churches in
America.
DIR. BoyntOn has recently returned
from q trip through all the distressed
sections of Asia Minor, which the com
mission covered thoroughly from Pal
estine, Syria, Turkey, Batum, Georgia,
Turkish and Russian Armenia and to
the very foot of Mount Ararat, whose
top has in the last four years gazed
down upon horrors without parallel
even in the many hundreds of years of
Turkish domination and misrule.
DIR. Boyton will illustrate his lecture
with stereOpticon slides made from
pictures taken during his trip through
Armenia.
This Is wonderful opportunity for
residents along the Palisades to hear
one Of the most noted speakers on this
important subject

Cliffside High
Beats Hackensack:
Girls Lose Theirs

On Wednesday afternoon the C. p.
Fl. s. basketball representatives, boys
and girls, accompanied by a number
of local basketball enthusiasts Journey
ed to the county seat and two won
derful fast, scrappy basketball games
were the feature of the afternoon.
The girls game was heartbreaker
for the G. p. II. S. girls to lose. At
the end of the first half Hackensack
was well in the lead. In the second
half the girls showed the real Cliffside
Park High School spirit of do or die
and they lost by only one point.
Up to date they have lost only three
games and they have won four, their
standing in the Northern New Jersey
lnterscholastic League is won and 3
lost.
Although the girls lost, the boys
brought home the bacon. They defeat
ed the Hackensack boys 20 to "a in
fast, exciting game. Again the Cliff
side boys showed that they can out
pass any team in the league. Me
Closkey broke his jinx and made sew
eral baskets.

Fit. Lee High School
Showed Under at
Special Election

The special election in Fort Lee on
Wednesday evening for the purpose of
building a new high school at a cost of
S2S4,OOO was well attended, but not
nearly as largely as should have been
to indicate the voting strength on IL
large question of this character. The
final vote was bitter disappointment
to the friends of the school who know
the necessity as well as the great de-
STABILITY of it. Petty politics and I'M
desirable interference also played i'm
portant parts in the final results.
The meeting was called to order by
Secretary John G. Abbott, Jr., and V.
B. Kelly of Palisade, chosen chairman.
The call to the voters was read. Just
before the opening of the meeting 80
of the members of the Fort Lee High
School students marched into the audi
forum and took seats reserved for
them.
A short program was presented be-
fore the call for votes was made. A
short, snappy song, I'VE Want a High
School," was sung by the students.
Then an eloquent plea was made by
Samuel Corker, Jr., for the school,
and another by one of the girls. Both
outlined clearly many reasons for the
school building.
When the discussion was finally in
opposition to the building. Cyrus
Prosch got in his gait, as usual, and
announced that he would always OPP
pose anything the board undertook,
which is typical of Cy.
On the vote for grounds the vote
stock even at 81 for each site, the
Lemoine avenue and the Monument
Square locations. The vote on the
school building stood 81 for to 115
against.
Arthur w. Tams of Palisade spoke
against the school building, as did
Mark w. Dintenfass. Both were
strongly opposed to the cost of the
sites. Tams threatened to get an in
junction against the School Board If
either site was voted on. He did not
reckon quite right, however, as any
action of this kind voted on legally
cannot be changed or undOne. Tams
was strongly applauded by the oppos-
ing element, and one woman went al
most into Mysteries in her joy at Mr..
Tams' opposition. Mr.. Kelly spoke
rather favorably for the movement and
said it could be tried over again, which
it undoubtedly will. And at an early
date, too.

MOSQUITO MEETING
AT ATLANTIC CITY.
FEBRUARY S AND 6

The seventh annual convention of
the New Jersey State Mosquito EX-
termination Association will be held
at Atlantic City on February ; and g..
DR. Headlee, the chief executive of
mosquito work in this state, promises
that this will be the biggest and best
convention ever held Speakers of
national reputation have been secured
and methods of mosquito control in
all parts of the world will be present
ed and discussed. 1t is hoped that the
convention will add impetus to the
movement started by the department
of conservation and development for
a state appropriation of S150,O00 year
for five years TO complete the drain
age of all salt marsh mosquito breed
ing areas in the state. This would
give the County Mosquito Commissions
more funds for strictly local work and
would bring closer the time when mos
quito control in each county will be
merely Il matter of careful inspection
and maintenance.
Freebooter Howell of Rutherford
Mr. Lewis Brown of Englewood and
Captain J. b. Leslie of Hackensack
will represent Bergen county at this
convention.

PALISADE GIRLS CLUB
TO GIVE PLAY FEB. 10

The Clio Club of Girls of Palisade,
whose leader is Mrs. John Purdon, is
rehearsing busily these days in prep
aration for play to be held on Fri
day, February -, at Epiphany Hall,
Grantwood, in the evening.
The combination of Friday and the
18th does not brighten these girls mt
all, for they have chosen IA play with
the name 1.-The Rainbow Kimonos,'
and it is said that ''if you see rain
bow on the 18th you will have good
luck" so they feel safe in their ven
ture and hope to realize sufficient
funds for the further support of their
little French orphan, for that is the
reason for the play, as it was last
year, when they so successfully gave
"Fads and Fancies' by the same au-
thor.
That play was wonderful in its fine
action and drew big crowd, and as
the coaches are Mr.. and Mrs. ID. A.
Carson of Palisade, who make il sue
cess of whatever they undertake in
the dramatic line, this years produc-
ton will be well worth seeing.
A dance will follow the play.

Breach of Promise
Settled Without
Trial for $685.

The $4,000 breach of promise suit
of Miss Mary Lillian Phipps of Tea
neck against William Russell Smith of
Tenafiy, which was to have been
threshed out in the Circuit Court We'd
nesday before Judge Willard w. Cutler
and jury in Hackensack, resulted in
a settlement of the suit between cOun-
sci before going to trial, the defendant,
it being said, settling on the basis Of
$685. on the first count in the COM
plant alleging breach of promise.
In view of this settlement, it is I'M
derstOOd that the suit of Smith against
Irving S. Van Loan of Teaneck, uncle
of Miss Phipps, has been withdrawn.
In this action Smith charged that the
Van Loans, with whom Miss Phipps
lived, conspired to cheat and defraud
him by inducing him to enter into a
contract of marriage with Miss Phipps
The complaint added:
Because of such conspiracy and
false and fraudulent conduct and as
surances the defendant has become
sick in body and his nervous system
fairs and business"
Miss Phipps is alleged to be de-
scendant of Sir William Phipps, first
royal governor of Massachusetts, and
daughter of George n. Phipps, tobacco
planter and merchant, now retired and
living on Park avenue, New York City.
He is said to have had the reputation
of being the richest man in Ohio
county, Kentucky.
In published interview as to her
relations with Smith, Miss Phipps is
quoted as saying:
''Some neighbors of ours introduced
me to Mr.. Smith. They had asked per-
mission from my aunt and uncle, Mr..
and Mrs Van Loan, to bring him to the
house.
SIT was on a motor trip to Asbury
Park last Easter Sunday that Smith
first proposed to me-" she said
'Finally, on June last, l promised
to marry him. The engagement was
informally announced to our friends,
and the neighbors gave parties for
us. The marriage was set for last
October.
.And then in July he telephOned. I
am through with you, Lillian he said.
I cried and later threatened to kill NY
self if he didn't come back. He said
had told people he was a 'greenhorn'
and a boob.
Sensational testimony was expected
at the trial as both sides had threat
ened to put in testimony certain letters
of an interesting character.-Record.

most drastic bill 1t chops off the
board and creates new body of three
members. If it is enacted into law,
State Highway Commissioner William
q. Thompson will be legislated out of
office. The act provides for the ap-
pontment of State Highway Engi-
neer by the new commission "whO has
been resident of New Jersey for a
period of not less than five years..
This would eliminate Mr.. Thomp-
son, who was brought into New Jer-
sey by General George w. Cocktails
TO serve as his assistant under the
Edge highway program. Mr.. Thomp-
son has not been in New Jersey three
years yet, so the five-year clause
would eliminate him. Similar pro-
vision is made for the assistant engi-
neer.
The Barrett bill provides that the
governor shall appoint the new COM
mission of three, one for one, one for
two and the other for term of three
years. Each member is to receive the
salary of $4,000 year and there is
provision by which not more than two
of the members may be of the same

eight is non-salaried. 1t meets once

Fl. Lee INVESTIGATION TALKED OF
ALL OVER THE BOROUGH RECEIVES
SHARP JOLT FROM MAYOR GEO. HILL
Head of Administration Urges That Halt Be Taken in
Talk About Borough Audit by Professional Ac-
countants Until the Job Is Finished, When Truth
Will Be Known.
THE COST TO BE AROUND $4,000

Talk over the borough of Fort Lee
has been rife since the council voted
to have an investigation of the general
financial condition of things made.
Every form and kind of report has
been circulated against or about the
administration, citing this as "ru-
NOR" that as fact" or something
else as sit is reported" etc.
"You can say for me-" said a promi-
nent Republican, that believe there
should be an Investigation of the way
they have selected the auditors for this
investigation. l hear they have Sc
lected friends of Mayor White to do
the job. Also it is to cost about $4,000,
and there is an ordinance against
spending any money over $499 that has
not been voted on by the council. 1t
isn't right that we should spend such
a big sum for this examination"
Similar things have been repeated to
The Palisadian. SO, with a view to
getting at the facts, Mayor George Hill
was asked early this week to tell all
about this investigation. Mayor Hill
replied:
Il do not care to have anything to
say. | am being knocked by so many
people, some of my friends among
them, that prefer to sit tight and say
I,aoffirg
"But cannot you tell about this in
vestigation?"
".There is nothing to tell We have
employed G. G. GabrielsOn of the firm
of Lawrence Scudder & Co., New York
and Newark, who made the investiga-
ton for the United States government
in the airplane case"
as it true that these people are
friends of ex-Mayor White?"
