in Ford Car
Travels to Fit. Lee
From Detroit


Mr.. and Mrs. r. Drenth of Detroit,
Mich, formerly of Fort Lee and
Ridgewood, are visiting Mr. and Mrs.
A. Franz, Central avenue, Fort Lee.
They made the trip in their Ford car,
leaving Detroit Wednesday morning at
6 o'clock, arriving at Fort Lee Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock, after driv-
ing continuously three days and two
nights, stopping only short times now
and then for meals. They made the
trip in 50 hours
They travelled along the southern
shore of Lake Erie through Toledo,
Cleveland, Erie, Niagara Falls, until
they reached Buffalo. From there they
passed through Batavia, Geneseo, Cor
ming, BinghamtOn, Liberty, Middle
town, Tuxedo, Hackensack, thence to
Fort Lee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Drenth will remain a
week or so and make the return trip
by the same route. They hope to
make better time, as they had unfa-
vorable weather and muddy roads,
which necessitated many detours.

HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
OPENING BALL GAME.

The Cliffside High School baseball
team lost its opening game of the cur
rent season on last Saturday, when
they played the Ridgewood High team
in Northern New Jersey Inter-
scholastic League game The score
was Z to 2.
The Cliffside boys may be pardoned
for the loss of the game, as it was the
first they have played on a good dia-
mond this year
After the first and second innings
they settled down and gave Wander
back fine support. Lewis deserves
credit for the good game he pitched,
only for that miserable second inning,
in which the support received was ,ev-
erything but good.
The only thing that was lacking on
last Saturday was the punch at bat.
The Ridgewood boys by winning on
Saturday made their second victory
out of the two league games they have
played, and they are leading, with
percentage of 1000.
This afternoon Cliffside plays Engle-
wood of Englewood

Lloyd North Spence
Has Birthday Party

An important event in the social life
of the very young set in Grantwood
was the birthday party of Master
Lloyd North Spence, which was given
on Saturday to 20 other children, most
of whom were in his class. Games and
dancing were the amuSementS, the new
electric piano so enthusing the girls
and boys that they found they could
dance to its strains after protests that
they didn't know how, and they kept
it up during the afternoon and even
ing
The mother of the young host had
prepared games of an exciting nature,
and the potato race was won by Rose
mary White among the girls and Ber-
nard Brudie among the boys.
The contest in pinning the tail on
the donkey was won by Marguerite
Weiss and Eric Lehsten, and in the
game of Going to Jerusalem the win
ners were Anna Kirmeyer and Walter
Modess.
The prizes were whistles, balls, a
baseball bat and a necktie for the boys
and handkerchiefs and writing paper
We're those for the girls, while a doll
was the BOBBY prize for a boy. De-
licious refreshments were served of all
the good things that the young folks
like, and they had lots of fun putting
on the paper caps found in their bon
bon papers and in finding the many lit
tie prizes in them.
Mrs. Spence was assisted in her du-
ties as Ghostess by Miss O'Hare, Mrs
McGarry and Mrs. Hourigan, and the
happy guests were: Myrtle Wicks, Vir-
ginia Fessler, Marguerite Weiss, M.
Gwend Stannek, Eleanore McGarry,
Rosemary White, Anna Kirmeyer,
Kathleen Hourigan, Esther Anderson,
Eric L. Lehsten, Kenneth Mcdonald

The Bergen Contracting Company is
rapidly doing the work of laying the

This spot will be greatly missed by
the boys of the town, as they have

great national pastime of baseball
This spot was sought by the boys es-
pecially in the spring, as it would al

Indignant Public
Is Surprised at
Palisade Az. Work


"A most inexcusable blunder is being
perpetrated in Palisade avenue. Ar.
rahgements are making for the build
ing OF the new and much needed high
way between Palisade and Fort Leo
ana preparations will soon be ready to
start the work. But there is one thing
pelhg done that is absolutely unheard
OF ana so altogether out of the ordi-
nary correct way of doing things that
great surprise is expressed on all
sides. Before starting on the work of
building Palisade avenue they are ac-
tually going to lay new sewer. some
thlhg so foreign to the accepted way
that people who have watched the
progress of the work are simply
amazed. "The idea Don't they
know that all sewers are laid after the
road is built? How will the authori-
ties dare face the public with such a
thing as this going on? Don't they
know that all roads have to be torn I'D
and rebuilt in order to get the sewer
and water pipes imp
Our best people are indignant at the
work they are putting over, and it will
surprise no one if a loud howl of pro-
test is heard from this unprecedented
action.

Mrs. Becker Talks
On Italian Drama
For Palisade Club

Another of Mrs. May L. Becker's de-
lightful lectures was given on Friday
under the auspices of the Woman's
Club of Palisade at the Union Church.
The topic of the lecture was 1.-THE
Italian Hand in the English Drama
From Elizabeths Time to Ours and
included the plays by Sem Belli
Speaking of the uncertainty of the
success of a play, which often de-
velops entirely different from expec-
tatiOns and predictions, Mrs. Becker
discussed "The Jest" which has had
three handicapS against any success,
for it is translation from the Italian,
different from our ideas. 1t was play
ed in blank verse, and it is tragedy,
and tragedy of the sort wherein there
is not a single character with whom
one can sympathize. 1t is more a cos
t3me or historical play and not mod
ern one.
And yet-put on the stage in May,
with the expectation of gracefully
withdrawing it as the bad season came
Ont was not withdrawn. 1t outlived
the hot spell of spring, it outlived the
summer season, the actors strike and
other unfavorable things and was final
ly Withdrawn, principally because of
the physical disability of the actors
longer to continue it.
The analysis of this by the clever
lecturer not only showed the deep I'M
DERIVING reason in this particular in
stance, but will be of value for theater-
goers in understanding the psychologist
cal reasons for other successes and for
their own feelings.
For three centuries the Italian PLAYS
and those of England more or less
have involved violence, subtlety and
CRIME. We have taken some of these
and adapted them to our stage.
1t has been violence that attracted
us. The Italian, Roberto Bracco. has
written plays about the problems of
everyday life, and especially the prob
lens of women, and women as individ-
'faiss, Whieii isAI.vEs eiaSss wartl
ers, and yet his work is comparatively
unknown among us. 1t has not that
exotic fragrance that these others
have.
Plays of this sort we get more from
the Italian nowadays nnG not from the
English or American writer's
The basis of "The Jest" lies in the
difference between US and the Italian.
Here it is only the dull witted who
play practical jokes. In Italy it is the
opposite. There it is the effort of brains
against Drawn. There is nothing like
1t in this country, except the tales of
Uncle Remus in "B'rer Rabbit" who
wins out against the bear, the fox. the
elephant, by using his cunning, his
wits.
SO in "The Jest" it is the effort of a
man to keep his head up, to keep his
very life against man three times as
strong. 1t is an intellectual contest.
Mrs. Becker not only told the plot of
that play but briefly reviewed other
Italian plays.

BLUFF ROAD HEARING IN jerry CITY
results IN new COMMISSION OF 3
BEING NAMED FOR MORE HEARINGS

Appointed to Look Further Into Bluff Road Damages
From Route No. 10 State Highway.
NEW HEARINGS ON JUNE FIRST

mont and HI. c. Straight of Morsemere
These gentlemen made separate and
distinct appraisements, each not know
ing what the other did. There were
two other parties put on the work also,
but it is not known what they did or
who they were.
The hearing last Saturday was sup
posed to be more or less final. Instead
it was merely looking for the appoint
ment of a commission to fix the losses
Messrs. Straight and Christie both said
that their figures had been accepted on
other appraisements, and they thought
the same thing might happen in the
Bluff road figures they recommended
The members of the new commission
were named because of their knowl-
edge of Bergen county values, William
Conklin being added instead of anoth-
er party named at the instance of
Judge Seufert, who represented the
majority of those living along Bluff
road.

Facing East Sermon
At Palisade Church

Facing East" was the subject of
an interesting sermon last Sunday at
the Palisade Church. The thought
was intended to convey the idea OF
right direction in our lives. The bril-
liant young minister handled the sub
ject in his usual fine style and made a
most profound impression. He has
rarely been heard to better advantage
than in this discourse, albeit he an
nounced that he would give only a
talk" Far from that it was we'll
thought out discourse and was ringing
i'll fine religious fervOr When we are
facing east, he said, we know we are
looking toward the rising SUM- The
illustration, he said, was peculiarly
fitting in this day of distorted condi-
rapidly coming out of the chaos of the
great world war and would be all the
better for having had the experience,
and the blood and treasure lost in it's
conduct were all great and good in
vestment for the cause of God and his
work. Mankind is now all the better
able to see its direction through the
many problems that have long ha-
raised it. Palisade, he said, needed to
face east. 1t had long steered the
wrong course and would be able to
better find itself when it went to the
rising sun with it's purpose and all it's
missions

The hearing at Jersey City court
house last Saturday morning for the
purpose of getting at some manner of
adjusting the Bluff road property dam
ages took place at 10 o'clock. The
actual fixing of damages to each prop
erty holder whose land is injured was
not completed and will not be until a
new commission which was appointed
at the hearing completes it's labors. A
commission consisting of James De-
Turck, Hackensack; Robert Fresch,
Teaneck, and William Conklin of En-
glewood was appointed and June fix
ed for the first hearings. The commits
sion, it is understood, will go over pre-
vious findings on property damages be-
fore the first hearing.
Some weeks ago several parties OF
appraisers were put on the work of
getting at the sum of damages along
the Bluff road highway in Palisade,
among them Walter Christie of Du-

Mrs. Robt. Cadien
Holds Food Sale
For Armenian Aid

Probably the most successful food
sale ever held in Cliffside Park under
private auspices and not by an organi-
cation was that which Mrs. Robert Ca
diem had on Saturday afternoon at her
home on Gorge Road, in the Edgewa-
ter Heights section.
Mrs. Cadien in her deep interest
aroused by the heartfelt talk recently
given by DR.. ConStantiem at Trinity
Episcopal Church decided to hold a
food sale herself to aid the Armenian
Relief Fund, the first person thus to
do it as a private enterprise and, in
faith, she opened her home for it and
was rewarded, for the donations came
in generously, and more would have
been donated had the hostess asked it
of more of her friends.
An excellent attendance of the resi-
dents soon depleted the supplies so
that the table looked almost like Old
Mother Hubbard's famous cupboard,
and five patient but determined women
waited around for more contributions
to arrive. The members of Trinity
Church, which Mrs. Cadien attends,
were especially generous in donations,
and when one arrived with delicious
rolls just out of the oven they were
bounced on and Immediately disposed
of to two purchasers.
Well rewarded was she for her eff
forts, for the Armenians will be sos
better off because of Mrs. Cadien's gen.
-erous impulses. She is kindly handing
it over to the Woman's Club of Cliff
side Park for its fund, although she is
not member of that organization, but
just wants to send the money through
the organization which she knows the
best.

Mrs. Darby Presents
Cut Glass Vases to
Palisade Church

Mrs. Captain Samuel E. Darby of
Abbott boulevard, Palisade, last week
sent beautiful pair of fine cut glass
vases to the local church with her
good wishes. The Darbys are to leave
Palisade soon for several years, hav-
ing leased their home for an extended
period This summer they will spend
at their cottage on Long Island, then
move to the city in the autumn.
Mrs. Darby's gift to the church is
much appreciated. The vases are
about II inches high, very heavy and
massive and of most refined design.
