CHICKEN PIE DINNERS

When person does thing better
than any one else can do it 1t is some
times proper to call that person gen
ius. There is an institution in Pail
SADIE known as the Woman's League of
the Union Church. Not from the leg
endary ''time immemorial," but for
many years of the young life of the
village these good lady folks have
served from time to time what they
were pleased at the start to call
"chicken pie dinners Whatever
there is about this magical name no
one can tell. But it is Il fact that it
has added Il fame to PaliSade that
nothing else could have caused. Men
have been absent on long visits to 9th
err cities when these feasts have been
announced ahead, and it is a matter of
record that they have sometimes drop
ped important business matters in or
der to be home in time to get at these
Palisade chicken pie dinners. Fowls
have been famous in history. \ goose

and the cock growing preSaged the
downfall of the Apostle Peter. But it
took the women of the PaliSade Church
to add another association with the
name of fowls that bids fair to shine
as luster in the future fame of the
fast growing village This week. saw
the ladies in another of their wonder
full culinary triumphS, Another signifi-
cant fact that outside of private CON
tributons nothing has ever created
anything like the fund for aiding the
Palisade Church as the chicken pie
dinners of the Woman's League. Thus
fame rests upon very appealing func-

WOMEN'S CLUB LUNCHEON

Another novelty five course luncheon
was given by the Cliffside Park WO-
mems Club during the past week. A
bus was hired which conveyed the
diners from house to house, where diff
ferent courses were served.
The first course, an oyster cocktail
and its associates, was served at Mrs.
J. NJ. SCOTS. The second course,
consisting of cream of corn soup, was
given at the home of Mrs. f. Lehsten.
The third course, of roast beef, baked
potatoes. peas and carrots. was pre-
pared by Mrs. Nilsson. The fourth
and fifth courses, consisting of fruit
salad, cake and coffee, were served at
the Edgewater Heights home of Mrs.
Warren SammiS East hostess was
ably assisted by committee of four.

NEW LAW PUTS WOMEN
ON GRAND JURIES

Trenton. Jan. Ex-senator Mackay'S
bill. providing for the appointment of
women on grand and petit juries,
which was introduced at the opening
session of the legislature, was passed
last night by vote of II to 0.
Senator Simpson raised tbs question
as to whether the women would be
subject to disqualification the same as
men are under present act and was
assured that the new act placed the
women under the same rules as the
men were. He added that the bill was
merely introduced because there was
some slight doubt in the minds of some
iuriStS whether women could be ap.
pointed on juries merely because they
were given the right of franchise, and
it settled the matter definitely by plac
ing it on the statute books. He said il
placed the women in the same cate
CORY as the men, giving them the same
privileges and exemptions.

CONSOLIDATING MUNICIPALITIES

The Bergen News, a new daily pa
per in Hackensack, last week had an
interesting editorial on the subject of
municipal consolidation. 1t was one of
the finest thoughts brought out within
recent years Taxation is surely the
white mans burden, and The News
feels that as at present run there is
little opportunity of the boroughs of
the county being able to reduce taxa
ton for some time to come. While
this may be true, and doubtless is true,
at the same time there is little need for
borough expenses going as high as
they have been for several years past.
But granting that the taxes are
high, due to the runaway system of do
ing everything as the politicians say
they must be done, it is good thing
to have someone suggest something
that will reduce the cost of living in
Bergen county Consolidation of mu-
inequalities, The News says, is the only
possible solution. BY combining the
bOroughs may be run at much less cost
than now At any rate, when the peo-
pie get UP enough enthusiasm to take
a little interest in their own affairs
there may be something like this do
ing. But by experience we have learn
ed that trying to put any sort of re-
form into being finds the voters apa-
thetic. The higher the cost of CON
Quoting the government the more the
parties stick together 1t may be that
an effort will be made to put some
thing like this into being, but it will
be rather difficult in the present state
of borough politics. The politicians
would not give the people chance to
vote on such an issue as consolidation.
And if they voted the peanut politi-
clans would not allow them to express
their real convictions. They would get
up something to decry it and thus Gre
ate a suspicion in their minds that con-
solidation would merely be another p0-
litical trick to fool the voter. Then
the voter would fool himself by voting
with the politicians. What would the
present crop of peanuts in our near by
boroughs do with a consolidation pro-
posal? Kill it in about two minutes

A PROPHETS AWAKENING.

Andrew Jackson De Voc, the Hack
ensack weather wizard, recently made
an engagement at fixed price, it is
alleged, with some gentleman connect
ed with the lecture bureau of the New
York public schools. 1t was to last all
winter, and he was to tell how weather
is made. The first of the series was to
have been delivered two weeks ago at
Port Richmond, Staten Island Much
to the surprise of the prophet" the
whole series was suddenly declared
off, annulled, cancelled! The Hacken-
sack savant was hopping mad and one
of the Hackensack papers said that
the old man was going to appear in
Port Richmond whether or no. He is
said to have declared that for twenty
nine years anything ill that was liable
to happen to him had always been de-
clared in dream. This time there
came a lion, with whom he had a tus-
sic, and the lion went the way of all
bad lions, for in the vision he was
given a pistol and slew the mighty
beast. With this omen before him he
is said to have declared his intention
of seeing that his lecture course ma
tured as per contract.
The weather prophet is named le-
gion. All lands possess his ilk. He
never yet amounted to hill o beans
in effective knowledge of anything
connected with weather. Their system
is all guessing, and, judging by what
Uncle Andy has to say about his theO-
ry, he is some bird of a scientist"
He says we "get our weather" from
the moon. According as how the light
from the moon strikes our planet we
have our weather hot or cold, mild or
extreme, etc, but moon-made. If
mOonbeams come slantingdicular like
our weather is set ON the cold button.
If the rays come straight at us holiness
will prevail. &c. according as to how
the moonbeams slant we are blessed,
cursed or whatnot in the weather line.
Perhaps the most unique of the De
Voenian discoveries is in relation to a
hard rain, sometimes called the cloud
burst A cloudburst, the Hackensack
fOrecaster says, is a floating lake of
pure, unadulterated water resting Sc
renely on the top of bank of clouds
away up yonder in the skies, looking
down upon mother earth in plying
glance, when all of a sudden cruel
wind comes along and rudely tips the
cloud bit, when down comes the
great spill all in heap and browns us
poor mortals out who happen to be I'M
der the slop-over. AS a theory of the
cloudburst this possesses all of the
charm of a second childhood dream
and perhaps has never had il counter
part in originality or uniqueness.

Barbara Vjlliers a "Throwback -

After the fall of the Cromwell re-
gime Charles II came back from exile
TO England, acclaimed as king with a
welcome more delirious than ever Eng
fish sovereign had received before.
And while the people shouted and re-
joiced. the king slipped away and sup
ped with Barbara Villiers, d woman
who was later to be more notorious
than any other woman of her time.
She was the daughter of brave and
good man, a courageous soldier who
had died at the age of 80 from wounds
received in battle. 1t is one of the
mysteries of heredity that his daugh-
ter should have been the most shame
less beneficiary of corruption that Eng.
land had ever known.

no enduring pride in government that

the men whom we elect to take much
pride in making it so?
Our sense of values in this respect
is sadly awry. Until we change it for

to accord this nations problems such
superficial treatment as that meted

One of the few specimens Of horn
books still in existence has the al
phabet in large and small letters. the
vowels and consonants, the Lords
Prayer and the Roman numerals. The
first line in horn books was always
known as the cross line, as picture
of the cross ended 1t, symbolic of the
theory that the end of learning is piety.
The horn books were generally about
nine inches long and five inches wide
One of the reasons for their disappear
ance is that they formed handy weap-
ons in school-boy disputes, and even
oak boards break when brought into
contact with the bullet heads of youth.

HUMAN SIDE OF GOVERNMENT

There are just three factors in trade,
all human. They are:
The man who has something.
The man who wants it.
The man who transports it from one
to the other.
And there are only five material
things men want. They are:
Things to eat. Things to wear.
Things to travel in. Things to amuse.
And something to be a symbol of the
human value man places on the other
four things.
All these things either grow on the
ground or are dug from it. Our cities,
our houses, clothes food, mills, rail
roads, steamships-al are petals in the
great flower growing out of the earth
from the seed of human endeavor.
And the governments sole duty is to
keep open the road for all to attain
what they desire of the five material
things men want.
That is what Golfers meant when
it printed in its platform
Take the government out of bust
ness that it was never intended to do,
and cannot do we'll"
And that is what John Hays Ham
mond meant when he said in Golfers
a few weeks ago:
1.-The best thing that the government
can do is to keep the roads TO success
open, to see that no one erectS barriers
on them. And to see, most particular
ly, that it does not erect barriers it
self. Most of us ask no more"
The three branches of American
governmental legislative, the eXecu-
tive, and the judicial-merely have
different functions applied to the same
task, which is to make, execute, and
interpret fairly the rules for human
conduct
The administration of these rules is
the basis of all government.
There is only one remedy for bad or
shortsighted government. 1t is very
simple. 1t will not be fully needed.
But here it is:
Let the individual, yourself, vote de-
liberately for capable and honest men
for every government office, pational,
state, and local, from the lowest to
the highest, from dog catcher to
president

Mans Small Importance.

Following is by Samuel Johnson !:
The truth is that no man is much re-
garded by the rest of the world. He
that considers how little he dwells
upon the condition of others will learn
how little the attention of others is at
tracted by himself While we see
multitudes passing before us of whom,
perhaps, not one appears to deserve
our notice or excite our sympathy, we
should remember that we, likewise,
are lost in the same throng: that the
eye which happens to glance upon us
is turned in a moment on him that fol.
lows us, and that the utmost which we
can reasonably hope, or fear, is TO fill
a vacant hour with prattle, and be for
gotten"

EUROPE IN A POISE

According to the latest reports, the
European countries are beginning to
weary of some of the things being
done in this country to discourage
pleasant relations. Some of the draS-
tic measures our statesmen have pro
posed to cut loose from the drafted
foreigners are being resented, and it
would not surprise anyone to see Eu-
rope especially become very naughty
with us. Perhaps this would be logi-
cal. We have called them some harsh
names at various times during the
progress of politics and more especial
ly during the last presidential cam
paign. France is now holding herself
somewhat aloOf just when we had all
hoped that, being always friendly and
now occupying the position of cuSto-
dian of our sleeping heroes on her soil,
nothing could ever efface the gratitude
we feel or lessen the entente cordiale
that seemed so logical after the close
relationship during the time when our
boys hobnobbed in battle line or
rubbed noses in gay Paree. 1t is too
bad that we have now to face Il sort of
GOODNESS rising among the French
statesmen. They have been saying
some rather rabid things in connection
with our sassy refusal to consider the
League of Nations. The league must
be more or less dear to their hearts to
have them show this resentment. OF
course we are not going to join the
league because Mr.. Wilson daddied it.
That was too bad, but in the circum-
stances could not be helped. The
