Pilgrims bowed their weary heads in
a prayer of thanks to God, whose

Watching Cliffside
High With ''Corkey''

Sorry, missed you folks last week !!
The football season has ended; the
uniforms have been turned in.
The boys are now ready to start
the basketball season.
Our friend, Mr.. Sears, was present.
He had given up a day from bust
ness trip to stop at town so that he
could see the game.
A foregone conclusion is that Cliff
side played very poorly in the first
half.
Started the second half well, but
the pep displayed seemed only to come
in streaks.
Cliffside had no reasons in the
world to be beaten by Passaic, as she
had defeated both Englewood and
Ridgewood who had beaten Passaic.
Trick plays and forward passes
Cliffside's best cards-were used by
the home team while our line was at
q loss.

thousands seize every opportunity to go
there. Why? Answer the question yourself.
A few Sundays ago Don Marquis and l
started out for a Sunday afternoon stroll.
Without knowing why walked towards
the bay. When we got there we found that
hundreds had done the same thing. We
asked Don for explanation and told him
about the Chattahooche River. His idea
about II was that as fishes our ancestors
had come up out of tho sea. and we had the
natural homing instinct in us That expla-
nation doesn't hold water, however If II
were true the city would have TO employ an
extra force Of police to keep the people out
OF the trees in Central Park. Certainly the
monkey instinct (provided. of course, you
accept the theory at alb is much more re-
cent than the fish urge.
We don't mind asking the question but
somebody else will have to answer 1t.
While we were looking at this picture of
the sea the odor of onions came distinctly
to us. We followed the scent unerringly, be-
lieving it would lead US to Barney Reilly
who always had a passion for onions but
instead of Barney we found that the atmos
phere of the place was being decorated by
an enhancing young woman, who stood
oblivious of the admiring glances of those
who, like we, had followed the odor of this
noble vegetable.

the young miscreant told her TO do her

they simply seethed. Didn't Effie place any

that the reason why she heartless

played her false once? If a girl couldn't do
as she pleased with her powder puff, she
might as well GO 10 Russia.
Maybe under the rule OF the Soviet the
powder puff was emancpated too. All the
proboscs Founders yehemently declared that
II any tyrannical action were taken they
would make a display Of force-they would
all wash their powder puffs and draw them

That decisive blow for freedom told. The
big boss seemed to have heard these thun

cestors of many of these girls fought I'm the
American Revolution, for presently, in a
gracious manner, he summoned the fair

you give US tho votc?"
The boss allowed that this opened mp n

SO tho company, one OF the most powerful in
the country, bowed before the might OF the
powder puff. and now It's possible for all
the radiators to bloom like rose gardens with

Dan Thinks Gaelic Is
As Good to Ouote as French

So, as we were saying, we went up to the

Of all kinds-drama, art, literature. music

words from foreign languages when there

cept down and out" "dc trop" means get

event 1t means ice cream. Why always
French, anyway? Why not Gaelic and some
nice Irish expressions? They would be
equally as difficult TO understand. Herbert
Spencer touches on this question in his phi
losophy OF style" but even he permits him
self to write: "Eschew sesquipedalian YER

tells about an Alabama Judge who became

Thought Barney Reilly Might
Be Staring at the Pictures

Then, too, we thought that possibly Barney
Reilly might be found looking at the pic
lures We have been searching for him
for two months. OF course, If the bars were
open we would eventually meet, but not by
any stretch of the imagination can we be-
lieve that Barney has become a denizen of
the ice cream parlors Even if he has our
paths would never cross.
Many years ago we conducted similar
search, but with better results. 1t was in
the days when the ferries brought passen-
gers from the south across the Hudson
River. We had saved up $40 for weeks
visit to New York, which was enough in
those days. because when we went travelling
we had train passes. Pullman passes, we
knew the dining car stewards and had free
meals. and always had letter to one
of the New York hotels saying who we
were and asking that the account be
charged to the paper back home. We never
paid for theatre tickets and the distances
around town were not great as to pre-
vent walking. So $40 was enough for
riotous week of mad revelry in those days.
OF course it is different now. Newspaper
men are not respected they once We're.
Well, anyway when we boarded the ferry
we stood behind a post, and whenever an
official of the boat came along we lodged
and finally landed in New York without
paying the ferry fare A block away con

crime, and that crime was theft. A few sec
