Men Force Women
To Stand On Boats

Complaint after complaint has
reached The Palisadian concerning
the selfish manner in which men crowd
into the women's cabin on the late af
ternoon and early evening ferry boats
to the complete exclusion of women.
Not the slightest consideration is
given to them, and scores are forced
to stand either in the cabin, or on
the front deck. The habit has gotten
so noticeable of late that remedies
have been suggested time and again.
This week Mr.. Charles O'Reilly of
Grantwood called up The Palisadian
and said:
81 am ashamed of my sex when I
notice what takes place on these ferry
boats every night. If the women's
cabin is not misnamed, no man has
moral right to sit there to the dis
comfort of the other sex. 1t seems to
me that it would be an easy matter
to either post signs or to have one of
the deck hands get on the job and
politely ask men not to monopolize the
seats when there are tired women
standing up all over the boat. l am
willing to admit that many men are
tired also, but there is a special cabin
for them. 1 hope you will draw at
tention to this matter in no uncertain
terms
White men and negroes are equally
guilty of this seat usurpation in the
womens cabin. The company has
found it next to impossible to regulate
the matter 1t is similar case to. the
congestion of the subway Men are no
less impolite on the ferry than on the
subway.

Auto Smashed At
Bluff R'd Crossing

Last Saturday afternoon, about
three o'clock, while Mr.. II. H. Keith, of
1879 Cedar street, Ridgefield Park, was
driving his Essex touring car through
Bluff road, Padisade, going west, his
car was struck by southbound trolley
at the Bluff road and Abbott boulevard
crossing. The automobile was hit at
most exactly on the rear right wheel,
which was completely smashed off, the
auto being sent whirling about twenty
feet on the west side of the track
and stopped in the middle of the road
pointing northeast. With Mr.. Keith
was his wife and two children about
eight and nine years each. Strangely
enough, aside from nervous shock
none was hurt Mrs. Keith was taken
into the Hollinger home and cared for
till the agent for the Essex in Hacken-
sack brought out new wheel, which
was SOON adjusted and the party went
home under their own power, the en-
CINE being unhurt. The storm curtains
were drawn on account of the cold,
but Mr.. Keith said there was no bell Or
,
and he further claimed that the con-
ductor admitted that his car was not
equipped with any kind of alarm. This
the conductor denied.
This crossing is one of the most
dangerous in Bergen county, yet the
trolley cars go past it every few min
utes in the day, some at fast rate. One
of the employees of the company said
recently that the trouble is with motor
men who try to maintain fast sched-
ule, and as there are frequent changes
in motormen they do not seem to learn
the dangerous crossings as readily as
they should. There has long been
complaint at this crossing, and many
appeals have been made for an en-
barge on speeding trolleys. There
have been at least half a dozen auto
mobile accidents at that point. The
first serious accident was with the REQ
car of the late DIR. Charles Brady some
years ago, which was completely
wrecked one day. Quite a crowd
gathered around the Keith car, and
George View niade several SNAPSHOTS
Of it. Mr. Keith said he had no knowl-
edge that the car was coming until he
was hit. In addition to the smashed
wheel, the forward right door and rear
fender were twisted and the back of
the top frame broken. The damage
was inside of 5000.

Fine Additions to
Palisade School

The Fort Lee Board of Education
has recently bought some valuable
land for the Palisade public school,
which will give ample playground ia
cilities besides having sufficient prop
erty for future additions to the pres
ent school building should it become
necessary. The added plot ON the
north is about 100 by 10 feet, the 9TH
err plot being on the south and fronts
100 feet along Anderson avenue, going
back the full depth of the school lot
When it is all leveled off there will be
fine Fairgrounds for the children, as
fine as there is in the entire borough
The cost of the two plots was $500,
considered a very reasonable sum in
deed. If the board would now give
Palisade the long wanted addition on
the west of the present building, to be
used for gymnasium and public hall,
the public heart of Palisade would be
satisfied and joy would run riot

veyors TO pass certain tests before be-
ing recognized as civil engineers. The
open specification bill was again the
cause of hot discussion before Ii was
voted that the legislative committee
be given power to act on the bin or
draw proposed amendment to any
bin dealing with open specifications
which would follow the organizations

joy when I found the hospital itself
looking from the outside very like a
smart clubhouse and on the inside
warm and bright and CHEEKY, beauti-
fully clean and wonderfully scientific
in it's appointments and care for its

home to me well again, realize how
much I owe to this Wonderful institu-
ton and to the skill, the patience and
the human kindness of it's chief, DR..

PALISADE LEGION GATHERING MARCH
Is IN LOCAL CHURCH |NTEN DED FOR
CEMENT|kC OF ALL TOWNSPEOPLE

A community smoker and general
get together gathering will be held in
the Union Church of Palisade by the
julius Zanette Post of the American
Legion Tuesday evening, March Is.
Every man in Palisade is cordially in
vited to attend, and the officers of the
Legion are eXerting every effort to
urge the male residents of the town to
drop into the church that evening if
only for few moments.
Impressed by the recent rapid
growth of Palisade and the consequent
danger to one Of it's earliest charac-
teristicS-that stage of village life
where everybody knows everybody else
and there are no strangers-the local
Legion members decided at the Febru-
airy meeting of the post to endeayor to
bring the oldest living residents, the
very newest arrivals and all the in
betweens together at the Forthcoming
informal reception. They believe, too,
that all the men of the town will well
come an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the representative
young mems organization of Palisade.
The program of the evening is being
arranged by committee, headed by
Bruno de Paoli, who was chairman of
the committee that was responsible for
the successful smoker held in Deem
Der. He expects to be able to an
nounce by next week all the arrange
ments 1t may be definitely assumed
freshments and tobacco.
Major S. Wood McClave of Edgewa-
ter Heights has accepted Commander
Elkans invitation to attend the smoker
and to make an informal address
Harry Elkan was elected commander
of the post at the February meeting to
succeed Paul A. Berkey, whose resig-
nation was accepted with regret Mr..
Berkey's business will keep him away
--froa Palisade almost continuously for
the next nine months. He had held
his office since the foundation of the
post, having been reelected last Octo-
Der in recognition of the able manner
in which he performed his duties. Mr.
Elkan's election brings to the head of
the local Legion the man who was
most responsible for its organization.

A Gracious Deed by
Edgewater Folk

The Woman's Club of Edgewater re.
Gently had very unique and unselfisli
kind of party as patriotic pre-Wash-
ington celebration.
Twenty of the foreign students of
Columbia University were invited to
come to Edgewater for both a home
md a public entertainment, the club
asking for those who have no oppor-
tunity of social enjoyment among
Americans or of entering into then
home life.
AS consequence 16 students arriv-
ed and were met at the Edgewater fer
ry in automobiles by Miss Matilda
Meyer, the president of the club, and
also by Mr.. Fisher and Mr. Mack, who
conveyed the guests to their respective
homes, where they were entertained,
each family taking two to dinner.
The guests included four from ia
pan, one from China, one from Nor
way, one from East India, an Arme
MAN from Constantinople, two from
France, one from South Africa and
four from various parts of Russia.
After real home dinner they were
taken to the Edgewater library build
ing. where other members of the Wos
mans Club had prepared progressive
games of various kinds to entertain
guests, the kind of games which would
not take their limited English, and the
rooms were profusely decorated with
flags of all nations.
One of the features was the choosing
of partners by flags, each woman
wearing a flag of some country choos
ing a student wearing the same kind
of flag as chosen.
The whole evening was very much
enjoyed, and Mrs. Andrews. wife Of
Professor Andrews of Columbia UNI
versity, who arranged this program,
has promptly received letters of thanks
from the guests, who seem to have
specially appreciated the opportunity
afforded them of tasting real Ameri-
can home life even more than the fine
public entertainment

Albert Dyer Dies
In N. Y. Hospital

Albert f. Dyer, youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. f. Dyer, one of the first set
tiers of CliffSide Park, died after an
operation for appendicitis at New
York hospital, 8 o'clock Monday morn
ing.
"AF' Dyer was one of the most loved
and well-known boys that ever lived
on the Hilltop. He came to Cliffside

age and died when he was twenty
three
In 1919 he enlisted in the Eighth

moved to Eagle street and Browns
terrace, Englewood, from where he
was buried, he kept up his activities
in this section. He often said that
his real home was in Grantwood and
that he only slept in Englewood.
He was forever smiling, always
cheerful, always ready to lend help
ing hand. He was not very large of
stature but he used to remark, Good
things come in small packages"-and
this was true-he was beloved by all.
CAP attended Cliffside Park schools
and played and starred in football
and every other game he went in for.
Nearly every organization on the
Hilltop and under the Hill sent their
love and esteem in beautiful floral
wreaths to his bier.
One of the heartbreaking tragedies
connected with his death was that he
was engaged to Miss Lillian Sem
mendinger of Fort Lee, and was to
have been married in the summer.
This was terrible shock to his
fiancee and she has been Frustrated
for some days.
GAP was employed at the Warner
factory in Edgewater for many years.
He was acting as assistant paymaster
when he died.
Albert Dyer is survived by his
mother and four brothers, Messrs.
Harry, Herbert, Fred and William !;
and four sisters, Olive, Louisa, Eliza
beth, and Mrs. T. F. Dogerthy of New
York.
He was buried at Fairview cemetery,
Thursday, and was laid away in his
uniform.

adults. "The most striking case" he
said, was that Of an Australian SOL
