Notes of the Day

The hot weather kept many from
coming out both in the morning and
afternoon. The temperature went up
to 90 degrees. But at night about all
the village went down to see the fire.
works.
One of the real features of the morn
ing parade was the dear little son of
Major e. n. Rogers of Warren avenue.
The little chap came along the Bluff
road and Palisade avenue and was rid
ing a kiddie car, his father helping to
guide the little chap with a small rope.
The pair were at once taken in by Mr..
Logan and placed in the parade at the
head of the band, and the twain went
all the way to the school, the baby boy,
only bit over two, going the distance
without a whimper 1t was a delight
full picture.
Well, George E. Clark, Mr.. Logan,
Miss Fannie Bradshaw and Mr.. Dana
all came in for goodly share of the
of the public for their
part in very delightful day.

Legend Of the Great War.

In the early days of the World war,
when the brave little band of British
soldiers was compelled, by the over
whelming number Of the enemy, to
retreat from Mons, report was put
in circulation, and telegraphed all
over the world, to the effect that an
angel, with a flaming sword, stood in
the path of the pursuing host Of Ger
mans, and thus allowed the British
to retire in comparative safety. How
the report originated was not known
at the time, but 1t was discovered lat
er that it had its origin In an imagi-
nary poem entitled 1.-THE Angel of
Mons" written by an English clergy
man.

Fl. Lee Cars Now
Go to Hackensack

The Hudson River trolley service
is to be considerably improved-par-
ticularly the Fort Lee branch-by hay
ing the Fort Lee cars continue west
as far as First street, Hackensack, in
stead of ending their trips, as at pres
ent, at the Leonia Junction, says the
Hackensack Record
The first car will leave Hackensack
at the First street corner at rs a. no.
going east, reaching the Edgewater
ferry at 1857. Cars will run under a
fifteen-mmute Roadway until Z 57 p. ID.
This service is not to be. in effect
on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, Old
which days the Newark Ha ckensack
cars run through to the ferry.
This is decided Improvement and
will doubtless be of great benefit to
patrons anxious to make quick trips TO

The Engineers Easy Life

In the water supply line from the
Catskills pressure tunnels are used in
stead of pipe siphons. That tunnel
under the Hudson is 1,500 feet below
the hydraulic gradient.
In designing such tunnels they are
placed so far below the surface of the
ground that the external pressure due
to the rock above is not less than the
internal water pressure. Simple, isn't
it?
Then, again, in hydraulic work dou-
bling the capacity of an aqueduct
would cost not double, but about Is
times as much for pressure tunnel
construction. Economical, isn't it?
We suggested that one could double
and redouble, as in bridge, until the
cost disappeared altogether.
Norman Rogers, who is an A. NJ
Inst. Mech. E., points out that locally
Palisade cannot get hydro-electricity
and that the cost of power house
plant varies directly in proportion to
the load.
Good night, sweet dream of no
electric light bill.-Ed.)

FOREIGN STUDENTS
See TELEPHONE
FOR FIRST Time

Those in the telephone game who
look on the telephone as an institu-
ton consider the statement, "In my
country there are no telephones"
astounding, says the Telephone Re-
view, N. Y. This remark, neverthe-
less, was made by several foreign stu
dents during recent visit to the
Morningside Central Office in New
York City by the Intercollegiate Co.'S
mopoiitan Club, composed Of students
from sixty-four foreign lands attend
ing college in New York City. Two
OF the members had met the telephone
for the first time when they came to
the United States a short time ago,
while number of others barely had
a speaking acquaintance with telepho-
ny In their own countries. They knew
telephones existed In their big cities,
but they had never seen them used.
1t was miniature League of Ma
lions which saw the inner workings
of telephone system on this occa-
sion.
The visit of these cosmopolites had
more than ordinary significance None
of us acting as hosts ever imagined
that we would see in one group repre-
sentatives Of nearly all the countries
in the world. 1t was an unusual
chance to show the Importance of the
telephone in today's world, and how
the Bell system has brought the tele-
phone to its present advancement. Our
message, we believe, was not directed
to the students alone, but to those vast
numbers of peoples whom they repre-
sent, for they will be sure to carry
back to them the memory of their tele-
phone inspection in the United States.

PALISADES AMUSEMENT PARK

Nicholas NJ Schenck, manager of
Palisads Amusement Park, announces
he will repeat the fireworks display
given ON the Fourth of July on Tues
day and Thursday evenings. The pyro-
technic display is regular semi-week-
ly feature at this resort, but realizing
that thousands of patrons were unable
to see the tremendous tirworks eff

decided to hold over the entire show.
The fireworks displays at his resort
have always been feature of the free
entertainment, but nothing quite so
elaborate as the Fourth of July exhibit

chief effects comprise fleet of battle

Village Gossip

The Junges of Cumbermede road
gave gotten a new Buick touring car.
Anderson avenue homes are to be
remembered.
Mrs. Milton Elkan, who underwent
a painful nose operation two weeks
ago, is back in the village after a
weeks visit to her former Philadelphia
home. Little Stanley remained in the
Quaker City with his grandparents.
Miss Florence Brady returned
Thursday after a short stay at her
fathers farm in Duchess county, New
York.
SO many visitors were in Palisade
July they could not be counted.
SO far few mosquitoes have appear
ed this year-not meaning to speak
too soon, either.
Mosquito Water Hole Cleared
"A stagnant water ditch near Cum
bermede road north of Bluff road that
has for many years been an awful
breeding place for mosquitoes has at
last been drained into the sewer and
the water is all gone. A dandy good
job.
A Big Fly Pest
Did you get the big fly pest this
week? Several homes were invaded
with myriad of large flies that ap-
peared to come in through the cellars.
The Logan home was literally black
with all windows covered in the Gel
lar and hundreds in the kitchen and
dining room. They We're readily killed
as fast as they swarmed with an ordi-
nary swatter. A member of the Fort
Lee Board of Health was called in, but
he could not account for the visitation
in any way. They were all gone in a
few days.

Bergen Co. Roads
Hard Hit by Travel

According to figures prepared by
County Engineer Ross McClave as to
the extra expense put upon Bergen
County taxpayers to keep in repair
the road damaged by the heavy motor
trucks in use during the building and
occupancy of Camp Merritt, demand
will be made on the United States gov
eminent for the sum of $12S,571 Sc
to reimburse the county.
Engineer McClave also says the Ber-
gen County roads were traversed g.
100000 miles during the year, or at the
rate of seven times around the earth,
daily. Outsiders use the roads most.
