Palisades Park
Refuge for N. Y.

Palisade Amusement Park, the pride
of the Hudson, under the skillful man.
agement of the Schenck Brothers, has
been real place for the warm people
of New York to seek shelter from the
sweltering heat.
The mammoth swimming pool af-
forded shelter for several. thousands
who leave New York because of its
discomfortures. But once they leave
the cars on the lofty Palisades and en-
ter the park with its miles of merry
midways they have forgotten the heat
and closeness.
The pool, with its reinforcement of
life guards and courteous attendants,
its appealing surf and the crystal wa
ter, are the assets that make perfect
the greatest oasis of the great Amuse-
ment Park.

Bogota, Bergen
Gem, At Early Dawn

Every morning the newspaper men
drop in at the Hackensack Jail and be-
fore leaving stroll in to the sheriff's
private office with the same old query
Sheriff Kinney himself was wont to
use in his newspaper days. Tuesday
morning Reporter Harrison of the
Evening Record, on his usual round,
i'll his usual way, received the follow,
ing unusual statement to his regula-
ton query, Anything new, sheriff.
Yes, sir, Bogota. l discovered it
by the dawn's early light this morn
ing. This little gem of Bergen coun-
ty town is truly wonderful in its
wealthy, homelike, substantial growth
and expansion.
why, do you know, Dick, that all
those old melon patches of historic
Peter Bogert's are now covered with
the most comfy kind of homes, that
fine streets from curb to curb are the
rule and not the exception?
Il was sorry Queen Crest was not a
through street because it has one of
the finest Outlooks in the borough.
They have an East Main street, too,
with tiny shops and many enterprises,
and so many things so few of us see
as we whizz through on the trolley or
autos on the pike.
"Bogota's worth an hours stroll of
any ones time. / tell you, Dick, get
up early some morning. Any old
stager like you and l around these
parts will open his eyes at Bogota.
"And say Dick, two hours early in
the morning has many advantages over
two hours too late at night. Folks
should try it. That, too, might be new
to many. "-Hackensa Record.

POLICE MAKE CAPTURE
OF "T00TS" WHELAN, MURDERER OF
MRS. C0LDSTE|N, PASSA|C, IN 1918

"A week ago one of Cliffside's police
force, William O'Brien, single hand
ed, captured two of the thieves who
had stolen a car of William Becker,
the Grantwood garage owner, left in
front of a West New York house.
This week it was not auto thieves
who were caught, but murdered, the
famous "Toots" Whelan, who has been
at large almost three years since he
killed Mrs. Goldstein, Passaic jew
eler
Early last Saturday morning the
Robert Cadien family of Gorge road
were awakened by noise in front Of
their home. Sensing there was some
thing wrong, they Immediately tele-
phoned to police headquarters.
Officer Linardi was sent to the scene.
There he found that four Hoboken de-
tectives had stopped the car in which
were "TOots" Whalen and "DOpey Ben
n.y. two men who have everything but
a good record, and six others.
The detectives had been parleying
with the tOughs, but Linardi after be-
ing told who Whalen was went right
INTO the car and brought him out.
Meanwhile Officer Roehr and Captain
Borrelli arrived at the scene. They,
with the Hoboken sleuths, marched
the captured men to the Cliffside po-
lice headquarters.
From there Whalen was taken to
Hoboken, the other seven occupants of
the car being freed as none of them
was wanted ON charges.

APPEAL ON CLIFFS|DE HIGH SCHOOL
EIGHTEEN Who SAYSIT IS RANKING
ASSET OF BOROUGH, AHEAD OF ANY

The recent attempt by the Cliffside
Park Protective League to pass reso-
luton doing away with the high
school has caused no end of gossip in
the borough at large. The agitation
was brought about by misunder-
standing of the motive in the Board of
Education asking for a transfer of
some 81 800 from one account to an
other to temporarily close a present
apparent deficit in the general fund
needed by the board for current eX-
penses for this year. In speaking of
this matter day or two ago H. F.
Golmann, a citizen of Cliffside Park,
said:
Yes, | agree with you that any diff
ferenceS on our high school are to be
regretted. The high school is by long
odds the greatest institution for good
the borough has ever owned. It's value
is too apparent to even be argued over.
There is only one side to the question.
Its record speaks for itself. We have
never had anything like the high
school for fitting out our boys and
girls for the duties of life and business
careers. 1t is fact that the Cliffside
Park High School measures up to the
very best standards in the state. The
state now gives us $500 year for
each high school teacher, and our pres
ent supervising principal, Mr.. George
w. Hall, came to us from Newburg,
N. Y, where he had staff of from 100
to $50 teachers. He is one of the best
efficiency men in the business any
where, and but for the fact that he is
taking an extra course at Columbia we
could not afford his kind of talent. He
is remarkable young man in many
respects. His school charts We're the
wonder of the Newburg system, and
Ielle has sfsdeG hts syst am to oir oArn
school, | do not want to make any in
vidious comparisons, but Mr.. Hall is
far in advance of the average high
school head. There is no doubt of this
He is making our system as good as
there is anywhere. Now, why should
politics enter into our school system?
But | am convinced that that is the
purpose of the present misunderstood
agitation against the board. There is
no excuse for it that l can see.'
Continuing, the speaker said: 1.-THE
board did not want an additional APP
preparation of $500 as many suppos-
ed, but wanted to transfer that sum
from another fund to clear off the
present small deficit in the years ap-
preparation. We have the money, and
| will say that the voters of Cliffside
Park have heretofore been very gen.
erous in backing up its Board of Edu-
cation. | say truthfully that no other
asset in the borough is as great as its
school system, and its high school is
the keystone of the whole borough's
high standing today before the rest of

St. Johns Play

Crescents of Edgewater are to cross
bats. Both teams are claimants to the
Eastern Bergen title, and it is said
the Emeralde Club of Grantwood is to

Mike Hozier, the mainstay of his
pitching staff, will toe the slab, and if
Mike lives up to his past performances
the Lyceumites will go after their
eleventh straight next Sunday.

and Eleanor Fallotico quickly climbed
into her lap.
"Where is daddy?" asked the mother.
"He has the baby over there" re-
piled Frances, the daughter.
''What is he doing?" asked mother
"He is caring for baby" answered
Frances. He held teddy bear for
"baby.'
"Well, tell him to look out for rob-

Evangeline.
At that moment a scream was heard.
"Whats that?' hastily asked mother.
"The babys been kidnaped!' scream

Teddums Bull had by this time turn

screaming, till daddy Gus FalloticO)
and Teddums came running back to

Gus was too much for his antagonist,
