PAUL 7. BRADY, OF PAL|SADE, HEAD
OF $200,000,000 COMPANY that IS
TOHARNESS DELAWARE RIVER SOON

If plans, now in active preparation
by Paul Il. Brady, Palisadian, of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company, are successfully car
ried out, the Delaware River will be
harnessed in the near future, and it's
power which amounts to almost Il
million horsepower, will be at the serv-
ice of the inhabitants of New Jersey,
northeastern Pennsylvania, southern
New York, Philadelphia, and New York
city. Mr.. Bradys plan is ambitious
but entirely practical. 1t represents
the results of many years work on the
part of prominent engineers and fl
nanciers, as well as his own personal
investigations, and is therefore based
upon the complete knowledge of the
facts. Probably it would have been
realized several years ago, had not
the war interviewed. Its cost, which
will be in the neighborhood of $780,
100000, is justified by the fact that
at least five million horsepower could
be readily sold in the great industrial
district that can be served.
Everyone familiar with the upper
waters of the Delaware knows that
the current in many places is very
swift. BY building series of dams at
certain places, such as. Belvedere,
Bushkill, Shohola, and Buffers Rift,
the rapids can be transferred into water
falls with an average head of 80 feet
each. Then by passing the water
through water wheels, situated in pow
err houses on the dams, the power OF
the river can be transformed into a
corresponding amount of electrical
power, which can be transmitted hun.
dreds of miles in any direction. When

Booze Must Go,

"Bootlegging in Bergen county must
cease" said Prosecutor Archibald c.
Hart Wednesday. The statement was
made to the press in connection with
the arrest Of Newark man, who was
caught in Hackensack in the actual
delivery of liquor in wholesale quanti-
ties
Formerly we made the man who
became intoxicated tell us where he
bought the liquor. We are now going
a little further and are now making
the hotel keepers tell us where they
buy it
Sheriff Joseph Kinzley, Jr, com
menting on the raid made last Tuesday
night on hotel keepers throughout the
county, said:
1--WE propose to demonstrate that the
Eighteenth Amendment Is the law of
the land and must be enforced. Our
plan is to hound and raid the booze
dispenser out of business Our tour
of the county on Saturday night is part
Of an arrangement that will be contln-
ued. The saloon must go!'

W0MEN'S N0NPART|SAN LEAGUE HAS
representative MEETING ON THE
EDUCATIONAL ISSUE IN CL|FFSIDE

for Is. The schools were about to
spend S165,00, and he wanted to be
on the school board so as he could
see how his own dollars and those of
his neighbors We're to be spent.
Professor Venables spoke to the
point, bringing in many of the neces-
sary things that go to make up the
expenditures of the schools, etc. His
mention of details was complete. He
said the cost of maintaining each pupil
this year had advanced from S67 to
500.
Mr.. oToele answered some of the
things said by Mr.. Venables, relating
to certain comparisons made with the
school of which Prof OToole ives
superintendent in Gutenberg.
Mr.. Reggiori, another candidate,
spoke, bringing in something about
Mr.. Bohma, a member of the board
not living in Edgewater Heights. The
correction was made. Mr.. Mcdonald
and others spoke to the subject of the
evening defending what had been said
about irregular handling of the bust
ness of the board. He did not be-
lieye such thing existed The work OF
MIR. korsenk on the board was COM
mented on quite at length, and some
OF his claims vehemently denied, re-
garding the grading of the high school
grounds and other charges he had
made
The meeting as whole was fine.
AT times, with countering on this or
that point made, the interest was
was raised almost to the point Of real
excitement. 1t We're well to add that
the women scored heavily. They die
more than that. They decided the facr
that they are now factors.

Prohibition Fails
In Jersey Senate

Trenton, Feb. IA bitter fight was
preciptated in the senate last night as
II prelude to the refusal of the senate
to pass the resolution ratifying the
Eighteenth Amendment adopted by the
house. Majority Leader Mackay of
Bergen led the generalization forces.
with Minority Leader Simpson oppos-
ing him. The vote was 10 to s. with
Senators Barber of Warren, Hayes of
sussex and Martens of Hunterdon, all
Democrats, not voting.
Senator Blanchard Fl. White of Bur
lington moved to take action under n
suspension of rules on the assembly
concurrent resolution ratifying the
prohibition amendment. Immediately
Senator Simpson of Hudson. the mi
nority leader, was on his feet, declar-
ing the resolution was out of order be-
cause the amendment was already the
law of the land and required no fur
Their action. "This body can no more
ratify the amendment" Senator Smp-
son declared, than it can ratify the
whole Constitution"
After war of words, in which II
was declared among other things that
there was no sympathy nationally with
the enforcement of prohibition and
that legal prohibition could never be
successful, vote was taken on the
resolution, with defeat for the reso-
luton.
Senator Brown of Middlesex, speak
ing against the resolution, said that
the only point in its favor was that il
was saving the face of New Jersey.

Motor Squads
In All Counties

Trenton, Feb. 1.-Senator Parry of
Essex county presented measure in
the senate last night providing for a
county motor patrol in each county of
the state. 1t is designed as check
upon the socalled crime wave. The
measure is similar to that of Senator
Case authorizing constabulary, except
in that motorcycles are provided in
stead of horses.
The Parry bill also provides that
me mbers of the county patrol shall be
appointed by the boards of freeh0lders
for a term of two years. The county
patrol shall have the right to regulate
and' supervise traffic in streets and
highways. The state will provide mo-
tor equipment.
Senator Parry, in speaking for the
bill, said: "The most daring criminals
of the present day use automobiles for
the preparation of their crimes and to
make their escape from the scene of
the crime. OF what earthly good is an
officer on horseback to catch a criminal
speeding away in an automobile? An
officer on motorcycle will travel four
times as fast as one on horseback.
Horseback riders are such a rarity
these days that members of a state
cOnstabulary would herald their APP
prOach so openly to the law-breaker
that the lawbreaker would have every
chance in the world to make his get

Inc f1rst really potential meeting of
the Women's Nonpartisan League of

night at the high school, and proved
far beyond all expectations that the
women are not only liable to be fac

was the coming election for the Dor

was brought out that with 81 per cent
of the expenditures of the borough

FROM A SPEECH MADE BY MAJOR GENERAL
LEONARD WOOD IN NEWARK, N. j.,
JANUARY 6, 1921

"The Near East Relief appeal is tremendous one.
1t is almost worldwide, but of all the appeals there is
powerful than that of Armenia. Entire groups
isolated oppressed by the Turk genera
ton after generation They generous their par
tcipaton in the regardless of future going to
the side which they thought right giving blood and
treasure. Now absolutely helpless and dying want
of food, they appeal to who do not know want We
who have been spared much of it's horrors, them
debt"
You are going to have many appeals but of all the
appeals that there is none which ought to
receive mote prompt response than the
appeal from Armenia

ton is will do it. My prophecy that the people of

Congr'l Church
Entertainment

Very entertaining was the program
given at the Congregational Church of
GrantwoOd on Wednesday evening, the
second of the course of four, which
are to take place there, under the
auspices of the Mems Club, with per-
formers from the Lyceum Entertain
ment Bureau of New York.
Miss Edith Beach, the first entertain
er, gave several vocal selections, ac-
complaining herself at the piano in ex-
cellent style, then gave several imper-
sonations and recitatiOns.
She was followed by Al Baker, who
as magician, and ventrilOquist, delight
ed his audience, especially 'the younger
portion.
Perhaps the trick which appealed
to the men and women most was the
easy manner of getting money from
lent article.
Other tricks also charmed the spec
tatOrs and then his marvellous ventrilo-
quism was demonstrated through a
dressed life sized boy doll
Mr.. Baker is certainly in class one
in his art.
Miss Beach closed her program with
several more musical selections and
with Rotations of which the dinner
party attended by the famous Ruggles
family of Mrs. wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" was most effective
Mr. Sears announced the program
and the next date will be February II

all of the projected dams and power
houses are built, their combined ca
pacity at high water will be about $780,
600 kilowatts, or,750,000 horsepower.
At low water, however, the capacity
of the hydrO-electric plants will be
considerably less, so that an important
part of the project will be the erection
of 123O,O0O-horsepower steam plant,
somewhere in New Jersey, which win
be used during seasons of decreased
water flow to insure a continuous pow
er supply.
The usefulness of this power will
not be confined to industry. Wherever
there is an abundant supply of cleo
tricity, the hOusekeeper uses 1t to
sweep, sew, wash clothes and iron
them, wash dishes, cook, warm her
home in winter, cool it in summer, and
in fact to do practically all of the
physical work in the home.
This work is expected to take about
two years, SO that in all likelihood
about 100000 horsepower will be avail
able by January /, 1923.

in the development of water powers

Economics Dept.
Has Progressive

An eventful day in the history of the
Home Economics Department of the
Woman's Club of Cliffside Park was
Tuesday, the day of the travelling
luncheon The affair began promptly,
for the bus engaged by the chairman
collected the members of the depart
ment and deposited them at l o'clock
at the home of Mrs. Scott, on Grant
avenue, chairman of the department,
where the first course was served. As
the poem, read later, expressed:
eve stop at house to eat on our way,
And we keep right on eating as long
as we stay.
The first course is at SCOTS, chairman
. of all this array,
Where cocktails begin in making us
gay"
The cocktails were harmless, of ap-
'petizing oysters, and when finished the
women again piled into the waiting
bus to drive little farther.
'TO Lehsten's we get in the soup,
But Mrs. Mannhemer soon rescues the
group
After the soup the party proceeded
to Oakdene avenue, where the meat
course was served, calling forth much
appreciation from the company as did
also the beautiful flowers in prOfuSiOn
on the tables. Then the whole group:
'"Though full of good things that could
hard to beat,
Were able somehow to progress down
the street
To Edgewater Heights, Mrs. Sammis
to greet"
There salad was waiting, as was
also dessert. and
'"Here we are able to sit down and
rest.
For this is the last, as perhaps you
have guessed,
And after consuming all this with a
Zest
We feel we have time to converse and
to jest
These last two courses We're as de-
licious as the rest, and the place cards,
each with a line of the poem, were read
in turn at the end of the courses, pro-
voking much laughter with the local
hits at the work of the department and
ending with the idea that
'When we have made fine dress
Which looks as though Paris had made
its success
Well fed well rewarded, and-if we
survive
In the spring for a fine Paris hat we
will strive
To fit our 'swelled heads proud of
what we lave made,
And our department will give a fine
Easter parade"
Immediately at the close of the
luncheon the group adjourned to the
large parlOr. where two representa-
tives from the Public Service Electric
Company wer. waiting with various
electrical appliances, and a demonstra-
