OIL WELL SHOOTER
KILLED BY EXPLOSION

Kirkwood, an oil well shooter, was
blown to pieces, two other persons
were seriously injured and three
houses were damaged by an explo-

Plummer road near here today. The
injured were taken to Housewife.
Kirkwood, an experienced shooter,
was driving over a rough road to shoot
a we'll in a field not far from Rouse

The authorities advance the theory
that he pulled his automobile out of a
rut in search of easier going, and the
front wheel dropped into hole with
sufficient force to explode the charge
of nitroslycerin.

FOOLISH PREJUDICE

OF the German blood that has been
ingrafted into our American blood
some is German This could not be
avoided, nor can there be criticism Of
fered that it is true. Many native
born Germans are true to this land of
their adoption, admitting that another
percentage of German-born are untrue
to the tenets and faith of America.
They proved that during the recent
war and proved it clearly. Some of
these are still disloyal to America.
Some can never be loyal Americans be-
cause they are treacherous, others be-
cause they do not want to respond to
the American ideal. This type be-
lieves that no other country is repre-
sentative of the higher form of civili-
cation except Germany. This element
cannot be helped along by preach
ments. They must continue to wallow
in the slime of their own disbelief.
They are contentious lot and make a
great deal of trouble. Every time
they hear anything said about Ger
many they want to fight or do some
thing ugly. This class amounts to
nothing except in its own conceit. But
there were thousands of good German
boys that went into the war and fought
for America, giving Il good account OF
themselves. Nothing but praise for
these. They are to be honored
The other day a little New Jersey com
munity undertook to honor the mem
DRY of Baron Steuben of Revolutionary
fame by naming a public school after
him. A big howl was raised over it.
The incident has caused IA great deal
of talk and criticism, as was natural.
But the great majority of opinion is
that the attempt to deny Won Steuben
the honor bestowed was Il mistake BY
an act of Congress Won Steuben was
granted tract of land in the old
Hackensack territory and lived there
for many years. Merely because there
is to be a school g r his land the Pail
SADIE township authorities say it can
not bear the namez Of Riverview Man n
school, if ills t6 bear the name of this
old German Revolutionary hero that
did so much to help America at time
when she needed it. The Palisadian
does not have much of a leaning to
what was German in the late war nor
with a whole lot that took place in this
immediate and other Jersey neighbor-
hoods during the war. But there is no
justice in some things and none at all
in the school matter under discussion.

Whistle Governs Wall Street.

"Ah, they go by the whistle here,
too," observed the factory hand from
upstate visiting in Wall street.
Yes" said his city cousin, "that's
the truth. l suppose the majority, or
at least a large proportion, of the
boys in Wall Street were born in the
country, and lived in some country
town before hitting the trail to the
big city. In the country town every
body goes by the factory whistle. One
doesn't see many clocks in Wall
street or any factories with whistles
to guide the boys during lunch hour,
but there's building being torn down.
And every wrecking crew is assisted
by dummy steam engine. Well, you
see the wreckers lay off work at noon
for lunch, and so do majority of the
Wall Streeters. Therefore when the
dummy engine blows its whistle to
call the wrecking crew back to labor,
the Wall Streeter returns to his office"

STATED moving all the private lines
running into the curb to the individual
offices owned by the brokers, as men,
berS of the new curb market are TAX
ing on an average of only one or two
private lines into the new building
Messages are now relayed from the
brokers' offices to the new market over
their private lines to the special desks
and space assigned to them in the
curb market building. Tickers and
have replaced the old signalling code
that served so long and well.
New York Telephone Company men
worked hand in hand with the curb
market association, and handled it's
part Of the work so that there was
never any interruption in the service
given on the curb itself. Entirely new
cables were run out of the Bowling
Green and Rector Central Offices to
the new market, designed to take care
of the curb market business for many
years to come. This work was done
some time in advance, and as the
building progressed, telephone service
was installed just as soon as the
rooms for it were completed.
In the Board Room there are IT'S
accompaniment traders desks which
can be occupied by $50 attendants.
Each desk compartment has a stoc!
which when not in use springs back
under the desk. Directly above the
writing shelf there is small perma-
nent desk lamp and an electric light
switch with red, white and green
button. BY means Of this switch the
attendant can flash the number of the
compartment on the numerical call
sign in any one of the three colors,
which will convey specific order,
or signal to the trader on the floor
that he is wanted by the attendant.
Special telephone equipment was in
stalled on every desk.
More than $4,000 soldered connec.
lions were made in the wire terminal
room to connect all the apparatus, be-
sides the thousands Of connections that
were spliced in the lead-covered cable
entering this room.

SAFE AND SANE JULY FoU7THs

The action of one of the nearby mu-
inequalities on the subject of fireworks
emphasizes the value of the system
adopted by Palisade many years ago
by having every year a safe and sane
July celebration. Around the Fourth
is about the only time of the year
when fireworks are used in any portion
of the United States except on special
occasions and at parks and on great
fete days. West New York came to its
conclusion about fireworks and disal-
lowed their sale because of the tragic
death of young girl from the most
innocent and simplest form of fire
works ever invented, the little silver
burning sparklers. This incident caus-
ed the city to shut the doors against
even the sale of fireworks, and other
communities are considering doing the
same thing.
The prevalent idea that has actuateG
Palisade has been that it reduced the
percentage of accidents to the mini
mum If fireworks were given at an
open place under the care of an expe-
rienced man engaged in the business.
The plan has proven very valuable,
and no serious accident from fireworks
has taken place since the safe and
sane plan was adopted. OF course the
spirit of Palisades annual July cele-
brations has attracted attention all
through eastern Bergen county, and
these happy occasions are the means
of attracting great crowds who come
TO see what Palisade will have 1t has

ure it gives everybody.

Is some talk Of the remnant of brokers
who did not take membership in the
new organization remaining on the
street, but this is problematical.
Opened on June 27
For years there has been talk about
housing the curb market; trading in
cold weather, in ice and sleet, and in
the heat of the summer sun has it's
disadvantages. But it remained for a
small group in recent months to actual
ly push the thing and bring about the
consummation of all the tendency and
talk to such a point that site was
purchased, running through the block
from Greenwich Street and Trinity
Place, and a splendid building erected.
On June l the executive offices moved

The Old Way and the New
Moving the open market into its new
quarters was very simple affair from
one point of view, for most of the
traders on the curb had very little
tduSiDie property at lne CuTD lISelI,
outside of agents, telephone instru-
mentS and wires. Some of these trad
ers had as many as fifty private wires
each running from various brokerage
houses to their little two-by-fOur offices
in the windows of the buildings facing
on Broad Street. These lines were in
stalled at their own expense, in the
hope that brokerage houses wishing
to do business through the curb would
do 1t through them over their estab-
lished lines, which terminated some
times in separate stations. and some
times in monitor switchboards.
One man on the inside often attend
ed a dozen or more telephones on calls
coming in through monitor boards and
over separate private lines. He took
quotations over the wire and signalled
from the window to his teammate in
the street to buy or sell, whichever
the case might be.
Moving the curb market indoors was
big job from a telephone standpoint,
however. SO far 1t has involved about
1900 orders on the part of the COM
mercial department Each order means
