You Won't Believe
This Is Possible

They We're talking about selling a
piece of land in Fort Lee the other
day-a local man and an outsider who
owned il in the borough.
How'd you like to own that land?"
asked the owner
"Well, we have talked it over be-
fore, haven't WEI" said the bidder.
Eyes, but you never wanted to pay
anything for it. What will you give
now?"
mot as much as / offered you be-
fore"
"Why not? Isn't it worth just as
much now as then?'
"No, not by a long shot
"What has happened?'
"Oh, well,' said the bidder, "you
know we are going to lose our moving
picture business before long and Fort
Lee will be as fiat as founder"
"You think SO? What makes you
feel that way?'
'Why, / am in on the inside. I
know what I'm talking about"
''Well, | don't believe it, and just
for that l am going to hold on to this

property and you could not advance
your old price 100 per cent and get
it" shot back the owner.

Another recent incident = last
week, in fact:
A Palisadian representative talking
to big New York movie man.
"Do you happen to know anything
about this report about Fort Lee los
ing its moving picture enterprises"
he was asked.
81 don't quite get you. Fort Lee is
not going to lose its moving picture
business. Why should it? True, one
or two concerns occasionally pick up
and leave for other points, but what
has that to do with the general propO-
sition of Fort Lee losing her moving
picture interests? Nothing whatever.
What Fort Lee has in the way of
studios are permanent investments,
and if one film company moves out
another comes in and takes its place.
Do you know of many idle plants in
Fort Lee at the present time? But if
there were any, or many, they would
soon fill up again. Why, my dear sir,
there are too many millions of dollars
represented in these Fort Lee motion
picture enterprises for anyone to talk
like that. Outside of transportation

PALISADES AMUSEMENT PARK

If the syncOpatiOn of Jazz sets your
toes atingling, and your lips awhistling,
and your soul Graves to "step right
out, it seems that Nicholas NJ. Schenck
has provided exactly what you want,
as high in the air overlooking the
Hudson river he offers as one of the
chief features of Palisades Amusement
Park regular dance palace. 1t is
without a doubt the finest dancing
floor in this section
A particularly interesting feature at
tached to this dancing pavilion is the
splendid orchestra conducted by Prof.
Louis Fisher. The same organization
which won such distinction for Fisher
at the Hotel AstOr, New York, has
been kept intact for the season at the
amusement park.
AS the free vaudeville and circus
stage is located directly opposite from
the dance hall, this featured entertain
ment may be viewed between dances.
The vaudeville is given every aftrnoon
and evening. AS an added attraction
on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
display of fireworks is offered.

Use More Coconut Fat.

For many years past the worlds
production of animal fats has been
steadily diminishing. Lack Of such
fats spelled famine In Europe during
the war, when great quantities Of
them were withdrawn from human use
to make glycerin for high explosives.
Even now, and in this country, there
is an insufficiency Of animal fats Gas
indicated by the price Of butter) and
to make good the shortage coconut
oil is imported in enormous quanti-
ties. During the last year 345,737, 913
pounds of this oil were brought into
the United States.
The oil Is largely used in cooking
fat, but also in the manufacture Of
nut butter, candles, soap and cos
metics. 1t Is said to be an excellent
substitute for cod liver oil, being high
ly digestible and with the advantage
Of an agreeable flavor. At ordinary
temperature coconut oil Is a white,
butterlike solid.
The new meats" are dried In the
sun before shipment from the tropical
countries, where coconuts are grown.
In this shape the material is called
copra. The oil Is extracted by power
full hydraulic presses, the yield being
IS to 70 per cent Of the weight Of the
copra.-Kansas City Star.

NOT AN ERA OF YOUNG MEN
Idea That Present Age IL Extraor-
binary In That Respect 10 Shown
as an Error.

We are given to thinking Of this era
Of ours as the era Of young men, but
the average age Of Washington's cab
met was under 40 years, observes the
Villager, Katonah. N. Y. Hamilton
was thirty-two; Jefferson, forty-six;
Randolph, thirty-six; General Knox,
thirty-nine, and Samuel Osgood, forty
one. What Is it persuades us to the
notion that leaders Of earlier times
were always older than the men hold
ing the corresponding offices today?
What explains the boast that our
own generation Is the first to discover
and dispose Of the horrible waste in
volved in middle ageY" Is the i'm
pulse just the contempt Of today for
yesterday? Or are we misled by the
powdered wigs Of the earlier time? ut

in its infancy, is far from being in it's

MOVEMENT CARRIED TOO FAR
Medical journal Points Out Grave
Danger in the Increasing Craze
for PsychoanaIysis.

Recently, relates the editor Of the
Journal Of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, the minister Of a prominent
church In Chicago was asked by the
head of the social work department to
put his approval on the establishment
Being in doubt, he conferred with sew
eral medical men of his congregation.
Finally a neurolOgist settled the mat
ter by saying: "By all means have it.
1t should prove very popular. Half
the congregation is already crazy and
lum."
The Jest was not wholly Jest. Peo-
pie are paying too much attention now
adays to their minds. An abnormal
interest In the workings Of ones own
mind produces either an interpretive
philosopher or common nut" When
the interest is related more or less
distinctly to a concealed but neverthe-
less obvious fascination for cogitation
on things sexual, it has elements Of
danger. Physicians are beginning to
wonder where the normal interest Of
the layman in these subjects ends and
the scope Of the psychiatrist COM
mences. We are flooded with books
on the subject by lay psychoanalysts /;
the movies picture it; the theaters
dramatic 1t; the churches have lee
lures on 1t. In the not too distant fu-
ture this psychoanalytic craze, If it
continues, will make the medical
psychatrist a very busy man.

Qxerheated Houses.

Atmospheric conditions in homes.
say specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, are fire.
quently not maintained as they should
be. Houses are often Overheated. In
most cases practically no thought is
given to humidity. or air moistening.
Physicians insist that an overheated
house is unhealthful, and that colds,
sore throats, coughs, and the tendency
to he nervous and feverish may be at
tributed to continually breathing air

A WORD ABOUT THE ASSESSOR
High Assessments Do Not Necessarily
Mean Hig Taxes


Our friend, Income Assessor P. Fl.
Knutson, wishes the Censor TO assist
him in helping to correct certain in
correct impression which seems to be
harbored by the majority of people
namely, that high assessments mean
high taxes, and that the assessor
levies the taxes. Strange as it may
seem at first thought, if the assessed
valuation of a certain town be doubled
that town does not pay a cent more
tax. In fact, the nearer 100 per cent
true value that property is assessed
the more possible it is to make an
equitable assessment. The euualiz-
ing system by which the true value of
property is arrived at from sales and
inspections absolutely prevents any
town from paying anything but its
just share, no matter how high its as
sessment may be; and there is not one
argument in favor of property being
assessed one cent below its fair selling
price.
So don't complain when the assessor
raises your assessment to selling val
ne, providing of course that he does
the same to everyone else in the town.
And don't accuse him of making your
edACc AtASHCAs Lit biOHCy WHICH 10
voted by the legislature, the county
and town boards and at school dis
trict meetings makes your taxes. All
the assessor can do is to establish the
proportion of the tax you pay. If by
his good Judgment he establishes the
same relative value on all the proper
ty in his district then absolute Justice
is done to all, no matter whether that
value be half what it should be or
twice what it should be- The income
assessor will see that the true value
is put upon all property, and that is
the basis upon which the amount of
money to be raised by each town is
figured through its ratio to the coun-
ty total.
As an example: The total tax to
be raised by the county we will say
is 100000. A certain towns true
value is per cent of the county's true
value. 1t must raise $4,000. Sup
pose the assessor has assessed the
towns property at true value, which
we will assume to be $2,500,000. The
rate will be one per cent. If the as
SCISSOR has assessed the town at half
its true value then the rate must be
doubled to raise the s25 900. If he
has placed the valuation twice too
high then the tax rate will be lowered
to one-haf per cent to produce the
S25 600 tax.
