Cl.fFSIDE HIGH AGAIN IN RUTGERS
DEBATES; ENGLEW00D, HACKENSACK,
T0BE CONTESTED FIRST AT THE START

Cliffside Park High School has re-
entered the Interscholastic Debating
League conducted under the auspices
of Rutgers College and will be seen
and heard on the platform in series
of debates with some of the strongest
schools in this section of the state.
Joseph A. Preston, who last year
coached the successful debating team
which represented Clffside Park, will
again have charge of the work in the
local school and this fact bespeaks an
excellent possibility of the home team
repeating its successes of past years.
Mr.. Preston attended the conven-
ton for the improvement of public
speaking held at Rutgers College Sat
urday, January s, and reported very
enthusiastic gathering. At the con-
ference, the constitution and bylaws
adopted by the league seven years ago
were again ratified and the work of
making arrangements for the coming
debates among the schools was begun.
The state was divided into groups
of schools according to geographical
line.
Then the groups were rearranged ac-
cording to a relative standard of
equality and from all this groups of
four teams each were decided upon
to begin the actual debates on March
is.
Cliffside Park finds itself in the
group with Englewood, Hackensack
and Ridgewood and on March IS the
first of the series of debates will be
held. While Cliffside is settling the
issue with Engl ew0nd Haekensaek
will debate Ridgewood so that on
March Is two of these four schools
will be eliminated from the contest,
etc, to the end of the season. At
later dates the winners of the initial
debates will meet, so that by a proc
ess of elimination the championship
of district will be determined and
warded with loving cup suitably in
scribed.
The question for the first debate
between Cliffside and Englewood is !:
Resolved, that the principle of the
open shop should be established and
maintained in American industries"
Cliffside will present the affirmative
side while Englewood will defend the
negative.

Drunk Auto Man
Given 90 Days

Paul Lightfoot, colored. was arrested
in Englewood Saturday for being
drunk and running into another car
while himself under the influence of
liquor. He was driving recklessly in
Engle street when he hit and smashed
the car of J. E. Bloxom Mounted
police were notified and took Lightfoot
in tow. He had an unfinished flask
on his person, and this, in addition
to the fact that he had been twice be-
fore arrested in Tenafiy for the same
cause, led Judge Blankenhorn to hand
him a sixty days sentence in Jail for
his frolic. A man who is fool enough
to drive an automobile while drinking
should be given longer term than
sixty days-and for third offense,
especially.

~ E q 80 sss hss II st,ssorta.s 81 In sus-
trial enterprise that few people know
about. 1t is the Photographic labora-
tory of Silas w. Nourse in the Smith
building at Palisade Junction. Mr..
Nourse has long been an expert at pho
Biography, and some years ago gave up
his former business in Paisale and de-
voted his time to X-ray work in New
York. He changed this over year
ago and is now engaged in doing spe-
cial hospital work, making exposures
OF operations on patients, besides
many other things related to surgery,
book work, etc. The establishment is
one of the most complete in or near
New York, and the leading hospitals
all call on Mr.. Nourse for a kind of
work few others can deliver. In order
to accommodate the business which
has grown rapidly, large additions had
to be made to the west side of the
Smith building. The dark rooms and
other space demanded making this
necessary. At the present time Mr.
Nourse is so busy filling orders that
he is forced to work most nights of
each week. He employs two other
men and a helper besides himself and
Mrs. NOurse is very useful member
of the firm. A Palisadian man was

FREEH0LDERS WON'T FIGHT 1OC.
fare, GIVE REASON THAT WHOLE
COUNTY IS NOT TO Be AFFECTED

Director William III. Roberts of the
Bergen County Board of Freeholders
Thursday submitted the following
statement in answer to the request for
an explanation why the board will not
cooperate with the several municipaIi-
ties anxious to fight the Public Service
In its application to the Public Utili-
ties Commission for 10-cent fare:
ITO the Municipalities of Bergen
County:
1.-The Board of Freeholders upon the
receipt of communication from the
borough of East Paterson, requesting
them to appear before the Public Utili-
ty Commission and oppose the Public
Service Railway Company's applica-
ton for an increase in trolley fare
from to 10 cents, after very careful
elaboration, and after giving the SUBJ
ject serious thought and consideration,
from the angle of the taxpayer, whom
we represent, decided by a unanimous
vote that the Board of Freeholders of
the county of Bergen does not feel that
it is within its province or jurisdiction
to act as so requested
"The board further suggested that
East Paterson might cooperate with
other boroughs and municipalities in
the employment of counsel, experts,
etc, to oppose the raise.
''The Board of Freeholders repre-
sent the people of Bergen county, some
100000 souls. We administer the af-
fairs of the county for the benefit of
the people and county at large. ANY
expense incurred in any fight on be-
half of one section of the county
should not be tax burden upon an
other section not deriving a benefit.
Thus ia the trolley fore fight yery
ly interested
"That in cooperative effort by
those municipalities affected, for ex-
ample, say &c. should they each have
a delegate or representative attend a
hearing before the Public Utility Com
mission, it would be far more effective
and 80 times as impressive.
"The Board of Freeholders are also
reminded of their recent fight on be-
half of the people of the county against
the Hackensack Water Company. This
protest cost the county several thou
sand dollars without success, and the
board was subject to some severe criti-
cism from certain districts.
sit is an easy matter to pass the
buck to the county, and then lose all
interest, and in addition criticise the
county for failure"

Boys Win, Girls
Lose at Engl'd

The local High Schools varsities
and met the girls and boys basket
ball teams of that place, the boys win
ming by the score of 81 to IA and the
girls coming out at the short end of a
10 to 10 score.
The Englewood girls proved too much
for Miss Thayer's proteges. Girl for
girl, the Englewoodians were much
larger, and, although much smaller,
the Cliffside girls showed much more
pep and better guarding. 1t was next
to an impossibility for the local girls
to pass the ball down to their own
basket. The girls are to be compli-
mented for their fine work and spirit.
The boys, however, gave pleasure
to the many Cliffside rooters who ac-
companied the team.
The game was an exhibition of clean,
fast playing, although it was acknowl-
edged by many that the referee SEEM
ed slow.
Cliffside was trailing at the end of
the first half, when with put u min
utes to go, they Seemed to be suddenly
aroused from a slumber. They went
at their opponents with a whirlwind
of speed The, Englewood team was
so amazed they were lost.
One basket for Cliffside, another.
still another came in those last II
minutes of play The Crimson and
Rlonly coupht fhair LEADING nnpOnantS
and then passed them. When the TIM
er's whistle sounded Cliffside was lead
ing by seven points.

TRAFFIC JAM IN WASHINGTON
 WORST SEEN IN MANY YEARS

Washington, Nov 11.-Whle thou sands were paying their tribute to the Unknown American at Arlington today, almost as many more were fighting hope lessly to make their way to the amphi- theatre through the worst traffic jam the national capital has seen in many years
 The tie-up, which reached it's greatest density on Highway bridge across the Potomac. compelled cabinet members and major generals to go part of the way on foot, and almost prevented President Harding from reaching the amphitheatre in time to take part in the two minutes of silent tribute Twice before it reach ed the bridge the presidents limousine had to mount the curb and circle through the grass plots of Potomac park and the needles eye of the bridge itself was threaded only by the assistance of a fly ing squadron of special policemen.
 Police officials blamed the army which had nominal charge of the Armistice day program, and the army in turn blamed the police. As a result of the argument not only many of the general public but some hiTh officials and foreign digLi- taries missed the amphitheatre services | entirely and sat In their automobiles for hours, unable to proceed or turn back 1 Along with many others. Secretary | Hughes deserted his automobile al the Drlflge, made his way forward on foot l through the neck of the bottle and was picked up on the Virginia side by a more | fortunate motorist. Meantime, a tie-up l of almost equal proportions was on at 1 Aqueduct bridge the only other means of travel between Washington and Ar lington Boathouses and canoe clubs at the Aqueduct crossing were besieged by those who had desnaired of getting ] through the bridge and were battling for
 an opportunity to beg or buy way over
 by water.
 Stalled electric cars complicated the
 jam at the Highway bridge, and a half 1 dozen sightseeing buses and army 1 trucks helped to make the unscrambling l process more difficult. Railway officials e9tnasted that from o'clock upwards | of 10 900 tickets had been sold for pas sage over the river, but 1t was nearly
 noon before the cars began moving
 The troubles of those who were tryine
 to get everybody in his place on time
 were multiplied by an army lieutenant
 who had been given charge of an inlpor.

SETTLEMENT OF NEW YORK
 MILK STRIKE HOPELESS

New York, Nov. 11.-Health Commis- sioner Copeland today gave up hope of effecting an amicable settlement of the milk handlers strike, and announced that the efforts of his office henceforth will be turned toward insuring consum- CTS pure, fresh milk. He warned of criminal action awaiting any distributing company purveying stale, or impure milk.
 T can see no use of further efforts to get the companies to meet their men," Dr. Copeland said. "The controversy has gone by the hope of adjustment"
 The distributors, on the other hand armed with a supreme court injunction restraining the strikers from any act of violence, announced that they ex- pect to restore normal delivery service without the aid of their striking employ es by early next week.
