Great Storm Hits
Hilltop Section

The great storm of last Wednesday
which swept the Atlantic Coast, was
one of the most severe that ever struck
this section. In many respects it was
about the worst. The wind recorded
100 miles an hour Beginning about
siX-thirty in the morning, it showed,
Sleeted, then rained to beat the band,
with wind that turned things inside
out. The great metal smOkeStack on
the power house at Edgewater, of the
Public Service, was snapped in half
and came down with a crash. Many
trees and branches, also, toppled over
in the Hilltop section. There was great
CONSERVATION among several house,
wives who were alone in their homes
over the wind and the falling of limbs
from the trees that came down with a
thud, many of them striking houses,
though doing little damage The two
and-ahalf inches of snow, that finally
turned into sleet, then into a driving
rain, left streets and sidewalks in a
terrible condition, and by Thursday
morning things were in an awful mess.
The storm brought icy cold in its wake,
and by Thursday morning things
were as bad as could be, the sidewalks
being not only impossible to clear, but
unavailable as we'll About the only
thing that would clear the sidewalks
would be dynamite or INT.

five reels. The dancing was preceded
by grand march in which numbers

Electric Sign On
Clif-Whose Is It?

state highway condemned part of the
lot for Route No. 10. Mr.. Sibley
bought the triangle left after the high
way took its toll with the thought that
some day he would be able to build an
architectural studio there. No one
has ventured any information on who
is building the electric sign, so the
matter remains a mystery. 1t is, of
course, against the restrictions to
erect anything like this sign on the
cliff front or elsewhere in Palisade.

E. Coe Gets $4,000
In Slander Suit

The slander suit of Elmer J S. Coe,
a former cashier of the First National
Bank of Edgewater, against Robert
e. Winters, former member of the
board of directors of that institution,
and both living in Leonia, resulted in
the jury returning a verdict in favor
of Mr.. Coe for $1,000
The action was brought for $780,
600 on account of alleged remarks
made by Mr.. Winters, in which he
characterized C0e as "crook" in
connection with his action while hold
ing the above position in the bank.
Mr.. Winters denied the accusation,
so far as Coe was concerned, but it
was made in connection with the deal
ings of another individual who had
business transactions with the bank
in which considerable money was lost
The remark was made to IL friend
Of Coe, named DeGraff, who in turn
told it to the official body of the
church with which Mr.. Coe was con-
nected, and naturally the news was
thus spread around until Mr.. Coe
heard it. The case dates back to No
vember 6, 1920. while Mr.. DeGraff and
Mr.. Winters We're discussing the cleo
tion of President Harding.
1t is very likely that{an appeal will
be taken from the award.-Record

MAYOR CAD|EN GIVEN A RECEPTION
AT HIGH SCHOOL THAT MADE HIM
ACKNOWLEDGED man OF THE HOUR

The reception rendered to Mayor
John c. Cadien at the high school on
Saturday evening is to be recorded as
The greatest social event of the bor-
ough held up to the present time and
one that will no doubt maintain its
place as the gala event in the bor-
oughs history. The large high school
auditorium was packed, every seat
in the orchestra and balcony being
occupied. Many were standing and
the late arrivals were piling in when
the little mayor was accompanied
by Dennis Mahoney and George l..
Spence to the seat reserved for him
in the front of the room.
The hilarious shouts and applause
ceased only when the orchestra played
'The Star Spangled Banner"
Then Professor Preston presented
Mr.. Cadien, after telling of the
mayors political history, eulogizing
him. Mayor Cadien responded in that
calm and undaunted voice that has
won for him SO many friends and the
ADMIRATION that has elected him on
six successive occasions.
The vaudeville program, consisting
of five headliners, was the finest ever
offered in this section and the eight
hundred odd guests present applauded
all the acts The motion picture was
one of the latest releases, it being
"GetIRich- Quick Wallingford." This
was also thoroughly enjoyed.
Dancing in the gymnasium was en-
joyed to the tunes of Fischer's Pali-
SadeS Amusement Park Orchestra.
A grand march was conducted by
Philip Smith and the leader was Mayor
Cadien, accompanied by Mrs. Cadien.
ssldny prominent people in evening
dress attended the affair and all went
home greatly pleased. Caterer Cohn
served refreshments.

Pittsburgh Plan to
Be Tried in Ft. Lee

n. j.
Mr.. Carles T. Logan, The Palisadian,
Palisade, n. j.:
Dear Mr.. Logan.-I enclose pam
phlet issued, as you will see, by the
Allied Boards of Trade of Allegheny
Pa, which shows a practical applica-
tion of the Single Tax theory and you
will notice gives at the end of the
pamphlet an exact statement of the
difference the Single Tax would make
on the average house if it were in
force to its fullest extent. Even the
real estate interests approve the sys-
TEN, and why would it not benefit Fort
Lee?
We will hold a meeting at my house
on Thursday, January u, at p. m.
to organize the County Committee of
the Single Tax party to push this great
reform. When organized we are going
to call on the community bodies of
Bergen county to take up and recon-
mend the adoption of this system.
You will see the character of the wit
nesSeS to the result of the "Pittsburgh
Plan"-Heinz Pickle Company, the
American Bridge Company, Waverly
Oil Works, etc.
We would like to call public meet
ing at the schoolhouse if it is permits
sible, or some similar meeting place
The time is ripe to call attention to
our absurd and antiquated system of
tax levies and the necessity of a
change especially as we are now faced
with the task of raising about $4,000
for garbage disposal plant, a sewage
system for West Palisade that will
cost another $4,000 and other expen-
sive but absolutely necessary public
works. What is the fairest and the
best way to raise this money? That
is the question for the citizens of Fort
Lee to answer. l am, dear sir, yours
respectfully,
EDWARD NJ. CAPPALL.

BRoADCAsTING IN ASIA

From Telescoping Time with Radio,
by Waldemar Kaempffert, in ASIA
Magazine,
A single Asiatic high-powered sta
ton can radlate song and speech
| over an area of thousands of square
miles: its waves can penetrate mill
lions IF homes. dozen stations
would meet the needs of all. China
six of all India; fifty, strategicaIy
located, of all Asia. Station can be
linked with station by telephone
wire the voice currents transmitted
by wire can be switched to the broad
casting transmitters and flashed into
space as ETHEREAL waves. Broadcas ting
material can be picked up wherever it
is to be found. The orator. the mu-
stefan, may address himself tI a con-
tinent, his voice sent forth from half
dozen stations at the same time,
even though he be seated in his own
home.
In thus reckoning with mass-ap-
peal. we must not forget that the RAJ
dio receiver of today bears about the
same relation to the receiver of to-
morrow as The Quilt pen bears to the
typewriter. Almost any prediction of
the technical future of radio may be
fulfilled. Even now we have receis-
ers of very short range that can be
carried in a satchel or even in the
pocket. For the first time in the
history of big scientific exploration
in the heart OF Asia Roy Chapman
Andrews, leader Of the third Asiatic
expedition of the American Museum
of Natural History in cooperation
with the American Asiatic associa-,
tion and Asia, used a wireless re-
ceiving outfit. Bayard Colgate. oper-
ator, got official time from Peking
for making scientific observations.
Who knows but within the next 10
years it may even be- possible to tap
the ether for Paris opera in the
Cobb desert? Ships 1000 miles at
set have heard the music played in
Newark. If this is already feasible
with instruments admittedly crude.
what may be expected 80 or 100 years
hence? New York will listen to Rome
London may irradiate the world with
financial and political news; Pata-
gonians and Eskimos, Eungarians
and CalIfornians, Norwegians and
Beers may rub elbows electrically.
With powerful broadcasting sta
tions of its own, directed by educated
natives. Asia will in turn attempt to
reach European and American minds
And by this projection Of thought
the abyss that now separates the
Orient from the Occident will be
bridged. Engineering has helped to
standardize European points OF view
