On seeing the play Mr.. Harris's con-
fidence faded away and he decided not to
continue its performances. The original
believers in the work bought back his
interest. which he was quite ready to
sell. 1t was found possible to mount the
play at the Longacre, and Mr.. Harris
once more-recovered sufficient faith In
the work to buy back his original share
in what has now been called "The
Woman Who Laughed"
No less known an impresario than Lee
Shubert also invested in the enterprise,
as he felt that the novelty of the theme
and It's unusual manner of presenta-
ton might interest the public. 1t was In
that way that the new play reached the

CLIFFSIDE'S HOPE IN TODAY'S CAMEAT
RUTHERFORD, BIG BOSS OF NOR. N. J.
FOOTBALL GO & HELP
BY coRkEY

opportunity knocks but once" All
Clifside Park high school enthusiasts
are considering that old adage seri-
ously today. This afternoon the small
fighting unit which is representing that
school on the gridiron this season
travels to Rutherford. There they
clash with the strong Blue and White
eleven. That team has been the ''big
boss of the Northern New Jersey In
terscholastlc League football situation
for many months. Cliffside has been the
runner-up on three occasions. and this
year they are anxious to turn the
tables.
rutherford with n squad as large as
ever Is not as strong as their follow
ers try to make others believe. A
team which lost as many experienced
stars as they did is weak. And they
surely are respecting the strength Of
Chifside to such an extent that they
bothered to detail two scouts to In
wade these parts last Tuesday after
noon to watch the Crimson and Black
90 through its PAGES and get what dope
they could on Coach Gemme's squad
But they were courteously asked to
leave and they did.
Cliffside did not appear to have IL
chance on paper when the season
opened, but how things have changed.
The coach had three regulars to start
work with and out Of green material
he has accomplished wonders
In every game they have played,
Cliffside has played the better foot
ball. They We're desaatesl only at
Bloomfield. But no can say that
they did not play better than the win
ners.
Today the Cliffslde team has
chance to do something big and every
resident of the borough has chance
to help them. Rutherford fears the
band of warriors that showed up
Ridgewood, Hackensack and Engle-
wood on successive Saturdays. Let
every able bodied Cliffside man. wom-
an and child invade Rutherford today.
The High School Athletic Associa-
tion has arranged for special troleys
to leave Palisade Junction at 80 p.
III. Every one with an auto should go
and take his friends, whether they
Fnow football or not.
Plenty Of rooters with plenty of
noise Is the one big thing needed. A
victory today by the small troupe of
moleskn wearers from Clffside Park
means great recognition all over the
state. 1t Is chance or life time
and we know that Coach Gemme,
Captain Borrelli and every one of the
football squad Is ready to accept when
Grandma Opportunity knocks. If you
don't know what to do or how to act
in making noise get in touch with Mr..
Sperling The school cheer leader will
do the rest. Remember IA victory to-
day gives Cliffside Park place on
the map which will never be wiped
out. Let everyone help the boys win.

Has Palisade Store

Daniel Reeves, the well-knowD chain
store grocer, has opened a branch
store at Palsade Junction, Palisade,
in the new Palisade Theatre corpora

choice selection of the best groceries,
and is in charge of F. Tonges, man

nicely labeled with the price of each
article in plain view. Mr.. Tonges said
this week:
"We are here to please all with
the best groceries. Our stock is of
the best, and we guarantee satisfac-
ton We will make deliveries fairly,
where the size of the purchase will
warrant it. We guarantee our butter,
eggs and all the goods we handle. We
keep nothing but the best Of every

Single Tax Ch'lenge
To N. J. Parties

There will again be an opportunity
for statewide vote for the Single
Tax in New Jersey with f. M. Caf-
fall for governor and William J..
Wallace for U. S. senator. Litera-
ture is being prepared for as wide
distribution as the means at hand
will provide.
Mr.. Caffall has addressed a letter
to all the New Jersey papers stating
briefly the principles for which he is
standing in this campaign.
We quote from the last of this COM
munication which has already found
its way into the columns of news
papers of the state:
'If elected / will cooperate with
the legislature to abolish taxes on
houses, factories, farm buildings, ma
chinery and property of every kind,
and to raise the necessary revenues
for the state from land values alone.
These are produced by the necessi-
ties of the population and not by the
efforts of any individual whatever.
Hence they belong, of right, to the
people"
To the old party candidate for
governor Mr.. Caffall has addressed
the following challenge, and copies
of this letter have been forwarded
to the newspapers of the state:
"Dear Sir-The Single Tax Party
of the State of New Jersey have
honored NE with the nomination for
governor at the coming eletcion.
"May l respectfully request that
the candidates for this office meet me
in debate at some time during the
campaign upon the question: What
is the vital issue before the citizens
of New Jersey in this campaign?'
Should you not find time for per-
sonal action in this matter, any
speaker nominated to represent your
candidacy would be acceptable to me
so far as | personally am concerned.
A revival of the ancient tournament
in the political field would surely in
terest the public. Single Tax Re-

Central Boulevard
Shows New Life

Central Boulevard, Palisade, has
recently taken on new Importance.
Always heretofore lowly, humble
roadway, it was never known by the
dignifed title of thoroughfare, but
just an untravelled country road
through West Palisade and on to
Palisades Park borough. The COM
pletion of the western spur to Route
10 highway, however, places Central
boulevard in new light, and it has
taken on something in the nature of
boom. Just over the brow of the
hill, west of the Johnson home, this
old roadway is now making advance
ments that should soon make it a
really important thoroughfare. A
number of attractive brick and stone
residences have been recently built,
mostly by the Italian residents, and
they would do credit to any COM
munity. A dozen or more blocks to
the west comes the more thickly set
tied portion of Palisades Park, an
intervening section being sure to be
built up before a great while.
Speaking to a resident well-known
in Palisade last Sunday, G. LAMA,
a we'll known brick and stone worker
who has many friends along the Hill
top section, he said:
eyes, this portion of Palisades
Park is improving rapidly. In a
few years you will not know it. And
besides, we are now better connected
with Palisade. Central boulevard is
we'll paved with fine roadway to
Palisades Park, and in addition we
now have Thirteenth street open,
running from Bluff road to Central
boulevard. This is a great help to
US over here. Will our celebrations
continue over here? Well, l should
imagine so. You know you cannot
keep the Italians from celebrating
with fireworks. 1t is part of their
happiness"
The completion of Central boule-
ward between Palisade avenue and
Anderson avenue makes new link
between these two avenues that will
greatly relieve traffic. This link, by
the way, is beauty, being of cement
surface over thirty feet wide, with a
white fence having heavy protecting
posts, with heavy rails for protecting
autos from the possibility of going
over the embankment.

Monkey Commits
Audacious Robbery

Mrs. Anna Hensler heard a noise
in the bedroom early Sunday while
she was washing the breakfast
dishes in the kitchen of her apart
ment at 436 Anderson avenue, Cliff
side, N. J. She went into the foom
and saw little monkey with a red
cap sitting on her dresser staring at
himself in the mirror. He did not
seem to be particularly we'll pleased
with what he saw because he was
chattering angrily and shaking his
fist at his reflection.
Mrs. Hensler rushed at the monkey
with her broom and cried "Scat!"
and the chattering little animal scat
ted with vigor and promptitude. He
seated rapidly out of the bedroom
and into the living room, and then
out of window and down a drain
pipe. 1t was not until he was half
way down that Mrs. Hensler, looking
from the window, saw that he car
ried something in his hand and had
something else around his neck. She
rushed into the street, but the mon-
key had jumped to the seat of a
horse drawn hurdy gurdy, the driver
had whipped up and vanished around
the corner.
When Mrs. Hensler returned to
the house she discovered that the
monkey had carried away with him
her pocketbook containing SIP in cash
and a photograph of her eighteen
year-old daughter in a bathing suit,
and around his neck he had worn
away a string of imitation pearls
valued at $25.
The police were not able to trace
the hurdy-gurdy.-New York Herald.

Honor Students
Of High School

AS announced in a previous issue of
The Palisadian, the honor roll students
OF Cliffside Park High School are an
nounced in these columns. The list
printed is that of those students with
an average not lower than 2 in any
subject on their schedule.
Every class in the high school is rep
resented by at least one student on the
list. OF these classes the seniors have
the edge. They have four on the list.
The juniors, with but one representa-.
tive, has the least of the honor stu
dents.
Athletics has always played an i'm
portant part in the history of this
school, and stiff scholastic regulations
are enforced on the members of the
various squads. Three members of the
football squad are honor students.
This speaks highly for the athletes. OF
the members of the football squad,
two of them are regulars. OF these
is one outstanding member, Joseph
Whelan, who is slated for AllNOrthern
New Jersey interschOlastic honors this
year. The others are Samuel LegattO
and Louis Korb. The latter is presi-
dent of the Athletic Association.
Below is given the list of thirteen
honor students:
Esther Anderson. Grace Adley, Ma
tilda Clayton, Lolita FflipsurcZ, Anna
Gomez, Louis Korb, Samuel LeGata,
Lillian Nagel, Archie Ruser, Thelma
Taterka, Louis TOmforde, Mary Yalois

Get "Moonshiner'

Steve Hansut of 261 Walker street,

violating the prohibition enforcement
act.
Captain Maglino and Officer Hoff-
man have been watching the Hansut
place for some time but until Tuesday
did not have anything on him. That
day unmistakable evidence was fur
nished by North Bergenite and the

entering the cellar they found an up-
tO-date still and two barrels of mash
all ready for production of the "for-

Leonia Auto Traffic
One of the Best Ever

Attention Of "The Palisadian'' has
been called to an article that APP
peared recently in this newspaper
rejecting upon the automobile traffic
in Leonia and telling how badly it is
handled 1t may be that such an
article appeared, but it has not been
located. However, be that as it may.
the editor desires personally to state
that from his own observation and eX-
perience in Leonia, there is no point
in Bergen county where automobile
traffic is handled one-half as we'll
At Grand and Central avenue on Sun
days there as many as 10000 auto
mobiles handled per day, as many as
800 per hour, which is pretty nearly
up TO New York City numbers Police
chief McCracken informs "The Pail
sadian'' that with all this tremendous
traffic they have not had a single ac-
cident. which is "A magnificent show
ing. How the charge was made Of
Indifferent work in Le0nia auto work
is mystery, because it is not in any
sense true. Many traffic officers Of
Jersey City, Hackensack and other
points have gone to Leonia to watch
chow it is DONE" they do it so ad-
mirably. No, there is nothing like
Leonia's traffic handling anywhere in
the country, size of the town consid-
cred, or looked at any other way. 1t

ing this statement.

w. GrantWood Lots
Reassessed Right

After many months of protracted
discussion, debate and delay, the per-
manent Assessment Commissioners
finally submitted recommendations to
the Board Of Council of Cliffside Park,
correcting the gross errors made in
assessing lots on Columbia avenue and
on Shannon Place in connection with
the Lawton avenue Improvement.
Lots on Columbia avenue were as
sessed $50 fiat, regardless of distance
from, or benefit derived from the i'm
proved street. On Shannon Place lots
were assessed from $50 to $50 increas-
ing in amount as they went from the
Improvement. The reductions there
fore ran from SO to $50 per lot
While these reductions resulted in
placing a larger amount on the Bor-
ough at large, the Commissioners were
very careful to state that it had been
their intention originally to place that
amount on the Borough, so that in
doing justice now the Borough has not
been burdened any more than they
had intended at the first.
AS to just where the mistake of the
original assessment was made, it is
hard to say, and of course is now
immaterial.
The West Grantwood Taxpayers
Association has shown it's value un-
questionably as an instrument for OBJ
tanning justice and redress for prop
erty owners in its section, for it was
only through the persistence of its
efforts that justice was done TO the
owners here involved.

The Public Service car tracks along

ment was down in Paiisade avenue
where the road will cross that ave-
nue.. but the lowered tracks became a
necessity. 1t will greatly help the
