ROCKY FORD WINS
DEBATE CHAMPIONSHIP

Boulder. Colo. May 2s-The
Rocky Ford high school debating
team. won the Colorado state
championship debate Friday night.
May IS. at the University OF Colo
RADIO by unanimous decision OF the
judges on the question; Resolved.
that the United States should grant
the Philippine islands their indepen-
dence.
Their opponents. the Hotchkiss
high school debating team. compos-
ed Of three girls upheld the affir-
NATIVE side. Both teams had won
all elimination contests over fifty
six other high schools In the State
High School Debating League.
Contending that the Philippine
government is stable. the affirma-
tive asserted that the native Off
cials OF the islands administer ef-
ficiently to the needs OF the people
besides meeting all their interna-
tional obligations. The negative
opposed this stand with arguments
that the Philippines are in a serious
economic condition: that their edu-
cational facilities are deplorable;
that the courts Of Justice are unfit:
and that II granted their indepen-
dence the Philippines would be
powerless to resist aggression from
outside nations.

TRENTON, Aug. st became
known here today that the physician
to whom Governor Silzer offered the
post Of Commissioner of Labor Is DIR.

Of Paterson and member of the
Democratic state committee from
Paterson.
The doctor Is at present in Europe

skillful physician and is reputed to
have played an important part in
the stopping of the influenza at
Camp Dix during the war. Cover
nor Silzer yesterday said hat he had
offered the labor job to a physician
who had declined, but would not
say who it was.
Mcbride trains politically with the
Democratic faction in Passaic coun-

THEATRES
Strand Attraction

Finding just the right locality for
the filming of a picture sometimes
presents problems to a director which
at first appear insurmountable. Pic
ture the plight of Director Allen
Holubar, of First National Pictures,
when he was handed the script of
Islander the Woman" on a warm
sunshiny California day. Imagine
the problems that confronted him
when he found that the locality
needed was one of snow, sleet, ice,
forests and cities more European
than American.
His first thought was of a suitable
star. Because Of her work in "Once
to Every Woman" Hearts of HUI
manity" and Hurricanes Gall
Holubar selected Dorothy Phillips
for the stellar role. He wanted an
actress who could portray the emo
tons of a woman when she realized
thai her most priceless heritage
her fair name-had been ruthlessly
stolen. He found this woman in
Dorothy Phillips.
The next problem was the selec-
ton Of a stretch of country wherein
were to be found snow, sleet, ice.
wind and forests. His scouts de-
cided upon Truckee. a little town not
far from Lake Tahoe, nesting amid
the snow on the California-Nevada
frontier.
1t was a memorable occasion when
the cast of Islander the Woman
left Los Angeles in a special train
for Truckee, Cal. The train con-
of eight sleepers and a dining
car, several fiat cars loaded with
equipment and several special cars
containing equipment that was nee
essary to lighting and the proper
Photographic effects.
This triumph of photography and
acting will be shown at the Strand
Theatre for three days, beginning
tomorrow. Islander the Woman" is
presented by a superb cast and por-
trays a story replete with heart
throbs and soul-stirring interest. 1t
is considered to be one of the stellar
First National releases of the year.

.45 LESS FARMERS At OPEN
MARKET THAN YEAR AGO

placed in a section by themselves
and this arrangement brought few
complaints except from the buck
sters.
Last year the hucksters were
forced to 90 business on market
days on tho tract of market property
north of New Brunswick avenue,
the farmers having the section be-
tween Smith street and New Bruins
wick avenue Last winter the snow
was so deep in the portion generally
used by the hucksters they could
not get in and Mr.. loft gave them
permission to use the part of the
farmers territory Just south of New
Brunswick avenue with the under
standing that they go back to their
other space in the spring.
When the spring came and Mr..
loft instructed the hucksters To e
turn to their original space north
Of New Brunswick avenue in order
that the farmers might have their
old space again, the hucksters pro-
tested SO vigorously and argued so
much with the aldermanic market
committee, they were finally permit
ted to remain in the midst of the
farmers. AS a result some of the
farmers suffered by losing their old
spaces and they were forced to go
north of New Brunswick avenue and
use the section which was originally
allotted to the hucksters.
The present layout of the market
finds the farmers from Smith street
to Fayette street. Then the buck
sters hold forth from Fayette street
to New Brunswick venue. The re-
naming farmers are found north
of New Brunswick avenue while the
poultry men are north If these farm
ers. Although the group of buck
sters have been permitted to park"
between the two farmers divisions.
no individual huckster can conduct
a stand or place his wagon between
two farmers and thus pose as a
farmer.
