YOUNG GIRL, DRUCCED,
FOUND ON BLUFF ROAD
Discovered in Time to Save Life,
Family Quite Prominent;
Name Withheld.

Last Monday night young lady,
apparently under the influence of
drugs was found by Mr.. Mullin in a
semi-conscious condition in the snow
just north of Anderson avenue on
Bluff road.
Mr.. Mullin recently moved into a
house in this locality and was on his
way home when he discovered the
girl. He tried to get her to the juno
ton to get help from 'Sha police. but
because of her helpless condition
called to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Sibley,
who were about to enter their home
on the corner of Edgewood lane and
Bluff road. The Sibleys responded to
the call. took the girl in their home
and called DR.. Ahearn of Grantwood
who brought DR.. Gallery of Weehaw-
ken who happened to be with him
at the time.
The doctors examination revealed
the fact that the young lady was un-
der the influence of dope and had
she not been discovered by Mr.. Null
lin would have in all probability died
in the course of an hour or two.
The girl later admitted she had
taken about 70 grains of viralin and
gave her name which is withheld
from publication.
She was sent to the Englewood
Hospital for treatment

Rev. Donaldson's
Sermon Interesting

On Sunday, February IL, the Rev.
George Donaldson of Edgewater
Heights preached very interesting
sermon in the Union Church of Pali-
,sade to a congregation large in spite
of the storm.
Taking as his subject THE Lord of
Hosts" the speaker emphasized the
natural unity of all peoples under one
God. From biology and the Bible he
drew evidence that benevOlence and
interdependence had played greater
part in higher development than
force and independence.
It was his faith that America could
become the Messiah of the nations if
she did not allow good thing, like
feeding the hungry, to take the place
of the best Her best was to become
more closely identified with the suf
ferings of the world by joining fel
lowship of nations. This ought ye
to have done and not to leave the
other undone." In this connection
he mentioned non-partisan associa
ton for the creation of sentiment in
favor of such movement. The lead
ing men of the nation, he affirmed
were enrolling in this association
and such was a great augury tina
America would assume her role il
the world.

was given its second reading. The

third and final reading it was passed
and ordered published according to
law
c. Lane, manager of the Palisadian.
appealed to the Council to publish
this ordinance in the Palisadian, call
ing their attention to the fact that the
purpose of advertising any ordinance,
budget, request for bids, etc, was to
bring it to the attention of the tax
payers, not simply to satisfy the re-
quirements of the law. He further
explained that he had no intention of
belittling or under rating the value of
his competitive paper, but it was OBJ
vious that many citizens read the Palis-
adian who do not read the Borough
News and vice versa and felt it was
a wise expenditure of public money.
Councilman Siegrist explained that
it would be inexpedient to incur the
additional expense of advertising this
particular ordinance inasmuch as the
date for a public hearing had passed.
admitting the reasonable features of
Mr.. Lanes argument suggested it
would be a good plan if it were the
first reading which is followed by
public hearing.
The reading of the minutes were

Mrs. Knorr in Let
ter Explains Case

The following letter was received
by the Palisadian last week:
February s, 1928.
To the Editor:
In last weeks edition of your pa
per you wrote an article about my
husband, Mr.. F. j. Knorr. | regret
that you did not interview those di-
rectly concerned, and not my brother,
Dr. Knorr of West Grantwood, who
knew nothing of the case except
through the New York papers.
The paper from which you reprint
the case did not state facts as Mr..
Knorr was not given five days in the
workhouse; he served no time at all
when it was learned that he had put
one washer in the turnstile machine
and not two, and that was dropped
in in error, as it was one of four that
he had thrown into his pocket after
completing a repair job the previous
day for party in Grantwood. Had
he intended to do such a thing
know he would never have done it
while I was travelling with him, espe-
cially as | am helping him to regain
his footing in the business world.
1t seems to me that the entire story
published was gotten from the man
responsible for his arrest, as Mr..
Knorr is not an inventor of device
which prevents sellers of gasoline
from cheating motorists, but has in
vented hose coupling, of which
enclose a circular, and it was one OF
these circulars the detective took.
In fairness to us, will you please
either publish this letter or write an
article stating the trv facts? What
ever you do will be fully appreciated
and l thank you in anticipation.
feel sure you are believer in fair
play and justice.
Very truly yours,

Rid of Rats, But
Now It's Cats That
Worry Gutenberg

Occasionally one of the communi-
ties on this side of the Hudson steps
into the limelight of publicity, and
this time it is our neighboring bor-
ough Gutenberg.
A recent issue of the New York
Globe prints the following:
Rats! They fought the dogs and
chased the cats,
And bit the babies in their cradles
They licked the soup from the cook S
own ladies',
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
Made nests inside mems Sunday has,
And even drown the women's chats
BY their shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats"
Pied Pipe.
But that was in Hamelin and not in
Gutenberg, N. J.
The town across the Hudson had
no Pied Piper, but until few days
ago every piece of cheese that found
its way there provided a carnival for
the rats.
But, as has been stated before, Gut
tenberg faced the crisis nobly and got
rid of the rats.
This was accomplished by the i'm
portation of hundreds of stray cats
from all over northern New Jersey
their own, for soon thousands of their
companions came limping into town,
where they were treated as distin-
guished guests. They were nursed
back into fighting trim until they
were able to take on the rats.
The rats lasted about forty-eight
hours after the cats opened fire. 1t
was a massacre. Their bodies were
strewn all over cellars, pantry floors,
barns, streets and sidewalks. The
cats thought they were in a heaven
made to order for them.
Now the Cat Problem
Now Gutenberg has no more rats
-HOI eNcl d lllOuSc, 81 ldl dS 10
known-but the town is overrun with
cats.
Councilman August Ehemann and
Town Clerk George W. Klein think
they have solved the problem. Ship
the cats to Soviet Russia" they say.
1t seems that they read somewhere
that Russia is haven for millions of
rats, and if boatload of hardened
Jersey rodent killers were shipped
there a great service would be rem
dered the communistic republic.
SO the councilman and the town
clerk are seeking to open negotia-
tions with the Moscow Government,
hoping they can trade cargo of cats
for a vessel loaded to the gunwales
With Siberian furs and caviar cheese.
In case the Lenin-Trotzky regime
looks with favor on their scheme, it
organize a trading corporation and
let everyone in Gutenberg in on the
company.
The Cats Still Come On
Gutenberg in general is enthusias-
tic about the scheme. 1t may be that
bring to the citizens of the town
pocket money so they can do their
Christmas shopping early.
And in the meantime a constant
stream of felines pours daily into
Gutenberg.

How tho Fires Start.

In the forests of the Rockies the
evergreens stand some distance apart
so that their tops do not touch. says
the "School Book Of Forestry" of the
American Tree association. AS a re-
suit these western forests do not
shade the ground as well as those In
the East. This causes the soils OF
these forests to be much drier, and
also increases the danger from fire.
