VILLAGE IS SPLIT
OVER STREET
DANCING
Nuisance, Asserts Clergyman,
and Gets Injunction-order
Then Vacated.
BY international Nevis service.

ONEONTA, N. Y, Aug. U.s.
With a leading clergyman on one
side and the president of the vii
lage on the other. the question Of
whether the weekly street dances
at the village of Schoharie, which
have drawn thousands Of young
people from this section OF the
ground that they are a nuisance,
Rev. A. v. Patton, pastor of the
Community Church, in front OF
whose parsonage the band for the
dances is stationed, charges, in an
application for an injunction to
stop the dances, that the young
people conduct themselves improp-
erly. Perry E.. Taylor, president of
the Village Board of Trustees, in
his application for annulment of
the injunction, says that isn't true.
Unable to induce the village
president to stop the dances, Rev.
Patton appealed to Justice Ellis j.
Staley, and obtained a temporary
injunction, which was served in
the midst Of the frolicking. Con.
sternation spread through the
throng, The village president can:
vassed sentiment throughout the
section, and scores Of affidavi+s
indorsing the dances we're signed.
Then Justice Staley signed an Or
der vacating his first one.
Rev. Patton's followers maintain
that the young people at the
dances trample the, minister's wide
lawn, that some of them use its
Oh
actions and that they even leave
and expectorate on the Veranda.
Affidavits by business men, in the
hands Of the village president, say
the dances are quite proper and a
nuisance to nobody.
Frank NJ Woman, president of
the governing board of the Com
munitv Church, in a statement up
holding the attack on the young
people, says:
Last year difficulty was ex-
perienced over the removal of the
dances. This year the pastor of
the Community Church went to
the village president, p. K. Taylor,
and asked him to do what he could
to have the dance site removed
from the parsonage front
'He was informed that the viii
lage board had nothing to do with
the matter; that the orchestra was
conducting the dance and the mat
ter was up to it.
"Some time later the officials of
the church and the village board
held a joint meeting. The under
standing is that the church was
not asking that the dance be
stopped, but that it be removed
from in front of the parsonage.
The village board decided to take
no action"

Paul RoesteI, Chef, Says Bryn

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Aug. rs
Don't fool yourself about the appe-
tite OF college girls. Lady fingers
and finger bowls give the dainty
touch they like. but they pack away
the calories just the same as boys
do.
The assertion is made by Paul
Roestell, newly appointed manager
Of the dining hall at Lehigh Uni.
versity, who arrived here today
from Bryn Mawr College to under
take the job of winning his way
to the hearts Of Lehigh men by
the traditional route.
There is q group Of girls at
Bryn Mawr known as the G. and

what that stands for but have a
straight tip that it's an abbrevi-
alton for Grab and Gorge In
tend to serve such food at Lehigh
that the boys will want to affiliate
with the g and G's.''
Mr.. Roestell was formerly stew.

Schwab, who is a trustee, of lie.
high University. resulting in his
appointment as food director in the
kitchen Of the Hog Island ship
building yards, in Philadelphia,
where he served $1,000 people daily
during the war.
You might feed group Of peo-
pie on ambrpsia ana nectar but
there would always be somebody
who would kick because there
were no beans on the menu. My
theory is to encourage the kicks.
We viii have student representa-
tives whose job viii be to. bring

Ithe abCys own fault If they doTfst

good for them.
Mr.. Roestell win instruct boys
who are working their way through

and the art Of buying food as a
practical aid to them in earning
their board in college and obtain

FIND SKULL TREPANNED
FAR BACK IN DARK AGES

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Discovery
of an ancient skull bearing evidence
of an effort by an aboriginal sur.
geon at cranial surgery in the era
when mans keenest instrument
was a flint knife has been an
nounced by the American Museum
OF Natural History.
The skull, found at Mitten Rock,
in the Navajo Reservation Of New
Mexico, by an expedition headed by
Earl H. Morris. famous explorer of
Aztec ruins, had been extensively
trepanned, an oval section two
inches long and an inch wide hav-
ing been removed from the frontal
bone, Immediately above the right
eye.
The entire portion Of the skull
was knobbed and pitted, apparently
from some disease from which a
crude, long-dead surgeon had at
tempted to relieve the patient by a
desperate operation. The work was
neatly done. but as the edges of
the bone showed no evidence of
healing it is apparent that the
patient did not long survive the
operation.

From colonel in the Imperial Rus
sion army. riding instructor to the
blood royal and Inspector of mu-
nitions for the Russian war office
to rough-garbed farmer on one of
New York States abandoned
farms"
It's a vast gap to bridge. but
it fells the story of Nicholas Ka-
dick. who today is working out
salvation of himself and family
near Apulia station
He once was one Of the famous
Cossacks of the Black Sea. his
home in the hill country in the
Russian peninsula lying between
the Black and Caspian seas.
He, fought in the. Japanese-R Rus
sian war and the world war his
ga1lantry winning rapid advance
ment in rank. He was wounded
eleven times: his face is marred
by several scars, and one leg is
slightly cripnled from being hit
by a shell.
Taught Royal Children.
AS an officer he taught children
in royal families at the imperial
court in st. Petersburg. as it was
called then, how Cossacks ride.
He was in the famous battle Of
the Masurian Lakes, in East Prus-
STA, early in the great war. when
Won Hindenburg smashed the
army of the Russian General Sam.
sonoff and the marshes were
filled with dead and wounded
Russian soldiers. Five of Ka-
dicks brothers were killed in the
campaign.
BY a fortunate twist of fate he
was sent to England as a mu-
nitions inspector before the Rus
sian empire had fallen completely.
He was there when Kerensky
was trying vainly to save it.
Then he was sent to America
on the same mission and was
stationed at many different NUM-
ton plants in this country and
Canada.
Becomes Farmer. >..r
When everything was over and
the old Russia gone Kadick final
ly bought the farm in the hollow
near ApuIia and started to re-
trieve bravely the fortunes which
sank with his fatherland's fall.
His wife fortunately had come
with him to this. country, with
Nina, a daughter born in Russia.
Since then two other !. children
Micha and Nata-have been born.
But Nicholas, the first born, named
after Grand Duke Nicholas, has not
been seen by his parents since he
was five months old.
When Kadick took the farm
near this city it was nothing but
shell-a few barns and sheds
in poor condition, an old house
and 14O acres Of land lying fal-
low and unfertile. Today he has
thirteen cows, ten heifers. service
able equipment, a team Of horses
which cost $500, and a pair of
mules.

'The song is the same but the
tune has changed" commented the

roads and along the car tracks; and
for that reason he had set aside
this plot Of ground with the band
stand erected, and that in q few
days the swings and benches will
be in place. His only request was
that the Women's Civic Leaue Of
Clarendon arrange to have some
one ON the grounds each day TO
care for the children, and kcep
order. He hoped the park woIld
be enjoyed by all.
