AWAY

Tourists are the worst offenders
against traffic laws, claims a mo-
torcycle cop in Topeka, Kas. Not
so much due to ignorance of local
regulations, for there are plenty Of
signboards, but rather because it
is human nature to cuA loose from
restraint when away from home. A
tendency We all notice at conyen,
tions.
The same trait Of human nature
explains why many international
politicians (diplomats) employ eth
les in their relations with other
countries that they wouldn't think
of applying at home in daily life.

FORTY

Forty is the age WheB strenuous
sport becomes dangerous for a man
according to DR.. Cecil Webb-John-
son, distinguished London doctor.
He claims that a man is as old as
his arteries, and that after 40 even
golf is apt to exert too great a
strain on the heart.
In other words, man physically is
on the downward grade after 40,
and the age is nearer 80 in more
cases than any Of us realize.
A tip to young men in their
twenties, who are wasting their
time.

TROLLEY STRIKE STILL HANGS ON,
With NO TANGIBLE MOVE TO KNOCK
IT OFF ITS FEET; PEOPLE SUFFER
Utilities Board Spoke Plainly This Week and So Did
Public Service-Meanwhile Public Is Greatly Incon-
venienced

The trolley strike has scarcely
budged since last week. There was a
little flare up this week, Wednesday.
when the Utilities Commission under
took to say that the Public Service
must resume the running of electric
cars forthwith Pressed for the
real meaning of forthwith" the
Utilities Board went into executive
session and came out with Friday"
as the sense of forthwith"
Senator Wakeley, vice president
and counsel for Public Service, an
nounced to the Utilities Board that
his company wanted week in which
to prepare new plan to be submit
ted as a basis of dealing with the
strikers. The Utilities Board threat
ened to get out a mandamus against
Public Service, which is merely open
ing the door towards a big law con-
tention.
Meanwhile, the public is suffering
measurably and at its own cost in
money and inconvenience. So, If the
strikers have demanded more money
and have struck because Public Serv-
ice claims inability to meet it, the
people suffer.
Here on the Hilltop section every
available vehicle is being used to get
people to the ferry. Sometimes in
the middle of the Afternoon Edgewater
is swamped with a line of automo-
biles reaching to the top of the Pali
sades nearly mile long. And in the
early evening, between six and seven,
the crush is something painful.
There is lots of cussing and cutting
up but the strike has hit up about
the most stubbornness ever known in
the history of strikes of like kind.
The great query is, who's to blame?
You answer.

Married Men Lose
To Single Men, 1919

The Married Men Of Palisade play
ed an interesting game of baseball
Saturday against the Single Men, and
though the latter won the game by
one run, it was a nip and tuck affair
from the start. Paul Brady pitched
for the Single Men and Carl Hol-
thausen was in the box for the Mar
ried Men. 1t was at least interesting
to see number of former Palisade
ball players in the lineup of the two
teams, for there has been little or no
interest shown here in baseball for a
number of years. Berney Brady, who
nsed to be first baseman for the Pali-
sade Athletic Club, held down the
same post in this game and did him
self proud. In fact, he was the old
Bernie, and took everything that came
his way, missing nothing and catch
ing many almost impossible balls
thrown to him. Paul Brady put up a
good game for five innings, then gave
way to Eddie Greer-Eddie of no-hit-
po-run fame in the old days, he hav-
ing had a record of that kind in the
old days Eddie and Paul have still
their old cunning in the box and each
acquitted himself well. Carl Hol-
thausen had his game won up to the
last inning by a score of nine to five,
when the Single Men went in their
half and added five at one fell swoop
and took the game, 10 to 8. Accord
ing to the scorekeepers record, Carl
is credited with 20 strikeouts in the
seven innings played, while Paul and
Eddie are listed with 19, quite a re-
markable showing.
Among the other players who for
merly played with Palisade We're
George Beckmann in left, who put up
a splendid fight all the way, and who
knocked the cover off the ball; John,
Walter and Howard Lane, besides
Harry Lane, who umpired. And jim
me Wolcott, catching, was his old
self, and he did fine job of it all the
afternoon. Charles T. Logan, also,
took a hand, because there was no one
to play center for the Married Men.
He did his best.

Check Returned;
Woman Arrested

Wilhelmina A. Roth, of 81 Tom
Hunter road, Fort Lee, was placed
under arrest last Saturday afternoon
by Constable Paul Stelke on a war
rant issued by Justice E. A. Johnson,
of Hackensack, charging her with
having insufficient funds in bank to
meet check.
1t is alleged by Mrs. H. Kalman, of
Bogota, that the accused issued a
check drawn on the First National
Bank, of Fort Lee, for the sum of
$S7.74, knowing at the time that she
did not have sufficient funds in the
bank to meet it when presented for
payment, and with intent to defraud
and cheat the receiver.
Mrs. Kalman deposited the check in
her business bank, and within a few
days it was returned to her with the
information that it could not be col
lected.
After being docketed up at the Jail
bail in the sum of $3.50 was furnished
and Mrs. Roth was released to await
action by the grand jury.-Bergen
Evening Record.
Mrs. Roth will be remembered as
the proprietress of the Palisade
Bakery and Cafeteria Lunch which
failed in business short time ago.

Mrs. C.. Lane Sees
ProWler Leaving
by Back Door

There was an attempt made to en-
Lane at 1103 Abbott boulevard in Pali-
SADIE on last Sunday night about 10
o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane were sitting in
the dining room on the first floor
reading when they heard something
fall in the room above them. The
noise was first attributed to a prank
of the wind and forgotten about.
Shortly after this incident Mrs Lane
walked into the kitchen and turned
on the light only to see large man
in the act of leaving by way of the
kitchen door. Their small dog, which
accompanied Mrs. Lane to the kitchen,
let out faint yelp and dashed at the
intruder but he stopped as he reached
the door.
Mr.. Lane summoned the Fort Lee
police, and two officers responded
promptly and searched the house, but
found no trace of anyone.
Following the search by the police
men the Lanes put out the lights
downstairs and went to their bedroom
on the second floor. No sooner had
they reached the second floor than a
phone call from neighbor told them
that they had seen man sneak from
the tall bushes in one corner of the
lot and look in the dining room win
dow just before they had extinguished
the light.
The police were notified again and
responded, but the person had made a
getaway by the way of Edgewood
lane, for Mr.. Chas. Taylor watched
from his porch and the Lanes from
their dining room window until the
police arrived, making impossible an
escape by the way of Abbott boule-
ward or Dorincourt road unseen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane moved on Mon
day last to I'LL Edgewood lane, so
the night of the attempted robbery
there was little of value in the house.

Clear Sky Wind
Snaps White Oak

The high wind from the northwest
which sprang in last Monday morn
ing came with jump and bang. Its
speed was something terrific. All
along the Hilltop section it came with
almost unprecedented fury = the
strength of a gale. While it did little
damage, it caught up the branches of
a huge eighty-foot high white oak on
the Logan lawn in Palisade and snap
ped off two big branches seven inches
in diameter, and down they came in
the midst of bed of saliva. There
was enough wood in the branches to
make wagon load. 1t is supposed
that this freak was caused by an air
pocket eddy which for the moment
created tornado force. else such
tough wood as white oak could not
have been snapped off so quickly Lit
tie other damage was done. The wind
was out of clear sky.

The Pennell family are away for the
summer, but Mr.. Pennell has been oc-
cupying the house and committing
back and forth to business in New
York City.
He left home about a. M. last Sat
urday morning and returned in the
evening around p. m. When he first
entered the house he didn't notice that
anything had been disturbed but upon
entering the kitchen he found the con-
tents of a small box in which he kept
odds and ends such as collar buttons.
etc, emptied on the kitchen table and
concealed under a piece of paper. The
thief had of course taken what he
wanted of the trinkets the box con-
tanned and left the remainder.
A thorough search through the
house disclosed the fact that the fol-
lowing had been stolen: Six gold tie
pins tone containing INCONSISTENCY

New Buick Makes
A Pronounced Hit

The new Buick automobile for 1928
has Created sensation. Everyone is
asking, Have you seen the new Bu-
ick?" The various models are wonder
ful and quite well ahead of anything
yet produced.
After months and months of hard
and intelligent effort the Buick organ
ed and is now manufacturing the
greatest car offered in the twenty
years of its automobile experience.
That the public seems in accord with
tifying to us.
The foregoing was President II. H.
Bassett's answer when his, attention
was called today to the record break
ing attendance at the initial showings
of the 1924 Buick models throughout
the country.
Buick has been building automo-
biles for twenty years and during that
time turned out, up to July 1st, 1928,
a total of 1,060,2 ,226 cars" said Mr..
Bassett Experience is the best
teacher-and many of the skilled men
who came to us twenty years ago are
still learning how to build better
Bucks"
Asked to outline briefly what he re-
garded as the high spots" of the
many new Buick features that are be-
ing so widely discussed in motoring
circles, Mr. Bassett said
In our new 1924 six-cylinder mo-
tor, which is designed with the same
valve-in-head principle that has dis
tinguished Buick motors for power,
economy and long life, we have incor-
porated such improvements in design
head, large valves, heavy crank and
cam shafts, textolite composition TIM
ing gears, and greater piston displace-
ment-which develops practically fifty
per cent more power than the 1928
motor and gives a top speed of sixty
five to seventy miles per hour. In
this new motor we have the latest i'm
proved carburetor, especially designed
for this job, and which includes sim
pie dash adjustment for gasoline econ
omy in all kinds of weather and with
all kinds of gasoline.
"One of the greatest advances we
have made in the new car is found in
the four wheel external brakes. These
brakes are simple, powerful, easily
adjusted. and durable. There are
many other superfine points about the
new Buick"
