A Local National
Prize Winner

Probably many residents of Cliffside
Park do not know that the one thou-
sand dollar prize in the recent Ma
tional balloon race was won by Lieu
tenant Robert Olmstead of the Army
Aviation service, who is a brother
of Mrs Charles Brown of Hudson
Heights. He became SO proficient IN
ballooning, without a motor, during
the war that he was kept over here TO
train many young men in that art
The Board of Trade of Indianapolis
arranged for this national balloon con-
test and offered the prize for the
longest time in the air and the most
skill shown. Lieutenant Olmstead
kept his balloon in the air for five
hundred miles, some fifty miles more
than his nearest competitor, so was
the winner. In consequence of this
victory, he has been asked to repre-
sent the United States in the balloon
race in Belgium in September and has
the best wishes of friends himself
and his sister.

Postpone Hearing
Of Hooch Maker

The hearing of Anthony Silento, a
Cliffside man, alleged to be a maker
of "hooch," which was scheduled to
be held before United States Commits
sioner Arthur M. Agnew in Hacken-
sack Saturday morning, was postponed
until Wednesday, July IS, as the Fed
eral agent in charge was called away
and was unable to be present at the
scheduled hearing. Silento made his
appearance and was again released in
the cutsody of Anthony Petrillo, a
Cliffside garage keeper, who furnished
bail of $1,000. when the man was first
taken by the police.
=, Almost month ago, Silento's home
on Rothwell avenue, Cliffside, caught
fire which is said to have been start
ed by the explosion of one of three
stills which the police say were found
with other moonshine apparatus in the
cellar of the building after the blaze
had been extinguished. The accused
man was badly burned about the arms
and face, and fled to a doctor for aid.
He gave himself up to the Cliffside
police early the next morning. Petril-
10 then furnished the bail. The hear
ing was not held Immediately at the
time, as Commissioner Agnew was ill.

TELL OF WEATRER'S CHANGE
Many Flowers Give Warning of the
Coming of Rain, if One Will Stop
to Observe Them.

Many flowers are said to be eIcellen
barometers. For instance, it is when
the blooms OF dandelions have seeded
and are ins the fluffy, ft thery condl
ton that the weather prophet faculties
come to the fore. In fine weather the
ball expands to the full, but when the
rain approaches it shuts up like an UNI
brella. If the weather is inclined to
be showery, it keeps shut up all the
time, only opening when the danger
from the wet is passed.
The ordinary clover and all its vari-
eties, including shamrock, are also pa
rometers. When rain is coming the
leaves shut together like the shells OF
an oyster For a day or two before
rain comes their stems swell TO an ap-
preciable extent, and stiffen so that the
leaves are borne more upriahtly than
usual. This stem swelling when rain
is expected Is a feature of many flower
ing grasses.
The figures Of which the leaves OF
the horse chestnut are made up keep
fiat and fanlike so long as the fine
weather is likely to continue.-Cleve-

ACCEPTED OXFORD AS MODEL
Is to Be That of Famous
English College.

Architects plans and illustrations
are now published in the French
press of the new Paris university
buildings on the site of the disman-
tied Notifications and away from the
crowded Latin quarter. 1t is inter-
esting to learn that the architect for
the first block has abandoned the
conventional French style and gone to
Oxford for his models, remarks the
Manchester Guardian.
writer in L'Illustration curiously
describes the architecture as anglo
Hollandais," but as a matter of fact
the deisgn bears great resemblas4e
to the new Brasenose buildings. The
ground plan reveals ample space that
is to be devoted to gardens-though
we are not told whether an attempt is
to be made to rival OXfOrd'S careful
ly tended lawns-and playing fields.
In the latter spaces have been care
fully marked off for football" Rug
by" and baseball"
Students at English universities
and especially at the older universf-
ties-may feel little envious when
they learn the cost of living in this
new Paris settlement. The price of
welI-equipped room, one of whose
luxuries will be that "hot and cold
running water which the French
now appear to think so Indispensable
in every well-regulated establishment,
will be 80 francs a month, and the
maximum price for dinner or lunch
will be francs. Both men and wom-
en- are to find homes in the hotels.
NJ. Emile Deutsche de la Meurthe,
the generous donor of the first block,
has stipulated that out of the $50 for
whom rooms are to be found in the
first instance, 100 must be women.
Among foreign countries which have
already consented to establish hotels
for their students on the new site are
Canada and Argentina. Some of the
French papers say that the Univer-
slty of oxford has been asked to take
a hand in the scheme.

County Chairman
J. Brohel Resigns

The Republican County Commit
tees July meeting which was held at
the Court House, Hackensack, last
week was a record breaker The even
ing was warm one, but the attend
ance was large, due in great meas
ure to the rumor that Chairman
Joseph A. Brohel would tender his
resignation.
B. Duncan McClave, vice chairman,
presided and handled the business in
good form.
The resignation of Mr.. Brohel was
the first matter taken up and on mo-
ton was laid on the table. His letter
as read by Secretary Moore follows:
Fellow Members: Please accept my
resignation as chairman, to take effect
at once. Because of the pleasant as
sociation and loyal support which has
always been mine, have arrived at
this decision with sincere regrets, but
my business duties and responsibilities
demand all my time and energy.
"Be assured of my grateful apprecia-
tion of the honor accorded me in be-
ing chairman of this committee for so
long a period, and | will always be
ready by voice or counsel to lend my
humble assistance whenever it may be
useful"
Among other matters that came be-
fore the committee was notice given
of a proposed change of Article 10 of
the Bylaws to read that the Execu-
tive Committee shall be composed of
forty-two members, twenty-one male
and twenty-one female members. At
present there are only twenty-one
members. The chair announced that
primary day is Sept. %; last day for
filing petitions for candidates Aug. 81;
last registry day Oct. 16.
When the chairman asked if any
candidates wished to make their an
nouncement, Charles F. Black, law
yer of Ridgewood, responded and said
that he would be a candidate for the
Assembly. Mr.. Black is a member of
the County Committee and is we'll
thought of in his home town. F. VIM.
Gertzen of Ramsey also said that he
was a candidate for the Assembly.
Mrs Charles S. Conklin reported
the appointment of Mrs. Thompson as
member of the Republican National
Committee, and told the County Com
mittee what a fine type of woman
had been named to represent the Re-
publican women of New Jersey on the
national body.

SENSATIONAL GAME
Defeats N. Y. A. C. With 3 to 2
Score on Sunday Last.

The strong Grantwood Athletic
Club travelled to TraversS Island last
Sunday and defeated the New York

of three runs on five hits and a pass.

man, opened the inning by skying to
deep center. McClave singled and
Griffin received a free ticket. Nc

when he came home on Borrelli's S
crashing single to left. Griffin check

Wick" followed suit when Golmann
hit one bagger.

hits.

another marker. From then on a
pitchers battle ensued, Weigle having
the better Of the battle
The large crowd, which numbered
around 5000, were treated to some
superb pitching. Sensational fielding
featured the game and also started a
few two-ply killings.
Bobby Hecker led the attack with
three crashing; stinging, sizzling sin
giles.
Walter Weigle, the southpaw star
was in great form, allowing the strong
New York team only seven hits, which
he kept well scattered and far be-
tween.

their stride of 1922, as witnessed by
the two consecutive victories over the

KENNY WILL FIGHT WRIT FOR SCHOOL
BOARD; D;CAD|EN ATTENDS MEETING
and ARGUES WITH BOARD MEMBERS
Only Few Citizens Present. but Number Take Part in
Discussion; Affidavit Read Giving Reasons for
Action.

A handful of citizens we're. present
at the adjourned meeting of the Cliff
side Park Board of Education, which
was held at the High School on We'd
nesday night.
The boards attorney, Mr. Kenny,
read aloud the affidavit that accom-
panied the writ of certiorari which
was served on the board at their regu-
lar meeting the week before, and it
gave the following reasons why the
election was considered Illegal: %
Notices of the election were not post
ed. In reply to this Mr.: Kenny stated
he thought they were posted; how
ever, the election was given sufficient
publicity. (2) Polls were advertised
to be open from to 9 p. m, and the
ballots did not arrive until 6 :45 p. M,
hence voters were not given oppor-
tunity as advertised. This point Mr..
Kenny considered as immaterial. 60
Ballots were not clear or Ineligible
and were confusing to the voter. This
the attorney considered the real point
in question, anG explained that the
ballot was proper according to present
law and had been approved by the
Attorney General, and if the court
held it was not legal they would be
creating entirely new law. (4) Con-
tended the ballots were not sealed
according to law following election.
This, the attorney said, was a techni-
cality, and as matter of fact they
were sealed.
A resolution was offered by Mr.
Everett empowering Judge Kenny as
the School Boards attorney to do
whatever necessary in fighting the
writ, and same was passed. Mr.. Kor-
zineck alone voting no, but he later
in the meeting changed his vote to
yes. Mr.. Kenny will try to obtain a
dismissal of the writ, and if success
full will try to have the date for hear
ing changed so the board will not be
held up any longer than is absolutely
necessary.
Following the passage of the resolu-
ton, lengthy discussion followed, in
which Mr.. Dietrich, Mr.. Velsey, Mr..
Korzineck, Mayor Garden, Mr. Ever
EFT and several citizens took part.
The Mayor asked if the heating
plant had been poor for the past three
or four years, and Mr.. VelseY said
yes, but it had been repaired each
year, whereupon the Mayor asked why
they had waited until June 26, in 1928,
to remedy it, and Mr.. Velsey replied
that they would have replaced it be-
fore if they hadn't been blocked The
Mayor asked who blocked them, and
Mr.. Velsey considered an answer to
that question as non-essential.
Whether or not the Mayors remarks
should be recorded on the sminutes
was discussed, and Mr. Korzineck
moved that they should be, but the
motion was not seconded, therefore it
was lost.
From $3.50 until after II, words were
exchanged between the Mayor and
members of the board. Mr.. Siegrist,
Mrs. Woods, Mrs. Korzineck, Mr.. Grey
and Mrs. Heaton also spoke and the
general sentiment seemed to be with
the Board of Education.

The last report before we go to press
states that the operation was success
full and that his condition is good.
The captain was on the job up to

that he was suffering with any ailment
