HERBERT L. POST

The retirement of Herbert i. Post
from the Cliffside borough council is
distinct loss to the community's in
terests. True enough, he has not CO.
incided with everybody's view OF
things, and he has insisted upon hav-
ing views of his own. But are not
these things indications of the 1nde-
pendent, unselfish person? Elected to
serve the people, Mr.. Post has had
that one thought most central in work
he has rendered the people. He has
never shown one scintilla Of liking
for this newspaper For that we ad-
mire him. He has shown that he
knows how to protect and to fight for
the people. And, after. all, there are
few men elected to public office who
really know the meaning of this atti-
tude. 1t will be long time before
any man will be found in Cliffside
Park who will lay down his personal
affairs in behalf of public interests as
cleanly and as willingly as has Mr.
Post. In all of his service for his peo-
pie, the taxpayers Of Cliffside Park,
Mr.. Post has labored all the way for
the advantage of those to whom the
government belongs - the people.
Their suffrage put him into office, and
no man in twenty years has served in
the council with greater ability, great
er loyalty of purpose, greater fidelity
to duty or more sincere purpose than
Mr.. Post. He has shown qualities
that fit him for honors far. beyond
service in village council.

TALKS WITH OUR READERS
On Subjects They Know Best

I measures, etc Second, the melting
point is much higher than that of
any ordinary metal; that is why it
makes such fine crucibles, cauteries
and lots of other things, such as the
telectric thermo-couples that are used
| for measuring the temperature inside
furnaces. Third, it has that strange
| chemical nature that makes it a
catalyst; that is, many chemical ac-
tions will go on gaily if platinum is
present, but won't even start If plati-
| mum is absent, the platinum not be-
ing consumed or injured in the pro-
| cess at all. The manufacture Of sui
phuric acid, which is the basis of all
industries without exception, and the
fxation of the nitrogen of the air,
both need huge amounts of platinum
as cAtalyst. These two chemical pro-
cesses are perhaps the most impor-
tant ones that our civilization uses
next to the burning of carbon.
When pure, platinum is as soft as
fine gold,s and can be drawn into the
finest wire-mere thistle-down of
changeless metal-of much value in
instruments Of precision. But when
properly alloyed it is amazingly stiff
and rigid; hence its use in dentistry
and jewelry.
OF course platinum is the ideal
metal for jewelry. The daintiest de-
signs can be outlined in it, delicate
cobwebs of cool white, so frail that
If made in gold they could be crush
ed between your fingers, yet when
made in platinum they are as strong
as-shall we say as strong as steel?
No-as strong as hard platinum! The
wise young man of today knows that
any diamond looks at least two sizes
larger and a shade whittier if set in
platinum, and besides it is held more
safely and surely, with less, metal
disfiguring the surface of the stone.
And it does not tarnish at all. Its
chaste white color harmonizes with
any stone, and with any garment.
Jewelry has always been deeply en-
tangled with sentiment; and so it is
certain that platinum, with its mes
sage of permanence, purity and
strength, will always be cherished as
the noblest of the metals.

PLATINUM
The Noblest Metal of Them All
BY CALM HOkE

For the Palisadian.
asked half a dozen people what,
in their opinion, was the most inter
esting thing about platinum. Five
said something about it's price or
scarcity; the sixth shook her bobbed
head and asked: Its what they
make engagement rings of, isn't it?"
And perhaps if we consider why
it is expensive, and why it is made
into engagement rings, We may have
the whole story of platinum.
Yes, it is expensive, and apt to
stay that way, even when the great
Russian mines open again. For it is
so uniquely desirable for so many
purposes that we shall never have
as much of it as we want.
Yet at one time it was cheap
enough. The early Spanish gold
seekers in South America found it a
nuisance, and the Spanish Govern
ment made laws against it because
it could be used to adulterate gold.
Now it is just the other way about;
gold is being used to adulterate
platinum, and the jewelers. are franz
ing laws to prevent just such do
ings!
There are many Palisadians who
are old enough to remember when
platinum cost about $40 an ounce;
ten years ago it was $40; today it is
800 to $110. Pure gold is always
$2O.67 an ounce. so platinum is worth
several times its weight in gold.
The reasons for this increase are
several. Platinum is. used mostly in
chemistry, electricity, dentistry and
jewelry. all of which fields have
grown enormously in the last few
years, with added speed each year.
First, platinum does not tarnish at
all, even when exposed to heat, or
the atmosphere, and most chemical
agencies. That is why we want it
for contact points and spark plugs,
for countless chemical purposes, in
jewelry, for standard weights and

NEW YEARS GREETINGS

At this time, when Father Time has
merely turned another corner along
the unending road of Record 1t be-
hooves everyone to start out afresh,
and in doing SO to have felicitous
thoughts for all. With this view Of
things, The Palisadian desires to ex-
tend to it's readers, one and all, the
friendliest greetings. Old Father
Time has been dishing up some ter
rife jolts to humanity since 1914,
when the Kaiser skidded into the big
smashup, and things human in gem
eral have not gone along just as they
should. In fact, pretty nearly every
thing in the whole world has been
wabbly. Now, this should not be.
God did not create the world with the
thought that it should forever be war
ring and jarring. No sane man or
woman believes that it is human ma
ture to be forever fighting, and so far
as we are concerned we like this thing
of fighting least of anything in the
whole world. There is so much that
is beautiful and lovable, so much that
is fine and adorable, why should we
be smashing one another to see who
can enjoy it4the most? That's about
the most there is to the human jar
bug. Somebody has a pretty rose, an
other fellow wants it for his best girl.
If he takes it we want to kill him,
whereas he should be allowed to take
it along. The matter of human selfish
ness is the real cause of SO per cent
of our ailments. Selfishness is
curse. We all know it, yet we daily
live to practice it.
Now, getting back to the Hilltop
Section, where all our readers are. let
us admonish more forbearance, more
liberality of thought, more charity,
more tenderness, more conservation,
more love, more faith in true ideals,
more help to others, more getting
away from ourselves and more going
out after the joy that comes from CIV
ing, helping, more feeling for others
and more and better religion-the
kind of religion that leads men and
women to holier thoughts, less license,
higher hopes, and in the end lives of
conservation to God and his service.
In these things is all the good writ in
the Bible, all that is worth while in
the world, viewed from any angle.
God bless you all, our readers!

SECRETARY FALL

Denies Friction Is Cause.

Transfer of Secretary Hoover to Post
Rumored-New, Kellogg, Mondell
and Carmi Thompson Also
Mentioned for Vacancy.

Washington. = The White House
confirmed that Secretary of the In
terror Albert B. Fall will leave Presi-
dent Harding's Cabinet March 4 next.
A three-cornered fight is already on
to succeed him with Representative
Mondell of Wyoming, Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington. and Senator
New of Indiana as active candidates
for the place. There were intima-
tions that the President would find a
way out of the difficulty Of choos-
ing from among his three friends by
listening to advice that is being given
to transfer Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover to the Interior Department
and selecting julius Barnes, president
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, to succeed Hoover.
Both at the White House and at
Secretary Falls office it was ex-
planned the retirement is due to the
call of private business and it Is de-
MED it is the result OF feuds within
the Cabinet resulting from the strug-
gle between Secretaries Fall and Wal
lace over the Alaskan problem and
policies of conservation growing out
of the Presidents reorganization
scheme. The President, it was ex-
planned, has the greatest confidence
and highest regard for Mr.. Fall and
only recently desired to appoint him
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
While Secretary Fall disclaims the
existence of personal wrangle with
the Secretary of Agriculture, he ad-
mits they are far apart as to con-
servation policies and differ radically
relative to Alaska.
Secretary Fall has been more inti-
mate with the President than any
other member of the Cabinet, but it Is
known he has never been happy in
the place. AT the outset of the or
ganization of the administration he
preferred to be Secretary of State
and is understood to have objected to
the administration policies relative
to Mexico.
The Fall resignation. the second
break in President Hardings Cabinet,
the first being the resignation of Will
H. Hays as Postmaster General, re-
newed gossip of further Cabinet
changes.
The two other Cabinet officers who
are expected to withdraw within the
year are Attorney General Daugherty
and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
According to some of Senator Falls
friends in Washington, the retiring
Secretary of the Interior will follow
the example Of his predecessor.
Franklin P Lane, who became vice.
president of the Panaman Petroleum
and Transport Company, and became
associated with one OF the country s
largest oil concerns.
This report is to the effect Mr..
Fall will become counsel for the Do

ested in the Mexican oil field. Secre-
tary Fall has long been recognized as
