FRANK S[LVER'S
 REVUE|TONIGHT.
Musical Show Brings Popular Song Hits And Stars Of
 Broadway

Few theatrical .ot musical attrac- tons of recent years can boost of such an array of individual talent as that which comprises the Frank Silver "Yes, We Have No Bananas" com pany which is booked for the Jefferson theatre, February 8 and 9. "In as- sembling our company" said Mir. Silver recently in an interview, i've sought to engage artists of the unusual type. Certainly no greater dance star is to be found in any country than Step hanie Kovak, whose, amazing versatil- ity has brought to her fame both in Europe and America, and who, al- though still only a young girl, has blazed her way to stardom in an in- credibly short time. Likewise, it is diff ficult to conceive of a more fascinat- ing and charming singing comedienne than Miss Bobbe Arnet, who has been called the wonder lgirl of syncopated melody Whether in blues, or jazz or character singing, Miss Anet seems equally at home, and her great mag netism and quaint personality only add
 to her remarkable success" Not the least important feature of the Frank Silver company is the famous "Ba- nanas" jazz orchestra, which Mir. Silver regards as the greatest touring Orches- tra in America. Every conceivable type of jazz and syncopation is played by this popular band, and it is said that it is impossible not to fall victim to the swaying and perfect rhythms of the "Bananas'& boys, and to the phenominal dancing of the Cameo Girls, another andi highly important feature of the perfOrmance.

Vital Facts For Women

Sooner or later almost every woman is brought face to face with the fact that she is victim of some weakness or ailment peculiar to her sex.

SAYS WILSON'S
 NAME IMMORTAL
Ensley Business Men Taase To Pay Tribute To Late De-
 parted President
tENsLEY BUREAU)


 That Woodrow Wilson would grow into the hearts of people everywhere, would take his rank with Washing ton and Lincoln and that his name would be spoken whenever peace is thought of, or uttered, was the high destiny predicted for the memory of the illustrious war President by Dr. Henry NJ.

 Before an audience consisting of Xii wanians and business leaders, the widely known pastor thrilled his au- dience with his tributes to the late President.

He said the late President was unable to merge his life into that, of his fel- lows and that compromise was not of his nature. He said that as time rolls on the peace of the world will come about and that the name of Woodrow Wilson would be closely interwcven in that great achievement. Dr. Edmonds said that Washington, Lincoln and Wilson belong to the whole world, that people everywhere revered their mem ory and that Wilson's would have added lustre as time is recorded and as the hearts of men. finally found it worth while to dwell in peace throughout the world.
 He painted a word picture of rare beauty and he did not fail to inject smile into the memorial services.
 The program in memory of President Wilson was opened with prayer by Rev. U. s.. Pitts, recently appointed minister of the Ensley Highlands Methodist church. There followed an address by Rev. David NJ. Gardner of Ensley upon the greatness, the char acter and the accomplishments of the late President with special emphasis upon his Christian enironment.
 Mrs. Joe Stammer rendered solo Sweet Peace," accompanied by Mrs. John Hassler. She also sang at the memorial to President Harding.
 The club then sang Onward Chris tian Soldiers a favorite with Mir. Wilson, and later another song that the late President admired. The meet ing was concluded with a benediction by Rev. David Griffin, pastor of the Ensley Christian church. President William Turnipseed presided.
 E Guests, other than Kiwanians, in eluded: Mrs. Stammer, Dr. Edmonds, Mrs. Hassler, P. H. Tyler, Charles O. Johnson, D.. J. Hummer, Jessie Bell, Rev. l.. E. Brubaker, Rev. U. S. Pitts, J. s. Faulkner, Max Cohen, Dr. W. s. Rountree, c. c. Burke, Rev. D. M. Gardner.

ORDINANCE MAKING BLUFF RD. A ONE
Way ST APPROVED BY COMMISSIONER
VIM. Dill; WILL NOW BE ENFORCED
Signs Now Being Painted and Will Be Erected First Part
of Next Week; Will Prevent Through Traffic From
Palisade Avenue to the State Highway and Vice
Versa; Does Away With Nuisance That Disturbed
Villagers.

VIM. L. Dill, the New Jersey State
Commissioner .of Motor Vehicles, has
approved the ordinance recently en-
acted by the Mayor and Council of
Fort Lee making Bluff road in Pal
isade one way street.
The ordinance makes Bluff road
from Abbott boulevard to Palisade
avenue open to eastbound traffic only
and from Abbott boulevard to the new
State highway (Route No. 10) open to
impossible continuous passage on
Bluff road either east from the State
highway to Palisade avenue or vice
versa without breaking the law. The
fine for violation is stipulated in the
ordinance not to exceed $50.
Signs are now being painted and
will be erected the early part of next
week. The signs will be located and
will read substantially as follows:
one on the State highway reading,
"One Way Street-Exit-Do Not En-
ter-Police Regulation; one at An
derson avenue, eastside, reading,
"One Way Street-Exit-Do Not En-
ter-State Highway Two Blocks
North; one. on each side of Abbott
boulevard announcing the entrance
and exit and one on Falisade avenue
reading the same as the one on An
derson avenue.
Traffic officers will be on hand to
see that the ordinance is enforced and
the local Improvement Association
will cooperate with the officials in
every way.
The effort to keep Bluff road free
from heavy traffic dates back to the
days of the Bluff Road Association,
composed of group of men owning
property along the roadway. They
were successful in getting the State
highway where it is at present instead
of through the centre of the village
via Bluff road as was the original
plan.
When trucks and other vehicles
started to use Bluff road anyway as
short cut from one part of the State
highway to the other the very con-
dition existed that the Association
hoped to do away with.
The local Council had signs erected
warning against heavy trucking on
Bluff road but they did little or no
good.
| Finally the Improvement Associa-
tion after much discussion decided
the ordinance in question was the on
ly means of solving the problem.
The ordinance was introduced by
Palisades representative on the Coun-
ell, Harry D. Schall, and was passed
Now that it has been approved by
Commissioner Dill it is law and will
be enforced.

A Very Fine" Time
Was Had by All

The Palisadian Dodge kept Eddie
Johnson of the New York Police De-
partment working overtime couple
OF Fridays ago and he gave c. Lane
little piece of paper that said some
thing about going to the Mott street
traffic court.
Last Friday the paper was collected
at the door by some elderly bluecoat
and the court was called to order
about 9:45 a. m.
The verdict of guilty was soon ar
rived at and 81 was the penalty for
parking over twenty minutes on
Thirty-ninth street.
Lane wouldn't have felt half so bad
about the affair if the judge had not
complimented the officer for his work.
A self respecting car isn't safe
hanging around the New York streets
any more.
