Hudson Theatre
Well Patronized

Gus Fay is the funniest comedian
that ever stood on two feet, is the
consensus of opinion of playgoers
who have seen him in London
Gayety Girls now playing at the
Hudson Theatre, Lewis street and
New York avenue, Union Hill.
London Gayety Girls" opened at
the Hudson Monday and will remain
until next Monday. They are a col
lection of beauties, slender-formed, OF
vivacious type, in rolled sock and
bare legged costumes. The ever
smiling Evelyn Butler late of Tan
gerine," uses her voice to good ad-
vantage. Joe Moss, another comic,
and Henry Keller, are excellent.
That Bergen residents appreciate
the brand of burlesque now being
shown at the Hudson is evinced by
the advance sale of tickets. Many
have obtained reservations by phone
Smiles and Kisses" with George
Leon, that opens at the Hudson next
Monday, is one of the best burlesques
now appearing and has a kick in ev-
cry line. 1t should be seen by every.
one who has penchant for pretty
girls and clean comedy.

Name Train Engines
for Men Who Drive

Boston.-"Did you come in ON the
Patrick O'Brien this morning, Jim?"
mo, it was the Barney Summers,
Sarah"
This is sample Of the conversation
between commuters on the New Haven
railroad most any morning. They are
not talking about boats but the names
Of engines behind which they rode to
their work. And the names don't stand
for directors of the railroad, Presidents
of the United States, or prize fighters,
but are named for the engineers who
drive them.
ITS better than simply talking In
numbers" according to one of the Off
cials of the railroad. 1--WE are going
back to custom in vogue in our grand
fathers time. The stunt is bringing
back some of the sentiment toward the
engines, which have come to be re-
garded, If at all, as mere masses Of
steel.
"The fireman's name Is painted on
one side of the engines cab and the
engineers on the other. This means
that the man who pulls the throttle as
we'll as the man who heaves the coal
has more than an ordinary interest in
the giant bringing it's human freight
into the terminals ON time"
So the engines coming into the South
station bear the names of A. r. Bolles,
II. r. Hanson, AL Joyce, Joe Leonard,
X. J. Aldrich and others.

Princes Failure
To Attend Theatre
A Disappointment

When the Prince Of Wales depart
ed from Long Island for his Canadian
ranch the most poignant disappoint-
ment over his failure to visit the New
York theatres was experienced by
Mary Young, co-star with Helen
Hayes, John Halliday and Henry
Stephenson in Dancing Mothers" at
the Maxine Elliott Theatre. Miss
Young's disappointment in the deter
mination of the Prince not to visit
New York grows out of one of the
dearest memories of her life. 1t is
that of a visit to her dressing room
by King Edward when he was Prince
of Wales. Mary Young was a tiny
tot of ten summers playing in "Alice
in Wonderland" in London when the
present Prince of Wales illustrious
forebear paid her a visit in the wings
and dangled her on his knee. While
the distinguished star has long since
outgrown the knee-dangling days, she
was tremendously interested in the
visit of the young Prince this fall,
feeling assured he would see the new
plays of the current year, and that
history would repeat itself to the ex-
tent of his seeing Dancing Mothers"
and meeting her when he learned of
the happy incident Of her childhood
in London. But the Prince of Wales
Systematically declined all visits to
the theatres while in the vicinity of
New York.

treasure of the Cummins, Cook and
Walker bandit gangs, which he firmly

with caves and hidden springs and
rugged gulches that would require II
lifetime of labor to explore An aged
negro woman pioneer, whose name he
refuses to disclose, is said to have seen
part of the loot buried and earth and
rocks dynamited over it.
For 25 years Harris has lived the
life Of recluse, mostly in woods and
canyons, carrying on his work alone,
and he still believes he will be sue
cessful.
The bandit gang referred to ranged

detailed explanation. This is only
one of many fine productions that are
booked for the Grant-Lee.
The time of matinee has been
changed from 1920 p. m. to 2:30 p. m.
at the request of many housewives

hours so on Sunday when the pic
lures are continuous from 2 p. m.
three complete shows are given.
The house itself was never in finer
order with the ventilating systems
working night and day to insure the
proper temperature and to keep the
air pure. On Sunday two organists
supply the music which adds SO much
to the charm of any picture.

Tuberculosis Victims
100000 in 43 Years

New York.-Reports from twenty
three countries representing one-third
of the population of the world. com
piled by G. j. Drolet, statistician of
the New York Tuberculosis assOcia-
tion, indicate that in the last forty
three years more than 18,000,000 peo-
pie have died from pulmonary tuber-
culosls. according to statement Is
sued by the association.
In practically all of the countries
studied the death rate from tubercu-
losis Is declining, with the exception
of Japan where there is marked in
crease. The central European coun-
tries showed an increase during the
war, but so far as figures are avail
able since the war there has been a
decline. AT the present time, how
ever, the death rate in Germany seems
again to be mounting.
In the United States the death rate
from tuberculosis has steadily fallen
from nearly 300 in 1880 to 81 for each
100000 of population in 1922.

The locusts came over the frontier
from Holland by countless billions and
were caught by women and boys with
great baskets.
The oil is intended for airplane mo-
tors and is said to be particularly
adaptable for winter flying because 1t

2 Nurses for the
Cliff. PIX. Schools

Cliffside Park now has the service
of two trained nurses in the schools,
the baby clinic and the tuberculosis
clinic in the Borough Hall. The Bor-
ough has used the services of one
nurse, Mrs. Mary Sullivan, and it was
deemed wise to obtain another. The
Board of Education had taken the
responsibility for the hiring of the
first nurse, but the Board of Health
is assuming all the expense of the
additional service.
Miss Grace Benson, the new trained
nurse, is a graduate of the Methodist
Episcopal Hospital of Philadelphia.
Cliffside Parks Board of Health has
been complimented upon the work
it is doing. 1t supports an effective
tuberculosis clinic which is open
every Wednesday, the baby clinics
being open in Clffside on Tuesdays
and in Grantwood, Wednesdays. The
time, that intervenes is spent by
nurses examining pupils in the public
schools and, if necessary, carrying
their examination to the homes.

LARGE CONGREGATION AT THE UNION
CHURCH LAST SUNDAY; DELIGHTFUL
SOCIAL TUES. NIGHT; PLAN TO BUILD
Sum of Over 500 Raised by Sunday School for Build
ing Fund Accepted by Trustees; Plan Active Cam
pagn to Make Proposed Addition to Present Building
Reality; Community Project

Perhaps the largest congregation of
the year gathered at the Union
Church of Palisade last Sunday to
hear a special service arranged by
Rev. Alan Hunter, the pastor. There
was special music, Mr.. Hayes, the or
ganist, singing solo, and Miss Smith
sang two other solos. All of the mu-
sic was full of feeling and appropriate
for the occasion. Rev. Hunter deliv-
cred very fine talk on the subject,
you Can't Change Human Nature"
chosen from rather haphazard re-
mark he had heard recently on the
street. The speaker told quite feel
ingly of many instances where human
nature had been changed, including
that of the wonderful Helen Keller.
He told of her limitations at birth,
having neither sight, speech nor hear
ing, yet she had at least partially OBJ
tanned all of these faculties, and had
done almost as much in the way OF
benefiting humanity as any person he
could name. Mr.. Hunter said that
any of us that were inclined to lead
lives of sin by nature could certainly
change ourselves in many senses
quite as radically as had Helen Keller
her physical deficiencies. All in all,
the service was most interesting and
spiritual. Mrs. Harry Clark was at
the piano for the soloists. There were
about 100 present.
On last Tuesday evening one of
the most enjoyable socials in the his
tory of the church was held in the
church basement and over seventy
five folks were on hand to make the
evening a very pleasant one.
The idea of the social gathering was
to stimulate interest in the village
church and to give the newcomers
to Palisade an opportunity to meet
one another, and some of the older
residents.
An impromptu program of musical
numbers and games was followed by
refreshments served by the ladies.
Those who attended are still talking
about the happy gathering.
On Wednesday night the board of
trustees held an important meeting
at the home of George Beckmann on
Edgewood lane and accepted from the
Sunday school sum of over $500
which was raised by them for the
building fund.
The trustees plan to take definite
steps to start on the addition to the
present church building.
A ways and means committee will
be appointed by the chairman of the
board of trustees, Mr.. Arthur w.
Hayes, and at the request of the 9th
er trustees Mr.. Hayes will himself
Fserve on the committee.
They expect to complete the build
ing as originally planned and provide
more room for the Sunday school, as
well as a recreation room that will
serve as a community center.
Mr.. Ernest Sibley has volunteered
his services as architect and will do
all the work, such as preparing speci-
fications, etc, gratuitously.
The entire job is estimated to cost
about $4,000, and the first step the
trustees will take is to raise about
$500, probably by popular subscrip-
tion.
This is purely community project,
and it is hoped everyone will cooper
ate with the trustees to make the un-
dertaking an unqualified success.
