RANDOM NOTES
BY THE EDITOR
Habit of Lying

l once knew man, he lives in
Palisade now, who said that when he
was a young man he had the habit of
lying about any and everything. He
has told me many of the escapades he
has had based on his chronic habit of
lying. He would lie, he said, when
the truth would fit far better He
was in business, and if a customer
asked him the simplest question in
the world a child could have answer
ed, he would at once make up a lie
when there was no necessity at all
for it. This ran on for years, he said,
till his lying habit got him into peck
of trouble now and then. Finally he
broke himself of the habit by simply
saying, "Tm going to quit" and quit
he did. Today he is an honored citi-
zen, has magnificent business in
Fifth avenue, is possessed of fine
property with an ample income. Not
long ago in talking to me he said:
"Oh, no, there is nothing to be gained
by lying. | quit it when I found that
out. OF course l feel the better for
it,"

Are you aware that perhaps dozens
Of discriminating strangers will men
tally exclaim: How charming" can
earnest, thoughtful girl" "a picture Of
health and innocent comeliness,"
THAT girl is good and beautiful both
in mind and heart'-are you aware of
these possible secret judgments dart
ing at you from the throng of alert
minds in the strange crowd?
Then, may it be that you appear to
be another kind of girl, and the secret
mental shafts being hurled at you are
How silly" "a shallow mind and an
empty heart" or 81 wonder if she has
mother foolish enough to let her
appear so in public?"
What do you imagine the people
whom you meet to be thinking of
you? That is the question we are
putting. Whether you are destined to
become a strong character or a cheap,
weak personality depends upon your
ideals in life.
Now, If you will partly forget the
"few fellows" and "just the bunch"
and understand that hundreds of ac-
quaintances and strangers are con-
stantly judging you by every outward
sign of your real character within
if you will but take this larger COM
pany of "eye witnesses" and critics
into the company of your thoughts
about yourself, then you will suddenly
change your manner and your appear
ance for the better.

"Can Man Live Under Water?" Brings
Reply From Orchestra Leader Strickland

fiat on his back under the eave-spout
in heavy rain storm, with mouth
distended to it's full width, permitting
the water to pour unctuously into the
cavity thereby created, where it bub-
bles and seethes as the student opens
and closes the adenoidal aperture, at
the same time emitting cultural
sounds in various tones of the scale.
Should you desire a demonstration of
the sub-aqua yodeling process, call
for me at any time at the ballroom of
Palisade Amusement Park, and 1 will
Immediately get in touch with a song
plugger from Tin Pan alley, whom we
will throw into the dark pool, after
securely binding him hand and feet
in order that he may not take his
mind off the yodeling in an attempt
to whistle through his fingers. Perry
Charles, of the Park and the Cheese
Club, has volunteered to throw him
self at the same time into the limpid
waters of the pool, stop-watch in
hand, and far in the murky depths be-
low the surface, time the yodeler and
jot down observations of his conduct,
etc. Mr.. Charles will also assist in
locating the body at the bottom at
the end of the experiment.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES F. STRICKLAND.

He is the only man in Bergen Coun.
ty who belongs to both the State and
the national association and the only
man in northern Jersey eligible for
membership in the Theatre Owners
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Kelly feels justly proud of hav-
ing been elected to both bodies, yet is
modest about it, saying his pride re.
suits from the fact that the Grant-Lee
Theatre has been accorded this rec
ognition among the vast number of
playhouses in New Jersey.
The outstanding success of the
Grant-Lee Theatre in it's comparative
ly short existence has been little short
of remarkable and has excited COM
ment from all parts of the country
among members of the motion picture
profession. The heads of the organ
izations mentioned know that Mr.. Kel-
ly has been largely responsible for the
Grant-Lee's success and have recog-
nized his ability in material way by
election to these positions of honor.

Mr.. Charles Lane, Manager,
The Palisadian,
Palisade, N. j.
My Dear Sir:
Under the heading For Your
Amusement" in your issue of August
7, note that you credit me with the
statement that man cannot live under
water-that is, while yodeling | want
to further take the liberty, Mr.. Lane,
of observing (from my standpoint as
musician) that most yodelers
should be confined the majority of
the time under the placid aqua. 1t is
a recognized fact that most artists at
yodeling sound as though their efforts
emanated from some abysmal depths
of pool, whose waters continually
choked the artist into series of
garglings, somewhat resembling the
throaty grumblings of a croaker, and
not unlike the braying of our humble
beast of burden, the jackass. l am
informed that some expert yodelers
have been able to function the mech
anism of the larynx for a matter of
some minutes under water, but as no
breath could be induced to enter the
bodies of these experimentalists after
they were again elevated to the sur
face, it is we'll nigh impossible to de-
termine the exact time the yodeling
continued to emanate before becom-
ing extinct. 1 am told that in Switz-
erland, where many have become pro-
ficient in the art of yodeling, the COM
mon practice of the beginner is to lie

Foolish Newspaper rrap

A local incident similar to the New
York newspaper Spanish-American
War story referred to took place re-
Gently where one of the parties to
the story is noted for his great blow
ing over his personal achievements
He posts himself in the public eye in
the personal pronoun style and sue
ceeds in making himself very ridicu-
lous among those who know that mod
esty and conceit are not friendly vir-
tues. In this case there are many
evidences of utterly inexcusable
touches Of vanity but at times most
distasteful bit of boasting that would
make dog sick. No newspaper man
is ever excusable for exploiting and
blowing about himself. A blowhard
is not only cheap, but he disgusts
those who might be disposed to be
tolerating and willing to excuse the
very worst weakness one can be guilty
of. The editor or owner of news
paper may be prominent as a citizen
and forced to mention himself from
time to time, but this is understood
But for newspaper to be forever
boasting about "our leadership" "our
circulation" "our" this or that be-
comes nauseating and is enough at
times to be puking. I do not know
a single Bergen county newspaper
with one exception) that blows
about itself and its performances A
paper has right to be proud of it's
accomplishments if it has any, or has
done some outstanding act and the
public naturally understands and ap-
preciates accordingly. But for a pa
per to do some minor, really unimpor-
tant thing and then publicly refer to
it in blatant fashion reduces the writ
er to the uttermost limits of the COM
monplace. The strange part of these
rare, isolated cases of exalted egoism
is that they cannot see their distaste-
full frailties. "By their fruits ye shall
know them" was said long ago about
men. 1t is true always.

For Your Amusement
Garrick Gaieties Very Enjoyable

The Garrick Gaieties, now playing
at the Garrick Theatre on West Thir-
ty-ffth street, in New York City, is,
in their own words, without princi-
pals This is but half truth, for
Sterling Holloway comes as near be-
ing not only principal, but the prin-
cipal as any comedian we have ever
seen. He is conspicuous in many of
the scenes, and his appearances are
so altogether pleasing that the on
locker gazes hastily at the program to
know just when he may be expected to
appear again.
The Garrick Gaieties is constantly
good from start to finish and never
lags. 1t is without elaborate scenery
or costumes that characterize the

GO BACK TO SCHOOL

This is the season of vacations but
soon 1t will end and the question will
arise in many family councils as to
whether son or daughter is to con-
finue in school or return to other
labors.
Parents at times err in letting age
be the determining factor as to when
a school career should terminate.
Adolescents are often tempted by
the romance of the world of business
or by the desire to acquire more
spending money to abandon the COM
pletion of their education. They lack
the foresight to see that a premature
entrance into the highly competitive
fields of commerce can do them no
good They are in period of rapidly
changing ideals and there is little as
surance that their own plannings of
today will meet their needs of tomor-
row. Maturer natures must extend a
directing hand.
In our country the individual is
largely ranked by his degree of lead
ership We occupy positions at vari-
Gus steps of the ladder from the top
rungi to the lowest A good education
is today essential to commanding
place Parents should make every
reasonable sacrifice to see that their
children get the proper training; that
they go through the secondary schools
by all means and to college or uni
versity if the interests and capabili-
ties of the child warrant.
A college or university course is
not universally essential. Much time
and money may be wasted in an at
tempt to inject higher education into
individuals whose capacities and in
clinations forbid it. However, par
ents owe it to their children to equip
them with the foundation for fruit
full career. A skimped education is
handicap-it may be sentence of
failure. The training of mind and
body that our educational institutions
give insures the boy and girl fair
start and imparts an incentive that
stirs ambition and builds self-assur-
ance. This confidence in itself fre-
quently determines success. A good
education is an asset-a lack of it is
a matter of regret.
When vacations are ended let
"Back-to-School' be your slogan.

million dollar" reviews, but offers a
brand of musical entertainment that
the elite as we'll as the butter and
egg individuals can enjoy. Vulgarity
creeps in, of course, but it is sort of
an artistic, good natured vulgarity
that offers little offense. In some
scenes the leads are to be found in
the chorus, and the chorus members
take their turns as leads. This is a
pleasing departure from the star sys-
tenn that excites comment.
For an evenings entertainment it
can't be beat, and even our illustrous
'townsman, DR.. Limenfeld, says it is
the best show he has seen for long,

Guarding Truth in Children

Children soon give themselves away
when they form the habit of lying
Parents are keen to catch up with
fibbing child, and in many ways find
themselves stopped by the shrewd-
ness with which they balk investiga-
ton. But this very thing of shrewd-
ness in child is often his undoing.
81 can tell when my child is lying in a
minute" said a mother to me. "They
give themselves away by their cock
sureness of look and speech" OF
course, the whimpering child caught
falsifying is easily understood. Tears
indicate guilt, and then begins the
method of applying moral suasion. A

The School will open for it's third
year on Monday, September 2Sth, in
its new quarters, right in the heart
of Englewood.
The quality of ones work is meas
ured by actual results, and we are
proud of the file ~--anding of our
graduates. This year we have sent
boys to st. Paul, Loomis, Andover
and Berkshire. These candidates have
not only passed but have entered
with very high marks for scholarship.
This is a reasonable assurance of con-
tinued success in their new work.
We train our boys to think and our
courses of study are varied sufficiently
to produce lively interest on the part
of the pupil. To succeed pupils must
be happy.

Mr.. Rombastes Furioso

One runs across some amusing
things in newspapers now and then.
Most readers of the weekly press un-
derstand that where there are several
papers published in small area, but
in different municipalities, that it is
a custom for one paper in printing
social events to use the names of as
sembled guests which they get from
the papers printed in the community
where the event took place. There is
no intention of pilfering, because the
act is unimportant and not in any
sense dishonest. During the Spanish
American War there was great rivalry
between two leading newspapers in
New York, one of them being in the
habit of shipping important cable
grams from the seat of war from the
other. Its rival undertook to rebuke
the other by publishing a faxed cable
exploiting the action of Spanish
officer whom they called Col. Reflip
Thenuz. This officers name spelled
backwards meant 1--WE pilfer the
new" 1t was widely copied as an
amusing news incident, and has never
been forgotten to this day. 1t is fire.

newspaper men.

child responds to moral suasion far
sooner than to the rod. Bit for my
part | am an advocate of Solomon on
his great thought of "Spare the rod
and spoil the child" There was never
truer saying. The modern method
of allowing a child to raise himself is
tommyrot. Bad habits in a child be-
come inbred nine times out of ten
While there are certain moral in
stincts that come naturally, neglect
ing the lying child is it's worst asset
for the future. Mankind is conscien-
tious in principle, but in practice it
is another matter. When right think
ing and right doing have been in
stilled into childs education it sell
dom forgets the meaning. 1t is as
proper to educate against lying as
against bad spelling.
