Holdup Men Get $40
And Cadillac Sedan

Frank Cox, a taxi driver of Edge
water, had $40 in cash and his Cadil-
lac sedan stolen from him about 10
o'clock last Sunday night by two
bandits.
The two men got into his car at the
ferry and said they wanted to go to
the O'Brien camp in North Edgewa-
ter. Part way up the River road the
passengers covered the driver with
guns and ordered him to drive to a
point near Teaneck, the penalty of his
refusal being death. He obeyed.
On a dark Teaneck road the gun
men searched Cox's pockets, taking all
the cash he had and stole the car,
telling him they wanted to use it for a
couple of hold-ups that night and that
he would find it in New York the next
day.
Cox notified the Leonia police and
got ride back to Edgewater, where
the local police were told of the out
rage. Word was sent by phone to
practically every department in Ber-
gen and Hudson counties to spread a
net for the daring hold-up men.

For Your Amusement
South Sea Play at Lyric Captivating

skinned native men who strum their
musical instruments while the capti-
waiting native maidens, arrayed in
the light and airy costumes of the
tropics, perform startling feats Of
terpsichore in the true-to-life custom
of the South Seas. A notable cast Of
New York players interpret the play.
Norman " Pearce, the famous globe
trotter and lecturer, said: "The ro-
nance of the South Seas has been
told in song and story, but no genius
of the canvas or no genius of the pen
can place before us exactly the peace
full, sleepy and dreamy atmosphere
or the vicious fury of a tropical storm.
1t is doubtful whether truer and
more realistic picture of life in the
Southern Seas has ever been put be-
fore the public than is to be seen in
that remarkable play 'Aloma of the
South Seas" Matinees are given
every Wednesday and Saturday.

Carl Reeds sensational tropical
drama of love and youth, "Aloma of
the South Seas" at the Lyric Thea
tre, has scored one of the most re-
markable hits ever registered by a
melodrama in the metropolis. 1t is
now in it's fifth month at the Lyric
Theatre. A graphic picture of life
below the equator is faithfully por-
trayed in the picturesque surround
ings of the tropics so vividly de-
scribed by Peter Kyne, Frederick
O'Brien and other authors of South
Sea tales. There is a deeply inter-
esting love battle between pretty
native maiden and white girl for
the affections of the white hero and
a number of thrilling dramatic situa-
tions. It is a story of primitive pas
sion battling against the more con-
servatiye ethics of civilization, in
which right gains the victory. One

dealing with these two nationalities,
a happy ending that satisfies both

A splendid cast is offered by the

Broadway, heads the list of notables,

Mellon Was Right

Income tax figures for the fiscal
year which ended June 80 prove
that Secretary Mellon was right. Not
only did the tax law patched I'D by
economists of Congress lessen the
nations tax burden by only one-half
the expected $4OO,OOO,OOO reduction,
but it has brought in a surplus over
estimated expenditures of about
S375, 5,O00,000. Next time the tax law
trainers should listen more atten-
lively to the Treasury chief. AS Mr..
Mellon, Senator Underwood and
others have indicated, the failure to
reduce the maximum surtax below
40 per cent violated certain we'll
known principles of taxation. The
problem is not merely one of tax re-
duction, but of tax reform. 1t has
long been well known that capital. |

TEACHING BY THE ASSOCIATION
OF IDEAS
George F. Lumb

At the time when my son was
about three years old, I happened
to read book on Psychology which
gave me a new interest in my boys
development. In the evening I would
take him on my knee and tell him a
story purposely designed to impart
to his child mind some facts that
would interest and at the same time
instruct him.
For example I would start off like
this:
"Once upon time there was a
kind farmer. He had two little boys,
Jackie and Tommie. One day the
farmer took his little boys out to
the apple tree that grew near the
barn and he said, Now you have
both been good boys and 1 am going
to give you the apples that are on
this tree There were five apples on
the tree and the farmer picked them
all. He gave three apples to Jackie
and he gave-let me see, three and
two are five-he gave the other two
apples to Tommie."
After a few weeks Of telling often
the same story, would be more de-
in making my calculation,
and the response would come from
my little boy.
I remember the thrill I felt one
evening when I was telling him
about farmer who had three mules
and four horses-we had used the
same combination in a squirrel
story. This farmer wanted to build a
new stable. I said, "Now let me see,
now many stalls did he need to have
or three mules and four horses p"

was a delight and satisfaction to see
the hungry little mind drink in the
facts of life and of nature. Uncon-
sciously, he learned Arithmetic, His
tory and Geography.
He is fourteen now, a senior in
High School, has just been elected
Glass Historian and for two years
past has not brought home mark
below 80.
1 wish I could tell every young
parent of the joy and satisfaction
that come from this practice of
which l have spoken. The daily con-
fidential intercourse establishes a
bond between parent and child
which is invaluable, and the mind of
the child is greatly enriched, maxi
ing the school lessons easier to
grasp because of the breadth of Wis
ion acquired.
One of my sons teachers told me
The other day that she had never
seen a pupil who could absorb
so easily. I feel quite
sure his progress has been due to
'ur stories and talks rather than to
ny special native ability.
