ZANE GREY'S DESCRIPTION
OF THE GRAND CANYON

Hundreds and thousands of world
famous writers have visited the Grand
Canyon and all have stood appalled,
before the task of describing that
mighty chasm in mere words. Few
have even attempted it. Among that
few is Zane Grey, the novelist, and it
must be admitted that he has done as
we'll as any, far better than most:
"The awfulness of sudden death and
the glory of heaven stunned me. The
thing that had been mystery at twi-
light, lay clear, pure, open in the rosy
hue of dawn. Out of the gates of the
morning poured light which glorified
the palaces and pyramids, purged and
purified the afternoons inscrutable
clefts, swept away the shadows of the
mesas, and bathed that broad deep
world of mighty mountains, stately
spars of rock, sculptured cathedrals
and alabaSter terraces in an artists
dream of color A pearl from heaven
had burst, flinging its heart of fire
into his chasm. A stream of opal
flowed out of the sun, to touch each
peak, mesa, dome, parapet, temple
and tower, cliff and cleft, into the
newborn life of another day.
II sat there for long time and
knew that every second the scene
changed, yet | could not tell how. /
knew | sat over a hole of broken,
splintered, barren mountains; / knew
| could see a hundred miles of the
length of it, and IS miles of the
width Of it, and mile of the depth
of it, and the shafts and rays of rose
light on million glancing, many-hued
surfaces at once, but that knowledge
was of no help to me. / repeated a
lot of meaningless superlatiyes to my
self, and | formed words inadequate
and superfluous. The spectacle was
too elusive, and too great. 1t was life
and death, heaven and hell"

MEAT PACKERS TO PUT ON
EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN

At a special meeting of the whole
sale meat packers of San Francisco
held in the offices of the California
Cattlemen's association on September
3, Dan Millett, chairman of the ma
tional livestock and meat board, point
ed out the need for greater publicity
regarding the true facts about meat.
Millett stated that the producer as
we'll as those interested in the distri-
button of the finished product have
been greatly injured by statements
that meat caused many common all
ments. These statements have no
scientific basis and the true facts
should be known, Millett said.
The work of the national livestock
and meat board was fully explained
and particular attention was called to
the meat essay contests conducted
over the United States during the last
two years. Both years the contests
have been won by California girls, ac-
cording to Millett, and the number of
high school girls competing was 12,-
900 to $4,000.
The meat board is interested in get
ting the true facts before the public
and is not trying to discredit any
other foods, Millett declared. This is
being done through the combating of
false propaganda and through adver-
tising and research work. Research
on the palatability of meat is now be-
ing carried on in three of the largest
universities under a fellowship fund
furnished by the national meat board,
Millett explained.
l. Sehg of the ]. G. Johnson COM
pany expressed the opinion that Cali
fornia is very much in need of educa-
cional work on meat and pointed out
hat in many restaurants and hotels
it was difficult to find proper va
riety of meats on the bill of fare. The
packers were unanimously in favor of
assisting the national program and
expressed themselves as willing to
contribute their support to the move
ment.
r. M. Hagen, assistant managing
director of the California Cattlemen's
association stated that the association
would guarantee the support of all
cattlemen selling cattle through the
organization and that he believed an
assessment of five cents per car would
be readily paid by the producers in
support of the good work being done
by the national board The packers
also agreed to pay five cents per car
on cattle slaughtered.

.HACKENSACK'S MAYOR
ARRESTED LAST FRIDAY
Is Charged With EmbezzIement,
Perjury and FaISification of
Records.

At 1:38 o'clock on Friday afternoon
last Mayor Demarest Campbell of

on a warrant sworn out by the State
Superintendent of Banking and Insur
ance charging him with embezZle.
ment, perjury and Justification of the
records in connection with the recent
Industrial Building and Loan scandal,
where the amazing shortage of about
S290,000 was brought to light late in
December.
Bail IN the amount of $4,000 for all
charges was asked by Justice Moore,
before whom the Mayor was brought,
and upon his failure to pay it he was
committed to JAIL but was later re-
leased when bail was procured.
Mayor Campbell issued statement
today saying:
"The charges made against me by
the representative of the New Jersey
Banking and Insurance Department
are not justified and are absolutely
false.
II am innocent of any wrong-doing
in connection with the Industrial
Building and Loan Association. | will
defend my honesty and integrity to
the limit and do not fear the outcome.
Certain people connected with the
Building and Loan division of the
New Jersey Department of Banking
and Insurance may find themselves in
an uncomfortable position before this
matter is brought to conclusion.
MANY people have inquired as to
whether or not | will continue as May,
or of Hackensack. ! will again say
that there is no good reason why
should not continue.
1T is an easy matter to make a
charge against anyone, but it is diff
ficult matter to convict man of
charge for which there is no real
basis.'
The latest report of the experts
SAYS that the cash .defalcations We're
in the neighborhood OF 100000 A
substantial part of this amount has
been made up by the directors and
shareholders.
An outgrowth of the muddle has
been the demand by Senator Mackay
of Bergen County for a sweeping
legislative investigation OF building
and loan associations and Nanking in
stitutions in this State. The resolu-
ton which was introduced by Senator
Mackay calls for a statewide inquiry
and does not single out Hackensach.
Attorney General Katzenbach is nam
ed in the resolution as counsel. The
resolution passed the Senate on Tues
day evening after hard fight by Sen
ator Mackay, and it is expected to
pass without change in the Assembly.

LOCAL HEALTH BOARD
ENACTS HEAT LAWS
Owners of Buildings Must Provide
Heat from Oct. to April When
Temperature Drops Below 81.

AT recent meeting of the Cliff
side Park board of health the final
reading and enactment into law of a
heat ordinance was accomplished
This ordinance makes it compulsory
on the part of the owner of build
ing in which provisions are made to
supply heat to give heat between the
months of October and April, provid-
ed the outside temperature is below
62 degrees. The ordinance was
passed by the board without a single
word of disSension from property
owners and we take it that such an
act is booked upon with favor.
At this meeting a committee con-
sisting of Edward Farrar, DR.. w. w.
Schmidt and Erwin Goeman was sent
out to revise the recent food-handlers'
ordinance. Their recommendations
are awaited at the next regular meet
ing, February 8. 1t is anticipated
that this committee will recommend
several changes which will greatly
favor the food-handlers throughout
the borough; chief among these
changes is the method of examining.
The board of health makes an ur-
gent appeal to all expectant mothers
and mothers who have recently had
babies to take advantage of the baby
welfare stations conducted by the
board of health and under direct su-
pervision of DR.. William Fesler.
This clinic is approved by the state
department of child hygiene and is
designed primarily to aid in the car
ing of mothers and babies with the
ultimate aim of making better babies.
Everybody should take advantage of
this fine service as the people here
get advice that has been tried out
and which is of real value. The
clinic is in charge of a trained nurse
who cares for and advises the
clinic and who makes personal house
calls between times.
The board has established two
clinics: one in Cliffside school, Pali-
sade and Park avenues, to take care
of those people in Cliffside section;
this is open Mondays from $3.50
O'Clock on. The other is in school
No. 4, Grantwood, on Lawton avenue,
and is open every Wednesday from
$3.50 o'clock on.
The board has also decided to
rigidly enforce its ordinance compell-
ing people throughout the borough to
keep their garbage cans tightly COW
