To the present generation it means
little. But to the old boys of another
time who used to drive up in smart
rigs in summer, or cutters in winter,
the passing of Nungesser's, the famous
hostelry at the end of Bergenline ave-
nue., and on the line between Hudson
and Bergen counties, is matter or re-
gret and one that brings back recollec-
tions of another age.
The old place with it's wide veranda
and famous tap room was in the days
of the old Gutenberg race track a
favorite resort for the sportive ele-
ment of the metropolitan district. Old
Pop Nungesser acted as mine host
to many a party of distinguished
horsemen, trainers, jockeys and sports,
The shades are drawn in the old
room where Salvador and Tenny were
matched to race that record-breaking
race. True, those thoroughbreds with
hearts of oak ran it off at Monmouth
Park, but here the race was arranged
and the side money placed in Pop
Nungesser's strong box. Here Isaac
Murphy and Fred Taral, leading
Jockeys of their day, received their
riding instructions.
Here Wall street men, in the favor
ite raiment of the day-the silk topper
would gather after the races and

Ku Klux Parade
In Hackensack Had
A Humorous Side

Over a thousand Bergen county
klansmen and Klanswomen partici.
pated in the K. X. K automobile
parade in Hackensack, RidgefieId Park
and Bogota on last Saturday night.
There were about 800 cars in line,
carrying white robed figures in full
regalia but unmasked.
There was no disturbance any.
where along the line reported and
good natured crowds, including repre-
sentatives of the white and black
races and all creeds watched the pro-
cession with little comment.
Because Main street is so narrow
many autoists were forced by traffic
conditions to add to the total of 800
"Klan Kars" and this created a rather
humorous situation in that MANY
motor vacationists of the Jewish faith
and even Catholic priest were to be
seen for short time in the parade.
Following the parade DR.. Edward M.
Young of Jersey City delivered an ad-
dress in North Hackensack. His sub
jeet was "The Faith of Our Fore
fathers" His address was well
received and was followed by fire.

Camden Bridge Squabble
(Editorial)

The Camden bridge muddle gets
worse and worse. The chairman
of the New Jersey board on the
bridge while admitting that tolls
were a part of the agreement in the
first place, says he thinks that
work should not be stopped, but al
low the whole thing to be threshed
out when the bridge is ready to be
inaugurated What folly! What
politics! The whole truth is that
South Jersey is in league with the
Pennsylvania political hucksters,
and there is a gentleman down there
who is strangely silent on this
Camden bridge matter. If Senator
Edge is to be credited with build
ing the Camden bridge, he ought to
have the CUTS to stand up in behalf
of the people who put him where
he is and say to Pennsylvania,
Nothing doing" on the tolls ques-
ton. 1t may be all right to make
the Camden bridge free when it is
paid for, but a states note of
many millions of dollars out of the
taxpayers pockets should not be
cast aside merely because a hue
and cry is made aginst tolls. The
tolls compact was solemn one
and not 'gentlemen's agreement"
They are going to make the new
vehicular tunnel pay for itself in
tolls, and the autoists will gladly
pay the bill. So would the Camden
bridge patrons. Stop the work un-
til the politicians can be shut up.

Mgr. La Mar Vieau
Explains Absence
Of Grantwood Team
To the Editor.

To the Editor:
The question was asked in the Pail,
sadian last week as to where is the
Grantwood Athletic baseball team
who were looking for support. If the
writer of the article was present last
Sunday at the high school grounds he
would have received his answer. Mr.
| Vieau, manager of the team, was away
on his vacation and due to some mis-
understanding, Mr.. j. Gerrity, who
was in charge, was not able to get a
team together for the game on Sunday,
August 8, notwithstanding the fact
that he did everything in his power
to pick up team for that game. A
large number of the players are out of
town on Sundays and this makes it
very difficult to put good team on
the field every Sunday
On Sunday, August 16, fine game
was played at the high school grounds
between the Community Club of Pali-
sade Park and the Grantwood A. C.
The score was to in favor of Grant
wood up to the eighth inning when
Palisade scored one run on an infield
fly which should have been called out
by the umpire, as there was man on
first base at the time. The batting
order for Grantwood was as follows:
Hafley, right field; Doyle, shortstop; !;
Wellinghorst, second base and pitch; !;
Wellinghorst, second base and pitch
er; Munley, catcher; Delaney, third
base; Hozier, first base; j. Gerrity,
pitcher and second base; Gribbins, left
field; Richcreek, center field.
Joe Gerrity pitched a fine game but
withdrew in the ninth to allow Ritchie
Wellinghorst an opportunity to work
out for one inning. The batting of
Wellinghorst and the fine fielding of
Eddie Delaney were the main features
of the game. The team work as a
whole was as fine as could be expected
and certainly answered the question
as to where the Grantwood A. c. team
was. They sure were there" on Sun
day.
Next Sunday the team will travel to
Coytesville, where they will face the
pitching of Gerald Gerrity, their old
first baseman. They expect to give
him good beating.
Very truly yours,
LIE Mar J. Vieau.

DISPATCH PEN PUSHER WRITES GOOD
SOB STORY ON PASSING OF NUNGESSERs

were as plentiful as the daisies in the
field
OF the old race track but little is left
but it's unsavory memory. If one is a
close observer, a ride up Bergenline
avenue discloses the fact that the
march of progress and the quest for
homes has converted it into a resi-
Dental district But vestige of it
remains. Close by a handsome resi-
dence still may be seen the turn at
what was once the first quarter. Here
the hoofs of Dry Monopole, Hidalgo
and other famous racers of their day
were heard. Now one hears but the
hum of motors and the honk of auto
mobile horns.
Even following the closing of the
Jersey tracks, Nungesser's continued
to be a favorite place for the sports
to gather. Following the death of
Henry Nungesser, Pops son, some
months ago, the place was leased, and
for while hideous jazz airs profaned
he air in the very ioCm whore ,AoGs-
ands of dollars were wagered on the
outcome of a race, and where at one

pay at Nungesser's. The place is now
closed, though the memory lingers.-

Fairview Cemetery as the scene of an
attempted suicide on last Wednesday
morning and is now in the hospital

Coytesville Cars
Cuts Junction
Stores Trade

The Coytesville through car to the
Edgewater ferry has played a peculiar
prank upon the stores at Palisade
Junction. Coytesville people did a
lot of spending at Palisade Junction
while waiting for connecting cars to
and from the ferry. The owner of the
Palisade Dry Goods Store said the
other day, THAT was an awful blow
to me- Coytesville people spent lot
of money with us They liked our
stock and ran in here between trains
in large numbers every day. | think
it cuts us out of not less than one
third of our sales. The Drug Store is
in the same boat. They got a lot of
Coytesville trade, such as cigars,
papers and magazines, soda water,
toilet goods and the like. That
through schedule was bad day for
the Junction stores"

New Features For
1926 Auto Plates
Big Improvement

Announcement is made by State
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Dill
that several innovations in the New
Jersey system of numbering automo-
bile license plates will be made next
year.
The new system is expected to aid
officials in determining more quickly
the county from which a designated
car comes.
1t is planned to designate each coun-
ty by a letter placed before the num-
ber. Numbers will start at 1,001 for
each county, and official cars will bear
special letters-SG for state official
cars, CG for county cars and MIG for
municipal cars.
The new colors chosen for 1926
plates is a Princeton orange back
ground with white numerals.
The letters for the counties are as

If 4 variable condenser is inserted
in the antenna lead. of the circuit as
shown. in Fig. 3, or as q matter of
fact 1t may be inserted in the ground
lead between the ground and the
coll. the effect is to introduce a series
condenser, but this does not change
the electrical representation of the
antenna circuit as shown In Fig. ., be-
cause the only effect of the introduc-
tion of the series condenser in the
circuit is to reduce the amount of
capacity in the circuit, or In other
words. 1t merely has the same effect
as reducing the value Of capacity Of
condenser c in Fig. 2. This is be-
cause the capacity Of two condensers
in series is less than the capacity Of
either condenser.
If, on the other hand, the variable
condenser is connected across the in
ductance coil, as shown in Fig. 4, the
effect is. that of increasing the capac-
ity of c in Fig. 2, because by con-
Meeting a condenser, as shown in Fig.
