Tuesday. evening and desire To- make
the following interesting announce
ments for the pre-Christmas season.
There will be four productions for

"Kempy," bright, clean comedy, is
now under rehearsal, Miss Marjorie

ing cast; Mr.. and Mrs. Butolph, Miss
Nancy Bowman, DR.. ]. White, Miss
Eleanor Pennell, Miss Dorothy Schall,
Mrs. Guy L. Seaver and Mr.. Allan
Carson, Jr.
It will be of interest to many old
friends and acquaintances OF Mr.. AL
Ian Carson, Sr. and the late Mrs. Car
son to note that their son, who grew
I'D in Palisade and has been absent
for some years at college and business,
has now Joined the Community Play

his parents used to do in past years
in the Comedy Club of Grantwood, to
which the Community Players is such
worthy successor. Allan comes from
Brooklyn for rehearsals and meetings,
evidently inheriting the family taste
and talent for dramatics.
The second play, soon following, is
"The Hottentot," a very humorous
farce, in which Mr.. Samuel Darby, an
other favorite Palisade resident Of old,
will not only take the leading part,
but also coach it.
Patrons of the organization have a
very pleasant program to which to
look forward

BLAMING THE SUN

Certain astronomers in Europe are
holding the spots on the sun respon'
sib1e, for alleged abnormalities of the
weather during the present summer.
1t must be said, however, that they
have adduced no scientific evidence
on which a verdict of guilty can log
ically be rendered.
The sun that shines on Europe is
the same sun that shines on this side
of the Atlantic, and it has no long
time in which to change the charac-
ter of its spots while passing from
one continent to the other. But in
spite of the prediction that we were
to have very unusual summer in
America, the weather actually record
ed has been virtually normal. The
narrowly localized exceptions that
may be pointed out are merely part
of that normality.
One would like to know, then, how
conditions on the surface of the sun
could be responsible for marked
rope and still give us an entirely nor
NAL summer over here. The rational
conclusion seems to be that such va
riations from normality as Europe
has received are due to causes so
much nearer home than the sun that
they have not noticeably affected our
part of the earth's surface. And the
question arises, too, whether a care
full compilation of data would not
show that the weather abnormalities
in Europe have pertained, not to the
continent as a whole, but only to GER
tain parts OF it. The information is
that crops in large areas of Europe
are very good, which does not indi'
cate seriously abnormal weather
Finally competent astronomers denv
any evidence of abnormality in the
sun spots themselves.

"Courting" at 49th Street
Theatre, Shubert Play

Lee Shubert is presenting Archi-
bald Forbes Scottish Players in the
quaint new comedy, "Courting," at
the Forty-ninth Street Theatre.
The entire cast and production
comes intact from long and sue
cessful engagement at the Garrick
Theatre, London. 1t is the first ap-
pearance of the players in America.
"Courting," written by A. Kenward
Matthews, a Scotch physician resid-
ing in London, is a charming comedy
of small town life in the Scotland of
today. Unlike other Scottish plays,
it was written especially for perform
ance in Caledonia. It's people are
such as one may find in any Scottish
village.
1t is a romance of two pairs of low
ers, struggling for their love against
the older generation. "To dance or
not to dance" is the burning ques-
tion of the hour, with the militant
minister, the narrow minded, tight
fisted old farmer and his wife array
ed against the young folk, who cry
out for the harmless pleasures of life.
It's witty lines have a Barrie-like
quality; its quaint settings breathe of
the heather covered Highlands, and
there is an indefinable charm about
the comprehensive dialect in which
its characters speak. 1t will take it's
place as among the most important
foreign importations of the year.
Archibald Forbes, director of the
players, brings to the American thea
tre scholarly understanding of the
theatre and it's ways. Associated in
the past with such sterling actors as
Sir Herbert Tree, Sir Henry Irving,
Sir George Alexander, he has school
ed his company and staged his play
with consummate art.
The cast includes Denzil Mather,
Jean Clyde, Betty Lely, Jean Doug
las Wilson, J. Nelson Ramsay John
Duncan, Vernon Sylvaine and Angus
Adams.

PALlsADIANs IN CALIFORNIA

In a talk with The Palisadian this
week, fellow townsman William Hol-
linger tells Of the progress of former
Palisadians who have made success
in California. He gets off one of his
trite sayings, "If you want to make a
success, live in Palisade, then go to
California" This brings up the
thought that in reality Palisade itself
is composed of successful people, so
that it is no wonder those who live in
California should continue what they
mostly began in Palisade. AT any
rate, there is something wholesome
in what Mr. Hollinger has said, and
he may with just pride be included.
There are few recorded instances of
men coming to New York without
good capital, going straight into that
channel of big doers, Fifth Avenue,
and getting to the top. Mr.. Hollinger
started on the proverbial shoestring,
hung out his shingle and went ahead.
It wasn't with a rush that he moved
along A good friend put in few
hundred dollars with him (not thou
sands), and was later bought out.
And then, because he had vision and
energy, he commenced climbing grad
ually, until today he stands as the
recognized leader in his profession in
America. William Hollinger had tai
ent which he put to good use. He
had a principle to which he concen-
trated both talent and labor. He
went on and on until he climbed high.
So 1t is no wonder that when out in
California he should observe his for
mer townsmen reaching out in the
Golden West and making successful
careers. And there is something tails
manic about our little village that
makes men look up and out There
is location for one thing, where the
view has spread out before us the
greatest of all cosmopolitan cities Of
the world, and where the atmosphere
Is pure and fine, and where men build
homes and plan and work to attain
goals. They labor in the big city
over the way and come to Palisade,
where those great essentials of life,
home and rest, await them each day
Palisade and it's forward going neigh
Dor, Grantwood, are twin towns, two
Of kind, that have grown together,
two Meccas for the workaday men
who strive.

RANDOM NOTES
The Art of Self Expression

| was reading in Henry Ford's Dear
born Independent the other day n
beautifully conceived article on the
subject of Expressing Yourself; A
Study of Phases of elf-Expression, "
by Thomas L. Mason. | wish every
person in the world could read it, for
it certainly shows US the way to be-
have, and to attain those heights OF
conduct that win us the respect of our
fellows. There are so many refine
ments and exaltations of the better
side of man in this article that it.
should form basis of conduct for any
one who reads it. Self-expression
breaks out in the oldest, yet the most
natural places. The analogy between
Theodore Roosevelt and President
Coolidge is cited in this article. "The
relationship between self-expression
offers grand field of speculation for
the student. Roosevelt in his siren
uous way left behind him a string
of expletives. His You're a liari'
has scarcely lost its novelty. Appar-
emily reckless in his volubility, he yet
succeeded in striking home, his sin
cerity and Americanism carrying him
through. But think of the difference
between him and President Coolidge,
with whom self-expression seems to
be form of silence All writer's on
style having emphasized this re-
straint, Art being commonly defined
as knowing what to omit"

Spree Ends Disastrously
For Local Man Tues. Eve,

Peter (Sonny) Noonan, twenty,
twenty-one, of West New York were
arrested in Union City on Tuesday
night after, it is charged, they as
saulted two saloon keepers on Pali-
sade avenue, Union City, and attempt
ed to rob a cash register. Sam Lar
son, better known as "The Swede,"
was struck so hard by one of the
men that his false teeth were broken
Both men were on a spree, accord
ing to police. They went in taxicab
to Rupprecht's saloon, Gardner street
and Park avenue, Union City, started
a row after they entered rear room
and then struck "The Swede."
Hans Rupprecht when he attempt
ed to intercede was roughly handled
He was thrown up against the edge
of the bar, receiving black and blue
marks on the back of his head and
across the back. Before other pa
irons were able to interfere Sonny
and Doyle lurched from the saloon
and entered the waiting taxi.
At Otto Walbrecht's saloon, at Pal
isade avenue and Lewis street, Union
City, they entered quietly, but soon
found fault with other customers.
Walbrecht took hand in the pro-
ceedings and Noonan, according to
police, seized the elder Walbrecht by
the throat and attempted to pull him
over the top of the bar. The younger
Walbrecht called for police.
Rupprecht lodged charges of as
sault and battery and attempt to rob
against Noonan and charge of as
sault and battery against Doyle. Wal
brecht laid charges of drunk and dis
orderly against both.-Record.

Pudding Stones
Thrown by Gibson North for
the Benefit of the People

1t was interesting to watch the
Hylan- Walker campaign from the safe
distance of the Palisades. The Hylan
party proved very bad acts on
the Walker party and Walker re-
turned with the same. And yet
each was asking the other to
vote for himself in the event Of
defeat in the primary. Usually a
municipality of the same political
opinion suffers-but not so in New
York, where the prizes are large, tend
ing to create parties within parties,
who correctly describe each other to
the voters There are very few voters
in New York who are ignorant of the
sordidness of both sections One will
win securing endorsement of the peo-
pie and according to our system are
commended for the abuses. The Re-
publican candidate, quite likely best
fitted for the job, is given the same
attention in the race as the nominee
for the Vice Presidency.

In Auto Collision

Little Ruth lorenzo, of 1855 Edge
wood lane, Grantwood, was seriously
hurt few days ago in an automobile
accident in Grantwood, when the car
driven by her father collided with a
passenger bus in Anderson avenue.
She had a bad cut on the side of her
head as she went through the wind
shield, the wonder being that she was
not dangerously hurt. Her sister,
who was in the car, and the father,
were unhurt

Anderson avenue is now open as
far south as Gorge road and a large
number of motorists are now taking
that route, with corresponding de-
crease in the traffic on upper Palisade
avenue. The section of Anderson ave-

water road will soon be completed.
Work on the southern end, between
Day and Fairview avenue, is progress,

MARRIAGE LAWS

Michigan now has a law aimed at
preventing hasty marriages and
elopements. You have to wait five
days before receiving your marriage
license after applying for it,
In this age of motor cars such
law can accomplish little. It's too
short ride to the state line. Nebras-
ka recently tried such law without
success.
The only solution seems to be uni
form marriage and divorce laws Ell
ther through federal enactment or
concerted action by the states.

According to the police, Beck start
ed across Route No. 10, coming from

the view of Sawallisck. He was

Coolidge carried New Jersey by
BIT 1000. And yet for the past fifteen
years we have had but one Repub-
lican Governor. One of our able Re-
publican political leaders deplores this
record. No doubt he lies awake try
ing to solve the problem. 1t is not a
difficult problem to solve; it is a diff
cult condition to correct. One must
first come to sincerely believe in the
precise judgment Of the people, mean
| ing that what is known as politics"
in government must be reduced to
the minimum. Our Governor, Dem
ocrat, calls a special session to pre-
sent nominations for important offices
that are vacant. The interests of the
people demand that they be filed, the
Republicans refuse to act on men
nominated by Democratic Governor
That is politics" 1t does not make
for confidence among the people in
the Republican Legislature. 1t does
not reduce the terrific majority in
Hudson County. 1t may, though that
is doubtful, maintain the Republican
majorities in Republican counties.
There are many independent votes in
Hudson County but they will not
trade in the Republican shop unless
the merchandise is better Reduce
prices by giving the people better gov.
ernment for less money and the votes
will drift in as customers do in we'll
run shop. No one remembers of Cool
idge promising to do this very thing
but he is doing it and the people saw
it long before the politicians-evi-
dence that the public intelligence is
superior to that of the practised poll
tician.

Origin of Gossip

Mason closes his article on "Ex
pressing Yourself" in a paragraph
which gets down to the root of the
meaning of common town gossip in
manner | have never seen equalled
He says: "Can you express yourself?
When we Americans, each in his own
bailiwick, come to examine this ques-
tion for ourselves, in the light of our
practical, everyday life, we shall soon
discover that our capacity for self-ex-
preston is the greatest asset we
have that the understanding of it,
and it's intensive cultivation, are Of
supreme Importance. How can it
be done? We may belong to the first,
second or third class | have defined,
but in any case the problem is the
same. We must learn to express the
truth in us. And that is very diff
cult.
''If any one will examine the state
ments he makes in one day only, he
will be astonished to learn that most
of these statements are founded on
hearsay. We are great repeaters.
We accept what we hear and, from
habit of mental laziness, assimilate
it readily as our own, and deliver It
as gospel to the first man we meet.
How many young men, starting out in
business, with something to sell, take
the word of some one else as to the
value of the product we are selling.
Now in nine cases out of ten this
product they are selling may be ex-
actly as represented, but by getting
their information secondhand they
lose out all along the line, for with.
out enthusiasm there is small hope of
success, and enthusiasm must be
based on accurate, first-hand knowl-
edge. A list of the lies and scandals
which sweep through any community
in the course of one week and die
out to be succeeded by others would
be pitiable reading. Self-expression
the keynote to success. must be
based on determination, and. self
examination must lead to truth Ask
yourself constantly, is THIS TRUE?
Your power of self-expression will
grow, in proportion as you learn to
discriminate between what is true
and what is false" C. T. l..

Every One Has EXPRESSION

The most ordinary person has a
form of self-expression. The barber
expresses himself through the medium
of his razors, and there is as much
character and sublimation in barber
or shoemaker as in a lawyer or
philosopher. Sublimation is a won
derful word, it's meaning being poorly
understood by the large majority.
1t is the art of refining, separating
the dross from the gold in stones or
character Sublimation has the ele.
ments of self-effacement in its make
up, for it is the most refining of any
known influence upon human charac.
ter. There is so much in this article
on expression, it isn't long, that all
should read it. 1t is an eye.opener
on many of our everyday faults.

There is room for first class leader
in politics in both parties. This may
be said of Senator Whitney. His
record in the Legislature shows he
has been opposed to extravaganza.
He has been honest and faithful dur
ing his service, punctual in his attend
ance at the sessions and has been bold
enough to take decided stands against
his own party's measures when they
appeared opposed to the public good.
