ating football artists of the Normal

puted state conference title. As

season for the honors this makes
five state championship football
teams for the Red & White since the
organization Of the conference.
Superior put up game fight bus
was clearly outcIassed and out guess
ed in every department Of the game
on Kramer Field Saturday. Early in
the first quarter Captain Matt Me-
son speared a Superior pass, and at
ter a spectacular run Of SO yards,
put the home boys on the Superior
l0-yard line, from which Quandt, the
hard hitting half from Wausau
carried over the first touchdown in
two more plays The point after the
touchdown failed, The Superior
boys were on the defensive most Of
the time. Quandt scored again in the
second quarter, making the count Il
to at the end of the half.
The Red & White warriors were
not to be denied, for during the sec
ond half they piled up bigger score
than in the first. In the third quarter
Captain Nelson, playing the best
game of his career, made two touch
downs for his team. Gibson and
Brooks adding point each after
touchdown. During the fourth quart
er Coach Cox sent in substitutes for
most every position, and after a few
good runs by Glass, Horak scored
the final touchdown for the home
team. Final score 33 to 0.

ference team has scored against the
home boys, while they have counted
SO points in four games Five of the
men, Capt. Nelson, Ingli, Rademach-
en-, Heggen and Quandt, have played
their last game. After three years
CT brilliant work, they must make

THE SCANDINAVIAN
BELL RINGERS
TO VISIT RIVER FALLS

The famous Scandinavian Bell
Ringers will give one of their re
markable exhibitions of hand bell
ringing at the Normal auditorium
Wednesday, Dec. 2, at o'clock p. m.
The fame of these players has spread
over Northern Europe and America
with almost the rapidity of a con-
fagration. Beginning at Springfield,
Mass, on the last week of the year,
they have since performed before
about a million people in America.
On the night of their American de-
but at the Springfield auditorium,
they played to three thousand six
hundred people. Two weeks later
they were given a return engage
ment. On this second occasion the
audience was over four thousand
eight hundred, and thousands were
turned away. On all occasions where
this highly skilled quintet has APP
peared, hundreds have been unable to
get standing room.
The press, the critics, and the pub
lie in all cities in which these men
have played, have been unanimous in
their praise of the surprising beauty
and charm Of the music extracted eX-
tracted from the bells they play.
Fifty years ago, as the old folks
will remember, band of Bell Ringers
came from Switzerland, and for two
or three years delighted the Ameri-
| can people with their bell music,
They then returned to Europe, and
since that time no successors worthy
of the name have been heard in this
country until now.
The Scandinavian Bell Ringers
have developed and beautified the art
of bell ringing hundredfold, and
after years of incessant study and
hard work have put bell ringing to
the forefront of musical art. They
are five skilled players manipulating
189 to 200 special constructed bells,
ranging in weight from a few ounces
to Is pounds.
The set of hand bells used this
year are new, and took over one year
to construct by one of the oldest bell
| concerns in the world.
They do not strike these bells to
produce the notes, but by grasping
leather thongs attached to the bells,
and with delicate skill jerking them
in rapid succession, they send forth
sweet music in perfect harmony, as
no other bell ringers have ever done
The bells are not like any other bells,
but have been made specially in ac-
cordance with the scientific know
ledge acquired by these players in
years Of experiment and the world
has never before heard bells produce
the thrilling tones and lingering ca
dcnce that these bells send forth.
The scandinavian Bell Ringers
play programmes embracing a wide
repertoire which includes the most
glorious symphonies, as well as the
sweet folk music of the romantic
Kingdoms of the North Sea
The concert is given under the
auspices of the Swedish Mission
church. Admission SO and IS cents.

VICTORY IN DEFEAT

The defeat of Louis Hoebel, Jr., at
the Fort Lee election, as stated in The
Palisadian, was victory in defeat" !"
This is literally true. 1t proved that
in the older sections of the borough
where he was raised, and where he
was in closer touch with the people,
where the most of his affiliations and
activities have centered, he was the
stronger candidate for Mayor, having
carried the five other precincts by a
majority of IA votes. 1t was Pali-
sade's vote that overwhelmed Hoebel.
But when his conduct in the campaign,
his bearing, his fairness, his modest
demeanor, are taken into considera-
tion, it all revealed him as man pos
sessed of a strength to be reckoned
with. His course in the campaign was
unobtrusive and manly, all of which
is to his credit Mr.. Hoebel has rea-
son to be proud of his record in the
campaign. That Palisade should have
chosen the Mayor was the result of a
very strongly organized force OF
workers.

THE MOTOR BUS CRAZE

The motor bus has pretty nearly set
the country wild. The new craze has
struck the east long after it had swept
over the west. And now comes Ber-
gen county into the race. Almost any
county paper records ordinances that
have recently passed many municipal
councils authorizing various motor bus
companies to operate from points all
over Bergen into New York. So badly
has the new transportation system
eaten into the railroads that the latter
are engaged finding methods to stop
the inroads upon their dividend earn
ing capacity. Some of them have pro-
posed to seek relief through the legis-
lature Hackensack, Englewood, Pat
erson, Lodi, Leonia and scores OF 9TH
er points in northern and eastern New
Jersey have all gone full-fiedged into
the bus line business. The trolley
companies also have been hard hit
through the Public Service, scenting
the possibilities of the bus line oppo-
ating its own bus lines in open compe-
tition with other bus companies. The
competition between the bus compa-
nies has now reached a stage where
the "de luxe" type of car is playing
great part. When the Paterson buses
were first put into operation they
were of ordinary build, without fancy
frills of equipment. Now, however,
competition has brought out many
startling buses that rival the finest
Pullmans. Paterson buses at first be-
gan to charge so for the round trip to
New York, but they are now down to
$1.25, rs cents one way. Some OF
these new buses are of wonderful
beauty, with fine riding qualities that
appeal. 1t is new industry, and man
ufacturers are said to be away behind
on orders so great is the demand. One
of the New York-Nyack-Englewood
buses that crosses the Edgewater fer
~ IA actually palatial and was made
by the Pierce-Arrow people. There is
a hne from Fort Lee to Edgewater
also. 1t looks like the change was a
healthy investment or so many mil
lions of dollars would not have been
put into it.

Our Modern Times

The romance of historic scenes,
famed in song and story, is fast dis
appearing before the advance of sci
ence and the march of progress.
The River Shannon" is being har-
messed for hydro-electric develop
ment, motor cars churn up the mud
on the Road to Mandalay," a rail-
road runs through Sherwood Forest
where Robin Hood disported, and a
large dam is being built ''Over Jor-
dan"
Thus sinbs the poet:
There's dam that stops the water
Where the River Shannon flows,
And concrete road that leads to
Mandalay;
Tho Machree still stands for mother,
Erin's gal you'd hardly know,
Silver threads among the gold are
bobbed today.
Annie Laurie runs for gov'nor on her
glib-tongued promise true,
And My Bonnie lies-for lying's all
the rage
While my Irish Rose gets wilder on
the stuff Of modern brew,
AS my Nellie Gray (the darlinO
strikes for wage.
o that Long, Long Trail Windin'
isn't windin' any more,
In no Shady Lane can lover go alone
For they've Strengthened out the high
way where the autos bang and roar
And the LANE" is now an anti-park-
ing zone.
Now can stand for the sub-divin'
on the southern Swanee shore,
And the bliss of Lovers Lane I'm
game to lose;
Modern science is blessing, most
romantic days are DER,
But when they dam the River Shan
non, dams the proper word to use.

SENDS UNUSUAL
AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE
FOR HOUSEHOLD ENTENTE

Perhaps the most unusual Ambas-
sador ever sent to France to sustain
the firm friendship between the peo-
pie of the two countries will set sail
for Paris on November 27, according
to the New Jersey Public Utility In
formation Committee. This ambas-
sador, having taken up quarters in
Section of the International Exhibit
ton of Household Appliances and
Labor Saving Devices, will demon
strate to the men and women of
France how American inventive gen.
ius have driven drudgery from the
home and increased comforts and
luxuries. The ambassadors official
title will be the american Home"
The kitchen and the laundry of the
American Home will undoubtedly
make the French women rub their
eyes in amazement. For this model
home will introduce to French wo-
men, devices which though known to
American women are rarely seen or
heard of in France, such as the vac
uum cleaner, washing and ironing
machines, fireless cookers, electrical
refrigerator, and numerous other
devices.
The American Section of the In
ternational Exhibition of Household
Appliances and Labor Saving Devices
may we'll cause revolution in the
French household" according to
Arthur Williams, vice president of
the New York Edison Company, who
recently returned from a trip to
France. French women of all
classes will be astounded to see the
great diversity and usefulness of
American mechanical devices. Elec-
trical service is available everywhere
in France, but it is used almost ex-
clusively for lighting, for the many
wonderful electrical devices SO COM
mon in American homes, are practl-
cally unknown to the great majority
of French women. The American
Home should serve to strengthen the
strong bond of friendship, existing
between the French and the Ameri-
can peoples"

LAW AND ORDER BEGIN AT
HOME

To the Editor of the Evening Post:
Sir-President Coolidge says that
more religion is needed before crime
in this country can be diminished.
This is a sane argument. The United
States is the most lawless nation
in the world. And it is getting worse.
The daily press everywhere has more
stories of crime than any other topic.
President Coolidge is right. He
says he knows mo source of moral
power greater than religion"
Well, then, what is the source OF
religion?
Is it the church? Today the church
is impotent except for thinking peo-
pie.
Is it the home, that haven for all
moral rectitude? Yes, thousand
times yes!
But what of the home of today? ?
Does it teach the child the meaning
of God and religion? Look around
you. Arraigning boys and girls for
loose social lives is useless effort
unless parents will draw the line and
use their authority over growing
youth-with force, If necessary. Loose
life, careless life, with boys and
girls develops an utter lack of re-
spect for religious principles.
There isn't any doubt that the child
of today is shamefully neglected in
the matter of being permitted to have
his way. The new idea adopted by
the majority is the look of disap-
proval as against the command of
Don't" or "You shall not"
Isn't it fact that children of to-
day have a thousand liberties over
the children of yesterday? Isn't it
true that child liberty fiourishes?
Failure to restrain children is the
cause Of our great crime wave. One
thing is true: If the child is not
taught the heart of religious senti-
ment young, he will not take it up
voluntarily when older.
The answer to a lack Of religion
is in the thought of restrain your
children.

GIRLS BROUGHT UP AT HOME
BEST

The president of southern college
is more alarmed about modern young
people than l have been. He tells us
that "the world has never known the
turning loose of such an army of hard
drinking, cigarette-puffing, licentious
Amazons as walk our streets and in
wade our campuses today" AS a
remedy he 'would like to wiring the
necks of some of them" He is cer-
tain, too, that the "uneducated girl is
apt to be the safest, the sweetest, and
the most serene" | also think
that the most womanly girls are those
brought up in families rather than in
dormitories at co-educational institu-
tions. Girls get lot of notions when
away from home attending school that
rob them of more than they usually
get in the way of education.-Howe's s

stirring world story, which opens at.
the Astor Theatre, New York, Friday

step forward with the public showing
of this production which contains a.
great love story and abounds in hui,
manity and humor.
The theme deals with phase of
the World War, but that mighty
theme is handled for the first time not
politically nor as melodramatic spec
tacle but the intimate drama of the.
individuals who struggled, fought.
loved and suffered.
The first-nighters will see John

THE VILLAGE NEWSPAPER

The village newspaper is a peculiar
institution. First, it has to please
everybody. If it doesn't it catches
Hades from the opposing side of any
issue It advocates. If in its humble
opinion a candidate it had the honor
to support happens to win the village
paper is congratulated; If the other
side wins the side it supported gives
the paper birthstone. or course 1t Is
everyone's privilege to take sides IN
village affairs except the editors. HE
hasn't any privileges and his opinion
is always to be discounted when 1t
isn't discredited. The village newspa-
per dares to call it's soul it's own when
it is asleep. Sentiment, views, ideas,
faith--all go by default. The right of
existence vouchsafed to the village
newspaper is based ON by our leave.'

LENiNE A SAINT!

Within a few months after Napo-
leon became dictator of France, condi-
tions began to improve, and improve
ment continued until France was al
most mistress of the world.
But under the absolute rule of
Lenine, the Russian people suffered as
no other people have suffered in world
history. He might have become a
Benevolent Despot, and helped his
country without loss of glory or profit
to himself, but because he lacked in.
telligence, he adopted Communism.
There cannot be found single ex-
cuse for him. He was a bloody-minded
scoundrel, and never had an idea that
was not either criminal or foolish.
Lenine saint? God will consign
him to hell for a million years, and
then sentence him to longer term
for other crimes. No man in history
has been guilty of as many cruel muir
ders or caused as much suffering

TEACHING HIM YOUNG

A friend of ours, just back from
Florida. tells us this story concerning
the real estate market in that COM
monwealth.
Our friend was sitting in a res
taurant at Miami, gazing at some sixty
men in knickerbockers showing maps
to wild-eyed prospects, and wondering
what it was all about. Over at one
table an irate mother was whaling a
small youngster of seven. No one
seemed to pay any attention to the
screams of the youngster, but finally
the newcomer asked a waiter:
What is the mother whipping the
little youngster so numerically for?"
The waiter, looking up from map
of his own, grinned. "Oh, the little
DEVILS profits from his real estate
sales totaled only thirty-seven thou
sand dollars yesterday, and she's whip
ping him for it."-Howe's Monthly.
