Legal Opinion as 10 the Pro-

as having given legal opinion as to the
procedure of the Colonial Council in res
pect to the examination of Patents of
Election OF Members for the Council,
consider it but right that the public
should know on what grounds | base this
my opinion, prefacing these explanations,
however, with the remark that | am par

their political or personal differences,
bat only view the matter from a pure
legal standpoint.
Now first l notice that there is made
mention of appointed" members and
elected" members. | am not aware IS
to how the term ''appointed'' has origi

Auto Race Real Laugh
In "Not So Long Ago"

An automobile race which for thrills
rivals that Of the annual Indianapolis
Classic, furnishes real "Smash"
climax in more than one sense of the
word for the Sidney Olcott-Paramount
production, mot SO Long Ago." which
will be shown on Saturday and Sun
day, December 1918, at the Grant Lee
Theatre.
On a street lined with more than
five hundred people-an exact replica
of Fifth Avenue, New York, in the
late '50s-the race is run between the
first horseless carriage ever built and
a man on foot.
Mounted high on the rafting, wood
consuming contraption, Betty Bron-
son, featured with Ricardo Cortez in
the leading roles of the picture, and
Dan Crimmins, who plays her inven-
tive father, race Laurance Wheat, in
en- antiquated track outfit, the remark
able distance of one city block.
Due to faulty start upon the part
of the horseless carriage, it is neces-
sary to begin the race again. The
judges are still trying to decide the
winner, inasmuch as the horseless car
riage blew up just as it was crossing
the finish line.

Christmas 1925
GREETINGS
BY MARY w. TORREY

The good year 1925 is almost gone
Again we approach the celebration of
the supreme event in the worlds his
tory-the birth in Bethlehem of the
worlds Savior, who taught peace on
earth, good will towards men," and
''who went about doing good"
oh, isn't that grand lesson for
us of this time? "The Gospel of un-
derstanding" is the gospel of our
Savior, whose chief desire was to give
to men everywhere fuller and more
abundant life.
Christmas! What world of joy and
happiness just the mere word sug-
gests! We all want "Merrie Christ
mas" Better than all the gifts we
give or receive is that sense of hap
piness and security that proceeds
from the consciousness that all men.
the world over, are coming to a better
understanding. We hope, as we enter
into the Spirit of a new Christmas
day, that we will soon feel that peace
and good will of which the herald
angels sang.

Acknowledgements to generous and,
we fear, partial public. There are
no better people in this broad land
of ours. We hope 1926 will be replete
with nothing but success for them.
We print for enjoyment and inspira-
tion the following anonymous verses:
God grant that in the strife and stress
Which all must face who linger
here
Upon the Field of Hopelessness
Or with the laurel swinging near.
Upon the worlds red firing line
The battle of the strong and weak
The fate of all the Fates be mine
l will not show the yellow streak.
If Fortune play me false or fair
If from the shadowlands l creep
Up to the heights and linger there,
Or topple downward to the deep
On up the rugged path of fame,
Where one man falls-another
mounts;
God grant that l play out the game.
For there is nothing else that
counts.

THE RED CROSS

The world does not seem to be done
with war. Nobody who has the sense
and the courage to face facts is will
ing to say that people are so good and
nations SO kindly disposed toward
each other that the war drums are put
away forever.
So the hope of the world at present
lies in the effort that the kindliest
and the most far-visioned citizen will
put forth to keep conditions as toler-
able as they can be made, in view of
the continuing frailty of the human
being.
History tells us that man is nat
urally a struggler and 6. fighter. He
has come far by these methods But
by these methods he cannot go as far
as he is capable of going
The late Stanley Hall, president Of
Clark. University, once said that man
had not demonstrated his capacity for
remaining permanently civilized. That
remains to be seen. 1t will not be
demonstrated by his fighting strength.
If, then, the hope of better day
at the same time that we are trying to
make them and ourselves better, there
is no greater agency at our hands than
the Red Cross.
Every year the Red Cross cam
paigns for members. Every American
ought to be a member of that organ
ization. There are no exceptions. The
Red Cross deals with folks as they are.
The Red cross meets the immediate
need. The Red Cross takes up the
duty that lies nearest.
1t is che physical savior of the peo-
pie when the great crises come. In
earthquake and in storm, ON the bat
tlefeld and in the stricken home, in
the valley of the shadow of death
the Red Cross raises it's flag and a
definite work to make humanity hap
pier is put under way.

Vincent Talks About Advertising
BY G. NJ VINCENT OF BooNToN, N. j.

friend demands the bargain on the
18th of December, and if you do not
possess sufficient courage to refuse
his request don't try it. In the long
run your customer, even though he
may be disappointed, will respect you
in your refusal and will know that
when the next card comes to print he
must work fast" Remember that
you never lose a customer by sticking
to contract.
BY all means select a method and a
plan of advertising that best seems to
favor the requirements of your busi-
ness. Think it over carefully. Con-
suit with and listen to everyone whom
you may interest in your plans. Let
them talk-everyone knows the old
saying, "Out of the mouths of fools
sometimes comes wisdom"-then go
home and in the quiet of the evening
sweat the plan out. No one will think
on it as you do, and it is almost sure
that you alone will arrive at the best
thing for you to do.
If you do think it out you will do
more in the execution and stick to it
longer than if the plan you adopt is
presented by another. You will love
it because it is yours, coming to life
by the sweat of your brow. Hug it
with the fervor of youth, but be care
ful-don't let her cost you too much
The business of advertising inter-
ests the shrewdest and most intelli-
gent of men. 1t is not profession in
sense, and yet is, requiring great
skill and intelligence You may each
say to yourselves that is queer, but no,
because it is so hazardous because of
waste and such huge sums are at
stake. Just an Instance The Ladies'
Home Journal charges $4,000 for the
back cover space for one issue. In
order to persuade the readers to buy
thousand more is spent for pictures
and copy. AS you notice them they
do not appear wonderful. but they are,
and the talent employed must be of
the best or waste occurs. We all ad-
vertise from birth to the end. The
babe by his cry says | am here, the
very first advertiser. The good house
keeper who is known as such, the
young woman who dresses in good
taste, or even in wretched, for she be-
comes known in her speciality. Then
comes the young man who is known
as square player" All this is adver-
tising as you know it and as it is
known.
Big advertisers used to lie in their
lads" and the public applied the pen
atty of ignoring them; no result ex-
cept big bills which came as a penal
ty. So that now advertisements are
truthful in a major sense. All those
who lie are ignorant, but will become
intelligent when the public applies the
penalty of ignoring them.
The line cost in all publications is
increasing. The New York Times
charges S14 an inch, single column,
one insertion, a four inch "ad" costing
$50. You see how very important it
is that you do not use more words in
your copy than is necessary to put
over the ''story" If your style is not
persuasive, terse, forcible and truthful
there is great waste. If you use eight
words-that is a line-more than nee
essary and the "ad' goes in ten papers
the charge would be SO more than it
should be; besides, the eight useless
words" damage the effectiveness of
the "ad," damage incompatible if the
waste continues.

Loew's 9TH Avenue

When Wilson Collision and Otto Fl.
Herbach settled down to write up
in Mabel's Room" the world famous
farce comedy, next weeks offering
by the Seventh Avenue Stock Com
pany, they must have determined to
crowd into it all of the legitimate fun
they could concoct and get in with
reason. That they accomplished this,
even better than they could have
know, is evidenced by the reception
this first had in New York and on
tour.
The players include Anne Bron-
augh, Henry Hicks, Harold Kennedy,
Russell Fillmore, Flora Gade, Helen
Ray, Vincent Coleman, William JEFF
frey.
The packages for the Kiddies'
Christmas matinee, to be held on
Thursday, the oath, are coming in

quality and of interest to youngsters
from three to twelve.

eight acts, with a special added COM
edy number by Henry Hicks, one of

OPEN THE DOOR or YOUR HEART

Merry Christmas, everybody, from
the PET COLUMN, the Palisadian's
contribution to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in
recognition of their splendid work.
1t is our intention to advertise every
week in this column, FREE OF
CHARGE, for any lost dog, cat Cor any
other peD in Bergen county; also any
found" pet Telephone 131 Cliffside,
or address Mrs. H. D. Reynolds, Pal
isade, any such advertisement.
Also every other week the Palisa-
dian will give two free Grant-Lee The
atre matinee tickets to any grammar
school child in Fort Lee, Palisade,
Grantwood or Cliffside writing the
best composition on subjects to be an
nounced.
This competition will start in next
weeks issue, the subject being WHY
WE SHOULD BE KIND TO AMI
MAILS" The winner will be an
nounced the following week. So get
right to work, children, and get two
tickets for a movie during the holiday
week.
Well have to allow about 200 words
to the composition, and it should be
mailed to Mrs H. D. Reynolds, Pali-
sade, N. j.
1t is the Palisadian's hope that the
grammar schools and high schools
will become actively interested in the
society's work-in fact, so interested
that their efforts will necessitate the
presentation of cup for the most
active school in the county. Some
tition is an excellent thing-and we
certainly have a worthy cause.
1t is also the Palisadian's hope that
everyone will cooperate with the S.
p. C. A, and by cooperation is meant
not only the small contribution nee
essary for the continuation of the So
ciety's work, but by the reporting of
any cases needing the society's atten-
tion and by teaching and practicing
KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

II human nature were not what 1t
is, the Christmas season might not
be one of rush and worry over what
to buy, and sales forces in stores
would not be rushed to exhaustion in
the two or three weeks before the
event. If people did their shopping
when it could be done under the least
congested conditions, it might extend
over months instead of weeks, and it
would not be less seasonable.
However, none but the exceptional
person thinks of doing shopping until
it cannot be put off longer Then it
becomes an ordeal and is so stren-
uous that it tends to rob the season
of the "cheer and good will'' that at
tach to 1t sentimentally. The good
will" might actually pervade the
shoppers were they not overworked
trying to find what they want and
struggling to get it. Yet it would not
be Christmas for lot of people were
it otherwise. They have become so
accustomed to waiting and then max
ing a hurry-up job of it that they
would not feel right were it done be-
times.
Human nature is a peculiar thing
despite the fact that all of us have it.
1t wouldn't be human nature if it
wasn't odd. If we did everything in
a reasonable and sane way we would
not be human beings. We would be
super-human, and that is too much to
expect, 1t is the prerogative of hui
man beings to do as they please, and
of course most of us please to delay
as long as we can the doing of what
we cannot avoid. There may be those
who are forehanded in Christmas
shopping, but they are rare and so
different from the mass that they are
odd, too.
By the way, we must do our shop
ping pretty soon.

POPULAR BOOKS

The man was rather apologetic as
he went to the clerk in the high-toned
book store and insisted that he wanted
good mystery preferably one
dealing with the doings of some super
detective.
Apparently he had the idea that it
was distinctly "low-brow" to read a
mystery story. A lot of people think
so.
But oddly enough, some of the
worlds greatest men liked nothing
better than mystery story for their
idle hours. President Wilson read
them avidly; Lloyd George has long
shelf full of them; you will see them
in a bishops study and in a steel
kings library.
If you like to read them, you can
console yourself by the thought that
you're in good company.

application now. There is no indica-
tion that any respite will be granted
delinquent motorists after January 1.
None should be. Ample notice has
been given. The auto division has
been ready for a long time to issue
the licenses. If part of the public
chooses to ignore the opportunity.
they will get no sympathy if, after
the first of the year, they are arrested
