part in the play. The New York
Sun" recently alluded to the 'im-
pressive brevity of Sidney Elliott" re-
ferring to the fact that two seasons
back there were those who were left
gasping at Albert Bruning's impress
sive endurance. Speaking further
the "Sun" says: Elliott has one of
the shortest parts on Broadway. A
dozen lines are his to speak, barring
two Yes, sirs' and No, SIR But in
that dozen chopped up lines, including
the Yes. sirs' and No, sir Elliott
has managed to project whole biog-
raphy across the footlights."
Young Elliott is just over his teens
and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
NJ Elliott, of Montclair. He early be-
gan to give expression to his stage
ideals by running away to ride a pony
in a circus and taking later small
speaking parts with a travelling
troupe. He is not by himself in en-
phasizing the meaning and eloquence
of brevity. Cicero tells us that
"Brevity is a great praise of elo-
quence." And Shakespeare said, 1--WE
must be brief when traitors brave the
field" a consolation, no doubt, to
young Elliott in his brief part in
"What Price Glory" Southey, also,
treated brevity with a charming de-
gree of feeling. "Be BRIEF he said,
for it is with words as with sun
beams-the more they are condensed
the deeper they burn" And Alfred
Bougeart wrote: "The more an idea
is developed, the more concise be.
comes it's expression; the more
tree is pruned, the better it's fruit"
"Brevity never fatigues, therefore
brevity is always welcome guest
said Theophile Gautier. Perhaps Sid
ney Elliott had a thought from Jay
in mind when he took the part of
'Iewisohn" in What Price Glory:
Il saw one excellency was within my
reach-it was brevity; and l deter
mined to obtain it." And there is one
big consolation to him in the words
of Fenelon: "The more you say, the
less people remember" Henry Ward
Beecher wrote these words on brew
ity: you may get large amount Of
truth into brief space" 1t was our
own William Penn who said, "The
wisdom of nations lies in their
proverbs, which are brief and pithy.'
May young Mr.. Elliott profit by these
quoted words of wisdom, and never
get into an endurance test in his
whole stage career.

THAT EASY LIVING

"Keys to Crookdom," book writ
ten by Geo. c. Henderson on the sub
surface war which is continually be-
ing waged between the law and the
lawless, contains the following para
graph:
police authorities declare that it
is practically impossible to swindle
an honest man. They say that every
sucker is actuated by a desire to
make easy money and that he is will
ing to use crooked methods to get it. -
That is rather a sweeping denuncia-
ton, considering the voluminous suck
er lists" that exist in this country to-
day. Fortunately for the feelings OF
many folk, it is given in the form of a
rule-with consequent and consoling

Regular Meeting

Two speakers of note were the
guests of honor on Thursday of last
week at the meeting of the Woman's
Club of Cliffside Park, at the home of
Mrs. Gerald R. Thayer, the president,
Mrs. Hall, presiding.
Mrs. Halves, of Ridgewood, third
president of the State Federation
of Women's Clubs and formerly Sixth
District vice-president, was present
and Mr.. J. Alley of the National Non
partisan League of Nations, recent
ly arrived from Geneva, brought
his message from Europe. Many
business matters were by motion post
poned to the April meeting.
The club voted a contribution to the
National Council of Women for its
coming convention in the United
States to help defray the expenses of
delegates who could not pay their ex-
penses and voted to undertake the
celebration of a Better Homes Week"
during the second week in May.
The president appointed a nominal
ing committee, Mrs. Mileham, chair
man; Mrs. Lehsten, Mrs. Vosburgh,
Mrs. Velsey and Mrs. LeClercq, for the
coming election in April. The Civics
Department reported it's coming apron
and food sale, the Home Economics
Department it's expected participation
in Better Homes Week and the Liter
ature Department its pleasant Hus-
bands Evening.
The Institutional Cooperation Com
mittee reported the gift on Christmas
of two pairs of wool socks to the
clubs old gentleman in the Oraden
institution.
The club voted to have speaker
Palisadian., 1925-03-13

ON school matters, as suggested in a
letter from the Citizens School Com
mittee, at the April club meeting.
A free will offering was taken for
the fire sufferers at Fort Lee. Mrs.
Halves then gave a short talk, the
main topic being the Junior Women's
Clubs among the girls, movement
recently started by the Federation as
they feel that it gives the girls bet
ter idea of life, of the possibilities of
the things they can do, for club life
is an attempt to make things better,
and youth can help.
Mr. Alley gave very Illuminating
talk on the World Court, beginning
with the three institutions necessary
to every nation-the Legislature, the
Courts and the Executive, showing
that these are also needed in the
family or community of nations.
In pointing out the. manifest advan-
tages of the World Court, the speaker
also mentioned the improvements still
to be made. A part of the world prob
lem of peace is having good interna-
tional laws. 1t is legal, for instance,
to make poison gas and scatter it and
disease, germs among our enemies
and we need a new law to improve
this condition. The court can't give
us peace, but it can help enormously
and the minute we put our influence
in it we will strengthen it greatly.
1t has already handled twelve cases
of legal dispute between nations and
the decisions have been Loyalty
obeyed.
Mr.. Alleys hearers were enthusi-
astic over his address and felt that
they had learned a great deal about
this important question.

SLEEP

NNE popular delusion is the
~ amount of sleep that people
need.
When one cannot sleep he is OBJ
sessed with the notion that he is
not getting rest enough.
The best remedy for sleepless-
ness is not to care whether you
go to sleep or not. You can lie
down and rest without sleeping.
In fact science has demonstrated
that the most restful sleep is that
which occurs within the hour or so
after we lie down.
Lying long in bed in the morn
ing is conducive rather to laziness
than to rest. If one will accus-
tom himself to taking an hours
rest in the afternoon it will do him
more good than many hours at
night.
In sleep we need fresh air, ST.
lence and darkness.
The covers should not be too
heavy and the bed should be such
as will be conducive to rest.
When these essentials are attain
ed our sleep will be helped even
If it is short.
The great disturber of sleep is
worry. II we can dismiss our
troubles from our mind and feel
that all is we'll with us we can
easily sink to slumber.
Mulling over the troubles of the
past and of the future brings wake
fitness And why should we do
it? The past is gone and the fu-
ture has not yet come. The pres
ent is always tolerable.-New York

Only Eighty Palsadans Voted
Mrs. George E. Clark gave a very
disheartening report relative to the
recent School Board election, in sub
stance as follows: Out of total of
eight hundred enrolled voters in Pali-
sade only eighty voted at this election.
Thirty of these have no children in
the public schools. Just eighteen
more votes would have elected the
Palisade candidate. According to the
present status of the School Board,
| Palisade has only-one vote in matters
of school administration and the ex-
penditure of 100000 of the taxpayers
money.
The newly organized Parent Teach
ers' Association should play an i'm
portant part in keeping parents in
touch with all school matters.
Appoint Nominating Committee
The following Nominating committee
was appointed for the election of Of
ficers for the ensuing year: Mrs

ing secretary, Mrs, Paul Unger; cor.

Schafer; treasurer, Mrs. F. G.. Schaef-
er, and auditor, Mrs. George Frew.
Mrs. Jeltrup announced that the
Woman's League of Palisade had
signified it's willingness to cooperate
with TIC club in benefit for the Fort
Lee explosion victims, and that a
committee would be appointed from
each organization to determine the
character of the benefit and to carry
out whatever plans were decided upon.
This joint committee has been ap-
pointed and Mrs. A. w. Magee is

Regal pines on ragged cliffs
Silently look down;
River mirrors, shadow etched,
Glimpse a grotesque town.
Chimneys gaunt and towers grim
Roman Arches gray,
Castle walls in ivy dress
Near the broad highway.
Graceful ships are weaving
Scarfs of somber black;
Screaming gulls are. wheeling.
Far away, then back.
Merry chirp of crickets
Under rusty leaves;
Tiny waves are bowling
At the feet of trees.
Stately pines are watching,
Soft green fingers still,
Twilight creeping slyly
Up the lonely hill,
Leaden sails blush crimson
From the sinking sun.
Low voiced bells are ringing
Now, the Night has come.

Robert Burns

While Robert Ingersoll visited the
birthplace of Robert Burns and while
standing in the poets cottage he
wrote the following simple and beau
tiful melody:
Though Scotland boasts a thousand
names
OF patriot, king and peer,
The noblest, grandest of them all
Was loved and Graded here.
Here lived the gentle peasant prince,
The loving cotter king,
Compared with whom the greatest
Was but a tinseled thing.
'Tis but cot, rooted in with straw,
A hovel built of clay,
One door shuts out the snow and
storm,
One window greets the day;
And yet I stand within this room
And hold all thrones in scorn,
For here, beneath this lowly roof,
Loves sweetest bard was born.
Within this hallowed hut I feel
Like one who clasps a shrine,
When human lips at last have
touched
A something deemed divine;
And here the world, through all the
years,
AS long as day returns,
The tribute of it's love and tears
Will pay to Robert Burns.

Be Careful

be CareTuI
In speaking of persons faults,
Pray, don't forget your own;
REMEMBER, those in homes of glass
Should never throw stone.
If you have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is WIDE
Some may have faults, and who have
not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for all we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And find itworks full well:
To try our own defects to cure,
Before of others tell.
And though l sometimes hope to be
Not worse than some l know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults Of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those who little know.
REMEMBER, curses frequently,
Like chickens, roost at home;
Don't speak of others faults until
You've tried to see your own.

Declares Air Service in War In.

Cities and ships can be approached

in an address yesterday before

Naval Aviation" in general and also
touched upon the Forthcoming Polar
expedition.
For 40 centuries-ever since the
world has known towns and ships
there have been two detectives in war
fare. the towns and ships said the
speaker. This great division of the
armed forces of the Nation is natural,
since cities are usually attacked and
defended by armies and ships are at
tackled by seacraft.
The cities and ships can now be
approached through the air, but the
air does not and cannot provide a
third objective and therefore no rea.
son exists for a third division OF the
armed forces OF a country.

must be there to take It, Ships can
be bombed, but the ships and their
personnel cannot be taken prisoner
by aircraft. The Navy must do that"

ment by Admiral Coontz. commander
in-chief of the maneuvers off Hawaii,
in which the latter declared: "Avia-
