communities in the county.

Doctor SCOTS Home
Entered Friday Last
Also O. Hunike Home

Dr. R. T. Scott of Abbott boulevard,
Palisade, on Friday last, shortly after
9 o'clock, reported to the Fort Lee
police that his home had been en-
tered during the night and $500
stolen.
The thief entered the house through
a. window which they pried open.
When in the house they went to the
second floor and entered the bedroom
in which the doctor and his wife were
sleeping Without awakening either,
the room was ransacked and $500 was
taken from DR.. Scott's clothing,
which were hanging across a chair
near the bed, and also a Waltham
watch.
Due to a very peculiar feeling upon
awakening, the doctor believes an
anaesthetic was used to insure uncon-
sciousness while the thief did his
work.
Mrs. Otto Hunicke of Arcadian way,
Palisade, informed the police on Fri
day last that she had heard two men
walking on her lawn at an early hour
in the morning and arose and turned
on the lights.
This frightened the providers off,
but they returned and attempted to
enter through rear window, but were
again disturbed by lights which Mrs.
Hunike switched on.
There have been a number of rob-
berries in Palisade which have been
reported to the police in the past
month

PAL|SADE. CAMP FIRE GIRLS SIGNAL
TRIUMPH IN BEAUTIFUL LAWN SHOW
ONE OF FINEST EVER SEEN in COUNTY
Mrs Dr. Beans Guardian of Local Group Distinguishes
Herself in Quality Entertainment Rarely Seen
Would Make Hit at the Hippodrome

Down Petticoat Lane is the name
of Period Fashion lawn fete put
on by the Palisade group of Camp
Fire Girls, at the home of DR.. H.
r. Beans in Cumbermede road, last
Saturday afternoon and evening. Mrs.
Beans has for a year or two been the
Guardian of the local Camp Fire
Girls, and has been devoted to their
interests. The local group name is
Tam O'Soha.
The spacious Beans lawn was ad-
mirably adapted to the show, and it
proved to be the most artistic affair
ever given in Palisade. 1t was really
beautiful If it had been put on at
the Hippodrome, with the same local
talent and no announcement but that
it was the Palisade Camp Fire Girls
Fashion review it would have been
given an ovation. But it was not re-
markable that with the aid of Mrs. c.
B. Levey in directing and drilling the
display it should have turned out to
be a genuine creation. She is a
genius. The attendance afternoon and
evening was large, especially the eve
ming performance Nothing like it
was ever seen here before, and there
is talk of repeating it at Englewood,
where it would unquestionably make
hit. There were just forty girls in
the review, though over half of them
were volunteers and not Camp Fire
Girls, but all from Palisade.
The grounds were beautiful and
made more SO by very graceful ar
rangement of poppies in color around
the fernery on the lawn, the work of
Mrs Kaelin. Mrs Kaelin's arrange
ment of the scenic effect was much
admired The characters came on the
stage from the ends and side of the
lawn, the audience being seated near
the sidewalk on Cumbermede road,
facing west. A large trellis, screen
" covered the Invisible chorus which
7sang in several parts and which was
very effective Eleanor Pennell was
director of music and presided at the
piano where she displayed her fine
skill and taste in rendering the vari-
Gus airs of the program. The electric
lighting effects were most effective
and were the work of Mr.. Steel, of
Grantwood, and Mr.. Valentine and
Mr.. ZeIlweger. of Palisade.
Abigail Pennell in neat little
speech presented lovely draecena
plant to Mrs. Beans, and fine leather
hat boxes to Mrs. Levey and Eleanor
Pennell
Mrs. Beans said in reply that the
purpose of the entertainment was
two-fold. The primary thought was
to create sufficient interest in Camp
Fire to induce several women to un-
dertake the leadership of new groups.
There are many girls in Palisade who
want to be Camp Fire Girls. AS one
Guardian" cannot do justice to a
group of more than twelve, it is neces-
sary to find leaders for additional
groups. Two points which receive at
tention in the case of each girl are
the establishing of healthful habits
for without health there cannot be hap
piness or beauty--and the developing
of habits of helpfulness in the home.
For these reasons, mothers should be
interested in undertaking Camp Fire
work.
The second purpose was for the

ervation to Justice Department
About Ready.
BY the Associated Press.


Formal transfer of the Camp Sher-
man, Ohio, property from jurisdiction
of the Veterans Bureau to that of the
Department of Justice Is expected this
week, il was said today at the Depart
ment of Justice. 1t also was made
known that the department is ready
Immediately upon conclusion Of the
formal transfer proceedings to begin
conversion of the property for use as
a Federal reformatory for first offend
ers.
Attorney General Sargent has
steadfastly declined to disclose the
nature of the difficulties which held up
the transfer, although 1t was reported
that some officials of the Veterans
Bureau had opposed the transfer on
the grounds that their own organiza-
ton had use for it.
Department of Justice officials say
their investigation has disclosed that
little construction work will be need
ed in making the camp property ready
for use as a prison institution. There
will be little delay, therefore, in trans
forming the site to it's proposed use
when the legal technicalities are met
but Mr.. Sargent will not permit any
action to be taken in that direction
until every phase of the transfer of
jurisdiction has been completed.

GRAIN FUTURES
PRACTICE SCORED
Federal Trade Commission
Cites Depressing Effect
on Market.

The practice of buying and selling
grain for future delivery was criti-
cized today by the Federal Trade Com
mission in its sixth report on the
grain trade Situa ton.
While the procedure has been de-
Tended by many elements of the trade
a price stabilizer, the commissions s
report declared the data studied do
not Indicate that future prices are es-
pecially stable. and the technical con-
ditions of future trading appear TO
cause some fluctuations in prices that
would not otherwise occur
A similar contention has been voiced
by representatives of the farmer and
grain producer.
The Downward Bias.
The report declared that zone Of the
most important and significant facts
statfstically demonstrated is the down
ward bias Of the future market"
AN extensive comparison OF price
data" If continued, for various
grains and options over many years
shows that, on the average, there is a
definite tendency for the future price
in the earlier months of trading (per-
haps nine months ahead of delivery
to fall short of the price subsequently
attained just before or during the
month of delivery.
I'm other words, the tendency of
the future price is to understate the
ultimate price. This is true merely
in large majority, but by no means
in all of the instances dealt with
This bias of the futures market in
the direction of low prices is in part
explained by the weight of selling
hedges during the heavy marketing
season.
Other Seasons Causes.
But the prevalence of undue dis
counts, or the downward bias of fore
casts. at other season (as. for ex-
ample. for wheat in the Spring be
fore the opening of the new crop
year, when trades of hedges are more
likely to be on the buying side), must
he attributed to causes other than
hedging pressure. The character of
recent professional speculation is suE-
gested as one of these factors.
This bias of the futures market
operates especially to depress unduly
the next-crop options. The downward
bias of the futures market in large
part explains the tendency of the
future price to be at a discount be-
low the cash price"
