LARGE CROWD EXPECTED "Kempy," a delightful comedy, will be presented at St.

Cecillas High school auditorium, tomorrow evening: by the Court Madonna, No. Catholic Daughters ot America.

Her reason for marrying him is that he understands her and his reason is that he read her book and had vowed he would marry the author. The family mix-up Is lively and filled with humor and the east Is made up of types of varied sort.

Those who are planning to see "Kempy" will be thorouRhiy pleased with the production which scored a Treat hit when presented on WELL COACHED. Mrs. Walter Commerce, of Tenafly, has been diligently coaching the -ast who are perfected in their respective parts. Mrs. Commerce is well known for the splendid productions she stages and all those who have seen former plays given under her direction are anticipating another delightful one tomorrow evening.

The oast comprises a group of young people from Engiewood, with one exception, who are most talented in dramatics and who take tholr parts most cleverly. John Sullivan, of Tenafly, takes the titular role of "Kempy." The members of this organization are most grateful to Sullivan for the great interest he has shown In this and by his faithful attendance at rehearsals, although having to come down from Tenafly each time, Sullivan Is not a new comer to the dramatic field.

Irene Plehler complete the feminine cast. They are both splendidly cast and add much to' the play. DANCING FOLLOWS. The entire cast is an excellent one and with the capable supervision and coaching of Mrs. Commerce ons may' expect a very fine production tomorrow night.

J. Telephone Engiewood 200 PROOF OF THE PUDDING. "Proof of the pudding," according to one ancient philosopher, "lies in the eating thereof." This little Baying has been used to cover such a multitude of comparisons that it can hardly hurt to use it once more, this time in connection with the efficacy of a doubled motorcycle police squad for better handling of traffic. That this increased motorized force would do all that was claimed for it by Chief of Police O'Neil in relieving congestion and keeping traffic moving swiftly and safely, was amply demonstrated over the week-end. Fine weather brought out motor cars of every conceivable size, shape and age, heading for the great open spaces of Bergen County.

Situated at the very gateway to the county, by reason of Its strategic position with relation to the ferries, Engiewood is called on at times like this to handle an enormous volume of transitory traffic. It becomes the work of the police to see that these cars are aided in making a safe an unhampered trip through the city and that they were successful in this endeavor is evidenced by the fact that not a single accident of a serious nature was reported. Motorcycle men maintained a steady patrol of the main thoroughfares, saw to it that cars remained in line, and generally supervised the movement so as to keep reckless driving at a minimum. In addition to the six motorcycle men on duty a patrol was kept during the heavy traffic hours in the two police cars as well, thus making assurance doubly sure. Thinking motorists welcome the appearance of these officers as much as the reckless driver dislikes to see them on the road, but that the lack of accidents and congestion on the roads is to a large extent attributable to their presence cannot be denied.

The test given the new system over the past week-end is an excellent index of what may be expected this summer when traffic is continuously heavy, and has left police, officials confident of their ability to maintain a high standard of efficiency in the reduction of accidents and maintenance of safety first as the rule of the road. learn that lesson In law, when tie pleaded guilty before Police Judge Le Roy Huckln, in the Engiewood police to a charge by Patrolman Jackson, that he was riding hla bicycle on William street with no lights. Another peculiar case tried by Judge Huckln yesterday, was that of Samuel Lcftwlch, also colored, who was arrested twice on two successive days, by two different Engiewood motorcycle officers, on charges of speeding. Leftwlch was given a summons on Grand avenue, Saturday, by Mo torcycle Oulcer Webb, for riding 26 miles an hour, on Sunday Motorcycle Officer Quirk arrested him on William street, for driving 41 miles an hour. As the proud possessor ot a Ford race-about, he evidently felt such speeds commensurate with his position.

Judgo Huckln fined him $5 and (2 costs ot court for each offense, a total of $14 and In addition suspended his license to drive for a period of three months. William A. Klein, who was arrested by Motorcycle Patrolman lie-gen, charged with driving, at 45 miles an hour, on Grand avenue, pleaded guilty and a fine of $20 and 3 costs of court, was Imposed and his license suspended three weeks. John G. Faller, a former bus driver, was fined $5 and $2 costs of court, when ha pleaded guilty to a charge by Motorcycle Patrolman Webb, that he had been operating his bus without a tallllght.

For driving his car at the rate ot 40 miles an hour, on Tenafly road, Clinton Symmea of Haworth, was fined $15 and $2 costs of court, and his license suspended for a period of three weeks. He pleaded guilty on a charge made against him by Motorcycle Officer Scutero. Operating a car with only a permit and no licensed driver accompanying him resulted in a fine of $5 and $2 costs of court being imposed on Yale Lubln, of Engiewood, wnen he pleaded guilty to the complaint of Officer Webb. This was Lubln's second offense. Henry Valentine and John Bol-lcrman, the former of Engiewood, and the latter of Bergenfield, were fined $20 each with tho alternative of spending 10 days In the county Jail, when they pleaded guilty to charges against them of being drunk and disorderly.

Valentine was arrested on Humphrey street, by Patrolman Jackson and Bollcrman on South Dean street, by Patrolman Ryan. HutU men paid their tines.

Not knowing their correct names we i shall call the former Mary and tho Invitation Extended To Political Faiths. All Friends of Arnold M. Probst will gather at the Roosevelt school on Broad avenut, Eiiglewood. on Friday evening, April 22, for the purpose of organizing the voters of the Second Ward In Engiewood, preparatory to the coming June primary elections, and general election in the fall. Although the Second Ward will not be called upon this year to elect councilman, it will play a prominent part In selection of the mayor and councilman at large, both of which positions will be voted on In Engiewood at the election this year.

While It is to be expected that the meeting will have strong Democratic tendencies a cordial Invitation Is extended by those in charge of the program to all Independent voters, as well as those who do not allow themselves to be guided by party symbols In election of local officials, to be present on Friday evening. An Invitation has been extended by the committee to William Conk-lin and several other recognized county and local political leaders to be present and address the gathering Friday evening which is the first real stirring of political interest shown in the city this spring. Up to the present time there has been little or no talk of candidates and no Information from either political party as to who they will place in the Held for the two important local positions to be contested for. Humors have naturally been afloat, but for the most part they are considered by those close to the situation as mere feelers and without substantial foundation. Regardless of Its outcome the meeting Friday evening should at least be Interesting.

New System Is Abandoned Very Quickly. An experiment In fare collections was attempted by the Fassalo Bergen Transportation Company yesterday which was short lived, coming to an untimely demise after passengers, city officials, and others, had complained to the central office of the company in Engiewood that schedules were being wrecked by the system, Under the- system instituted whan the men reported tor duty yesterday- morning, the driver of each bus was called on to collect fares from his passengers at each zone. This system Is similar to that used by the Public Service on Its one man trolleys, and was Just about as successful, although it did not last. There are some nine different fare zones on the Passaic Bergen line. This meant that nine times on his trip the driver was required to stop his bus and go through it collecting fares from his passengers.

It was only a matter of a couple of hours under this method of procedure before schedules were entirely demoralized and complaints began to pour into the office In Engiewood against It. Among ths drivers It Is even rumored that the mayors of three separate boroughs threatened that unless the new system' was discontinued and schedules maintained sum mary action would be taken to put the buses off tha- streets ot their community. Whether this was the cause or the other complaints received form the answer the fact remains that shortly after noon the order was sent out to all drivers of the buses rescinding the previous one and restoring matters to normalcy. Communion Breakfast of K. of C.
