ABOUT THE TOWN
(By T. B. C.) The question of the right of way in an automobile is still one that very few people seem to understand. Thia was illustrated in the accident at the corner of Long Beach Avenue and Stnith Street last Thursday moming. We heard the discussion in which Mr. Von Tilzer said that he had the right of way because he was on a thorough¬ fare (Long Beach Avenue) more trav¬ elled than Smith Street, and his wife, who was driving, saw the other car coming but too late, so passed in front of it, and was hit broadside by the •mailer car. As a matter of fact, the law is very clear. The car driven by Miss Miller was to the right of Mrs. Von Tilzer, and absolutely had the right of way and Mrs. Von Tilzer should have had her oar under suflB- cient control to see what was coming, and avoid the collision. The fact of the Von Tilzer car being struck by the other does not alter the fact and the responsibility, as Miss Miller, even with ordinary prudence, would have her eyes on cars on the right, rather than those on the left, and she would naturally expect the car to her left to give her the right of way, and slow down at that corner. This is in no way a reflection upon the driver of either car, but simply to emphasize the facts in the case. The sooner auto¬ mobile drivers comprehend that cars on Merrick Road and Long Beach Avemie and Ocean Avenue do not have the right of way over cars on Smith Street or Church Street or Pine Street the better it will be and the safer to drive.
Speaking of Long Beach Avenue, the accident there emphasizes the fact that although the writer, for in¬ stance, had to go to the expense of putting sidewalks on Rose Street, or rather the village authorities did it for him and made him pay for it, this cor¬ ner, the southeast corner of Smith and Long Beach Avenue, is absolute¬ ly without a sidtwalk, aiid the brush is so high as to make it dangerous traveling in autos.    The village high-
HEARD FROM THE CURB
The Welcome Home Parade of last Monday was the finest thing of its kind that Freeport has every done.
The sympathy and love and pride of the people of our village in our men and women who served in the war was manifest in every feature of the pa¬ rade and in the decorations and in the exercises on the reviewing stand. There was a digTiity, an absence of garrish flambouancy, a proper fitting of the expression of the body to the occasion that was beyond criticism.
One alien and objectionable thing was promptly stopped by the vigorous protest of the writer and others who demanded its removal. Some party interested in a sale of lots fell in at the rear of the parade with a Ford car conspicuously decorated with the advertisement of the coming auction. And then the occupant of the car cried his interest in loud and raucous voice. It seems strange to ordinary well- mannered people that any man can be so grossly self-absorbed as not to see the crass impropriety of taking oc¬ casion to thrust his petty selfish inter¬ est upon the ears and eyes of a peo¬ ple absorbed in a lofty expression of love and loyalty. Thanks to the ef¬ ficient marshals of the day the offen¬ der was promptly removed.
The churches of our country have always been solid unwavering gup- ports of organized government. They are now singled out by Bolshevist and "L W. W.'s" and "Reds" everywhere for their unstinted hatred because the religious interests are steadying qui¬ eting interests that are solid founda¬ tions for organized and orderly gov¬ ernment. And so it was fine to see the churches prominent in the parade. It looked good to see Father O'Toole leading a fine body of about 80 men of his newly organized K. of C. They made a fine showing as they have during all the war. As an organi/.ed body there is no doubt that tkey out¬ class all other church bodies.
It is not always appreciated by those who see with their eyes only that the Catholics and Protestants work on two quite different lines. In early days when Christianity began to be of importance in the Konian Em- of    the

W. C. C S. Entertains
the First Division
(Official Report) Friday night we had 200 boys from Pershing's own outfit, the First, and the special outfit being the widely- known First Engineers. We did our best to give them a good time, and served 286 plates of ice cream, with cake. In addition, we used eleven car¬ tons of Camel cigarettes and nineteen eases of soda water. Being a little confidential, it cost us $60 for the feed

It was a good advertising scheme on the part of the American "Theatre, and at the same time a patriotic idea, to take moving picture films of the Wel¬ come Home of our men from Service. We enjoyed looking at the picture now. 'Twenty years Isom now we will appreciate many times more the work that the American Theatre manage¬ ment did in taking this big picture, which they are to turn over to the village as a permanent record which can be reproduced at any time. We cannot appreciate the historical value of this as fully now as we will a gen¬ eration hence.
Two Soldiers Killed
By An Express Train
Louis C. Duruz, age 34, son df Chas. Duruz of Baldwin, and John M., age 24, son of Stephen Kreischer of Hempstead were struck by the west¬ bound express train at Babylon Turn¬ pike crossing of the Long Island Rail¬ road about ten o'clock Tuesday even¬ ing and instantly killed. Mr. Kreisch¬ er runs an automobile supply com¬ pany in Hempstead and, in company with Mr. Duruz, was going to Merrick to sell an automobile, evidently being hit on the way down there, althoilgn no one saw the accident and it is not known just how it happened. Both of these young men were members of the old 10th Machine Gun Company and saw service abroad. Duruz wrote several letters to the Nassau County Review while overseas and was one of our regular readers while in Service, being intimate with Robert Campbell and Wallace Guest in this village. His brother, Frank, of Freeport, was out riding at the time of the accident, and seeing the crowd at this crossing, he went to see what caused it and iden¬ tified his brother as one of those killed.
Kreischer's funeral services were held Thursday morning at the Church of Our Lady of Loretto, Hempstead, Rev. Father Boyle officiating, with in¬ terment in St. Bridgid's Cemetery, Westbury; C. A. Fulton, funeral di¬ rector.
Mr. Kreischer is survived by his father, Stephen. W., his mother and two sisters.
Duruz's funeral services will be held at the home of his brother, Frank Durus, 119 Grand Avenue, Saturday afternoon nt 2:00 o'clock. Rev. R. H. Seott officiating, with interment in the Hewlett Cemetery; C. A. Fulton, funeral director.
Mr, Duruz is survived by his father, Charles Duruz, and three brothers.

And ever since they have made their appeal to the ey-i and ear. The origin of Protestants was a protest against ^th^ formal and an appeal to the spiritual.
The Protestants were invited by the committee to enter as organizai'onf. They all accepted reluctantly, but ac¬ cepted because they did not want to seem to be out of sympathy by refus¬ ing to accept. They were reluctant because parading as bodies is alien to the spirit of their churches. Our Sun¬ day School parade in the early sum¬ mer is a concession to the parading spirit of the youngsters and is made a gala day with music and ice cream.
And yet mixed all through the other organizations were the active workers in the Protestant churches. Amoiiig the forty noble women who wore the Red Cross costume in the parade, the writer counted eight who were com¬ municants of his church. In another group where ten women bore the stars and stripes, five of them were com municants and so among the men there was a large number who would have been marching in church organ¬ izations except for the broad interest and self-abnegation of Protestanism
But we are all one after all in the great interests of life. And sych days as Monday affords us the chance to meet and express ourselves and be un¬ derstood.
My own heart, as the father of a splendid boy who died in battle, was deeply moved and gratified by the showing of respect and love for the he¬ roic dead. We never can do too much for them or honor their memory too highly. The cost of our liberties fell heaviest on them. We lose sight of our own sacrifices as we think of theirs. War is an awful thing and the only justification we can find for it is that our condition might be more awful without it.
Many thanks to the Village Board and to the firemen who together planned and carried out a program that will live for a generation in the memory of our people and for cen¬ turies in the history of the village. J. SIDNEY GOULD.
only 30 cents apiece and anyone who saw the enthusiasm of those boys and the way their faces lighted up when they got in and got acquainted you would have agreed with us that the money was a small consideration and would have been willing to give the time to it that the workers are doing. Our girls, of whom we are so justly proud, danced almost to exhaustion, but they said it was worth while, to see how those boys enjoyed them¬ selves. A remarkable fact was the statement of our visitors that they had anticipated coming to Freeport because they had heard of our club while still in Germany.

After Auto Thieves
Monday evening the local police de¬ partment received word that the New York Police Departmentjiad received information which led fnem to believe that automobile thieves, whose de¬ scriptions they gave, could be found at the residence of C. B. Ebbert, 344 West Merrick Road. Officers Raynor and Elar were sent to the house and saw a number of men"'come in and go out of it, but dit not make a^iy arrests, as they had no description of the men wanted. Later in the evening the New York police removed three auto¬ mobiles which were stored in the yard. Mr. Ebbert, who resides at this num¬ ber, has been in the business of buy¬ ing and selling second hand automo¬ biles, in Brooklyn, with his son. He said he bought these machines iir the regular way and had no suspicion that they were turned over to him by pro¬ fessional thieves.

Need of a Local Meeting Place
The following item is given us by a man interested in the development of Freeport: ^
"The Boy Scouts are looking for a place to hold their meetings. This is an organization which should be giv¬ en support and encouragement, and we trust that a suitable place will be found. It is about time that Free- port had a public hall of some kind. Were it not for the fact that the cost of building is so high, a move for the erection of a municipal building with a large and suitable hall would be in order."
As far as the Boy Scouts are con¬ cerned, we know of no reason why they could not meet in any church in the village, or in any school house, but the argument for a public building is sound. We do not quite agree with our contributor regarding waiting for prices to lower on building. We have heard an argument something like this for the last three or four years, a'lid if we wait for the cost of build¬ ing to go down it is one safe proposi¬ tion that we will never have a munici¬ pal building, and it is unanimously agreed that we need it.

At the meeting of Merrick Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1, held laat Tuesday evening, the matter of extending a welcome to the "boys" who have been in service, was vigorously taken up, to the end that Comrade Christoffel was appointed chairman of a committee, consisting «f the whole membership, to carry out plans for this purpose. A good deal of enthusiasm prevailed, and it was flnally decided to have the wel¬ come in the shape of a supper to the "boys" at the Fire Hall, followed by an entertainment, and the date select¬ ed was Saturday evening, September
120th. Various sub-committees were appointed for the work. Members present at the last meeting pledged themselves for necessary articles for the occasion, such as salads, hams, cigarettes, bread, cake, etc. It was impossible, of course, to complete ar¬ rangements at that meeting and it was arranged to hold a further meeting of the committee as a whole on Tuesday evening, September 9.

Fire Department Out Again
The Freeport Fire Department re¬ ceived a call for a long run to 225 Randall Avenue Wednesday noon. Some soot had blocked UP the chim¬ ney in the O'Mara house, at that num¬ ber, occupied by James W. King and family, and the building was set afire. As usual in a case of this kind, it took a considerable time to put the flame out, although but very little damage was done.
