(BvJ. H. 8.) HOUSEHOLD HINTS
An ordinary match may be made perfectly safe by slightly moitteninK the sulphur end with a sponge dipped in sardine gravy.
To gain entrance to your home when the front door has become firmly stuck, thoroughly mutilate the wood carving with a large, blunt instru¬ ment, taking special care to remove the door-knob in eight sections. Then enter the rear door and telephone for the carpenter.
It is well to know that drinking glaases and tumblers which have be¬ come stuck, one within the other, can be readily separated by dealing a sharp blow to the under glass with a handle detached from an ordinary food chopper.
You will "llnd that bv removing the feathers from a fowl before roasting it will go far toward removing the mattress taste from the gravy.
Your first pie will take on a very pleasing appearance if encircled with a row of tatting to match the fruit fliling. Of course the tatting does not make a very appetizing mouthful —but then—neither does the first pie.
There are any numbers of patented appliances for unscrewing the tops from mason jars but in the estima¬ tion of the diligent housewife the fol¬ lowing is the most satisfactory:
When ready to open the jar place it in boiling water for five minutes. Up¬ on removing it from the water, hand it to someone who is unacquainted with this method of jar opening (to be done quickly). The result will be most startling.
Old typewriter ribbons, cut into proper lengths will make a very good noodle soup, red ribbons being most desirable.

Crot^sing and Carries It with
Dead, Quarter of a Mile
At the practically unprotected crossing where the tracks of the Long Island Railroad cross the Babylon Turnpike between Freeport and Mer¬ rick, the Speonk express shortly after 6:00 o'clock Friday night struck a large touring car in which were five persons. Two of them were killed and the others so badly hurt that they were rushed to the Nassau County Hospital in the efTort to save their 4v«sr -the lead tmra:'- An<i>»w- ¦Hy| Carrow, 28 year.s ord, of Baldwin; Florence Mangles, 25, of Bellmore. I he injured, Anna Horvarth of Roose¬ velt; Royal B. Keene, the driver of the car; and Michael Kelnky of Hemp¬ stead.
A remarkable feature of the acci¬ dent was that the express train lifted the automobile and with its occupants carried it for a quarter of a mile. When the train came to a stop about .500 yards from the. station the car, a crumpled, shattered mass of wreck¬ age, fell off the front of the engine and with it tumbled out the living and the dead. Nothing was left at the Tumpike crossing to show that there had been a collision there.
Keene was driving. Miss Mangles and Miss Horvarth worked at the Doubleday-Page plant at Garden City. With them waa Kelsky. They were evidently going home. It is thought that Carrow was picked up on the way. Just how the accident happened is not known.
Keene was a member of the Hemp¬ stead Machine Gun Company, two for¬ mer mfembers of which, old comrades of Keene, Louis Duruz and John Kreischer, were killed at this same crossing about two months ago. Kel¬ sky was also a veteran of the war, having been overseas with the 77th Division. He is in a critical condition at the Nassau Hospital.
Carrow came from Florida about 4 years ago. He was married to Isa¬ belle, daughter of John H. Pettit of Baldwin. His ftmeral services were held from the home of his wife's fath¬ er on Tuesday, with burial in Jireen
High School Notes
The Christmas exercises of the High School were held on Friday, Decem¬ ber 19, at 1:15 in the High School Auditorium. The first number on the program was a song, "Good King Wenceslas," sung by the school. Then Irene Holland gave a recitation, "Lit¬ tle Rocket's Christmas." A solo, "A Winter Lullaby," was then sung very pleagingly by Margaret Wenner. Flo- lowing tnis, the eighth grade sang a piece entitled "Silent Night," and a double quartet of High School pupils rendered "The New Born King." The orchestra then played Shubert's "March Militaire." The next number on the program was a recitation, "The Christmas Angel," given by Milll¬ cent Sloat. The next two selections were musical numbers, Christmas car¬ ols by the Girls' Glee Club and a cor¬ net solo, "A 'Gypsy Love Song," ren¬ dered by Donald Combs, A recita¬ tion, "Christmas Eve in a Mining Camp," by Dorothy Gould, concluded the program.
At noontime on the day before Christmas vacation, the pupils sitting in Room 18 held a Christmas party. They had a Christmas tree all deco¬ rated and Mr, Jennings as Santa Claus distributed the presents, one to each guest. The hilarity was at its height when the time came for passing into I the assembly room for the Christmas exercises. It may be truly said that field Cemetery, Rev. John H.

Christmas Work m Freeport
The Neighborhood Workers distrib¬ uted this year 145 red stockings to thf) children of the village and 18 dinners to families under their care. Mra. Scholey says that Freeport "has been more generous than ever in this mat¬ ter this year, both as to contributions of money and of gift.s for the stock¬ ings, and she thanks all who have helped in any way in the Christmas work. The red stockings contained warm clothing, toys, books or games, nuts, fruit and candy. All the candy was donated by Mrs. Leigh of Pear¬ sall Avenue and thirty pounds was re¬ quired. Many of the little recipients of red stockings called Mrs. Scholey up to  thank  her for remembering  their
