AROUND THE TOWN
(B. T. B. C.)
When I panged the comer of Smith Street and Lojuc Beach Avenue and aavf that bunch of men who were busy tearing down the brush that has ob¬ structed that Corner for years, I was rather elated that one of my first items in that column might have had such good effect, but upon inquiry I find that Harry Van Riper has bought the corner and is to build houses there, and that is the reason, rather than any comment of mine, for the comer being cJeWed. Never mind, •o long as the result is the same, and farther auto actiiidents will be obviat¬ ed at this comer, which was a good place for picking up several news items during a summer season.

At the regular meeting of the Vil¬ lage Board Wednesday afternoon it was decided to place a lamp on Be¬ dell Street, between Smith and Ray¬ nor Streets.
• Communications were received from the War Camp Community Service thanking the Board for its interest in the work during the time the Club House had been open, for the past two years; and from William H. Pat¬ terson, Commander of the G. A. R. for the interest the Board had shown in the Welcome Home Day event, and their courtesy to the Post.
Increases in salary were granted to C. O. Niles and H. E. Rider, |5 per month, and Street f^ommissioner M. F. Bond, $10.
Applications for sidewalks were granted to William J. Schumacher, Pine Street, and H. E. VanRiper, At¬ lantic and Ocean Avenues. Applica¬ tions for water service were granted to G.  Patterson.
On request of Clarence A. Edwards, representative, it was decided to transfer the boiler infection and in- ] surance from the Hartford Company, in which it had been carried ever since the municipal plant was estab¬ lished, to the Travelers Company, which Mr. Edwards represented.

Trolley Kills Man in Auto
Reginald Schwartz, aged 49, of 56 East Milton Street, of the firm of Schwartz & Albright, building eon- tractors, was struck by an eastbound trolley at 9:35 Tuesday evening while going north on Long Beach Avenue in his auto. The trolley was in charge of Motorman John Wilson and Con¬ ductor Joseph G. Post, and from the fact that it carried the large toyrinK car a hundred feet, it must have been going fast. Mr. Schwartz, with his wife and daughter Ethel, came from the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn last May and entered the building busi¬ ness with Herman Albright of South Long Beach Avenue. He had taken Mr. Albright home and was return¬ ing to his own home when he was struck by the car. He was taken to Nassau Hospital where he died a cou¬ ple of hours later. Mr. Albright was a member of the Knights of Pythias organization in the Jersey City branch.

What  Is  Americ«iiism?
The prize of $50 offered by The De- Ihieator for the best interpretation of Americanism was awarded to Mrs. Anna F. Brand, of El Paso, Texas, who presented the following:
'".My child, remember that the land in which you live was bought by the blooil of your forefathers, that every man might live in freedom and justice. It is being kept safe for ydu by the blocd of your fathers and brothers to¬ day. You—who will inherit this price- le?.s possession—are a child of liberty, an America'.!. Walk upright in your native land; fear no man; harm no man. Reverence that flag beneath which you stand. God grant you may never stain its folds by any act of in¬ justice to another little brother whom it protects—it matters not what his color or creed. Be honest; be pure; be truthful; that men may look into your eyes and say, 'Here grows a man for America.' "
