Christian Science, -A correspond¬ ent wants the impression corrected that the only Christian Science or¬ ganization along the south shore is at Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, it seems, has a flourishing body of worshippers and a Sabbath school of nearly a score of children which is a model.

In no way does It conflict with its neighbor .society in R, V, C, some representations to tlie Mothe/ Church In Boston to tlie con¬ trary notwithstanding.
Stung,—Bast Hampton has been dtiing, tlie editor of The Star among 'em. One of those city fellers came along with the Semper Viva Resur¬ rection Plant and sold 200 of them before the last train left. He didn't leave any ti>o soon. The plants were about the size of a tennis ball and were warranted after being kept in a yail of water to grow as large ae a dinner plate, and then -death to ¦every fly, mosquito or other pest witli¬ in range; had the swat chloroformed and a New York City Efliciency Bu¬ reau actually skun alive. After a few hours the observing editor noted that the odor of citronclla which had proved so effective in promoting sales had actually disappeared and the "plant" itaelf would have taken a prize for its iU-shapen, misbegotten, no account appearance. His plant went out into the air in the backyard and the editor is awaiting to hear from other purchasers of city punk. The city man forgot to leave his home address with anybody in East Hamp¬ ton, so far as is known.

COM. nrFFEV'S VISIT.
IXSPECTS NE\»' HIGHW.W.
Because of an unfortunate accident In our plant last Thursday, we were unable to print a three-column news story on Highway Commissioner Duf- fey's visit to Nassau, Other of the local newspapers, notably the Hempstead In¬ quirer, carried excellent resumes of the events of the week-end and we hardly btlleve It worth while to reiterate.
Commissioner Duftey's visit, however, was one of the most noteworthy events in the history of this county. For the first Ume since the creation of Nassau county a State offlclal was able to see at first hand the results of the splendid system of road management which has become almost par-excellence under the present administration. The commis¬ sioner quite pustly complimented the officials and when he said, ^that the system and the roads were among the best in the State." he left no doubt In the minds of the citizens as to thc feel¬ ing which he had.
Perhaps It was due more to Super¬ visor Smith's perservance than any of the other officials that Mr. Imffey visit¬ ed Nassau. It Is but another Instance ot th<' supervisor's foresight and of the confidence which the State offlcials have in his ability and Influence,

FRBEPiT¥GH WINS FROM PREP.
IN SPECTACULAR GAME LOCAL
NLNE NOSES OUT EIGHTH-
INNLKG VICTORY,
ll> HIT A\l> Ul ,\.
Brooklyn Prep, one ot Brooklyn's leading teams, met defeat for the first time thia season when Freeport stag- j ed a rally In t"Be eighth inning and put over two runs on three sanitary hits. Fussell pitched a great game and allowed only two safeties. Pettit iiad an off day behind the bat, but he redeemed himself in the eiglith by driving out a two-bagger. .'Vll mem¬ bers of the team deserve credit for their splendid work.
Things looked bad in the first in¬ ning, when Mayo, flrst man up, pound¬ ed the hall oiver Johnston's head for a single. Hehi drove a fly to left, which Smith dropped and Mayo scored.
It looked as If the fire depariment would have to be called to put Brook¬ lyn Prep. out. In the second two more Freeporters were on the base paths, but did uot score.
Brooklyn Prep, started something in the tliird iuning, but did uot finish it. Mayo by tast sprinting beat out a hit to Johnston. Etzet force<l him at the midway. Johnston to Schwab.
The invaders tried the bunting game in the sixth but fast throws by Pettit and F'ussell averted danger, in the serenth, with two out, Fussell doubled to centre, and would have had a home run but for the house, whicii enabled Harding to make a quick recovery.
Fussell fanned the first two ih the eighth. Then, the fun started. As Pettit approached the plate, he knock¬ ed the dirt from hlsi spikes with his bat white tlie crowd yelled for him to do something. He swung with all his might on the aecond pitch and the ball sailed over Hehrs head for a double, Rollo Jumping on the plate with the tieing run. In the grand¬ stand they cheered Rollo then Pettit. Callan put Pettit on third when he grounded to O'Rourke. This brought up Bergen, who was plainly nervous aa he faeed Malhame. He drove the flrst one towards centre, and it hit second base as it went by. Pettit scored easily from third, giving Free- port the lead. Bergen stole but was caught off second.
Brooklyn Prep, died hard in the ninth. The box score:

SECRETARY HUGO ISSUES WAEN-
ING TO AUTOISTS—MUST
COMPLY WITH LAW.
iSpic-ial to "I'hc Na.s.sau Pu.st,i
ALB.A.N'V, May 11.—Six automobile inspectors in the employ of the State wiil begin tlieir duties within the next few days. The entire number liave been selected from a list sub¬ mitted by the civil service commission followin an examination of ,some months ago. On a lookout for viola¬ tions of the motor vehicle law. the duties of the inspectors will take them over the entire State.
Motorists will do well to bear in mind these few dont's that may save them time and trouble:
Don't run an automobile witli last eafls license plates.
Don't think tliat one plate is Just as good as two, or tlial you can get along without any. The idea may eost you a few dollars.
If you are a chauffeur, don't forget that tlie State requires a badge and a card, and wliat is more these are not to be left at home or at the garage.
If you are a dealer, don't take a chance witli Llie inspector by using extra plates intended solely for dem¬ onstration purposes, on commercial or pleasure cars.
Don't operate a car while intoxicat¬ ed. There is a possible imprisonment tor a year or a fine of l.'.OO or both, staring you in tlie face.
Don't forget the lights at night.
Incidentally, it's not a bad plan to wash tlie mud from the Ifcense plates.
Some idea nf the importance of tiie work done liy llie ipspectors is shown in the fact that nearly ten times the amount paid in s'llaries to tlie .six last year, was taken in iiy the authoritle.s 111 fines resulting from reported viola¬ tions.
The State inspectors start In work work within a tew days, Motoriets wjll do well to see that their cars comply witli the law.
