Already the federal jfuveriiiiieiit ha.'- appealed to the legislature of the jjicnt- est state In fhe riiion to leiul its aid In securing for the nation certni'i ground on I-oni? Isliind ni-edeil for points of defen.se. A bill has been In troduced and facilitated by an eniei'- gency message from (loveruor Whit¬ man. It will go through both houses in i'ecf)r(l time, as was the case witl, the Sane bill api)i'oi)rhaiii>,' $1.ihh),0(H),

Tribute to  Stars  and  Stripes.
No higher tribute to the flag has ever been heard in the legislature than fliaf which was given by Deniocratle Lead¬ er H<)l)ert F. Wiif-'iier, himself of (!er- nian i)arenfage. He declared that, even though there had been many opinlnn.s cherlslK'd as to wldch P^urofiean i-ouii- trles were right in the world coiiHlct, now that tlie clouds of war are hang¬ ing over .Vnierica all resi.lents of fhe United States should lie loyal and he thought they were.

COMPLAIN OF LONG SCHOOL SESSIONS
Mothers Club Send Re¬ presentatives to Board Meeting
Four members of the .Mothers' club of the Archer street school appeared before the Schixil Board luesday night to register a long series of com¬ plaints, many of which were local, affecting school conditions as obtain in the local school. One general source of complaint which received most serious consideration wa-s in re¬ gard to fhe length of school hours. The mothers claim that the children should be dismissed at 3 o'clock in¬ stead of 4 o'clock, so that they may enjoy an hour extra in the open and in the sunlight.
The school hours at presenl are from Si'lS lo 12 and from lil.5 to 1 o'clock. Chapel exercises start af 8;.'50 and as many parents iiislHt Ihat their children attend these, many of the little ones begin tbeir .school hour at 8:30, .MrS; J. KeHcliirner, of Hl- liof place said that the city school hours are from !) to 12 aud 1 lo 3 o'clock, and that the children are able tH do sufficient work to pass their examinations and their Kegent exams as successfully as fhe country school children, if not more so and tbat they make  good high  school  scholars,
C Dwight liaker, president of ihe board, explained that the conditions in city ,schools and Ihose und*^' State supervision cannot bc compared, in that the State Board maps out rortain programs of work that must be car¬ ried out. If the school board refuses fo work in co-operation with the State authorities there is a chance of the State refusing its financial appropria¬ tion for school work.
The big problem, he thinks, is to find out how it is possible to get all the work required done between 8:45 and 3. If it is possible, why a shorter school hour will be thorough¬ ly considered. If it means inefficien¬ cy as a result of curtailment, the board will be frank in saying so. Mr. Baker believes in short hours so that the children can have time for rec¬ reation, but he places efliciency flrst.
Trustee Sidney H, Sweezey declar¬ ed himself in favor of 3 o'clock dis¬ missal, provided that the progiani of studies can bc carried out without weakening the school system. He fa¬ vors it, even if he be fho only meniber of the board inclined thus, he .said.
.Mrs. F'arron corroborated .Mrs. Keschirner in stating that a shorter school day means for efficiency more so than firing the liraiiis of the chil¬ dren with extra work. They claim that fhe heating and ventilaling fa¬ cilities of the school are bad and that the children are either in rooms too cold or  too hot.
"It is either feast nr famine in this respect,"   said   .Mrs,   Keschirner.
'I'he mothers pointed out instances of how children are compelled at times to keep their coats on with the thermometer at ."JS and how Ihcy are made lazy and dopey in a room where Ihe hear is at 78. Trustee Walter Cozzens explained that the boating .system in the school was put in al the direction of tlie State by a flrm designated by fhe state authori¬ ties. .Mr, Baker stated that th-^ mothers should 'agitate this and If they can influence fhe taxpayers into voting for a modern heating and ven- filating plant the board wiil be de¬ lighted.
The other mafters of complaint dealt wilh individual cases of alleged lack of common sense in relation fo children using the basement and the toilets.
Mrs. Keschirner protested against fhe rule in vogue of allowing the children to stand in line in the base¬ ment during the ten niinutes recess, declaring that she regards recess as a time for recreation when the chil¬ dren should keep their bodies in ac¬ tion instead of standing on fhe damp ground in line. The board believed so too, and this niatter will be dis¬ cussed   by the   members.
Mr, Moon enterfains the belief that fhe rule works two ways. 'While some mothers favor out-door exer¬ cises, other mothers, whose children are not warmly clad, object to it. However, this rule may be modifled fo work to the  advantage of both.
The women will return at fhe next meeting on February 27 for answers to their complaints.

FREEPORT'S GRAND OLD MAN VERY HI
John A. Smith, Freeport's Grand Old .Man, who was !i7 years old ou July 17 lasi, is lying very low in health at his liome on .North .Main street, Il is stated at his home that his end is near aud that no surprise will be evidenced by his family if he should expire any day. Old age is the cause of his incapacitation, Fa- iher Time, ihe grim reaper is boring down on the sturdy old Oak and the once sturdy frame of the flne Old man has dwindled into a decrepid stale.
John A, Smilh has been,an inter¬ esting chaiacier and his death will be keenly felt. I'ntil recenlly if was a common tiling fo see fhe nonogena- rean working about his farm lifting heavy logs and dragging the cumber¬ some wagon about his farm from one end lo the other, to "save the horse a little labor," His horse was his pel and it was his usual practice to get behind the spirited animal and take a ten mile ride. That is, when his did nol care to lake a flve mile walk,
"Long walks help me to preserv.' niy strength," said the aged man lo a Posl reporter recenlly, "I believe in deep breathing and lots of hard work in the open air," he said.
He has always been a keen admirer of Colonel U(X)sevelt. Until his re¬ cent mental failing he used to lalii of the Colonel in terms of highest praise and on one occasion turned several calli?rs out of his house for speaking in terms of appropriuni of the ex-president.
The lasl year has been a trying one for .Mr, Sniilh. In his ninety- seventh year he ixissesed all his fac¬ ulties and was always a clieerful host, devoting much of his lime in detailing events of seventy-flve years ago to his callers. The home of .Mr. Smith on North Main slreet, was becoming a sort of piigriiiiage wliere people from all parts of Ixmg Island were wont to visil to talk to the elderly gentleman,
He was not a feelotaier. He never gave any advice againsl drinking or smoking, but he was a stickler for deep bi'cathiiii; and working in fh., open air. He advises uveiyone lo sleej) in cold rooms with windows wide open. He knows all the history of .Nassau County for the lasl seventy- flve years and can give dales. Ho \vas an admirer of .Mrs, Hiissell Sage, liaving worked at one time for .Mr. Sage, He knows all of the facts about the sinking of the .Mexico, off Hempstead Bay and helped in the in¬ terment of the dead taken from the bark,   in    Rockville   Cemetery."'
Al his home today his family say that he is in a high fever and is under the   constant   care   of   physicians.

Fdilor Nassau Post: !     Dear Sir: —
I Tht few kind words in respeci of "The Freeport Plan " and the South Side Democratic club, attributed to the Hempstead Journal by the .Nas¬ sau County Review of the 2nd inst,, remind nie of the following anecdote told  of  the   late  .Mark  Twain,
.Mark Twain, when attempting to have a check cashed at a bank in Vienna, having been reminded that he was unkuown at the tiank and tha: he would have to bc identified by some person known to the paying teller, asked the latter it he knew the Emperor of Austria, the King of Belgium and the President of France, and, receiving a ijiegative reply in each instance, theriupo^ declared in sham despair; "I give it up; I see that we do not n^ove in the same circles." ;
There may indeed be room for a difference of opinion as lo whether or nol "The Freeport Plan" is des¬ tined to succeed, but, in view of thr facts that letters, expressing cordial endorsement thereof, have been re¬ ceived from prominent Democrats re¬ siding in the States of .New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, .Missouri, Ken¬ tucky, Kansas, Ohio, Texas, .Minne¬ sota, Georgia, Tennessee, Utah, South Carolina, Norlh Carolina and Iowa, respectively, and that Democrats re¬ siding in the respective Stales of Louisiana, Flodida, Indiana, Califor¬ nia, Oklahoma, New Jersey and Con¬ necticut have manifested an interest in the plan, we slill enlertain some hope; and we trust that the editor of the Hempstead Journal will read our 4-page circular, jee a "new lighl" and join with us in carrying out fhe purposes of  our club.
Hon. Lee Francis Lybarger, of the Philadelphia bar, author of "The Tar¬ iff: What it is, How it Works, Whom it Benefits," bas the following 'to sa> of "The Freeport Pt^n."
"You favoi of the 17th, togelher with the enclosure relative lo your proposed four year campaign against the superstition of protection at hand. I am wholly in sympathy with th" proposed movement. Hope it wiil get enthusiastic support. And you have locaied the ".strategic .point' when .\oii propose to launch the main 'drive' on the tariff, M'hen we can destroy this delusion the country is overwhelmingly Democratic. To mc it has been a matter of constant sur¬ prise that fhe leaders of the party have   not   recognized   this   fact   and

WORKING^FOR THE SOUTH SIDE CANAL
The bill to commit the State to the South Shore waterway project was introduced in the Legislature last week. It wa.s offered to the lower house by Assemblyman Thomas A. .McWhinney of Nassau Couniy. and fathered in tbe upper branch by Sen¬ ator George It. Thompson of Siift'olk. The measure is very similar to that of last session except that it does not appropriate for inirchase of a right of way, Lasl year's bill sought to appropriate filllii.OOO for this pur¬ pose. The new measure appropriates oniy ?1*,U00 to be used in securing tlie rights of way.
The new bill const if ufes State En- f;ineer Williams, Superintendent of Public Works Wilherspoon and a man to be named by the Governor as a commission to confer with the Fed¬ eral Government on the project an : to consider and secure rights of way. The $15,000 is to be used by fhe com¬ mission  for  tills purpose.
BILLIARD EXPERTS AT FKEEPORT CLUB
IvOvers of pocket billiards saw, two splendid exhibition games in the vil¬ lage this week. On .Monday a four- iiament game was played at the Free¬ porf club between Dr. William H, Runcie and Prof, Ward C. Moon, which was won by the latter. On Tuesday evening there was a spirited game at the Elks club between War¬ ren B, Ashmead. of Qucensboro Lodge and Thomas ,-\. Plunkett, of Brooklyn.
'ihc game at the I-;iks club was the means of bringing to this village two of the best players in Elkriom, which means among the best in Uni¬ ted States. Ashmead recently won the Elks championship, having clean¬ ed up during the fall and 'winter months. His game at fhe Freeport cluh was a return game 'with Pluu- kett, whom he defeated last week. The meeting Tuesday however result¬ ed in a victory for Pliinkeft, who won by    L50  to 145. ,
A large gallery of spectators saw the exhibition, Plunkett started in fine shape and by consistent work rolled np 97 in short time, making a high run of 28. In the meantime, Ashmead was making 57. Al this juncture Ashmead took on a spurt and with a high run of 18 and by some extraordinary "safe" breaking froze the balls so thoroughly that his opponent was left helpless, Ashmead brought the score to 112 fo 114 in his favor, ^
From then on it was nip and tuck until the last frame when with fhe scor)^ fie at 143, Plunkett got a good break on a difficult shot and ran off the necessary seven fo victory. The two men will meet again at fhe .New- York Lodge on May 24 for the decid¬ ing   chaiiipioiisliip   game.
Tbe pool gaiiic at the Freeport club between Pmf. .Moon and Dr, Riincif resulted in a victory for the Prof, wlio won by LlO'to 14!i, This game at¬ tracted a large gallery of enthusiasts who had fieiiiiciit ()i)|r)i'tiinifies to ai)plaiid the players. The two men played evenly all fhrouirh the game illld were each 14!t, both striving for Ik break on ,1 frozen beaii, wliich came to Ml. Moon. It wa.s a much (ic- i^civcd   \ictory.
It was cold in the shop of fhe Ful¬ ton  Repair Company on  .Main streei, Wednesday   morning.     .Nicholas Rod- j gers, of the Babylon Turnpike, a boy I in   charge   .if  the  offlce   was   feeding ; the    little   stove   in   the    front   office j pieces of coal with little effect.    The I boy saw a gasoline can in fhe corner, i Haling   l)Ut    little   or   no   experience j with voltatiles, young Rodgers seized , the can and poured some of its cou- ' tents   on   the  coals. I      There was a sudden flash  followed by an explosion which t)roke fhe front off the door and dirturbed everything within   radius   of   len   feef    Rodyers face was bent downward at the time. The blaze shot up  into it and  caught on  to his sweater.     The  lad  was al¬ most  blinded  and was  not   aware  for an   instant   that   his   clothing   was   a blaze.
Several persons nearby ran into the store and .saw the l)oys plight. Tbey did not throw anything over him but lifted hiin and ran out into the street where they rolled him a- long the cold a.sphalf. When tho blaze was extinguished the rescuers lifted the boy and carried him into a barbershop. Dr. Wiliiam H. Run¬ cie and Dr. Gordon Lindsey were Kuninioned and they bandaged the boy.s" wounds and had him conveyed fo  the .Mercy  hospital.
Smith Pearsall and Howard, the the chief, ran across the sireei with Ihe extinguishing tank and jiiif out the blaze in the store wilh only nomi¬ nal damage. As usual the wrong alarm of flre was blown. Instead of blowing 47, No, 74 which called the hieiucn to Sniith and Chiircli, Sis. was sounded. Thi.s now makes the fourth flre in siiccession..^ where the wrong alarm of flre was given to th-' firemen.
If men who know .how to treat such cases were not near, yoiini; Rodgers would have perished. A.s it is he is very painfully burned. His entire face and tioib sides of his body and both hands were bjidly scarred. He lived wiib his grand pariiits, ,\Ii'. and   .Mrs.  .\.   Sciii iciicr.
Upon an opinion by Commissioner Eminef, the up'State Public Service Commission has denied the petition of the FreeiMirf Railroad t^ompany to tease tho operation of its trolley line lietween fhe Freeport Railroad station and fhe ferry during the win¬ ter months. The application is de¬ nied upon the giounds that though under a recent (b^isi(.ii of the Ap¬ pellate Division tiie Commission is held to have the 'power to modify Iranchise r^'qiiirenients as to fares, etc.,, this newly found p()«ei' should Oe   employt-d    with   greiit   care.,
Mr. Emivet finds that in the present case the village Iwiard has express¬ ly refused to modify the franchise requirement which compels the rail¬ road fo operate six trips a day in winter that there is »'vidence that many people in Freeport and some ti'iiiisicnts would be inconvenienced by the discontinuance of this winter service, and that though i)ast experi¬ ence of tile railroad produces figures which show the winter operation fo have been unprofitable. Freeport is a glowing coiiiiiHiniiy in which the win¬ ter business of the company may well improve.
Discussing ihe decision of the Ap¬ pellate Division releircd to, that in the case of the New York & .North Shore Railroad Company, .Mr, Emmet says that before ihis decLsion if was generally held that flic Commission had no power to modify ihe condi- liiins of a franchise, and linds that the .North Shore reasoning through concerning rates of fare in franchises must also be considered to extend to mat ters of  servic^

STOP BEFORE YOU CROSS, SAYS R. R.
Following up its campaign for safety at grade crossing's, the Ixmg Island Railroad is now posting in its cars and stations, a new illustrated bulletin designed to secure the co¬ operation of automobilists.
"IT'S UP TO YOU who drive and ride in automobiles," reads .'the first sentence of the brief text, which says in conclusion: "All that a Railroad can do to pre' ent accidents at grade crossings is being done by the I.«ng Island!    STOP BEFORE YOU CROSS.
To the right of the above m^sage to motorists, the poster shows a ty¬ pical Long Island crossing watchman holding in his right hand a large cir¬ cular disk containing the word "STOP" painted In big black letters on a white background.
This new poster will also be placed in the cars and trolley lines afQliated with the Long Island railroad which operate in varloua sectiona of Long Island.
