PLAYING WITH MATCHES
The warning that matches should always be kept out of the reacli of children seems periodically to lose Its force. Every mother knows that a match In the hands of a Uttle boy or girl Is aa dangeroua as a can ot pow¬ der, yet we venture to say that not In one house out of twenty Ib there any real precaution taken to place matches In resiptacles that are safe and —<j receptacles on shelves or In closets where the paying fingers ot naturally curious Uttle folks canuoi get at them.
Tue dettih ot two children In Hoose- velt on Sunday were due primarily to the presence of matches where the children could get them. If the famll> matchbox had been kept in a satt place the children could not have pro^ vided themselves with a supply, with¬ out wuit. hay in the bam would not have been set aflre with its atten dant destruction of property and lives.
Every mother on Long Island should leU her children what happened to uLUe Joseph and Frederick Sergio, be¬ cause of their playing with machtes should be followed by a warning of the danger. This done, every motbei should herself assume tbe duty of iso- laitag the roatchzox in the Interest of family safety.
Because of the hours on combat- tingly condition abroad, Newport an¬ nounces that it will retrench some In the match of tennis. It will prob¬ ably cut out tho hors d' oeuvres.
Notwithstanding the conditions of the weather Ireland seems now to wearUig her Uulster without becom¬ ing overheated. ^ .uJ^AL^..

THE PRIMARIES
Tho primary elections under the new law will beheld on September 8, which is on Monday and should be marked on the calendar. The polls win be open between the hours of 3 and 9 p. m.
Voting under the new law is not slmplifled. One mark no longer car¬ ries a straight ticket. This year, in order to vote hU Ucket "straight," the oter in almost every election district in this State will be compelled to make thlrty-flve or more marks on bis primary ballot if he shonld decide to do his duty by voting for one can¬ didate for every place to be filled in the subsequent general election.
The baUot is a near approach to the Massachusetts form. ConsequenUy tbe vot« will be required to make bia X mark In the voting space at the left of the name o« «^ach candi¬ date for whom he deBirfe»'to vote.
This year there are to be nominated at tbe primaries aeven candidate for the adHjlnistratlve elecUve offices of tbe State, an Associate Judge of the oCurt of Appeals, one United States Sensor and flfeen Delegates at Large to the oCnsUtutional oCnvenUon, all of whom ate notolnated and elected to ihm tSate at Urg«. to addlUon
there is in every Instance one can¬ didate for SUte Senator, one candi¬ date for ttae AsBembly, tbree district delegates to tbe Contlstutional Con¬ vention, one candidate for member of tbe State Committee, and one or more candidates for members of tbe Cotmty Committee from eacb election district. With local nominations it is estimated that voters who do their fuU duty at the primaries will be fequired.to mark their ballot on an average in thirty- five different places.
Tbe duties of the voter who inteds to participate in the important func¬ tions of the new primaries will begin wben the enrollment lists are in the making. Under the new law only vo¬ ters wbo have enrolled with some party primaries.
In theory the direct primary rflstor- es to the elections at large the au¬ thority which they lost under the boss system. In practice, unless the voters are more watchful than they usually are, the superior country of the t)083C3 will speculate as before.
FAIRNESS AND TRUTH A correspondent writes to ask: "Are you for or against Harry helth?"
The Post's position with respect to Mr. Keith and all their leaders big and little, in each and every political party and fashion thereof is that of an un¬ prejudiced observer. Men bave a hab¬ it of coming and ^ going in politics, rhe conspicious leader of today may De without a followins tomorrow.
The Post feels »hat tho only safe position to occupy is that of a cham¬ pion of fairness and of truth in which ciervlce it enjoys the unique distinc¬ tion ot baving the approval of a fust growing intelligent constituency.
The burglars who raided a number of summer homos at Quogue, taking ;fl5,000 in money and jewels in the night, arrived aud separated in a su¬ perior make of automobile. This is what may appropriatally bu termed 1914 model house breaking.
' A WORD FOR THE FISH The price of fish in the wDoichhu market is about aa low as any food commaudily can be. Blues can be bought tor six cents a pound, and other flsh are txinspondingly cheap.
Why sin't this a good time for tht Kishernu-ns' Protective Associuiion oi Hempstead and other similar bodies to come together and start a campaign of education on tho food values o, flsh? Every good housewife knws that there are almost as many appe tlzing way of cooking and serving fish as there are methods for preparing beef. A fresh flsh is rich in elements which are not to be found in steaks and chops. The high cost of living almost invariably is figured on means which fails to include more than an occasional flsh. We believe lu flsh. We would like to see iish—delicably prepared flsh—on every table at least twice a week. If the public needs to be educated to more fish it is high time ttiat the teachers organized their classes. We recommend tbis editorial to Clarence Southhard, George M. Smith. A. eVrity and F. aMlley, a quartette of gentlement who can talk to flsh in their own language.
The statement of policeman Ru¬ dolph Peterson, made to a reporter of the ol'st, that it was his habit to steal something every night while on duty in Rockville eCntre. reads Uke flction. StUl, Peterson narrates with with specific details bow he visited one store after another and stole small articles and large, imtil, he es¬ tablished what might be caUed a thieving patrol.
Ho admits that while on bis vaca¬ tion* be visited one stors and stole half a dozen pairs of stockings and got away with a lot of other stuff besides. Peterson's case oug^t to be considered by ttae eminent professors of psychology after the judge and Jury bave preformed their obvious duty.

LONG ISLAND ROADS IN SPLENDID FORM
Automobile Club Announce¬ ment Pleases Motorists- South Shore Routes Good
GOOD WORD IS SENT BROADCAST
Nassau County Engineer Seaman Pushing Work on Highways- Short Detours Are Needed
The announcement enuvaling from the Bureau of Tours of the Automo¬ bile Club of America, which has the endorsement of William H. Seaman, engineer of Nassau County, that the roads of tbe South Shoro are in the pink of condition is perhaps one of the most pleasing and altogether satis¬ fying that has reached the motorist since the openingiuf the touring sea¬ son.
The ciub has spread the good word broadcast through circulars. They contain a comprehensive statement of highway conditions on Long island deal generally with all the omportant avenues of traffic likely to be used by automobiles.
According to the announcement, thf Queens Boulevard and the Queens Borough Bridge in Jamaica are in flne shape and Hillside avenue has also been improved within one block of the ecaePMuno ;z etaoln shrud the the ePace oMnument. Here the road is under construction at present and the detour is to turn right into CUn¬ ton avenue tu Fulton street, then turn left and follow good asphalt to a gar¬ age on the corner of Smith street, or, as the road is called further on, the Merick road.
Good asphalt and macadam will be found leading to Springfield with the exception of about a mile of the road that is bumpy. It Is then good maca¬ dam, followed by a stretch of a mile and a half of new asphalt to Valley Stream. From this point to the east work is now going on and from day to day short sections will be closed off, but the detours are 9«t clearly outlined that this really occasions no great dif¬ liculty.
Nassau "County Engineer Seaman advises the Bureau of Tours of (he Automobile Club ol America that this work will progress as rapidly as pos¬ sible. Good macadam, stretches of which have just been refinlshed, leads on through aBldwin, rFeeport, Massa pequa, Amityville and Babylon to Bay .Snore turough Islip is under construc¬ tion; the detour Is over.a good dirt ;oad along the nortlji'Slde of the rail¬ road tracks through Islip, East Islip, to Great River. The detour coming west on this road is: At Cutting Lodge turn right and cross tho rauroad al the Great River station and follow this good dirt road to Clinton avenue in Bay Shore.
The Hempstead route to aBbylon from Jamaica is over good macadam through Hempstead and continues ten and one-half miles beyond; part of this road has also lately been resur¬ faced. The route then follows a «ood dirt road for about six miles to Biiby¬ lon. This is a popular route for those who wish to avoid the traffic along the Shore road.
From Babylon at the Merrick road and Deer Park avenue there is an at¬ tractive dirt road across tbe island to Centerport. This goes through Deer Park and crosses the Motor Parkiway at the Deer Park Lodge.
From Centerport to Flushing by way ot Huntington, oCld Spring Harbor, Bull's Head, Rosyln and Manhasset the roads are In good condition with the exception of some few places where short stretcheS Dave become somewhat worn.
On tflis road a contract has been let to repair and resurface a stretch from Bull's Head to Manhasset.
In Flushing, Broadway and Jackson avenue are in good condition to the Queensboro Bridge. Through Nassau county the Jericho turnpike has just been repaired from Mineola to West¬ bury, and the stretch from Westbury to Jericho will soon receive attention. The maintenance of the road from Jericho east to tbe Suffolk county liue is under the supervision Of the State Highways Department.
Street Commissioner Repairs Crossing There is wide and favorable com¬ ment among citizens of Freeport, es¬ pecially those who drive automobiles concerning tbe repaired gutters at Qrove street and OUve Boulevard. The work was completed a week ago by Street Commissioner Foster Sprsgue. In place of a plank covered culvert a block troth has been laid at tbe west side and a similar one opposite.

Mr. Sutherland, the editor of this paper, and the writer were dls*- cu.shing two poems.
•'1 I'ke this one much the better, I remarked, he was silent.
¦•Don't you?" I urged, he sliook hi.-i head with a smile.
"Why not".'" I asked, really to defend my ground.
"One liking al the effect of a poem defends on so many things,' lie said gentij. "On ta^te. cultivation, education. Inherit Instincts and, mo.'^f of all perhaps, an mood. It i,« dilficult to say why." And tliere you have it. Some twenty years ano ihe brilliant editor Chavees A. Dana, selected ten best short poeiiis.
