Systtmatic Town Financing.
Th€ adoption by Oyster Bay and other towns on I>onc I.<land of the tax budget system of financing, under proViBions of the Town Law, is a tribute to the excellent business poiicy and activity of Hempstead's supervi¬ sor, Hiram R. Smith.
When Supervisor Smith was in¬ ducted into office a few years e^go, it did not take him long to discover that a change was needed in the proce¬ dure of paying town bills and arrang¬ ing the tax ibudget. F'or many years, in fact, it is believed since Hempstead became a municipality, the town boards met and audited bi.ls. Money was lacking to pay the claims and certificates of indebtednes.s were is¬ sued. At the end of the fiscal year, the town boards would total the bills audited or outstandinnf and put the amount in a tax budget. This pro¬ cedure actually kept the town finan¬ ces a year behind.
Before the administration of Smith Cox as supervisor, the town's credit became affected to such an extent, by reason of the outstanding claims, that he considered it incumbent to esti¬ mate the expenses for a year in ad¬ vance. This procedure brought some relief, but did not bring a satisfac¬ tory business solution to the view of Supervisor Smith.
He consulted Comptroller Travis, who contended that while not serious, the course taken was a technical eva¬ sion of the law. The supervisor sug¬ gested a new budget system and asked if the Comptroller would not aid in the preparation of a bill for adoption. TKe supervisor and comptroller got together on the bill submitted by the former and it way approved. Its introduction at Albany, £wo years ago, was followed by a ready enact¬ ment.
The bill provides that each depart¬ ment give an estimate to the town board of money needed, then the board estimat<;s the entire budget, holds a public hearing on it, and afterward makes an adoption. The board has the power to decrease the budget, but not to increase it. The law is not mandatory upon.the towns, but as it has the effect of providing a far ibetter ibusiness system than the old plan, it is anticipated that within a reasonable time, every town in New York State will follow it.
North Hempstead, which is the only town in Nassau County not an¬ nounced as having adopted ths sys¬ tem, is reported to have it under con¬ sideration. Hempstead, which took the initiative, found that raising money in advance on a sound basis to pay claims was far better than having them drag a year l)ehind, and iSupervrsor Smith has received much praise for correcling the evil and af¬ fording all other towns of the Em¬ pire State the opportunity to do like¬ wise—Som^/i Side Observer.

"As a man thinketh, so i.s he.". The old Biblical proverb ia finding verification in the trenches in France. The American soldiers want the re¬ volver and the sawed-ofT shotgun. Tho revolver is peculiariy an .\merican weapon. The sawed-off shotgun was an American invention devised for fighting highwaymen in the days of transportation by staipe. Every American t>oy, from the time when he reads hia first detective story, or ^.ale of the frontier, think^of revolvers or sawed-off shotguns when he thinks of fighting.

Pitch Hay and Ponder.
It is announced that a considerable number of government employees at the national capital will spend their annual vacations helping farmers har¬ vest their crops. It is also announced that many colleges are enrolling their students for some sort of productive work during the summer vacation, either factories or on farms. These are moves in the right direction. To the government clerk who is accus¬ tomed to drawing down $1.50 to .^250 per month, the wages the farmers of Maryland and Virginia can afford to pay will look small. But pitching hay, shocking wheat, or other farm labor, with country air to breathe at night and an appetite equal to all that ca¬ pacity will warrant, will b-e just as good for the indoor worker as a sum¬ mer of tennis, boating, fishing or hunt¬ ing. And it will be a protfitable va- »cation, instead of the usual expensive one. The blistered hands and aching back will make it easier for the clerk to understand the farmers' viewpoint on public service, and to sympathize with him in his troub.es. Perhaps the government clerk will aid to in¬ stil a spirit of economy in government service after he has put his shoulder under one small corner of the tax¬ payers' burden.
Taffy Did Not Go Around.
From the Saaaau County Review.
Levy "Knocks Out Speed Ordi¬ nance."—So«//f Side Obset^ver, like¬ wise The Nassau Post.
Sure, folks take taffy, so give it to»them thick! This refers to a case at Lynbrtjok against our local counsel¬ or, George Morton Levy, where Levy made no attempt to "knock out the ordinance," as a law, but rather ob¬ jected to the un-legel way in which the ordinance was prepared and the case against him was presented.
We cannot think of Counse or Levy making an attempt to evade an fic¬ tion if the ordinance under which he [ was arrested was in lejral shape, and | the case against him rested on its merits.
What perversion! If Levy objected to the "un-iegal way" in which the or¬ dinance was prepared and defeated the attempt to convict him for vio¬ lating it, he surely knocked it out, and there is no other logical deduc¬ tion. The lierifiv editor may term a good news beat "taffy," but in this cas«< he failed to get a chance for a bite. The sweets are coming to The NAsaAi' Post and the South Side Oh- aerved.
labylon Needs No Curlew.
From the South Side Sigtial. The Riverhead town board ^has adopted a curfew ordinance, and how all boys and gir.a under sixteen years of age on the streets there after ten o'clock at night, unless ac<K)m- panied by parents or guardians, will be punished. Laws sske, neighbor. we don't need a curfew in this com¬ munity; all our folks are safe in bed long before ei^t o'clock. Can't beat us for being good, can you?
Five boys were caught robbing a | strawberry patch near Bridghampton . and their parents had to put up $.'>0 to settle with the fruit grower. The boys dropped the berries, seven quarts, when pursued, so tliat their parents did not even jfet a taste for money. If the boys did not have a I big taste of old-fashioned walloping i when they arrived at home, such should have been administered. Money is too precious at this time to throw away on boys appetities for straw¬ berries in fifty dollar doses.
The season is reported to be much more advanced than usual in Hunt- | ington. with peas from local gardens j marketed since ihe latter part of May i and home-grown potatoes on at least I one dinner table two weeks ago.

The metnl In these Implements had, I It Is eald, turned to copper. Kxtraor- i dlnary ns this mny appear. It can be scientifically explained.
The water, filtering through the rock and the copper ore veins, dis¬ solved some of the copper, the solu¬ tion containing sulphate of copper. As soon as the sulphuric acid In this so¬ lution touched the iron It dissolved that metal and deposited copper in Its place, for sulphuric acid has a greater affinity for Iron than for copper. In the process certain impurities which had existed In the Iron were left be¬ hind undisturbed.

there is great need for an officer to regulate the traflRc. Five points of highways meet at the intersection, and when cars are running thick there is great danger of a smash-up every minute. Two weeks ago a car was wrecked and a couple of men hurt.

The car which struck hers was No. 111,498.

How Camouflaga Is Employed. The act of hiding anything from the enemy Is termed camouflage. Tanks and magazines are covered with amorphous patches of vlvld-colored paint that are supposed to disguise them. Guns are hidden by branches; false guns made of tree trunks are erected here and there to attract the enemy's fire; troops behind the lines spend hours digging a falsa trench^ and then laugh gleefully when as enemy airman drops a flare over It. tbe signal to his gunners to fire. A. great use of camouflage Is to hide ad¬ vancing troops. The varieties, then of camouflage, are infinite. Any little or big trick that can cause the enemy to see what does not exist; any ruse that win make him think that yonr guns are where In reality fhey are not; any cloud of smoke that you can wrap around yourself, like the Trojan of old, when you advance fo fhe at¬ tack ; nny trench upon which by means of dummy figures, you cnn persuade your enemy to waste his ammunition, all such things come under tbe head of camouflage.

How Vocal Sounds Are Produced.
In our throats nre two cords which we call our vocal cords. When we talk or sing or shout we cause these cords to vibrate and thus we make the sounds of our voices. The most won¬ derful part of thla voice of ours la that with only two vocal cords we can produce practically all the notes that can be made with a piano, which has a wire for every note, excepting tbat we cannot make su many at oue time. The human throat Is so wonderfully constructed that we can lengthen or abort en our vocal cords at will aod produce, with two strlnga. In our throats as many notes aa It takes the piano many more strings to produce.—- From the Book of Wonders by Permis¬ sion Bureau of industrial Uducatlon. Washington, D. 0.
