The anaual report of the Local Vis¬ iting Committee for Nassau County, an organization composed of a num¬ ber of prominent men and -women in¬ terested in community welfare, read at a meeting of the committee in the Nassau County Trust Company build¬ ing, January 29, contains* words oif praise for. the way. that the Hemp¬ stead Town Almshouse is being con¬ ducted, for the excellent co-opelration -wiith the committee of most of the public officials of the County and for the Almshouse at Hicksville for North Hempst^id and Oyster Bay. The in¬ creased amount of work done at Nas¬ sau Hospital during the past year, and the improvements that are being added to the hospital are among the other matters that are touched upon.
The committee visited the Hemp¬ stead Almshouse on Jenuary 26, and has this to say respecting ^e obser¬ vations that it made at that time: "The number of inmates was 52. Ten of them were women. Several of the men were ill, two old men seriously ill. The condition of the house and of the hospital buildings was excellent. A resident nurse has been installed, and a number of changes for the bet¬ ter have heen made. Weekly baths are insisted upon, and clothing for each inmate has Ibeen apportioned and marked; lockers have been pro¬ vided where each 'inmate may keep them. After coming from the laun¬ dry the clothes are mended. On the 50 acres of land under cultivation enough potatoes, cabbage, kale, tur¬ nips and carrot.s were raised to sup¬ ply the house during the winter, and |)otatoes to the value of $1.').">0 have iK'on suld. The cost of ploughing was $!I0. .Ml the pork for use was rais¬ ed on the farm. There have been 21 cast's of illnes.s sent to Nassau Hospi¬ tal. .Minor cases are cared for at the hou.se."
Hogarding the inspection of the North Hempstead and Oyster Bay Ainishouse the report says: "Fifty- nine inmates were reported, 11 of them being women. "The house was in the usual good condition and the farm has been well cultivated and productive. For three days of the week cornmeal is used fpr the table. At Christmas there was a dinner for the inmates, a Christmas service and a flag presentation."
Conditions at the Nassau County Jail were not entirely satisiactory to the committee, and recommendations that the committee thinks -would ef¬ fect a bettermen of conditions are set fort^ in the report. The following is the oommittee s report on the visit to the jail: "Fifty-two prisoners re¬ ported, one a woman. About 40 were found in,the short term rooms, mostly
old men. The classification is open to criticism, as minors are allowed to mingle with the adult prisoners. The cells were not in as good order as on other visits, otherwi.se conditions were good." Discussion followed the report, and a number of suggestions offered, one being that a farm be pur¬ chased to furnish work for prisoners. Another suggestion was that prison¬ ers be placed on farms as laborers. The following resolution was offered and passed:
"Resolved, that Mr. J. A. Albertson be requested to ask the Board of Su¬ pervisors: lst—What action, if any, is being taken in response to tha sug¬ gestions of the Prison Board of the state in looking to an increase of room at the jail?
"2nd—To suggest the separate heating plant as a solution as Sug¬ gested by the Grand Jury.
"3rd—To ask what, if any, steps are lieing tak^n to est^'blish a chal- dten's court, a probation system and the segregation of minors from other prisoners. ¦
Miss Mary iMakohn, the county agent, reported that in the Outdoor Relief Department there have been about 90 cases reported since the list meting; the work has been mostly eonstxuctivfe, as there has been no employment problem this winter, nqr the usual winter epidemic of grippe to contend witli. Relief is given, as far as possible, in the nature of work.. The Relief Department of the Nassaa County Association ie an auxiliary o: the Red Cross and &:«ac»iAjperican Committee for tihe FflBetMCna Belgi¬ an children. ^^
Continuing to its conclusion the re¬ port reads: "It was the opinion of the committee and associate workers that the usual Xmaa ^vork should not have been slighted because of the unusual conditions, sadness and depression ex¬ perienced by every one. As a result of the activities of the committee and the workers many stockings were fill¬ ed and warm underwear, mittens and candy were liberally donated by mem¬ bers of the committee, and these stockings were sent from the office of the Nassau County .Association.
Several members of thu committee ma<le it possible for 10 adults and 22 children to attend the Xnias party given at the Grand Central Palace untler tho aus;j)ices of the National League for Womjiri's Services.
Intere.stin.c: letters of thank.s were read from children who had received stockings, and from grateful mothers who attended this party. Many of these women had never been to New York City before, and the little glimpse of Fifth Avenue and the gay- ety of the party will continue to brighten their dreary lives for a long time.
The medical and surgical clinics established at the Nassau Hospital in November have been of great as¬ sistance, although the unusual weath¬ er conditions have made it impossi¬ ble for patients from isolated sec¬ tions to attend. There is a need for a dental clinic and a free eye clinic at the Nassau Hospital in Mineola because it is so centrally located.
Excellent co-operatdon was report¬ ed from most of the public officials. The committee adjourned to meet at the usual time and place.
Mrs. F'red Gottschaldt, of Pennsyl¬ vania avenue, who has been seriously ill, is alowly improving.

In addition to fipruring out reme¬ dies for the defects in the dog license law. Town Clerk Franklin C. Gilbert has had another task thrust upon him, which he says is harder than trying to comply with some of the provisions of the dog license statute.
Since last Sunday night the Town Clerk has been perusing all of Conan Doyle's best Sherlock Holmes stories in an effort to find the best means to detect the thieves who robbed his house early Sunday evening while he and his family were visiting his moth¬ er. ' The redoubtable County Detec¬ tive, Carman Plant, has also been called upon to solve the mystery, but to date the culprits have not been caught.
About two years ago the Town Clerk's hbuse was ro/bbed of several hvindr^ dollars worth of valuables. "This -timo the thieTcs were satisfied with a smaller haul, and only took a gold watch and chain, a pair of gold cuff buttons and two stick pins uiat the ge/iial Town Clerk won in the days of his athletic proweBs, and which possessed much sentimental value. Ehitrance to the house was gained through a pantry window, whicJi the thieves reached by stand¬ ing on a garbage ^barrel taken froin , the garage ***

When yoii buy an automobile what do you really buy.''
I)o you only buy the material and labor? Or do you buy what a car stands for in repu¬ tation, in achievment, in excellence of rauk?
When you buy a car, you believe what the maker says of it. You buy material and labor plus reputation.
Reputation in motor car building is most important. *
Witliout reputation, your metal, rubber and ^(vood would be merely a highly polished mech¬ anical assembly. With it, you are certain of sat¬ isfaction, plea.sure, health, and efficient travel.
Chevrolet reputation is founded on complete sati.sfactiou. VVe could not have grown with¬ out it.
