As o u r read e r s know, it w e n t from five cents the copy to ten cents, on A p ril first. F o rty yearfe ago, when this p a p e r was founded, single copies could be bought fo r five cents. A s every business m an knows, costs of produc tion have changed considerably in fo r ty years. B u t w e k e p t to the old price. B e g inning w ith th e F e b ru a ry 5th issue o f th is year, th e size of th e S ta r increased twofold. W ith th e rapid grow th of E a s t H a m p ton itself, and th e prospect of m u ch developm e n t in A m a g a n s e tt and M o n tauk, we fe l t th a t th e tim e had come fo r th e S ta r t o keep pace w ith th e tow n in grow th, an d to cover es pecially th e t e r r i to r y ea s t of us m o re thoroughly, th e r e f o r e th e M o n tauk supplem e n t, m a k ing th e S ta r really two p a p e rs in one. This necessitated additional help. T h a t is one very clear reason why we should charge m o re p e r single copy. A second reason is t h a t t o charge five cents to the occasional buy e r a t th e new s stands, and alm o s t exactly th e sam e— $2.50 p e r y e a r to the subscriber who pays in advance, w a s u n f a ir to th e subscriber. W hy should he subscribe, w h e n he could get his p a p e r a t th e stan d s fo r the samfe price, and quicker a t th a t, n o t having to w a it fo r th e m ail to be sorted? W e w e re losing subscribers; it was poor business. T h e re has been no advance in th e subscription p r ice ; and we contem plate none. T h e re has been a slight tiro p in th e new s stand sales, in the m o n th since advancing the p r ice ; b u t as m a n y new subscribers have been added to our list in th a t m o n th. W e p r i n t ju s t as m a n y copies as we • e v e r did, and o ften th e en tire issue is sold o u t and we have a hard tim e saving enough fb r o u r perm a n e n t files. W h e n th e sum m e r population begins to arrive, we expect t o have to p r i n t a larg e r edition than ever before. Since adding th e M o n tauk Section to the S tar, circulation has increased from 1470 to 1600 copies. G eorge Lee, who has sp e n t th e w in ter a t th e M a idstone A rm s and has now re tu r n e d to New Y o rk fo r a few weeks, w rote u s a -very kind le t t e r the o th e r day, accom p a n y ing his check fo r a y e a r’s subscription.

Even In ou r m o tor- ing we seem to be possessed of the idea t h a t we m u s t h u rry to g e t some-1 w h e re, although we m ay have no I p a r tic u la r destination in m ind. An Englishm a n who, even d u rin g his visit to this country, sp e n t m u ch tim e in w a lking said of us th a t th e pic tu r e s in periodicals rep resen tin g the occupants o f autom o b iles reclining in lu x u ry and enjoying m agnificent scenery did n o t depict us tru ly .

They a c t as if the best th in g ab o u t w a lking is giving it up -an d haying a rid e .” Obviously th e autom o b ile does not perm it of sau n terin g . W h e n th e road is good, th e r e com e s th e irresistible im p u lse to m a k e th e m o s t of it, which to n e a rly all driv e r s m e a n s anyw h e re from thirty-five to sixty m iles an hour. A n d consequently t h e r e is lack ing th e o p p o rtunity fo r quiet en jo y m e n t of th e passing landscape; and lacking too is th e inducem e n t fo r reflection and re s tf u l m e d itation w h ich w a lking, eith e r by one’s self or w ith agreeable com p a n ions, m akes alm o s t inevitable. In its own way m o toring has its pleasures, and on th e whole they are no less th a n those of w a lking.

Looking ‘Them Over DAYS W E ’LL NEVER FO R GET CTHE W HY of SUPERSTITIONS By H . LOVE SUPERSTITION FOR THE FU L L E R L IFE regarding love m a tters which Is common in the rural districts of this and m any other countries consists Ih divining by the dodder plant, a gold en threadlike parasite which grows abundantly npon bushes. T a k e the dodder and, w h irling it three tim e s around your head, throw i t on a bush. If i t lives your love is re tu r n e d ; if it dtes th e reverse Is the case. F o r so m any centuries has the dodder been used by the superstitious for this pur pose th a t \its common nam e has be come “Love Vine.7 Its real and ancient name, dodder, is derived from a Teutonic w o r d ' m eaning like th e yolk of an egg—yel lowish, and connecting i t up with the yellow light of. the sun. Ancient m y ths and folk-lore tales show th a t the conception - of the man as a tree and the ^om a n as th e clinging vine w a s as fam iliar a symbol to early man as i t is to us as a modern m etaphor. Mr. Caveman w a s an observing p e r son—his w its were sharpened by his constant struggle to escape annihila tion ; observation of mLnutiae and draw ing of deductions therefrom was one of his s trong points. He saw the dodder clinging to the bush as the ivy clings to th e oak. He saw that the dodder was yellow like th e light of the sun, like the yolk of an egg. The egg contained; the germ of life, the sunlight w a s a mystic, vivifying force from the sun-god. In his mix-up of things m aterial and things spiritual he concluded therefrom th a t the dod der m u st possess mystic- qualities which rendered it m ost appropriate for working magic with regard to love affairs. And he passed the Idea onto us, his superstitious descendants. (© by M c C lure N e w spaper Syndicate.) --------- O --------- P e n a lty Jones—W h£ does Benson look so sad?

A h e a rty appetite, a p e r f e c t diges tion, a one hundred p e r cen t efficient liver, a clear b rain and a general physical exhilaration— g iven these as th e rew a rd of physical culture, no one w o rries m uch about th e problem o f life extension.

E i t h e r the garden o r th e house is so m u ch an expression of the ow n e r’s person ality. T h e r e ’s one garden, down Egypt, th a t h a s a su rp r is e every sum m e r.

P robably t h a t ’s t h e w a y very m any of ou r older houses here w e re m a d e ; and the neighbors w e re called in to help w ith th e heavy p a r ts . In th e old, neighborly tim e s, d i d n 't they have “ roof-raisings” o r som e thing like th a t , w h e re everybody helped and th e n all w e re trea t e d by th e house ow n e r? Isn ’t th a t w h e re the an c ien t custom of p u ttin g up a bush on a ro o f -tree originated? I saw a house-raising In the P h il ippines last sum m e r. A new ly-m a r ried young m an had built his own bam b o o house; th e n it had to be raised ten fe e t high onto heavy posts; all houses o u t th e r e m u s t be raised off the ground so, on acco u n t of floods; and also so th a t th e fam ily pony, chickens, pig, an d so fo r th can ro o s t u n d e r n e a th them ; and th e fam ily itself enjoys th e shade th e r e in th e h e a t o f th e day. All th e young m a n ’s frien d s w e re called in to help ra ise th e house; dressed in red sh irts and w h ite “ cam- isas,” picked it up and carried it easily to th e place it w a s to stand, in the m idst of a little palm grove. They shouted in a sing-song, rh y t h m ic s o r t of howl, as th e y w e n t along; and when th e house w a s finally lift ed in place a g r e a t cheer w e n t up. M eanw h ile th e wom en had been busy over huge kettles o f food, which was dished up to the w o r k e rs as soon as they w e re finished. W e w e re offered som e, b u t not having w o rked to earn it, we refused. I t was sw e e t potato, cooked in th e su n ; th e y say th a t is very good; an d some kind of stewed fish. T a lking ab o u t building houses aro u n d here in th e old days, w ith an A m a g a n s e tt m an y e s terday, he said of the \U n c le Tom m y E d w a rds” place, now th e p ro p e r ty o f J. C. Co*zens. “ T h e r e ’s a lo t of saw n tim b e r in th a t house.” He w e n t on to explain th a t when th a t house was built— a round 1800 so— th e boss builders w e n t into the woods to select t rees th e y would use fo r tim b e r. T h e y w o u ld m a rk certain especially fine oaks, help cu t them down, tak e th e m to th e old windm ill on w h a t is now th e village green n e a r th e railro a d statio n ; th e r e they would be saw n into boards.

The article told of its re c e n t sale, w h ich will keep it in th e G a rd in e r lin e ; and a g r e a t deal of its history, which is fam iliar to m o st of us. In one of th e new novels a young m an, longing fo r social ease and graces, p ray s th a t he m ay learn to talk like so-and-so, w e a r his clothes like som ebody else, and “ d rin k te a like M r.

The need fo r th e rem o v a l o f u n sightly signboards from the roads leading into B ay S h o re, and the fo r bidding o f th e practice of placing posters in every available place, has been m o st obvious, because it is im possible to ignore th e s e signs— th e y «lem and th e atten tio n of th e passerby. The p lasterin g o f th e landscape w ith signs has caused m u c h u n favorable com m e n t from resid e n ts o f th is com m u n ity as w e ll as fro m tran s ien ts, b u t because of th e lack of a lead e r th e r e has n e v e r been an y concerted action to rem e d y th e situ a tio n . It is, how e v e r, im p o ssible to believe th a t a tow n so progressive as B a y Shore w o u ld long allow ad v e rtisin g sign boards to m a r th e beau ty o f th e vil lage. Public opinion can be relied upon to effect th e i r rem o v a l.

Sm all, cheap houses, huddled closely to g e th e r so th a t every usable inch of ground will add its quota of profit fo r th e p ro m o ter of the de velopm e n t p ro ject, will not a t t r a c t th e class of residents which we hope Will find Bay S h o re the ideal place fo r a hom e. These people appreciate th e ad v a n tag e s which th e country has to offer, and one of th e i r chief reasons fo r choosing su rb u r b a n life is fre e d o m . from th e closely joined houses and ap a r tm e n t buildings, which have m ade it im p o ssible fo r th e average city dw e ller to catch a glim p se of out-of-door life, except in the public parks.

T h e r e is a n o t h e r p o ten t reason why the construction w o rk and the distance betw e e n fram e buildings should be su b ject to s t r i c t reg u latio n .
