THE EAST HAMPTON STAR. THURSDAY. APRIL 23. 1942 Along Long Island Br CHARLES J. McDERMOTT JR. Long Island Ladies who are, actresses are also writers. Cornelia Otis Skinner has been con tributing delightful bits to the New Yorker. One of these was entitled \The Defense of Long Island\ and was very witty indeed. We hate admit it but we don't know where on Long Island she lives. Will lomeone tell us? Ilka Chase about Oyster Bay in her new opus and of course Peggy Wood the New port actress made literary fame for herself last Winter. Speaking of Long Island lady writers, we were surprised ' letter from Sigrid Unset the other day and written on the notepaper of a Brooklyn Heights Hotel where she evidently lives. Brooklyn, by the way. has been home to many famous writers. Faith Baldwin lived there for 20 years 'til she moved out to Great Neck. Of course she spent her Summers Shelter Island. Thomas Wolfe had an apartment on Garden Place the Heights where he wrote stories of Gowanus and the Red Hook dis trict and the famous \Only the dead know Brooklyn\—a grand story.— Henry Adams went to Poly Prep, Al bert Payson TerhUne to Adelphi. Henry James graced the home of the Dodgers for a while as did the poet Marjorie (Live Alone and Like It) Hillis is the daughter of Brooklyn clergyman. Now she is the wife of Harry Roulston the grocer man and they live in Huntington. Henry Adams received some of his \Education\ in Brooklyn. Good Old Walt edited the Eagle and Nathali Crane still lives on the Heights. We could go on like this but an impor tant matter remains to be settled.

Meanest Bird Probably the world's most e sive bird is the Antarctic skua. Liv ing at the most southerly point of the earth, it is the only higher a mal, except man and his dogs, th occasionally crosses it. Dwelling this inhospitable place, the skua sl . vives only because it is a brutal kill er and a cannibal. Bom hard-boiled, representing an extreme example of Darwin's phi losophy of survival of the fittest, this bird begins life as a cannibal. There are ordinarily two eggs to a nest and the baby skuas come out of their shells fighting. One chick is a bit weaker than the other, and the frailer brother or sister is driv en from the nest and killed and eaton by its rapacious blood kin. If it survives the ferocious attack of a brother or sister, it may become the prey of its own hungry parents. The skua also eats its own eggs. This cannibalistic behavior main tains a delicate balance between population and a severely limited Mustard Popular Spice Mustard today vies with pepper as being the most popular spice, and nol all mustard is used in kitchen, either. The use of mu is as old as history, but not ui woman discovered that the seeds could be powdered and made into a paste, was mustard the seasoning we know it on the table. In England, in the early Eighteenth century, a Mrs. Durham developed a thriving trade because she used pestles and mortars to crush the mustard into a condiment. The blending of mustards delicate process on which depends the finished flavor. The volatile oil are also used medicinally, while th husks are compressed for fertilizei. Research shows that mustard add ed to the bathwater helps relieve fatigue and nervous tension. C I j « r c %) t » ST. LUKE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Rev. Samuel Davis. S. T.

The Golden Text is: “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall > saved” (Matthew 24: 13). Among the citations which com prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol lowing from the Bible: “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit i corruption. Behold, I shew you mystery; We shall not all sleep, but shall all be changed, In a n t, in the twinkling of an eye, the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed . . . Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unn able, always abounding in the work ce Lord, forasmuch as ye know your labour is not in vai tly; Lord\ (I Cor. 15: 50-52, 58). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following selection from textbook of Christian Science, 'Science and Health with Key to he Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Ed dy: \We know that all will be changed ‘in the twinkling of an eye,’ the last trump shall sound; but this last call of wisdom cannot coi till mortals have already yielded each lesser call in the growth Christian character. Mortals need not fancy that belief in the perience of death will awaken them to glorifled being” (p. 291). Know Your N avy.. The Battleship ie biggest fighting Naval ves sel afloat. Some 600 feet or more of solid power and strength built to stand, hit, and slug it out. Ninety- five per cent steel, it is as large as many of the largest skyscrapers and is designed, as every sailor knows, > fight any vessel anywhere.” It usually the last Naval vessel to ter action but when it does go in job is to deliver the knockout blow and win a battle or even a war.

The ship is heavily-armored.

The enemy must be destroyed before it can strike and the men on U. S. battle ships are trained to do just that job. Battleships of the U. S. Navy at sea today are stripped for action. Equipment that is not needed, that is inflammable, or that is likely to splinter, has been dispensed with. Wherever possible, wind sails have been substituted for ventilators and splinter screens and nets have been rigged.

Unnecessary inflam mables—oils, paints, and liquids— are tossed overboard. Hoses are out and tested. All electrical and steam circuits except those needed for battle are thrown off.
