* E Elks of the nation put on a safety day last Friday _/ and Justice George B. Serenbets held a class on safety for the benefit of the members of the Hempstead He told them how they shouldn't drive and how should drive, what they should know about their automo- biles and how they should keep their cars in fit for the roads. It was a very good paper that he delivered and it was an attentive class. The only of the whole thing is the fact that only a few Elks beard it. Even the judge realized the futility of his talc \All the public addresses and warn- ings that have been issued by ' the police, from the public plat- form, in the schoolhouses, in colleges and universities, seem to go unheeded,\ he said. \Men and women iisten to these warnings th a certain mental reserva- , shrug their shoulders and say to themselves, 'It doesn't mean me'. He's got the right idea there and until something more dras- tic than mere lectures on safe driving or mere fines for those apprehended for reckless driv- ing is put into effect, there will be no such thing as safety on the roads. The proper authori- ties have got to go beyond that and they might just as well re- alize it now as any time. They've got to meet the situation at the source, which is the issuance of drivers' licenses. OME folks ate inclined to be critical of The Review-Star because it displays prominently each - Monday the number of people killed or injured in au- tomobile . accidents over | the weekend. They have let it be known that they don't care to see pictures of badly battered cars, with bodies of the dead or injured awaiting the arrival the hearse or the ambulance. This is The Review-Star's way of conducting a weekly les- son in the need for safe driving tn the county and probably it is baving some effect, although the casualty list would not show it. It may be, too, that it is just ms futile as a safety lecture in schools, colleges and universi- ties or talks on safety by the po- Hoe. Let me cite you an instance. 'The boss of a local business spot in one of the larger villages of the county got himself banged up considerably in an accident. It happened at a spot where the flow of the cars was regulated by a traffic light. Either he or the driver of the other car sought to beat the light. Perhaps both of them tried but neither of them did. The two machines came together and the bees of the local business spot went to the hospital, quite badly in need of repairs. His helpers were shocked at the accident but did it make any lasting im- pression on them? It did not. One of them went t a couple of weeks later and got himself involved in a crash that certainly never would have happened had the two drivers involved been proceeding with care, That \It doesn't mean me\ lime is all wrong. It does mean you, but you probably won't re- alize it unti' you find yourself in the hospital or until you are awakened at an early hour some morning to be told that a loved one is in the hospital and you had better hurry if you want to beat the Grim Reaper, tackle It. It doesn't make much difference which does as long as ane of them takes ahold of it and goes through with it to a conclusive finish, The end will be bitter for lot of drivers. It will mean the loss of their licenses for a long time and it will mean a more severe test and s probationary before they get their H- wey back.

He received 3,890 votes; Theodore Roosevelt, 3,624; William How- ard Taft, 2,741. All other major Democratic candidates carried the town, except for the vic- tory of Elvin N. Edwards of Freeport, Progressive candi- date for assemblyman, who re- ceived a plurality of 47 votes. The Baldwin Women's Ad- vance club met recently at the home of Mrs. Valentine Smith. 'The topic for discussion was \The Panama Canal.\ Mrs. James Story and Mrs. William Raynor were in charge of the program. The Centre Social club held its weekly meeting today at the home of Mrs. Lewis Karis. Those present were Mrs. Elmer Raab, Mrs. Bigelin, Mrs. Ed- ward Lenime, Mrs. Walter Johnson and Mrs. Fred Mar- quardt. 10 YEARS AGO Another of the old wooden stores in the Main street sec- tion of Hempstead is to be torn down and replaced by a modern store building, according to In- spector John S. Dugan, who has issued a permit to B. L. Shapiro, owner of 'a three-story building at 33 Main street, to tear down the structure and build a one-story building of brick. Two fire alarms, one false, gave the Hempstead fire de- partment two election day runs.

Kniffin says Walter B. Pitkin in \Capitalism Carries On\ is not prosperity. To gain is not to do well. Profit is net gain from capital invest- ment. Prosperity is well being. There is no uniform and reliable connection between the two. Many a man who makes huge profits never attains prosperity. Many prosper who profit little or not at all. Permanent pros- perity comes only in so far as we educate people in an intelli- gent way of life.\ One can hardly turn to the financial pages of the paper without finding a report that such and such a company has made such and such profits; and that they are, as a rule, greater than last year. In truth capital is indeed making \net gains,\ as the dividend checks show. But when it comes to prosperity, that is a different matter. Judged by the profit standard, we are in an era of prosperity; but when we begin to consider the condition of the armle as a whole, it can hardly called prosperity. It might be termed \spotty prosperity.\ Volume Of Auto Sales Indicates High Prosperity ED by the number of automobiles bought this year it would seem that prosperity was running in high gear. Judged by the amount of in- stallment credit in use, we bave plenty of money to spend for the things we want. Judged by retail sales, the same thing is true. And yet, we have millions of unemployed and on government reef. In the midst of pros- perity we have a stock market crash of the intensity of 1929, severe enough in its losses to give prosperity a severe jolt. (Some one has observed that been more severe than in 1929, due to the higher margin re- quirements. That is, <in 1929 stocks could be bought and car- ried on a 20 per cent. margin. The equity of the owner was thin. Withe the new rules in ef- fect there had to be 55 per cent. margin, or a greater equity. So that those who were sold out in 1937 had a larger fin.\ to lose than was the case 1929). Men Of Lower Incomes Also Need Prosperity EAL prosperity will be with us only when every man who is willing to work will have a job and at wages sufficient to give him a proper living. Pros- perity mus' not only come to those who receive dividends and cut coupons, It must come to the man of lower income, the great middle class of whom there are so many. There are communities in the United States where there is no great wealth, or any wealth at all as measured by upper class standards; but there is no poverty. Everybody has enough. When prohibition ended and beer came back, a certain de- partment store looked over the market for the best pretzels. They found them in Pennsyl- vania and made by Dutchmen. Shipments were sold as fast as received. Rush orders were ignored. The store buyer journeyed to the pretzel town and interviewed the makers of pretzels, suggesting that they enlarge their factory and offered to lend them the money. The pretzel men were adamant, say- ing they had all the money they wanted, desired no more busi- ness than they had, and were perfectly content with things as m? were. Here were profits, and here was prosperity. They had enough and asked no more. If all business could be in the same condition we would have enough of profits, but most of all real prosperity. heart A was Child Training By GARRY C. MYERS, PH.D. Don't Tolerate Epithets ERE is a great deal of un- happiness in the world be- cause some people will call others ugly names. Like char- ity, this habit begins at home, and generally while the child is very young; and the mother may be the first object of the tot's attack. Now let me entreat you mothers of little children to be exacting in this matter. When your little child kicks or strikes you or calls you an ugly name, make him immediately sorry for it. Bare his bottom, turn him over your thighs, and give him a smacking he will long re- member. Do likewise when you first hear him call another per- son an ugly name. However, it is always dangerous to slap the child's mouth or to strike him about the head. Deal with this anti-social practice when it first appears and it soon will fade out. But if you let it go on it may be- come a fixed habit destined to bring you much embarrassment and your child much unhappi- ness. Practiced in this bad habit, the child is likely to employ it on the playground when things don't go his way, or when he is teased by other children. You know the consequences-fewer and fewer friends, more and more annoyers. + e o> Older Children Abusive SOME parents write me of the adolescent boy, even gir}, who will curse them or speak abusively to them or other members of the family. If you have an older child who often calls you names or speaks abus- ively to you, immediate rebuke or punishment may not be at all effective; and the older the child the less effective they will be, as a rule, A better way is to keep wholly calm and quiet and wait for a later moment when you can be wholly poised and he can be ready to reason. Then if you are gentle and per- suasive, you might accomplish wonders at leading him to want to strive henceforth to restrain himself and be more consider- ate of you. Generous expres- sion of genuine affection for this child should help a great deal, One gm to lecture the child i tely after he has uttered an abusive word-the very thing one should not do then. We are then and change, sometimes. But the real service of Ludecke's typically teutonic labor is not the new light it gives historical events, but the excellent pictur: . he has drawn of the actors therein. For the first time since all this Ger- man mess came up, this reader feels he knows Hitler as a per- son. The same is true of Roehm, who has heen crucified rather cruelly, if Ludecke is to be be- lieved. And although Ludecke evidently feels he himself has been badly treated, his view- point is curiously detached. Another aspect of the German situation is canvassed with care, sometimes with brilliance, in a shorter book called \Interna- tional Aspects of German Radical Policies,\ to be pub- lished a little later this week by Oscar I. J. Janowsky and Melvin M. Fagen. This will be found to enumerate the rights of man internationally recog- nized, to show how the conduct of Nazi Germany violates these, and that action to be either honest or effective, must come through intercession on an in- ternational scale and not through philanthropic activity. THE LAST STRAW PORTLAND, Ore.-A burglar in E. E. Ullrey's home sat on the davenport and munched Ullrey's roast chicken, wiped greasy fingers on the furniture, emptied a candy box, packed the rest of the meat in it and departed with $100 in valuables. Ulirey found the chicken's neck in a cigarette box. over the tank in military oper- ations, Japan has learned that in China. A cavalry horse is a bet- ter mudder than a tank. Japan is rounding up thousands of horses, on a rising market, and sending them to the front. Eng- land and Germany both are strengthening their cavalry forces. Our own army also is finding more uses for horses and is subsidizing and encouraging horse-breeding throughout the country. All through the west and the middle west there is a brisk new demand for horses and its ex- planation lights up sharply dif- ferences between this country and the rest of the world. There is a reminder here that, in spite of Washington, Wall street, the dust bow!, the $35,000,000,000 debt and all our other goblins and ogres, we still jog along far above the mere subsistence level. Used For Recreation IS foreign horse demand is impelled by subsistence and survival demands - ours, by play, Rodeos, dude ranches and polo are hiking horse prices in this country, There are 125 major rodeos in the country and many hundreds of smaller out- fits. The slump in horse-breed- ing of the last few years had caused a shortage of horses. Now they are getting prices for any tough cayuse which has the makings of a ro- deo. star. There's an odd twist here, in the overlapping of equine and human values,. Nice, tractable, manageable horses are herded off to war, possibly to get them- selves blown up-quite certain- Take Test Before You Hy By DR. LOGAN CLENDENING HIS summer, in Los Angeles, I was in the company of an investment banker (for purely social reasons) and he said, \How would you like to see something new under the sun \ I said I would, so he drave me out to a little factory where I saw the model of a new kind of motor car, It was quite small and had an airplane propeller attached on the back. The owner of one of these cars can leave his garage in the morning, drive through the streets as If in any other motor car until he gets to the flying field. There (and it only takes two minutes) wings are attached to his car and he takes off the ground in this now airplane, goes 500 miles if he wishes, and gets back in time to have his wings removed and motor home for lunch. It is intended to place this amphibian (from the Greek, meaning living a double life) on the market. It will sell for $1,- 500, +0 + % Fiying On Increase O you see the time is not so far off when there may be a good many of us in the air.

The agile little mustangs are ideal for polo, but they need a bit of speed and streamlining. Polo is shoving ahead all around the country, prices are going up and western '- breeders are now beginning to develop the above crossbred. Some dude ranches are produc» ing the same blend, but for the most part they are sticking to the old models. Rodeo scouts are out around the country, just like the baseball scouts, looking for horses uniquely gifted in devil- try. Such a horse is pretty sure to be upped to stardom. Christmas toys are featuring cowboys and horses this year. There is nothing casual or un- premeditated about the “q of the American Toy Managers' association.
