Europe is bedizzened by Uie spec- tacle ot one who would rise in a blaze of military glory to the position of the autocratic head of a great em- pire In the Middle East. Mussoltul the great Italian dictator whose life plans are based on the tra- ditions ot Alexander the Great , Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonparte, would by means of military .and dlp : lomatic conquest , restore to Eome its ancient prestige as the world' s enpi- lol and make Italy the dominating power of Europe, He Is by constant activity in the capitals of tho Balkan : nations form- ing plots and counter ; plots which keep the Near East in a ferment. Ho has aroused the animosity of Turitey, which sees in his alliance with Greece for offense, a menace to her safety. He ' Is forming alliances with Jugo-Slavia and other mid-Europ- ean and Balkan states , to prevent a union of Germany and Austria in a Pan-Germanic federation for defense against hostile 'invasion. He has cap tivated the Italian peo- lilo by his dazzling program ' of future national greatness . . and ;is Intrenching himself in their affections by Ills great successes in the: diplomatic . field. Oh his return from a recent visit to Uie Italia n province of Tripoli in North Africa, he was greeted as a great con- quering hero. Throngs of thousands gathered about him and amid their plaudits lie ' 'inarched through tho streets ot the cities on ills way to his home. Mussolini has done much' for Italy, Internally, to deserve his popularity. He lias brought about a unity of per- poae and action between, tho rival pol- itical f actions ' of tho country, And has created an efficiency In the political atfnlrs of tho kingdom unknown for generations and has instituted' valu- able budget reforms. He has aided largely In utilizing tho immense water , power of the country, stimulated its manufacturing industries ' and. Us agriculture , Improv- ed Its railroad sys tem and its ntoum- ship service and enlarged , lis domes- tic and foreign commerce. These are some of the benefits that have conio toj ' ltaly from tho concen- tration of power into tho hands of n, single individual , a consummation that scorned to have boon fitted to the needs of the nation at this time. Backward in Its system of popular education and tmtralned In (ho (undo, menial arts of self government, Uio people needed a capable and popular dictator.

A SOCIAL BEEHIVE The opening of the rooms of the Community Center under the manage- ment of the Service League of Hunt- ington Township, Friday night last , was a red lottar event in the annals of our village, it was not merely in the entertainment afforded during the evening, enjoyable as it was , but in that there was demonstrated some of the possibilities of -the newly or- ganized and ' established Community Center in filling a much needed want in the social life of Huntington! for many years to . come. The rooms over the Fi rst National Bank are admirably fitted up for the functions for which they are intended. They afford a veal social center for the residents of the township, young and old , and will tend to create a neighborly atmosphere , one of the most valuable resul ts of the work. The rooms will be open every day in the week in charge of a competent person who will be glad to show visi- tors about and give such information as they may desire. .. Persons coming in from out of town for shopping or other purposes , will find here a very plea&ant rest and reading room , sup- plied with the current periodicals and other literature and a well kept com- fort station provided. For mothers who -wish to leave their children in a safe, pleasant place while tliey do their sho pping and other errands , the rooms will be open Sat- urday afternoons from 1 o ' clock to 6. . ' The children will be entertained and directed in games by. some vol- unteer young women , who will also read or relate , to them stories. A mere nominal charg-e , a nickel an hour will be asked for this service. ' The rooms-are open for Uie use of men who would , like a place where they could meet and consummate some business transaction in privacy. Tliey could be used for the forma- tion and maintenance of classes for inst . ructlp. ri , In.. . the . „ a _ rt „ o^good ^ hnmo making, that , is , cooking, dietetics; drawing, sewing or the like. : ' They will probably also be used for clubs of yourig - persons meeting at regular Intervals , -such as , for Instance a boys ' club, one evening in the week , or a monthly dancing club by a group of young persons under the supervi- sion of older persons , or for married couples or could ' be used for dramatic clubs or reading circles. They have already been rented by the newly organized Republican Club for its meetings ond by the American Legion for several dances. One of the most popular and Important uses of the rooms will bo as n working center for the welfare work of the Service League and for planning of Its various activities. FIRE PROOF ROOFS Tlif large proportion of roof fires that nre taking place all over tho coun- try calls ' attention to tho urgent need of using fireproof material for roofs . At this time of tho year and in tho Fall , when , \vood flros are used In fireplaces there Is g rea t danger of a blaze being started by flying sparks and embers emitted from the ' chim- neys. Nearly all the biK fires In cities and villages whore rows of frame build- ings have boon oxlstinc wore caused by. tho sprout! ot tho blaze from root to roof by means of blazing shingles and cinders driven by the wind. Ono sliuddoni nt tho thought of what would happen worp n flro to get be- yond control In such frame rows as those nt Quoens Village , where several thousand!) of I IOUBOH are constructed with acres of Inflammable shingle room and no flro walls In any part of thin groat nrott of buildings, Not only would thousands of faml ; Una bo mndo I IOHIO I OHS and millions of dollars worth of property bo de- stroyed but thoro In a probability thnt m»ny lives would ho lost In a rnglni; son of flames. There Hhould ho a law passed com- pelling every ono of those loofs in fnimo rows to bo covered with flrn proof material, All now construe- lloiv lit cltloB ami vitiligos iihould bo carefully regulated by tho N™ ««thorl- tlon and flro proof imitorlnl should bo rouulrod for roots.

All this territory lias -since been filled in amd ft great white city of beautiful ' ind ustrial .plants noiv covers the -site. There however Is another eyesore existing along the sides of the railroad that creates anything but a favorable Impression as to the culture and rtA flnement of our residents and. that is the long lines of heaps of rubbish .con- sisting of broken down automobiles, burn t out stoves , discarded wash boil- ers, worn out furniture , bedding, empty tin cans and oili er cast off stuff of many varieties , that have been dumped by careless and untidy per- sons. There are hundreds of cart loads. The dines extend in cer- tain spots all the way ' from Hlcksvllle to Jamaica. The town and city au- thorities ' should begin a ¦cleaning up process at 'tills season ot tho year and see thai, the stuff Is burned or dis- posed of in isoine- other way and that further dumping of the rubbish is pro- hibi ted. Another eyesore is the acres of old and torn newspapers scattered over the fields and la the woods ot certain neglected sections as for Instance ju st east of Syossst and and In other areas. It would pay the town of Oyster Bay to okan up these fields and burn up the litter . Senator James Wadsworth has again shown, himsel f the marplot of the Republican party in this. State. It was mainly through his influence as party leader that the Karle-rhelps liquor referendum bill calling for a vote to test ths sentiment of the citi- zens of . the State on a modification of the Volstead ' Act passed the i As- sembly by 87 to 62 on Monday last. The sentiment in the Assembly was pretty evenly divided until Wads- worth acting. -in the interests of ,, the , liquor crowd, \ whipped wavering Re- publican assemblymen into line for the; 'roferenduut. - -—- ¦ ' ' :¦ • . - ' - ' • -: ' - . • ¦ ' ¦ • -: \ ' ' Wadsworth is a thorough machine man. ¦ . . ' ' He docs not represent the true ideals of the parly. ' ' ' ' : • His course Js all the more repre- hensible because he Is a man who has enjoyed Uie ' benefits of a liberal edu- caUon , and has abundant wealth and every equipment to make himself a real uplifting leader of his party. A vote on tho modification of the prohibition law can accomplish noth- ing. Its only purpose is to stir up a feeling of hostility to the Eighteenth Amendment and thus weaken the re- gpect of -tho peoplo for this law of the United Stales , and add to tho diffi- culties of tho enforcement. The Eighteenth Amendmen t is too firmly Imbedded in the fundamental law of Mm lan d to over he removed. It is backed up *y the big industrial in- tercuts , the more , intelligent labor unions , the churches and the vast ma- jority of llio rel i gious organizations of the land and the wives and moth- ers In tho millions of homes In tho land. Every attack niutlo on it Is an attack on sobriety and every phase of criminal law. Should the wets suc- ceed In making this a political Issue they would split both tho existing lending organizations and bring down tholr Iiotisos above the oars of such lentlnrs as Wadsworth , Governor Smith.

New York avenue should be paved from .curb to curb all tho way from High street to First street in the Station section or it should be mado a one-way street in tho busy hours of morning and evening. In , Kansas City reckless drivers , whether the sons of millionaires or hired chauffeurs , are sent to the work house and in addition to paying fines o^ from ?50 to 4200 in case of accident , are compelled to work at breaking stone at the municipal rock pile from 20 days to 6 months. Where it Is proven that the acci- dent is the result of intoxication tho penalty is the maximum of the above. The crowd there seldom gets lone- some , but it is gradually growing less. The accident that happened'to the Wg suburban car with Its load of wom- en hi Wfist Neck avenue this week , brings once more to the attention of the public the necessity of doing away with the deep open ditches on that much traveled highway. A number of cars have gone over Into the deep ditch on tho easterly side of that thoroughfare and it Is a wonder that more fatalities have not occurred in the locality north of Main street. jf o SIGN OF A STRONG MAN. 'Uncl e Ab , \ in one of his bright apothems given elsewhere in our col- umns , says , \ strong words are no signs of a strong man. \ This is a dart that should enter the brain of some of our big men of busi- ness and those in authority as well as professional men and others. The man that Interjects a swear word about every minute during. his con versation not only puts himself in that relation on a level with the low- est little street gamin , but lowers his self-respect; ¦ . ¦ . ¦ ¦ . ' . . , ' ¦ • • , - - It cheapens him- in the esteem of those about him. None of us can help admiring; the.man , who , under the most provoking or exacting ' cir- cumstances , refrains fro m Imploug ' ex : clamafions. ' \\\ ~ \ '\ ¦ \' ' ¦ •\ - ' . '- -'• • •;, ¦ ¦ ¦ '* ; — ¦ The strongest and most impressive remonstrances or rebukes are those couch ed In the simpl est words. Our Anglo-Saxon vocabulary is not so poor that it ' has to be .strengthened by senseless oaths that display the weak- ness and lack of self control of the utterer. Holy Name Societies should flour- ish In every community. It has been amply demonstrated that an oath tak- en In court on the Bible is a very little more deterrent from falsehood than would bo a simple affirmation such as that permitted to bo given by our Quaker friends. Wa learn from the State Highway Department that work is to begin at once on the resurfacing with conciolo for a. width of 40 feet that section of the Jericho Turnpike from the Queens County lino between Quoemj Village and Uollroso, to Mlnco|a , about 4 1-2 miles. This will exhaust the approp- riation for this year, but It is expect- ed that the. appropriation for the next season ' s work will carry the improv- . monf, to tho center of tho village of Jericho , nearly six miles. Another nix miles, say In 1028 , should carry it to the county lino at Cold Spring Hnrbor, At. that point It would be mot by tho concreted Woodbury avenue road , affording a uplendld concrete drive all the way from Huntington to the Queonnhor- oiigh riridgo. This would help lo boom tho entire north sldo of tho inland hut ns far as Huntington , open- ing up noma of llio moot picturesque drives Jn tho country, WORK TO BEGIN THIS SPRING ON JERICHO TURNPIKE.
