Tho County Review , Riverhead , N. Y. My dear Mr. Editor: A number of times I have desired to drop the Review a line of apprecia- tion of the excellent editorial* it fre- quently contain*. Th' w time I cannot refrain from doing so. The editorial on the new law in Tennessee against the teaching of evolution was espec- ially good. It censured both the framers of the law and its intolerant opponents. •Personally I consider evolutionism to be one of the best illustrations of St. Paul' s words to the Romans when he writes: \Professing themselves to be wise , they became fools. \ I have recently read up a little on both sides of the question and am really surprised at the utter lack of proofs to sustain the theory of evolution, and I cannot understand why so many educated peop le should swallow the whole thine bait , hook , line , cork , pole and all when it really is as Dr. William Bates , who is described as \ perhaps the most competent-author- it y in his field inJhe whole worjd , '' told the American Association for the Advancement of Science: \It is im- possible for scientists longer to agree with Darwin ' s theory of the origin of species. No exception whatever , .?.-- *~..i.. -., . „.... „,. ....M*.,-,, V.,.. * «.. ., ..- *..-,..... been discovered to verify his genesis of species. \ I continue firmly to believe the Biblical account of the creation as it is _g iven in Genesis. Yet T do not like the action taken in Tennessee , for seemingly they do not want the students to know any- thing at all of the theory of evolution. Although this theory will probably soon be . thrown in the garbage can , th- knowledge of what this theory is belongs to a liberal education. But it should be taught- a3 a theory of some scientists and not as science. Our fundamental Arrieriean law , the cornerstone of our liberty, guarantees to all our citizens full liberty and equality of thought and religion. Therefore the public school s , which are supported by tho taxation of all the people should not be misused to teach a religion held by some , nor ir- religion parading under the excellent name of science which is in reality only an improved theory of some scientists. I want my children in the public school to be taught neither religion nor irreligion . The evolution- ists have undoubtedly misused the public schools to force their opinions upon the public through the public ' s money, and that has given rise to this extreme action. How foolish it is for a man to let tho theories of scientists shake his faith in the Bible is seen from the fact that \ of the eighty the ories which' the French Institute counted ir 1806 as hostile to the Bible not one now stands. '' Even in the short per- iod of one hundred and twenty years all eighty have been discarded. But the account of Moses in Genesis has stood for three thousand and four hundred years and yet none has been able to disprove it. In view of the facts I think none will blame me for sticking to the account of ' Moses , rather than trying to follow the ever changing theories of scientists. Again commending you on your able e 'ditorial , I am , ' Sincerely yours , M. F. KUEGELE (Editor ' s 'Note:—Mr. Kuegele is the pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran church of Riverhead.) Communicated This Is the time when property owners with a worth y sense of pride in the appea rance of their places and with a regard for others are planting trees in yards and along the roadside. So great is the improvement to a highway when trees afford shade and beauty, that In many states , garden clubs , women ' s clubs , civic associations are making the planting of trees along public hi gh- ways , one of their special duties. There are town and highway departments which take great in- terest in roadside planting. In Massachusetts C0 , 000 trees have been planted by the state. Ir other states the counties take the initiative. They plant trees along their most popular highways and make certain ordinances which telephone and elec trie companies must observe. In Pennsylvania for instance , engineers are instructed that \ther is no excuse whatever for any trees being unneces- sarily destroyed or injured, during the progress oi the work. \ . In these- days of concrete highways stretching from one end of the county to the other , it can readil y be imagined how wonderful would be a north to south , Atlantic to Pacific hig hway, bor- derad its whole length with trees characteristic ol the various sections of the country. Palms and pepper trees in California and the Gulf states , magnolias , pecans , palmettoes , cypress , tulip, pep- peiiugu through the Southern states ; oaks , horse chestnuts , catalpas , sycamore , with many ever- greens through the Northern states. Indeed there are long sections of interstate highway s which h-VC ^!r??v1y ht*t*n t>tn« p lanted nr .p lanned. In planning for highway planting, oyerlong stretches of exactly regular planting are 'to be avoided , Stately, though a great row of regularly spaced towering trees may be , it would tend in top great a distance to become monotonous. ' Certain self-evident rules have come to be generally recog- nized. . Groups of trees are better tha n too long an unbroken row. For the most part it is T>etter to have all one sort in a group, all oaks , or lindens or elms , or flowering crab , dogwood or rhododendron for a welcome variety, for variety too< there should be at pschologlcal spots along the highway, open implanted spaces ,, affording sweeping vistas of country. On curves , at the summit of inclines , along rivers , wherever nature has been especially bountiful , there the ideal highways afford an un- interrupted view , and then plunge again into grateful shade. Just now our attention is riveted to the comfort below. All our efforts are concentrated on getting Our concrete roads. In many places the roads jjre already tree bordered. Unfortunatel y too , In many places trees have been taken out for the sake of , & few more feet of tillable soil. The time is rapidly coming when , equipped with concrete roads and comfort below , we will pay more attention to com- fort overhead , for to make an attractive and beau- tiful highway, both are needed. TREE PLANTING TIME Certain remarks of Governor Smith In connection with his vetoing of the Thayer Park bill are illum- inating and lead to a consideration of fifth wheels in general. Fifth wheels may bc innocuous; they may have been advisable at the time they were attached to the -harlot of progress because of unusual needs nnd iemands. In war time , for instance , any number )f bureaus were added to governmental activities vhich now have been , and are still being, eliminated because they have become fifth wheels. They may :ot deter the chariot but they do not help it; they re expensive to maintain and in the interest of economy all cumbersome unnecessary macliinerj lust be removed. In stating his reasons for the veto , Governor jmith told of various officials who would have had , according to the Thayer bill , park duties to per- form and an access to the funds. \The State engineer , who occup ies an office about to be abolished . by constitutional amendment as unnecessary, was put into the bill/' \The State Board of Estimate and Control , an- other board which will ha ve to be abolished under the reorganization amendment and which has no staff for this purpose. \ \The Land Board was put in to approve airland purchases and all appropriations and condemna- tions ; the Land Board also is abolished under the reorganization amendment. \ Withbtit goi-g into the rcsco^ for l>.e abolish- ment of all these offices , the mere fact that there are so many fifth wheels , is enough to give ' the taxpayer pause. . He wonders how many more could be dispensed with just as well as not ; how many other bureaus and officials are spending thousands of dollars in doing work . which could just as well be done in a more simple way by more funda- mentally necessary officials; how much money is being spent doing work that would never be missed. In official reports of this or that officer are con- tained the number of visits made here and there , the number of miles traveled , the pieces of mail sent out. The numbers run well into the thousands and sound vastl y impressive. But What the tax- payers want to know is what was accomplished by those visits? What difference did it make because so many miles were traveled ? How many read all those pieces of mail and what benefit did they derive ? Economy has become the governmental watch- word of the nation and it is the citizen ' s business to know whether these bureaus and officials he is supporting justify their existence by reason of vital work done.

ItOS , at the Vostoffloe at Riverhead , N. T. under an Act of Congress of March, 8 , 187». HARRY LEE : Editor and Proprietor J. HARRY BROWN Asilatant Editor .Circulation thit ittu* 7985 i... . - BnagMma Tne C OUNTY R EVIEW is on sale In New York City at Schultz ' j News stand , 6th Ave. and 42nd St., and 42nd St. entrance of Grand Central Station, \You , yourself , are provocative sometimes , \ the Speaker commented to Lady Astor. \I agree to that , too , \ Lady Astor replied amid laughter. The occasion was one where Lady Astor withdrew a personal remark she had hurled at the Labor member of Parliament , explaining that he had provoked her by referring to \ society women nursing puppy dogs. \ Lady Astor is a unique and picturesque figure. England has sever al outstandin g women in public affairs but none is so frequently in print or so at- tractive to the public as this American born woman. One unique quality she possesses. She has ap- parentl y ~ a joy and a zest in verbal battles. Her quick tongue and biting repartee havo routed more than one heckler. She goes into political fights with all her ardent soul and no amount of mas- culine derision daunts her. Few women , however just their cause or firm their convictions would havo the nerve to stand up to ridicule and heckling. The experience would be innately repulsive to them , it would overwhelm them and they would go down to defeat in a dignified silence. Not so , Lady Astor. She is an aggressive fighter for the causes she sponsors and a vigorous campaigner in a country where , strangely enough , women have done more campaigning than in the United States. More than being unique and picturesque , Lady Astor is a worker. She has accomplished much in England , especially in the interests of women and children. When the final tale of her career has been written it will prove remarkable not only for being spectacular , but for its solid achievement. M ORE THAN PICTURESQUE Not particularly new is the warning, but one that cannot be too frequentl y or emphatically repeated , given by Past County Commander Simmons of the American Legion. \The Legion will succeed as long as it keeps free from politics. \ This was also the idea of Samuel Gompers who so successfully, for many years led the labor forces of the country. It was the tremendous strength of tho labor vote that it was not pledged to any political party but was devoted solely to obtaining legislation fp. v or**M«? to * labor, Tf was n£Ain«r. t.hp convictions of Gompers that the labor brotherhoods did form half an alliance with the La Follette par ty ; an alliance that quite obviously held no one. In a way the two cases are similar. . The legion too is interested in obtaining from Congress and the Veterans ' Bureau all that is best for the legionnaires,) But there is this difference : Other interests are opposed to those of labor , the in- terests of the veterans are Supported b y al m ost everyone. Americans who want whatever is best for the legionnaires are bounded b y no political party or section. Tho Legion relies upon nil Americans for hel p and mir-port Just .is they lmw given to all Americans the supreme service. Hence it is clear that for them it is even more vital than for the labor intr-rests^to steer clear of political entanglements. The Legion too has a far greater mission than that relating to legislation. Their program oi community service is a splendid one and in s,;nc towns , as in Huntington, is making a real ton- tribution to the permanent equipment of ctmmuiiitj life. Here too the Legion to do its greates t good , must be free from politics . Patriotism , honor to those who , have actively 3erved their coantry in war , comvrmnhy pride , — all these high human qualities know no political distinction. These are the qualities that the Legion alms to foster and to serve and they cun best do so by keeping their appeal general and unbiased. It promises well for the success of this potentially powerful organization that its members recognize this truth. GOOD ADVICE . There are times when righteous indignation boils over on the subject of Lame Duck Congresses; filibusters , self-seeking blocs and all other obstacles to prompt legislative action. Then again the spectacle of public opinion stampeded , as the case of the Child Labor Am endment , and in the more local case of Long Island parks , induces the thought that the slower and fewer , tho better , when it comes to new I ajws. . - Eventually, because the people of the nation are fundamentally sound , Child Labor must go. Eventu- ally, because the people of New York and of Long Island are progressive , Long Island will have its parks. In the meantime New York lost an opportunity to show itself a progressive , altru- istic state when it dodged the Child Labor issue. It could so easily have * nken a stand since it would not have effected tho issue and wbuld have cost nothing. In the meantime , the park sjoltfin i3 delayed. In both cases the benefits which would have been wrought by the laws are indefinitely delayed. The park question docs not spell tragedy in its failure; unquestionably the failure of the Child Lflbor Amendment is a serious matter. Nevertheless in both fiascos there is much gained : Public opinion has been stampeded and had its scare and will come back to reason. When the Child Labor Amendment passes , it will be an in- telligent law of the majority of the people; it will not be a minority law. Likewise with parks. Senti ment has been stirred , it will clarify and ^ome back to the main issues . Good lnwg , like truth , will rise again, and it probably is true that in creating a far wider knowledge and interest in those laws , the reactionaries who retard the rising, have their uses. MAKE HASTE SLQWLY This was tho strange advico handed out by a judge to a young husband who had been haled to court for failure to support his wife and baby. '\Stand before the mirror and contort your face into the semblance of a smile. The smile will come naturally after five years or'so-and you will look five years younger and be able to live happily with you r wife. You will be able to get better jobs and wil! become a popular fellow. \ Haven 't we all seen faces that actually had to be contorted in order to smile ? It comes so un- willing l y, a surface eTimace. actually revealing, rather than hiding, the disagreeable spirit behind it. Yet the judge may 'be right , constant smile calisthenics may gradually work their way in , till the spirit and disposition are transformed and the smile the spontaneous expression of them. Certainly the experiment is worth trying, for it is a terrible affliction to go through life with a frozen , forbidding countenance. No matter how y beautiful the features , if they sre not alive , respon- sive , - they can not attract. Just as plain features mny be so transformed by vivid Joy and happiness , that they arc truly beautiful. Naturally no one wishes to cuiUvatu u vucuous • 4tim or go about beaming over nothing. One does not wish to look too simple or \ not quite all there. \ Nevertheless the beautiful face except In very young people , is not one devoid of lines and ex- pression. It must have some character ; It must rniiun something. If it denotes pleasantness , in- .erest in people nnd things , joy in the simple ex- periences of every day, it is the sort of face one likeB to greet nnd to have near. There is so much rudeness in our self-centere d rushing live.i , so much disappointment , bitterness , boredom , jealousy and hatred , —and all of it is revealed in our manners , our speech and our faces. Surely if a smile , like penetrating ointment , can gradually cure the irritation inside , it is well worth applying, and of oil facial appliances it Is the most becoming. \GROW A SMILE. \ Some weeks ago T HE C OUNTY R EVIEW published a letter from Mr. Joseph S. Osborne in regard to incorporation. Mr. Osborne feels that there is some misunderstanding abou t the road question and writes as follows : \Re ferring to an article written by me and published by you in a recent issue of your paper 1 beg to note as follows: \As I understand the relation of an Incorporated Village to the highway tax of the Township, the Village is , of course , responsible for debts incurred by the Town for roads and bridges prior to the Incorporation in the sam e proportion as when debt? were contracted , both as to principal i.nd interest. Also for new brid ges constructed or old ones re- paired in any par * of the Town , whether in Village or outside , the Village would share proportionately. On the other hand for bridges within the Village limits , the whole Town shares the cost. \For new roads built after Incorporation the Village pay? entirely for its own contracts , and the Town for its own roads constructed. For State roads made through a Village after Incorporation I presume the ViHage would have to pay its share. Our State read was contracted * for before our In- corporation , so of course we properly helped to pay for it. We also share in payment of Town Super- intendent' s * salary, —- ' - \From some recent statements in county papers I would infer that the articles published were in- tended to indicate that a Village would continue ' to share the cost of new highways built outside of iue Curpuiule Limuu , within the lownsliip. The wording of the items was- not enti rely clear f rom being so construed , but it would bc incorrect to do SO. . . .. . ... . . _ - . ,..; . .. . ... . INCORPORATION AND ROADS - - . Pictures have become a very necessary part of our lives. When a really good one is produced it is treasured; carefully and the person or institution that finally obtains ' it \for keeps ' ' is considered very fortunate. In time of war each contending party devises various methods by which its aged and modern masterpieces may bo protected from the ruthless hands of the enemy. Good copies of these masterpieces are well worth while. Did you \ ever stop to think how much they hel p in creating the home atmosphere you so love ? What a * pleasure it is to pause in the mad rush of today ' s life and live with the artist occasionally. Possibly you have Millet ' s \AngelUs \ or Watts ' \Sir Galahad. \ So often paints were mixed with prayers and a sermon too great for words was worked out. Again the divine sense of Beauty may have seized the 7 artist and the product was such a landscape as Corot has given us. How that leads us back.to the trips we have enjoyed in God' s out- of-doors! Still again , lovo for animals appeals so strongly that we turn to such canvases as those of Landseer or Bonheur. So we might continue to enumerate the characteristics of the other artists of whom we are fond. A great treat is in store for the picture lovers of Riverhead. On April 29 and 30 and May 1 the teachers , pupils and ladies of the place are to give the Els ' on exhibit of two hundred copies of the world' s . greatest paintings nnd sculptures , which will be open to the public from three to five in the afternoon , afid from seven o ' clock through the evening. In the evenings there will also be dif- ferent entertainments from : various departments of the school. A small admittance fee will be charged , and this will be used for purchasing.pic- tures to adorn the walls of the twenty-one rooms , three offices , auditorium and four corridors which are as yet innocent of mural decorations. We are justly proud of those two school buildings on . Roanoke, avenue. We feel that in them our childre n , those who will take our places in years to come , must have all the influences of refinement and culture that we can throw about them. Furnishing a new school building is like furnish- ing a new . home. Everything we get adds interest , enthusiasm and the realization that that building is our very own. A socia l time, an opportunity to renew acquain- tances with famous pictures and a chance to help beautify the school will be yours on those dates. Do not let tho opportunity go by default. PICTURES One of our Long-Island readers , an enthusiasti c garden-lover , was so much interested in a COUNTY R EVIEW editorial headed \Seed Scu tterers , \ that she used it as the text for a paper before one of her clubs , incorporating part of tho editorial. In some way the article camo to the atte n tion of a Super- visor of San Diego County, California. He in turn was so impressed with tho plan of the \Seed Scattcrers , \ that he had the article copied and sent to every school in San Diego County. Thus from the Atlantic to the Pacific , through the medium of T HE C OUNTY R EVIEW , has gone the message of the \Seed Scattcrers. \ We are g lad to know that we have helped extend this simple plan for beautifying our country and to realize that the seed we helped sow through these columns fell in such fertile soil. The plan , it will be remembered , was originated by a New England woman , Mr3. (Helena Mahoney. Anyone may be a Seed Scatterer by promising to sow along the roadside or in waste places , each ear of his life , a package of perennial flower seeds. \HOW FAR THAT LITTLE CANDLE— \ The board or directors and the gen- eral finance committee of ths Suffolk County Young Woman ' s Christian Association wish to take this oppor- tunity to thank its subscribers for their con tributions to the 1925 budget , and to call attention to the progress of the work. The younger membership of tho Y. W. C. A. is increasing and in 1924 the work was more solidly established in the county. The officers recognize that in some instances the type of work is changing from that of club to project work. For certain groups this is proving the better method of ac- complishing our purpose. At present there are clubs for young women in six villages and three hundred school girls (participating Girl Reserve clubs. Incorporated in f 'l programs is a th ree-fold r.urpose: To associate in Christian fellowship; to develop Chris- tian character and to become a force for Christianity. In 1924 sixteen Suffolk County givls attended the Eastern Community Y; M. C. A. conference at Silver Bay, N. Y., where they took first honors in water sports. A pageant. \The Golden Trail , \ was presented by the eirls last May in the Patchogue theatre , which demonstrated the edu- cational work of the Y. W. C. A.; the widening influence of its ideals , and a growing spirit of fellowship among women ami g irls in Lliu LUUH L>. Coun- cils and conferences within the county have raised the standards of citizen- ship. There is now . active Y. \V , C. A. work in nine diffeienf. communities , and in some instances the activities include girls and women from sur- rounding villages. There are also re- quests for work in other towns , which will be met as soon as adult volunteer eadership i* secured and trained. THE SUFFOLK Y. W . C. A .
