The daughter tried it. She thought she had cleaned up and dusted very carefully and , indeed , she had done the usu-tl things. But how different the room looked when she tried to view it with the critical eyes of an appraising stranger. The ravelled fringe on the rag, —she had grown so accustomed to it , she did not even see it any more. How faded the curtains were l The chairs in their familiar places , —wouldn 't a rearrange- ment look better ? The books were tumbled into t he bookcas e , two pictures slightly askew. She had cle a ned I t , yes , but how many easily remedied (laws a stranger ' s eyes would note , and how de- t ails , unno t i c ed by the accustomed eyes , would eland out In relief to the stranger ' s gaze. * And beside the details , what is the general impression produced by a room? Is it one of confusion , tsivdrirtess , or of p e a ce , comfort and well-being ? Go into \ your town and look about as if you were n stranger! The subject might be indefinitely e rolred. We are proud of Riverhead. It is pros- perous , progressive , with new and coming business blocks , fine residences and an up-to-date school. WhM Impression would a stranger receive, one , for instance , motoring through? In the first place , it must be remembered that for some time the main road east will be closed. nnrl th» motorist inquiring tho road to Mattiruck and points east will probably be directed to New Road running from Roanoke Avenue to Sound Avenue. What will be the stranger ' s impression of Riverhe ad? - A beautiful white marble building, a theatre, banks , thriving, paved Main Street , bi g school house , then—rather new* section , houses going up, could be made attractive , street lined with cans , pajers , refus e , garbage, pails , rubbers , old tires and rags! How small a thing it takes to spoil the whole effect ! Garbage dumping has , perhaps , been stopped. It would not involve BO very much time or money to eradicate the signs of past practices. How much better for the section which is gradually growing oat that way, how much better fo r the>whole town , if, now that we have stopped dumping rubbish by the roadside , we would clean up, or cover up, that which has already been dumped! It is always to be remembered , when writing an editorial that deals with Riverhead conditions , that this is not merely a local paper , but one that serves a large territory. We do not wish to do our wash- ing in public. But lest any other town , reading of these conditions , should 'be tempted to point a finger of scorn and derision at Riverhead , to them we say, — \Walt! Go into your own town as if you wero a stranger. Take a look at your own back streets!\ A TEST OF HOUSEKEEPING The attempted robbery of Hit* Muttituek Bank emphasizes once more a matter that has already received attention in these columns , —that of better policing for country towns. While it is a matter of gratification that burglar-proof safes do indoed prove to be burglar-proof , nevertheless , it is with a shock of apprehension that we realize that banks , business houses , homes may be entered nnd ran- sacked and no one know anything about it , until the thief has made good his escape . Many towns have burglar-alarm systems , many have -watchmen and police. Xone of our towns , especially where banks are situated , are any too well guarded, for the amount of wealth that is there. The suggestion has been made that Riverhead might well designate a police district. When one stops to consider the chance that our presen t force would have at the hands of desperadoes intent on real crime and burglary, one realizes that double or triple the force , with each member responsible for a certain beat , and ' with a regular salary system , instead of the antiquated subscription, is no more than we ought to have. It Is not~ necessary to wait for incorporation for some of the things which our town really needs now. THE WARNING Some ears , feminine ears , have been seen. The event is worthy of comment. The sight is as ' rare as would be a glimpse of the famed woodchuck on groundhog day and probably just , as portentous. For those ears were not sighted in the backwoods where ears and groundhogs ore only to be ex- pected , but in the sophisticated realm of the m- :t**o- polis , —actually on the stage ' and on the person of one dressed in the height of sporting fashion. Neither were they timorous ears , peeking from out their accustomed covering, but valorous ears fully revealed , though perfectly proper , pearly and close-fitting. This can mean but one thing. The return of ears , long heralded , is about to occur. Too bad. Ears at best are not particularly ornamental. They have been concealed so long that their sudden ap- pearance is n sort of shock , focusing attention upon their unco»th structure. It will be a long time before they are again taken for granted. Proud woman must go through a period of feeling- and looking \ all ears , \ before familiarity will once again render th**m PS ** , '> '>'l *»** invisible. Then , too , what will become of all the little carlaps or whatever the scientific , name may. be , for jjie hirsute adornment that wai adjusted so naturall y over the banished members ? Here is an unparalleled opportunity for amateur theatricals. Let directors take this occasion to collect all dis- carded' genuine hair \ ear-laps and they will have fine wi gs , whiskers , sideburns , goatees and all manner of period furniture pertaining to the.face. They-will be forever independent of the. motheaten , rangy specimens provided by the professional cos- tumer , Yes , in spite of the ' wail arising from those who have just ' succeeded in training their hair,down over their ears , something may be gained from this fashion which in this changeable month decrees that ears must come out of doors once more.

Without going over the files , it is recalled that at the time Ramsay McDonald became Premier of Great Britain , an observation was made.in these columns , to the effect that the experiment of a Labor Administration would prosper so long as it steered a middle course, so long as its socialistic tendencies were not too offensively stressed; and that probabl y the Labor Premier would bring an understanding of the unemp loyment and other labor problems to the administration that it had hitherto lacked. It will be remembered that McDonald did prove able to steer such a course , that he was moderate, that he came into a better understanding with France than had prevailed for some time previously. This tact and wisdom on Premier McDonald' s part cannot be laid either to lukewarm conviction or to cowardice , but to common sense. It is an attitude of compromise which the rabid reformer is too apt to decry, but which in the end is found the only way of progress. At a recent conference of the Independent Labor Party ' s Intellectual Group Movement , the former Premier sat for some time listening to severe crit- icisms of his administration. At last 'he made so stinging and effectual a rejply that his critics were completely silenced. \It is not enough , \ said he , \to express SOUTH ideals. You have got to help us provide soum methods for applying these principles. We ^ al favor peace , internationalism and hi gh wages , an< wo were opposed to tho Treaty of Versailles am reparations as being economically unsound. Bui when I go into conference , it ia not to moot such men as we nro in this conference. I meet repreaen- ia Jives of Franc\ , Ital y and other coun tries. If J wore in conference with you , you would push me oh , but thoy push me back. In these international conferences you have got to remember your social- ism and internationalism and then see what is the best you can get out of it. \ Herein Mr. McDonald expresses succinctly the principle which made his government , while it lasted , more successful than was at first thought possible. It is a .principle which could wel l be applied to every sort of conference , argument or difference of opinion. It is not enough to find fault with present conditions or to express high ideals. Practical working plans are what is needed. It is not enough , —indeed, it is worse than useless , to go into conference determined to force ape ' s point of view on others. The world does not pro- gress that way. Conferences are valuable onjy as they give and take , as they bring out all points of view and as they graduall y work ' toward under- standin g and harmony. This is the lesson that Mr , McD o n a ld l ea rned , It Is t he le s son t ha t all m e n must learn who desire to change or better condi- tions. They must be content to make haste slowly, to persuade and to convince , ra ther than to over- power. A LESSON LEARNED Those who are regular reade rs of THE COUNTY R EVIEW will recall that we have repeatedly chanted the song of the Seed Scatterers. \Scatter every year , a packet of perennial seeds by the roadside or in was te places. \ is it possible to imagine the contrast if instead of all that dumping of rubbish along the road , flower seed s h a d been scat te r ed? , Is not here a n idea f or w ome n ' s clubs and garden associations ? A vigorous campaign has been waged against rubbish dump ing; ordinances have been passed to prohibit it; it has to a great extent been stopped , but unsightly spots still remain. Why should such spots not be covered with earth and sown with flower seeds. Imagine the effect if each section should choose masses of certain flowers , — Violas , marigolds , California poppies. Think of your favorite perennial flower and imagine a mass of it in the spot where lies the rubbish heap which most offends you. Do not even let the fact that you may be improving some other person ' s property deter you. Become a Seed Scattercr. WE REPE AT Mr . Henry Ford , who is , despite peace ships, in- telligence tests and ridicule , one of the great men of the times , is not satisfied to turn out a Ford a minute. He has taken a . steamship line and made it pay; a defunct railroad line and made it prosper. He has made the tractor as common a sight in the fields as is Lizzie on the highway. He now aims to produce low-cost airplanes in quantity and he is establishing an airplane service of his own which will operate to connect his \various plants. The Ford joke is perennial. Yet long after the humorous strain has entirel y died out , the effect that Henry Ford has had on the industrial life of the country will stilj be , *i vi gorous reality. ' The airship route to and fro among his manu- facturing plants would be interesting once or twice, but the route which would be a . real boon to travelers subject to mal de mer , . is that • from* the Pacific coast to Honolulu or from the Atlantic coast to Bermuda. ANOTHER FORDLET In one of our large women ' s colleges a vote was recently taken as to the most significant word in the English language. The word receiving the largest number of votes was ''Home/' The next in order were \God\ and \Love. \ There are many straw votes taken for this and that , and occasionally the result does show which way the wind blows. This, surely, is a fair wind. If to the majority, of young women in a college the word which means most is \Home , \ it surely-in- dicates that , contrary to pessimistic u tterances , there are still many good and happy homes extant in our land. \There are no more homes , \ said a recent speaker before a largo iratherin-r in Brooklyn , \bu t lodging places where people eat and sleep. \ ¦ ¦ . \ - .. . A lodging place where one eats and sleeps would never be voted the most significant . word in our language. Hom e indicates far more than that. To those girls away at school , it means mother , father , ' love , care , all the dearness of intimate things , old things that fit body and soul . It means ' brothers , sisters , memories of outgrown games , fun , scraps . All the things that one may do at home , and nowhere else. Outgrown dolls , wornout tools, the corner of the garden that was one ' s very own , rainy days in the garret , the time one was disgraced and mother understood , the day one failed at school and father only comforted. The days , when little brother was so ill. Who can count or measure the things that make up the meaning of home ? Into the very fibre of one ' s being is woven the meaning of home, affection for tho home folks lies deep in every heart. . Strong as steel arc home ties. The young women who matriculate in our col- leges are drawn from north , east , south and west of our country. \They come from large cities and small hamlets; They have much money and very little. But one and all , they are intelli gent and ambitious -and come of intelligent and ambitious families or they would not be in college. The w ord \Jiuiiie , \ then is most significant to g iris from all over this country. There are . still homes , whether rich or poor , whether in \ . city or country which hold their children in firm bonds of love , duty and fond appreciation. Not only for what it indica tes , bu t f o r what it promises , Is tho vote significant. These young women who of all words consider ho'iio th© most meaningful , are not going t-» Ift the homes of our land become obliterated. They are going out to make other homes, to carry int r the homes of the future all that they feel the w«r ! should mean. The light of our land is not the gay splendor of the theatrical districts ; it is not the fierce fires of blast fu rnaces or manufacturi ng plants ; it is not the modern lighting of the myriad paned factory or the headlights of steamship or speeding locomotive or giant airship, Great and triumphant as are t he s e l ig h t s of Am e rican indu s tr i es , they are not the torches of the builders of America. The light of our land is the ligh t that shines through the windows of our homes , gleaming upon the heads of boys and girls nnd fathers and mothers , r ead- ing, talking, singing, Itwgh ' wg, weeping, growing together , —builders of America. HOME it has long been a matter of skeptical commen t to those \in thc know ,\ it is becoming apparent to even the most casual , observer , that the trouble with prohibition ' enforcement 'is tho personnel of tlip prohibition pnforcers. The whole force is honeycombed , with : treachery, from the mild form of . indifference and non-interference , to the active form of'taking money from both sides of the fence. There is too- much money floating around. , The temptation is ' too great for the moral stamina of men- to resist. From \ the- moment booze is anchored off the tweivermile limit till it reaches the consumer , there is- a succession of monied transactions. The man who owns a fast motorboat may not have started to be a rumrrunner; he may be only a fisherman who for years 'has struggled to make ah honest liv- ing! Here ' comes a chance to make thousands. He has . a growing family, perhaps sickness. Can he reaist . -j-especially when all about him others are doing it? : There is the owner or caretaker of shorefront property. Here again , money! So much a ca se for the privilege of landing or storing. There are the men on shore waiting Yor the load. Again money. . So much a case for unloading and storing or packing on trucks. Money for the truck drivers and the. gunmen who go with them. Money for the supposed guardians of the peoplg A I' . O grant safe passage to the trucks. Then to the bootlegger and more money, and last of all to the consumer , conies the case of high priced liquor. This in outline is the money-paved course that leads from that boat anchored out yonder to the gilded tables of the wealthy or to the hi p pocket of the boys who arc sowing thoir wild oats. This is not a story of prohibition , but a story of manhood corrupted. It is no argument either for or against the Eighteenth Amendment; it is simply the statement that men have been seduced from duty to their fcllowmen and from alleg iance to their country, by money. To grow rich breaking the laws is bad enough , but to don the uniform of the service of state or nation and then , for money, to betray that state and nation is treachey, and it matters not whether it be in peace or wa r. , Whether or not prohibition is best for the nation can never be proved OT disproved until it has been actually tried. Prohibition that is not enforced is not prohibition . The proof lies in the field of economics , not of morals . But whatever may be the merits of prohibition there is little question as to ' the status of those who with one hand take money for enforcing the law and with the other , \ take money for hel ping to break it. \ The rumors of . old-time saloons and gambling houses paying weekl y sums to the police for pro - tection could , according to all report , be readily matched in the system of bootlegging. Long Island is revealed to the Federal officers, say tho reports , as the scene of riim-running, boot- legging, liquor storing. The . revelation has been \6fig< delayed. And when the lid is fully off , no occasional example made of some little fellow will suffice to clear the name of the Island. MONEY GETS THEM | Anyone traveling through Long Island last week | could have seen , in various parts , miles and miles j of forest fires , rag ing along through isolated scrub- i oak sections , sometimes creeping up to dwellings , I frequently threatening valuable property, always IrnvHEriiier and destructive. Somehow these fires were started. There have been times when sparks from passing locomotives wo re responsible , but for the fires which burned over so large an area.last week , it is , claimed that carelessness and thoughtlessness are to blame. A match dropped by a thoughtless smoker , a fire too carelessly extinguished b y a camping party, a hrush-hea ' p burned With too little supervision- and too few hel pers when it got beyond control. Those arc the-stories that are told of the origin of last week' s devastating blazes. It seldom happens that forest fires are delib- erately set , but however started the result-is equally disastrous. If the careless smoker , camper or bonfire burner would only atop to think , liu would realize that his carelessness is as great a menace to property and to people as is the most wanton act of a pyromaniae. THE FOREST FIRES * Bad E yesight Many disastrous accidents might have been avoided , if the proper care and attention had been given the eyes. Let us provide your eye glasses and you will avoid much trouble . FRANK H.
