RIVERHEAD , R Y. =~====== ' !J=j~S=S= _ ¦ £- - - One hundred and seventy-fi ve years is a vener- ¦ ~ - able age in this comparatively new country. Even fe- - on Long Island, which shares with New England £ . many honorable dates and traditions, such an an- m niversary as the hundred and seventy-fifth is one EC which gives pause and causes the forward-looking Wfc -hustler of today to stop a moment , glance back and Kr take note of the accomplishments and the many Wt changes that the passing years have wrought. H£ _ - . On Sunday, August thirtieth , there will be cele- BK brated in the Aquebogue Congregational Church BB^'the anniversary of the first definite movement to BE K establish that church. Sound Avenue and River- ¦ K j head Congregational, churches , daughters of the jBJgparent pioneer , will unite in the services. The ¦ BjfRevercnd Doctor Craven, formerly oi Mattituck JSK _nnd now of Montclair , will deliver the anniversary -SB- address. - ¦ mmk - No one better fitted to make that address could gjg &E hive been chosen. Imbued with a love of th' e old ^ Mpl[ times and customs , speaking with authority of 181- .years of stud y and research along theve lines , and HP jL'partic'jlarl y conversant with church history, Dr. Safe Craven speaks with the fervor of a student and an ||Bfecnthusiast. The members of Aquebogue church , HBSffifevering its honored past , humbly proud of its liBEJport 'hy present and looking forward to future lSK|tears of ri ght-living, service and Christian in- 9«BJluencc , have chosen , a most sympathetic spokes- l^BJ gpjin. ^K ¦ ¦ ^ n Sunday morning, the congratulati ons and llgBKJR best wishes of many churches will flow toward jfi^Bjfijuebogue Congregational Church , and that ^^BB@der , austere spire which through the vicissi- SBBGJes of one hundred and seventy-five years has BBBfl gailingly pointed upward to the Power beyond ISBBBfEtars , will take on a newer , deeper significance. AQUEBOGUE'S ANNIVERSA RY Like a strange , melancholy wail from far off lands and ages comes the brief item of news from Japan , that three Japanese women approachin g what is there regarded as the age of spinstorhood , com- mitted suicide by leaping into the flaming crater of a volcano. They were twenty-five , twenty-four and twenty-three years of age. In America , young women of that ago arc just beginning to feci the full joy of freedom and in- dependence. Thousands of them are earning their own living. Other thousands have only recently completed their education and arc \ looking upon the world as a glorious challenge. Imagine call- ing an American girl of twenty-five a spinster! In 'looks , in actions , In thought and in attractiveness the young woman of twenty-five is more appealing and . happier than the fresher-cheeked but more callow flapper. Naturall y the fact that twenty-five does not here even hint of spinsterhood results from the much more advanced average age of marriage in this country. But tha t is a minor consideration. The ical point is that at no age does the American woman foci that failure to marry is tragic enough to warrant suicide. Granting that the right marriage is the supremo blessing of a happy life , there are many other in- teresting and worth-while . occupations to make a woman ' s life vivid and serviceable. No longer is marriage considered woman ' s supreme ambition and life a total loss without it. No longer is the maiden aunt the unpaid servant of the whole * family connection. On the contrary auntie is quite likely to be the most alert , the most travelled , the best informed member of the clan , Her attitude is likely to be that marriage is fine if the right per- son comes along, but intolerable with the wrong partner and not at all an essential part of a useful , satisfactory career. Such an attitude has come about from various causes , but . most obviousl y from the many and constantly increasing number of economic oppor- tunities for women and from their improved polit- ical status. If there are disadvantages which are entailed in this new feminist viewpoint , as is some- times maintained , there are still more advantages , and that life is much happier today than ever be- fore for the unmarried woman can hardly be dis- puted. , One needs only to consider the Japanese incident to understand why. SPINSTERS Jellyfish , —the aquatic variety, —^-have proved themselves a' discomforting nuisance this summer. The school of them into which Miss Ederle ploughed her way is blamed by her for the nausea which forced her to abandon-the Channel swim. Nearer home , swimmers have asserted that the waters are unusually full of the pests. The groat majority of those who frolic in summer waters do not so readily recover from contact with jellyfish as did the champion swimmer. One good sized pinkish monster equipped with the floating poison- ous stream ers cart wrap itself around human legs and arms , face and neck to the really excruciating suffering of the victim. Swimmers have dived into jelly-fish ' and had their eyes and head so badly stung that hospital treatment was necessary. Th ose who pl ay by and in the-waters have much sea lore to learn. The mere ability to swim is the least of it. How to handle a boat is necessary if one is to extract full measure of enjoymen t out of a sea-shore vacation. How to catch fish sounds easier than it often proves. Then , when all the constructive things are learned there are various pitfalls for the too venturesome and unwary. The significance of clouds and the quick shifts of the wind. Shoals and currents. And , last of all , the unforeseen contact with unpleasan t , - sometimes deadly sea-creatures , of which the most Common abounding in waters neai the shore is the same innocent-appearing, viciously acting jellyfish. JELLYFISH A ne. 'igiitruiiy Ooue method or obtaining aivorcc is the Turkish one of . repeating three times the formula , \I divorce you ,\ and-the thing _ is done. Yet the divorce ' of Mustapha Kemal Pasha from his reputedly beautiful and modern young wife is not delightful at all , but. distinctly disappointing. Kctnal Pasha himself , the first President of the Turkish Republic , is a romantic and forceful figure and both the romance and force were enhanced by the stories of the enlightened attitude which he took toward women , due to the influence of his wife. His marriage , two years.ago , to the educated and wealthy young girl was the signal for more freedom for Turkish women than they had hitherto gained in centuries. They Were \ emancipated. They appeared at banijuets . wit _ h their husbands. They were permitted to go ' abroad * unveiled. \ A new ' era in a new Turkey ivas felt to be dawning. And the young wife shared witrP Kerrfal Pasha the credit of having brought it about. It is reported that the Turkish president divnrced hta wife because she insisted upon having too much voice in his government. It is possible that the reforms concerning women which she advocated caused a revolt among Turkish men and that some pressure was brought to bear upon tho President. However that may bo , the romance is unhappily shattered and the man who was largely instrumental in bringing a defeated Turkish empire out of the war as a triumphant Turkish Republic , and the woman who brought subjected Turkish women into comparative freedom will no longer work together for the modern advancement of their country. iYet, unfortunatel y this last step, oven though its method is simple , is the most modern of all. THE TURKISH DIVORCE The curtain has dropped upon the melodrama of Mary Spas and Mr. Browning. There was hardly enough human interest in the strange semi-trag ic farce to hold the attention of thousands day after day as it did , though it did contain a certain pathos and appeal as well as more sordid elements. One thought recurred frequently during the days when the sensation was at its hei ght. . Why was it that such an advertisement as Mr. Browning ' s should have brought applications from so many thousands of parents , and especially from parents who were not poverty stricken ? What ' is it that .the man of wealth offered which could seem to a father and mother to be of more value than the love and care of real parents ? If all parents want good things for their children and if so many thousands sought to win that adop- tion for their children it indicates what som e people at least regard as \ good gifts. \ Wealth , theatres , autom obiles , gaiety, hundreds of dresses , —these Were the attractions frequently stressed. Are these indeed the good things , more to be desired than work , few pleasures , poor or simple homes and a mother ' s love? • The trouble with that question is that it is . not quite fair. The two sides are such extremes and present such contrasts; no one who is not in the latter situation can reall y judge. It might not be lack of parental affection , but 6n the contrary the most convincing evidence of j it, for a father and mother to give up a child that she might be spared the hardshi ps that they know so well. Yet the pathetic part of it was that the attractions offered by Mr. Browning constituted what to many minds must seem the least worthy of any of the blessings that wealth can give. This , granting that the news- paper accounts of the money, theatres and many dresses , were correct . \ The decision between extreme wealth and ex- treme poverty is , fortunately, one that few parents need make. Yet every day, every parent' does make choices , more or less deliberate , on behalf of the children. The choices differ with the minds , characters and ambitions of the parents. What one parent strives to obtain For his youngsters another one scorns. What are good gifts ? There are many. But , because it is precious , and in such a life as M ary Spas sough t it would be utterly lost , let the poet describe the joy in simple things , which goes so far in making life happy : \You shall not wear velvet Nor sflken broidery ; But brown things , and straight things That leave your body free. \You shall not have playthings That men have wrought for gold; But shells and stones and seaweeds, 'And nuts b y squirrels sold. \Your friends shall be the Tall Wind , The River , and the Tree \ ; - The Sun that laughs and marches , ' * The Swallows, and the Sea. \Your prayers shall be the murmur Of grasses in the rain; The song of wild wood-thrushes, That make God glad again. \And you shall run and wander, And you shall dream and sing Of brave things and . bright things , Beyond the swallow ' s wing. \And you shall envy no man , Nor hurt your heart with sighs. For I will keep you simple , That God may make you wise!\ WiHAT ARE GOOD GIFTS? Assemblyman F. Trubcc Davison has a man-sized job in his appointment as Chairman of the National Crime Commission. It \ is an opportunity for work of world-wide importance \ a \ rfd \ ah\ unequalled chance to make an enviable record for executive ability. ' Whatever consideration may have prompted his appointment , the opportunity is \ plainly there. Mr. Dayison knows the men who are qualified tjo get results . He knows the men who by experience and research can advise with authority. He must if the commission \ is to measure up to all that is hoped for it , make use of the services of thc-s ' e authorities. .. ,, ¦ As a . preliminary step, Mr. Davison annoumes a tabulation of crimes of violence. _, Every^ criminal case m the United States will be listed and - .tudiod in its complete history. It will be a crime nwvey such as has. never * before been undertaken. - Such s survey is probably necessary, but it is interesting to the average man only as a means to an end. It is necessary to finf \ out what the crimes , and why the crimes , but the thing in which the country is main ly interested is how to stop the crimes! No grrfat movement attemp ts any conclusions today, without a comprehensive survey. Many times the survey is all that happens.. Where Mr. Davison ' s great opportunity lies is in the results that the survey may bring forth. THE CRIME COMMISSION Many times T HE C OUNTY R EVIEW has taken note of the planting of a memorial tree , as being one of ' the.finest forms that any token of remembrance could take. Hence it is with a particular warm th of interest that we note the planting of a beautiful English yew tree in memory of Mrs. Mary H. Stackpole. ^ The ceremony of tree planting was conducted at Mrs. Stackpole ' s grave by a group of representa- tive members of the \ Daughters of the Revolution, The tree itself was the g ift of the Executive Board of the National ^Society and speaks eloquently of the esteem in which Mrs. Stackpole was held. \It is always touching wh en tributes are paid to those who are gone and-who in life gave so gen- erously of time and service as did Mrs. Stackpole. She was a member of many societies but those who knew * her , realized that the \ Daughters of the Re- volution and their , work lay closest to her heart. In Suffolk Count y particularly the society owes much to her ynflagg ing zeal and her indomitable -sp irit , -and ibis most fitting 'that this token of affec- tion and appreciation should be given. A MEMORIAL TREE It is unnecessary to comment upon the fact that , after viewing the results in the United States , the Liberal party of England , backed by British in- dustrial leaders , is about to launch a strenuous campaign in faVor of prohibition. If one were to believe all- the current talk about tho- . effects of prohibition , that statement , might seem like rank cynicism. It is commonly, said that lawlessness , crime , wildness and unrestrained drink- ing among- young people have never been so pro- nounced and that they are all partly due to pro- hibition. Even advocates of prohibition have been forced to admit that such conditions exist , however unwillingly they accept the responsibility. And yet , in the face of this much advertised result , how does it happen that 'Britain can consider a campaign for this derided American statute ? Can it be possible that there are other results of prohibition than these unfavorable ones ? That while the wealthy, leisure classes and the naturally lawless classes of the nation are more and more unbridled in their license and blaming it on pro- hibition , the laboring, productive classes are reap- ing the benefits of a policy which protects them from their greatest p itfall and conserves thiir man- hood , their efficiency and their greatest power ? . It is a question that may be worth considering. Britain ' s attitude may shed some light on the sub- ject , for Britain, having observed the effect upon our industrial conditions is about to launch a drive for prohibition. THIS NEEDS NO COMMENT I The State convention of the Amer- ican Legion , to be held in New York City September 10 , 11 and 12 , will be on a national scale , according to State Commander Samuel E. Aronowitz. The various committees in charge of the activities have reported that plans have been completed for taking care of and entertaining of Legionnaires and visitors to the convention. Both the city and state authorities have co-operated in every way possible to insure the greatest success. The cit y of New York ,. in addition to ap- propriating $20 , 000 : for the expenses oi the convention , will broadcast the entire proceedings from station WNYC , provide bands ' for the entire parade of the convention , and turn over two ferryboats to take visiting Legi onnaires up the Hudson -River to visit West 'Point , following the con- vention. In recognition of the un- usual concessions made by the city administration , the American Legion is to give a luncheon to Mayor John F. IHylan .and the members of the Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment at the Hotel Pennsylvania the day preceding the opening of tho con- vention . Qn the same evening Mayor Hylan has invited all the Legion offi- cials and distinguished guests of the convention to be his personal guests at a dinner which he is to give at the Waldorf Hotel. Governor Alfred E. Smith has or- dered that all National Guard units of the metropolitan district should turn out . for the parade. The Distin- guished Guests committee of the city of New York has donated the use of the grandstand and reviewing stand , which will be erected in front of the Public Library at Fifth avenue and 42nd street. The sessions of the convention will be held in the 71st Regiment armory, 34th street and Park avenue , the first session opening at 10 a. m. on the m orning of September 10. Sessions will be held both morning and after- noon during the three days of the convention , except on Friday after- noon , September 11 , when Fifth ave- nue will once more re-echo to the martial tread. Governor Alfred E. Smith has been designated as the re- viewing officer of the parade , and lie will take the review accompanied by his entire military staff. The parade will start from Washington Square , proceed over 8th street and thence north on Fifth avenue to 59th street , where the various divisions will be dismissed. Major General Charles W. Berry, commanding the New York National Guard , will be the grand marshal of the paraVle. . Tho Federal troops and the National Guard outfits will constitute the escort for the 25 , 000 members of the American Legion who arc expected in New York City for . the convention. The. Legion division will be led by State Commander Samuel E. Arono- witz. The larges t post in the sta te , the General Lafayette Police Post , composed of 11 , 000 members of the Police Department of New York City, will form the guard of honor. Commander Aronowitz will have as his staff Past Commanders Ogdcn L. Mills , Russell E. Sard , Wade H. Hayes , Charles G. Blakeslee , William F. Dec- gan , Albert S. Callan and Edward E. Spafford. With the American Legion will: be a large representation froin the American Legion Auxiliary. Following the parade on Friday, there will be a band contest on the Mall in Central Park , in which the visiting bands will all participate. The judges of this will be Dr. Hugo Riesenfcld of the Rivoli-Rialto-Cri- terion theatres , Carl 'Edouarde of the Strand theatre , Lieut. Francis Suth - erland , bandmaster of the lu'rth in- fantry, and Paul Whiteman . Late that afternoon , when the dele- gates and alternates p lan a trip to Coney Island , there will be unveiled in a prominent place on the Island a tablet erected , by the Coney Island Chamber of Commerce to the men of the big p layground who went to war.
