Will Urge $500 Fund to Follow Up Milk Tests Dr. Overton Will Put It Up to Village Health Of Fleer Geonett Says Loca l Raw Milk . . • Not Fit for Babies THAT tho Village of Patchogue ahbuld require a monthly labor- atory test of all milk supplied hero so an to determine its bacterial content nnd pi.a.the public this benefit of a comparison of tho findings with tho fitato legal standard)., nnd that at least $..00 should bo appropriated to thnt end la tho idea of Dr. Frank Overton , secretary of the SnfTolk County Medica l Society which he ex- pect!, to urge on the village boartl to- night. Last fnll -when it wns disclosed that much of the milk served is tlirty and contains vastly move bacteria than the legal allowance , provision was made for scientific tests to be continued at intervals , with equipment at the Southside hospital , Bay Shore , and the village appropriated . 25 as a stnrtcn in that* direction. But neither Village Health Officer W. S. Bennett nor Town Health Officer W. H. Roo pursued the matter and no official tests have been made since the firs t one. Consequently the public hns no way of knowing- .vhether«or not the dealers have effected the cleanups in cows , premises and jnethotls oi handling which physicians say are aU that is necessary to produce standard milk. Strangely, no dealer has seen fit to avail himself of the manifest , oppor- tunity to capitalize this situation by bringing his milk up to highest grade , demanding the laboratory tests even if the health officers neglect them , and telling the public what he has accom- plished. The Advance has offered to publish such information free. Those T. ho were up to or close to standard seem content with what business they have. TTIIS is attributed in some quarters 1 * .. to lethargy! on the part of the public. People , some doctors say, simply will ^. not . take ihe . . . tnul .

Other doctors say that people have ex- hibited a lively interest, as evidenced by frequent requests for advice , but the average person docs not feel cap- able of fighting the matter out with a dairyman. He thinks the public of- ficials ought to do the fighting for him. Dr. Bennett told the, Advance flatly a few days ., ago that he would not (Continued on ' Page 3 , This Section ) By Ruby Dou g las j A MAN who does not live in , Patch- ¦ ¦* \ * ogue was reading The Advance.

It is a remarkable fact arid tells me more of the reason -why the village has grown to what it is than anything else. ¦ ' \Blanking resources aren 't every- thing, \ we parried , just for the sake of argument Inside , we knew he was perfectly right. \Maybe not , everything, \ he ad- mitted. \But they ' are the most im- portant asset a community can have. You may rave over your cultured at- mosphere, your educational advan- tages , your artistic set , your wonder- ful ' scenery and beautiful buildings but how did you get them ? A cul- tured atmosphere won 't live long in. a . sordidly poor environment; seats of learning can 't be built without money ; natural scenery arid beautiful archi- tecture have not become such without financial assistajtoe and your artistic ' set' you crave so earnestly needs a bank; account in the offing to help them in their efforts ' to show their art. And don 't.forget it. That little fact about the banks in Patchogue is a great piece of news to the citizen , to the prospective home-builder or bus- iness man and will do more for the town than counties* blurbs about the rare social atmosphere/of' the place , believe me. \ To bS sure we had to add that the one followed the other artd.there , for the sake of peace in the . neHv year , we let the argument; drop.

AS I SEE IT _ Rumor Factory Closed Is False Says Austin Only Temporary Slackness Be- tween Seasons Raustin Mtuiufacturing Co. Expect a . to Resume Operations on Full Time Ban ' s Soon at Auditorium Plant DUMORS during the past' week that ** the Raustin Manufacturing Com- pany, which has been located In the Auditorium since September ,{had sud- denly left Patchogue were branded as absolutely false and without any foundation by Herbert R. Austin , one of the officers of the concern , yester- day morning. ., - , :3{he __aftQry closed dawn about two weeks ago and since then there have hs ' e ' ii rumors : that the /company had ended its/stay here and that the- ma- chinery . ' and equipment had been moved back to New York under cover of darkness. Mr. Austin said yester- day that the officers hail no inten- tion whatever of removing the plant to /New ' . York , as - they were , entirely satisfied with conditions here , and that furthermore he had signed a lease for the use of the Auditorium for a year with Frank Rurnmel , just previous to the latter ' s untimely, demise Friday, ¦with the provision that the lease can be renewed for an additional two years. ¦ While operations have been sus- pended here for a short time the offi- cers are , busy-taking inventory in their New York offices and showrooms and securing new fabrics and designs for manufacture here , Mr. Austin says. This company, which specializes in high class women ' s sportswear , always keeps well ahead of the season and has practically completed its garments for the coming one and are at present prep_tring to anticipate a, new season. Work will be resumed here very shortly on a full-time basis , and , as was stated in the early fall , the Raustin Manufacturing Company is here to stay, according to Mr. Austin. Some misunderstanding had arisen over the name - of the company. Orig- inally incorporated as the Austin Man- ufacturing Company, it was found that there already was another com- pany by that same name in. the state , so an .R was inserted in the papers , making it the Raustin Manufacturing Company. Frank Rummel Was a Suicide Verdict of Coroner on Lake Man ' s Death Brooding Over l.o.t Wife I' osiiblo Cmtio—Was Prominent und Sup- posedly WolI'lo-Do A VERDICT of suicide because of x * melancholia brought nbout by brooding over the death of his wife on February 1-1 last , wns pronounced by Coroner Ed win 8. Moore of tluy . ^' nore in the case of Frank IJ u inniol , Sr., 111. years old, of Lake l . onkon- .. oimt , who shot anil killed himself with n shotgun in the collar of his homo about 2 o ' clock Friday morn- ing. While Mr. Runiim-l had been in apparently gootl spirits during the past year the loss of ' hia wife is said to have preyed heavily upon his mind and finally resujtod in his act of earl y Friday. His body was discovered by an em- p loyee-of the garage who went to the home later in the morning to earn for the fires. His son, Frnnk . Rummel , Jr. , was - called , and Dr. Guy McLean Rotfn arrived but found the man dead. Dr. Moore was then summoned unil held an inquest that day , and from the testimony given , \vas of the opin- ion thnt suicide had been induced by prolonged melancholia. Mr. Rummel was well known throughout this section in business and sporting circles and for a number of years was in business here previous to conducting a garage at Lake Ron- konkoma. ' He owned all the property fronting on Havens Avenue between Lake Street and West Main Street and erected the Auditorium about 20 years ago which was one of tha first public social and athletic centers in Patch- ogue. All of the indoor athleti c contests and basketball games were held- there for a long time and it was used for boxing matches , dances and moving pictures antl va. l outs entertainments. Mr. Rummel was notctl for his liber- ality and big heartcdness in a number of ways. He was a keen hunter. Only the day before his tragic death lie had been in Patchogu e conferring with his real estate broker and. ' at thatf ti% appfistftd . fo-fe c . in good spir- its. ' \ He was much interested in me- chanical inventions and originated and built the first motorized ice sled in this section. He is said to have tried to , get the Ford Motor Company, pf which he was an agent , to take up the manufacture of such, a sled. He leaves his son , Frank , Jr. , who has been in business with him. The funeral was held Sunday with German Lutheran, church service in Brooklyn and burial there.

Dr. William II. Ross of Brentwood wns rc-elceted president , and the other officers for 1927 will be: Frank H. Corwith of Southampton , first vice- president; Rev. Louis H. Johnston of Patchogue , second vice-president; Mrs. Joseph L. Townsend of Greenport , th ird vice-president; Joh n S. Howe of Riverhead , treasurer; Dr. Frank Over- ton of Patchogue , secretary ; directors —Dr. William A. Baker of Islip; I<\ II. Corwith , Mrs. Edward Downs of Port JefTerson , Mrs. Allan Heath of Orient , the Rev. L. H. Johnston , Dr. Edwin P. Kqlb of Holtsville; Dr. Frank Overton , Dr. W. H. Ross and Frank H. Stovenot of Mount Sinai. Dr. Ross outlined the valuable work done during tho past year and in speaking of the future emphasized need of economy in the expenditures. Advocating the organization of a County Health Board and a program of education Dr. Ross said: \There is now being developed by the County Medical Society a campaign to have the county organize a . County Health Department. The law makes this per- missive and the state will return to the county one-half of the money ap- propriated. \Growing experience in public health work in the county indicates that little or no further advance will occur in preventi on of disease unless there is a better aidrainistration ' 'pc- ganizatioh. The \ only method \' _bttt will do this is a County Health Board under the direction of a well trained public health administrator. This will not do away with town health boards but increase their efficiency. \ Dr. Frank Overton recalled the or- ganization of the . Suffolk'County Tu T berculosis Sanatorium April 25 , 1912 , when the Suffolk County Medical So- ciety met in Southampton for that purpose , and suggested this date as a fitting anniversary to be observed as the'birthday of public health work'in Suffolk county. He . stressed first work along scienti- fic lines which, consists ' of assisting physicians and health officers in com- bating diseases; second, education of people along medical lines , as is be- ing attempted in the news letter of the medical -society. \The purity of milk supplied- is an- other subject in which the association is interested , \ he said , \ and the next step is that of securing a monthly- bacterial count of samples from every dairy. This requires the co-operationt of the several health boards , a well nigh impossible task. Moreover th ere will be much overlapping of authority and duplication of costs. This leads us to what we consider the next step in public health work , establishment of a County Health , Department. \ The treasu rer ' s report showed a balance of $15 , 955.34 and Frank H. Stevenot , - executive secretary, in his report , pointed out several achieve- ments of the organization. A branch has been established at Huntington , a campaign for the eradication of dip- theria through toxin anti-toxin has been conducted , the Shaefer method of artificial respiration has been widely demonstrated , 28 tuberculosis clinics nave been hel d at the Patchogue of- fice, where 156 persons have been ex- amined. §12 , 777 was realized through sale of Christmas seals. Work—Favo P. H. S. Loses To N. Yo Champ s By Close Score Thomas Jefferson Noses Out a 25-22 Win Nip and Tuck Court Contest Tied Time After Time—Visitor* Flash Brilliant Attack in Final Minute * IN a contest that was a genuine heart- f break-er , if ever there was such a thing in .he way of basketball games , Patchogue los t out to the Thomas J efferson high school in the closing minutes of a brilliant and finely play- ed game by the score of 25 to 22 on Friday night. D urin g almost the en- tire game Patchogue had just the smallest j kind of an edge on the cham- pions of the Metropolitan league but this enabled the Red and Black bas- keteers to gradually forge ahead until the start of the fourth period they were leading 20-15. But victory is never assured until the final whistle has blown and the gun lias silenced , he cheering , and vain efforts to, cage a basket in frantic manner as the seconds speed by. Then in the final quarter Thomas Jefferson slowly crept up to Patchogue and then broke the tie but Adams immedi- ately upset things and with just a few minutes t-o go Patchogue was again in the lead. Here Jeffers on used good strategy and put in Glptzer , a tall rangy lad, ideally built for basketball , awl a-true pinch hitter in every sense of the word. He had ibeen taken Out earlier and after a , good rest went in and accounted for two pretty baskets and that ended it. In the preliminary contest ' it took an extra period for the Thomas Jefferson seconds to de- feat the Patchogue high school seconds 25 to 21. The main attraction of the evening kept the people in the stands on their toes every minute and just as last week' s ga me with the alumni was a hip and tuck affair so was Friday ' s game a' nipper and tucker affair than had yet been played by the varsity. The ' visitors presented a . quintet of tall , heavy fellows that could easily pass over tho heads of thej Patchogue iads but height and size meant noth- ing to the local boys for their fighting spirit would overcome anything pre- sented in the; Way of apparent advan- tages on-the part of the other team .

'1-mile course , boating directly to windward each time of the three rounds on the home stretch leg both days. Every trick of the scooter skippers ' slcill wns brought into play both days in this home stretch. On Saturday tho wind was almost due north , and fnirl y strong, while on Sunday it had veered to tho north- west with about the same velocity. On Saturday afternoon William Colson , p iloting Sunshine , twice flashed across the finish line as a win- ner and took first place in both of the afternoon events in a little over 20 minutes. G. M. Clark with his Margie L 2nd took first in both of the Saturday races while Bob Roe came in third in the two Saturday a fternoon events. On Sunday morning seven skippers sent their craft over the ictv in a pri- vate race , in which George Ackerly shot over the finish line with hia Ida A in a little under 20 minutes , closely followed by Kellog Dominy in his Elliod; But Sunday afternoon came the real races when 12 scooters started out in the first event and 16 iii the second. ' Vice Commodore William Colson came in first in 35%. minutes with Kellog Dominy taking second place , 30; Gilbert Clark third , 42%; Charles Droste fourth , 42%. The last race on Sunday was repl ete with many thrills. One after ' another the skippers of the fleet cr af t had -to drop {off their live ballast as they rounded the- stakes , -to jam into the wind on thc final leg. Finishing the first lap the first four craft were less than a half , minute ap^rt and Fred Thurber was among the leaders but he was forced to go around to pick up one of his crew and the wind had died down before he was back in leading position. . . With one lap to go the race develop- ed into a tight one between Ackerly, Dominy, Colson and Clark. Finally Ackerly, showing true . South Bay skipper qualities , got his scooter into the most advantageous position- and flashed over the line in 31 minutes , with Dominy only a quarter of a min- ute behind and Colson ti half minute behind Dominy, and Gil Clark made fourth place in 34 minutes. Mrs. Horn Thinks Attempt to Carry Off Grandson Was in Interest of His Own Father A MOVE on the part of his father ** was the cause of the frustrated kidnapping of littl e Victor Battaglia at the corner of River Avenue and,West Main Street late Thursday afternoon , according to his grandmother , Mrs. William Horn , of Waverly Avenue with whom the lad l ives. She is ' cer* tain that C. L. Battaglia , the boy ' s father , engineered thc attemp ted cap- ture of the little boy for he lias been anxious to gain possession of the son for some time. Only last year he came here and succeeded in getting the boy away, she says , but she later regained possession of him. On Christmas Eve his father made _ long distance telephone call from Detroit , Mrs. Horn says , at which time he inquire d where the boy was going to school and the route he took and ended by saying that he would be out j ..ere in about two weeks and would . ' /ct the boy. The grandparents at once j became apprehensive and saw ' . to it that he was not left alone at their ,: home. The fact that he was pulled : into a car on his way home 'from school seems , to bear out their opin- I ion that the father was engineering j the affair . I Tiie parents of Victor separated a number of years . ago and another ' child is living with its mother , Mrs. J Horn ' s daughter , somewhere in tho \ state but to date the father has been ! unsuccessfu l in locating the whero- ]¦ . .bouts of his wife and the other child , Mrs. Horn says, A private investi- I gation is being made and it is likely J that the case -will be turned over, to ) Constable John E.

Had Big Part in Building Station Hammond Was Engineer at Rocky Point—-Great Strides Made to De- velop Radio Telephony \VV 7HILE everything from congratu- * \ latory messages to financial deals involving millions o£ dollars were be- ing sent and received by radiophone between New York and London last Friday and the country was generally rejoicing over this unusual feat of being able to talk to London with the same ease that a conversation could be carried on locally, few knew that a Patchogue man was in a large way responsible for the pos- sibility of that near-magic being done, , 'fhe man is Fremont Hammond , son of Mrs. Fremon t Hammond , of 160 East Main Street , who personally supervised and inspected much of the construction of the Radio Corporation of Ameri ca ;' station ' at . Rocky Point , from which ' all/ofT.the \ ' * messages ' 'to London are transmitted on a short radio ware path to Wroughton , Eng- land , a distance of 3 , 350 miles. Mr. Hammond was one of the local pioneers in radio exploitation but at the time he became interested ih. it it was known as \ wireless \ for radio had never been heard of then, ' and the only instruments then in use by amateurs were hand-made affairs. But Mr. Hammond was one of the first on the Island , and the first in this sec- tion to become interested in this new field of electrical activity. Not con- tent with {being the first man to have his own wireless set he was also the first to have a wireless set on any boat on the Great Sou th Bay and much at- tention was given to the fact when he installed the first marine set here. Continuing his interest in electrical and mechanical affairs he went ' to Cornell .\_ icre he took the regular four-years libera l arts course and then took anoth er four-yeai* course in elec- trical and mechanical engineering at Cornell. Still keenly interested in wireless, he affiliated with the Radio Corporation , one of the pi oneers in the exploitation of radio , and was one of thse detailed to supervise the con- structi on of one of its grea t com- mercial stations at Rocky Point in 1921. He stayed there until the com- pletion of the station , when European, stations received messages broadcast there. \TTHE Rocky Point station , located * about 20 miles northeast of Patch- ogue , rears a set of steel towers of airy beauty which form a landmark visible from open spots on land , and at*sea , from a great distance , and many people of this section have visit- ed the station. It was established with the idea of making itf a headquarters for sending long distance messages , not only those filed at its own offices , -which are in New York , but from other shorter- range stations. The code messages are put on ordinary surface wires- in New York and converted automatical- ly into, wireless at the station, no keys or operators for general business he- ing maintained there. The main re- ceiving station is ne ar Riverhead , a comparatively small and inconspicuous establishment. When the station was . opened there was little prospect of practical wire - less telephony and the management said that while its plant had possi- bilities in that line it did not con- sider that kind of message a present object of attention. The development of the system during the past year has been done very quietly and; ex- cepting'for a few persons who had ac- cess to the Rocky Point plant or were in the confidence of members of the staff nobody in this vicinity knew of the great development about to be an- nounced. . t „ , t PUBLIC PEDRO |.

Although Blpe Point was net repre- sented , Joseph Usher , manager of that team , gave his assurance that thc players? ' list and payment of dues for his team would be forthcoming and the .Engine Hose Company settled up its financial affairs with the league while the Van Guards submitted their list of players. The Celtics had previ- ously turned in their list of players and paid their obligations. i The matter of players was a sub- ject much discussed for Marran and Emhler were said to have , been dis- satisfied with their affiliati ons with the Van Guards , and Marran is report- ed to have wished to return to the Celtics. On tj\Q other hand the Van Guards refused to release. Marran un- til after the final lists were in on Fri- day night at which , time Manager Myers of the Van Guards is said to have dropped Marran so- that one of the stars of .the league is, now out of the game entirely because of the lack of true sportsmanship and co-opera- tion on the part of-various teams that are supposed to be in the league for purely sports reasons^ The league will be resumed tonight after a three weeks ' , vacation and two gahies will be played on the high school court. In general the lineups will be about the same , except in the case of the Van Guards.
