FREEPORT, N. Y., FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1918 — =i= ' ’ i- order that the direction! of the Administrator with reference to “Fireless Mondays'’ may be thor- wghly understood, I beg leave to gate through the columns of your pa per that my instructions direct from <L C. Adams, Commissioner of the South Shore District, are as follows: 1 Places in which it is forbidden to lave heat, except sufficient for the purpose of keeping pipes from freez ing or preserving stock from destruc- tfon by cold, may, nevertheless, 're main open for business if the heat maintained is sufficient only for either both such purposes. I am informed by Commissioner Adams, at the time of writing, that le has received word (unofficially as pet) that barber shops and places for fee sale of food may remain open and leated all day., With reference to the coal situa tion: The village is prepared, when aecessary, to furnish a reasonable amount of coal in small lots. How ever, my positive instructions are to deliver no coal whatsoever from such, supplies until every coal dea'er in the ! s place has exhausted his supply. The coal situation here seems to- be in excellent shape considering the general shortage. In consideration for others and as \1 matter of ordinary patriotism, no •ne who has anything like a reason able supply of coal will apply for aiore. I believe the people of this vil lage generally understand and recog- aize the situation and this, no doubt, together with the efforts of the local dealers to supply coal fairly, has en abled Freeport to maintain a sound Sooting. Very tru'y yours, Sidney H. Swezey. (Official Figures for Shndy Hook) Friday, Jan. 26 6:67 A. M. Seturday, 26 7:39 A.M. Sunday 27 8.17 A. M. Monday 28 8:52 A.M. Tuesday 29 9:25 A. M.

Weekly Weather Report (For our readers in other localities) Friday, January 18, e’ear In a. m.; enow, covering ground, in*p. m.; snowed again during night. Saturday, snowed lightly till about 1& o’clock, cleared off nice at noon; ground covered, about one inch. Sunday, clear, cold, thermometer around 10. „. Monday, same. Tuesday, snow began early in the morning and continued till about 4 in the afternoon; several inches fell; cleared off colder. Wednesday, clear and cold; good Thursday, same. The Holiday in Freeport Without any flare of trumpets or nglfing about observing the law, Freeport business men almost unani- ipously observed the orders of the Fuel Commission for c’osing on Mon- A y to censerve coal, and the factories and shop* for the entire five dXys. A trip through the village Monday af ternoon showed only the several chain grocery stores, de'icatessen, drug stores and one nr two other small stores open. At night the street, so far as the stores were concsmed, was darker than it had been before in 20 years, fcardiy a light being visible excepting In the drug stores, and laundries and grocery store on Brooklyn Avenue. Freeport Club~Will Have —less Dinner A special meeting of the Freeport Club was held Thursday evening to consider several matters of policy of the Club. After a lengthy discussion in which It seemed to be the general sentiment that while the times required econo mizing, they should not permit the cessation of all social affairs, it was decided to hold the annual dinner as usual this year, but to make it as near meatless and wheatless as possible. A menu of oyster stews and baked beans seemed to meet With favor, and the members of the Club to do their own serving. The offer of Supervisor Hitam R. Smith, a member of the Board of Directors, to serve as head waiter was accepted, and he waa des ignated as head waiter. President Elvin N. Edwards was Escapes from Window As Room Bums Awakened byythe Are and smoke in the bedroom in his home pver the tailor shop of George Helm, on West Merrick Road, Friday night aqd thinking e:cape by the stairway cut off, Peter Smith, employed at the Ar cade Pharmacy on Railroad Avenue, jumped from the second story win dow to the ground below in his night clothing, and waa severely cut In so doing. Officer Peter Elar attempted to and did break hia fall considerably, and was somewhat bruised himself, but able to stay on duty. “Peter,” as he is best known, was taken into the Central Hotel next door, where his cuts were attended to, and clothing secured. The fire department had answered the a’arm in the meantime, and taken another colored man from the window, and, after a few minutes of hard work had the fire under con trol with chemicals, no-water' being used. The building ie owned by Jacob Post, is entirely frame, and occupied by several business houses on the ground floor, and had the fire gotten a bad start, or the firemen not han dled it so well, a bad fire and much damage must have resulted. The damage in the flats will probably amount to about $160, partly cov ered by insurance, and in the tailor shop downstairs, where the chemicals had gone through the floor, Mr. Helm places his loss at about $350, covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. Unclaimed Letters (Freeport Poet Office) Arlington, Mr. Paul. Bayview Ave. Brown, Mrs. Howard Blatt, Mr. Harry Crystal Theatre * Duggan, Mrs. Thoa. J.

The 1918 Farm Census The Farm Census, which was tak en last Spring, through the co-oper ation of echool superintendent:!, chool principals and school children, was found to be of such immediate value to the public aathorities that a similar census is to be taken thia year under the direction of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture and the State Food Commission.

Explains Political Status of Women So many inquiries have been di rected to County Clerk Thomas S. Cheshire in charge of the County Naturalization Bureau, since the fav orable action of the voters on the suffrage amendment, regarding the political status of women, that he has had prepared a letter which clearly defines the provisions of law appli cable to such cases. The letter as made up follows: Act of March 2, 1917. “Section 3. That any American women who mar ries a foreigner shall take the nation ality of her husband. At the termin ation of ths marital relation she may resume her American citizenship, if abroad, by registering as an Ameri can citizen within one year with a consul of the United States, or by re turning to reside in the United States, or, if residing in the United States at the termination of the marital rela tion, by continuing to reside therein.\ Section 1994, United States Re vised Statutes. “Any woman who is now or may hereafter be married to citizen of the United States, and who might herself be lawfully nat uralized, shall be deemed a citizen.\ Act of March 2, 1907. “Section 4. That any foreign woman who ac quires American citizenship by mar riage to an American shall be as sumed to retain the same after the termination of the marital relation if having jurisdiction to naturalize she continue to reside in the United States, unless she makes formal re nunciation thereof before a court aliens, or if ahe resides abroad she may retain her citizenship by register ing as such before a United States consul within one year after the termination of each marital relation.\ It may also be stated that it has been julicially held that ^a woman during the existence of the martial relation cannot become naturalized.

The letter follows: January 8, 1918. Dear Red Cross Workers:— Your package containing muffiers, etc., arrived safely and when we re ceived your Red Crosa remembrance it filled us with joy. You will never realize how a Red Crosa package cheers a man in uniform. It ia not always the presents that make onr hearts g’ad, but it is the fact that someone way back home remembered us. We so’diers from home take new courage when we know that some of the folks back home are following us with their thoughts and prayers. I suppose we will never come back un til the battle of freedom has been won for our mothers, fathers, aiatera, sweethearts and brothers. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for youi kind remembrance, Yours veiy .sincerely, „ Two Brothers. We have not given their names—> one is at Spartanburg and the other at Ellington Field, Houaton, Texas. The Red Crosa Auxiliary held its all-day tession on Monday with the luncheon at noon. There wae a very 'arge attendance all day and quite a number of our new members partook of the excellent luncheon served by the committee in charge, which netted quite a goodly sum. There was also a considerable lot of work accom plished; also a committee of ladies are doing some of the cutting of garments. A great deal of worsted work has also been turned out and we have expend ed $74.65 for worsted since August 7. Thia money waa raised by the concert given several month* ago in the Par ish House. A business meeting was held at 4 o’clock and several sugges tions were made how to rale# mere money (which is always • very ne cessary article). Finally one wee adopted whereby two gaptalne were appointed, Mra. Rhode E. Jackson and Mra. William Webster, who win sub divide the members into rmwlttoee and each do their bit towards earning some money. We hope there will he so much competition among eer mem bers that we shall raise a large amount.
