INE FIFTEEN CENTS A GALLON Earmingdale Man H u New Process and Would Buy Islands in the Great South Bay for Plant Louis Enrichi of Parmingdale, in ventor of the process of making gaso line from peat, Was before the Town Board Tuesday with a proposition to lease three islands owned by the town in the south bay, for the purpose of es tablishing a plant for the manufac ture of gasoline. Hi* plan would re sult eventually in the complete erase- * ment of the islands, which are swamp or salt marsh land, by the digging of the peat from the surface to a depth of about 14 feet. Mr. Enricht told the Board that by his process gasoline would be made so that it would sell to the consumer at 15 cents a gallon. The plant would consume 100 tons of peat a day and he would pay the town a royalty of from three to five cents a ton for the peat used. Supervisor Smith questioned the right of the Board to lease the land to be taken away in this manner and thought possibly it would be bet ter to sell it outright, in which case the matter would have to be voted up on by the taxpayers of the town. Mr. Enricht said this would be satisfactory to him, but he wanted quick action, as he desired to have the plant up and manufacturing gasoline by the first of January. It was finally arranged to refer the matter to a committee, composed of Supervisor Smith, Town Clerk Gilbert and Justice of the Peace Jones, to in vestigate and employ counsel if ne cessary, and report at a future meet ing. It wag\ also arranged to give the Board a demonstration of the process at Mr. Enricht’s laboratory in Farm- ingdale next Wednesday.

The care and tenderness bestowed by her upon each individual plant all summer makes the idea of parting with them doubly painful. She fain would house and keep them all, but, as this is prac tically impossible, the only thing left to do is to consider which of the plants would best adapt themselves to the house atmosphere, blossom in the win dow garden and thus minister to her enjoyment during the bleak, dreary winter months. The trailing habit of the beautiful fuchsia makes It one at the best plants we have for window boxes or hanging baskets, as it not only has handsome foliage, but bears a profusion of flow ers also. The flowers are large, long and graceful, the tube and sepals be ing a bright, rosy scarlet and the co rolla a rifli purple. The geraniums are unsurpassed for diture of money.

One or twp of these will suffice, as in the spring they may be slipped for the garden. A beautiful, dainty plant for the hanging basket is oxalis. It also re quires but little care, has attractive foliage and is continually in blood. The flowers are star-shaped and grow in clusters, either pink or yellow. The leaves resemble clover leaves. Sweet alyssum is another pretty plant for the hanging basket;,its small jvhite blossoms, borne in great pro fusion, are delicately fragrant. The basket should be filled with good, rich soil and the seeds sown early in the fall; the basket should be hung in a place not too warm. ■iy>uvardia arc also excellent plants to place in-the window garden.

In time, he said, if the town desired, Jiis company would erase all the islands in the town waterways, giving the town one large bay there, simjjar to the Great South Bay.\ On recommendation of a meeting held recently, the Board appointed J. J. Dixon, Harvey George and Henry C. Albers police commissioners of the Roosevelt police district. For -the lighting district, the following were named: William J. Gillespie, Ray mond Matthews, William F. Pearsall, Henry CT. Albers and Henry Bauer. A communication was received fron. the Long Beach West Civic Associa tion, thanking the Board for the at tention given to the formation of a lighting district there, and declaring that\this is the best town board in the best town in the State of New York.

Miller, Pastor 61 South Grove Street Harvest home services will be ob-. served at the morning service on Sun- j j day, October 10. For the abundant crops which enable us to grace our' tables daily it is only right and proper that we should show acknowledge ment to the Provider and we invite you all to share in this service of scription. Besides these, morning glories, lan- tana, daisies, monthly blooming roses, heliotrope, petunias, nasturtiums, palms and all bulbous plants may be chosen for the window in winter. Perhaps the autumn bulbs do more to extend the season of flowers thru the dreary months of frost, cold and snow than any of the others named. Nature has stored away in these dor mant plants flowers exceedingly bril liant in coloring and sweet in per fume; few of the summer blooming plants give such bountiful and satis factory results for the attention be stowed. The most popular bulbs used are hyacinths, narcissus, tulips, crocus and lilies-of-the-valley. What this class of plants is capable of doing should be well understood, as also the way to get the most from them, bulbs we are not beginning a course of cultivation, as iu the sowing of seeds, which may require months of care. The bulbs inclose already the flowers, which, after remaining but a few weeks in the soil or water, rise upon their stems and unfold. I Hykcinth Hyacinth bulbs may either be placed in the soil or in the water. If the lat ter, set so that the base of the bulbs only will touch the water in the vase. This will be all they ask. Renew the water occasionally, disturbing the roots as little as possible. If soil instead of water be selected, use six-inch pots, good soil and press the bulbs in so that about one-fourth of each will remain uncovered. Water them well, then set in the cellar or in any dark, cobl place for about six weeks, watering them during this pe riod sparingly. Then bring them to the sunny window and wpter the plants daily. The sweet waxen buds will soon appear. All bulbous plants may he treated in this manner. What oth er class of plants can be treated in so off-hand a manner? These are the plants for busy folks, for those de pending upon a window for a garden; for those who wish to gratify their gardening instincts with little expen-1 Foresters of America Nelson Ashdown, Sec.
