- I »ACT FOR BONDS , VISORS ADOPT »• • \ ^ i - - . . .. Beach Bridge Becewmg A —Petition For Road* ' AoMa! BahkTaz Lgried An set, authorizing the issuance of $976,000 worth of bounty bonds for the construction of the new Long Beach bridge, was adopted by the Board of Supervisors at the regular meeting Monday morning. The advertising for or the sale of the bonds was also authorized. Bids will be opened on November 10 at 12:30 p. m. by the County Comptroller. The Board also approved the pre Uminary plans, which must be submit War n#mnptment. for th< W tod to the War Department, for the proposed new Bayville bridge. A report was received from the com mittee on county treasurer and adopt ed, in reference to a letter received from County Treasurer William E. Luyster, regarding his inability to ob tain a sufficient number of clerks to do the work in the treasurer’s office. The letter points out that he has nine clerks, whereas his predecessor had sixteen, and states that the work_ is getting behind. He has been unable to appoint more clerks to fill vacan cies, because of the absence of an el igible civil service list. Out of twen ty names on the old list, he had been ..able to induce but two to accept ap pointments. The committee advised against overtime work and recom mended that the two who would accept be appointed and the Civil Service Commission be asked to provide for temporary appointments to help out until the rush is over. Want Roads Fixed A petition was received from a num ber of citizens of Rockville Centre, praying that certain roads in Rock- svstc— . Village avenue, commencing where the county road now ends, and run ning northerly to DeMott avenue, and thence along DeMott avenue, to Hemp stead avenue, connecting two county highways. Plans of the road were ordered prepared,a step necessary be fore incorporating a road in the coun ty system. , Banks Taxed The Board of Supervisors this week levied the annual tax on the capital stock, surplus and undivided profits of the various banks of the county, in pursuance of the provisions of Sec tion 24 of the tax law.

The appointment was approved by the Board of Supervisors at Monday’s meetihg. ------------- f TIMELY TALKS ON FINANCIAL TOPICS William H. Kniffin, Jr. OF ROCK VILLE CENTRE . Expert O* Banking and Instructor On Bankidg in New (York University Saving Money By die Victrola Rule The man who finds it impossible to save money, and gives as a reason the fact that he has none to save, often ac cumulates value by a process. That might well be applied to money. In other words, if he were to put what he spends on any one hobby into the bank instead of into the hobby, he would have real value for his work, and not a passing pleasure. Take the case of the man who buys a phonograph or a player piano. Once he gets the .flabit, he becomes a steady buyer of rtteords or rolls of music. The man who earns twenty dollars a week (a sum too small to conceive as a wage these days, but good for illustration purposes only) and has the record hab it, will, in a short time, accumulate a hundred dollars’ yvorth of records. If the proposition were to be put up to him to save a hundred dollars he would set up the high'cost of living as an ex cuse or reason why it could not be done. But whenever a record takes his fancy he buys it. And if he would save money as consistently as he adds to his collection of black discs, he would get somewhere financially. I have seen a man raise two children, uy a phonograph and accumulate hun dreds of records on nine dollars a week; but he never could save any money. A certain father in Rockville Centre . . _ . A .. , has two children, a boy and a girl, ville Centre be taken into the county y ke moat fathers, he is indigent. He stem. The roads included are North to p]eage the little ones by bring- 6y ing home toys and games. Th» .boy approached him one day and said: “Father, if you don’t mind, you can give me the money and keep the toys.” The result is, a bank account of fifty dollars' in the boy’s name, all created by the gentle art of saving money in stead of buying things. Many people have found it advisa ble to adopt some freak system of sav ing, hoping by that means to get the habit as well as the money. Some save coins with certain dates. Others deposit in a home bank the nickles and pennies they find in their pockets ev ery night. Some save the new bills. One man went so far as to take his check book and make out every tenth check to the bank for ten dollars, and when he came to that check it was put in the savings account. Some people carry pocket banks, and every time they save a few cents that they were tempted to spend, it goes into the bank. It is surprising how fast these little savings accumulate. A scrub woman in Brooklyn went to a savings bank some years ago and got a home bank. She said she was getting old and had no funds for sickness or burial ex penses. She said she was going to save a hundred dollars the first year, two dollars a week. When the year was up she had, not a hundred, but three hundred to her credit; and for the first time, she found that she real ly could accumulate money. As a matter of fact, anyone can save who makes up his mind to do so. The men who are always broke are the fel lows who are good spenders. And the are goo; term “good” here means reckless, thoughtless and dribbling spenders, who buy what they want when they g' thoughtliless and dribbling spenders, want it, and that is most of the time, I am more impressed as time goes on with the fact that the man who has enough is the better off than the man who craves too much; for in his anxi ety to get the last dollar he often loses all. In the silk crash a few months ago, a certain New Yorker went to the wall for a million and a quarter. I asked his lawyer whether it was bad judgment, or business inability; or greed, and he confessed that it was the grasping for the last hundred thousand profits that broke the magic chain, and today as an old man he faces the world penniless. The saving habit, as here suggested, leads to enough. It makes no million aires, but it makes no paupers. It buys no Rolls-Royces, but it does buy Fords. It buys no summers at the expensive hotels, but it does buy comforts at home. It buys no space in “Who’s Who in New York/’ but it does buy space in “Among Those Who Arriv ed.” It buys no silk shirts at fifteen, but it does buy plenty of madras at four. It builds no memorial libraries, but it builds substantial cities. It en dows no colleges, but it does send the boys to college. It buys no titles for the daughter, but it makes her very much of an American woman. The man who Would acquire riches at one fell swoop, often gets one fell swoop, but the fellow who seeks to ac quire a competence as a builder builds a brick wall, one brick at a time, will build a bigger and safer wall than he who would create it by some magic process. We hear much of those who got rich in the war. We hear little of those who got poor. But of those who just saved, sawed wood, and made hay while the sun shone, there is a vast army, whose money is in the savings banks and stocks and bonds, where it goes on working for them as they worked for it. The most remarkable thing about money is, it grows if you plant it in the right place. ------------- 4 ------------- FACTS FOR LEGIONAIRES The British Great War Veterans of America has a membership of 20,000 throughout the United States. Moving pictures have been adopted by the War Department in vocational schools as part of the occupational training. Of the thousands of war trophies brought from the battlefields of France tanks and German field pieces, weigh ing from one ton to ten, recently have been given to the.cities of Chicago, St. Louis, Chattanooga, while others were sent as far away as Texas. The United States had eight towns and cities named “Berlin” in 1914, and not one of them now appears in the postal guide. J TO VOTE ON STATE BONUS Election Dey Will Decide Issue of Importance to Ea-Serrice Men of New York Hie question of whether New York State soldiers who fought in the World War will receive a bonus will be de cided at the election on November 2. When the voters go to the polls they will be handed, in addition to the regular ballot containing the names of the candidates, an extra ballot which is always used to set forth prop ositions or constitutional amendments submitted for referendum. This bal lot will have on it the proposition of whether a $46,000,000 bond issue shall be authorized for the purpose of pay ing bonuses to ex-service men. There will be two little squares opposite it. Over one will be the word “Yes,” ov er the other “No.” The voter will put a cross mark in the square under the word that expresses his sentiments on the question. The bond issue referendum bill was passed at the last session of the Leg islature, and if the.issue is authorized it means that all service men below the grade of captain in the Army and lieutenant senior grade, in the Navy, will receive a bonus of $10- a month for every month in service, except that in no case will the total bonus exceed $260. A constitutional amendment is also to be submitted which seeks to give the State power to borrow on short term notes in anticipation of taxes. Gioletti, the Premier of Italy, faces tremendous prob lems of state. , The protyem we have solved is to give our custom ers thorough satisfaction. Have you a paint problem to solve?

TOYS FOR GROWN-UPS “Every boys in the world has played with boats,” says Armstrong Perry in an article in the June number of Boys’ Life.” First it is the chip thrown into the flooded gutter after the thunderstorm. Then the raft, surreptitiously built out of driftwood on the nearby stream. Only two boards and two cleats, may be, but imagination gives it engines, smokestacks ’n everything—until we step on it and it sinks! “By and by it's a punt, carpentered with a little of dad’s assistance out in the barn. The canvas canoe follows— and spills us into the pool below the dam. k “Some boys grow up and join the | navy and some let the boat craze just drift back into the realm of old, sweet memories, but in little old New York there is a bunch of country boys who still play with water craft. “Any Saturday, Sunday or holiday you can find them at the likes in Proa- f pect Park or Central Park—youngsters with gray top-knota or just skin on top of their heads—wet from the soles of their feet to the seats of their pants just as they used to be before they i came to the eity and became .famous engineers and things. _ “Some play with sail boats, which hey make with their own hands.
