Patriotic Citizens
Force L. I. Fight on
Hearst Newspapers

The call for members of the Long
Island Newsdealers' Association to take
up the situation created by the bitter
opposition to Hearst's papers on the
part of their customers was issued yes
! terday, after conference between
Messrs. Hirsch and Landau. The meet
ing will be held in the Standard Hotel.
Jamaica, tomorrow morning
The decision to act, Mr.. Hrsch ex
planned, had been delayed as long as it
was possible for the members to DELAY
with safety to themselves and their
business, and was not taken until

best customers taking his business else

These have not been customers who
leave a few cents each week for news
papers. They have been customers
whose monthly accounts for tobacco
magazines and the various articles a
ncwsdealcr carries run up to and be-
yond $25. 1t is on such as these that
the newsdealers have to depend for
their livelihood, and with these Gus
toners peremptorily closing their ac-
counts and threatening to arrange for
the opening of community stands at
which only loyal papers would be sold
the situation became serious.
The feeling toward Hearst on Long
Island has been running high for a
long time. 1T rose higher and higher
with the departure of more and more
OF the boys OF the various towns for
training camps and cover there" and
it reached its peak when the cabled
lists began to carry the names of those
boys among the dead, the wounded and
the missing. The members of the news
dealers association felt the effects of
this anti-Hearst feeling from the start
On them has fallen the brunt of the
feeling and large actual cash losses.
Mr.. Hlrsch, who lives in Lawrence,
Long Island, believes that such action
as the Long Island dealers contemplate
will be more significant than even the
anti-Hearst strike Of the newsdealers
in New York City.

"Block Party" Yields Friendships
For War Time Gayety Seekers

New York City has seized upon and
developed an old custom to help win
the war-"block parties" Before the
war New York and Brooklyn professed
a mild interest in the homely practise
of roping off q street between two ave-
nues, stringing it with Japanese Ian
terms and adding brass band. lemon
ade, cakes and fortune telling booths
for jovial Outdoor get-together.
Late summer was block party time,
with the streets of Brooklyn the most
fertile field.
Slowly at first, but gradually gaining
headway, the fever became Il city-wide
epidemic ii one street would stage a
party, another would seek to outstrip
it few nights later in attendance, brill
lance and receipts. AS q result neigh
borhoods have become large families.
drawn together, first by common war
interests and later by those of social
character.
Yorkvillc, Harlem, The Bronx, the
West Side and every other side and
section of the city have grasped the
idea eagerly and greedly. On some
nights ride on the Third Avenue ele-
waited is something like a trip through
Coney Island. Brass bands have given
way to jazz bands stationed in various
portions of the long blocks. Perhaps
never in it's history did New York
drink SO mcuh pop and lemonade per
capita as it does at present.
BLOCK parties" are arranged in three
or four days. Some leading spirits in
the block, or mems church or pinochle
clubs or women's auXiliaries gather
subscriptions from the householders,
ranging in amount from 10 to so cents.
Committees are appointed to attend to
the lighting, the music and the refresh
ments. Ovens are red hot in the hours
before the party as home made cakes
and cookies are prepared for block wide
circulation.
The practice of charging 10 cents ad-
mission to the party is frequently ig-
nored. Such was one which converted
the canyoncd East Ninety-sixth Street
between Second and Third avenues
into a deep-set streak of varicolored
light, music and laughter on Saturday
night.

France. says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who have
had enough of war; let the secretly
inclined pro-Germans who think this
war should end without a decision
let them one and all know once and
for all that for the American EXpedi-
tionary Force there is no such word
as Peace with the Huns unbeaten.
The man who talks of peace today,
except through victory, is traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is likened
TO the action of German machine-gun
crews in the Vesle fighting, when they
fought and killed Americans until
they were surrounded, then shouted
"Kamerad."
The mothers of the American sol
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of the Fourth Liberty
Loan is to bring that peace-a just
peace. a righteous peace, an American
peace.

WHITE TEETHeD YANKs

The London Mail gives space TO a
correspondent who writes glowingly
of the teeth Of American soldiers.
"One thing about the American sol
der and sailor must strike English
people when they see these gallant
fighters and that is the soundness and
general Wilderness of their teeth. II is
all the more striking in that il il such
a contrast TO the teeth of the British
people.
From childhood the Yank is taught
to take care OF his teeth. He has tooth
drill twice daily and visits his dentist
at fixeI intervals, say every three or
four months. If by chance tooth does
decay the rot is at once arrested by a
filling. The result of all this is that
our =. s. cousins, besides adding to
their appearance. gain in health by
having good clean teeth, and when
war came Very few men were turned
down by the military authorities for
having d acayed teeth. So daily We see
them, their faces tanned. smilinsly eX-
hibiting perfect sets of teeth. 1t is
a distinctive mark of the American
as distinctive as his uniform or his
slang.
Now, take our own case. Daily you
see young boys and girls with mouths
full of decayed teeth. Fad teeth him
der digestion, and indigestion is the
curse of many a mans life. Mothers
should see to it that their children
use their tooth brushes daily, after
every meal, if possible.
The L. S. soldiers have set us a
splendid example in this matter. They
fairly shame the ordinary Tommy by
the briIliance of their molars, bat they
will DO so no longer, if young English
mothers will only wake up to the fact
that bad teeth cause bad health, and
that doctors and dentists bills will
be saved by the regular use OF the
tooth brush"

TREES FOR FIREWooD.

In cutting firewood for this winters
emergency fuel supply the operation
should be undertaken with the double
purpose of furnishing heat and i'm
proving the farm wood lot at the
same time. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued brief
statement which tells what trees to
leave and what to cut.
II recommends that the trees be
marked for cutting now while the
leaves are on them. even if other
farm work prevents the actual telling
until later, because it is easier to tell
the different kinds by the foliage than
by the bark But the cutting should be
done as soon as possible if the fire
wood is TO be used this winter, so
there will be some time for the wood
to season.
In Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and south
east Missouri save: yellow poplar,
walnut. red gum, white oak, red oak,
cottonwood. hickory, white ash, hard
maple and Eastwood.
In these states the trees to be cut
from the farm wood lot for frewood
are black oak. red elm, beech and red
maple.
