HAS KEPT TOUCH WITH PAST
Old Tarrytown on the Hudson Refuses
TO Become, Part of Modern
Hustle and Bustle.

Safely aloof from the rush and
scramble which typifies Long Island
today lies Tarrytown on the Hudson.
The solidarity and leisurely prosperity
of Tarrytown have kept 1t from being
swept along with the stream of world
ly progress. 1t has tarried.
1t has kept its legends and traditions,
It's landmarks and historic buildings.
II still likes to look at the monument
marking the spot where Andre. the spy,
was captured. It likes to recall with
thrills of local pride 1.-THE Legend of
Sleepy Hollow" until 1t sees again the
headless horseman pursuing the luck
less Ichabod.
There are other specters of which
the locality can boast. notably that of
Andre, also on horseback, who can be
heard at night riding at high speed up
the road on which he was captured. At
the fatal spot the sound Of hoofs
ceases. naturally enough, leaving the
chance nearer to scuttie home with
unseemly haste.
Night is an excellent time to go sight
seeing In Tarrytown. There is the
Sleepy Hollow graveyard, which no Wis
itor would wish to miss, and which has
an additional charm when viewed by
moonlight. There is always the posi-
bility that some illus.l.ious resident of
the place may come forth to take the
air and wander once again to his old
home or to the market place.

Thus, Gilbert K. Chesterton, writ

In an article In American Mag
azinea writer says: "The 'all-around'
man Is, / suppose, the highest type of
human product. because he is able to
meet all kinds Of people on terms of
mutual interest and understanding.
But-well, / guess it is the difference
between tree and a bush. A bush
starts to PUT out branches from the
ground up. It is a pleasant object, a
nice bush is. But it never gets very
far. A tree has one central trunk,
which stands like pillar Of steel
against all the Bullets of storm and
stress. And 1t goes on, up and up
climbing, ever climbing higher. The
branches are fine enough. But they
are not the treei The thing that
stands and gets somewhere, and holds
the whole growth together, is the cen
trail trunk. That, to my mind, is Pur-

THE latest fuel-pronounce it as you
please-suggestion that automobiles
should not run on Sunday had the
effect of saving many gallons OF gaso
line, regardless OF the fact that it cur
tailed the pleasure of many who
could not use any oGher day for their
enjoyment. This suggestion has
brought out a storm of indignation
from all over the country-''east Of the
Mississippi for it must be assumed
that those west of that line do not own
or operate cars. The fuel administrator
having made his suggestion the people
ore coming back with some OF theirs,
the most popular one being that the
case be handled the same way the
sugar question il being delt with aid
that is issue cards allowing owners Of
cars 30 much gasoline per month, to b.
used at the discretion Of the owner,
ell at once, or occasionally. One objec-
ton has been offered to this plan and
that is that it would entail much work
on the part Of the fuel administrator to
discriminate between the different
makes of cars and to make the proper
allotment for Ford in comparison
with q Hudson or Packard or som
other high type. That could easily b,
worked out. The fuel administrators
does not seem to mind trifles of that
sort.

To SAVE Foolish Matorlss.

The officials of the Long Island
railway have begun another years
campaign to try and prevent motorists
from committing suicide by driving In
front of moving trains. Last year the
Long Island had 100 embarrassing
gates smashed by automobile drivers.
1t was favorite game to drive at high
speed into these barriers smash them
and then clear the track just few
feet ahead Of the oncoming train. Mon
days newspapers usually carry long
casualty lists resulting from fooIhardy
motorcar drivers. who celebrate Sum
day by going to eternity instead of
their intended destination. There are
reckless drivers In every state and in
every city Of every state. Indianapo-
lis has its share and sooner or later
they will learn that the game between
the automobile and the locomotive is
an unequal one. The locomotive wins
every time.

WILL the people vote for small
Board OF Freeholders? 1t is to be
hoped they will. 1t only requires at
tendance at the meetings Of the large
body now in existence-and which I'M
der law recently discovered may be
larger-to show that smaller body OF
men could easily transact the business
more to the satisfaction and benefit OF
the county than is now being done.
There is too much confusion and indif-
ference under the present system. Jeal-
ousy prevails in many quarters. and if
one member cannot get what he wants
he plows among his friends to get aid
to prevent somebody else from being
benefited. This was clearly shown in
the defeat Of the attempt to get the
road from Vincent0wn to Earls Cor
ner favorably considered. Regardless
OF the fact that certain road could
not be considered the members OF that
section played dog in the manger and
would not let the other fellows have
what they could get. Under the re-
cent ruling read at the last meeting Of
the Board, it is doubtful if either OF the
roads will be built for long time.
Many times the director of the Board
has been compelled to call for votes
and several measures have been passed
with only one or two votes being cast
in favor, the balance of the members
being indifferent or careless. A small
Board OF Freeholders was in existence
in this county for short time, but il
did good work and it unearthed some
transactions that called <the offenders
to the bar OF justice. Now, when any
thing of that kind happens it is reme-s

How Xessela Sink.


Nearly every class or design Of vessel
is said to sink In a particular way. For
instance. the old-type Of single-bottom
steamer. with few or no bulkheads, al.
most invariably founders on more or
less of an even keel. which means that
they sink level. The case Of modern
vessel. which Is built with numerous
subdivisions. founders with her bow or
stern high out Of water; or with o
heavy list to one side. The bulkheads
prevent the water which enters the
vessel from finding the level, conse-
quently when one particular portion of
the ship Is full Of water. while the re-
mainder Is practically water-tight, that
part which is water-laden sinks first.

NATTER long struggles and knocking
the case back and forth it has at last
been determined that John b. Burtis
il the legal sealer Of weights and meas
ures In this county and Justice Kalisch
has criticised the methods by which
be was ousted from the Office. When
the subject was first acted upon THE
NEWS took the ground that it was a
partisan act of Democratic Board to
get control of an Office. The courts
seem to have thought otherwise and
the opinion just rendered must be
taken as conclusive. While the sub
ject was under discussion Edward L.
Haines continued his work and Mr..
Burtis did not have the necessary
nerve or ambition to equip himself
with the necessary articles with which
to carry on the work, and be just kept
quiet and awaited developments. Now
that he has been handed the office By
the courts he will probably get to work.
The county has saved money in the
transaction, as it is not likely that
Haines will be paid for what he has
done, unless 1t can be shown that he
was the legal occupant OF the office
pending the decision Of the courts, and
it is very certain that Burtis cannot
receive pay for merely holding title
and not doing any work. While the
legal decisions have sustained the ac-
ton of the Democratic Board we still
hold to the opinion that the move had
its birth as partisan measure.
while the Republicans started on the
basis that Burtis could not be pro-
tected by civil service, as he had me-
elected his duties to such an extent
that state officials had to be put
on the work. 30 far as the two men
are concerned it cannot be denied that
Mr.. Haines has made faithful and
efficient officer. while Burtis, has got
to prove his capability. II he does not
move with any more activity than he
has since he was declared elected by
the Democratic Board he will have
long way to 60.
