1t Is interesting. In view of the pres
ent movement, to recall the fight that
was made several years ago by some
of the citizens OF Oyster Bay for q
park-a fight that resulted In failure.
but which aroused the interest of Col
onel Roosevelt. who did what he could
at that time to arouse the enthusiasm
Of his fellow townsmen over the
project.
For years the townspeople declined
to take any action to secure the just
rights which few of them had In
frequently enjoyed" wrote Colonel
Roosevelt during the winter OF 1918 In
describing this unsuccessful battle for
the park: Then the selfish miscon-
duct Of one or two property owners
who sought to deny all proper access
to their beaches reused feeling which
manifested itself In a foolish aad vic
lous effort--at one time a mob effort
to destroy the docks and thersby pre-
vent the property owners Of access to
their sailboats. The motive seemed
to be less to secure their OWE rights
than to interfere with those of whom
they were jealous. Recourse to the
law finally settled the right u the
property owners to their docks and
their duty to keep openings IN the
docks so that the clammers and the
rare wayfarers along the beach would
not be interfereI with.
But this did not help those farm
ers or villagers who occasionally wish
ed to come to the beach for bathing
or boating. A few public-spirited per-
sons therefore started a movement for
park, with long stretch of beach.

es and bath houses could be erected.

agreed to furnish half the money If
the town would furnish the other half.
1t was voted on at the next election.
II rode down 10 the polls with
friend, a hired mana good, upright,
working citizen. who lives some
miles away from the water. who owns
small property and Is therefore
small taxpayer. After voting / found
that our two votes had neutrallzed
each other; he voted against the park;
and the park proposition was beaten
by the votes Of the smaller taxpayers
who lived inland and from among
whom the chief benefieiaries Of the
park would have come. (The boldface
Is Colonel Roosevelt's.) These men
had felt vaguely Jealous OF the richer
property owners near the water and
had sympathized with the movement to
interfere with them; but they were not
willing to incur the small expense nee
essary In order to establish such collec-
tive ownership of a portion OF the wa
terfront as would enable them to en-
JOY their rights along Il.

ION the axis of the main approach,
standing out In firm silhouette against
the background of the bay and the dis
tant hills Of Center Island, should be
a great fiagpole with monumental
base, which will be forever reminiscent
OF the colonel's intense love for the
American flag. At the end of the la
COON there should be fountain, and
beyond 1t long approach from the
west between thickly planted native
American shrubs and low-growing
trees; laurel, wild honeysuckle, dog
wood. beech and ash forming dense
dark foliage In contrast to the gravel
walks. the reflection Of the sky in the
lagoon and the bright deep blue OF the
bay ITSELF"
1t has also been suggested to the
Roosevelt Memorial association that
as elms are the most beautiful trees
for the park II would be an excellent
idea to call upon the farmers Of Long
Island and Connecticut to donate spec
linen elm trees TO the association
The site Of the proposed park Is of
great natural beauty. The ensemble
effect would be somewhat similar to
the beautiful park at Versailles, where
the peace conference was held, but It
will be typically American In spirit and
conception. There will be no attempt
on the part Of the architect to Initiate
the Versailles scheme. The proposed
lagoon will look like a diamond set In
green Jade. and. through a fringe of
elm trees the spectator will get a
glimpse of the Roosevelt forum. Over
all win wave the Stars and Stripes
that the colonel loved so well. In ev-
cry way the aim will be to-suggest the
virile personality of the man who was
first. last and all the time an American.

center of the formal scheme. Mr. Lltch-
field suggested that some day the base
might be the fnal resting place of the

Silk and cotton, chamois or wash

gloves that must be often cleaned, and
they are the only practical kinds for
business women, or others who must
wear them every day. Chamoisette--

kind viii help to prevent the color

and also prevent drying In s.reaks,

Cotton and silk gloves may be very
successfully darned. using a glove
darner IN the fingers. Double finger
tips in silk gloves are worth the extra
price they bring. for It is more diff
cult to darn silk gloves than cotton
ones.
How to Care for Kid Gloves.
There are right and wrong ways Of
putting on gloves. The right way
does not injure them; the wrong way
weakens and tears the skin or fabric

Man Who Claims

But Feniblooms Still Hope
He viii Be Found in Time
to Clear Up Case Before
Court Takes Action To-day

The fate Of Bobby Ashe will be de-
cided by Justice Clark in the Appellate
Division Of the Supreme Court to-day.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Feinbloom, who have
made a strenuous legal battle to keep
the youngster in their custody, are still
hoping that Bobby's putative father
will come forward and prevent the JUS
tlce from ordering the return Of the
infant to the New York Nursery and
Children's Hospital.
Since Monday I have not seen or
heard from the man who clasped little
Bobby in his arms in my home and
claimed him as his son." said Mr.. Fein-
bloom in the office Of his attorney.
Daniel W. Blumenthal, yesterday. "The
only word from him was a letter ad-
dressed to Mr.. Blumenthal received
Tuesday,"
The man, apparently a foreigner,
who visited the Feinblooms Monday
and spent the entire evening fondline
and playing with the boy, who he says
Is his son, signed a statement in which
he expressed desire to have Bobby

Mrs. Feinbloom and l are convinced
that the man is Bobbys father" Mr.
Feinbloom said. "The picture of the
mother, which he showed US, his atfec-
ton for the child and his own resem-
blance to the baby proved that"
The two addresses given by the re-
puted father Of the child, 56 East
Twenty-third Street, where he said he
lived just after his marriage, and $40
West 18th Street, his present address,
proved useless in an attempt to locate
him yesterday. The first is the address
of large office building, the other
does not exist. A search of the mar
riage and birth records of the Depart
ment of Health, made at Mr. Blumen-
thaPs request, also brought no results.
