One of the most difficult tasks in anewspaper office is getting the facts re-lative to births, deaths and marriagesin the community. Many people takeit for granted that when a person dies,the editor is familiar with every detailof the life of the deceased and his ac-tivities, when as a fact he knows abso-lutely nothing about him, but he has toget his information from other sources,same as other persons would have to do.It is the same with regard to marriagesor other more or less important happen-ings in the community . In almostevery case the editor has to dig up theparticulars or to satisfy himself and thereaders of his paper with a meager andinaccurate account. The average editorof a country paper has something likea million and a half of things to do andthink about in a week and the patronscan hardly overestimate how much heappreciates any effort they make infurnishing him the facts for newsitems. —Rockville Centre Observer.

HENRY OAKLEY MAKES 13BATHING BEACH OFFER

Henry Oakley, a local real estatedealer who is always looking for thebest interests of Babylon, sends THESIGNAL the following letter, whichspeaks for itself:

Babylon N. Y.j March 12, 1914.Editor THE SIGNAL: v ,V

In reference to the:''article in THESIGNAL, in which it' j is stated thatBabylon village needs a public bathingpavilion , I agree with you and am surethat all the rest of the people in thevillage are in favor of same, but I donot like the proposition of the villagegoing into a proposition that wouldmean an outlay of at least $38,000.

I understand that the proposition putforward is for the village, to take oyera tract of land owjt^tLp ^

*Messrs. Eaton& Dalton, comprising about 12 acres,at the price of $18,00& then fill samein and build the bath houses on the bayfront. i _

I don 't think, that it is necessary forme to state what it wonld cost to re-claim this land and then you must alsoremember after yon had the land re-claimed and houses Jyjilt you wouldhave a long walk from f.tib * trolley tosaid bath houses"; I; think that thepoint that we should lock into is to getsaid houses as near the trolley as ispossible.

We do not need 12 acres of land. Aplot 100x200 feet pn the water is suf-ficient and I am sure same can be got-ten within 400 feet of 'the trolley andthe same being partly ftlled in at pres-ent. With an investment of between$8,000 and $10,000 wa can have as finea pavillion as there is on the Island.

Yours veiy%*aly,Henry Oakley.

I POLITICAL POINTERS

Lost, strayed or stolen . What? Forparticulars please apply to the care-takers of the Eaton recount case. Lat-est wireless is that it was last seenalive in the committee on contestedseats in the Republican caucus cham-ber. Imagine a Bull Mooser asking aRepublican Legislature to seat a Demo-crat! Sounds just like our Brownfriends. They say that's what PercyHousel has been working for at Albanyrecently.

Four dollars per day for inspectorsof election and poll clerks at the Baby-lon village election and six dollars perat the Amityville election. Why?

The committee on vacancies appoint-ed by the Democratic village caucusacted wisely in not allowing partisanpolitics to enter into the municipal elec-tion. —A Babylon paper.

Holy smokes, partisan politics! Nit.But it was a great bit of purely per-sonal perservation politics, we shouldsay. Size them up and note the lifesavers of the great Democracy ofBabylon. Whew!

It looks from the recent postofflceappointments that the Long IslandDemocrats are being done real Brown.

The latest refrain among the mili-tant Democracy of Suffolk is "Where,oh where, has that steering committeeof ten gone?"

New postmasters for Long Island—allBrown appointees—are Herbert W.Rackett, at Greenport; Joseph E.Downs, at Islip; William A. Cochran,at Southold.

It would seem that the only salva-tion for the the anti-Brown Democratsis to join the Republican army. Thatwould about even up the Progressivedesertion of recent date in the ranksof the Reps.

The Huntington Bulletin figures outthat one of the State tickets next fallwill be headed with Col. Roosevelt forgovernor and the "same old Bill" Sul-zer, as lieutenant governor. Gosh, allhemlock, wouldn't that make a riproaring team. Yippee! And, withWhitman on the Republican ticket andGlynn on the Democratic ticket, who-ever won, the people would be sure ofreform, anyway.

The Bulletin's prophecy of a race be-tween Supervisor Rogers and Congress-man Brown for State Committeemanin this district is also interesting. Noneed to inquire which of the two theBulletin would shout for.

how the Increasingly large number otcountry girls who go to the largercities from villages and small townsIn Germany earn their dally bread.The largest number are employed lncotton factories.

ANASTASIA IS GYPSY QUEEMShe Has Just Turned Twenty and la

a Beauty of the FirstWater.

Nikolai, the Gypsy king, Is dead,and his queen , Anastasia, reigns in hisplace in the world that amuses itself,says a St. Petersburg correspondent.For thirty years Nikolai was the heroof the variety and concert stage, ofafter dinner entertainments and pri-vate cabaret shows. He was a com-poser as well as a singer , a virtuosoon tbe guitar and a graceful dancer.His troupe usually consisted of thirtyto forty Gypsies, whose gorgeous co»*tumes were the delight of St. Peters-burg. He himself was always dressedIn red silk with plenty of gold lace,his breast covered with medals , coinsand decorations. He wore a sword anda sabretasche and in the latter hastuffed the paper money, gold and sil-ver thrown at him during his perform-ances.

The Russian Gypsy has a murlcalfield of his own. He doesn 't use thefiddle , but he plays the guitar andsings better than any troubadour o#old.

Anastasia was his third or fourthqueen. She has just turned .wentyand Is a full-fledged Gypsy. She Is abeauty of the first water. AH St.Petersburg calls her diva or queen,but since she attained popularity andwealth she has never appeared In thenational costume. The latest fromParis is hardly good enough for her.She has a high pitched mezzo sopranovoice and makes her hearers laughand cry at will.

And she sits there blazing with dia«monds from the buckles of her satinslippers to the top of her head , hun-dred ruble notes, silver, gold and cop-per fly about her from boxes, stallsand galleries. These volunteer contri-butions she calls her "taxes." At thaend of her act her majesty collect*them :th a broom and woe to thaGypsy ' i dares sneak a single ko-peck, foi Anastasia bas tbe eye of aneagle and Is as auspicious as a Turk.

Sleep.The doctor folk would change the In-

Struction "early to bed and early tarise" to "early to bed and late torise." They have been studying sleepfrom the physiological, the chemicaland biological points of view, and therfind that of the many sacrifices madoto the pursuit of happiness the mostunhappy results come from the sacri-fice of sleep.

The Medical Record says: "We araapt to call Towser and Tabby lazyanimals, but no physiologist doubtothat they live more hyglenically in re-spect to sleep than do their humanmasters or mistresses. It ls declaredthat ln the ¦cities "well-to-do multi-tures live asd die without experienceof the pure delight of unadulteratedmuscle fatigue and of the sudden anddeep sleep that normally follows aday of purely muscular work."

The campaign for gymnasiums, thapreaching about exercise and athlet-ics, the annual summer vacation rush,the vast literature about the simplelife, even the back-to-tlie-soll move-ment, may all have their true sourceln that silent crying of the humeabody for norma] living—a feeling olperfect fitness associated with intensewakefulness, muscular weariness tecompany with the desire for sleap.—¦Toledo Blade.

Japan a Land of Disillusionment.The landing at Yokohama brings a

series of surprises and disillusion-ments; so far from being covered withlacquer , the empire of Japan In dryweather is dusty and in rain Is sur-faced with mud; the tea houses arenot built of porcelain, but of plainwood; the people eat beans and driedflsh when they can get them ; the treeshave bark and leaves; but not all bearcherry blossoms; the numerous moun-tains all slope uphill. Thus the first•hour on shore sweeps away the en-chantments of a lifetime, and revealsa land strikingly like some parts ofAlaska, and a people extremely hu-man.—From "The Obvious Orient," byAlfred Bushnell Hart.
