CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
"Man" is the subject of the Lesson-
Sermon in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, September 5.
The Golden Text is: "God created
man in his own image, in the image
^f God created he him; male and female
created he them." (Gen. 1:27).
Among the citations which comprise
the Lesson-Sermon is the following
from the B hie: "Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in
heaven Is perfect." (Matthew 5:48).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following correlative selection from
the textbook of Christian Science.
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy:
"The Chr.stllke understanding of scientific
being and divine healing includes
a perfect Principle and idea.—
perfect God and perfect man,—as the
basis of thought and demonstration.
If man was once perfect but has now
lost his perfection, then mortals have
never beheld in man the reflex mage
of God. The lost image is no image.
The true likeness cannot be lost in
divine, reflection. Understanding this,
Jesus said: 'Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is n heaven
is perfect.' " (page 259).

to follow is: the heavier the material

St. Lawrence Victor
Over Millwood, Sun, 1-0
Brilliant pitching by Ralph Pox gave
the St. Lawrence A. C. of Brewster a
1-0 victory over the strong Millwood
A. C. on the Electrozone Piled at
Brewster last Sunday.
Only one scratch hit In the second
and a misjudged fly In the ninth preven'.ed
Pox from recording a no hit
game. At least one of the Westchesterltes
fell a victim of Fox's slants In
each Inning except the fourth, while
two fanned in the third, sixth, seventh
and eighth. In all Pox struck out 12
batsmen.
The locals scored the lone tally of
the game In the first. Brady opened
with a single, Blanco bunted and
reached first safely, Brady pulling up
at second. Fox forced Blanco at second
and Brady moved to third. On
the first pitch to Tuttle Fox started
for second. When the catcher pegged
to second, Brady beat Roosa's return
throw to the plate.
Next Sunday Fox will be on the
mound for the Brewster nine when it
will meet a strong opponent In the
Pawling A. C. on the Brewster diamond
at 3 p. m.

Angel Food Isn't Easy To
Make, But It Is Worth
Mastering
sBy SIDNEY SNOW5 szsz=ss2HHffi; ^ s2ss 2S2Si5
SOME people have a natural, lucky "knack" and torn out grand
angel food. Others find it a most aggravating 1 undertaking and
• have disappointing results. There is no use minimizing the
difficulty of producing great angel cake. However, it is such a delightful
cake and always so popular when it turns out well that it is worth
keeping at it. And often practice is the one real answer to good,
angel cake.
Of course, a good recipe is of prime importance and the following
may well be pasted in the recipe book, because it has been proven over
and over again to be of outstanding merit.
ANGEL FOOD CAKE
The Ingredients:—
1 eup sifted cake flour—get 1
the best on the market l l teaspoon cream of tartar ,
A cups sifted granulated
and better yet, sift twice
sugar
teaspoon pure vanilla
1 cup egg whites *A teaspoon extract of almond
VA teaspoon salt */4
Don't "cut corners" with the ingredients and stick to this Method:
.... Sift the flour twice. Then measure it exactly. Then sift it four
more times. Now beat the egg whites and the salt with a wire whisk.
When this is foamy, add the cream of tartar and keep on beating until
the egg is stiff enough to hold its peaks—but do not beat it dry. Now
fold in the sugar very carefully, two tablespoons at a time, until all is
used. Then fold in the flavoring which has been mixed. Now take the
flour and Sift it a little at a time over this mixture and fold it in after
each sifting.* Keep on sifting and folding until all is used up. Now
take an Ungreased angel food pan and pour the batter into it Bake
it in an oven which has been heated to 276 degrees—baking for thirty
minutes longer counting from the moment the thermometer shows 325
degrees. Remove from oven. Invert the pan for one hour—until cold.

WESTCHESER TO WAR
ON SEX CRIMES
(Continued from Page 1)
dent, did not result In physical violence.
Although the New Rochelle committee
has not ye: been completed, because
of vacations which have taken
many prominent residents out of town,
a large group of men and women leaders
in the city today vigorously expressed
their intention of doing all in
their power, through the committee
on which they will serve, to rid their
community and their neighbors' communities
of the dangers made so obvious
by the constantly increasing sex
offenses against children in Westchester.
Every person on the committee has
expressed practically the same reaction
to this movement. It is, of course,
the reaction of any decent c.tizen,
whether or not he or she is a parent—
and most of these men and women
have children of their own, to give
them additional motive for bringing
about a state of law and order wherein
.morally diseased men may not be allowed
to roam at large, preying on
youngsters, impairing their morals injuring
their bodies and sometimes, as
New York City has proven all too often
recently, taking their lives.
"The rise in this type of crime is
appalling," Mrs. Edward T. Whitney
of New Rochelle said today, "one crime
of the sort is enough to shock a nation,
but continued crimes, such as
society has been experiencing lately
can result in nothing more than a
mass movement of the people to see
that such things are stopped."

a committee, headed toy the president.
Walter Westall, former state senaToY,
to confer with the Commission on Administration
of Justice, in prepar.ng
a new draft of a code of criminal procedure.
The S. P. C. C. committee will begin
operations in September.
The present wave of sex crimes
against, children was described by
Philip S. Tilden, New Rochelle's director
of public saftey. as a cycle in
crime familiar to all criminologists.
"We have waves of klndnapp ng,"
Mr. Tilden pointed out as he Joined
the committee. "We have waves of
larceny, of arson, of various other
types of crime. Nothing, however, can
be worse than these crimes against
children. It is essential that we study
every phase cf this s tua.ion. I am
going to suggest to our committee,
when it meets that iti carefully weigh
the possibility that styles of dress
may have somfething to do with these
sex crimes. I am not saying the styles
do; I am merely saying we must not
overlook any possible feature of the
situation. Are these perverts stimulated
to their actions by the sight of
children, in sun-suits? Do we send our
children out in too scanty clothing?
I wonder. Whatever the cause, however,
now is the time for us ,o act. as
a community."
"Every one of us deeply regrets the
necessity for such a committee as
this," said the Rev. Jaims Halligan.
pastor of the Holy Name Roman Catholic
Church, "but nothing could be
plainer than that we must take the
steps so clearly indicated by these
increasing crimes. I am strongly in

help."
Other prominent New Rochelle
Catholics who have likewise Joined the
committee Include Mrs. David Weir,
president of the Catholic Women's
Club of Westchester, and John A. Bodmer,
former Grand Knight of the New
Rochelle Counc.l, Knights of Columbus,
Mr. Bodmer, a lawyer and the
father of three small girls, is convinced
of the inadequacy of the protection
afforded society by existing laws, and
of the necessity for definite and
speedy reform.
Immediate Acceptance to commlttee
membership was given by the Rev.
Preder.ck Wamsley, rector of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church.
Morton Puerst. executive director of
the New Rochelle Boys' Club and
Charles J. Muensen, its president, are
both committee rrtembers—each being
a man noted in this community for his
work for the protection of young people
and the building of a finer citizenry.
Others who have pledged their support
in New Rochelle are Dr. E. Leslie
Burwell, president of Rotary; Philip
Lewis, chairman. New Rochelle district.
Boy Scouts of America; Mrs.
Oscar Grab, president of the New Rochelle

Too Much Soot.
Twenty years ago. more or less,
there were more dirt roads but less
grime. The New York Central and the
New Haven contributfd. plenty of soot,
but every now and rfjien •• protests of
housewives, particularly- in the spring
and summer when porch parties were
In vogue, made to sympathetic ears,
would be relayed to officials of the
railroads, and their orders would send
the soot dispensing trains out of the
more thickly populated areas before
the smoke screen was allowed to billow
over the town.
Now that the oil burner and the automobile
exhaust add considerably to
the Job of keeping houses and clothes
clean and porches are less frequented
the protests against soot are infre­
quent. What with tobacco pervading
the air and ox blood varnish concealing
finger and toe nails Phoebe Snow
has fallen from the ranks of the celebrated.
Rinso is supposed to conceal
B. O. and glamour, charm. But there
are a few souls who say there is too
much soot. And pending the extension
of electric service to Brewster, relief
from the smoke screen would help.

FRUIT CONTENT
OF DAn.i IJ1ET
Of Great Importance Because
of Vitamin Supply.
By EDITH IM. BARBER
\X/"HILE fruits, of course, belong
v * to the vegetable kingdom, we
classify them separately from
those foods which we call vegetables.
In fruits most of the carbohydrate
is in the form of sugar in
contrast to the starch of vegetables.
Like vegetables they are
high in vitamins, in general, supplying
us with larger amounts of vitamin
C. Leafy vegetables, tomatoes
and squash, however, can compete
with even citrus fruits on this count.
Most fruits supply, as well, a certain
amount of one or more minerals.
Like vegetables, they furnish
roughage in the form of cellulose
which aids the rhythm of digestion.
While the majority of fruits are
eaten in their raw form, cooking destroys
very little of the vitamin content.
Canned fruits can be counted
upon to supply us with practically
the same amount of vitamins which
are furnished by the raw product.
The natural acids of fruits are
usually an advantage to digestion,
excepting in special cases where
there is already an excess of acid
in the stomach. Even Jn such conditions
ripe bananas, sweet cherries,
cooked pears, apples and
prunes can usually be taken. Let
me call attention to the fact that
the condition 6f acidosis is completely
different from that of hyperacidity.
No matter how acid the
fruit is during digestion, after absorption,
alkaline products which
prevent acidosis, result.
In no respect have the dietary
customs of this country changed
more than toward the fruit content
of our daily ration. This change is,
of course, wholly advantageous.
Glazed Banana and Pineapple.
3 bananas
3 slices canned pineapple
Granulated sugar
Cut bananas and pineapple slices
in halves. Arrange in a shallow
baking dish and sprinkle with water.
Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees
Fahrenheit) about ten minutes
until the sugar is melted.
Baked Rhubarb Pudding.
6 thin slices of bread.
Butter
1 bunch rhubarb, cut into half
inch pieces
1 cup sugar
Butter the slices of bread on the
loaf before cutting and line a buttered
dish with the buttered side
of the bread toward the dish. Fill
with rhubarb and sugar, cover with
bread and bake in a moderate oven
(375' degrees Fahrenheit) half an
hour. If rhubarb is very acid more
sugar may be added.
Wine Jelly.
2 tablespoons granulated gelatin.
% cup cold water
1% cups boiling water
% cup sugar
Vi cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1V4 cups sherry
Soak gelatin in cold water five
minutes. Dissolve in boiling water.
Add remaining ingredients and pour
into a mold. Chill until set. Unmold
and serve with whipped cream.
Artichoke Salad.
1 can artichoke buds
2 tablespoons minced onion
French dressing
Pimento
Remove artichokes from can and
drain. Sprinkle with minced onion
and a well-seasoned French dressing.
Garnish with strips of pimento
before serving.
Prune and Raisin Pudding
3Vz cups milk
% cup brown sugar
Salt
ZVi tablespoons cornstarch
V4 cup raisins
V» cup cut prunes
Scald three cups of milk. Mix
cornstarch and salt with rest of milk
and add with sugar to hot milk.
Stir until thick and smooth, add fruit
and cook over hot water thirty minutes.
Pour into large or individual
molds and chill. Serve with plain
or whipped cream.
Citrus Marmalade.
1 grapefruit
1 orange
1 lemon
Water
Sugar
Wipe fruit and slice very thin.
Remove seeds of fruit and core of
grapefruit. Measure and add three
times the quantity of water. Let
stand in dish overnight. Boil until
the fruit is soft. Measure, add
an equal amount of sugar and boil,
stirring occasionally until the sirup
jellies, about one hour. Pour into
hot glasses and seal.
Marmalade Variations.
1. Use six oranges and two lemons.
2. Use three grapefruits and two
lemons.
3. Add one and one-half cupb
crushed pineapple after fruit and
sirup have been cooked fifteen minutes.
1 To cooked lruit, add two cui-v
cooked cranberries and an equal
amount of sugar.

Hidden Genius
By STANLEY CORDELL
C Associated Newspapers.
WNU Service.
*"pHE Alpha, Alnha, Alpha, Alpha
*• fraternity at Boynton university
is responsible for the fate of Percival
Oakes. It happened this way.
During his freshman year the
AAAA's pledged Percy to membership,
and initiated him into the mystic
three R's. (Rites, rituals and
regulations.) Percy took it like a
man. When ordered to imitate a
dog howling at the moon, he did
his level best. The result was astonishingly
successful.
The brother AAAA's cheered
loudly and clamored for encores.
Percy obliged a second time and a
third. He was immensely pleased
with the applause and the attention
he attracted.
The next day, en route to class,
Percy was stopped by a gravefaced
sophomore and asked to give
his imitation of a dog howling at
the moon. For a moment he hesitated,
conscious of a circle of grinning
faces that had silently formed
about him, faintly resentful of the
fact that the brothers of the AAAA
had made public the discovery of
his hidden genius. He planced once
more into the grove face of the
youth who had accosted him and
then threw back his head and bayed
lustily.
A mighty roar of applause greeted
the rendition. There were cries of
"More!" "More!" Percival obliged
a second time and then once more.
He was ready and willing for a
fourth delivery when the bell on "T"
hall tolled forth its mellow note
and the gathering dispersed.
Percy hurried on to class alone.
He was not disoleased with his
morning's work. He had been at college
four months, and this was the
first time he had attracted any attention.
Returning to college in the fall,
Percy had completely put from his
mind the cause and fact of his last
year's popularity. There were other
and more important things to occupy
his interest. He was now a
sophomore, with all the rights and
liberties and sensations of importance
that are synonymous with that
lofty position.
Chief among these, the ope which
had proved the sharpest thorn in
his bed of roses, was that which
had prohibited or limited his association
with coeds. Now, tincumbered
by this fetter, Percy's
first act as a sophomore was to join
a group of classmates in eating
lunch at the Commons for the express
purpose of looking over the
incoming stock of freshman lassies.
One among them caused Percy's
brain to swim. Here was loveliness
and intelligence and femininity all
combined. Unhappily, it took him
a fortnight to negotiate an introduction.
Her name was Delia Winter,
and she was as r poDular as she was
for nothing; she had her pick of th*
COVCPQ.
It was at ona of the Bnturdnv
night informal drnefffi at t ,-, e college
gym. They had baan daicinf?
together for perhaps s'xty peenndf
when Delia looked up at h'm and
said: "Aren't you the bo^* v.'ho ran
imitate a dog whi'e ho»vlini i.» th*
moon?" Her eyes tr/*" , - , «H
Percy reddened to the er~s. '•'••
felt a chill, a horrible ***• "sion.
"No," he bler'cJ.
Whoever told you that is rra-.y!"
Delia didn't press the subject, bu*
Percy knew he was sunk. He lei
a month slip by before he COP Id
conjure enough courage to ask for
a date, felt pitifully grateful when
she assented.
No mention was mrde that nif'it
of his genius, but Percy sensed it
was on her mind; gloomily knew
that the miserable experience oi
last year was the seal of his doom,
the closed door to this future happiness.
Within the following month he
kept five dates with Delia, but it was
always the same: the "thing" was
always there between them. She
thought, must think him ridiculous
She pitied him.
During the intermission at the
Dartmouth victory dance, Percy
and Delia strolled out onto the now
dry ice-skating rink and sat down
on the bulwark and looked up 8t
the moon. Because of his great and
hopeless love Percy was moody, ui>
happy, thoughtful. Suddenly he was
startled by the petulant tone of his
beloved.
"I think it must be wonderful."
she said.
"What must?" arked PercivaJ.
"To be able to imitate things. I
mean, anyone can play football, or
learn to skate, or dance well, but it
takes genius to be able to imitate
things."
"Do—you mean that?"
"Why, of course I do! I've always
admired people who—have
creative ability. Genius. Of course
I mean it!"
She looked squarely at him, and
the last trace of doubt vanished
from Percy's soul like mist fron. a
river bed before a rising sun. He
stood up, he threw back his head,
he looked at the moon and from
his throat there came the clear,
deep, rich tones of a baying hound.
There was in them a note of joy, of
triumph, of fullness. They rose and
fell and reached a new quality of
perfection. Watching, the eyes of
Delia Winter glowed and shone and
sparkled in delighted admiration.
Ryan Appointed To
Board of Elections
At the request of the Democratic
Chairman, Alpha R. Whiton of the
Town of Kent, a special meeting of
the Board of Supervisors was called
in order that the Board might appoint
a person to fill the vacancy on the
Board of Elections of Putnam County
caused by the resignation of Elijah E.
Tompkins of the Town of Putnam
Valley, who tendered his resignation
to the Board of Supervisors on August
16. 1937. to take effect as of September
1. 1937.
Mr. Wpilton certified to the appointment
of Edward P. Ryan who is also
of the Town of Kent and offered a
resolution to confirm Mr. Ryan's appointment
which was unanimously
adopted by the Board of Supervisors.

he would have to detrain at Dykemans
or Tilly Poster. The pedestrian is
not yet in the picture. He still crosses
the street at his own risk and if he
can't see through the express vans
that's just too bad. He can talk to
Duffy or Joe or Sam and say "there
ought to be a law" or a red light or
something.

that finger prints may be an effective
means of identification in case
of death or amnesia, increasing
numbers of civilians are having
their prints recorded at the federal
bureau of investigation, a division
or the United States Department of
Justice that is perhaps better
known as 'the G-Men,'" says the
National Geographic society.
"Visitors are conducted on tours
through the identification division at
the rate of several hundred a
day. Many remain to have their
fingerprints taken. In long chattering
lines, busincssTnen and their
wives, giggling girls, and solemn
small boys pass before the recorder
with his yellow stamp pad and
small white cards marked off into
spaces for each finger's print.
"A young girl approaches, holding
out red-nailed white hands. The
recorder presses her right thumb
firmly on the stamp pad and then
down on the card, rolling it from
right to left. 'Just relax, don't
try to help me,' he instructs her,
for if she presses with her thumb,
it overinks and smudges the pattern.
Offer Telltale Evidence.
"He takes the marks of her right
hand's fingers, one after another,
and then those of her. left hand,
individually.
"Next he records, at a single
impression, all the fingertips of her
right hand, and, with another impression,
all those of the left, as
a check upon the sequence of the
preceding prints. She stares
amazed at the dark whorls on the
card made by her unstained white
fingertips. The colorless chemical
solution on the stamp pad acts on
the chemically-treated card, but
remains invisible on the hand.
"The federal bureau of investigation,
with 237,000 sets of fingerprints
in its civilian files, is increasing
them at the rate of almost 800
a day. The bureau does not search
for fingerprints of criminals among
the prints in these files, but it may
search for them among the prints
of civil service employees, which
are filed to keep men with prison
records from holding positions of
public trust.
"Exhibited on the wall of the
federal bureau of investigation is
a device like a large automobilemileage-meter.
Each time the last
number on the right changes, it
marks, not another mile, but a new
set of criminal fingerprints received
at the bureau. The number changes
about 175 times an hour. The bureau,
on duty twenty-four hours a
day, receives during that time
about 4,200 new records of people

"Imagine that a suspect, Bill
Smith, is arrested in Los Angeles.
His fingerprints are taken with
printer's blcck ink, which, with
his photograph, are rushed to Washington
to the federal bureau of investigation
There they will be
checked against fingerprints in the
criminal files to see if he has a

check reveals that Bill Smith is
really ex-convict 'Butcherknife
Joe,' wanted in New Orleans for
murder, two telegrams are sent,
one to inform the Los Angeles authorities,
another to tell New Orleans
officials the Los Angeles police
have their man.
"Fingerprints found on weapons,
woodwork, glass, and articles near
a scene of a crime are also checked
against prints in the bureau's criminal

Captain Yates Talks
On Life Saving
As a result of the tragic drowning
which occurred at Lake Waccabuc on
July 9, when the wife and child of
Henry Burntitus of Yonkers, were
drowned, during a vacation trip. Cap­
tain David J. Yates, Director of First
Aid and Life Saving, Weschester
County Chapter. American Red Cross,
was asked to give a demonstration for
the benefit of homo owners, guests and
friends of the South Salem section,
Sunday. August 29, at 4 p. m.
In a beautiful setting at the home
of Mr. Bryce Taylor, Lake Waccabuc.
the demonstration was given before
approximately 300 persons. Thirty or
more boats and canoes surrounded the
demonstration area.
The demonstration consisted of Paul
A. Noe. President of the Westchester
County Life Saving Examiners' Asso­
ciation. Charles Sammann and Don­
ald Kellogg, of Katonah; Beatrice Ta-
tor. South Salem; and Junior Life
Savers, Dot Peatt. Gladys Isles and
Peggy Ostrander or Lake Namanasco.
In Captain Yates talk before nnd
during he demonstration, he explained
that during the past twelve months
there have been 81.291 certificates is­
sued to persons qualfying as Red
Cross Life Savers in the United
States. This brings the grand total of
Life Savers to 798,499 since the inau­
guration of the Life Saving Service in
1914. In Westchester County since
1930, Captain Yates explained there
have been 9.959 persons qualified, and
over 8,000 training hours given.
Captain Yates said that since Janu­
ary 1, there have been 14 drownings
in Westchester. Nine of these persons
drowned were from the New York City
area. Eight of these drownings occur­
red in unsupervised areas. In speaking
of New York City's drowning rate, he
explained that New York City has the
unenviable reputation of having the
largest drowning loss of any civilized
community in the world, the average
being over 400 fatalities a year.
The Life Saving demonstration con­
sisted of the various correct approaches
to drowning persons, the breaking of
so-called death grips or strangle holds,
as taught by the Red Cross, body re­
covery drill, the use of life saving
equipment in effecting rescues, parti­
cularly the use of a life saving ring
buoy.
Capain Yates stressed the need for
all persons on the lake learning at
least the fundamentals of water safe­
ty, stressing particularly, that in case
of accidents—the over urning of ca­
noes and boats, persons should under
no circumstances leave the boat. This
applies especially to canoes capsizing.
A canoe filled with water can be pro­
pelled by hand even if the paddles are
lost.
One of the most interesting parts
of the demonstration consisted of the
various life saving carries and the lat­
est approved method of applying arti­
ficial respiration, known as the Prone
Pressure Method.

Man With Branded Hand
TN EVERGREEN cemetery in
* Muskegon, Mich., stands a monu­
ment which bears the inscription
"Capt. Walker's Branded Hand"
and below it a bas-relief of an open
hand with the letters "S. S." on
the heel of the thumb. This monu­
ment recalls one of the stirring in­
cidents of pre-Civil war days and
marks the grave of a man who
played a part in bringing on that
conflict.
Capt. Jonathan Walker was
a Massachusetts sea captain and in
1844 was engaged in coastwise
trade. Hating negro slavery, Walk­
er tried to help seven blacks, who
had fled from a Florida plantation,
escape to the Bahamas. He was
arrested, brought to Pensacola,
tried as a thief in federal court
and found guilty. He was sentenced
to be branded on the right hand
with the letters "S. S." (slave steal­
er), to stand in the pillory one hour,
be imprisoned fifteen days and pay
a fine of $150.
After the first part of the sentence
had been carried out, he was led
again into the courthouse. Or­
dered to put his hand on the post of
the railing in front of the judge's
bench, Walker protested when the
marshal bound it fast to the post.
He declared that he could hold it
firm during the ordeal, but his pro­
test was ignored and the branding
took place.
After his release from prison,
Walker went back to his home in
Massachusetts to find himself a hero
and a martyr. John Greenleaf Whit-
tier wrote a poem in which he be­
sought Walker to hold his branded
right hand aloft for all the world
to see. Abolitionist leaders recog­
nized in the incident a potent ar­
gument for their cause. Accompa­
nied by a fugitive slave he traveled
through the North and lectured on
the evils of slavery.
"The Man with the Branded
Hand" became a famous figure and
he did much to arouse the North
and put it in a receptive frame of
mind for Harriet Beecher Stowe's
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" as a faithful
picture of the horrors of slavery.
In the '50's Walker and his family
moved to Wisconsin and a few years
later bought a small fruit farm in
Michigan. There he lived during the
remainder of his days and there
he died in 1878, an almost forgotten
figure who had played no little part
in bringing on the greatest civil war
in history.

Now 150 Years Old

Americans
-By Dmo Scott Watson-
r -ap'n Streeter, Squatter King
F IFTY years ago it was only a
sandbar on the shore of Lake
Michigan opposite Chicago's famous
"Gold Coast." Today towering sky­
scrapers, huge office buildings, a
famous hotel and a great university
stand on land valued at half a bil­
lion dollars. But Chicagoans still call
it "Streeterville," thereby honor­
ing the memory of Cap'n George
Wellington Streeter, who battled val­
iantly against "them dern capital­
ists" and held out for 30 years be­
fore they finally dethroned this fa­
mous "squatter king" from his
"Deestrict of Lake Michigan."
Streeter was a Civil war vet­
eran who became a boatman on the
Great Lakes. In 1884 he built a 100-
ton ship in which he started for
Honduras to take part in a revolu­
tion then in progress. But his ship
went aground on a sandbar and
the skipper found himself marooned
several hundred yards out in Lake
Michigan from the Chicago shore­
line. So he decided he might as well
stay right there. Out of the timbers
of his ship he and his wife, Maria,
built a little shack on their sandy
island and settled down.
But the rich owners of property
in that part of Chicago were extend­
ing their riparian rights out into the
lake. As the little peninsulas of
filled-in land reached out toward the
captain's island, which had been en­
larged by drifting sand, they decided
that his shack was an eyesore and
should be removed. They called on
the law to evict these squatters ar.d
five husky constables started out to
do it. Cap'n Streeter put on his fight­
ing costume—a high silk hat and
a frock coat—he and Maria took
their muskets in hand and the con­
stables retreated hastily.
Streeter found an old map of the
city on which the boundary of Lake
Michigan was plainly marked. He
contended that the "made land"
was outside that boundary, there­
fore it was under federal jurisdic­
tion and he claimed it by right of
discovery. But the courts refused
to recognize his claim to this "Dees­
trict of Lake Michigan." He and
Maria were evicted time and again
but they always came back. So the
struggle went on year after year, in
court and out of court.
"Cap'n" Streeter died in 1921. But
his second wife, "Ma" Streeter, true
to her promise to him, carried it on
for several years more. Finally she
had to give up the fight and Chica­
go's "Thirty Years' war" with the
"squatter king" came to end when
she died last year.
C Weatern Ns*apapor Valon,
Nearly 200 members of the Bedford
Fanners Club ga "hered at Old Bed­
ford Courthouse, Bedford Village, on
August 25, to celebrate the 150th an-
nivarsary of the building. There seat­
ed on the long benches that had felt
the weight of many a Colonial bar­
rister in the early days of the nation
they listened to recitals of the history
of Bedford from members of the club.
At the opening of the meeting the
old courthouse bell was rung for the
firs: time in years. The bell, it was only
recently discovered is just 100 years
old. A date believed to be the date
of casting is 1837, 50 years after the
courthouse was built.
During the meeting it was voted by
club memfbers to contribute $25 to a
fund to be used for the erection of a
suitable sign or marker for the his­
toric old building. Mrs. Alfred Roel-
ker immediately arose to donate an­
other $25 to the funds on behalf of the
Bedford Garden Club.
Miss Delia Marble, a resident of
Bedford Village and a member of the
club was the first speaker and she
dwelled on the "human qualities of the
Courthouse."
The other speakers were L. Hollmgs-
worth Wood, president, who harked
back to the days when Westchester
county attorneys and Justices came
from miles around to try their cases.
Will Adams gave a detailed history
of the old building through several
phases of American history.
A poemi written by Robertson Bar­
rett of Katonah paying tribute to the
courthouse was read and the model
of the Bedford Presbyterian church
built by Palmer Lewis was exhibited.
Cards bearing the seal of the town
of Bedford and a description of its
graphic designs as related to Bed-
fords History were handed out as of­
ficial mementos of the 150th anniver­
sary of the Courthouse.
Slot Machines.
Ever put a nickle ;n the slot for a
package of gum, a bar of chocolate
candy, your weight, or a chance to
"hit the machine?"
As you did, you probably thought the
slot machine was a clever idea. These
are great days—selling candy, food
products and what not, by machine.
That's where the joke is on us. This
idea of selling by machine isn't some­
thing new, not by a jugful. And it isn't
fifty years or a hundred years old. It's
over 2,000 years old. Tie that one. We
think of the people of the time 0/
Christ as walking along dusty roads
and buying their wares in the market
place. A simple sort of life. Machines
weren't of that day. This is the ma­
chine age.
Well, according to the records, we're
just thinking—and we're wrong. For,
the first coin-in-the-slot machine goes
back to about 200 B. o.—over 2,000
years ago. But you hatven't heard any­
thing yet. That machine was used for
the dispensing of purifying water to
Egyptian worshipers as they entered
the temples.
The records state: "The water was
contained in closed vessels provided
like a money box with a slit in the top
through which the sum of five drach­
mae must be dropped before the don­
or could receive any of the purifying
contents. The weight of the five coins
moved a lever downward, which open­
ed a valve. As the lever lowered, the
coins fell off, and the lever rose again,
closing the valve." So that's that.
Speaking of slot machines, here is
another one that old. in the Eigh­
teenth Century a British genius inven­
ted a machine that looked like a jury
wheel, mixed up with a clock, for the
dispensing of a chew of tobacco, for
a penny.
Somebody said there is nothing new
under the sun. It certainly looks as if
that somebody was r.ght.—The Dum­
my.
