When the old South Siders get together and full to talking of oysters the old argument frequently arises as to whether or not one can tell a natural Blue Point from some other breed by taste alone. And many a laugh has been scored on the wise ones in blindfold tests on this point also many a practical joke wherein the oyster fed to the fellow sitting in judgment contained Komething else besides its tine essence of the briny bay red pepper, for instance. The main problem as to the oyster crop this winter will be the shortage of men to do the longing. For several winters the oysters have been so comparatively poor In quality that some of the bavmen have found other lines of work and disposed of their equipment, while others are in military urrin. nmt still others have been Hi ft V.

GEORGE. CAkUANA The Rev. Father George Caruana of St, Leo's Catholic Church in Corona was recently appointed chaplain in the U. S. Army.

Before leaving he was tendered a surprise farewell reception by his parishioners and friends In the hall of St. Leo's Catholic Church, and a purse of over $C00 was presented to him by Borough President Maurice E. Connolly, a member of the parish, in behalf of the parishioners and friends. This cash was given Father Caruana to assist him in making the many necessary purchases, which will include a horse for use in the Panama Zone, uniforms and other supplies. Father Caruana is the only native Island of Malta priest in the United States.

During the Spanish-American War he served as Catholic chaplain with the American Army in the Philippines without compensation, paying all his own expenses. He was a personal friend of General Wood, General Funs-ton and General Pershing. Coming to Corona from Brooklyn four years ago as the successor of the Uev. John L. O'Toole as rector of St.

Leo's parish, Father Caruana endeared himself not alone to his people but to Corona residents of other beliefs. His good nature and affability won him a host of friends, lie is 42 years old. Father Caruana is the first priest in the Long Island Diocese to volunteer his services as chaplain in the IT. S. Army, following a call sent out for volunteers, by Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn.

Unusual Exhibitions and Plenty of Free Amusements, Including Night Fireworks Displays. (Special to The Eagle.) Rivet-head, L. September 14 "There is every reason to believe that Governor Whitman will make a special visit to the Suffolk County Fair next week, and will deliver an address at the grandstand," said. Harry Lee, secretary and principal manager of the fair this morning. 'Colonel ltoosevelt has also been invited but whether or not he can ar range his affairs so he can visit us has not been as yet definitely determined," added Mr.

Lee. (iovcrnor Whitman hit a popular chord here two or three years ago, when he delivered an address that (showed him fully alive to the agricultural resources of the State, particularly the big part that Suffolk County. is playing. This is the sixty-ninth annual exhibition of the Suffolk County Agricultural Society, but never before, said Mr. Lee.

have such elaborate arrange ments been made for a county fair as this vear. There will be everything, frbm a baby show to circus stunts. No money has been spared, it is statea, to provide attractions of an unusual sort. "The fair will be bigger and better than ever in every department," said Lee, "especially in the free amusement features." Cpoiis Tuesday Morning. The fair will open its gates on the beautiful grounds in Kiverhead on Tuesday morning and will close Friday night.

It is a sort of time-honored institution; here old and young congregate, and the young marvel at some of the latest in circus stunts while the old find genuine, wholesome pleasure in renewing acquaintance with old friends that they meet only "at fair time in Kiverhead." In this one feature alone the fair is a clearing house for geniality and the swapping of reminiscences. On Wednesday and Thursday nights there will also be a night fair, when the principal features will be an extraordinary display of fireworks. Including a submarine battle. The fireworks program is a long one. grounds, as immense as they are, will be brilliantly illuminated with elec-ter and calcium lights, presenting a fantastic appearance, licskles the fireworks there will be a free vaudeville show, dancing, etc.

I'uvne Whitney will be one of the largest exhibitors in the big poultry department, where over 3,000 birds will be shown. There will also be at least 15 pens of pheasants in this department, including some of the beautiful birds from Martin A. Metz-tier's country estate at Lake Ronkon-komannd from CI. L. Davis' place at Jit.

Sinai. In the cattle department two or three wealthy men having big country estates on the Island will show their herds, including Ferdinand Cut-man of Babylon, who will have two herds of (luernseys, and C. I. Hudson of East Norwich, who will have his two herds of said to be among the finest in the Slate, and which are now at the State fair in Syracuse. There will also he an unusual display of farm tractors and motor trucks fnr farm work: in fact the farm machinery display, showing all of the thousand and one lahor saving machines operated by power, will he immense.

And in the regular departments devoted to fruits, vegetables, swine, sheep, automobiles, canning and preserving, domestic, cooking. paintings. fancy articles, school work, and the like. Secretary-Lee says there Is a tremendously large entrv list. Premiums for these departments will be paid in War Savings Stamps.

Horse Races Kvery Day. As usual the horse racing department three or four races every day and the horse show departments have attracted many horses of prominence on the track or In the show ring. Horse racing has ever been a most attractive sport at this fair, and fast horses are always attracted by the large purses.

I September 15 Although Lt. Thomas Hitchcock who recently escaped from a German prison camp and who is now In Paris, is not expected to reach his home here until October, the villagers are already, making plans to give him a welcome when he arrives that he will not forget as long as he lives. Through his democratic ways Lt. Hitchcock, familiarly known to the townspeople as Tommy," endeared himself to the people of Westbury who boast of the fact today that In Lt. Thomas Hitchcock Jr.

they have the youngest aviator in tho country and that In his father, Maj. Thomas Hitchcock, they have the oldest aviator in the service, for despite his having passed the half century mark Maj. Hitchcock is just as much an adept at tho flying game as the younger man. Lt. Tommy Jr.

was brought up in the saddle, from early childhood ho evinced a love for horses and while yet a baby was often seen riding on his favorite pony with a groom running along side to keep the rider from falling off. When little Tommy's horsemanship improved sufficiently he was allowed to compete in the horse show ring In the pony saddle classes and frequently carried off first honors, winning the admiration of the crowds by his skillful handling of the reins. This sort of riding soon became too slow for Tommy, however, and a few years later he was astride some of his father's thoroughbreds. He learned to ride these spirited animals with wonderful ease and was often seen in company with his mother, father and sister taking the fences In the vicinity of the Hitchcock home or practicing over tho jumps on his father's estate. Polo claimed the attention of Tommy when he was but barely 10 years of age.

His ability at this game astonished even the oldest players and his dash and fearlessness in the games played at Meadow Brook, the Rock-away Club and other polo fields on Long Island became the talk of the youngsters of Westbury who would walk miles just to see their idol display his prowess on the polo field and who would return to their homes or gather in Barley's Pharmacy on Post avenue and discuss Tommy's intrepid work in the games. When war broke out in Europe it did not surprise Tommy's friends when they heard that he had dropped his studies at college and though only 17. had enlisted tn a French aviation corps. "Tommy always wanted to be in the thick of things," they said, "and he will make good." Westbury is proud of Lieut. Thomas Hitchcock and its people are glad that he is on his way home.

They want to shake his hand, tell him how glad they are to see him hack again and hear him tell in his own words about his battles with tho Huns, his life in the. German prison camps and his escape. Tommy mother is one of the best known equestriennes on Long Island, riding to houni witTi the Meadow-brook Hunt and winning blue rib bons with her noted thoroughbreds. Jolly Dixon" and "Cavalier." On Wednesday of this week cable advices from friends of the Hitchcock family stated that Lieut. Thomas Hitchcock is now in Taris and expects to rail for home late this month.

After resting in this country he will probably ask to be transferred from the French to the American Flying Corps. His friends expect that he will be unwilling to remain in this country as long as the war continues, and that he will soon be back on his task for which he has Ehown such aptitude driving the Huns from the skies.

Considerable mirth has been caused at the Queens Democratic headquarters by tho statement from the Keating camp tha1 no opposition ticket of independents was placed in the field against the organization candidates because of a request from the Stai. leaders who sought to bring about harmony in the party. When certain newspaper men in the county who are opposed to Connolly, announced some time ago that Keating was planning the formation of a new party that would have candidates for every local office in which a change is to be made, the organization leaders put the statement aside with a smile, and absolutely refused to worry about it.

"Why worry?" was the general attitude and expression of the leaders. "It is impossible for Keating or anyone else to start an independent ticket for the very good reason that there are not enough voters in the county who are eligible to sign his independent petitions, that would sign them. All persons signing independent petitions must be voters who took no part in the primary election. It Is needless to say that with the light Keating made to gain control of the county committee, that every possible man or woman who has Keuting sympathies was marshaled to the polls on primary day and thus eliminated themselves as eligibles for the sponsor nn candidate." This will be the first election Queens has had in many years in which some one candidate at least has not sought election on an independent ticket The Democratic organization candidates are facing the Republican organization stronger than they have done for' many years. They won elections when weaker than they are at this time, and the November outlook looks bright The only fight that will prove of any special interest will be that between Alderman Edward W.

Cox. Democrat, and Mrs. Clara A. Rodger, Republican, candidates for County Clerk. Mrs.

Rodger is not only the only woman who is seeking office in Queens, but she Is the first woman who has ever sought office in the county bv general election. She and her Republican followers are basing their hopes for her election on the theory that 'women who have never voted before will raise a sex issue and vote for her because of the fact that she Is a woman, if for no other reason. Investigations made by Democratic leaders, however, show that the women are falling In line with the organizations, and that 99 out of every 100 married women are joining and supporting the parties of their husbands. Single women attach themselves to the party of their father or brothers, with very few exceptions. "It is only natural that we women In whose families men have been voting for years should choose the same party," said one woman, when asked about this situation.

"It does not mean that we are led to the polling places like a lot of lambs, nor does it mean that we are commanded to vote as our husbands Instruct us to do. Even if the husbands were inclined to issue such commands, we would still have the right to vote as we pleased, for he would not know how we marked the ballot. "Unless a man Is one of those 'always organization' fellows, who would vote the ticket of the party to which he is allied, regardless of the character of the candidates or the ideals for which he stands, he votes for the man whom he believes will give the most efficient service If elected. He forms that opinion of honesty and efficiency from what he is told by othei men. Not one man In a thousand has a personal acquaintance with the candidal for whom he casts his vote.

Under such circumstances, why criticise the woman who happens to select the samo party and candidates that her husband or brothers do? She knows no more about those candidates than she does of any others. The voto of every man is influenced by someone. Is it not natural that the vote of a woman should be influenced by those of whom she thinks the most?" TERRY OVERTON, Bayport, L. I September 14 Miss Fannie Louise Overton and Tracy B. Terry, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Wlnfleld Terry of ratchogue, were married in the Bayport Methodist Church this eve ning. The ceremony was performed by the Kev. Dr. Daniel H.

Overton, pastor of the Islip rresbyterian Church, an uncle of the bride. Miss Abby Smith of Bayport and Miss Ethel Donaldson of Patchogue, wearing frocks of yellow Georgette crepe and hats of tulle, were bridesmaids. The bride wore a gown of white Georgette crepe trimmed with real lace. From the shoulders hung a court train and her veil of tulle was caught with orange blossoms. Mr Terry's best man was his brother, Lawrence Terry, and his four ushers were Dr.

Winfleld Terry of Brooklyn, Arthur Terry of Patchogue, the bride's brother-in-law, J. D. Maker of Bayport, and Edward Frolic of Bridgeport. Both Mr. and Mrs.

Terry are graduates of Patchogue High School and of Pratt Institute. The bridegroom is an assistant engineer at the plant of the Remington Arms In Bridgeport, and he and his bride will live in that city following a wedding trip of about a week. WAS POLISH VOLUNTEER Glen Cove, L. September 14 It has been learned that Andrew Ckmiolew-ski. one of Glen Cove's Polish boys, was killed in action on July 14.

He went from Glen Cove as a volunteer to the Polish army with the first transport that sailed last year. He had been a residont of Glen Cove for the past fifteen years. $10,000 von SOLDIERS, Lawrence, L. September 14 At an Informal meeting of the Community Club of the Fourth District of "Nassau County, held nt tho Codarhurst Armory, $10,000 was subscribed to continue entertaining tho men in service during the full and winter months. If Nassau Does Not Hold Land Sales, Local People Suffer for Boom Lot Slackers.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. September 15 "The prompt taxpayer in Nassau County favors the holding of a tax sale this year," said a man who is connected with the office of the County Treasurer. The speaker went on to show how, through promptness in holding the sales of land for unpaid taxes, the man who keeps his taxes paid up does not have to go down in his pocket-book to help pay the taxes of the delinquents. In years past, experience in Nassau County had shown that where money borrowed by the county in anticipation of taxes was not collected either through failure to hold a tax sale or through the failure of delinquents to pay the assessments on their property, the deficit was placed in the succeeding yeur's budget with the result that tho prompt taxpayer had to pay his share of the money which should have been paid by the delinquents. "The only way to make the property owner who wants to shirk the responsibility of paying his taxes, understand that tho county has not one law for the prompt taxpayer and another for the slacker who won't pay his or her taxes is to hold- the tax sales promptly and show the tax dodger that the county means business." said one taxpayi yesterday it Mineola.

It was said In the County Treasurer's ollice at Mineola, yesterday, that nine-tenths of the property which will be offered at the forthcoming tax sale is assessed to realty corporations who developed large tracts of land, expecting to make enormous sales of building lots to city buyers and who finding that their dreams did not materialize as rapidly as expected allowed their taxes to lapse. In other Instances, it was pointed out, city buyers who Hocked to land sales held in the county in boom were Imbued with the belief that their investments would net a 100 per cent, return: Many of these paid only a small sum down on their lots and fall ing to reap the anticipated bonanza became indifferent and permitted tax arrears to accumulate on the pur chases. Figures in the Treasurers office here show that only about 50 per cent, of this property is redeemed by the original owners. The past two tax sales held by the County of Nassau have been unex pectedly successful trom a financial standpoint. The 1913-14 sale held in March, 1917, resulted in a gross return to the county of $216,875.67.

Only $3,300 worth of property had to be bid in by the county and' the bulk of this was charged to the towns of the county since it represented double assessments. From the sale of the 101-5 arrearages the gross sum of was collected. Only in property was bought in by the county. At a property sale held by the county, in July, 1916, the county realized a net profit of $1 6,000. Land sold at.

this sale was bought in by the county at the sale held in Septem ber, 1914, for the 1908-9 tax arrears.

Extra Room Needed-Will Be Supplied by Frame Addition to Main Structure. The question of pew buildings for the Xewtown High School is being temporarily solved by the erection of a frame addition to the main edifice. This will provide ten new classrooms besides teachers rooms and storage rooms. This additional space will ac commodate from 300 to 350 scholars and relieve the crowding in both the Annerf and the Main building. The work at this school is planned along practical lines.

There is a new system of practical guidance in vocational work and the placing of boys and girls in the walks in life most suited to their special capabilities. The co-operative course by which pupils are sent out to business and taken back into school week and week by turns Is proving a valuable training for business life. The young clerk is watched and guided, his difficulties are overcome, his mistakes noted and he is shown how to remedy them. The old system of filling the mind a young person with facts and then leaving him to apply them as best he may is done away with. After a sufficiency of facts h(s been absorbed, the pupil is guided to a useful application of them and while this process is going on new facts are gradually instilled; Thus the boy or girl slides gradually Into the life work, there is nu hard and fast line marking off the Htudy period from that of actual work and tho time so frequently lost in the experiments of inexperience is saved, to say nothing of the disappointments that are avoided.

The vocational course occupies three years. During the second and third of these the pupil work, and studies turn and turn about, getting nineteen weeks out of the thirty-eight of the I while the alternate weeks are devoted I to the practical acquirement of busi- ness experience. Several big depart- ment and other stores and some factories are taking the high school stu dents on these terms and are finding them very satisfactory. Some pupils are engaged in tho printing business and there is a class In salesmanship with a regular teacher, one of the only two in New York. Miss Stehler, qualified expert In merchandizing, is I the teacher of this branch.

The people of Newtown arc much interested in their High School and are doing their utmost and putting forth every effort to obtain a permit to enlarge Iheir school to meet the growing requirements of this large eomuiunily. In this Commissioner of Education Hyan is doing his best to help them and Dillingham, the principal of tho school, is working earneslly while Borough PresWlent Connolly, who is himself a graduate of the Newtown High School, is lending tho weight of his influence to further the same cause. Seventeen The Newtown High School last night opened its doors to an exhibition of patriotic works done during the summer in the. district. There are exhibits of War Garden produce, of canning done in tho neighborhood and of lieil Cross work.

Several prominent speakers are scheduled to deliver addresses. The judges for the various exhibits will be, for the jellies and canned goods, Miss K. Barber of the Food Board, Miss Sehultetis of tho Board of Education and Mrs. Jessie Orten of Elmhurst. The produce will be judged by Edward Beevis of the Park Depart ment.

Mrs. J. W. Paris. War Garden superintendent, and Messrs.

Charles Schnellrr and John Vande. veer. Demonstrations of sugar saving and canning will be given by Miss Barber and Mrs. Storcr of the Food Board. FIND BOLT IN SWITCH Waniagh, L.

The ceremony was performed by Ihe Hcv. Charles Caiiavan of Oyster Hay, and was fol-loweil by a reception and supper at the home of the. bride's parents for the immediate relatives. The bride wore a costume of bluo Georgette erepe, with hat to match. She was attended by her two sisters, Mrs.

SECT McFARLANE HAS BEEN THRICE AROUND THE WORLD Well Known in Brooklyn Y. M. C. Now Working With Nassau-Suffolk Organization. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L.

I September 14 Hundreds of Brooklynites, especially young men who identified themselves with the Central Y. M. C. A. several years ago, remember Joseph McFir-lane, whose services in behalf of the association are noted throughout the world.

Ho was largely responsible for the start that has sent many Brooklyn young men up tho ladder of success. In Brooklyn he was known for his valuable servico in religious work, but throughout the entire world his activities have been on a much broader scope. He has been engaged in the work of Nassau and Suffolk Counties and has been at Mineola for some time past, but will leave soon for Oneida County. While in Brooklyn Mr. McFarlane met and married Miss Vlnnie L.

Vande Mark, who was a solo singer in the Central Branch and whose presence was a big factor in making the religious activities there so successful In Mr. MeFarlane's time. He has lived here for two years. The following account is a story of Joseph McFarlane, who has traveled around the world three times and it details the impressions of an active, energetic M. C.

A. worker in his travels. Mr. McFarlane was at his desk yesterday when Clarence E. Hewitt, survey and publicity secretary, invited him for a swim'.

"I suppose you haven't had time to enjoy a swim in our Atlantic Ocean in years," observed Mr. Hewitt, whereupon Mr. McFarlane replied: "My dear boy. I have had the pleasure of swimming in every ocean and sea in the world. An Eagle reporter evinced surprise.

"Every sea?" the reporter gasped. "How about the Dead Sea?" "Ves sir; the Dead Sea, the Tilver Jordan, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and in bodies of water that would take a day in telling." This was said quite modestly, as Mr. McFarlane is no boaster. He belongs to that type known as doers of the word, not savers of the word. Mr.

McFarlane has been a Y. M. C. A. worker for liiteen vears.

and has carried the spirit of that associa tion into every city of every country tnrougnout tne worm, While be did not stay long in many places, visiting at the various association buildings for brier periods, his influence was felt wherever lie went. His capacity for work is enormous, and, his grasp on the details associated with his work is a byword among his superiors. He did general secretarial labors. He has been in Bombay. India.

New Zealand, China, Japan, Palestine and Turkey. He has been in all parts of this country from the Pactfic to the Atlantic. It Is to get Mr. Me-Farlane to speak of his Y. M.

A. achievements, but he is always willing to give his impressions of ths peoples and habits of the countries into which he carried the teachings of the Y. M. C. A.

So vast has been his experience and so far have been his travels, not to dwell on his speed in getting over the territory, that we will fust say, In passing, that he traveled 40,000 miles in one year. He did not only touch at a country, but traveled through it. Mr. McFarlane traveled into Home, Geneva, Paris, London, Edinburgh, (ilnsgow nnd Belfast, all in the interest of the Y. M.

C. A. He has been for three years in V. M. C.

A. work in Oneida County, in enmpaign work, recruiting for war work funds. He is county secretary. He has great force and personal magnetism, ami is pleasing In his manner of speech. He regrets his inability lo meet many of bis former Brooklyn friends, but reminds them that he lives in with his wife ami child.

Having been round the world three times, he is never sure when he will be called upon for his fourth trip.
