PILAT Quaint and almost untouched by time is what was once known as the village of Gravenzande, founded bs a community of complete religious tolerance by Lady Deborah Moody In the nth Century after her daring flight from Salem, Mass. Kerosene lamp and wells in back yards of houses which have no electric light or water bills to pay exist there.

Venerable fanners who count on living to the age of 100 are out with hoe and spade these early spring days. And families, with streets named after them, live in the white old houses their fathers lived In before them. The four square block which once marked the limits of the Gravenzande stockade against the Indians are said to be the first blocks marked out In Brooklyn. Certainly, claim the Lakes, the Bennetts, the Van Sicklens and the other honorable families who know each other's history for centuries and who dare say nothing against their neighbor, for there is bound to be a relative of their own in their neighbor's family tree certainly, they say, no other blocks in the borough arc exactly square, to the inch. Get out a map of Brooklyn and you will see this four-block square bounded by Village Road on three sides, with Van Sicklen St.

on the fourth side, and intersected by Gravesend Ave. In one direction ana by Gravesend Neck Road In the other. And, on all sides, bounded by bustling, modern Brooklyn! Down Gravesend Ave. run the Culver line trains, and from them you get a panorama view of these rambling wooden homesteads, colonial in style and pleasing to the eye. Over toward the Van Sicklen St.

side is the old Gravesend Cemetery, owned by the city but kept up very poorly. It Is said to be the oldest cemetery in Brooklyn. Headstones there, partly'eff aced by weather and age, are no less interesting to view than the ones in old Trinity Churchyard in Manhattan. Opposite the cemetery on Neck Road is Mrs. Anderson's house, where Lady Moody is said to have lived and where Washington is said to have slept.

However, the distinction of boarding Washington is quite common, to Judge from the houses under whose roof he is said to have passed the night, and there is another house In the neighborhood where Lady Moody is also said to have lived. Behind Mrs. Anderson's house, at 12 Village Road North, is the house where Miss Ellen Ryder lived for nearly 88 years. The Ryders are one tif the oldest families In the square. Aunt Elly, as she was called, lived done without gas or electricity for more than half a century.

She was not friendly to neighbors at first, but when she knew them Aunt Elly was cordial. Her nearest neighbor, July Luger of 30 Village Road, says it was eight years before he was invited to visit her. Aunt Elly has Just moved to the home of her niece, in Coney Island. It hapnened this way. The old lady pot all her water from a well at nne side of her property and when new Public School 95 came into existence on Van Sicklen St.

a horde nf youngsters, playing In the empty lot between it and her house would throw things down the well. Rather than endure putting in water pipes find being annoyed by the youngsters. Aunt Elly left the square of her forefathers and her home, which in itself is well over 150 years old. The old Van Sicklen homestead of Gravesend Ave. but there are several Van Sicklens left.

One of them Is the wife of Cornelius Suydam, who lives on Village Road Norch, the other side was torn down a year or so ago, Like many others in the square, Buvdara will have nothing to do with a telephone or an automobile though he can afford luxuries out of the sales of his dahlias. He has a new dahlia out, the Gravesend Beauty, which Is as big as your hat. And already he is out planting the flowers from seed, expecting to grow more than 1,500 this year, not to speak of his seven-foot delphine, his rosy and pansy plants. Suydam Is 59, living In a house which "is not so old," having been built only in 1857. His humor is slow but sure.

One of the first lions his visitor put was whether he is any relation to the Henry Suydam who is Washington correspondent of The Eagle. "I rather reckon no," he says. "There were three Suydam boys came over from Holland together, 'fore the British got here. One of the brothers was scared at the rattlesnakes in Bowling Green and went over to Jersey, but the other two brothers stayed and later came over to Brooklyn. "On second thought, maybe some of the liquor they brought over for the Indians made that fellow think he was seeing snakes I Anyway, we're all related." Suydam is a compendium of in-1 formation concerning the section.

Concerning the Indian tribes on Long Island that occupied Flatbush, Flat land canarsie ana New Utrecht he can talk for hours. Gravesend was named after a place in England, though the chief set-! tiers were as much Dutch as Eng- lish. Kings Highway, he reveals, got lts name from the marching of British troops from Gravesend Ba to East New York in the Battle of Lonir Island. But Suydam is only one man, and time Is short. Take Uncle Abe Emmons, oppo' site the church on Neck Road, who has lived in his bouse for 97 years and has no intention of moving: Augustus F.

Friend, who is and is still looked up to as the former village blacksmith; or Wil liam B. Lake, 77. of 2 Lake Place, who has the privilege of living on street named after an ancestor. But the village square is a stockade which is slowly being forced by the hurry and modernity of neighboring One of the DeWltts died not so Ion? ago: Aunt Elly has moved; times are changing. 2 They neers must stand acknowledged face I to race.

And yet, with wistful eyes that never meet. With proplng hands that never clasp, and lips Calling In vain to ears that never hear, Thev seek each other aU their weary days And die unsatisfied snd that Is fate. Questions of Nature Not Answered I. who asks questions involving points of law. is Informed that The Eagle does not undertake to reply to questions of that kind.

He is also reminded that all questions should be accompanied by the name and address of the writer as an evidence of good faith. Anonymous questions will not be answered. The Bad and the Good Regarding V. Stanley's question In The Eagle of Sunday, April 6, I would say that a book entitled "Heart Throbs." published by Gros-set Dunlap, New York, gives us the clue to his question (page 271), but does not give the name of the one thing, we'll take the hub caps off the wheels, clean, adjust and repack the bearin's in grease. Then we'll go over the steerin' and thoroughly lubricate and adjust it.

Well get busy and clean every movin' part of the mechanical brake system, rid it of rust and give it a generous dose of lubricant. That'll be one thing that'll make a lot of difference. Wo may have to tighten the body bolts and do a little adjustin' around the doors to take out a few noises. After that we'll probably wash and polish the car. By the time the driver gets his car again It'll not only be easy to drive but he probably will be surprised at how little the work cost.

Treat Rust Spota Early There Is only one way to treat a rust spot that appears on a fender, splash apron or any other part of the car. That is to wash it thoroughly with kerosene until all the rust Is removed. When the part Is thoroughly cleaned it should be covered with a protective coating of lacquer or enamel. It Is easier to match colors than many think. Further, it is the only way to protect the car.

This Week's Best One The central character was another one of these motorists with a "theory of driving." The theory was that if one gave the "other fellow" the impression that one was not looking the other fellow always would yield the right of way. He put the theory into effect. He would charge an intersection, looking neither to right nor left. One day he participated in a crash. "Oh, he just met another driver who had the same theory." his wife explained to their friends.

Did Yon Know That-Cooling of the engine oil, now applied to an American passenger car for the first time, originated in Europe? The minimum rightwf-way width In Minnesota, Michigan, Mississippi New Mexico and Wyoming is 100 feet? The highway program looks into the future a considerable distance. One of the most difficult problems confronting the engine designer in th automotive field is charging the cylinders with fuel? Figures Do Not Lie Motorists who have been forced to dawdle along behind heavily laden trucks on rural highways will not believe it, but the long haul constitutes but a small percentage of the total tonnage of freight carried by trucks. In Pennsylvania, for Instance, long hauling constitutes but 6.9 percent of the total. In Connecticut, a smaller State with urban centers' closer together, it is 15.2 percent. In Ohio the proportion is 15.9 percent.

Brighten Bright Parts It pays the motorist occasionally to wipe the face of a brightly finished exterior part. It is highly corrosion-resistant rather than corrosion-proof. One noted metallurgist points out tn this connection that deposits of soot contain substances sulphates and chlorides which act slowly upon these highly resistant metals. Keeping them clean Is Just a matter of wiping them off now and then. (Copyright.

1930.1 light its authority is the intersecting street. Seeks Age of Antique Watch Can you tell me where or how I can get information concerning the approximate age of an antique watch. Is a person who enlisted in the reserve, being too old for regular duty, entitled to a pension? He was honorably discharged. know a man who enlisted during the Civil War and never was called upon to serve, as the war ended before he was needed. He drew a pension for years.

.1 E. R. Some of the older generation of watchmakers should be able to give you the approximate age of your watch, or perhaps some of the experts at the Brooklyn Museum could aid you in determining it. The answer to your second question is no. Timing Cicero Is there any information on the length of time taken by Cicero to deliver his first oration against Cati line? ELIZABETH BALTZ.

There apparently is no record as to the time consumed by the famous orator la his speech. More Coin Values Sought Please tell me if the followinz coins have any value: Liberty penny, 1828, and one of 1825: Canadian half-penny, 1837; Rep. D'Hati deux centimes, 1850. I also have old French coins that I would like to dispose of if they have any financial value. MRS.

E. DUNN. The copper cents you mention are quoted at 10 cents each. So far as we know, the others have no special value. Books on Gardening and Games Where is it possible to secure books on gardening? Books on how to play advanced game of checkers and how to play chess? Rules of various billiard games and informa tion for advanced players? C.

A. G. i The books you mention can be had at almost any large book store, or they can be consulted at the Brooklyn Public Library. Legal Aid Society Will you kindly tell me if the Legal Aid Society, In The Eagle Building, will give ac'vice on any legal matter or if they advise in special cases only? Also, can you tell me what the fee would be? A. B.

C. Advice is given on any legal mat ter for a nominal fee 25 cents. Minutes Report Accepted Please let me know the correct use of the words "accepted" and "ap proved" as set out in the following sentences: "The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted." "The treasurer's report was read and approved." Or, "The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved." "The treajurer's report was read and accepted." MARY E. HALL. The second form is correct.

Some Coal and Cofte Figures Kindly state which has more fuel value per pound, coal or coke. Is coke made from bituminous coal? What are the thickest known seams of anthracite coal? L. E. BARROW. The average tests of coal and coke per pound show: Coal, 13.000 heat units: coke, 12,600 units.

Coke is usually made from bituminous coal. The thickest known seam of coal Is the Mammoth, which at its widest part is SO feet. Volstead Act Vote Will you please give the names and districts of the absentee Democratic representatives from New York when the Volstead act was passed over President Wilson's veto? And also by how much it was defeated. DANIEL O'BRIEN. The vote overriding the President's veto was taken on Oct.

28, 1919, and was as follows: Hoiuc, 178 to 85; Senate, 63 to 20. We have no record of all the Democratic absentees from New York when the vote was taken. Those from Brooklyn and Long Island absent were Hicks, Macerate, Rowe and- Haskell Caldwell, Cullen, Johnson, Maher and Connell (D). Another Holy bland T. writes: I have read with much Interest your reply to "Llam who asked about the history of Holy Island, near Tipperary.

There is, however, such an island as he refers to, although you did not find any reference to it. The Holy Island which "Llam had In mind, and with which I am quite familiar, is in Loch Derg, which forms a part ot the River Shannon It is near Mount Shannon, a pretty little village- about 20 miles from Tipperary and about the same distance from Limerick. The name of the island in the Irish tongue is Inlsh Caltra Holy Island. It Is a very beautiful spot, reached only by boat. The Island has long been used as a burial place and I think is still so used.

There are on it a round tower and the ruins of a church. The present owner Is Mrs. F. Hibbert, who inherited it from her father, a Mr. Reid.

There Is a strong resemblance between the Holy Island L. so thoroughly and that mentioned in the Britannlca. Bui they are widely separated one being in the extreme northeast corner of England and the other in the center of Ireland. We are greatly indebted to T. for informing us in regard to the Holy Island in River Shannon.

Her description most interesting. Editor, "Ques tions Answered." Complains of D. S. C. Please answer the following question: When the men who work on the city ash carts empty the ash can where are they supposed to leave them, on the sidewalk or put them back in the yards? The other night I found my ash can three houses away from my home.

N. E. R. The Street Cleaning Department informs The Eagle that ash cans should be placed by the owner or tenant of the property inside the building line and that the drivers tn the employ of the department have Instructions to replace them they find them. This evidently 13 not always done, but when it is not the orders given the drivers are flagrantly disobeyed.

"In a Friendly Sort o' ay." Perhaps some of the readers of The Eagle, or yourself, may be able to give me the authorship or the name of the poem in which the following lines occur: "When fellow's hand rests upon your shoulder In friendly sort of way." The poem which contains these lines was a great favorite of the late John W. Armour, a former Brooklyn theatrical man and an entertainer, and he recited It many times at publio and private entertainments. I have tried to locate It in some of the works of various writers, James Whitcomb Riley, Eugene Field and others, but so far have been unable to discover it, though I am inclined to believe it has the earmarks of some of our American writers, particularly Riley. Perhaps some of your readers may be familiar with the poem and will oblige me by sending me the desired information. JOSEPH LINDER.

Elks Club, Brooklyn. The poem is undoubtedly Riley's, and we believe the title is "In a Friendly Sort o' Way," but none of the Hoosier Poet's books consulted seem to contain it. We are trusting to some of our helpful readers to locate it and send it in. $2,500, Not $1,500 The exemption of single persons under the State income tax law Is $2,500, not $1,500, as was stated in this column recently. The figure was confounded with the Federal exemption, which is only $1,500.

Eagle Resort Directory Please advise me through The Sunday Eagle "Questions and Answers" column if the Summer Resort and Travel Directory will be published this year. If so, what date? H. E. E. It will appear on Sunday, June 8.

Asked For A reader asks for the words of a poem entitled "Driftwood," the first line of which she says reads, "I feel like one who is watching his own gray shadows fall." We are unable to locate It either by title or first line. Possibly some reader can do so. M. R. requests publication of an old song, the words of which, she says, "go something like Froicgy went a-courtlng; be would ride; Ah huml Ah hum! Bword and pistol by hit tide; Ah burnt Ah hum! The words seem to be familiar but we cannot find them in any collection consulted.

If some of the readers of this column can recall them, we will be glad to print them at the first opportunity. First Stocking Knitting Machine In response to an inquiry by "Curious" we are advised that the first patented stocking knitting machine was one invented by F. Schoitt who was granted Patent No. 22,135, Nov. 23, 1858.

A model of the machine was long on exhibition at the Patent Office In Washington. If "Curious" is In search of further Information on this subject he can obtain it by addressing Mrs. George W. Mears, Cedar Lawn, Cornwall- Ownmrthip Tel. Montclair 1410 'at tlU ATLANTIC CITY.

And it is unusual In many respects other than those commonly pointed out.

Take its attitude in the recent tariff controversy, for instance. Where other Industries have clamored for higher duties on competing products from foreign sources, the American motor car industry has asked for nothing. As a matter of fact, it has welcomed reductions In the levies on foreign cars. Twice In the past 10 years it has seen duties cut. Now they stand at 10 percent, the lowest level ever reached since the industry attained its maturity.

But there has been no complaint, no suggestion of a change. Why should thL be the case? The answer is that, although paying the highest wages for workmen of the classes it employs, the industry is not afraid of foreign competition. Wages are the largest cost factor in motor car production, but the industry has attained to such proficiency with regard to other cost elements that it knows it can outstrip the best accomplishments of any foreign competitor. In many respects, the industry's tariff attitude is one of the most substantial reflections of its remarkable production efficiency. By constantly keeping far ahead in the production of cars, it recognizes its ability to protect Itself.

It needs no assistance from any outside source. At the present moment it can see the need of none in the future. Now Rubber From Oil Oil and rubber ace more or less natural enemies. Motorists know that as a result of the endless warnings they have had to keep oil away from their automobile tires, off ignition cables and other rubber units variously located about the car. All the more surprising then is the news from Moscow that Russian scientists have developed a synthetic rubber from the residue of preto-leum products.

Whatever comes ot It, it Is interesting in the light of general knowledge of the two substances. The Old Mechanic Says: "Make this car easy to drive again." That's an order a chap Just left with me and, in some respects, I regard it as one of the most sensible I've ever gotten from a par owner. Ordinarily, motorists don't come into repair shops or service stations until somethin' more serious than the car's becomin' hard to drive happens. But here's a driver who knows his car doesn't handle like it used to and Intends doin' somethin' about it. Of course there's an explanation for a lot of motorists not doin' likewise.

Usually the change that takes place and makes the car harder to drive is gradual. It Is so little different from day to day that the owner doesn't notice it. Eventually, as a result of this, he'll that the car ever did handle easily Or, in other cases, he doubts that it ever could be made to do so again.
