EXFERDSNCE OF OCEANSIDE IS SIMILAR TO TEAT OF THE OTHER FROORESSIVE SOUTH SHORE VILLAGES.
The south shore of Long leland has never lessened Its efforts in behalf ot .a thorough waterway, and provisions constantly are being made to meet any legislative move in the direction of an appropriation to complete the work.
In this connecti«n It is Interesting to note the receht appropriation by the town of Hempstead to dredge out Bast Rockaway creek. For some time the village officials of East Rockaway and the Oceanflide board of trade have been urging this measure. The chan¬ nel will be dredged to a depth of six feeet at low tide and widened to 50 feet. The basin at the head of the stream also will be dredged.
This stream will then be navigable for all kinds of craft. Including the larger m^utorboats. It also will he of inestlmedile benefit to Oceanside, Lyn¬ brook, Rockville Centre and East Rockaway, which towns adjoin this waterway.
The excellent water facilities of the eouthern part of Nassau county have made Oceanside and Its surroundings a popular summer place. The de¬ velopers have met this situation by laying out their properties In park- like formation for convenience and beauty and In building as close to the navigable streams as poaiilble. At Oceanside Park also this scheme has heen carried out. The Oceanside Im¬ provement Company reports an acti* selling season, with a volume con¬ siderably greaiter than in the corre¬ sponding period last year.

Combustion, due to gasoline fumes, last Thursday caused a flre which damaged the residence of Fred¬ erick W. Herbert on Orand avenue, about |2,000. Mr. Herbert, a decor¬ ator, at 316 East Fifty-third street. New York city, is a connoisseur and collector of antique furniture. His home contained a quantity of val¬ uable pieces.
He and his wife recently went to Vermont for a vacation. Last Thurs¬ day several workmen were cleaning the antique furniture with gasoline wben suddenly tbere was an explo¬ sion and spread of flames. The flre was extinguished after the interior of the house had been gutted and most of the furniture ruined.
The special removal saie of the Hil¬ ton Company announced in the last iseue of The Nassau Post and re-an¬ nounced in this issue of the paper has taken this village and the sur¬ rounding communities by storm. The management of the large Brooklyn store telegraphed this morning that oVer twenty-flve of the coupons print ed in the advertisementB had been re¬ deemed aiid that they were atill com¬ ing in. The sale has become a com¬ mon topic of conversation among the business men and their associates.
The Hilton Company is one of the most reliable concerns in New York City with large retail stores In prac¬ tically every part of the city. The stock which they carry Is absolutely the best and would not be sold for less than the regular prices at this time except for a change in location.
In their advertisement printed in this issue they make the eame gener¬ ous offer as last week. The reduction of 50 per cent, will hgld good during the next week. The coupon is printed In the right hand corner of tho page; with the purchase of a suit it is worth the price of carfare both ways. Twenty-flve have already taken ad¬ vantage of the opportunity to buy a good suit cheap as well as to enjoy a day in the city free of charge.
In conjunction with the sale the Hilton Company has arranged with G. Howard Randal of the Crystal Theatre so that once a montli for the next year a suit wlll be given away for 10 cents. A duplicate cou¬ pon is given when tickets for the mov¬ ing picture show are purchased. On the evening of the I8th of August one of the coupons will be drawn from the box by a patrons of the the atre and he or she wlll be awarded the suit.
Several of the suits are on exhibi¬ tion at the Crystal Theatre in one of the most attractively, decorated win dows in the village. /

SECRETART LATE MATOR GAT- NOR WAGES CAMPAIGN FOR VOTES. •^•c-«=^ '
One of the most important develop¬ ments in the suffrage campaign on Long Island is the appearance ot d woman speaker who bids fair to be¬ come an important factor in the votes for women movement before election day. She Is Mrs. Jeanne Marion Doane of Oceanalde, who is working under the direction of the Empire State campaign committee. Her fav orite topic is the child labor problem, and as she has been a child laborer herself her talk is convincing. Her last position was confidential steno grapher to the late Mayor Gaynor.
Mrs. Doane first studied stenography One of the first positionB she held was with John Archbold of the Standard Oil Company. Then she became steno¬ grapher to the United States District Court in Brooklyn, the first woman to hold such a position. Then she went to the New York custom house in a confldential capacity. All this time she was studying law and when sho left the government siervke she took up Its practice until the iate Mayor Gaynor was elected. An early mar¬ riage brought to her a son, who man¬ ages her immense farm at Oceanside, just back of Long Beach.
Born in Denmark of intellectual parents, Mrs, Doane came to this country as a child with her mother and two sisters. The mother re¬ ceived a governmental hint that ber advanced Ideas were not acceptable, so the family left Copenhagen very suddenly. The famliy lived in the foreign quarters of Ohicago, New Or¬ leans, St. Louis and finally New York. They were poor. Thus Mrs. Doaen received little or no schooling, but she did gain the child labor experience.
Her desire to learn tbe language cauaed her to memorize long passages of Shakespeare, Dickens and Shelley, and these masters, studied word by word, have given her a fluency of speech.
The inborn spirit of agitation that had caused her another's practical de¬ portation broke Its bonds this year, and she became a volunteer speaker for the suffrage cause. Her success has been so unusual that tbe enthus¬ iasts of the soutb shore of Long Isl¬ and have used ber name in para- phase and call her the "Jeanne d'Arc of Suffrage."
Mrs. Poane is proud of tbe fact that she had passed In 1908 a bill that cor¬ rected an evil of the divorce laws— namely, that after the decree had been signed a mother could not open the question of altmoay for the support ot her children, despite her change in
fortune or the increased expense of their maintenance. Mrs. Doane's bill permits this, and now fathers can be compelled to support their children even if no alimony was flrst pro¬ vided.
"Speaking seems to come natural to me, as I suppose it does to every women," said Mrs. Doane, "if the men are to be believed. It must he said, however, that in spite of many year's association with puhlic men. In spite of reporting stenographically a great many political meetings, it was with a great deal of trepidation that I flrst faced an audience a little more than three months ago.
"1 had heard a woman—one of tliose fortunate ones whose life had heen sheltered—express herself in favor of child labor. And so like an inspiration it occurred to me to dis¬ cuss that subject. One need not be ashamed of having been compelled to work as a child, and I did, and the memory of a Ilttle popcorn factory on the lower west side of New York city where I literally slaved from dawn until dark in a dark rear room of a tenement, seldom seeing the sun, has always been with me.
"With all these thoughts eo vividly present. It wasn't hard to tell those kindly women who Invited me to speak something about child labor and what equal suffrage might do to ameliorate sucb conditions.
"After my first talk the women crowded around me and shook my hand, and one dear old Ikdy kissed me on the cheek. The woman who was chairman of the meeting was most enthusiastic and it was her en¬ couragement that led me to continue to talk for the suffrage cause. Since that day there are more demands for talks than I ever Imagined there could be.
"That Issue I consider the most important and one of t^e strongest arguments the suffragists can put forth. If my healthciiolds out I In¬ tend to speak until election day, and I believe sincerely that If we win then the child labor evil will he speedily corrected," j

and laxity In prosecution of malefac¬ tors are man-made conditions which exist today. Next November an ap¬ peal will be made to the voters of New York State, by the women of this commonwealth for equal suffrage—for the right to vote in equality with man. No attempt to divert from the real issue hy a general reflection on the female sex as unqualified is hon¬ est. Such statements come from the one who knows his folks are good enough to vote, but douhts about yours.
The fact remains that while the women of America bear, rear and labor for our welfare, while subjected to taxation without representation (which caused some trouble in 1776), they are entitled to equal suffrage.
The real question is, have you enough confldence in the common sense of yonr mother, wife or sister, to wish her a factor In governing this country—a franchise you give any foreigner (horn perhaps in a hostile country). If here flve years?
