WASH BASIN LOaiO
An isaue bas arisen in Patchogue between Mias King, school principal, and James and Katie Ambrosia, aged eight and twelve respectively, as to whether the principal has the right to direct and the authority to put into effect an order that children shall be washed before they come to school.
It is alleged, and proof is submlttde. to back the allegation, that the young Ambrosias flnd no interest whatever in washbasins and as for soap they are pronounced agalnat It. The elder Ambrosias, while not objecting to washing as an in.itUutlon, hold that James and Katie need not take the trouble to immersu their faces and hands; if the school authorities desire to wash Jaiues and Kat'e the school Is permuted to do fo.
The Ambrosias have succesHfully held their positions and Buccesefully defeated the teacher, the town con¬ stable, the health offlcer, the judge and tbe prosecuting attornfy. Now Patchogue warns the Ambrosias to be¬ ware lest thc flre dc-partmcnt, the po¬ lice department, the civic Boclety, the town Improvement league, the sheriff and the court attendant rise In their wrath and drag James and aKtle un¬ der the village pump and destroy what,

OBEYXMO OHOEaS
Orders are made to be obeyed, but to tbe person of good common sense there is always given a latitude of in¬ terpretation, to the end that the spirit, rather than the letter, of the order may be applied.
A case in point is tbat of Mrs. Rob¬ ert Uoile, of Roosevelt, who with her I'ttle daughter arirved on Tuesday from Europe ou tbe steamship Olym- pl&

WATERFRONT KIOHTS
Tho beach and waterfront rights of Long Island towns should be kept sa¬ cred for the people. Every town ought to have such fishti'rs for the peojile's rights as Oyster Bay. Individuals have a hard time of it over on tho North Shore wh"n they set out to establish private claims over public waterfronts.
Whitestone now faces an Ispue of the sort. F. Augustus Schermerhorn has caused two lines of barbed wiro fence, 1,000 feet In length to be strung from the end of the stone walls on either side of his estate to the water front. As Schermerhorn owns mosf

Some weeks ago,bellevlng that a long sea trip would help tbe lltUe one, and baving bisters in Australia.^ Mrs. Hoile boarded the* Olympic and started on tbe first stage of ber long trip.

Thereupon she (ook pas¬ sage on tbe Olympic back to New York, and wben she arrived found tbat sbe might be sent to Ellis Island, witb possible deportation facing her and her cbild because of tbe condition of tbe cbild.

She has given the public access to her beach and has openly express¬ ed her sympathy with the residents of Whitestone in the feelinc; aroused against the barbed, wii e barriers erect¬ ed by her neighbor, Schermerhorn.
The board of directors of the White¬ stone improvement Association is shortly to call a special meeting to 1 take action toward having the Scher¬ merhorn fence removed. It Is point¬ ed out that thc people of Roslyn, Port Washington, Great Neck and Manhas¬ set recently proved in court that the

It was the flrst occasion since his return frtm the wilds of Brazihan jungles that he formally and In great detail retraced his wanderings through the unknown wilderness of the tropics. The gathering that heard him wa.^ made up largely of members of the American Geograplhcal Society and guests, leaders In the political and social life of the capitoi and else¬ where.
The chart to which the Colonel re¬ ferred showed In dotted lines the nev water course which'he declares he lit¬ erally "put on the map." At the be¬ ginning of bis talk the Intrepid Col¬ onel warned bis auditors that his speech might be dry, because it wao devoted to a geographical subject, but he deiiiied to dp.sciibe with scientlflc perci.slon exactly what had been doue.
All that had boen arcomplished in the field of exploration, Colonel Roo.se- velt added, was doue by building on what had been accomplished by ear¬ lier explorers. Hs paid a tribute to the hardy men who preceded Peary to the Arctic regions and the Portu¬ gese and Spanish tailors who preced¬ ed Columbus. "I could have done nothing In South America if It had not been for the work done by scores of other men during years that have passed, espeolaly during the last sev¬ en or eight yeara," he said.
The hail was filled long before the Colonel arrived, ^^¦hen he reached the platform a chorus of cheers that
"It will mean risk and hardship. I will give bim letters to assist blm to \ get the canoes and the rowers tbat will enable bim to ascend as far as the lowest of the uppermost rapid and come back again, covering two- thirds of the distance and going up to the tenth degree."
Afler givmg a detailed accotmt of the early stai^e.-i of the trip, the Colon¬ el came to lne .story of accidents.
"We had Kone not more than a sixth of a distance that we expected to go." he said, "and had used up about three- lourih.s or four-fifths of our food; had been ou half rations pretty much all the limes, eked out with parrots and monkeys which we enjoyed there.

Colonel Roosevelt presented the let- tor, which was a condensed scientific account of the course tat«n by tbe expedition.
"We started up the Parasjuay, hunt¬ ed around there aud ihea sirucK across country on mule back." contin¬ ued the Colonel. "It is almost impos¬ sible for uie to show you on these standard maps, wiiat 1 did, because they are so preposterously wrong. Kor iusiance, theie are the he;idwaters of the Tapajox de Juruana.
