YEARS BRING ADDED CHARM
Most Attractive of American Women,
It la Declared, Are Those Who
Have Passed First Youth.
There nre mnny pcnjilo who hold that the most Inturestiiig uud attrac¬ tive of all American women Is the j woman who has piussed her flrst youth. • The years have brouRht much more to this woman than thoy have taken from her, says Vogue. She has ac¬ quired mental and physical poise, a knowledge of how to deal with the i world, charm—oh, any amount of i charm—and an ability to bring out her good points and to conceal her deficiencies.
She la delightful to meet and charm¬ ing to look npon, ^d she dresses virith ; a stibtlety and skill tbat Is well worth | careful study. In the small arts of dress, which are so Important In their significance, she Is past mistress. Her clothes are designed with a sure knowledge of line, and the details of her toilette are Interesting subjects to consider. Her hats are always be¬ coming, chlck,^ and worn in the most effective manner. In the daytime she j Is smartly veiled, and at night she is | perfectly colffed. Her Jewels are not | merely ornaments; they are the one j thing needed to complete her costume; I they emphasize a contour or conceal a line, or bring out the delicate tones of the skin or tbe glossiness of the hair.
The Board of Supervisors are h<i^p*- ful of obtalninjf favoraible action from he .State Board of Health oo the rpr.immendation rrtAde to the body ..i-.al tramps and other short term prisoners in the county jail be tran*- Terred to A\e farm upon which the (k)unty Ti^TCulosia' Hospital will be built, so that these prisoners can be utili7.ed in cultivatintf the farm of nearly one hundred acres and aid in getting tbe site ready for the con¬ struction of the new hospital.
If the State Board approves of this oiari, it will probably mean tbat the insistent demands the State Pris¬ on Commission has been making for extensive additions to the present county jail will be temporarily and perhaps permanently withdrawn; in addition, Nassau County will be spar¬ ed the expense of building a new jail room a/t a cost of nearly $75,000.
Oflicials who have studied the scheme to transfer prisoners to the tuberculosis farm figure that enough men could be provided to cultivate suflicient ground to supply the in¬ mates of the |iospital with food the yaar around, and that there would be ample produce to sell so that the re¬ turn could be used in paying for seed atKi fertilizer.
Anent the tiuestion of moving pri.s- (URTs tx) the farm at Plnin Edge, the .Supervisors and the State Prison Commissioners have held several hearings and indulged in an exchange of ideas through correspondence had (luring the past year. At one hear¬ ing, recently, when tiie subject of en¬ larging the jail came up. Supervisor Smith suggested to the Commission- er.s th.it it might be well to hold up extensive altoration.s to tho jail un¬ til the (jucition of whether nation- wiile prohibition ia to go into elFect. '.s decided.
The Supervisor pointed out that those who have made a study of the relation of intemperance to crime claim that a large percentage of crim¬ inals owe their downfall to drink. He asked the Commissioners if they did chase, or lease and equip farms to keep at work the inmates of the jails. It was further recommended that in- .stitutions give .serious consideration to the question of preserving surplus fruits and vegetables by the drying process.
In respon.'fe to this communication. Supervisor Smith on January ISth, wrote to John F. Tremain, Secretary
of tha 9tate Priaon Oaaimiaaien, In part aa foUonn:
"Your letter of Janoary 15, witfi eopy of a reaoltrtioa adopted at a meetinir held ot^ January 8, received.
"In reply bejj to advise that the County of Nasaau haa had the use, through the courtesy of the Crarden City Company, of atrout 12 acres of land adjoining the jaiL This bas been cultivated hy the jail inmates which with the work ^e have been doing on the Cout^ Hou.<ie (Jrounds has kept the pooiulntion busy. Last year we gathered 215 barrels of po¬ tatoes, 10 barrels beets, 12 barrels carrots, 6 barrels <)nions, 7,000 cab¬ bages. In addition we provided tho jail with sweet corn, lettuce and veg¬ etables in season. If we have sufb- cient men to work more of the land it can be secured from the Garden Cily Conipany.
"As you are aware, the county has purchased a farm of 100 acres as a site for a tuberculosis hospital. If, in the judgment of the State Board of Health, it would be desirable to cm- ploy men on thin farm, and we have the inmates to do it, we should be glad t» take up the matter with them. At the present time the population of our jail is 54, against approximate¬ ly 108 of a year ago."
The letter concludes with the as¬ surance that the Board of Supervi¬ sors are disposed to co-operate with the state ofTicials along the linea laid down in the resolution mentioned.
Regarding the possil>ility that enough men will not be available to work ov the farms this sea.=on, .Sher¬ iff Seaman said that this winter there are not over thirty short term prison¬ ers in f-e county jail. In the summer months, accordinR to the Sheriff, there are only about ten men who aro serviceable in the prison garden. The Sheriff believes, however, that a number of men who are unable to work in the garden could work on the tuberculosis farm if machinery is provided, since most of the work on the Mineola farm is done by hand, and conse<]uently i.s more laboriou;- than that performed with the aid of machinery.
Sheriff Seaman also- i>elie\es that ; a number of men who are now sent to Blackwell's Island at the expense ' of the county could be sent to the '• county jail and then transferr?d to; the tuberculosis fnrm. The Black- i Well's Island authorities will not take prisoners sentenced for less than six¬ ty days, and there seems to be no rea.son why some of those sent there could not be committed to Mineola if there .should prove to be a shortage of men for the new county farm. This arrangement would also effect a de¬ cided saving for the county.
The Una fn«etin« of tha Chaataa- flnia Guarantors was held in the Club Parlors on Wednesday eveninif to di§- cnss the pr«limft»aries of the coming evMTt to be held in our village at a date to be named Uter.

If a large attendance and hearty co-operation is inlicalive^of the suc¬ cess of a project, surely the coming I Chautauqua will be one of the biggest I successes scored in Rockville Centre in 1 many years.

FROCK FOR EARLY SPRING
Between fifty and sixty business men of Rockville Centre gathered on Monday evening in the village office to continue the formation of a busi¬ ness men's association so well begun the week preceding by Village Presi¬ dent Edwin G. Wright.
President Wright acted as tempor\ ary^ chairman and stated that he de¬ sired to express his personal appreci¬ ation of the spirit shown by the bus¬ iness men, and he believed the exam¬ ple set would be followed by other villages with good results.
The following committee was ap¬ pointed to retire and consider nomina¬ tions for president of the association: F. C. Habl), Jr., L. H. Schneider, Cornelius Carman, A. Tworoger, Robi- ert H. Taylor. When they returned they unanimously reported the nomi¬ nation of L. H. Schneider for pres¬ ident, and he was elected by acclama¬ tion. In accepting the nomination he said: "I will try to do the best I can, but I doubt if I can make as good as my temporary predecessor."
Other officers elected subject to re¬ port of the committee on by-laws were: vice president, .\. Tworoger; j-ecording secretary, F. C. Haab, Jr.; financial secretary, Herbert Agad- stoin; treasurer, Emil H. Ileger.
Messrs. Robt. H. Taylor, Edwin G. Wright, Archer B. Wallace, Nelson Hicks and Otto Konke were appointed a committee on by-laws. The presi¬ dent was directed to appoint a com¬ mittee of three to look after the clos¬ ing of business in the village, receive complaints and make notes of those who were not obeying, and report to the association; committee, Emil K. Heger, Honry Berger, Otto C. Konke.
Each member of the association* was appointed as a member of the or¬ ganization committee to notify all business men not yet members as to what action the organization had tak-' in up to the presj.'nt time and invite iheni to become membc'rs. I
Another interesting phase of the law requiring that all dogrs be licensed has arisen during the i>ast week, and this time Town Clerk Gilbert, who has acted as final arbiter of all ques¬ tions relating to the particular appli¬ cation of the law, has written to the State Agricultural Department to have the question settled. Not that the Town Clerk is unable to interpret the law, but he wants to find out how elastic it might be and if it can be stretched to relieve the predicament that George F. Biggers, of Baldwin, has found himself in since a kind friend made him a Christmas present of a 4 1|2 months old puppy. The law plai;ijy says that breeders need not take out licenses until their dogs are si.\ months old, but that persons who through gift, or purchase, ac¬ quire possession of a dog are sub¬ ject to pay a license fee when said dogs are Jour months old br over. Biggers owned a full grown dog last summer, but someone stole the animal before iLs owner could get a license out for it. Several days ago when Biggers got a notice from the Agri¬ cultural Department that he had not paid his dog Jftense he thought it re¬ ferred to the puppy, whereas it was really issued for the stolen dog. Of course the puppy was not listed under Biggers' name when the dog census was taken last June, so no one would have known that Biggers had a new dog had he not told the Town Clerk about it and asked to have its status ''¦'ir,',"!. The question now is: Will Biggers be compelled to take out a 1917 dog tax license for the six re¬ maining weeks when the 1917 dog tax will be in force, or will the powers at Albany decide that he can wait until March 1 and take out a 1918 licen.se. Perhaps Biggers' honesty in itdmitting that he has another dog will have some weight with the Agri¬ cultural Depart c-.t, and they will permit his dog t - ^m unlicensed for the remaining six weeks. In this con¬ nection it can be r'\id that after March 1 the tax to be paid by dog owners will be levied with regard to the portion of the yf,'ar that the dot' is owned when the animals are not jiosses.sed for a full year.
