But it has been enforced willingly by the family circle and never through recourse to the courts. The old Her- rick homestead, so frequently enlarged and in parts rebuilt. is on the corner of Main street and the grounds extend along the North Sea road. It was there that Gen. Washington spent two nights as the guest o fthe Willlam Herrick of that day, on his way as commander-in- chiet of the National armed defenses by land and sea to inspect the light- house on Montauk Point. This was in 1793 and Southampton became as fa- mous as Easthampton had been in 1790, when the Father of His Country spent a night at the Lion Gardiner mansion, one of the mellow colonial manors which boasted a guest room with genu- ine Adam furniture and a wash bowl, pitcher and other accessories of sterling silver. This handsome chamber looks much today as in the last decade of the eighteenth century, and the rivalry between Ensthlm;;:.on and Southampton about the beds that Gen. Washington slept in has been an amusing interlude of the past Summer. But the carefully compiled Washington diaries are the last recourse in these controversies and both little villages of Long Island are assigned a place in the sun with the grn);:r dates of these slumberous inci- ents, Somme Battle Film Missing. Disappearance of the official British War Office film of the Battle cf the Somme recently has started a feverish .search for what is considered the most | historic film ever taken. It is now the property of Dr. Distin Maddlock, who was Army staff photographer during the ‘World War and has not been shown in public for 12 years. The film was placed in Dr. Maddick’s safe and during his severe iliness four years ago was re- moved by others to comply with new municipal regulations compelling re- | moval of all films to roofs of houses in which they were stored. When the doctor asked for the property a few | days ago it could not be found. The | | film consists of 20 reels and shows the | attack of July 1, 1916, “mopping up” by | the Royal Fusiliers and many other dramatic_incidents. 1 - Tae HecHt Co. “F Street at Seventh” | | Simmons, Makers of the Famous Beautyrest Mattress, Revolutionize the Mattress Industry With This Sensational SIMMONS DEEPSLEEP An Inner Spring Mattress of Beauty, Comfort and Resiliency .
