Parade Precedes Ceremonies for Second Section of Rock-away Prominade. It was a gala day at Rockaway Beach yesterday when thousands of men and women turned out to witness the formal opcnlnj by Borough President George L'. Harvey of the second section of the Rockaway Boardwalk, extending from Beach Slst. to Beach 6Sth Arvernc. Tho ceremony, which took place In the afternoon, was preceded, by a parade participated In by members of all the local civic organizations and followed by a banquet last night at the Prince Hotel at Beach 9th st The entire celebration was under the auspices of the Irving Kline Association of Arverne.

When completed the boardwalk will extend from Beach 12th Rockaway Park, to Beach 21st st Arverne. The first, section, from Beach 12th ot Beach 81st sU was opened last year. Borough President Harvey promised that work on the remaining section, already in prog, resa. would be pushed to completion as soon as possible. At the dinner which wound up the celebration, Mr.

Harvey dellv. ered an address emphasizing the need of Improved rapid transit fa-clllties to bring people to the Rock-aways. Predicting a glorious future for beach resorl. the Borough Prcsi. dent said: "1 hope (o sec the time when, instead of the Rockaways seeking to become a 'second Atlantic it will be Atlantic City that will seek to become a 'second Rockaway The parade formed at Beach fiTtli st.

Pre. ceded by a police escort, the procession moved along the boulevard lo Reach 84th then lo the board-walk and Beach Stst where Mr, Harvey eut the (ape. opening the boardwalk. Among those in the line of march were Highway Commission- er Irviiif- Kline, head of the associa- lion bearing his name; delegations from the Rockaway Beach Board of Trade, I he Far Rockaway Board of Trade, the Frank Avenuo Civic Association, and more than 6011 school children.

Music was provided bv three bands, those of St. Molachy's L. Bible Society Disbands After 114 that they are correct, although we use the larger of the Cine-Kodak outfits equipped with tripod and by cranking the camera by hand we regulate, the speed and the length of film we choose to shoot out-selves. Of course, the smaller of the cameras are all equipped with delicate mechanical devices which show the length of film used and they are minutely regulated as to the proper revolutions. Amateurs' Mistakes A great many amateur motion picture photographers make the mistake of "cutting" the view too quickly.

It should be remembered that the best photos of any vitw or object cannot be taken with -than eight or ten seconds of "shooting." Another feature that, spoils (he reel is the practice to shoot one object and then stop the camera unci then resume the photographing. find in our Long Island nature "shots" that such method of taking movies present a rather uninteresting production that Is weary on tho eyes when projected on the screen. We also find a great, mnny of our amateur movie friends who overdo a view. To securo p-oper results in taking nature pictures a little common sense should 'jo applied, as to the length of time during which a picture is being taken. "Overdoing" a scene Is quite us bud as cutting one too short.

We have ascertained that patience Is more than a virtue in "shootinir" some of our Long Island wild life. The more common specles of bird life, of course, are always easy to secure. But on the oilier band the timid species are quick to take to the wing and we have ofen found our-self shooting an open space where a flock of birds were flitting about quite leisurely a short time before. Reptiles are usually easy to get if they are not alarmed. Garter snakes are about the most, desirable to "shoot." but unless they are found In open spaces it is somewhat difficult to obtain sharp detail because of the shaded effects of trees or shrubbery.

The little hog-nosed snakes, which frequent High Hill Beach in such large numbers, are also easily photographed because of their slowness in movement. Lnter we will write about a whole' day of "shooting" movies of thcae reptiles at that place. Squirrels Ijit "Shots." Squirrels are perhaps the tno.tl easy of all animals to obtain. The chipmunk is also an eaay object. But rabbits are timid and can only be obtained under difficulty.

The same applies to the red fox. Deer can be shot with fair success if the photographer carefully conceals himself and studies his work with caution. We believe that the Interesting study that is offered in amateur motion picture work, particularly In relation to nature study and wild life will cause many schools to establish clubs for this educational entertainment. Later on we will tell of further work in laklug wild life movies on Long Island, for, judging from our mail. II is quite evident that our readers are qtillc Interested in the.

subject. Organized in 1815 It Preceded American B. Sf. With Which It Seeks to Unite. Leaders of Democratic factions In Queens will meet at Democratic headquarters in Long Island City tomorrow or Tuesday night to make further efforts to get together on a harmonious basis.

The meeting will be called by John Theofel, chairman the Democratic County Executive Committee. About. men and women, will be Invited to attend the conference. This meeting and the people who will attend have In a measure been suggested by the friends of Mayor Walker, and there are some who say at his suggestion. At any rate the word has come to Queens that the Mayor' is not favoring any particular leader or faction, but that in any steps that are taken it is his desire that all factions be represented.

This statement has come as a relief to some of the factionists, because of the growing belief that Transit Commissioner Frank X. Sullivan was being singled out for the special attention of the Mayor at this time. So there might be no doubt of the Mayor's attitude, the latter on Friday met several of the leaders from other factions and informed them he was taking the same stand in the Queena situation that he did in the election of the leader of Tammany Hall. He insists that a leader shall be chosen from the ranks of the party and he shall be chosen by the majority vote of all the representative groups in the borough. The Democrats are hoping the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court will speedily hand down a decision on the appeal that was argued before them on Friday from the decision of Justice May, restraining County Chairman Butler from.

Frederick W. James, of 766 Seneca Ridgewood, a member of the regular Republican organization, yesterday was appointed by Borough Secretary John Karle to the position of Assistant Superintendent of Street Cleaning, to succeed William T. Steveiison, who was removed In April following a hearing by Borough President George Harvey, who charged him with neglect of duty. Though the position pays an annual salary of $4,250. som difficulty was experienced in filling the job.

County Leader Joseph l)e Bragga had opportunity of filling the post, but declined. Is significant, how Patchogue, June 15. After 114 years of service on the island, the Long Island Bible Society this week voted to dissolve and to take steps to merge its activities with those of the American Bible Society at the last semi-annual meeting held here in the Congregational Church. Howard Conklin was appointed secretary with power to carry out the legal steps necessary to dissolve the 'society. Formed in 1815 the Long Island Bible Society is probably the oldest organization on the island in addition to being the oldest Bible society in the country, the American Society, regarded as the parent organization, not having been formed until some years after the local one.

PELLETREAU IVES Mays, the nature lover photographer can secure most unusual "shots." i Equipped with our motion picture outfit we have I succeeded In ob- raining an assortment of shots of birds, animals and reptiles the past week along the Sunrise Trail which we hope-will prove pretty near perfect.

The developing pro cess usually takes several days and thus we are awaiting with keen enthusiasm the return of our work. L. I. Fields Profitable Long Island offers unusual advantages to the amateur motion picture photographer to secure an assortment of most interesting and entertaining pictures. Indeed, we have found that stalking wild life along the Sunrise Trail with the movie camera offers up new advantages for Sport and entertainment far surpassing taking of "stills." 'The recent Improvement by the Eastman Kodak Co.

of the panchromatic or colored film has added another new feature to nature motion picture photography. We predict that it will not be far oft when every nature lover will be turning his or her efforts to colored motion pictures since this work presents an exact replica of the woodlands and its nativo denizens in natural colors. Our own Cine-Kodak, while not up to date In more modern improvements, has produced almost unbelievable results in nature photography. Since a recent article written on the subject we have received many communications from Interested renders seeking some, advice on the best methods of securing "shots" of more or lest! timid species-of wild life. Our own experience has convinced us that little results can be obtained in the way of "shooting" birds and animals without the aid of the telephoto lens.

The f.1.9 lens, of course, is six times faster than the f.3.5. but the f.4.5 telephoto lens is far more efficient than either of these two previously mentioned lenses and in efforts to secure motion pictures of such species as the meadow lark, the martin or the swallow. It is almost impossible to produce a real sharp, detailed view without a lens that will enlarge the oblect several times its normal size. Some of our mature motion picture associates have declared that thev have secured favorable resulls vvltii the motor operated camera, and there every reason to believe NEWCOMBE PLANS TCAMP Barbecue to Feature Pilgrimage to Wading River Thursday.

Hundreds of private horns own era In central and southern Queens will face a serious predicament when Improvements are brought Into those motions, because most of the houses 1 are below the legal street grades. Outcries from some sections already hit by this condition have brought I out the Information that a great many will In, time find themselves In the same situation with nothing to help them but the eventual necessity and expense of raising their bouses from two to six feet about prtsent foundations, i Residents along 114th between New Yorkave. and ISOth st, In the St, Albans and Alban Manor sections, recently have been affected and have been desperately trying to get When a sewer was laid in 114th the surface of the street was raised six feet and it was discovered that a majority of the houses along the street had been built on the ground surface and were consequently much below the established grade.

Efforts to get relief In this and other cases have met with discouraging success. The borough engineers and the Topographical Bureau can offer little assistance out of the dilemma. On 114th ave. it has been possible to lower the grade as much as two feet, but the engineers point out that this is not always possible, because the grades were established in accordance with the drainage plan, which cannot be changed since it is adapted to the topograhy of the land. Many Owners Will Be Hit The position that hundreds of home owners will find themselves inl in tits near future is that of being so far below the street that they I use the sanitary sewers that I they will have to pay for.

The only I "remedy will be In raising the entire house, and in many instances tier expense will be entailed by the necessity of raising the sidewalks. I many of which have been laid on the existing surface. I "This is one of the sad and un-I fortunate things about the development of Queens County." Charles U. Powell, engineer in charge of the Topographical Bureau in Queens for I many years, said. "Hundreds of small homes were built by specnla--jJorg who constructed them without any regard for the legal grades and unloaded them on ignorant people, i most of whom came to Queens from other sections.

Those especially who came from apartment house sections didn't know enough to in- quire about the grades of the houses. "Many have put their entire capi-, tal in small home and are strug gling to pay for it out of their salaries. Now, in addition to 'having to pay for local improvements, they will discover that they will have to Rpend from $300 to $1,000 to raise their house, build up the foundations, fill In their lots and replace sidewalks. "We are trying In every way we can to help them, but there's really I nothing that we can do. In a few I instances we can change the grades a foot or two, but usually not enough to help the condition materially.

"Central Queens In Worst Plight "Central and southern Queens will i he hardest hit, for this is a section I developed within tho past few years on a mushroom scale, with, homes I for people of moderate means. The I topography of- the area is low, be ing in some instances sand depressions or swamp lands. It has been necessary In many cases to raise the surface of the streets from two to six and more feet in order to 'get drainage in the sewers and have sufficient covering of earth on top of them. It would be hard to estimate the number of houses affected, but it is considerable. "The condition Is most chronic In Instances where former estates or large farms were cut up into lots and made into small homes developments.

In some of these cases no crude maps had been prepared and there was no way to control the buildings, since It was alb private property. We could have mapped the grades that the streets would be when title was acquired by the city, but by the time that was done most of the houses had been sold, Now when it comes time to put in city improvements In, these streets, the owners of those houses will find they bought a cat in the bag. "A recent ordinance now makes every builder erect his house on the proper grade, but this cannot repair the damage done heretofore. It behooves anyone buying a home in any part of Queens to look the matter of grades. "A buyer knows enough to have his title searched by.

a title guar. snlee company. It's just as impor. tant, to have an engineer search the grade records and make sure the building was built in accordance with the official maps. This In formation Can be obtained from the Topographical Bureau or the Build lug Bureau, and while it's free, it may save tho prospective home owner hundreds of dollars that are not in the sale price of his home.

Some Honscs on Bills Affected. "Even If a house is build on a hill that's no assurance It's all right. There la one instance In Queens where a hill will have to be cut down about SO feet on the street, to conform with the damage plan, Houses on the edge of this street at the top of the hill will be In a sad piighi." Andrew Johnson, engineer of jslghways in Queens, has about, the 'me to any. as also does William shop, engineer In charge of sewers, "Hundreds of people in Queens 'taken In' by the speculative Ideas, who threw up large num. of houses without regard to of the street or without conning the time when l-nprove-'s such as sewers 1 paved ways will iio put.
