music and spoken words of a weird and un-

TONGUES THAT SPEAK UNDER WATER.


At the same time a tongue that will speak
under water is being fitted to each lightshp on
the sea, Gulf and lake coasts of this country
| This is the clapper of bell of very high pitch
lowered over the side of the vessel by davit
matte power supplied through a hose or by
lightship is a code ringer" which automatically
tolls, on the bell, the code number Of the light
ship. In other words each lightship gives a
certain number of beats by which il is known
! to the navigator These beats on reachtne +ba
eardrumS of the passing vessel, are magni-
| fed by their microphones and transmitted to tha

one receiver connects with the port eard11m
and the other with that the starbOard side
| By means of a switch either the port or star
board microphone can be connected with the
receiving telephones. On the dial there is a
direction indicator, showing to which side
the telephones are connected. The two ear
pieces are always connected together either to
the port or starboard microphone, and when the
sound of the distant lightship's submarine bell
is faint and 1t Is desired to shut out all other
noises, both are used at once. or in ordinary
cases either may be used separately as in the
accompanying photograph.
The position of the Iightship is estimated
simply by comparison Of the sounds coming
| from the two microphones. If the port micro
| phone gives louder sound of the distant sunken
bell than does that to starboard then the light
ship beating its code number is on the port
side of the ship. When the navigator gets the
7 same intensity Of sound from both port and
starboard he knows he is head on for the light
snip. Direction can thus be obtained within a
half point OF the compass. Hence in black
weather each lightship may be distinguished
and located by its bell. just as in clear weather
IL can be distinguished and located by the num-

What State Editors are Saying I
Resign or Keep Out


In the days of conventions in this
state it was not an unusual thing for
an office-holder to become a candi-
date for another, or higher position
and at the same time continue to dis
charge the duties of his Office, and
several public officers have done this
since the primaries have been in
vogue, but the Journal believes that
the principle is wrong, and now be-
fore the campaign opens is going to
urge that all those public officials
who intend becoming candidates for
| higher, or different positions should
| resign their present offices when they
| begin upon the active work of their
campaign.
A state official cannot properly at
tend to his official duties and at the
same time conduct vigorous CAM
| paign; either one or the other will
suffer, and it is only reasonable to
suppose that the campaign work will
receive his first and best attention.
To properly conduct a campaign re-
quires the work of extra stenograph-
ers, mailing clerks, etc, and it is not
supposed that these clerks witt do
this work in the offices of the candi-
dates or in the state capitol. They
must be provided with headquarters
elsewhere, and wherever these head
quarters are the candidate or candi-
dates will spend most of their time.
The same reasons that apply to a
state official in this connection are
also true of state house clerks who
become candidates for state offices.
They cannot work for themselves
and the state at the same time, and
whenever one enters upon cam
paign for one of these offices he
should be made to resign. These
clerks should do this out of consider
alton for their superiors, if for no
other reason.
The Journal does not advocate this
proposition because it has any inter-
est in any of those officials or clerks
who have already announced that
they would become candidates in the
next primaries, but because it be-
lieves that it is the proper thing to
do.
The Journal began the agitation Of
this subject more than five years ago
when Attorney-General Lamar re-
fused to resign his position on be-
coming a candidate for congress, and
while General Lamar was elected,
he would have made a better race
and secured bigger vote if he had
resigned his position as attorney
general as the Journal called on him
to do at the time.
The paper advocated this same
proposition then-five years ago-and
it advocates it for the same reason
now.-Pensacola Journal.

WIN SUCCESS IN NURSING
The Best Paying Occupation
Free Scholarships

Nursing the sick is perhaps the
most attractive field for the ambi-
tiOus woman who would win success
and make the most of life. 1t is a
refined occupation. 1t gives skill to
the hand and grace to the heart. 1t
is the best paying occupation now
open to women, and presents an
overwhelming field of Opportunity.
The call for nurses is a Worldwide
call. 1t is the one calling which is
not over crowded.
The demand for skilled nurses in
creases with the years. Thousands
of young women have the natural
graces OF the skilled nurse, but have
never had chance to cultivate
them, and so have been prevented
from improving their own condition
and blessing the race. But a new
day has dawned. Large hearted
philanthrOpists have opened wide
the door of opportunity at the Phila-
delphia School for Nurses, 22l9
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
a Two Years Free Course has been
established at this Institution.
wherein the student is provided with
room, board, laundry, nurse uni
forms. and all the refinements of
good home, with suitable training.
instruction and actual nursing in the
homes of the poor and amCng peo-
pie of moderate income. and at the
end of the course the students fare
home is paid.
The term can be shortened to
eighteen months by a course of six
months reading and study at home
a course which is very valuable in
itself, Hundreds of young women,
scattered all over the county, are
started in the work, becoming not
only self-supporting, but a boon to
their respective neighbOrhoods.
A short course is also provided |
for the woman who wishes to quickly !

Whole Truth Vented

The committee appointed by the
last legislature to make a bedrock
investigation of all the affairs of the
Board of Internal Improvements and
turn the full light on all its transac-
tions has convened in Tallahassee
and gone to work. Let us hope that
the investigation will be thorough
and impartial so that the people may
know once for all if there has been
any breach of trust or neglect of
duty during all these years by pub
lie servants entrusted with such
large powers. Let us have the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.-Live Oak Democrat.

An Unpopular Chord

| When the main cause for the raise
in the state tax becomes generally
understood the papers that are max
ing so much ado about it are likely
to find that they have struck upon a
very unpopular chord. The state tax
was raised one and one-half mills.
This means that the man who pays
taxes on an assessment of one thOus-
and dollars will pay Sl.5O more taxes
to the state than he paid last year,
One mill, or $l.00 on the thousand, OF
this raise is for pensions to our Con-
federate soldiers and their widows.
Surely taxes could not be levied for
a more worthy purpose and we doubt
if any member of the legislature
feels one whit of regret that he voted
for more liberal treatment of the
men who went forth in the COS to
offer their lives as a willing sacrifice
on the altar of our country. At least
here is one who has no apology to Of
fer for voting for the insignificant
raise in taxes in order that these
noble old soldiers might be made to
feel that time has not dimmed tie
lustre of their patriotic deeds and
that their state is willing to contrib
ute to the comfort of their declining
days. Far from being in the least
regretful for that vote this writer is
proud of it-proud that he had the
opportunity to vote for the most
liberal offering ever made by the
state of Florida to its Confederate
soldiers.-Speaker Matthews in the
Bradford County Telegraph.

Is Chivalry Dead?-

Is Chivalry dead in the south, as
has been charged? Not much. In
the great prohibition fight in Val
dosta Monday two brass bands had
been imported by the whiskey peo-
pie to whoop up the boys and make
things lively. But when the band
men saw the grand demonstration of
the good women of that city, heard
jtheir songs and prayers and noted
the tears in their eyes they weaken
ed in the cause in which they had
been hired; and when those same
women with soft, pleading voices
told them to please go away aud not
help in the fight against their homes
and all they held dearest, the musi-
clans broke down entirely and fold
ing their horns like the Arab, quietly
stole away. If that wasn't chivalry
it was something equally as good

because SCHNAPPG cheers them

THE PATRIOTS OF PEACE

Perhaps you remember what Sher
man said about war? 1t also applies
to Independence day and the pop
ping, roaring, cracking, whooping
exploding that drives some folks al
most to insanity and means that we
are nation of patriots and are SO
glad of it that every year we burn
tons of powder and MAIN, mutilate
and cripple between 1900 and 5000
human beings-mostly boys.
And the popular idea of patriot
ism is war. We are glad we fought
or that our ancestors fought, and
the hair bristles on the back of our
necks, and We feel, by hoky. that
we can fight again and that the for
signers from Vladivostock to LAndon
town had better keep off the toes of
your Uncle Samuel, HUH
All right. The navy is growing
and we are spending millions for tar
get practice and more millions for
great guns. But let's hope hard that
there will never be another war, and
that widows and orphans will never
again be made in a strife with other
nations or at home. God grant it, is
the prayer of the millions.
A patriot isn't necessarily a soldier.
A man doesn't have to storm fort
to prove that he loves his country.
That kind of bravery is fine. 1t gets
into the papers and there is thrill
of pride even in the later days when
flowers are strewn on graves and
women in black weep.
But don't you forget that there are
more patriots today than ever be-
fore. There are millions of them.
They are behind counters and in
shops and factories; they are tilling
farms and running locomotives.
They are not thinking much about
war. They have no hatred in their
hearts.
And how is it that they are pa
triots? Because they are trying to
do their full duty as American citi-
zens. That is how. They toll till
their backs are stopped and their
hands gnarled and knotted. They
rear homes and honor good women.
They bring up children and educate
them. They do not hesitate to deny
themselves to the end that those
who come after them shall find
greater opportunity and fill better
place in the affairs of the world than
did their parents.
They are the fathers and mothers
of progress. They are the bone and
blood and sinew that make this ma
ton strong, They are the living eX-
ponents of charity, decency, energy
and human love, and they are
stronger than the combined armies
and navies of the world.
And so, while the explosions in
memory of '76 were shaking the
earth yesterday, you had reason to
be glad that you are worthy men,
Der of that great army-the patriots
of peace. God guide them all.
