Gov. Broward has vetoed the state
printing bill. This measure was a
plain business law that in operation
would permit the states printing to
go to the lowest responsible bidder,
whose bid would be accompanied by
certified check for 81 900 and who.
in case of award, would be required
to give bond for faithful perform
ance. 1t was opposed by the present
state printer and the forces of the
administration, but the bill was so
just and business-like in its construc-
ton that it compelled the support of
fair-minded administration senators
and representatives. in sufficient
number to insure its passage by a
small majority. Gov. BrOward gives
as reason for his veto that the bill
did not provide for the work being
done in the state, but in this the
Governor is mistaken. The original
bill did not contain this safeguard,
but this was supplied by an amend
ment offered by Mr.. McWilliams of
ST. Johns, which passed both
houses. 1t was just, business like

THE HOT WEATHER FACE

Yes. the weather is of the warm
variety. 1t needs no thermometer
other than your body to tell that.
But if you were in doubt you could
read it in the hot weather faces about
you.
Look at these faces. Precipitation
stands out in beads, and clothes are
sticky and feet burn; the air is
murky and sweltering humanity
wears frowning visage; mouths
droop at the corners, eyes are glazed
sullenly, humanity gestures in dis
sent.
Look at the faces. Many are re-
reliant countenances. You smile i'll
to them feebly and your smile fades
rs does faint, cooling breeze in the
teeth of sirocco On every brow
is ready-t thunder cloud.
You lose your least tendency to look
pleasant and your temperature goes
up by notches. Presently you are Il
part of the scowling, dissatisfied mob.
You have caught the hot weather
face.
But hold on. There's a face that
is different. 1t is the face of a wo-
man. She is disagreeably hot, like
the others. Her face is undeniably
red, but she is smiling! And her
smile is like the glorious bursting of
the sun from the surrounding clouds.
1t is the smile that won't come off.
What handsome face. And how
ugly the other women are in COM
parison. To be sure, they are good
featured and formed and gowned,
those others; but they are spelling
themselves by the grudge they carry
on their features. And the more
they frown the hotter they get-and
the uglier.
There's another face-a mans. He
perspires and smiles. He mops his
face and his eyes twinkle; he radi-
ates good humor; and he seems IA
mite cooler than the others. He
really is cooler.
Certainly it is hot But there is no
call to add mental to material
warmth. A smile does not make the
temperature bit warmer. 1t may
even cool things some.
Beware of the hot weather face.
Smile, brethren and sisters, smile.
There is both religion and comfort
in a smile.
