OF armed Japanese at the corner Of

side the jugular vein The other two
firemen were frightfully cut about the
arms and breasts, but were still fight

gentleman who overheard their CONVEX

Hzrdwritino.

AS a rule. clear handwriting is more
common with persons who do not write
for a living than with those who do.
Authors, for example. are creating
something when they write; their mind
is concentrated on this creative work;
their thoughts are generally ahead of
their hand, sometimes a whole SEN
tence, and they hurry 10 keep pace
with them. The result is bad hand
writing, but handwriting with individ-
uality in it, if not character. There is
a theory that plain writing is most
easily forged This is not true. OBJ
scUre signatures are most easily forged
and the so called freak signatures.
which nobody can read. easiest of all.
The best signature and the safest for
a man who signs checks is neither too
prim nor too involved; just plain, ev-
eryday writing. done in the easiest
way, according to his temperament.
Such a signature expresses as much
character as any handwriting can. but
it doesn't tell US a thing about the
mans moral makeup; not a thing

An Association
of College Men.

VI SO4ASSS AANA"
The Greek letter fraternity men of
Pensacola will gather tonight at an
outing and big feed on Santa Rosa
Island, with the purpose of organlz-
ing a society to be composed of mem
bers of the various 'frats'' in the city
There is more behind this than the
spirit of good Fellowship which Is one
OF the primary foundations OF all fra
teruStIes. Such an organization can do
much for any city in an economic and
social way, If the members Will make
use of the opportunity that their band
ling together will present.
College men should perforce be the
best mentally trained men in any
community Brains are given to all
humans; intelligence is acquired by
careful mental training 1t is to be
readily conceded that the man who
mas spent his early years under the
direction of capable teachers should
have the better developed mental
qualities.
Since this is true, those men who
have enjoyed such training owe to
the community in which they live,
whatever benefits they can bestow
upon such a community by reason OF
their training. In all social and
economic problems, it is their duty to
assist in solving those problems that
affect all the people. 1t becomes every

ever he can by reason of his better
equipment.
Nearly one hundred men will take
part in the outing tonight, and become
charter members of a fraternity, the
membership qualifications OF which,
when summed up, are not merely that
a man must bs- letter" tman, but
that ne be Gtrained man I'm his pro-
fessL6n, tXat his intelligence be of the
<keenest, and there is much work that
such a body of men can accomplish.
If this society that is to be formed
tonight will undertake to assist Pen
sacola in the solution of those prob
lens that daily confront every mu-
tions as may arise in which the city's
interests are at stake, and give to
the city the benefit of the solution
worked out by their accepted superior
qualifications to solve such problems
they can do much.
The trained lawyer can give sound
counsel in the city government; the
constructing engineer, prepared for
his profession by competent schooling
can noint out the means of lettering
the physical plan of the city; the ply
stefan can suggest better methods OF
sanitation, thereby guarding public
health; and so on.
II is not meant that they need pub
ncly proclaim their views on all these
municipal problems, but these hun
dred men can by such discussion
among themselves and by each work
ing for the betterment of the socia
and economic conditions as he sees
them, do much good for the entire
body of citizenship.
Success is wished for the project in

edge. To see dt well. one should be
supplied with a piece of smoked win
dow glass. Nowhere else in the
United States will this eclipse be
seen in such full perfection as here in
Florida, for its central line passes
very nearly over, the city of Tampa

ton across the state.
Along a line from the City of Mexi-
co, passing over Florida and the Ber-

startling phenomenon, viewed with
superst1tious awe and fear, but since
astronomers have been able to ex-

With the growing heat of summer
comes increased danger of diseases
spread by the common house fly. and
with knowledge of this has come a
concerted effort among progressive
cities to exterminate the dangerous
pest. Last years investigations in
New York city showed $50 deaths
from typhoid and 1000 deaths from
other intestinal diseases spread
through the agency of flies.-Jackson-
vile Metropolis.
The above is interesting as showing
the danger We are subjected to. but
it would be far more so if it contain
ed some information of the means to
be-employed to get rid of these pestif-

ever, that a thorough cleaning UP is
never amiss as it destroys the breed
ing places. Flies are the nastiest in
