THE PALAF OK
PARKWAY PLAN
Mr.. A. v. Clubs Presents
One That VIII be Gen
orally Approved.

Av. CIubbs, who has always taken
8 deep interest in the City Beautiful
and who has planted more trees prob
ably than any other citizen of the
city who is not in the tree planting
business. has prepared a plan of the
proposed PalafoX parkway improve
rnent which puts the matter in con-
crete form.
Mr.. Glubbs is heading the park
commissioners movement to secure
the removal of the street car tracks
nom the center of the parkway so
mat there will be one on each side
Of it and his plan shows how the
mace would look under that improve
ment.
Palafox street, between Garden and
Wright Streets, is $50 feet wide. Ac-
oording TO Mr.. Clubbs's plan, he has
divided the $50 feet as follows: 80
feet for a parkway down the center
on each side 10 feet for the car line
rJnning next to the parkway; then
40 feet for the paved roadway; and
10 feet for the sidewalk.
Down the center of the parkway,
Mr.. Clubbs would have a wide cement
walk with plenty of seats along 1t
and on each side of the walk, the
grass plot will contain palms and
other trees and such ornamentation
as the landscape gardener may de-
wise
The street car company will be ask
I'd to meet the citizens half way in
this matter of city improvement and
to remove its tracks, according to
the plan. and the council will be ask
cd to approve the plan.
Carried into effect. Mr.. Clubbs's
plan would make the Palafox park
way one of the famous places of the
gulf cOast-a thing of beauty which
residents would enjoy perennially and
which visitors would remember as
long as they live

be made in a through car and all of
the West Florida people can go to-

The rate. for this trip has not vet
been decided upon, but special rate

UNION LABOR SERMONS.

The average union man does not
appreciate the power that lies in his
hands. If he did, there would be
quite a different state of affairs in
the industrial worldly today. He has
the ability, if he would only use it,
to compel employers to give him that
which is his just due for his services.
The union label is the means. and
used properly it will accomplish the
desired end. This little sign of quail
ity is the most powerful weapon or
ganized labor possesses. BY demand
ing the union label on every article
purchased, no matter what. and in
sisting upon the clothier and the gro
Ger procuring union made articles to
supply this demand, it will not be
long until the manufacturers of non
union goods will have no market for
their wares. This end is gradually
being realized. and by a campaign
of education it will eventually be-
come an accomplished fact Remem

For the information of local ma

President Smith of the L. & N.

He gives some interesting figures Gin

explained by the hypothesis of inner

there is an element of intelligence, if

rising to Il height of about fifteen feet,
allowed 1t to fall upon hard ground.
The clam kept Its mouth shut. Again
the gull rose with it to the same height
and dropped 1t once more, with the
same result. This operation was re-
peated fifteen times. when at last the
shock had the desired effect, the shell
was opened, and the gull enjoyed its
