many who have the opportunity to
enjoy only a short vacation from their

four hundred miles between the Allan
tic ocean and the Gulf OF Mexico, is
sometimes called the American Italy.
Il lacks the charm Of history and elias

its own romance and historical lights
and shadows. which lend a fascina-
tion to its rivers. its immense extent
of seacoast. its hundreds of attractive
lakes, its mineral and medical
springs. its mighty forests of long leaf
yellow pine and its outspread groves
of oranges and grapefruit.
To persons unacquainJed with Flori-
ia from personal observation the
huge proportions are always a revla-
ton. Something Of the extent of the
state may be realized when it is re-
membered that the beautiful st.

The backbone of central portion
and the northwestern extension Of the

fresh water lakes and with rivers
which afford splendid support for the
