West Floridians Should

West Florida-those counties lying

appointment of Senator Milton, whose
term expires next November, West
Florida would have no representation
there.

West Florida now has candidate

The Iron Duke has always been a

feet four inches tail. i have read also
that he was only five feet six inches.
Historians tell Us he was anywhere
from FIVE feet six inches to five feet
eleven inches. There are some things
seemingly very simple which it is i'm
possible to esta blish. This is one of
them. Historians are still guessing the
height of Julius Caesar, the size of
Hannibal's head, the weight of Alex

Mobile lays claim to some NJ the

for this is due to the Herveys. They

In view of the continued claims by

The Osler theory has been adopted
by the Chicago Board of Education,
regarding teachers in the public
schools, with the exception of the
chloroform treatment. They have
fixed the age limit at fifty years, but
permit those who pass the limit to
go away somewhere, or anywh~-a
they please, and die a natural death.
The age limit for members of the
Chicago Board of Education is not
stated, but thatvon is needed is
quite evident. Imagine the effect of
applying such an age limit to the
teachers and professors in all the
schools and colleges In the country.
The Chicago Board of Education
seems to have reversed the theory
and opinion of the trainers of the
United states constitution in which
the age limit of congressman, sena-
tors and the president is placed at
the other end OF life, SO that they
are not eligible to Office until having
reached certain age. In other
words. they have to be old enough
to grow a beard before they are
deemed wise and discreet enough to
hold those Offices. But. come to
think of it., many of the teachers and
some members of the school board
in Chicago couldn't grow a beard if
they lived to be a hundred.
