the cunning and agility of the native
son would be "Burbanked'' with the
desperate courage and violent brutality
of the German flea, would produce a
flea that might devastate the land.
That is what Doctor Snow and Doctor
Blue and their assistants are fighting
against.
Prof. Wilhelm FricKe does not think
there is danger of his fleas escaping
and mingling in domestic grace with
the California article. Professor Fricke
is famed trainer of the flea He has
exhibited his trained troupe at the
Chutes and other places of amusement
and now holds his little army of man
eaters at his residence, 431 Linden
avenue
But do not fear. Every little bitter
is securely chained up with German
silver wire, and Professor Fricke will
not part with them. He needs them in
his business. And besides, he values
them trained at $40 apiece and un-
trained at so cents. Who would put
value on California flea?
The text books make strong dis
tinction between the man eating Ger
man fioh and the dog eating or sand
dwelling Californian. The European flea
is known as the human flea, or PuIex
irritans Pulex is the family or tribal
name of the flea race. Any one who has
had experience knows what "irritans"
in relation to a flea means.
A Veritable Vampire
The European flea is twice as large
as the average California flea It's sole
diet is human blood. 1t is veritable
vampire Of an insect. Professor Fricke
feeds his geological collection on his
good right arm. turning the insects out
to pasture every morning.
The state board of health figures that
If the feas escaped and taught that
trick to their California cousins the
people of this state would shortly be-
come so sadly bloodless that the race
would become aenemic. 1t is commonly
believed that the California flea of to-
day, protected as it has been from the
evil influence of the European human
flea. is quite bloodthirsty enough. The
health officers know that, but they con-
tend that its native ferocious and vam-
pire tendency is nothing compared to
what 1t would be if the Germanic in
yasions spread its sinister blot on the
'scutcfen of the virtuous native son.
The effect would be a race which would
make the plague flea of unregretted
memory look like innocent plaster of
paris casts in a college museum
Norris Metzman, the expert of the
public health service. is studying the
problem of the flea and will shortly re-
port to the state board of health. as
well as to the federal health service,

cegenation between the dark brown

SPLENDID
LESSONS
FROM RILEY.
DR.. HUXLEY SHOWS REASONS
WHY POET RILEY IS LOVED.
HooslER WRITER COULD SEE
AND REVEAL GOOD IN ALL THE
COMMON THINGS AND THE PEo-
PIE CLOSE AT HOME.

James Whitcomb Riley in real life,
a word picture of him among the
hcne folks and strong lessons drawn
RON the teachings in his writings,
s4ere revealed to a representative aru-
dience at the High school Monday
night, when DR.. Lincoln Hulley, presi-
dent OF Stetson University, delivered
his famous lecture, "Riley and the
Home Folks
Seen through the eyes and brain
of DIR. HUXLEY. who has made a study
of the writings and Life of the ia
nous Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb
Riley, was placed before the people
here in a different light than he had
ever been seen before. Through the
explanations and readings of Dr. HUI
ley the writings of the poet were re-
yealed as works of genius that have
left their impress upon humanity
with a power for good that is not
equalleG IN any of the later-day poets
Riley saw poetry in the common
things. which were overlooked by
others and taught the people to love
nature end the common people be-
cause of the good to be found every
where. Unlike many others the
Hoosier writer could always find a
good word for every person and
everything, and his personal, lOvable
and charitable nature has been re-
yealed in au his writings.
From his readings from Riley's
works DR.. Hulley was able to draw
splendid lessons for the audience,
which frequently showed its appre-
citation by applause.
The lecture was given under the au-
spices of the Daytona. lodge OF Elks
and the proceeds from the admission
charge wi be turned into the charity
fund of the lodge.

There IS small prospect of citing
through congress an appropr lation
for q new federal building and post
office for Daytona at the pres
4nt short session. according to the
opinion Of Senator Fletcher, ex-
pressed in a letter to Postnla
Smith and received by the Da ytona
postmaster Monday.
However, Senator Fletcher assures
Postmaster Smith he will intr oduce
the bill If there is a possible open
ing, AMI If not be will see that it is
introduced into the next Con gress,
and will do all in his power to have
it included in the general appr opria-
tons bill. Representative Clark
has given assurance that he w u as
sist in getting the bill through the
lower house.
BY orders from President Taft
economy is being praetised in every
department of the federal government
and all appropriations are being cut
in every possible place. The general
appropriations bin has been ma lie up
to include all appropriations of pub
lie moneys to be made at this, ses-
sion and there Is small like, ihood
that another appropriation could be
squeezed into the general bill.
The petition circulated recently by
Postmaster Smith and freely signed
by the business men of Daytonf., has
heen sent to Senator Fletchel. and
will be used by him in his efforts to
secure the new postoffice building
for this city.
The Daytona postmaster says every
box in Ihe local postoffice Is now
rented and that the business X now
too big for the local facilities BY
the height of the season the bu ildine
will be crowded to such an extent
that the employees and patrons nf the
office will be much inconvenf enced
by the cramped accommodations Be
fore the end of another year it is
believed some arrangements will have
TO be made to provide more noom in
the local office.

INTEREST
IN ROAD
GROWING.
OWNERS OF AUTOMOBILES
WOULD Be APPRfCIA1IVF.
WHETHER ROAD IS TO BE BUILT
WILL DEPEND UPON INTEREST
SHOWN BY COMMISSIONERS OF
VARIOUS COUNTIES.

The visit of President Francis p.
Ccnroy of the Jacksonville board of
trade to this city IN the interests of
the movement to build a hard sur
face road the entire length of the
East Coast of Florida, to extend from
Jacksonville to Miami and make a
connecting line between all the cities
and towns, has given added impetus
to the agitation in this part of the
State
The Daily News has been besieged
with inquiries from automobile own
ers and eastern and northern people
as to whether there is really any
probability of the road being built
and how soon the work can be ac-
complished. The answer to these
questions is that the road will be
built and that as quickly as possible
If the proper amount of interest lis
shown by the county commissioners
in the counties through which it will
pass.
When this highway is completed it
will give a good connected automo-
bile road through from Miami to
New York City. Many eastern peo-
pie would drive their automobiles
through to this State in the winter
and back in the spring if the roads
were IN better condition.
The efforts of the Jacksonville
board Of trade, which has taken up
this matter and is pushing it at this
time, will now be centered on inter-
esLfng the various boards of county
commits sioners in the project. The
statement of President Conroy that
he found the roads in this county in
excellent condition, much better than
be expected, has convinced him that
tie project of building the road is
not going to be as big job as he
had at first anticipated.
The following letter from a New
Smyrna man to Secretary Richard
son of the Jacksonville board of trade
in regard to this movement explains
the condition of some of the Florida
roads:

Two Classes

The world has always been divid-
ed into two classes-those who have
saved-those who have spent. The
thrifty and the extrava CANT
have built the houses, the mills, the
the ships, the schools
and churches and all other great
works which stand for mans ad-
vancement and happiness. The
spenders are slaves to the savers. 1t
is the law Of nature. We want you
to be a saver-to open am account in
our Savings Department and be inde-
pendent. One dollar will start an
account. Why not begin today? Put
your money where 1t will be safe and
draw interest while you sleep. En-
roll your name with the thrifty class
with the savers. Do it today.
