"Tt is expensive to learn to fly" said
Clifford Harmon at Mineola. your
aeroplane costs more than $4,000. You
must pay a fee of $500 for tuition, and
you must deposit. too, about $500
more for damages. All the damage
you do to the machine you learn on
must be paid for, and your deposit
may easily be eaten up.

cakemak,er,s Hint.

When it is necessary to make sew
eral cakes at once. save yourself the
tiresome beating Of the batter by put
ting the required ingredients In their
usual order into small ice-cream
freezer. A few minutes Of turning the
crank results in the fine smooth batter
necessary for successful cake. This
Is great improvement over beating
with spoon after the old fashion.

TO PROTECT
STOCKINGS.

The popularity of thin s:~ekings.
which include Isle and silk, has caused
individuals and firms to invent all
kinds of guards to make these thin
stockings wearable The woman who
INDUCES in them has added two or
three kinds of harness to one pair OF
stockings, but she makes by it in the
end, for her stockings last longer ano
they do not show the large oarns
which are not attractive with slippers
and low pumps.
The first protection is a. round
channels pad, which is attached to the
end of each corset elastic and goes be-
tween the top of the stocking and the
steel hook The pulling of the stock
ing comes against the ckamois instead
of the metal, and. therefore, one does
not have those unsightly Jacobs lad
ders which ruin the best stockings
ever made.
Another safety device is toe guard
of knitted silk. This comes in white
only and it can be worn under any
color of stockings without showing
because of its shortness. This catches
the impression of the toe and the silR
stocking escapes Another device foi
protecting the whole garter top OF this
stocking is a two-inch band Of silk OF
Isle after it is put on and serves as 9
bulwark against the pull Of the elias

GULF TO LAKES
SCOUT TRIP IS
BRIGHT SUBJECT
MANY LETTERS BEING RECEIVED
FROM ALL ALONG PROPOSED
RoUTE-EDIToR poTY OF AN
DALUsIA is ENTHUSIASTIC.

The Pensacola to Chicago scout trip
is arousing interest all along the line.
AS an evidence of this the following
letter received by The Journal from
Editor Doty of the Andalusia Star is
self explanatory:
Doty Is Enthusiastic.
You can count on the Andalusia Star
going the limit for you and your high
way, and / think Covington county
people generally feel the same way
about it.
Your route to Montgomery must Of
necessity pass over the same highway
we have selected through Escambia,
Covfngton, Coffee and a part Of Pike,
an .s,.su- co. PERFORM Between Pensacola
and Montgomery, other than to arouse
enthusiasm, for we have secured
pledges for the identical road that
you need.
If possible we are going to send cars
10 BreWton to meet you and If posi-
Bile we are going to carry you to the
county seat of the next county In
other words we are going to try to do
the right thing by you. In our zeal
to have good roads to show our Wis
itors on the 22nd inst. we set about
two weeks ago and worked them and
1t has rained hard every day since
Today the roads are almost impossible,
ing will be better
For seven or eight years I've knock
ed around this section with a motor
car and If there's any information
that / can give you, would be glad to
impart it. Don't hesitate to call on
me for anything. Yours in the cause,
EDWARD DOTY.
In the last issue of his paper Editor
Doty says:
1T is noted that Andalusia is on
the proposed highway between Pen
sacola and Chicago. The Pensacola
Journal states that the scout car will
leave that city September Srd. An
dalusia should get in touch with the
Pensacola Chamber of Commerce and
leave nothing undone to bring the
highway through this section. Through
Escambia, Covington and Pike counties
this road should travel the same route
as the national highway. II would be
easier and better for these counties
The Star suggests a motor car escort
from the time the scout car enters
Covington county until it leaves at the
edge of Coffee county. There is no
doubt that Escambia and Coffee coun-
ties will do their part. The road over
seers between Sanford and Opp should
get busy Immediately"
Letters are also being received from
Birmingham. Nashville,
Louisville. Indianapolis. Chicago and
other points which the Gulf-to- the
Lakes route will touch. These letters
all indicate a general interest in the
project that means so much to the
South and to the people who want d.
rect automobile connection with the
Gulf coast.
