Music For the
Summer Evenings.

Now that the summer months are
here it would be a good thing if some
arrangement could be made to have
band concerts in the various city parks.
Other cities have found that music in
the parks, at least once a week, is de-
sirable and affords entertainment to
many at small expense.
To provide the music, the various
cities use different means, and any
way it may be done in Pensacola will
be all right if the music is Forthcoming.
The Journal is Of the opinion that
the city should provide the funds for
band concert at least one night in
each week, the concert to take place at
different park each week until every
section of the city is given a concert.
This will give the residents of all parts
of town the same privilege.
There may be some few who would
object to the city spending funds for
band concert, but we believe that the
policy would meet with general ap-
prevail. The expense would be insig-
nificant compared with the pleasure
that it would afford.
In conjunction with the band con-
certs a few reels of moving pictures
could be shown and the medical asso-
citation would no doubt be glad of the
opportunity to provide slides to fur
Their the fight against the flies and
mosquitoes by showing in picture form
the damage that these pests do around
the home. Pictures showing the awful
ness of the white plague, or tubercu-
losis, could in this way be given to
the public and the good to be done is
incalculable.
This is a matter the various wom-
ems organizations might well interest
themselves In If they will take the
initiative there is little doubt but thai
the city viii provide the funds for the
summer open air concerts. 1t will be
an amusement for the entire city and
in many cases will afford recreation
and pleasure to those who would not
| get it from any other source.
Nothing is so good for a city as q
happy and contented people and the
open air band concerts in the summer
will go long way toward making this
possible.

can take their preference of either
going to the east or west coast of
Florida. It will, during each winter,
bring hundreds here that would not
come If the highway was not there.
Three routes are proposed by the
ones in charge of selecting the routes.
Either of the routes will be good and
either will traverse a rich and pros
porous section of the southeast. Live
and growing towns are situated along
each route and the contest for the road
will be keen and spirited.
This is the day of automobiles. The
business man and the farmer both
have them, and the citizens along the
route from Moultrie to Pensacola will
be delighted to have the opportunity of
a seaport town at the end Of the high
way. When the highway is COM
pleted, the trip from Moultrie to Pen
sacola may be made in few hours.
That is if the roadway is put into a
good condition.
The Journal urges everyone to get
behind the movement and see that in
terest is not allowed to lag until the
highway is completed. Pensacola will
be vastly benefited. but the little cities
along the route will get their proper
ton of good from the road.
Ard the Journal would especially
urge the people of the Florida towns
not to lose any time. for the Georgia
and Alabama people will want the road
to come through their cities, and the
road will go through the sections that
have the best roads. or will agree to
build them.
The Journal has been advocating the
building of such highways for years
but this is the first time the question
has been put in proper shape for de-
veIopment Now the situation is
changed. The people at the other end
want to come to Pensacola will we
meet them half way?

PROF. ALLEN WRITES OF
THE FIREMEN'S PICNIC

Brent, Fla. May 6, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal
I once heard of a lady who was so
wealthy her husband furnished her
with four horse carriage to ride n
when she went shopping; but she
would invariably steal some article be-
fore she left the store. She stood high
in society and her friends. hearing of
her strange acts, formed a committee
| and asked her why she did so strange
ly. Her reply was: II would rather
have $500 worth Of stolen goods than
$1,000 buy. I am just that way by
| any little present given me by a
friend" I presume your readers have
heard ere this time that I was award
ed a fine rocking chair by Mr.. Len
LeBaron. When I was introduced to
him said: Are you any kin to
Leonard LeBaron, of the antebellum
timer"
YES" said he, "he was my father
WELL" said I, '1e courted my Oldest
sister, Miss Nancy Beatrice Allen, and
I thought they would marry; but they
didn't"
Mr.. LeBaron appointed Mr.. Moungry
to take charge of the music, and after
the band had played several pieces he
told the leader, Prof. Barrios, to let
me play my little part, which he very
kindly did. After getting in tune
| asked him if he could play second to
any key. His reply was, 'T can" ]
| told him I wanted "A fiat" and he
didn't have to hunt for the chords, but
he went right down on them. 1 next
told him I wanted r fat and he was
| there instantly. Then it was Q nat
ural, and so on to e fiat and F. Mr..
Barrios is not fiddler, but a violinist
| and of course could not enter into the
| contest with me for the prize.
After playing Dixie" five different
ways I told him 1 would play Hot
Times in the Old Town on B fat and
the Yankee Horn Pipe" on A fat, and
close my part of the program. But
about the rocking chair. I brought it
home this morning and my daughter
Mrs Basker, was in it before I could

have" Yes, it is one of the best chairs
I ever sat in. felt as though I wanted
to sit in it all day! The firemen's
picnic was one Of the most enjoyable
places I ever visited I never in my

beach, except when I married the Sec

a dollar to see all the beautiful ladies
who were down there. / hope we will

must say that it is amusing to read
his letter in The Journal of April 3Oth

amount the farmers will be minus that
much hard-earned money.
The question is, which one of the
classes. the farmers or the trusts, is
entitled to the money? The Demo

farmers have been robbed for years by
the protective tariff, and promised re-

was given. ..---'

1t has been clearly established
half grains of caffeine in an ounce Of

statistics as to the importation OF

pounds OF caffeine bearing products
are consumed annually by the Ameri-
can people, while only seventy thous-
and pounds of the drug are used by
the Coca Cola people. This worked
out In proportions shows that regu-
lar drinker of coffee or tea uses about
as much caffeine in week as the
average consumer of Coca Cola does

It seems very clear from the bulk
of the expert testimony that there is
no more harm in this popular drink
than there is in coffee or tea; that If
a person drinks too much OF any one
of these beverages, which cheer

that there Is no more ground
