Berlin and Paris were made beauti.
full by tearing out slums and building

did not increase the taxes was because

FOUR ToRPEDOES AT LARGE.
Thev are Valued at $500 and Were
Lost in Target Practice.

Seventeen torpedo boats after
smashing dozen floating targets and
destroying several imaginary ships
in Lynnhsven Bay since Monday,
sailed late yesterday for Newport.
The little fighters used more than
$50, 900 worth Of ammunition during
the three days manoeuvers and lost
four torpe6oes valued at 1900 each.
The boats had night and day practice
Monday and Tuesday and early yes
terday morning they smashed the last
two targets.
Most of the shooting was done
under unfavorable weather condi-
tions, but the results were satisfac-
tory. Naval tugs went out to sea
yesterday in storm to search for
the missing torpedoes, but had failed
to find them up to late hour last
night. The Patuxent and Rocket,
two of the navy's most powerful tugs,
are engaged in the search.
The tugs sank buoys near the
spots where the torpedoes were lost to
warn passing ships of the danger. 1t
is believed that the torpedoes either
sank after leaving the tubes on the
torpedo boats or speeded acrsss the
bay and landed on the opposite shore.

A visitor In the southern states

through a street in one Of the large
cities of the south on which blocks
OF first class houses had been erected
on both sides, but evidently by diff

a wonderful difference in succesa
caused by shade trees alone. There
was a pretty row of Carolina poplars
on one side and on the other side nc
trees at all This side had numerous
notices Of houses to rent, but on the
other side of the trees, in the shade
every house was occupied. The houses
on both sides of the strees appeared
to be of equal age and value and there
was no apparent difference between
the two. There Is not particle OF
doubt that the presence of the trees
had given the one side the greater ad.

The tradition of DIR. Johnsons say
ing, read what the world reads at

the Pensacola Library Association has
just put into circulation eight out of

For several years the library has ca
tered largely to fiction.
Fiction is of the greatest value in
developing a taste for reading-every-
body should be familiar with the great
works of imagination. The committee
follows the course to consider the call
of the members, at the same time
