A GREAT NATURAL RESOURCE

Mr.. J. o. Nolte of Jacksonville was
in the city yesterday, expounding the
virtues of sisal hemp to many interest
ed hearers.
There is no reason why sisal should
not be one of the greatest of Florida
resources 1t grows with little or no
cultivation and will grow on the poor
est land. 1t makes the best of rope
and Irvine, the demand for which is
constantly increasing. It's production
and expectation is almost the sole in
dustry of Yucatan, and the Florida
product is equal if not superior to that
Of Mexico. Manila hemp has been an
important article of commerce ever
since the Spanish conquered the Fill

pines, and sisal is almost if not quite
as good as Manila. Mr.. Nolte showed
the Star samples of rope, Irvine and
fiber, and they were almost PLAT
as silk, and stronger than anything
except steel
When il is understood that every
man who has an acre of pine land can
raise sisal. and that the demand for il
is increa sing and unending, its i'm
portance to Florida can be well un-
derstood.
The Sisal Hemp and Development
Company has a big tract of land in
Lee county, and is actively engaged in
raising the staple and making it into
cordage. Its example should be ex-
tensively followed.

CHARMED WITH MRS. Chiffon

There was a large audience at the
Temple last evening to greet Mrs. VIM.
Calvin Chiffon, who is a queen in the
art Of monodrama. appearing here un-
der the auspices of the Aklahest Ly-
ceum system
Mrs Chiffon held her hearers SPELL
bound from start to finish in her rem
dition of Polly of the Circus The
impersonation of the different charac
tiers was so realistic that one hardly
realized there was but one playing the
part. The first part Of the recital was
most amusing. The comical sayings
of "Hasty' and Mandy" the two SER
wants, were finely interpreted, even
"Mandy's" side-splitting laugh was 50
real that everyone in the audience
seemed to be trying TO laugh as hear
tily as she. Then came the pathetic
side of the story. Polly was hurt by
falling from her horse at the circus
tent. and was taken to the parsonage.
where the minister and Mandy" cared
for her The parting from her best
friends Of the circus was a most touch
ing scene. When Polly recovered
from her injuries she had unknowing
1y won the ministers love, with her
bright and pretty ways But, as is
often true in real life, the gOssiping
tongues OF those who called them
selves Christians drove the poor girl
back to the sawdust ring. But the
minister searched for her. followed by
his deacons, and finds her. He tells
the deacons just what he thinks OF
their action and takes Polly back with
him as his promised wife, and teaches
her that beautiful lesson of Ruth and
Naomi.
Mrs. Chiffon is perfect master of her
voice, which has a clear ring in it re-
CARELESS Of the character she imper-
sonates. This has undoubtedly been
enc of the greatest attractions that
has ever been in Ocala.

by FRANCES sHAFFER.

The city authorities Of Sydney, New
South Wales, must be a BIT unhappy
these days.
II seems they have an ordinance against
the wearing of dangerously protrudine
hatpins, and recently sixty women
most of them prominent in society, 90
the story goes-were arrested, tried con-
victed, and fined for exceeding the limit
of steel allowed.
And the trouble comes in their refusal
to pay the fine. They call 1t 'fnlquitous
and unnecessary legislation, ana deh-
antly went to jail rather than pay the
fine, declaring that II further arrests
are made they will institute some sort
Of impressive protest.
And are they right or are they wrong!
As 1t Appears.
As it looks on the surface. they are
wrong-wrong in the first step and wrong
in the last, because the protruding hat
pin, little as 1t is, has some serious
counts against II. In crowded gatherings
that bit of steel more than once mas
done irreparable damage, and though the
cases are rather isolated 1t is discomfort
ing, to say the least, to see long, pro-
truding point and not know where 1t may
land or what harm II may do.
And women OF intelligence, women who
think and who ought to care, should be
considerate enough to take the initiative
in barring out anything that possibly can
be called a pubic menace. They never
should leave 1t TO city authorities to pass
an ordinance saying thou shalt not.
but should settle that little matter In
their own minds, their homes, or their
clubs For IL the women who ought 10
care would set a reform in motion the
balance. and the manufacturers too'
would quickly fall in line.
But II they do not-and in sydney II
was apparently the women who ought
to care-and II the authorities insist that
they must, then, by all that
is reasonable and true, they should not
complain. certainly should not rebel at
anything that makes for the physical
weIl-being of their community.
The Real Point.
But the point is here-at least that is
one OF the points that those rebellious
women probably make:
In sydney, in Paris and in plenty OF
other places abroad and at home there
are ordinances fatty dealing with the
offending hatpin, and the authorities do
not leave It there; they enforce the
regulations they make-at least. some
Of them do. But In Sydney. in Paris

The New Winter Fashions
Are DiStinctipely Feminine

for it is so dainty. so frilly. and so very
feminine-and withal so comfortable. II
one adopts the fiat style. The new French
neckwear now being shown in the shops
is delightful-with plenty of real lace
and much hand embroidery and just
enough variety to please the fastidious
woman.
One wonders IL the charmeuse dress
that pretty, one-piece AFFAIR Of which we
meet so many illustrations on the streets
these days-is not going to be smothered
with kindness 1t has been so well liked
and there are so many models being
shown in the shops that there is danger
of it becoming commonplace-which is
rather a pity considering how attractive
II is.
Some new autumn top coats, lately
shown, were of a pretty double-faced
tweed-a soft, warmish fabric that al
ways looks so very suitable for It's pur-
pose. One side was Of brown or gray
and the reverse side was of a colored
plaid in contrasting color. The coats
were braid bound and in the new length
for the season, which is not quite long.

WASHINGTON COUPLE
INSIST ON THEIR WEDDING
BEING GIVEN PUBLICITY

An unusual wedding ceremony was per-
formed yesterday in Wilmington, Del,
when John Richard Miller. twenty-five
years old, Of 1913 Morse Street North
east, and Miss Bessie Hoover. twenty
three. of 1854 Newton Street Northwest,
were married.
The oddly Of the marriage lay In the
fact that instead of wishing to keep the
matter OF their wedding a secret, as do
most of the couples who go to Whining
ton. they asked for, and even insisted,
on its being given all possible publicity.
Magistrate Gluckman, who issued the
license, was dumbfounded by the re-
quest, but he hurried to comply with the
wishes of the pair. They were welded
by Rev. George T. Wolfe, and then re-
turned to Washington.
I'VE wished every one to know OF it,
said Mr.. Miller, in explanation.

and all those other places there are
other important ordinances for other
important things, and they are not en-
forced at all.
There's that fragrant abuse that con-
spicuously concerns the public health
the baneful practice OF expectorating in
public places. In the fight against the
great white plague. vast sums are spent
each year in the hope to bring to an
end the cruel reign Of q disease that
takes heavy toll from the very flower of
our land. And those who know tell US
that that one offensive habit is respon-
sIble for many a new victim, and they
preach the gospel of cleanliness and OF
care In the great crusade that seems to
have no end.
More Dangerous Practices.
Ordinances forbidding the practice are
wisely posted here and there, but the
danger to public health and the blow at
public fastidlousness go merrily on. And
We do not read of any arrests, sixty at
a time. We admit the evil of the hatpin
and think II should be cleared up, one
way or another, for woman's sake and
for the greater sake OF the public. But
sometimes when We feel like drawing
our skirts aside to escape the unclean-
illness and the danger lurking in the un-
Seemly praCtlce OF eNpeCIOrdtlnB on inc
streets, IN the cars and in other public
places, we really feel that city authorities
have a right TO be a bit disturbed II wom-
en- make a protest at their wholesale ar
rest For when 1t comes to taking hu-
man toll the hatpin is small by compari-
son.
First, those Sydney women should have
listened to the promptings OF thought
fulness; failing in that, they should have
abIded by the law. But perhaps II is
not too much to guess that they got
thinking of a lot of other things sadly
enough affecting the public well-being
and the public happiness. too.
And then they-just rebelled.
When a Thing Is Wrong.
But for the sake OF keeping under
cover any reasons for comparisons. II
would be well for women to settle these
little matters within their exclusive do
mains When a thing is wrong It ought
to be corrected. no matter who is in
voIved, but somehow folk will let their
minds drift to the whole big field where
abuses are measured UP, and they see so
many evils that cry to the heavens for
righting that they quite lose sight OF
their own.
And then. II some one reminds them.
they are very prone to rebel.
