To further the growing industrial
activity of the japanese settlers in the
Hawaiian Islands, arrangements have
been made to found Japanese bank
at Honolulu. The object is to pro
mote trade relations between Japan
and Hawaii, and to give facilities to
the japanese in financial matters.
Trade reports show a steady increase
of commerce between Japan and the
Hawaiian group.
On the other hand, the attempts Of
Japanese to develop a fishing industry
along the coast of Mexico appear to
have been a failure. The Japanese
Fishing Guild, organized some time
ago in Mexico. has decided to abandon
it's fishery business because of the
very meagre results. The sea bottom
along the Pacific coast of Mexico is
of gravel and without enough sea weed
to make the spawning of fish suff1-
GENTLY abundant. Moreover, fish are
rarely found in shoals, in Mexican
waters, and large catches are impossi-

japanese. and it is understood they

MORE EXPENSE
FOR OWNERSOF
AUTOMOBILES
MOTORCYCLE OWNERS ARE ALSO
INCLUDED IN LAW REQUIRING
MOTOR DRIVEN VEHICLES TO
PAY A LICENSE RANGING FROM
So TO $500 PER YEAR.

Announcement was made yesterday
afternoon by Chief Deputy Sheriff
Hartsfield that within the next week
or SO Sheriff Cary Ellis will enforce
the law passed by the legislature OF
1911. which compels owners of auto
mobiles, motorcycles and other motor
driven vehicles using the public roads
or highways in the state either for hire
or otherwise to pay a license tax
ranging from So to S1OO Sheriff Ellis
will defer enforcement until after the
meeting of the board of county COM
misstoners next Tuesday night, when
he will call the boards attention to
the fact that certain numbered metal
tags and blank forms will have to be
ordered by them in order that the pro-
visions of the law may be complied
with.
The first arrest under this law was
made some time ago in Hillsborough
county, but Circuit Judge Wall de-
cIared the law unconstitutional, where
upon the case was appealed to the
state supreme court, which rendered
a decision saying that the act was con-
stitutional.
The law says that the owner or
operator of every automobile and other
motor driven vehicle operating in this
state more than fifteen days when
used for hire, charter or when charge
is made for use thereof in any manner
or form what soever, shall pay annually
to the tax collector of the several
counties Of the state a county license
tax and that all monies derived from
the payment of such license tax shall
he maid into the road and bridge funds
of the different counties.
Following is the graduated scale of
license tax:
driven vehicle of less than ten horse
ESron, eleven to twenty nine horse
From thirty to forty horsepower in
elusive, $50.
From forty-one to fifty horsepower
ron From f1fty-one to sixty horsepower
from sixty-one to seventy horse
power inclusive, So
From seventy -one horsepower and
TAX FOR PRIVATE AUTOS.
When any automobile and other mo-
tor-drtven vehicles are used by the
owner thereof, or without charge, the
annual license tax shall be as follows:
For any automobile and other motor
driven vehicle of less than ten horse
power, So.
From eleven to twenty-nine horse
From thirty to forty horsepower in
From forty-one to fifty horsepower
inclusive, SIS.
From fifty-one to sixty horsepower
inclusive, SIS.

sepenty-one horsepower and over,
$50.
The payment Of one such county
license tax in the state of Florida, shall
exempt the owner or operator from
the payment of any other such county
license tax during the license year
upon the payment of such county
license tax the owner or operator shall
be given an appropriately numbered
metal tag with the name of the county
and the year for which said county
license tax is paid indicated thereon

Teach Household Work,

In opening school which is to pro-
vide a two years course of training
in household work for girls going into
domestic service, j. A. Peace, president
of the board of education, somewhat
startled the women present by sug
costing that the girls be encourag ed
to read and discuss novels. This he
thought would make their lives seem
less dull.
The school which, If successful, will
be copied in all the cities Of the
country, is partly residential and part
ly day. All girls will go into residence
for at least eight weeks in the year in
order to gain practical experience of
the routine work of a household. Mr..
Peace, in his opening address, said the
government appreciated efforts of the
kind. and in connection with trade
schools had practically doubled the
grants. With training for household
work he believed the idea that do
mestic service was a servile trade
would not survive, that the status of
domestic servants would be elevated,
and that there would be correspond
ing Improvement in the conditions of
service maintained by the employer.

Pensacola, who are interested in 1T,
increase daily. People who have in
Eestigated thoroughly the conditions of
the whole of the gulf coast and who
are competent judges believe that
Pensacola will double its population
in the next five years. In other words,
people outside who can get a birds
eye view of the whole situation, think
more Of us than we do ourselves.
1--WE need factories and new indus
tries, as was ably shown by Mayor
Greenhuts article in last Sundays
Journal, and these are undoubtedly
coming. We need also confidence in
our town and in it's future. We need
not to be discouraged by the temp
oTary business inactivity, which has
been current for some time all over
the world We need to realize that
every good word we say about Pen
So cola helps to build up the prosperity
of each individual in it, and that every
time we express a doubt of Pensa-
cCla's future grea tness we hurt not
only the town, but ourselves tndividu-
ally.
AN INSTANCE CITED.
by way of illustration: 1 know,
of my own knowledge, Of one man who
ca me to Pensa cola with his mind made
up and his plans fixed to locate here
and spend between twelve thousand
and fifteen thousand dollars in putting
up a small factory which would have
employed about twenty hands. He had
studied the situation and had made
up his mind that Pensacola was the
proper place for him to locate and
spend his money. On his final trip to
Pensacola he happened to run across
a Pensacolian who was a pessinlist,
and the Pensacola mans conversation
was so blue and discoura ging that the
prospective citizen changed his mind
about locating and left. Statistics and
logic caused him to believe in the
future prosperity of Pensacola, but the
pessimism of one of it's citizens scared
him off. If he had stayed, as was his
first intention, when he came to Pen
sa cola, each individual citizen OF Pen
sacola would have received a tangible
benefit \ by reason of his coming. l
wish that every man, woman and
child in Pensacola co1id be made to
believe what to my mind is unques-
a fact, viz: That Pensa cola
will double in population within the
next five years.

Names From the Rible

A certain set of Christian names taken
from the Bible have been in use so long
that we do not think of them as Bible
names, says the Hartford Times. Among
them are Adam, Moses, Samuel. David,
Daniel, Solomon. Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. Others taken from the saints like
Peter, Paul, John, Stephen and Mat
thew, originally given 10 children because
they were born on the saints day, are
still so common that we think of them as
English names.
These names antedate the use of sur
names, as may be inferred from the fact
that nearly all of them have given rise
to patronymics, like jacobson, Peterson
and Stevenson. In the twelfth century
missionaries sent out by the authorities
used to baptize whole villages at once to
save time invested all the men with the
name of John or some other saint and the
women usually Mary Martha To dis
t1nguish the Johns some additional name
like Short or Strong or White or Black
was given him by the neighbors, and SO
Christian names and surnames were
united.
After the reformation it became the
fashion among the Puritans to give chill
dren the names of characters like the
Old Testament, and odd ones like Mel
chisedec or Barzillai were preferred.
Among these were Abel, Levi, Jesse,
Amos. Asa, Isaiah, Ephriam, Gideon,
Malachi. Job, Abner, Hosea Ezekiel,
jeremiah, Zechariah, Asher, Eli and hum
dreds of others.
