Hollies and holly berries are so
closely associated with Christmas that
II Is quite surprise to many to refer
to their Interesting appearance when

pected by many. Yet the English holly,
Hex aquifolium. IL well worthy OF being
considered favorabiy for its flowers as
well as for It's berries. These flowers,
because OF their great numbers and
white color, make a great display in
spring, hundreds OF them appearing on
single small shoot at that time. The
flowers are Of a larger size than those
Of the American holly, I. opaca, be-
sides which they are many times more
numerous. This is shown by the beg
ries, which are often observed thickly
studding the branches, forming a close
surface of red berries several inches In
length. The bushes OF this holly are
of such interest when in flower that

PANAMA-PACIFIC PLUNKS

Editor Star: We refer to your is
sue of Sept. 9Th in which you edi-
torially commend the commission on
having modified their ecorts to Sc
cure proper representation for this
state at the exposition next year,
however note that you advise the
commission to dump those Florida
dollars in the river, etc., for the rea-
son that you feel them to be dis
grace. We cannot help feeling that
your impression regarding the dollar
must be formed by having seen only
line cut which of necessity is some
what crude; we however want you
to see the dollar itself which we con-
slider a real attractive souvenir and
we'll worth a dollar to any citizen,
considering the good cause to which
this money will go.
FLORIDA State Commission.
The commission doesn't know the
Star very well, or it would have
known it wouldn't print any such a
criticism without having seen the OBJ
ject criticised. The Star hadn't ex-
peoted much of the dollar, but when
it saw the coin it was surprised to
see what bum production it was.
Take for instance the figure on the
back Of the coin-we suppose Il is
the back, as it is natural to believe
the state coast of arms is on the
front. 1t is a headless, armIess
female, standing in a boat about four
sizes too small for her. To make up
for lack of head and arms, the female
has wings, which however are not
big enough to fly with, and there
fore must be intended to fan mos
quitoes. A guileless friend of ours,
whose mind by observation of nature
undefiled yet remains comparatively
uncontaminated, says the statue
looks like a buI1bat. As near as we
can remember, not having seen a
bullbat lately, the comparison is cor
rect.
The Star wishes the commission
we'll, and will help it so far as 1t
can, but it can't recommend the
Florida dollars" They are nothing
less than ridiculous

PLEASED WITH THE PROSPECTS

The ST. Petersburg Independent
says: A change has come over the
railroad men of the state in the last
few weeks and they are now talking
about bright prospects for business
instead of being gloomy over the flu
ture. A high official of the A. G. L.
railroad was in ST. Petersburg sew
eral weeks since and was asked when
the new Pinellas special would be
put on between st. Petersburg and
Jacksonville. He said he could not
tell as so much depended on the
effect of the European war on this
country. He was inclined to be pes
simistic regarding travel to Florida
next winter and indicated that the
railroads would be slow to put on
new trains until they found OUT
what was going to be the effect OF
the war.
The railroad men have found out
one would judge from the statement
made to the Tampa Tribune by j. G.
kirkland, district passenger agent
for the A G. l.. railroad in Tampa,
Mr.. kirkland has just returned from
Wilmington, n. c., where ne at
tended meeting of the passenger
men of that railroad. He said they
all agreed that the prospects for
heavy travel to Florida points dur
ing the coming season are better
than ever before and the railroad is
making its plans to handle more pas
sengers than last winter.
The railroad representative ought
to know, especially as they declare
that many reservations have already
been made, even this far ahead OF
time. The men in the passenger de-
partment say that travel to the
South is unusually heavy now for
this season of the year and that it
is not composed entirely OF residents
of Florida who have been away for
the summer Newcomers are on
every train. Some of them are COM
fng to the state as permanent resi-
dents and Others are coming on
pleasure or in search of health In

strangers any day on Central avenue.

SMASH SHOPS
OF GERMANS
TRY LEASED WIRE.1

LONDON, Oct. 19.-After fighting
for more than ten hours, heavy force
of police were able early today to sub
due a mob of 5000 people who had
attacked a number Of German stores
in Depot Ford. More than a score
of prisoners were taken. Both women
and men, we're taken. The prisoners
were arraigned before noon, and all
but one woman were remanded in Gus
tody for future examination.
The rioting in south London broke
out early last night, but was checked.
After midnight it was renewed with
more violence than ever. The police
fought valiantly to protect the proper
ty owned by citizens of a hostile ma
ton, but they found the rioters in an
extremely dangerous frame of mind.
Many were hurt In the clashes and
had to be taken to hospitals for treat
ment.
The immediate cause of the outbreak
was the arrival of 800 belgians in the
neighborhood. Dockworkers precipi-
tated the trouble and soon High street,
the center of the zone of disorder, was
mass of struggling humanity.
A handful Of troops assisted the po-
lice in clearing the streets after the
riots had been quelled.
These were the first war riots in
London.
