sengers to a lower deck. The life
boats were swung lower, so the pas
sengers might step into them with

shots falling about the steamer at in
tervals of from two to five minutes.
For about half an hour the submarine
pursued the liner with the span of
water between them lengthening each
minute. Seven shots were fired in
all. Four Of them passed over the
decks. The other three fell close to
the ship. Then the submarine, out
distanced, gave up the chase.

SAND ASPHALT ROADS

There seems to be pretty hot
Fight going on in South Florida be-
tween the brick and sand-asphalt
People. Millions of dollars are to be
spent for hard surfaced roads In
Florida in the near future. Nearly
all the more progressive counties
are voting bonds to improve roads.
This large expenditure of money is
making keen competition between
concerns which furnish road-build-
ing materials. So much has been
said for an rainst each particular
kind CT material until the general
public is at loss to know which to
select. The only certain way of
finding out Is to 60 and see for your
self and discard the opinion Of
others.
This is just what fifty more
Arcadians did recently and they al
most to a man came back convinced
that sand-asphalt roads are the only
kind this county can AFFORD to build.
Some Of the party remain partial to
brick. but the fact that more than
two miles Of sand-asphalt can be
constructed at the cost of one mile
OF brick. has in a manner won them
over to the sand-asphalt side OF the
quest: Enterprise.

TRESPASSERS KILLED ANNUALLY

With the design of bringing in
concrete form to public attention the
danger of walking on railroad
tracks, the New York Central is
senaing to the newspaper press
list of the trespassers killed or in
]ured on the roads of that company
during the month of August, 1915.
AS the railroad authorities say,
cit Is not a pleasing record, but it is
a grimly faithful one, and striking
ly illustrates the unfailing precision
with which the toll of life and limb
is exacted from those who recklessly
disreeard their personal safety by
walking along railroad tracks,"
Il goes without saying that these
ire passers were not railway en-
ployes, There wasnoreasonforashr
ploycs. There was no reason for a
single one of these unfortunates con-
tributing life or limb to a needless
and appalling sacrifice. Yet the rec
ord of killing or manning trespassers
continues with distressing regular
ity. not only on this railroad, but on
every American steam railroad and
is multiplied until it reaches the
horrifying total Of more than 10,-
900 human beings killed or serious
ly injured in the country in this
manner every year.
More than one-half of such acct
dents are fatal.
Statistics prove that the majority
of the lives thus sacrificed are Of
valuable wage earning citizens.
Many even are women and children.

a festival was celebrated at this season long be-

the winter festival of the heather Britcns were
both celebrated about December Is; and later.
the Roman festival in horor of the sun god.

day became to be known as the Birthday OF the
