Mrs Hoffman, went on the stage
first in San Francisco, in the chorus Of
musical stock company. One day she
was given small dance to do alone,
and she did 1t SO well that the leading
woman of the company offered her an
opportunity to go east, and loaned her
enough money for her railway fare.
The east, however, was pretty well
filled with girls hunting engagements,
and the Pacific coast applicant had a
hard time until she obtained position
with the Bijou company.
Richmond, Norfolk, Atlanta and other
southern cities were visited, and after
a while she came to be known as the
little girl in lavender" Later she dis
! appeared from the comic opera stage
to reappear soon after as Gertrude
HOFFMAN,. dancer. mimic, stage man
ager and producer. She discovered
herself as star in "A Partisan Model"
OF which her husband was the author.
The premiere danseuse was taken ill,
and Miss Hoffman, went on in her
place, without preparation, and was a
complete success.

ago when the sale Of the raw seal
skins took place for the first time
in this country. It was a success.
Better prices were had than the for
eign ones. The government got more
and it cost the government less. Last
year there was no sale because there
was no market and congress au-
thorized withholding the same. On
October Fl, 1915, a second sale Of
government fur skins, this time fox
skins, was made in this country with
even greater success. There were
buyers from many foreign lands and
the prices were higher than ever be-
fore obtained. Meanwhile, the de-
partment has been planning to es-

This should be rather a fortunate
day. Venus and Neptune are in a
strongly benefic aspect and Saturn is
slightly adverse.
1t is time in which women should
benefit, especially in gaining intuition
and poise through spiritual insight.
Owing to the powerful influence of
planets that increase religious aspira-
ton and add to the sensitiveness of
mortals to psychic influences, those
who depend on physical and material
conditions are believed to be more
likely to suffer ills of body and mind
than they would be under ordinary
conditions.
This peculiar government of the
planets is said to produce the great
est extremes of conduct and in coun-
tries afflicted by war supreme pa
triotism will be contrasted by brutal
selfishness, graft and greed.
Women should be fairly lucky while
this rule prevails. They will find
much work to do in all altruistic fields
of endeavor and are warned against
the danger of confusing essentials
with non-essentials.

A play in which a women problem
is presented will make a sensation

American Fur Industry.

The United States is the largest
producer of raw seal skins in the
world. It is also the largest consumer
of finished seal furs. This would
seem to make it natural that it should
sell its own seal skins and dress and
dye its own furs. It never has, how
ever. We have in the past sent our
raw seal skins to London. We have
paid London for dressing and dyeing
them. and we have brought them
back, paying duty on them on their
return and the incidental charges due
to double transportation. This added
50 per cent to the price of the raw
skins, SO that the fur laid down in
America, ready to be made up into
garments, cost over one-half more
than it did when It was purchased as
= raw skin.

PETITION SENT GOVERNOR
BY THE BAY FISHERMEN

Destin, Fla, Nov. 5, 1915.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Some weeks ago, petition, signed
by hundreds Of fishermen of Florida,
was presented to Gov. Park Tram
nell, asking that he grant an extern
sion of short period of time, as to
enforce the three-inch mesh law on
Oct. 1st, would not only mean a loss
of thousands of dollars worth of nets
and seines that were in excellent con-
dition, but would be total loss if the
mesh law was enforced as written
Gov. Trammell's reply was to the
effect that as the law had been duly
passed by our numerous legislators
and signed by himself, he did not
have the power to change it, and to
expect the enforcement on Oct. 1st
as passed.
Now the writer would like to know
if Mr.. Hodges, the commissioner, is
larger in official power as well as
avoirdupois than the chief executive
of this state? Can Mr.. Hodges ig-
more law, that our entire legisla-
ture made, and that this same COM
mander of the $4,000 yacht gun-boat
is paid three thousand dollars year
to enforce? Why does the state need
an expensive armed floating palace
to roam over the waters learning
gunnery to one man, presumably to
be used on fishermen who kick against
being slowly starved to death. a
The fish law reads that fish can
not be taken with less than three
inch mesh net or seine. l have a
letter from Mr.. Hodges that states:
II do not think that the Legislature
intended to prohibit the taking OF
bait" Now, who pays Mr.. Hodges
for thinking? He evidently has en-
forcing and thinking mixed. As the
people understand it, the Legislators
are paid to use their brains, and the
commissioner with his porpoise ex-
terminator is paid to enforce the fish
laws as made.
Fishermen of Florida, organize ano
send your representatives to the cap
ital. Let them draft the laws thai
govern you, and at the polls mex
election register the working mems
| protest against such political plum'
as the command of the Roamer.
What would the taxpayers say t
a $4,000 armored automobile for /
pure food inspector or city dog catch
er? Oh! what a yell would go up
If the commissioner with the able as
sistance of his numerous deputies
thinks he needs boat to subdue out
law fishermen, hunbly petition tn,
state to dispose of the Roamer, ant
4 permit Mr.. Hodges to buy a ROY
boat, so he can earn his salary, at tn,
same time learn what fishermen do t,
secure the fish they sell for living
There are boats fishing without pay
ing the taxes and uing small mesl
seines, which are unlawful. Does tn
voters think this is fair to the PEG
pie who have bought lawful nets an
paid their taxes? If the fish com
, missioners are not going to enforc
, the law, why not put notice to tina
effect in one of our newspapers, S
we will know what to expect?
