TAX SCHOOL DIs IlcI
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL BY CITY
COUNCIL OF BILL TO BE SUB
MiTTED BY BOARD OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION.

A special meeting of the Daytona
municipal council, held Wednesday
evening, was attended by all mem
bers and the president of the body.
The objeot Of the meeting was to con-
slider a request for the councils ap-
proval of certain legislation affect
ing the public schools of Daytona,
which is about to be proposed by
the city board of public instruction
to the Florida legislature.
About two years ago, an over
whelming majority of the voters of
! the city voted affirmatively on a pro-
posal to issue school improvement
bonds to the amount of $4,000. The
city had outgrown the buildings erect
ed some years ago, and it became
necessary to provide more room for
the rapidly growing number of pu-
pills. But when the bonds were of
fered for sale, attorneys for prospect
i've purchasers questioned the legal
right Of the municipality to issue
| bonds for school purposes, unless the
city was, by act of the legislature,
made a special tax school district.
The doubtful validity of the bonds
rendered. of course, their sale next
to impossible.
Now. 1t is proposed by the city
school board to have the legislation
enacted, and City Attorney E. F
Oates has drawn for the board a bill
| covering the case in such a manner
as to legalize a sehool-bond issue
The bill was read before the council
members, at the special meeting, and
tthey unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution:
| Be 1t resolved by the city council
of the city of Daytona that. whereas
1t is the opinion of the city council
that for the best interests of the pub
lie schools of said city, that the terri
tory embraced within the corporal,
limits of said city become a specia
tax school district, with power e
bond itself; that the legislature O
the state of Florida be asked t.
amend the charter of the city of Day
tona so as to repeal the present pro
visions as to its system of schools
and to pass such bills as may be nee
esSary to create at once the above
mentioned territory into a specia
school district as recognized and pro
yided for by the constitution and law,
of the state of Florida"
President w NJ. Hankins, of tn,
municipal board. and Attorney Gate,
expect TO leave Thursday Afternoon
for Tallahassee to present the bill L
the legislature. Ii is not anticipate,
that there will be any serious diff
Guilty encountered in getting favo,
able action on the measure.

Anna Case Concert.

A wide range of composers con-
.ributed to the program of Nine Anna
Case, the star of the third concert of
the "ten-star SERIES" presented at the
New National Theater by T. Arthur
Smith, yesterday afternoon. 1t served
to disclose not only delightful So
prano voice of wide range and superb
training, but dainty singer whose art
of Interpretation WED with an appeal
ing personality to win her audience
from the outset and to promote an
increasing interest as each new selec-
tlon disclosed new beauties in her
voice and consummate art of using it.
Nine Case Is quite different in type
from other distinguished artists of the
Metropolitan Opera Company who are
warm favorites in Washington. She
has youth and beauty to reinforce
charming manner and a splendid and
intelligently controlled vocal equip
ment, She is bit of a psychologist
also. as was demonstrated in her strik-
ing costume that could not fail to win
the feminine portion of her large audi
ence at the very outset.
! Her first group of songs included
sad and plaintive numbers by Rubin
stein, Chopin and Kjerulf, with bril-
liant climax in That's the World in
June" the composition of her gifted
accompanist, Charles Gilbert Spross
Insistent applause brought The songs
My Mother Taught Me" for an encore.
Her next number was the aria Uhe
mad scene) from Lucia di Lammer-
moor" which was SO brilliantly rem
dered that four recalls were demanded
This was followed by Thomas Mem
ory," Schumann's 'Roselein," Borodine's
'Dissonance" and Thomas Ma Vol
sine" The last group comprised Ru-
binstSin's "Mein Herr Schmuckt Sich
nit Dir My Lovely Celia" an old
English song; Korsakows song of In
dia, Thy Hidden Gems Are Rich Beyond
All Measure" wonderfully beautiful and
exquisitely sung, and the andante

brilliantly rendered, with "Will O the
.Wisp' as an encore, completing Nine
Cases first concert in Washington, an
entertainment that VIII not readily
pass from the memory of those who
I heard it.

trast in voice and execution TO Mime

that of the brilliant young star of the
afternoon.

WINTER CONSULTATIONS
WELL UP IN EVENING SKY
Autumn Stars Are Passing Gradually
From the Observation of
the Gazers.

The winter consultations of the
heavens are now well up in the even-
ing sky, as the autumn stars pass
practically from the observation of star
gaZers.
The brilliant sun Sirius is still low
in the southeast, while Orion and
Taurus can be seen still higher in that
section of the southeastern sky. Pro-
cyon can be located to the left of Sirius
and above him is Gemini, and still
higher in the heavens is Auriga, be-
yond which shines Perseus. almost
overhead. Westward from the zenith
hangs Andromeda and Pegasus. the
most prominent of all the galaxy of
the celestial consultations.
At this season of the year the iso-
lated and distant suns Fomalhaut and
Beta Cetl, in the southwestern heavens,
appear more brilliant in their loneli-
ness as they twinkle through the many
light years it requires their radiance
to reach our earth.
Far in the northwestern heavens can
be seen Cygnus and Lyra, while Cas-
siopeia is high above the pole, with
Cepheus below the pole. To the left
are Draco and Ursa Minor, which are
also below the pole.
During this month the planet Mercury
is a morning star. He is ON Virgo not
far from the great star Spica, which he
greatly excels in brilliancy. Venus is
now an evening star. setting less than
an hour. after the sun.
The planet Mars is now in the con-
stellation Leo and is growing brighter
as the days pass. Mars is to become
the most conspicuous object in the
heavens early in January. 1915, at
which time astronomers at all the great
n 0t~C nf ha ~
make some new discoveries on the face
of our nearest neighbor in space. Jupiter
is now on the meridian in the early even
ing, and is the most brilliant object in
the evening sky. Saturn is now in
Gemini, and rises about s rs pm This
planet, with his rings is the most wonder
full object that can be observed through
a telescope.

HIKE BEGINS TOMORROW

Wanderlusters Schedule an "Of-
ficial' Walk Under the Lead
ership of James P. Greene.

Tomorrow's official hike of the wan
derlusters is to start from Cabin John
bridge at 2:40 o'clock. the leader being
James P. Greene. Some of the walk
lovers decided to go on an all-day out
ing at greater distance, but owing to
the fact that it had been announced
earlier in the season that the only all
day walk should be that. taken to An
tietam, this outing is not to be desig-
mated as an Official one
The wanderlusters feel that the most
popular form of walk is that which
they have been giving, for the most
part, the afternoon trip. The all-day
outing, except on holidays, they decid-
ed, was good about once year, but the
majority preferred the afternoon jaunt.
Decided at Business Meeting.
AT a business meeting recently it was
decided that the trip to Rock run'should
be the only official" one, and that while
those who wanted to go for the all-day
excursion could do So the matter would
not be considered asa part of the regu-
lar wanderlust movement Because of
a misunderstanding on the part of some
OF the mixers, however. notice was
given the press of the nom official trip
The afternoon hike tomorrow is to
take in the gold-mining district north
OF Cabin John. 1t is a section of the
country hitherto unexplored by the
Wanderlusters and it is anticipa ted that
a record breaking crowd will be on
hand, especially with the weather prob
abilities holding forth so great a prom
ise for an ideal day.

DEMAND FOR OYSTERS LIGHT.
Receipts From Potomac Unusually
Good, But Weather Hurts Sales.

While the receipts of oysters from
Potomac beds has been unusually good
at the 11th street wharf market in the
past two or three days, the demand
has fallen off in consequence of the
warm weather and now, for the first
time this season. there is a small glut
in the oyster market. There were w.
ing at the wharf late yesterday after
noon about a dozen boats, all oyster
laden, and the demand was light. With
the coming Of cooler weather today it
is expected the oyster market will take
on new life, and many of the dealers
uptown will lay in stocks for the com
ing weeks demand.
Masters of oyster runboats report good
catches being made by the dredgers.
but say to get oysters they have to
enter into competition with the buyers
for the packing houses at Baltimore
and elsewhere, and this keeps the prices
up on the oyster grounds. The condi-
tion of the oysters now being brought
to this market is exceptionally good
the oysters being fat and of good
flavor.
