Suggestion Approved

The Tampa Tribune gives three
well written paragraphs in COM
mendation of the following sensi-
BILE words from the pen of editor
Jordan, of the PuntA Gorda Her
aid:
"Christmas has become a night
mare to most of the bread winners
who have to pay the cost. Why
not quit giving presents to any
persons over fourteen years old
and let people over that age mere
ly exchange Christmas cards?"
We do so much wish somebody
would send all of 'em a marked
copy of what the Tribune and
Herald say on this subject, and do
it quickly, so they'll understand
our action is backed up by good
authority.-Arcadia News.

Movie Picture Etiquette

Perhaps many of those who ha
bitually attend the movies think
that because there is no spoken
word coming from the screen, con.
versation does not annoy others in
the audience, if that is what a
crowd at picture show can be
called.
But, all the same, it is a gross
violation Of the proprieties Cor at-
tendants to carry on a lively con-
versation during the course of the
entertainment. 1t distracts the at
tention of those who desire to fol-
low the story in all its variations
and incidents and makes the hour
an unpleasant one instead of what
it ought to be, a real pleasure.
1t is probable that .he takers
in a movie theater do not realize
just how much of an annoyance
they are, and if the management
could, in some way, possibly by a
simple request on the screen, call
attention to the desirability of ST.
lence, the nuisance could be very
much abated.
Then, again, there are those
who seem, in some way to have
absorbed the idea that those a.
round them cannot read the run
ming text occasionally flashed up
on the screen to give the necessary
clues to the action. IL such peo-
pie would just think moment
that it is not at all necessary to
inform those around them what
the inscription says, for as a mat
ter of fact, it is very probable that
every movie attendant over seven
years of age can read, and those
under that age can get along with
out the information so freely Civ
en- by those who read audibly the
wording of the scenarios
There is movie picture show
etiquette that ought to be Follow
ed Just as we follow the dictates
of good taste IN other things.-Mi-
ami Herald.

bians Before Whom the Bull
garians are Giving Way - En-
tente Losses Estimated by Cop
enhagen Research Society.
London, Eng.-The fate of Bu-
charest apparently is sealed.
The Teutonic advance towards it
is going on unchecked, Roumanian
attempts to stop it have been um-
successful, says the Russian offic-
ial statement.
Petrograd mentions also Ploes-
ci, thriry-five miles north Of Bu-
charest, as another point in the di-
rection of which the invading
armies are moving without effec-
tive opposition. Ploesci is on the
line of the only railroad road of
retreat for the Roumanians oper-
ating in the vicinity of Bucharest.
The threat to Ploesci seemingly
means the speedy evacuation Of
Bucharest if the Roumanians hope
ito make an effective retreat over
the railroad line towards Molda-
via. On the south Of the capital
Field Marshall Won Mackensen s
Danube army was reported Mon
day within twelve miles Of the
city. The Roumanian forces op-
posing the Teutonic advance from
the west is declared defeated by
Berlin, on the Argchu. On the
northwest the Austro- German ar
mics pushing from the mountain
passes are aiding materially in the
effort to complete the enveloping
process and break through to the
Roumanian line Of retreat.
On the Macedonian front the
Serblans are following up their
victory in the Grunshte region
and have captured the village of
Stravina, three miles north of
Grunishte, according to Serbian
official statement. The Bulgari-
ans are retreating northward ap-
parently to Novik, north of Stra-
vina.
The Serbians are announced by
Paris to have made progress along
the bend at Cerna, further west,
north of the village of Paralovo.

tente powers duri@g the war at
