arrive at that low plane OF human IN
teIigence where they almost cease
to be men. This is the stage in which
95 per cent Of the workers of the ca
tering industry, principally cooks,
find themselves at the present time.
On the other hand, any skilled
workman of other trades or profess
sion, even if he be an ex-convict, can,
upon the showing of efficiency, OBJ
tain employment, but when a cook or
chef seeks a job he is generally sub
jeCted to an inquisitoriaI eXamina-
ton concerning his character and an
tecedents, the scrutiny which SO per
cent of employers could not them
selves stand. Is this not an open
confession of the Importance the en-
plOyers attach to the person in
charge of the most important and
indispensable department, without
which no hotel, restaurant, club, pri-
vate or public institution could exist.
The profession of cook stands on
a level with the highest and most
useful of occupations, but cooks and
other culinary workers that are Ia
menting the precarioUs and generally
unfair conditions under which they
are working have only themselves to
blame. One lies in his bed the way
he makes it. And if they only would
wake up and observe what other
trades have done for themselves
through the power of association, in
stead of waiting for some one else
to pull their chestnUts out of the
fire, they soon would be treated, re-
spected and retTibUted as they are
entitled to be, and could then enforce
their own conditions the same as en-
plOyers limit their salaries to their
employees. - Leon Pescheret, Vice

rive In ninety days. The Emerson car
IS built to enter the Ford field, and is
the first car to be sold beneath the
Ford price. The company is capital
lied at $4,000, 900, and an immense
factory is now being built. Accord
ing to Mr.. Weeks, the capacity of the
plant viii be 800 cars per day. The
first shipment of cars is to be made

DEAD SOLDIER is REVIVED
British Surgeon Messages a Mans
Heart and Thus Restores
Its Action.

London.-A wonderful case of re-
storing the dead to life has Just come
to light in the case of Lance Corporal
Mayes of the Queens Westminsters,
who had part of his right arm blown
off by shell in the. fighting at Ypres.
The injury was so bad that after
the first-aid dressings the limb had
to be amputated. He came to Eng
land and was in a hospital in the Mid
lands for some time. A short time ago
he recovered sufficiently to leave the
hospital and came to London appar-
emily quite well. But from some rea-
son infection again appeared in the
amputated arm and further opera
ton was deemed necessary TO stop
the danger of poisoning.
Corporal Mayes was put under an
anesthetic, but the heart collapsed and
ceased to beat. The case seemed to
be hopeless and the waiting relatives
In few minutes would have been
informed of his death. But. Dr. Lionel
e. G. Norbury, the distinguished sur
geon who handled the case, was not
beaten. He made an incision in the
side of the patient and, inserting his
hand and lifting the diaphragm,
reached the heart and gently mas
saged the organ with his fingers. The
heart responded to the action and be-
gan to beat again. The patient had
been restored to life when all other
means would have failed.
Lance Corporal Mayes is now on
the high road to complete recovery.

Higher Prices May Still Continue

That higher prices may obtain dur
ing the coming months, or that some
manufacturers will be compelled to
raise their prices next winter, is the
opinion of III. M. Jewett, president of
the Paige Detroit Motor Car Co. No
sensational novelties along mechani-
cal Ines are likely to come to the
front during the coming season, he
believes, although he admits that
some genius may arise with some rev.
dictionary, practical idea for motor
cars. However, in the meantime the
Paige president advises the prospec-
tive purchasers to get busy and buy
the object of their choice, before the
price goes up. With materials and
labor at the present price no manu-
facturer can reduce the price of his
car without sacrificing the quality of
the product which he has worked
years to attain.

The few of our state contemporary
les who want the primary discontinued
and return made to the convention
system, argue that under the primary
plan great many republicans, So
cialists, prohibitionists, etc, vote as
democrats. That is true, but how
about choosing convention delegates !?
Any man who has been in Florida a
quarter of century and can remem-
Der ante-primary politics, knows there
were many instances In which repub-
licans aided in the election of dele
gates to democratic conventions. Said
republicans did not force their votes
On the democrats, either; on the con-
trary, they were invited by some DEM
ocrats to give them their votes against
other democrats. We personally knew
of many such instances, some of them
right here in Oca1a. Tt was very
much worse in larger cities, particu-
larly in some wards in Jacksonville,
where not only white republicans but
negroes were used in the strife be-
tween factions. Another thing was
that after a democrat was nominated,
if he didn't suit a faction of his party,
bolt often followed and sometimes
succeeded. Even democrat was not
pledged to his party nominee like he
has been by voting in the primaries.
On the other hand, under the primary
system, many republicans, socialists,
ETC., have been allowed to vote because
it was understood that by their vot-
ing in the primary, they pledged
themselves to vote for the nominee in
the general election. That most Of
them did SO is proven by the unbroken
record from 1900 to 1914, during which
no primary nominee has been rejected.
1t may be said in closing that there
has been little fault found with the
primary, even the Bryan primary, in
Marion county. The reason why is
that we have an honest and intelIi-
gent set of voters. It's much better
for such counties to insist that the
others work up to their standard than
that they be dragged down to the con-
vention system and dirty politics of
those counties which are yet in the
dark ages.

Certain state papers have been
working themselves into frenzy be-
cause FLORIDA has only elected three
democratic delegates to the national
convention, when it was entitled to
six They forget that because Of
no opposition, the other three were
named as delegates without being
obliged to have their names printed
on the primary ballot.-Palatka News.
Said frenzy was caused by our es-
teemed contemporary, the Tampa Tri-
bune, and was the second false alarm
set off by that paper since the pri-
mary. Lambright has gone on a va
cation; perhaps he will straighten out
all the kinks in his intellect before he
returns.

In regard to this Knott-Catts con-
test, the democratic voters of Florida
will please take notice of the follow
ing easily proven facts: Cats, who
denounces Knott, for contesting, insti-
tuted the first contest, disputing the
returns in an Alachua county precinct
and going to the courts to enforce his
claims. That Knott did not institute
his contest on the charge of fraud, but
on that of inaccuracy in counting in
number of precincts, which claim of
his has been borne out by every re-
count SO far made. That Knott hasn't
abused anybody nor threatened to
bolt. That Cats and his partisans
have abused everybody who disagree
with them and declare that Cats shall
he the nominee whether a recount
shows him to have a plurality or not.

marriage of e. M. Mitchell of Denver

The couple had not seen one another
for nearly twenty years until several
months ago, when Wichita was includ-

He met Miss Watson's brother on

The Transmission

In the recent report of the nomen-
clature division of the Society of Au-
tomobile Engineers, the resignation
transmission" is applied to the speed
changing gear assembly. While this
is quite in line with common practice,
it is hardly consistent with strict ac-
curacy. If this particular set Of gears
is called the transmission, what
term is left for the whole system of
transmitting power to the rear
wheels? As matter of fact, the
transmission" is made up of all the
parts sharing in the transmission of
energy from the point of delivery to
the point of application, and the par
ticular set of gears In question is but
one link In the chain. Clutch, pro-
peller shaft, bevels, axle shafts, might
with equal propriety be called trans
mission" An alternative "gearset"
is vastly better. It is by no means
perfect, but it is much more specific
than Transmission, even If less ac-
curate than the cumbersome Change
speed gears.1Exchange.

U. S. Mail Has All Motor Cars

The United States postoffice depart
ment, during the past two years, has
extended its government motor
mail service until it new operates Al
mail automobiles, which are all the
direct property of the United States
government. The purchase value of
these vehicles is given as more than
100000, which would figure as an
average price of S1,250 for each car.
The operating expenses of these Ali
cars, including wages of drivers, gar
age maintenance, supplies and repairs,
totaled 100000 per year. The post
office authorities state that this
amount is less than had been paid in
former years for the service rendered
under contracts with private concerns.
The apparent economy of the govern
ment-owned cars will probably have
an important bearing on future pur-
chases of cars.-Automobile Topics.
