ASSOCIATIONS ARE A HABIT
We Even Form Clubs Over Question
OF Teething Rings VS..
Thumb.

Our passion for getting up associa-
lions is bad symptom of intellectual
feebleness. Every trade and profess
sion among us, every interest and
prejudice, every aspiration, hypothe-
sis or question about question has
a gang of club members at it's back.
The fashionable mothers get up So
cieties to determine what plays their
children shall see during the holi-
days. I know of one woman who was
not able to decide whether she should
give rubber ring or a coral to her
teething child or should leave him to
nature and the thumb. She according
ly formed a society. 1t is called the
Ring and Coral association and meets
twice a month. It has recently split
into two organizations through the Sc
cession of the antiring and coralites.
By means Of these two societies any
mother may today escape the mental
anguish Of making a decision for her
self upon this teething matter.-John
J. Chapman, in Atlantic Monthly.

As sponges become scarcer the
fleets have to go farther and farther
out into the gulf to get q good harvest.
They now usually remain for two or
three months at a time, returning all
together at certain times of the year,
when the great sales are held. Early
fall, Christmas and Easter are the
times of the most important sales, and
upon these occasions Tarpon Springs
becomes one of the liveliest little
towns upon the globe.
The Greek diver is daring happy
go-lucky chap who makes big wages
and does not believe in saving them.
When he hits town he usually collects
several hundred dollars and proceeds
zealously to spend it all before going
to sea again. He is liberal and bois-
ferrous patron of wineshops and coffee
houses and movies. He decks himself
in the gaudiest and most expensive
clothes that money can buy. He rather
overruns the town, but seldom does
any harm either to himself or anyone
else.
Easter is the most important occa-
sion of all, being a great Greek holi-
day. There is much feasting and can
die light professions through the
streets at night. At the time of Christ
mas sale, the Greek Cross day is cele-
brated. The whole colony gathers at
the bayou behind the town. The young
men, all expert swimmers, line up on
the bank, clad only in trunks. The
priest throws wooden cross into the
water and there is a race for it, the
boy who wins it receiving a prize.
Several Kinds of Sponses.
When the sponges are brought up by
the divers they bear no resemblance
whatever to what you buy in a drug
store, for the commercial sponge is
merely the skeleton of an animal. In
the natural state it is covered with
thick mucous. This is pounded and

washed out, the roots are cut Off with
sheep shears, the sponges are sorted
according to variety and strung in
punches of ten to thirty each. There
are a number of varieties. The wool
sponges are the most valuable, others
being grass, yellow and wire sponges.
Sponges of all kinds are becoming
scarce and the prices they bring are
surprising. Wool sponges bring from
two to four dollars a pound. A little
ragged heap of sponges that you could
cart away in a wheelbarrow often sells
for several hundred dollars. The
sponges grow in banks upon the bot
tom of the gulf and the great object OF
the fisher is to discover new bank,
for large one is veritable bonanza.
When a sale is held the sponges are
carried to the water front, where they
form great heaps, divided according
to kind and quality. The buyers are
Americans, most of whom live in Tar
pom Springs as representatives Of va
rious northern firms. The Greeks, who
own the sponges, are on hand to ex-
hibit them and extol their value, but
there is no haggling. Sealed bids are
made upon each lot, and the highest
offer gets the sponges.
Tarpon Springs is an absolutely
complete and independent unit in the
sponge business. There is a local sup
ply house which deals in all the par
aphernalia of the divers, and the brass
helmets which they wear are made
by local machine shop. For the rest,
the outfit consists of rubber suit,
| iron shoes weighing IL pounds, rub
Der hose to connect the diver with the
pump on deck and the rope by which
he is lowered.
| From Tarpon Springs the sponges
go chiefly to New York, Chicago and
Cincinnati, where they receive the
/ final process of bleaching, and are then
placed on the retail market.

rings which gather up the silk and
shape the garment to the figure. The
collar ends in narrow frill lined with
a second frill of white organdie.
The waist line is outlined with rows
of shirrings forming belt, and shir-

at the head of faring cuffs. The belt

farther south, where they invested So
600 in a schooner and began diving for
Sponges with great success. The local
people held a mass meeting, decided
they did not want any ''furriners," ran
the Greeks out of town and burned up
their boat.
The Greeks then went to Tarpon
Springs, where they received very
different reception. The people rea-
hzed that Greeks could develop the
sponge industry to the great benefit of
the town. So they purchased boats and
equipment for these men from the
Mediterranean and set them to work.
Both the Greek colony and the
sponge business grew apace. The
Greeks now own their own boats and
about half of the local firms dealing in
gponges are owned by Greeks. They
also conduct all of the ice cream par
Tors, barber shops and poolrooms in
Tarpon Springs.
Greeks Have Their Own Quarter.
Although the Greeks dwell in their
own quarter of the town and preserve
their national customs, they live in per-
feet amity with the Americans. There
are very prosperous firms in the sponge
business which are conducted by
Greeks and Americans working in part
nership.
The Greek likes American business
methods, American money, American
movies" and many other American
things; but when it comes to cheese
wine and candy, he insists on having
his own. Hence there are in Tarpon
Springs many picturesque little shops
dealing in these things and in other
strictly Greek dainties which are be
yond the appreciation of an American
palate. There are also Greek coffee
houses, where you may see the divers

rVARPoN SPRINGS, on the west /

~ APRON SPRINGS, on the west
coast of Florida, claims the dis
tinction of being the largest
sponge market in the western
hemisphere. Over hundred schoon-
ers with their diving boats sail from
dts little river harbor to the sponge
beds in the gulf; and a local colony of
1000 Greeks are engaged almost
wholly in the sponge business. They
have imported their native methods
unchanged, even employing the same
picturesque boats with high prows and
brilliant colors that are used in the
Mediterranean.
The Greeks have monopoly OF the
business of diving for sponges, writes
Frederic J. Haskin.
They go down into 100 feet Of water
In rubber suits and helmets, cut the
gpcnges from the bottom with knife
and bring them to the surface in nets.
Now and again man gets his rubber
lines tangled and his air supply is cut
off, or he remains below too long and
becomes paralyzed. Sometimes a big
man-eating shark becomes unduly Curl
GUS and makes menacing swoop at
the diver His usual defense in such
a case is to open his sleeve and let out
a rush of air bubbles, which almost in
Variably frightens the shark away.
At any rate these undersea adven-
lures do not appeal to the Americans.
They are willing to take a risk for suf-
fcient cause, but not for a divers
wages. Before the Greeks came to
Florida sponges were taken only by
colored men, who went out in rowboats
and hooked" spOnges in comparative
1y shallow water with long poles. 1t
was a primitive and Intellectual method
and all Florida did not produce a
fraction of what is now exported annu-
ally from Tarpon Springs alone.
The Greeks saw their opportunity
and went first to another Florida town
