SPEEDING UP THE NEW SCHOOL

The immediacy of response to sug-
gestion contained in these columns yester-
dav, with mass meeting called for Wed
nesday night to determine on the new
high school building, shows how accurately
The Journal interpreted public opinion and
its demands in this important direction.
AS is announced elsewhere in this issue,
the meeting will be held at the city hall.
and will be called to order at half past seven
by Mrs D. Kugleman president of the
Parents and Teachers Society.
City officials, educators, and the citizen
ship generally will thus be enabled to take
council together and determine their course
in what promises to be one of the most
democratic appeals to popular government
in the history of Pensacola.
To Professor Rogers, principal OF the
school, to R. Pope Reese, and the other
members of the Investigating committee
to Superintendent of Education Edwards,
and to Mayor Hinrichs, the thanks OF the
community are especially due for their zeal
in arranging the details of the meeting
nor should reference be omitted to the
Parents and Teachers Society, the Rotary
club, and the numerous private individuals
| whose interest has helped crystalize SEN
timent
The future is now in the hands OF the
people of Pensacola.

COST OF GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Statistics gathered from thirty-six cities
ranging from 10000 to 465, 1000 in popula-
ton, show that Pensacola's system of
garbage collection and disposal compares
very favorably, in cost, with that of the
most modern centers Of the United States.
Strangely enough, the highest and lowest
costs are found in Ohio The garbage bill
of Canton is S1.38 a year per capita; while
in Dayton it is only fifteen cents.
Altoona Penn, $4,000 inhabitants,
spends $42 600 a year on the collection and
disposal of garbage, per capita cost of
50 cents; Charleston, S. c., $4,000, $4,000
or II cents; Richmond, Ind, %, 900, 81, 200,
or 80 cents; GAINESVILLE, Ohio, 5000, Sc, 500,
or % cents. Dayton, with population of
10000, spends $4,000, but receives a
yearly revenue of $4,000 to 5000 from
! the reduction plant, which explains its low
per capita cost
In Pensacola the cost of collecting
garbage amounts to $500 month, or Sc 000
year, and is contracted to private enter
prise. Incineration, however, is at the city's
expense, but the wages of the two foremer
and their assistants together with the de
probation on the plant and the interest or
the investment, will hardly bring the tota
cost up to S0,UOO, which will mean a pei
capita cost of about 80 cents.
If the cost is to be lowered further, some
such plan as Dayton's reduction method
must be adopted. Cities throughout the
country are turning their waste into profit
able industries Paper, rags and meta
have high value, and other substances, in
stead OF being destroyed, are turned into

FRANK |. MAYEs

Next Saturday, December 16, will be
the anniversary of the birth of Frank
l.. Mayes-one of the best men who
ever sat at the editorial desk of a
Florida newspaper.
A movement has been started by
Editor William A. uRssell, of the Pa
latka News, to have the newspapers of
the state join in memorial tributes to
the Pensacola, editor, who died at the
height of his usefulness, at the age Of
forty.
Frank Mayes was a power for good
in Florida, both as an editor and as
a citizen. The strength of his influ-
ence has not passed with his own
passing. He left an impress which
those left behind cannot obliterate or
forget. He was an agency of justice
and right thinking and right doing.
He fought sham and deception
wherever they appeared. He strove
for the clean in politics. and endeav-
ored to support the best man on the
best platform. He made mistakes, but
they were mental mistakes, not those

SECRETARY REDFIELD'S GOOD
ADVICE

Foodstufs, agricultural machinery, lum-
Der, and credits in the way of loans and in
vestments, will be Europe's needs as soon
as peace is declared, says Secretary of the
Interior Redheld, speaking before the
Southern Commercial Congress, meeting
IN Norfolk. Needs which Europe won't be
able to supply herself because of the severe
adjustments her economic system will be
forced to make from a war to a peace basis.
The point is well taken Foreign manu-
tacturers can not lay up stocks now, with
costs about normal, taxes rising, supplies
cut off, and skilled worktnen in the armies,
even if they were willing to run the chance
of changing designs; foreign business will,
therefore, enter into the worlds market
empty handed, and it will be long time
before machinery can be reassembled. a
force trained and industry taken up at the
place it was dropped.
This is our opportunity, as the secretary
added, but it is one we will never grasp un-
less we are properly provided in vocational
business training. If we pit unframed
minds and hands against those which have
been SO skilfully taught" he said, I'VE can

sary to cool the milk as soon as pos
sible to enable the cream to rise.
Where five or more cows are mil<ed

cream and SKINNED milk from the

dergone this process is good deal

of the separator cleans the milk OF all

MARK TWAIN AND THE KAISER

Professor Alphonso Smith, Roosevelt ex-
change professor at the University Of
Berlin in 1911, describing an interview with
the kaiser, says:
He reads Mark Twain, or has read to
him, and he enjoys him, but he said that
when ne met Mark Twain, it was only with
the greatest difficulty that he could get
him to talk at ALL
Commenting on which the Montgomery
Advertiser is mildly shocked to learn that
the great philosopher should have been
abashed in the presence of royalty
Mark Twain tells how, at the beginning
OF his career, when he was introduced to
General Grant, he said. General I'm en-
barrassed-are your" And years later, when
the author, famous then, was introduced to
President Grant, the latter opened the con-
versation with, I'm not at all embarrassed
are you?'
Mark Twain mentions Prince Edward,
the Empress of Austria, and some royalty
of more or lesser light, but always in a sat
lr1cal sense; but unless our memory plays
Us false, he never, in any of his writings or
speeches alludes to the kaiser. In an author
SO subjective, is not this significant? Does
not the fact that Mark Twain who has
written hardly anything but his own ex-
periences, not even mentions the kaiser, ex-
plain the reason why he didn't seek to be
entertaining namely, he wasn't interested
in him?
This would be an excellent opportunity

to send it to the lady's house afterwards
with a polite little note calling attention to
the fact that he really did possess such an
article of raiment, was not averse to kings
| Quite the contrary, he has paid the greatest
compliment in all literature to a king

Rose Brett rarely allowed herself
that weak and plebeian emotion-rage.
More rarely still did she permit her
strong and masterfuI self to show it.
But here was a situation such as had
never confronted Mrs. Brett before.
Her husband, her silent and self-ef-
facing mate, who for 20 years had
logged comfortably beside her in well
fitting matrimonial harness, was being
flattered and entertained by beau
tiful woman! Not only that, but he
was hugely enjoying it!
Rose was amazed at her own feel
ings. Just as the waters of a dam,
long pent up and placid, when sud-
denly swollen by storms, break into
torrents of terrible force, so Roses
outraged wifeship and mastership
burst bounds and engulfed her hus-
band.
Rose was, enthusiastically, at the
steering wheel, her husband beside
her. For some minutes she drove the
car silently. She was at that point of
anger where an ordinary woman
would have burst into tears. Rose
only turned cold and was unable to
speak in natural voice.

Brett she said tensely, her nostriis
dilated, her breast heaving, "but 1 de-

all is an old one-an elderly man who
suddenly throws dignity to the winds
and lets himself be cajoled by an
actress through the cheapest opera
bouffe methods. In public, too, among
his friends and those of the wife he
seems to have lost entire regard for.
Carter Brett during the first part OF
his wife's trade had sat back quietly
smiling. But at her final words he
suddenly looked grave.
STEADY, Rose, steady he said in
low, kind tone. Don't be absurd
His words, however, only angered
her the more. Roses resentment was
