ANTIQUES OF ITALY,
BEING EXPORTED
TO UNITED STATES
BY Associated Press)

Rome, March 0.-Italian an
tiqucs are being exported to the
United States in unprecedented
quantitis, according to United States
Consul William F.. Kelly. During
the past year the export of such
items amounted to the value of
1884 GIG as compared to $169,170 in
1914, and sl41,44l in 1913, the
reason being that antiques have zen
orally become drug on the Euro
pean markets as against the new
souvenirs and curiOsitics Greater by
the present war.
1t seems to be general opinion
that after the war antiques will de-
preciate still more in value and in
terest This, however, is a mistaken
view, according to the Rev Walter
Il. Lowrie, rector of the American
church in Rome, who is well
known antiquarian. "In no sense, :"
he says, will the gigantic opera
tions of this war swamp or submerge
interest in the past. The war had
its origin in the historical ambitions
Of the individuals and nations OF Eu-
rope. We can explain its aspects
only by going back into history, and
the very largeness OF this war makes
these relics more important =

MRS. ERNEST THOMPSON
SETON IS AT MIAMI

Miami, March 10. Mrs. Ernest
Thompson Seton, wife of the famous
writer of nature stories and former
Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of
America is among the interesting
people who are in Miami right now.
She is at the Royal Palm hotel for
few days on a sightseeing trip.
Mr.. Seton is not here.
An interesting incident occurred
in connection with the discovery of
Mr.. Seton's being a subject OF the
British crown, for 1t was while Mrs.
Setoa was campaigning and working
in the interests of suffrage that tbs
fact became known. Because of this
discovery Mr.. Seton was ousted
from his place as head of the Boy
Scouts. It Is understood that he is
in process of becoming naturalized.
Mrs. Seton is a California woman
and worked for suffrage during the
recent victorious fight of the women
in that State.

'.5-.. a RAILROAD2Y. N. CA.
IN LAKELAND

A meeting of representative citi-
zens was held at the KibIer Hotel
this afternoon at which time the es-
tablishmcnt of Railroad Y. M. c..
A. in Lakeland was discussed and
the matter gone into at considerable
length.
At this meeting were Mr.. G.. X
Roper, Jr., of Washington, d. c.,
who is railroad secretary of the in
tcrnational committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association, and
State Organizer Maple, whose head
quarters are at Jacksonville.
Mr. Roper stated that if the citi-
zcns OF Lakeland would purchase a
site and furnish and equip build
ing, the Atlantic Coast Line would
erect building to cost anywhere
from s25,0OO to $4,000
Those present at the meeting were
highly enthusiastic over the propo-
sition, and it is highly probable that
stock company will be organized
and funds secured with which to Sc
cure Lakeland this great improve
ment, which would be a great moral
benefit to the city and one OF its
chief assets and attractions.
