West Florida VS..
the East Coast.

There are two things that bring
winter visitors to Florida, and since
the east coast has for years gotten a
big majority of the thousands COM
ing into this state yearly it behooves
West Floridians and Pensacolians in
particular to find the reason for this.
In the beginning it is a well known
fact that the climate is the essential
thing that prompts the visitors from
the North, the East and the West to
come to Florida. A comparison Of
the weather charts are proof positive
that West Florida has the superior
climate. The dry warm atmosphere
of the gulf coast is more desirable in
every way to the damp air of the east
coast.
Take the climate into consideration,
and West Florida would get all Of
the tourists.
Historical points of interest and
other forms of amusement appeal to
the tourists. In these Pensacola has
more toEher credit than any other city
in America. What city has such bodies
of water surrounding it What city
has flying over it, like birds, scores of
Uncle Sans aircraft? Where can
you find city with the ancient and
modern forts that Pensacola has, and
where is there such superb hunting
and fishing?
Surely not in Florida.
Let us study this tourist business
for a few moments, and then, if it is
worth while, 20 after it just like Pen
sacola went after the new road,
opened new and strong banks, and
carried on the other improvements.
That the tourists would leave hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars here
annually if the industry, if it may
be called an industry, were developed.
goes without saying. That cur eli
mate SURPRISES any in America can
not be disputed, so let Pensacolians
resolve to spread the .tidings of this
section as a winter resort.
The tourists want to go to the best
place They will come here if the
proper advertising campaign is put
on.

Good Times For
Tungsten Mines.

The production of tungsten ores in
the United States during 1915 broke
the record and was apparently equiv
alent to about 2,165 short tons Of con-
centrates, carrying sixty per cent of
tungsten trioxide (WO), and was
valued at more than $4,000, 900. These
figures are based on preliminary re-
turns to the United States Geological
Survey. The largest previous output
Of tungsten ore was in 1910, when
1921 tons was produced.
Conditions and prices in thetung-
stem market were unsettled and some
what anomalous. Although the price
IN the latter part of GA was SO or
more a unit, sixty per cent ore was
sold in the early part of 1915 as low
as $3.50 unit, so that tungsten min
ing did not start very briskly. Early
IN the summer, however, floods of
orders for munitions of war caused a
great demand for high-speed steels,
to be used in cutting shells, rife bar
rels, ETC.; an embargo was declared
by the British government ON the ex-
port of tungsten ores from any part
OF the British possessions, and there
was soon countrywide scramble for
tungsten ores. Probably no one fore
saw the height to which the price of
tungsten would rise, and some oper-
ators contracted for ores at prices
which in ordinary years would be
high, but which were soon exceeded
by several hundred per cent. Tungsten
metal was also contracted for at
prices much below those afterward
reached. In the fall the prices Of
tungsten reached unheard-of heights;
$4S per unit was paid FOR numerous
lots, $50 for some, and even higher
prices were reported. The prices
moved upward so rapidly and unex-
pectedly that strenuous tungsten

Back From Sea and Sky
From Golfers.

Vacation is over. Numberless sea-
shore and mountain resorts have sur
rendered their summer populations;
camps and country houses have given
the city back it's own. Routine is to be-
gin again. And now after our rest, we
take up our work like children at
play. If we have been in quiet con-
tact with natural things and natural
people, if we have made new and bet
ter friends, If we have realized in ma
ture new beaties of harmony, If we
have felt the thrill at sea and noun
tain and star. then we are coming
back to tho shop with a new hold on
living. The sea, perhaps, has called us
outward. The sky has called up up

these star-treading souls felt the
same zest of spirit at times and caught
visions OF new beauties, and through
them insight into new truths. The
magic of word and tone and color
swept in unembodied beauty through
them and was crystallized into lasting
symbols. Their souls were washed clean
with God and they let them flow, puri-
fled, into the eternal images of art.

been the results of vacations. And so
we come back, back to the desk, to the
shop, to the work of head and spirit
and hand, to breathe our rehabiltated
spirits into the tagging common life
of every day, thrilling with knowl-
edge that even a prosaic job may be a
splendid art. We hope anew. We shall

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Birmingham Plumbing Laws

birmingham IiumDIn2 Laws
To the Editor of The Age-H Herald:
Recently fight was made before the
city commissioners for an amendment
to the plumbing laws of Birmingham
that would allow the journeyman plum
Der to do plumbing with his own
hands by the day without paying a
license, The purpose of this law was to
allow those who desire to do so to get
their plumbing done at the least cost
possible.
Under the new law you can make
your own bond, get your own permit to
do the plumbing, but your fixtures
where you please and get a Journeyman
plumber to do the work by the day
and save from $25 to 500 on the job.
The following statement may interest
some one; it is certainly proof that
those who desire to do so can save
money on their plumbing by taking ad-
vantage of the new law:
have just placed in my home a five
piece outfit complete, with hot and cold
water, for $163.75, including permits
and inspections. Under ordinary con-
ditions this could have been done
cheaper l had very bad ditch, seven
feet deep, and 1870 feet long, but 1 got
this done with clap pipe laid for 1915
My plumbing cost s26 and the fixtures
cost 1924, making a total of $16S.T5.
This is quite different figure to
what the contracting plumber pro-
posed to charge me. He said that l
would have to pay $3.50 for the same
job. My fixtures are guaranteed as
to workmanship and material.
One of my neighbors, Mr.. Wilson, put
in a tour-piece outfit under the new
law for s14. The contracting plumber
wanted to charge him $40.
1t may be little hard to get the
journeyman plumber to work for you
now. 1 understand that the master
plumber is holding big stick over him
by telling him that the new law will
not last long and that if he goes out
and works for himself they will not
employ him any more.
Citizens of Birmingham, you have
just as much right to refuse to en-
ploy the master plumber as the jour-
neyman plumber has to refuse to work
for you, and / certainly would not fail
to take advantage of it. Why should
the 900 people of Birmingham al
low 81 master plumbers dictate to
them what they shall do? They do
not have to stand for. any such rot
if they will lift up their heads and act.
Now those who wish to pay $4,000
more than a job is worth, as a certain
firm in the city recently did, are at lib
erty to do SO; but on the 1st of JAM
uary let's make all who contract and
sell fixtures pay the city of Birming-
ham license to do business of this
kind. 1t is right.
If the journeyman plumber who is
willing to go out and give you an hon.
est days work should be allowed to do
so without paying license in the same
that brickmasons, plasterers
and painters are and you should see
that he is given this privilege. The
power lies with the people and they
should use it. J. o. CHANCEY,

A Hint to Money Makers

Jasper III Leslie ~
Most people buy stocks not because
they know anything about them, but be-
cause they see that they are going up
and that other people are buying. OF
course this means that other people are
selling, for there must be seller as
we'll as buyer. When all the financial
tipsters, and writer's and promoters are
urging the public to get in quickly and
buy some security on promises of prodi-
gious profits, leave that particular Sc
curity alone. None Of the stocks that
have had a heavy rise needed promotion
of this kind. None of them had It, They
were quietly accumulated by those who
knew something about their rapidly In
creasing earnings and their improved
condition and favorable outlook.
Some of my readers may say: II am
not student of finance. How shall I
find the guideposts to success?" Perhaps
some of these inquirers have bought a
horse. house or a building lot. Do
they buy any Ct these without investiga-
ton, examination and forethought? Prob
ably not. Certainly not if they are care
ful with their money.
Financial letters are sent out by some
of the best banking and brokerage
houses. They can be had without charge
by writing for them. The financial col
umns of the newspapers. in cold figures,
report the earnings Of most Of the big
corporations and also facts of particular
interest regarding their growth and de-
velopment. ! All these are read by the
careful investor who can then make up
his own mind as to what he should do,
confirming his Judgment perhaps by
watching the stock exchange reports
from day to day. These show the num-
Der OF shares of each stock sold and the
rise or fall in prices. This is a very
simple thing to do. Try it and see.
