Womcn as Jockeys.

Since jockeys from the race courses
in England have gone, almost to a
man, TO the firing line, women have
professed themselves as eager to take
their places. Some already are trained
for the purpose, among them not a
few who, in more prosperous and less
beligercnt days, rode to hounds over
English fields and meadows. Many of
these, confident in their riding ability
and skill, have petitioned the stewards
Of Englands governing jockey club

Jockeys licenses. Recent reports bore
the information that the stewards are
giving the petition serious considera-
ton and that there is strong prob
ability of their granting 1t.

TO COOPERATE I'M RESEARCH
British Plan on Method Of Bringing
About Best Possible Results for
Various Industries.

Realizing that many Industrial firms
are barred from the benefits OF scien-
tific research into their particular
lines Of activity by the great cost re-
ports Consul Franklin ID. Hale, Hud-
dersfield, England, the Committee Of
the Privy Council for Scientific and IN,
dustrial Research proposes the intro
duction OF the cooperative idea. In
this way q firm that is unable 10 bear
the entire expense of research coul.l
contribute to the cost and share in
the benefits accruing TO an industry
as whole. 1t is planned to establish
trade research associations in England
to he formed as needed for each III
dustry or group of industries, and
aided by certain funds which tile com
mittee has i'll charge. One association
is about to be organized for the cot
ton industry. and others will be form
ed as soon as possible for the wool,
flax, oil, and Photographic industries.
The work that has already been ac-
complishcd through the committees
efforts, according to Mr.. Hale, includes
the discovery Of three kinds of optical
glass, the investigation of light alloys
for use in aircraft, and the production
Of new hard porcelain from purely
British raw material. Researches into
the recovery of fin are expected to
save that industry 4 very large
amount each year.

Tsruet Balloons.

In trimming aerial murksnen to shoot

use Of small target balloons which are
manufactured in large quantities, says
the Scientific American. Double tar
get balloons are made in two sections,
so that when one section is punctured
by successful shot from the gun of the
aerial apprentice the balloon remains
In the air, permitting second hit and
thus doubling the life of the target.
An electric air pump is being used to
fill the balloons.

TROOPS TO FRANCE

American troops are going to
France, without waiting for the or
ganization of the new army. That
question is definitely disposed of by
the orders issued by the war depart
ment for raising nine additional regi-
ments of engineers which are destin-
ed to proceed to France at the earliest
possible moment for work on the lines
of communication"
There is no kind of man-power that
France needs more than it needs these
engineers, and no equal number of
troops that the United States sends
abroad will render more valuable SER
vice.
Having decided to send engineers,
the war department will be doubly
wise if it decides also to send few
regiments of infantry to raise the
American flag on the firing-line.
Enough regulars and national guards
men can be spared at once for that
work, and the French have not over
estimated the sentimental value of a
brigade or two of American troops in
the trenches, the advance guard of
new army of democracy which will
eventually be ready to do it's share in
the cause of human freedom.
Nor is the sentimental value at
home to be overlooked. The Ameri-
can people will not begin to realize
the full significance of this war until
some Of their own men are in it, and
are doing the kind of work that
French, British, Belgians, Canadians
and Australians are doing every day.
Not until then will they begin to I'm.
derstand that this war must be won
at any cost and tina no obligation d.
volving upon the United States can be
shirked.-World.

WET OR DRY?

AT the last meeting of the board OF
county commissioners Mr.. John t.
Moore applied for a permit, under
Judge Bullock's recent decision, to
sell liquors, wines and beer in the
Ocala precinct, and the same will
come up at the June meeting for con-
sideration.
In the meantime the board has ap-
piled for supercedeas bond in the
sum of $500, and the same has been
granted by Judge Bullock.
Our understanding is that under
these proceedings the county remains
in the dry column until the case is
heard by the supreme court. If that
body reverses Judge Bullock's decis.
ion it will remain dry" if it affirms
his decision it will revert to the "wet'
column.
Just how long it will be before it
is considered by the supreme court is
indeterminate.

ABUNDANCE OF MONEY
MEANS PROSPERITY

An abundance of money spells pros
perity in flaming letters.
There is more money now in eircu-
lation and in process of circulation
than was ever before known since
the creation of the world.
The circulation of this money will
continue to increase until it reaches
all the arteries of trade.
Not only will the vast sums appro-
priated for the equipment of our own
army and navy but the billions loaned
to foreign governments will be spent
in this country.
Together they make sum so vast
that their contemplation almost stag
gers the imagination.
Other nations, the same as our own,
are spending millions every day, and
the aggregate, when peace shall have
been declared, will make a sum al
most too enormous for computation.
Owing to the fearful fatalities there
will be few, comparatively speaking,
to inherit these vast amounts which
will make the per capita circulation
immensely greater than was ever be-
fore recorded.
What is to be the outcome?
This money will not be boarded, but
will be invested in farms, city real es-
tate and private enterprises in many
ways, and we shall all feel its stimu-
lating and revivifying effects
Before our civil war the number of
our millionaires could be counted on
ones fingers, but after its termination
nearly every community in the north,
east and west boosted of any number
of them, and they would have been
even more plentiful in the south had
not it's money and bonds been repudi-
ated.
After the present world-war is. over
there will be no reputation, and the
money and bonds will be greater than
the tabled wealth of Croesus of an
cient times.
Florida just now is the very best ad-
vertised state in the Union, and her
climate, soil and productions justify
all the appealing and rosy-tinted liter
ature circulated in her behalf.
So we can reasonably count on a
large population for our state and a
tremendous increase in our industries.
