insufficient hangar space is per-
haps the best index to the growth of
the aeronautic station in the past
few months. When the station was
first established several canvas tents
housing one machine each lined the
beach and at that time We're ade-
quate for the needs of the school.
Then, the mother station of the
aerial fleet was content to remain the
school on a small scale, but with the
progress of aeronautics fostered at
the smaller station, there grew up a
greater demand. for more men and
more machines, and the need for
crater facilities, improvements which
would maintain the lead of the mo-
ther station, and assist in the de-
velopment of flying.
1t is the first results of that
growth that are just beginning to be
felt. Anticipating it, three per1na-
nent. hangers were erected, great
steel buildings, each housing six ma
chimes took the place Of the fimsy
canvas shelter along the beach. But
now evan these hangers are made
quate, and the canvas tents must be
brought out to supplement the larger
hangers until more permanent hang
ars can be built.
Provision has already been made
for nine other permanent structures,
duplicates of those now at the sta
ton, and when complete will have a
total capacity of 81 airplanes, COM
bined with the three present build
ings bringing the whole to 72 ma
chimes.
These should satisfy the demand
for space for long while, but even
now developments are taking place
which will probably result in the
/ building of more hangers after the
new ones are complete. For airplanes
are being built at the aeronautic sta
ton, the first is well under construct
ion, and if successful will probably
be followed by several others.
Should it be shown that the ex-
periments can well be conducted here
many of the details which are now
carried on at the Washington yard
will be done here and the scope of
| the work gradually enlarged.
Beyond the first limits set for the
station when first organized, there
has been introduced a second branch
of aeronautics which bids fair to de-
velop into a serious rival in import
ance to the airplane-the balloon
Last winter when the great kite bal
loon arrived the work was first

ENTHUSIAST MEET
At FIRST BAPTIST

The annual meeting of the members
of the First Baptist church was held
recently, was well attended and very
considerable interest was manifested.
The covenant of the church was read
with the members standing and the
roll of the members called.
Reports were received from the
several departments of the church and
showed an encouraging condition of
the work. Of special interest were
the report from the Womens Mission
ary Union which showed over $500
contributed by them to the different
objects fostered by them and the re-
port from the Sunday school which
showed considerable increase in regu-
lar attendance and the work being
done by it.
Enlistment cards pledging personal
work were distributed and very gen
orally signed by the members. The
pastor and members of the church
are very hopeful that, in the work ex-
pected to be done and the good ac-
complished, this year will be one OF
the best in the history of the church

The history of mechanically driven car
riages dates back to 1850 when Sir Isaac
Newton proposed a steam carriage to be
driven by the re-active effect of a jet of
steam issuing from the nozzle at the rear of
the vehicle. Some years later, crude car
riage was built, an early record OF which
reads as follows Mr. Pinchbeck has re-
Gently built curious steam machine that
has travelled without horses for forty min
utes and has covered considerable dis
tance." In 1859 there appeared an English
advertisement reading as follows: "Mr
Ladd's patent four-wheel carriage, that
goes without horses and will carry four or
five persons at the rate of six miles an hour,
is built on solid mechanical principles" In
1902 Richard Trevithick built steam car
riage which was exhibited at London, hav-
ing driven itself 90 miles In 1880 horse
less carriage named "The Automotion,
was built by Walter Handbook This was
really the first steam carriage that proved
at all practical. It covered 4,200 miles dur
ing its life and carried a total of 12,761 pas

Before summer rolls around again
which is the time when animals suffer most
from human inhumanity - Pensacola
should have Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
Fifteen years ago there was such an or
ganization here, and though it passed
away from want of support, no one will say
that the need is less than it ever was.
In the meantime, Sheriff Van Pelt, who
is protecting people from tigers will
most certainly do all he can to protect
horses and dogs from people. Sections
1895 and 34O1 of the Florida Statutes, if
enforced, will afford relief, but it is to assist
the officers of the law that the S. P. G. A,

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DAsNEY.

Every time we see a man with a
long tailed coat, we wonder if he has
hole in his pants.
That loud plopping noise is not nuts
dropping, it is just people falling OF
the water wagon.
Tumulty may have leaked, but
Lawson is stopping over and Gumshoe
Bill Stone is blowing up.
This is the time of the year when
newspaper editors write ringing ap
peals for a "buyless" Christmas
"Falls Off Wagon" Headline. No,
not New Years resolution, but a
genuine vain, and an automobile ran
over the poor fellow.
The Kaiser believes in the Divine
Right, and no confidence is violated
when we say that the Allies are do
ing their best to cannonize him.
Because woman is the weaker yes
sci, she has not been allowed to
vote; but what about the men who
sprung that leak in Washington?
Doubtless the reasons why more
married men stay away from home
so much is that they are trying to
dodge the collectors for their wives
bills.
Of course we will have little more
| fighting-but peace negotiations have
really begun. When a mans recov-
ering from a fearful jag, doesn't he
need hair of the dog that bit him?
The oldfashioned boy who lag
garded to school in the days of well
remembered ED, now skates there
with celerity that sends the ordi-
nary pedestrian to the shelter of the
telephone poles.
A. Needle is a New York tailor
who recently got married, sharp
though he is, and it looks as if his
mission in life is to do up his wife's
buttons, just like lot of other men,
who pressed suit for want of some
thing better to do.

Our shortages-high cost of ma

that it's automobiles.

Pensacola" he elaborated, "the street
railway business would be great

been improving. from year to year.
Nearly two million eight hundred
thousand people rode on our trolley
cars last year, but if so many people
didn't own autos we would have had a
million if not million and a hall
more passengers. Our trolley re-
ceipts last year were $139,557; the
year before that, $126,494; the year
before that, $131, 800. In 1910, how
ever, the banner year, they amount
ed to $171 ,939, but that was before
we had such fine streets and before
automobiles were sold~ like cans Of

The statement is of especial interest,
taken in connection with the butter trade,
in which three men determine the price
Of that commodity throughout the entire
United States.
So carefully hedged about by legal safe
guards that representatives of the depart
ment Of Justice are unable to find any direct
evidence OF a violation of the Sherman anti
trust law, three members of the Elgin
Board of Trade, which comprises mem
bership of 275 creamery men, agents, brok-
ers, and dealers, travel every Saturday
morning from Chicago to Elgin, distance
Of 80 miles, to establish the price. From
the illuminating article of S. S. Fontaine, in
The New York World, we clip the follow
ing description of their methods:

Sometimes as many as 25 tubs are sold,
of sixty pounds each-and so without any
appeal to the law of supply and demand,
and without ascertaining even if it grades
up to the value of the infinitesimal per-
centage certified to, the price of 60,0O0,0O0
pounds of butter is established!
Abuses that crept into the system finally
eliminated in the injunction of April %,
1914, against maintaining quotation
board to fix the price of butter; provision
that is gotten around by a volunteer com
mittee, which changes every week, and
other safeguards not pertinent to this dis
cussion. But the system still raises a very
grave question.
The only remedy that suggests itself is
some such measure as the bill proposed by
Representative Aswell of Louisiana, to re-
duce the ten-cent tax on oleomargarine to
one that is merely nominal Oleomar-
garine, Or butterine, as it is called, is pal
atable, nutritious and wholesome; that il
should be labeled, is meet and proper; but
there was never any excuse for the tax
which was imposed before the pure-food
agitation, for the especial behoof of the
butter trust. That the Aswel bill has beer
received sympathetically, is an encouraging
sign. The removal of the tax seems to af
ford the only relief possible against the
