LIGHTS MAY GO AT CENTRAL PARK
Public Works Board Is to Con-
 slider New System

Another step toward increasing the efficiency of the lighting system on Main street was taken by the board , of public works at the meeting last evening, when a vote was passed to ! have the chairman and city engineer confer with the lighting company of ticials relative to changing the present system at Central Park and the in- stallation of the new Loomis arc , lamp. The success or failure of the new system has been a matter of con- lecture to many persons, but it has ; been the unanimous opinion that the , lights about the Green at present are a distinct failure. The board repre- sentatives will also discuss the mat :. ter of a permanent light on the statue adOrninc the soldiers monument a communication having been received iron, the Christmas tree committee of , the Chamber Of Commerce ;ls<ing that the matter be given consideration.

PATRIOTISM TWO
VISITORS STIRRED

An airplane bombardment of Pen
sacola such as that staged through
the courtesy of navy officials on last
Wednesday resulted in the sale of
several bonds to two prominent New
Workers who were stopping in PEN
sacola for a few days and witnessed
the raid on the city.
The two gentlemen were taken to
vantage point when the seven planes
appeared out of the west, and saw
them as they circled to the north,
releasing the thousands of circulars
which fluttered to the ground, bear
ing a message of patriotism to the
crowds in the streets.
So impressed were they by the un-
usual sight that both bought more
bonds, despite the fact that they had
purchased heavily in New York be-
fore coming south.

CHANGE IN HOUR
FOR CITY COURT

In order to make it convenient for
the two police watches, it has been
agreed to hold the daily sessions Of
the recorders court at 11:30 o'clock
in the forenoon instead of a. M,
as formerly, and the first session
was held yesterday. Quite docket
was disposed Of, but there were no
serious cases. One negro, who had
been charged with stealing a bicycle,
was bound over to the county authori-
ties and is charged with larceny.
The twelve-hour watch now changes
at IL o'clock noon, and of course at
the same hour at night. By holding
court at the hour lately decided on,
it gives the officers about to go on
duty an opportunity of attending
without depriving themselves of sleep
and also affords those about to go
off watch an opportunity of going
home, and remaining if they SO elect,
without having to return as under the
former arrangement when they found
it necessary to prosecute cases which
they had made.

Considerable progress was made in
the repair of the bridge, which will
be reopened to travel at the earliest
possible moment.
During the hours when the bridge
was closed numbers of motorists used
the road out Jackson street, over the
Jackson bridge, and connected with
the main Bayshore road just below
the Country Club. This road is in
excellent condition, save for a short
strip near the first bridge, where
it is necessary to ford a shallow

COL0RED LEADER
DOING GOOD WORK

The great progress made by the
negros Of Marion county in the move
ment to establish higher standards
of usefulness for members of that
race has been emphasized by Geo.
H. Mays, Jr., a leader in the work
who is conducting a seriess of meet
ings in this city.
The negroes of Marion county
conduct a national bank and other
commercial enterprises, in addition to
a large knitting mill at Ocala, oper-
ated exclusively by members of their
race, and have been highly success
full in their undertaking.
Their work has been favorably
commented upon by the press Of the
state, the Tampa Tribune having the
following to say of Mays:
He is an example Of what hard
working, intelligent and respectable
negro can do with his opportunities.
He is a graduate of Tuskegee, taught
in schools ins the North and is now
the head of a banking and invest
ment institution at Ocala, organized
and managed by negroes. He believes
that the South is the best place for
the negro and that his future lies in
this section of the country. He is
always urging tHe HesIocS 10 sCIise
for industrial independence and it is
due to him that the negroes of Marion
county have taken account of their
opportunities and have begun to
work for better ends
Mays is strong supporter of the
food conservation program and has
urged the colored people of Pensaco-
la to sign the pledge cards and follow
the suggestions of the food admins

THIRD FIREMAN At
CITY WATER PLANT

Due to the long hours and the ex-
ira work entailed, the superintendent
of the water plant asked the commits
TONERS to allow him a third fireman.
and the request was granted. The
third man has been placed on the
job.
One complete shift was let out of
the department when the commission
ers recently made up their budget
for the year when the retrenchment
was started. 1t was found, however,
that the work was too heavy for two
men in the firerooms, hence the al
lowance of the third one. The other
former employees, however, remain off
the payroll.

1 hope that every banker will take an
active interest in helping to do so.
Hon. John C. Luning, State Tress-
urer will deliver an address to the
bankers, and State Comptroller
Ernest Amos and probably others
will also give valuable advice to the
financiers that will gather here at
that time. At the organization of

RED CROSS CHIEFS
TOUR THE SOUTH

To render a complete and personal
report to the people of the Southern
and New England states of the man.
ner in which the Red Cross war fund
is being expended, and to give a de-
tailed account of the activities of the
Red Cross during the past six months,
Henry P. Dawson, chairman of the
Red Cross War Council, and Harvey
D. Gibson, general manager of the
American Red Cross, are planning to
visit the Red Cross Division head
quarters at Atlanta, New Orleans,
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and
Baltimore, following their speaking
tour through the west, which COM
mences this Saturday. A few other
cities of the Southern and New Eng
land states will probably be included
in the itinerary. In the western trip
the Red Cross officials will speak at
St Louis, San Francisco, Minneapo-
lis, Chicago, Cleveland and several
other important Red Cross centers.
Following their return to Washing
ton next month, plans will be an
nounced for conferences between Mr..
Dawson and Mr.. Gibson, and Red
Cross officials and chapter workers
at the headquarters at the headouar-
tiers of the Southern, Gulf, Pennsyl-
vania, Atlantic and New England
Divisions.
In the past six months the Red
Cross membership has been increased
to more than four million members,
scattered among $500 chapters. The
reorganization of the American Red
Cross necessitated by this rapid
growth and added war activities re-
suited in the decentralization of au-
thority from national headquarters to
the managers of the thirteen divisions,
and makes necessary the closest pos
sible cooperation between national
and divisional headquarters.
