HAS NO BOYS, so GIVES
HIS GIRL TO THE ARMY

II have no sons to give to Uncle
SAM" said Judge w. L. Pierce, as he
sat in his Office in the Willson-Chase
building yesterday AFTERNOON, "but I
have just written my approval of the
Of my daughter, Mrs. Pierce
Reynolds, of San Francisco, to enter
the service of the nation"
1t was then explained that Mrs
Reynolds had volunteered her services
for duty in France as an official tele-
phone interpreter. Because of the
fact that there is much telephonirg to
be done in France between the Ameri-
can and French forces, the good Of
both demands that many comp a6ent
interpreters be employed in TRANSMIT
ting messages from one to the other.
The governments of both France and
America are seeking persons fer these
positions.--St. Petersburg Tines.

The Partridge and the Pelew, to-

Sir Eric, composed the anti-submarine

convoy. A court of inquiry has been
appointed to investigate the circum-
stances, he announced. A second con-

RED CROSS PROCLAMA.
TON TO PEOPLE OF rs.
BY MAYOR A. c. BROOKS

The American Red Cross is destined
to be one of the greatest agencies of
mercy and help in the history of the
world. The officers have planned to
add 10000, 900 new members to its en-
rollment by Christmas day. This is
q big work and it is the duty of every
real American to help in the cause by
becoming a member and influencing
others to do so.
Of course, I am personally interest
ed in getting the desired members,
but in addition, wish, as the mayo.
of the city of Tarpon Springs, to in.
vite and urge all our people to join the
Tarpon Springs chapter A. R. C. at

sible way. 1t is our privilege to be
members of this organization; it is
our duty to do so.

know there are great many Tarpon
Springs people who buy out of town
every day, goods of wide variety
and range, which are kept by our own
stores, and just as good, just as up-to-
date and just as cheap, if we will take
the trouble to look.
When over to Tampa with our auto
car or otherwise, we see or think OF
many things we want and while IN
Tampa buy, or go purposely to trade
there. / know Of merchants here, who
themselves, when in Tampa for some
thing in their business line, stock up
with goods of personal wants in other
merchants lines with the idea that
they are saving something; but when
this is done generally, what is the re-
suit? It is narrow and selfish. The
interest is exactly the same to every
property owner. Suppose it is true
that little may be saved occasional
", is it worth while? When we add
the general effect, it certainly is not
worth it. Tarpon Springs has now
the finest, most up-to-date meat mar
ket south of jacksonville, with an in
dividual refrigerating plant and two
rows of latest and best cold storage
counters and a large cold storage
room. This would not have been pos
sible if the market business had not
proved to warrant it. Why not trade
at home in the nonperishable goods
that we do not require at once? This
new market shows the business thai

find a city of 5000 population that
has q better class of drug stores, q
hardware stores, or of dry-goods

JULY 4 FIRE LOSS
 HERE IS NOTHING
Not An Alarm, Bell, Still or False, to
 Break MOnotony For Bremen.

Yesterday sets a new standard for ords of the local fire department, be- lieved to be record since the days of Colonial period. From early the night of July 8, when there was still alarm nected with the observance of Inde- pendence Day, there was not an alarm of any type, bell, still or false to call for the response of apparatus. It is believed such 8 condition has not characterized the Fourth locally dur ing the existence of the community as city or town. Chief Robert M. Dame had taken extra precautions for hand ling any situations arising from a celebratios of the occasion, especially because of being coupled with the ex- citement of war and suspected ven geance planned by those of foreign birth. In the past, Young America has been responsible for certain number of false alarms.
 Similar conditions existed in the jurisdiction of the police department. the augmented force directed person. ally by Chief William J. Rawlings finding little more than normal condi- tions existing. There were only eight cases before the police court yesterday morning, none connected in any war with the Fourth or differing from those coming up for trial any morn ing throughout the year.
 Chiefs Dame and Rawlings consid- CT the conditions to be a true echo of the times and the spirit to be found among the people of America, feel ing bent towards the giving of aid rather than intolerance to the authori- ties, in meeting abnormal conditions caused by the war.

FACING DEPORTATION.
Immigration Officials at Boston Con-
 sidering MalikOwsi's Case.

Facing deportation on the ground that he and his family are likely to become public charges through his conduct and alleged neglect, Peter Malikowski of 78 Beaver street IS being held by the federal imm1gra- ton authorities at Boston pending the handing down of a decision by of- ficials in charge of contested cases.
 Malikowski, who has been in this country about four years with wife and five children looking to him for support, was taken into custody last week by federal agents and taken to Boston for hearing. The hearing was given Tuesday, Among those attending to act as official interpreter and furnish information possessed by him as to details of the case was City and Police Court Interpreter M R. Malinowsky. It was testified the accused had been previously ar raigned in the local tribunal on nor- support charges, this arraignment coming to the attention of the gov ernment authorities and leading tc the fear there would be future sup port expense.
