GARDEN WORK IN MIDSUMMER
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Celery plants may he set out early In

climates planting is carried on up To

although the crop requires more utten-
tion than the average garden plants.
Celery plants can be bought, hut one

planting of the seed should he done

TOURIST REGISTRY
IS BEING PLANNED

Plans for conducting tourist reg

training at the army and navy camps
here, so that visitors may become ac-
quainted with the young men from
their home states, were completed
yesterday by the Chamber of Com-

The Chamber of Commerce will
conduct the register in Pensacola or
the tourists, and placards will be
printed to be posted in the station,
informing them where they may
register, and obtain information con-
corning quarters. A similar regis
ter will be prepared at the Aero
nautic Station and at the army posts,
and it is expected that it will work
for the mutual benefit Of the men
and the winter visitors.

PLAN FOR CHRISTMAS
ENTERTAINMENT OF MEN

At the regular meeting of the
Army and Navy Life Activities Com
n1ittee yesterday afternoon, plans for
the Christmas entertainment of the
men of the service were discussed
and many of the details were COM
pleted.
1t was decided to place tables
alog both sides of the lower corridor
of the Ar1nory Hall, where cakes,
pies and candy will be served to the
men as they arrive. Coffee urns will
doubtless be arranged also. Upstairs
the main entertainment will be held.
A large Christmas tree will be
placed in the balcony at the east end
of the building, and platform in the
center of the hall, where the music
and dramatic program will be car
ried out. This stand will later be oc-
cupied by the band for the dance.
All members of the various commit
tees of the Army and Navy Life Ac-
tivities Committee will act as a re-
ception committee for the entertain
ment While it is intended primarily
for the men of the service all civil
ians are invited to attend the enter
tainment.

ARGUMENTS ARE
HEARD IN The
MOSELY CASE
MOVEMENT TO KNOCK OUT"
TAX COMMISSION REACHES
THE SUPREME COURT, ABLE
COUNSEL ARGUING.
Tallahassee Bureau
Pensacola Journal.

Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 4.-From
ten o'clock this morning, till 6 this
evening, with but an hour for din
ner, the Supreme Court heard an
executive oral argument on the case
of W. Henry Mosely, Of Gadsden
County, VS.. the state comptroller. in
differently called the tax commission
case.
On September 26 last, Mosely Sc
cured in the Circuit Court tempor-
ary interlocutory injunction to re-
strain Comptroller Ernest Amos
from paying the salaries and ex-
penses of the three state tax com-
|n1fssioners, and the attorney general,
representing the comptroller, and de-
Tending the validity, Of the statute
creating the commission, appealed
the case to the Supreme Court. Since
that time the tax commissioners
have drawn no pay. At the end of
court took the case under advise
ment.
Judge ]. T. Willis, of Gainesville,
sat on this case in place of Justice
West, who is disqualified by reason
of the fact that he gave an opin-
ion when he was attorney general as
to the validity of the statute Great
ing the tax commission. The statute
creating the tax commission was de-
Tended today by Attorney General
Van C. Swearingen, Assistant At
torney General Chas. d. Andrews,
and Hon. Stafford Caldwell, of Jas
per, while Mosely, who seeks to
ssknock out" the commission, was
represented by Former Senator Y. L..
Watson, of Quincy, and Judge w. J..
Oven, of Tallahassee.
Andrews opened and closed the ar
gument. Caldwell and Oven delivered
brilliant argument, and that their
strong addresses impressed the JUS
tices, was evident in the interest
shown by their questioning. These
are the same counsel who appeared
before Judge Love, of this circuit
when the temporary restraining or
der was granted and their argument
today was along the same lines as
then.
The discussion, though purely
technical, was intensely interesting
throughout. There are two questions
involved: First-whether or not. the
bill creating the commission, was
properly passed by the legislature of
1913; and second-Whether or not
it is in accord with the constitution.
Even if it was legally enacted. The
various points brought out in the ar
gument of those two questions. were
the same today as at the circuit
court hearing, when they were pre-
sented in full in this correspondence
by the writer.
Because of the public interest in
this case. it is expected that the
court will render an early decision,

to help win the war.
In construction the bullaA resembles

In the gun the arms lying in the

the projectile leaves the mouth OF the
gun, however. the arms fall back on
the base, at right angles to the sides

larger destructive surface than the
simple projectiie.
TO allow for the spinning OF the

curved to minimize wind resistance
and prevent interference with aim.

planes. Repeated instances in the war
have revealed the fact that an air
plane may be rfddled with bullets, but
that unless the motor propeller or con-
trolls are hit directly there is little
damage. and even though forced to
descend the crippled machine can
usually regain its own lines.
With the invention of Mr.. Schur-
man a three-inch shell, which might
otherwise simply puncture wing sur
face, would rip the entire plane eff.
completely wrecking the afrpIane.
Mr.. Schurman, while mainly inter
ested In the bullet, has prepared plans
for a new type airplane, which he
will doubtless submit for consideration
as soon as they are finished. Being
interested in airplanes and desirous of
spending the winter In Florida, he
very naturally selected Pensacola, and
expressed himself as delighted with
the climate here.
