INTRODUCE BILL,

London-A decimal coinage bill,
providing for a rearrangement of
the British money system on dec
imal basis, has been introduced in
the house of lords by Lord South
wark The bill is the result of con-
ferences between two great bus
mess organizations, the Institute
Bankers and the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce. Both organiza-
tiOns gave their support to the
scheme by a unanimous vote
The bill provides for the cOntin-
uance Of the sovereign and the
form, the latter being One-tenth of
the sovereign or pound. A new
coin, one-hundredth of a pound,
will make its appearance, being
practically equivalent TO the
American nickel. The new farthing
will be worth slightly less than the
present farthing, being exactly one
thousandth Of a pound Five farth-
ings will make up the new penny.

seven wonders of the State. Avon
| Park is in the heart of fine citrus
belt and has many attractions as a
resort and desirable place of resi-
dence. Lake Wales is also an inter-
esting resort with many modern fea-
lures. Sebring is counted one Of the
most attractive cities in Florida and
Moore Haven has grown from nothing
to over 1000 population in two years,
with every modern convenience pos
sessed by any city.
Now the completion of another
short branch from this branch to the
Caloosahatchee river is in anticipa-
ton, starting at Sebring and ending
at what will be known as Palmhurst,
which is being planned as the very
acme of beauty and attractiveness.
This new city will be the terminus
of the railroad, it will have water con-
rections both east and west across
the State, it will be located on the
cross State highway between Palm
Beach and Fort Myers and when the
railroad is completed in the next two
months the young city will be sup
piled with telegraph, telephone, cleo
trio lights and supply of ice. A
twelve-foot canal is being dug from
the river to the county road and along
this canal there will be a fifty-foot
paved boulevard. The hotel site IS
in beautiful palm hammock and it
will face an artificial lake 300x950
feet in dimensions around which will
be lovely park.
The news story from Fort Myers
tells of the plans for this ideal new
city and then tells the still further
surprising news that on the opposite
side of the canal another city is
planned by Cleveland capitalists. who
propose to expend half. million dol
lars as a starter in creating what will
be one of the very attractive towns
Of the State. On that side the canal
will be paralleled by an eighty-foot

With a sparse population in the State

POPULAR MOVIE STAR
WOULD MAKE A FLYING
LEAP TO MARS

If Mars were little bit nearer TO
the earth it is safe bet that Douglas
Fairbanks would make flying leap
to that planet and entertain the Mar
tians. For there is nothing this
whirlwind actor of dashing, dare
devil roles will not essay. In cam
erican Aristocracy" Douglas goes bug
hunting. A pretty girl steps out of
an automobile and kisses him-just
like that! From that moment the
tumultuous heart of the bugologist
knows no rest. Caterpillars and but
terflies lose their charms. The as
saulted Douglas goes on a rampage
in his endeavors to win terrifying
hydroplanes, leaping walls, climbing
up balustrades and falling single
handed on a desperate crew of cut.
Threats who are smuggling ammuni-
lions contrary to the government
decree. There is delightfully."- satir-
ical vein on snobbery running like a
thread of gold through the picture
to give it added value. OF all the
entertainers in the world of screen
dom Douglas Fairbanks is the most
pleasing, the most satisfying, the
most widely beloved. And this pic
ture will add much to his prestige in

CREATION OF NEW
CITIES In FLORIDA

Those who have been reading the
'Times-Union carefully during the past
year or two have had glimpses of the
|rather remarkable development tina,
|is going on all over the State, but the
few who have had the privilege of
touring the State in automobiles will
tell you that the people in general
have been little idea of the extent of
these developments.
A prominent Jacksonville banker
and developer recently made a motor
trip across the State, from Jackson
vile to Tampa, passing through half
a dozen counties and he says that if
the people of Jacksonville could see
tie Improvements that are being made
all through those sections they would
be surprised at the millions of dol
lars that are being expended in gen.
eral farm and city development. He
says it is wonderful education to
make these trips and urges the bust
ness and professional men to take
their cars and see the State, rather
than 60 away to some other State for
a trip.
The springing up of new cities in
localities which have resounded only
with the cries of the wilderness I'M
til recently, has been one Of the re-
markable developments Of the State
in recent years The construction of
one branch of a railroad into the
heart of the vast prairies and rich
muck lands of Polk and DeSoto coun-
ties has resulted in the quick build
ing of half dozen of the most mod
ern and attractive little cities in three
