THE BICYCLE AS
A WAR ESSENTIAL
BY T. T. Wentworth, Jr. i.

In these strenuous war times, with
the curtailment of all non essentials.
1t may be an interesting bit of news
TO you that the bicycle has been de-
clared an essential by the war in
dustries board, and that. subject to
certain simplification of models and
elimination of fancy non essential
equipment, viii be entitled TO reason
able requirements of material.
Many people are inclined to think
of the bicycle as a relic Of the golden
days of the nineties when everybody
rode a bicycle. To them it is Row
little more than a, pIaything used by
boys of the early teens. This is prob
ably because it is no longer the
speed king" of the highway nor the
pleasure conveyance for holidays. But
in fact, the bicycle does fill very
important part in the transportation
system Of the country.
Hundreds of thousands OF bicycles
are in use by the armies on the fight
ing fronts in Europe and the United
States is buying them by the thou
sands for use in army and navy
camps and in France.
There are now four million bicycle
riders in the United States and more
are working in the great manufacture
ing institutions of the country, and
who depend upon it as their convey

ance to and from work. In fact, re-
liable census shows that only IA per
cent of the bicycles are used strictly
for pleasure.
The need for economy of gasoline
as emphasized by the "gassless Sun
days" and the increasing street car
fares in the cities have already given
impetus TO bicycle buying.
The curta ilment or luxuries and
the necessity for habits of thrift after
the war will undoubtedly cause the
general standard of living to be
simpler than during the past few
years. Thousands of people who in
former days would have thought of
nothing less than a four-cylinder con-
veyance will have to lower their am
billions, yet they must have some
means of getting from their homes to
their places of work. To these people
the bicycle will be the solution of the
pro blem.
While the bicycle will not come
back as a national pleasure vehicle. it
is now and will be used extensively
for the same purpose of getting some
where in a way faster and easier than
walking and at practically no cost.

TOO MUCH NOISE

Much criticism was heard yesterday afternoon
in regard to the lack of traffic policemen to pre-
vent the noise of automobiles on Garden street
during the community sing.
1t was~said that at times the noise was deafen-
ing, and greatly interfered with the enjoyment
of the music.
1t would seem simple matter to have police
men stationed on either side to prevent the con-
tinuous passage of the automobiles and the in
cessant sounding of the horns for no apparent
purpose except to make a noise.
Such things managed in other cities and
could be satisfactorily adjusted here with the CO.
operation of officials.

FOR BETTER COUNTY

Tomorrow the voters of the county will cast
their votes for against the ten mill amend
ment to the state constitution. There has been
much said in the press and in public addresses IN
favor of the passage of the amendment and lit
tie against it.
The greater danger, lies, perhaps, in a too great
sense of security. Many men who believe in the
ten mill tax will not go to the polls to VOTE Sc
cure in the belief that the measure will carry
without their support.
This sense of security has been known to de-
feat other measures and it can defeat this.
There can be no question as to the advisability
of this measure to anyone who has a sense OF
pride in his state, who believes in fair play, who
considers that the children of this state have
equal rights with children of other states.
But the question reduces itself to something
besides one of sentiment, of pride, of even of
right and justice.
Just as long as Escamba county fails to give
the children the educational facilities that chill
dren in other states enjoy, just so long will the
development of this section be retarded
Among the first questions asked by intelligent
Investors in any community, whether intending
TO locate in that community not, is in refer
ance to the education.
One of the things that have built up California
and Colorado are the splendid schools.
If this county is to rank with other progressive
sections of the country, it's schools must be i'm
proved.
Any real estate will tell you that good
schools are community asset Let every man
cast his vote for better schools and better
county.
The district chairmen for the ten mill tax
amendment campaign, would do we'll to make an
effort to see that every possible vote in this
county is secured.
There are number of men employed near
Pensacola, who, if dependent upon the usual
of transportation, will hardly be able to
reach the city in time to cast their vote unless
some special arrangement is made to that end.
1t has been suggested that the chairmen take
up this matter with the management of the Pen
sacoa Ship Building Plant and other industries,
the Commandant at the naval air station and the
commanding officer at the post and ask that the
men who desire to vote from service on Tuesday
at $3.50 o'clock, in order that they may reach the
city in time cast their vote in the general cleo
ton.

That lists of marriage licenses and

for to receive clothing, shoes, ETC.,
even though worn (yet often in good
condition) or shop worn goods, to
help provide against this cold winter.
No matter how few, they would help
relieve the situation, and would be a
blessing to the poor.
