FOR OUR OWN.

The wonderful response which has been
made to the appeal for the Pearl Eagan
Home must be gratifying to every Pensa-
colian, for no philanthropy in which this
section is interested is quite SO close to the
hearts of the people, as is this, where so
many little ones find home under loving
care and in surroundings that make for
future good citizenship.
The committee published its first appeal
for one thousand dollars, to be subscribed
by one hundred persons at ten dollars each,
only a few days ago, but already three
fourths of the amount has been subscribed,
and it is confidently believed that the full
amount will be pledged before tomorrow
night.
At this time when the cruel heel of war
is rendering SO many children homeless,
when we are sending our sons, still children
to the mothers who bore them, over the
seas to fight for freedom it is an easy thing
to forget the duties that lie near at horne,
because there are so many insistent voices
that call to us from across the water for re-
lief and succor.
But Pensacola never forgets its own. 1t
is not that we forget the needs OF the little
Belgians, or that we shut our ears TO the
cries from the orphans of Armenia a:,i
Serbia, Pensacola has given freely d,trin:
these troublous times, and never has she
given more generously or more speedily
than in this hour, when her o,sn children
have needed her and she has held out her
capable hands for their relief.

THE FRONT YARD.

Florida is the front yard of the United
States. 1t has the longest salt water coass
of any of the states. It is the nearest the
West Indies, South America and through
the Panama Canal it has the closest nc. ess
to the Pacific ocean. Ships can sail from
Florida ports to all continents and islands
of the earth. 1t is the best favored Of any
state in the Union IN this respect.
It is possible to take a ship at Jackson
vile and sail from :he mouth OF he St.
Johns river straight across the Atlantic
to Gibraltar and through the Mediter-an-
can to the Suez canal, with Jerusalem and

DO YOUR BIT

When John H. Green former president
of the National Grocers' Association, al
dressed the grocers and consumers on
Wednesday evening at the city hall, he
drove home a number of important truths,
none of which was of greater moment than
the warning he gave in regard to the d.
livery system and the evils that foil wv IFS
abuse
1t IS fact, and one which should cause
each one of us to realize an individual iii
cation, that the best results outlined by the
food commission cannot be cbta;ned, ul1-
less there is some wisely cot:certed effort
all over the country to eliminate, in 50 far
as is possible, the heavy burden of the de-
livery system, the losses from which are
not only eating into the profits of the re-
taller of groceries, but are sapprg much

THE SPECTATOR
Mono-Rails.

Mono Rails.
An interesting, if impossible. scfu-
tion of railway congestion Is sug
gested by the London Chronicie'
which advocates the use OF the mono
rail system. This method OF trans
portation has occupied scientists !or
number of years, and was Delng
successfully demonstrated just DeIore
the outbreak Of the war
As in many other fields OF en-
deavor, progress in science was I'M
peded by the war, only to be FOUND
later. as war essential. There IS no
intention of scrapping the present
equipment in the installation OF the
new system, which leaves q grave
doubt as to its possible efficiency
The mono-rail cars could not operate
on the double track, and conversely,
therefore the mixed equipment would
lack the switching and transfer Ia
cilities so necessary in modern trans
portation.
There is no doubt that the use OF
the mono rail would permit the con-
struction of exactly twice the pres
emit amount of mileage, from the
same length of track now IN use,
but the loss of equipment would
probably not offset the gain.
Lightless-
Lightless hights are not new in
Pensacola. for the moonlight sched-
ule" is comparatively recent history.
When the city began to emerge from
the marshes along the waterfront,
and to spread to the heights to the
North, civic pride demanded streets,
walks, and lights.
Either side of the narrow streets
was bordered by board walks, loose
planks in which made the footsten
of solitary pedestrian sound like
the approach of an infantry COM
pany. These have passed with the
old lamp posts. standing sentry at
every corner, shedding small circls
of yellow light into the black shad-
ows, and acting as beacons to the
beacons to the late stroller.

was then that Pensacola breathed its
tropical charm, it's elusive PERSONAL
ity, peopled again with it's romantic
Spanish Conquistadors, smiling be-
hind the fan of night. This charm
is not yet dispelled by the march of
progress, but can be felt despite a
