Failure of the OIL supply also Sc

this bearing is often over half a ton.
and In some cases may rise to Il ton or
more. Limitations OF space and weight
prevent the making OF a very large
bearing surface to withstand the

this bearing running at thousands OF
revolutions per minute day in and day

THE PARADE.

One of the finest parades ever held
in Tarpon Springs started off this at
ternoon soon after the Governors
luncheon. In the line of march were
representatives of many of the sur
rounding stations while the palm for
the best showing went to the Oldsmar
community which had nearly twenty
automobiles in the line, many of them
decorated in splendid fashion.
The line was led by the Tarpon
Springs Citizens band, followed by
the boy scouts, carrying the huge Am
erican flag which was raised on the
new pole at the courthouse this after
noon. The home guards were next In
line, armed and putting up a fine ap-
pearance, and forming an escort for
the car in which Governor and Mrs.
Cats were riding. The governors
car was driven by ex-Congressman
Steven B. Ayres of New York, and be-
side him was Mayor A. c. Brooks.
The auto of Alexander Linn, general
chairman of today's committee, fol-
lowed and next in line were the Camp
Fire girls and a long line of children
from the American and Greek schools
of Tarpon Springs. Most of the young
sters carried flags and put up splen-
did showing. The fire department and
the Tarpon Springs chapter of the
American Red Cross were represent
! ed, as were also the Order of the East
ern Star and the Woodmen of the
World. Next in line were a number
of local autos and then machine car
rying Miss Azelle Booth of Safety
Harbor, dressed as the goddess Of lib
erty. Elfers was also represented.
Next was the Civic club of New Port
Richey and several cars from that
city, and then the Oldsmar delegation
with car for each of the many indus
tries of Florida's youngest town. In
hand wagon one man was pushing
another dressed as farmer, and the
sign showing 0ldsmar just a year
old. A delegation of young women
of the Oldsmar chapter of the Red
Cross was one of the prettiest sights
of the afternoon.
The parade after going up Tarpon
avenue, marched past the Inn and
around to the city hall, where the gov
ernor was scheduled to make his adj
dress of the afternoon. y.

Mrs. Cats in few brief words ex-
pressed her appreciation of the hos
pitality which Pinellas county and
Tarpon Springs were extending to her
and said she was having one of the
most pleasant times of her life. She
said most of the years of her life had
been spent in housekeeping and she
hadn't had time to learn to make
speeches. She was warmly applauded
when she resumed her seat. Mrs.

governor a warm welcome to the pa
geant which is being held here today.
Judge Brandon said he could not I'M
derstand why the governor had settled
in the northern part of the state when
he came to Florida, but this was ex-
planned in the talk of Mr. Amos, who
said he had come in over the northern
boundary line and had settled in the
north. If he had come in by water
from the south, he explained, he would
probably have chosen Tarpon Springs.
Mr.. Amos was introduced by the
POSTMASTER with the remark that he
didn't care what the people did to him
after the way he was treating the Wis
itors from the North who came here
with automobiles. They used to enjoy
sort of freedom from taxation, Mr..
Amos said, ''but now it costs twelve
dollars the first crack out of the box.
Somebody "Wished Something on
Amos.
"The man who wished this auto job
on me-" said Mr.. Amos, "handed me
something. We have collected so far
nearly $285,OO0, and 100000 of this
has been paid into the state treasury;
$187,000 of that money will be ex-
pended on roads. Last year we col
lected only $144,209; so you see many
got by last year; where we get thirty
dollars for chauffeurs' licenses we
got $4,000 this year."
Senator Carlton in his brief talk
paid a fine tribute to womanhood and
to the mothers of the nation and asked
why he was called upon to speak for
those who were so we'll able to speak
for themselves. The women now, he
said, were setting a real standard of
patriotism for the men.
The POSTMASTER explained that
many of the speakers of the evening
had asked to be excused because Of
the work ahead of them tomorrow and
others had been excused because the
talks were limited to brevity.
| Among the latter he mentioned Col.
Stovall, of the Tampa Tribune, "who,
if he spoke, would have to say a word
for each of his $4,000 subscribers, and
that would take too long,"
DR.. R. H. Alderman, president of the
Methodist college at Sutherland, gave
a brief address on education in the
state and implored the people not to
neglect the building up of civilization
during the war. He told them they
must be ready to solve the greatest
problems after the conflict, when it
would be necessary to reorganize the
whole religious, political, civic and
economic structure of the nation. The
greatest capitalization of the nation,
he told his listeners, is education.
