RUSSIAN COOPERATIVE
MOVEMENT IS rPT

There is economic strength in the
Russian cooperative movement. The
growth Of the cooperative societies
since the beginning of the war has
established them as probably the
most stable factor in Russia.
In addition to their activities in
commodity buying and selling, thew
nave built up a solid financial struc-
ture. The Moscow Narodny Bank,
founded by them in 1912, has been
the only bank off which the bolshe.

protested that it was a bank of the
people and conducted in their inter.

them. AS result, the Moscow Ma.
rodny Bank has not since been in.
terfered with Its turnover for the
year 1917 was more than 5000 900, 900
rubles.
The consumers societies, which
were among the earliest of the COOP
eratives, date back to 1866. But
they did not begin to be widespread
until 1900. Since the start of the
war in 1914, they have more than
doubled in number Tho first con.
sumer's society to be organized
among industrial workers was found

up in the Ural Mountains. The ex.
pertinent has since been successfully
'epeated in many factory centers.

A district meeting of hotel and res

upon by State Hotel Representative
Harry l.. Beeman, to take place In
Tampa, on Wednesday, Sept. 25th, a;

meeting being left in the hands OF
Hafford Jones, County Food Admins
traitor for Hillsboro county.
AT this meeting 1t is hoped to place
in preparation tentative program to
be followed at the State meeting to
be held in Jacksonville on November
18th. ]. Walker Pope, Food Admins
traitor for Polk county, had already
called a meeting Of his hotel and res
taurant proprietors, but upon hear
ing that the meeting was to be held
in Tampa, at once announced that he
would postpone the Barlow session
and invite all Polk county proprietors
TO attend the Tampa conference.
Mr.. Beeman has since decided to
extend the meeting by asking all ho-
tel, restaurant and public eating
proprietors of Pasco, fernando, Cit
rus, Pinellas, Lee, DeSoto, Osceole,
and Orange counties to be in attend
ance, as we'll as those from other
counties of the southern part Of Flor
ida. It is Mr.. Beeman's intention
to make this meeting an opening for
suggestions and ideas of practical
merit, to be followed during the ap-
winter season, and with a
free and unbridled discussion he
hopes to be able to arrive at a def !
mite conclusion as to what the no.
tells can and will do to assist the
Food Administration in the future.
The meeting in Tampa is expected
TO have a fine attendance, as the bust
ness session will be held during the
hours of the afternoon, allowing Wis
tors to return home in the evening

USE MOVIES TO TEST EYES
II Pictures That Are Properly Focused
Hurt, It Is Always Well to
Consult an Ocullst.

You can use the movies to test your
eyes. If your optical organs are cor
rect and normal you can go to the
shadow theaters as much as you want
without fear of harming the delicate
mechanism of your eyes.
But If you see well-operated pic
lures where the focusing is properly
done, and find that your eyes hurt
hunt an oculist; don't blame the
movies, says DR.. c. A. Balm, writing
on the annals of ophthalmology.
There Is no surer way to inform
yourself Of optical defects. The nor
NAL eye accommodates itself readily
to the fitting films Of high grade,
while the subnormal eye makes its
complaint very apparent after steady
focusing upon pictures.
"Persons with no defect of sight
mechanism should be able to enjoy at
the very least four sttings of from
one and one-half to two hours dura-
tion each per week without discom-
fort" says Doctor Balm. mo perma-
nent harm has come or can come to
eyes from well-focused motion pic
tures."

Mexicans as Travellers.

The Mexicans Of the poorer classes
are great travellers. In American
states, like New Mexico and Arizona
they are to be found in the day coaches
in numbers out of all proportion to
their part Of total population, and they
are similarly inclined to railway jour-
neys in their own land. They are a
restless people with little thought for
the morrow, writes a correspondent,
and when they get little money
through some stroke Of fortune, they
are as likely to spend 1t on railway
fares to some neighboring city as any
thing else. A Mexican family boards
the train with its belongings tied up In
varicolored bundles. The old days of
overland travel, not so very far away,
still show their influence in the way
the bundles are tied and roped, with
bitches fit for the pack saddle. Food
Is always carried along, and the cars
are soon full of the odor Of 1t, mingled
with cigarette smoke. There Is not
much talk; the lower class Mexican
has too much Indian blood in his veins
to be loquacious. Men, women and
children sit in stolid silence, except
for an occasional outburst of shrill
scolding descending on the head of
some child, or a bit Of violent bargain
Ing with a vender of sticky sweets at
a way station.

Barrier to Sight Of Stars.

A theory gaining scientific accept
ance Is that In the void of interstellar
space there is a substance which wells
from our view the stars beyond GER
tain limit of distance. Consisting pre-
sumably Of microscopic and widely
scattered particles, 1t nevertheless
makes barrier to vision when dis
tances are sufficiently great.
In other words, If we were far
enough away from the sun there would
be enough of these particles between
ourselves and that luminary to render
1t invisible to us.
DR.. G. G. Abbott Of the Smithsonian
institution, said that the estimated
density of this "substance" Is one tril-
lfonth Of that of the air we breathe.
Pretty thin, one might say. And yet
q sphere Tin space) whose radius was
the distance from the earth to the star
nearest to our solar system would con-
tain quantity Of the substances equal
to 1000 times the mass Of the sun

Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties Of sO-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less flattened and lack the
Jet black luster and perfect shape of
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from PIN,
ma shell, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls Of a
golden luster are secured from small
avicula that has beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
lie usually less than six centimeters in
diameter, and have never seen a pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than a No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

When an American is told that any
thing is impossible his impulse Is to
try to do 1t without delay. For this
reason no one will be astOnishpd,
though everyone will be Interested, in
the story of member of the Ameri-
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine ta-
ken away from him temporarily be-
cause he had used it in looping the
loop--a dangerous evolution, on ac-
count of its peril forbidden to be at
tempted In this machine. While. swell
up in the blue" the aviator had start
ed to perform the feat and made five
graceful loops in descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his reprimand by asking, "Why did
you do it?" and the aviator replied, "a
Frenchman told me it could not be
DONE" 1t was not unnatural that this
explanation made favorable impress
sion on the officer. and that he related
1t with admiration In proof of the fine
spirit of the fellows the United St"tes
is sending across the Atlantic to hold
up Uncle Sans end Of the world war.

Possible to Be Too Abrupt.

1t is said that w. 8. Gilbert, the
English dramatist, when he called on
his friends, always made quick exit.
His alert temperament was evidently
opposed to dawdliug. He knew how
tedious lingering farewells could be.
Now and then one meets some one
of his kind, alert, definite, considerate
of others and of himself as well.
But, of course, in this regard 1t Is
possible to overdo. There are those
who leave so quickly that they create
a sense of abruptness and possibly OF
concern as we'll. Their departure may
be followed by such remarks as "Why
did he leave in that way2' or "Could
she have been hurt about anythingT.

BORN OF DESIRE FOR SPEED
From Earliest Ages Man Has Sought
Methods Of Transportation Other
Than His Feet.

Doubtless the first form of construc-
tive transportation was by the boat in
the form of float and our earliest and
simplest conception Is man astride
log, propelling 1t by hand and foot.
The idea of propulsion stimulated to
activity the inventive genius Of mans
mind, and we find him developing varl-
GUS modes Of land conveyances. The
camel was drafted into service with
the elephant, the horse and other ami
mails. Then came the sledge, the first
of natures own construction, simply
forked tree limb.
This gradually developed into a more
perfect mode of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs, and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
of wheel was the simple roller made
from tree trunk, afterward differen-
tiated into pair Of fixed wheels by
trimming down the middle portion Of
the cylinder In such manner as to
leave the center of the trunk as
IOtutiuS uAlc,
The next step was the substitution
Of two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to rotating axle; fiat, round
cylinders Of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later considerable ad-
vancement was marked by the substi-
tuition of the fixed axle on which the
cylinders rotated.
The cart wheel similar to that which
may today be seen in the remote dis.
tricts of Mexico, is doubtless the next
noteworthy advance, and from these
primitive steps we find Aristotle and
other Greek philosophers interesting
themselves in these important advance
ments and earnestly agitating the
minds Of the mechanics of that period,
in the effort to stimulate even greater
improvements.

Phil SnOdgraSS, q former resident, is
visiting Phoenix and refreshing the
memories of the few old-tiners who

Bicknell remembered it very well.

In connection with experiments In

food, the United States bureau Of fish
cries has made several determinations
of the water, nitrogen ash and fat, and
ascertained the time Of artificial diges-

per cent water. OF the solids, about
per cent is fat, 71s per cent ash and
81 per cent protein. The last figure is
exceptionally high. Squid meat d.

SENATOR SMITH WITH
TIT! OBSTRUCTIONISTS

Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has
aligned himself squarely with the OBJ
structionistS. In the senate judiciary
commtte he joined with Senator
Reed, Of Missouri, who has been one of
the most pronounced anti-administra-
ton men on the foor-nOt excepting
La Toilette, Vardaman or HaTdwick-
in opposing the Overman bill, which is
known to be ore of Mr.. Wilson's most
cherished measures. 1t does not add
any more power or authority to the
executive, but it does permit him to
coordinate the various war working
branches to more simple and eXpedi-
tious handling of the same. Perhaps
no measure evolved in this congress is
of more importance i'll the systematic
conduct of the war than this bill. It
has been threshed out in the commtte
room; it's rough edges have been
smoothed off and it came down to a fl
nal committe vote in such a shape that
no advocate of the sric administration
principlas-the acid test, as he pres
ident puts it-could vote against it.
The opposing vote of Senator Smith
therefore. leaves no longer any doubt
as to his position on the war program,
as a whole That he has supported
many of the administration measures
is matter of record; that he has OPP
posed his, also shows that he is not in
sympathy with the program as sched-
uled at the white house. He, there
fore. comes under the ban rs outlined
in Mr.. Wilson's now famous letter to
Davies in which he declares, in sub
stance, that members of congress who
fail to support the war program as out.
lined are out of sympathy and conse.
quently do not meet the tests OF I'M.
qualified and militant loyalty.
