Mingle With Service Men in
Visit to Fort Barrancas, Air
Station and Fleet.
McGILL TELLS MEN
TO GO SECOND MILE
Says That Doing What Is Not
Required of Men by Law Is
What Makes for Civic Growth,
Fellowship and Prosperity.

Yesterday was big day with local
Rotarians who turned out almost one
hundred strong to welcome District
Ala. An automobile tour over the city
was followed by a trip OF inspection
through the mammoth yards of the
Pensacola Shipbuilding Company as
the guests of Capt. Paul Stewart. A
visit to the Naval Air station and Fort
Barrancas preceded the luncheon at
the San Carlos hotel
IF a man compel thee to go with
him mile, go with him twain
Using this scriptural text for his
subject, District Governor Truman Nc
Gill addressed the Rotary Club empha-
sizing the importance of Rotarians
doing the things of life they are not
compelled to do.
He first urged the members to exer-
else the spirit of the second mile in
citizenship. There are certain laws
and regulations that men are compell-
ed to observe, the breaking of which
brings the hand of the law upon them.
but" said the speaker. men are not
required to have a civic spirit, and
yet we find men today travelling the
second mile in citizenship by doing

rendering unselfish service, such as
makes for the betterment of the com
munity, state and nation
1t is the spirit that builds hospi-
tails, that provides fresh air homes,
that supports public charities, that
erects buildings for the safe guarding
OF our boys and yonug men. 1t is thi.
spirit that sends men forth to serve
the nation as Rotarians have done dur
ing the great world war"
The speaker next emphasized the
need of men travelling the second mile
in business, dwelling especially upor
the importance Of both employer and
employe considering other interests
besides their own.
He further urged men to travel the
second mile in self-culture, showing
the need for all to develop their tai
ents to the highest point of self i'm
provement, whether it be in science,
music. art or literature. He closed
his remarks with an appeal to all
Rotarians to be loyal to the principles
OF the organization.

PENSACOLA HAS
FIRST CHANCE
TO ENJOY HOP
Lieut.. ]. A. Whitted Will Take
Passengers in His New F.
Type Flying Boat - First
Commercial Seaplane Here.

The first commercial seaplane for
Pensacola is now in business and PEN
sacolians who for years have had to
watch naval flyers will now have their
first chance to enjoy the thrills of
flying.
Lieut.. J. A. Whitted, U. S. N, r. F.,
recently placed on inactive duty. has
purchased navy F-boat and has gone
into the passenger carrying business.
Lieut.. Whitted has been plotting naval
air craft since before the war and has
flown every type of plane the navy
owns except the NC-planes. He made
the first trip to New Orleans in Sep
.tember, 1918, and was in charge of the
expedition which went to Cuba in
March of this year.
An interesting feature Of Lieut.
Whitted's flight to Cuba is that he
ereturned to the states on the de-
stroyer Robinson, which is now in the
.harbor.
The navy F-boat is a two or three
passenger flying boat. and is said to
be the safest plane the navy used
during the war. The one Lieut. Whit
ted is operating has new wings. new
struts and controls. a new motor and
all the modern flying instruments.
Lieut.. Whitted was chief instructor
in advanced flying at the naval air
station here for more than two years
and has been 761 hours in the air. He
is noted for his skill and has the rep
utation of never having broken Sc
much as a strut. He has had more
time in HIS boats than any other
man in the navy.
Mrs. Whitted was the first passenger
the lieutenant took up with him yes
terday. She says she enjoyed the hop,
immensely and declares she is going
to fly once a day. She also asserts
that she is going to learn to pilot the
boat. She and Lieut.. Whitted plan to
fly to st. Petersburg after few weeks
stay at Pensacola.
Lieut.. Whitted's landing place will!
be back of the yacht club on Palafox
street. He expects to make flights
every day during fair weather and
offers Pensacolians a chance to en-
joy the thrills Of Sky hopping"

ELLIS TO ASK
FOR MORE MEN
POLICE FORCE
Chief Says That Department
With Its Present Limited Per-
sonnel Cannot Give Adequate
Protection.

More police protection for the busi-
ness section of the city is going to be
requested of the city commissioners
The recent robberies in that quarter
and the arrival of large stocks of val
liable goods for the holiday trade the
addition of at least two more police
men to the retail district an absolute
necessity. Chief Ellis says. Merchants
and other business men are comment
ing upon the lack of protection at the
present time and feel that something
should be done Immediately
In ~an interview yesterday, Chief
of Police Ellis said: 'I fully realize
that there is not sufficient protection
for the business houses of the city,
but I cannot place any more men
there because I haven't got them. ]
am going to ask the police commits
sioner for additional men for this
purpose, and know that some Of the
merchants have asked him for this
protection already.
IF I take any of the patrolmen from
their regular beats and place them in
the down. town section, it will leave
those beats absolutely unprotected,
and they are poorly enough protected
as it is. I consider I am doing all ]
can with the present force, and it is
not my fault that there are not enough
policemen for the adequate protection
of the city"
In addition to the recent robberies
on Palafox and Garden streets, many
disturbances are constantly occurring
One night last week a crowd watched
fist fight on Palafox street, between
Garden and Romano streets, for hall
an hour and the police were nowhere
to be seen. Monday night a group OF
civilians thrashed three sailors at the
same place and the affair was over
before the police arrived.
The present beats which the patrol.
men are required to cover are too long
so the policemen say, and they fee
that they are not to blame because
they cannot be in a dozen places al
the same time.

Centennial Boosters.

We're just back from Tallahassee,
Among old Leons red bills
We went to put one over
On that gang from Jacksonville.
And we did that thing, believe me,
We did 1T good and strong.
When Johnnie Jones and FrenkeI
Began to sing their song.
Why. they only had a corporaIs guard,
But they were all good as a slammer,
For they would always holler out:
Go back to Alabamal
We only considered the source
From which that slur had come,
For Pensacola is full of pep
And Jacksonville on the bum. n
They'll be over here this week
To see what we have to show and
say,
And, believe me. boys. they'll all fall
dead
When they gaze on our beautiful
bay.
With Uncle Sans brave war ships
Safely anchored in the stream,
1t will make that bunch from Jack-
sonville
Imagine they've had a dream.
1t VIII be dream that they'll never have
About that little river st. John
Sure this is the place for the Centen-
nial
For here is where the deal was born.
Wen show them our old Spanish forts
That was built by the sons of Spain,
And show them the finest harbor
South, from the coast of Maine.
Then IL Jacksonville can show sucl,
claims
Pensacola will give up the fight
And take off our coats and all go to
work
And give a Centennial right
United States Marshal Perkins told
how the Key West member of the state
commission had been absent at tho
first meeting, and his successor at
the meeting Monday. He explained
the battle put up by the Pensacola.
delegation to keep Jacksonville from
forcing the commission to hear th.
claims at Mondays meeting and how
the commission had finally been pre-
vailed upon to meet in Pensacola.
Mr.. Perkins made a strong plea for
continued pep" and urged the men
and women of the city to keep on
working shoulder to shoulder as they
did at Tallahassee, and assured them
that in that way Pensacola could NOT
lose the centennial and would surely
grow to be the principal city on the
gulf coast.
He expressed his faith in the integ-
rity OF the commission and said that
he believed Pensacola's claims would
receive just and fair consideration. Ho
commended Chairman Brorein for his
fair -mindedness and readiness to call
the Pensacola meeting.
r. Pope Reese. who was to have pre-
sented the legal aspects of Pensacola,s
claims at Tallahassee. gave a short
history OF the centennial fight. as-

Anybody looking at the letters could

high school pupils rather than grade

of them are realizing that they need

and that it is necessary to brush teeth
as well as to brush hair. One thing l
