Helium Gas Cheapened.

Up to 1915 the total output Of
helium gas in all the world had prob
ably been less than 100 cubic feet, and
it was worth about LOO cubic foot.
But just before the armistice was
signed a shipment of 10000 cubic
feet of halium gas was sent to Europe,
and 1t costs less than 10 cents cubic
foot.
Helium gas was first discovered on
the sun, by spectroscopy 1t Is the
best Gas for use in balloons, because
II is not infammable. 1t is now ex.
t1aeted from the natural gas of Texas
and Kansas.
The method is delicate and com.
plex, bit is based upon the fact that
the principal constituents of natural
gas liquefy when cooled to about minus
329 degrees f., but that helium re-
mains gas at that temperature, and
bence is easily separated.

Honor Cuban Generals.

Cuba is to pay honor to the memory
of General Maxine Gomez, the island
republics military hero, by erecting a
costly monument. A first prize of $685.

forces in the war for independence
from Spain, from 1895 to 1898. He
also took a prominent part in the Ten
Years war, revolt which began in
1868. On the day of his death, June
Is, 1905, the generals family was pre-
sented with a gift of 100000 by the
government of Cuba. At the conclu-
sion of the Spanish-American war.
General Gomez was honored at a pub

forces occupying Havana at that time.

THINK TERM IS EFFEMlNATE
Some Tennis Players Object to Word
"Love" as at Present Employed
In Scoring System.

There is talk among the overlords
Of tennis of finding another word than
"love" to mean nothing" in the scor-
ing system, for. although II may sur,
prise many to hear 1t, the game Is
sometimes spoken of as effeminate,
and this bit of Technology Is held re-
sponsible. Nobody has ever explained
why "love" means nothing" In tennis,
but there is foctnote in an old and
rare book about card-playing which
refers to an old Scottish word "luff,"
which meant nothing" and this, per-
haps, may have been somehow trans
ferred into the game of tennis. Or,
again, the term may be Of far eastern
origin, where word sounding Like
'love" was used in the old form Of
tennis that was once popular In the
orient. Whether or not the ternin-
ology undergoes change, the game IL
in no immediate danger of falling of
In popularity, and the repeated shout
ing of these seeming endearments
across the tennis net has occasioned
much innocent merriment-,Christi

WILL ROAR TOWARD GERMANY
Position of ScuIptured Lion on Fa-
nous Battlefield Of Waterloo Is
to Be Reversed.

The lion on the battlefield of Water
loo is to face the other way, and
before long it viii stand with open
ponderous paws roaring silently, after
the manner of your fierce but consid-
crate sculptured lions, toward Ger
many instead of France. Fortunately
for the quiet of the countryside the
roar is imaginary or the lion would
long ago have become a nuisance
whichever way he faced. The lion
was set up by Belgium after the bat
tie of Waterloo, and stood as warn
ing to France not to engage In any
more Napoleonic dreams of conquest !;
and year after year 1t looked toward
France, while behind 1t Germany pre-
pared for the next effort to dominate
other nations. 1t maintained its atti-
tude while Germany carried through
the program that separated Alsace-
Lorraine from France; but presently
behind the lions back Belgium began
TO fortlfy, and eventually left him in
the ridiculous position of looking In
one direction while the Belgian fortif-
cations looked in another. A tame
lion, one might say, roaring for the edi-
fcation of tourists and with no per-
sonal feeling about 1t. But now Bel
GUM decides to turn him round ADD
let him roar toward Germany as
solemn reminder of the unwisdom of
dreams of world conquest.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING TIRED

On the first page Of today's issue Of
the Telegram appears a letter from q
prominent legal firm of Tampa to the
president Of a local bank, telling Of
the fleeing of winter visitor. by one
OF the gang of crooks who are making
their headquarters in Lakeland this
winter. While they got but $S5, they
had their intended victim lined up
tor phony deal involving large
sum, and he was saved from heavy
loss, probably, only by the friendly
intervention Of his attorneys.
The Evening Telegram dislikes to
publish any matter that may in any
way hurt the reputation Of the city:
but 1t feels that this community will
get a much worse reputation if it sits
IDLY by and allows a nest of crooks
to operate here unmolested than IL It
appears that the citizens do not an
prove OF harboring such people and
are making an effort to get rid of
them.
Every day we reprint stories show.
ing the operations of similar gangs in
other Florida cities, these stories be.
ing taken from the reputable newspa,
pers OF these several cities, which
have reached the conclusion that pub.
Hcity is the best weapon with which
TO hight these wolves who are trying
to prey upon the unsuspecting and
gullible guests among us.
So far there appears there Is no
way by which the law can be invoked,
and the people Of many communities
are getting pretty indignant. In San
ford feeling has reached such point
that a vigilance committee has been
organized There has been talk of
doing the same thing here-not the
idle talk of boys or irresponsibles, but
the utterances of the most substantial
men of the community. The Evening
Telegram has never, and will not
now, encourage any illegal proce.
dure; but 1t merely passes the hint
out that the temper of the people is
getting pretty badly strained. The
crooks are known; where they live,
the secluded house to which they
take their intended victims, the cars
they brasenly operate on the streets
al are matter of common knowledge.
With this knowledge and the further
knowledge that it is difficult to reach
them through the usual legal chan
mel, 1t is by no means certain that
conservative counsels will continue
indefinitely to prevail.

ing looking fellow-strolling idly, and
fell into conversation quite otfhanG
as 'twere with Mr.. Carson. The two
men talked Of this and that--the
weather and the war-and finally the
topic of horse racing was mentioned
II knew it was coming" said Mr..
Zuchlke.
The stranger said he knew some
thing about the ponies, and thought
he could make his new-found friends
some money. He suggested that they
take little flyer of dollar at the
game, by way Of trying their luck.
Win S. on a 81 Bet.
HE suggested that we drive around
the block for thirty minutes said
Mr.. zuehlke, land come back, ana
ne in the meantime would put up the
money.
Sure enough in thirty minutes ne
was back, and 1t seems both Mr.. Car
son and had won five dollars.
after it was thus proved that the
game was profitable, and our luck OF
the best, 1t was seriously suggested to
me that come in on large scale.
Both men talked to me earnestly
about putting up some real money
But I said, No, I guess I've done
about as much of this business as I
want to-
II could see that they were dis
appointed, but they never let on. But
Mr.. Carson made the sug.
gestion that he thought it was only
fair that inasmuch as we, were not
going to continue to play the races
that we refund the five dollars to the
stranger. But I said, No, I'm going
to keep what I've got, and if you
gentlemen will just carry me to the
depot I will catch a train to Orlando,
and be glad to pay my own way"
And they did. And that ends the
story as far as Mr.. Zuehlke is con-
cerned, except that he felt so grateful
to this newspaper that he said he
would make up the loss to the or
phans' fund.-. which he did on the
spot.
The car of "Mr. Carson" he dc.
scribed as black Overland limousine
He said he didn't remember the num-
Der, and perhaps it didn't make much
difference, because It is likely the
gang changes numbers to suit the oc.
casion.

How Crooks Tried
To Work Their
Game In Sanford

! A story of how the Reporter Stal
put crimp in the activity of tie wire
tappers was told this morning BY
Herman. zuehlke, a winter visitor
from Akron, Mich, who is stopping
here, SOSh West Church street.
Mr.. Zuehlke said he read in this
paper OF the supposed activity of the
bunch hereabouts-and how this Of
ice was robbed, and the pennies OF
the orphans of Europe stolen-and he
was on his guard. Otherwise they
, might have fieeced him.
The story was Of arresting interest,
as showing how the crooks work. and
it points the moral also that the most
effective curb to their operations is
publicity.
Meets Stranger at EOla Park.
Mr.. zuehlke told of meeting Satur-
day afternoon, "a business man" from
Elgin, Ill, while sitting on a park
bench at Lake Eola. The Mr.. Car
son7that was the Elgin magnate's
namb-came and sat down on the
same bench with the Orlando visitor.

Sunday Mr.. Carson happened to
pass Mr.. Zuehlke in his car, and took
him for a ride. It was a very en-
joyable ride, with chauffeur at the

vasive air Of nonchalance and ease.

SUCCESS
(By R. A. Ward)

The goal of human ambition,
Is to render our lives a success
Rut that we are lacking in judgment
We are often forced to confess.
We NAV gain the objects sought for
That are not worth the labor and
cost,
And so, our most strenuous chorus
And time, are irrevocably lost.
The object may be worthy OF effort
But whether it brings pleasure OF
pain,
Depends on the value we give it.
In our estimate of losses and gain
We may gain wealth and honors and
friendships,
And other rich blessings in life,
But to make them the goal OF ambi
ton,
May lead to vexation and strife.
The question for US to consider
Is, What do We mean by success?
Though we gain the objects sought
for,
They may lead to pain and dis
tress.
Thus, our successes may prove but
failures,
And our failures may prove a sue
cess,
Though we often find it difficult,
The actual truth to confess.
The successful life is determined,
Not by the wealth or fame we Sc.
cure,
But by the treasures we lay up in
heaven,
Where riches will always endure.
We may gain the whole world with
its riches,
And all its blessings control,
But the price is far too costly,
II paid as the price Of the soul.
