SUCCESS OF OLDSMAR
A WONDERFUL STORY
Enterprising Two-YearOld Town Is Getting Ready To
Enjoy A Genuine, Old-fashoned Boom

! One of the important recent achieve
ments in Florida is the success of the
new town of Oldsmar; it makes one
think of Aladdin and his magic lamp.
This progressive, enterprising, hus-
ting two-year-old has astonished the
public by its healthy growth during
the world war when it was difficult to
get materials and labor; and the ques-
ton now is: How much faster will
Oldsmar grow during the prosperous
times of peace just ahead of US?
Some towns newly started in Florida
have dragged along slowly, for one
reason or another; but Oldsmar seems
to have avoided mistakes sometimes
made elsewhere. It's history is the sto-
ry of the right way to build town,
and for that reason it is interesting
and valuable information for every
one who has the best interests of Flor
ida at heart. A number of people from
other towns in this state are investing
money in Oldsmar, and this is genuine
evidence of their high opinion. Odds
mar made more progress in the first
two years of its existence than some
other places make in ten, and is get
ting ready on it's merits to enjoy
real, old-fashioned boom.
Leading Features.
When one starts to analyze the rea-
sons for its success, he finds two lead
in creatures: Superior natural loca-
ton and the fact that Oldsmar is an
all-the-year-around town. 1t is grow
ing along three lines of development,
as manufacturing town, winter tour
list resort and farming center. Most
of the popular tourist resorts in Flor
ida are on salt water, and Oldsmar
possesses this advantage. There are
very few towns in Florida which have
a more beautiful water front and har-
Dor on Tampa bay. The factories with
their weekly pay rolls help to keep
business moving twelve months in the
year. Few cities in Florida, outside of
Jacksonville and Tampa, can show as
large machine shop as that of the
Oldsmar Tractor company, where
new style small tractor for farm and
citrus fruit groves is being produced
at price of $500, which is within the
reach of thousands of men who do not
feel they could afford to pay out the
money required to buy a large, costly
tractor. The Oldsmar machine is
something new, powerful and light,
and does its work economically.
Oldsmar is a .substantially-b built
town, with brick stores, factories,
beautiful bungalows, good hotel (the
Wayside Inn) open al 1.-The year
around; electric lights, waterworks,
bank, two garages, town hall, church
and school facilities, parks, sidewalks,
paving-all this in two years; and
Oldsmar is going ahead today with
the energy and determination which
have characterized it from the begin
ming.

CARE FOR infant

Visiting Nurse Society Would
Reduce Mortality at
Childbirth.

The first step materially to reduce
the mortality rate of mothers and in
fants at childbirth in Washington has
been taken by the Instructive Visit
ing Nurse Society. in the appoint
ment to it's regular nursing staff of a
special maternity nurse.
This action. followed survey of
conditions in Washington surround
ing the care of mothers and babies
at childbirth. The investigation was
made by a committee, of which Mrs.
G. Brown Miller is chairman.
The committees report, in pointing
out the need of maternity nurse in
the District Of Columbia, showed that
there are only few institutions in
this city which offer attendance at
home to women in childbirth. Hos
.pital space is limited. and for many
women it is impossible to leave
home. There are therefore only two
possibilities open to the majority Of
women-a private physician or a mid

Public Libraries Compulsory.
From Christian Science Monitor.
If will not be the fault of the e

From Christian Science Monitor.
1t will not be the fault of the gov
eminent if the new republic OF
Czechoslovakia fails to become well
read nation, for a law just passed by
the national assembly makes it in
cumbent upon every city, town and
village to maintain a public library
reasonably supplied with both educa-
tional books and fiction. Within one
year from the passage of the law
every village large enough to have a
public school must have pubic IL
brary, or the government will know
the reason why. The maintenance of
such libraries is taken for granted as
a logical charge on the local commu-
nity pocketbook. Such a law, however,
is not SO very surprising in a nation
which already has practically no IL
literates, and believes. without ar
gument, in generous use of public
money for educational purposes. Bo-
hernia, in 1910, had 4,451 public libra
ries, and 2,139 libraries belonging to
societies and lodges. The library law
of Czechoslovakia comes, therefore, as
a natural expression of the nation,
and one may take 1t as another sign
that the new republic will prove
worthy addition to the world neigh
borhood.

New Pronouns Needed.
b the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star.
The English language needs some
new pronouns to use when both sexes
are included. In law "he" has been
held by some of the male judges to
include ''she"; but in view of the
nineteenth amendment, and some
other considerations, she is more. apt
to include him.
Pronouns of common gender are
needed A new word "hesh'' (com-
pound of "he" and "she'D would an
swer. "Shis" could be used for This
or her" and shin" for him or her. J."
The awkwardness of our pronouns Is
shown in this sentence: In fixing a
wage scale an invariable unit of time
Sthe hour) should be adopted for all
workers, so that he or she will get
the exact value of his or her time in
money paid to him or her.
With the new words suggested the
latter part of the above sentence
would read: 80 that hesh will get
the exact value of shis time in money
paid to shim."
These new words would sound nat
ural after a little usage.
