THE ESSENTIAL PARACHUTE

It remains rather difficult for the
traveller on the water to get off and
walk when he wearies of the boat.
1T is going to be different with the
air passenger. He may open up his
parachute and descend to earth any
time he wishes.
Parachuting to earth from balloons
is nothing new. Neither is it par
ticularly difficult or daring under
proper conditions. But parachuting
from swiftly moving airplane is
more dangerous and requires more
-o..sse for the initial jump, although
in time it will probably seem as safe
and tame as descending from the top
story OF a tall building in a we'll reg
ulated elevator.
The parachute is the aerial navi-
gators life preserver. His machine
may crash to earth while the aviator
glides slowly and safely down with
his parachute. There are other up
, to date uses for this old device. De-
hverings Of mail and other packages
can be made while the plane con-
tinues on its way in the air. There
was the crate of eggs that was waited
gently to earth with the grace and
hghtness of feather or falling
leaf And there was the member of
the R-34's crew who descended to
the landing field from the sky in
order to superintend the anchoring
Of the big airship.
Comparative safety must be as
sured II the airplane is to develop
fully. In this the parachute will
be great help.

Our knees smote together when we
discovered a letter in our mornings
mail which had printed on the envel-
ope; "United States Penitentiarv.
Atlanta, Ga, Department of Justice,
Official Business" What official busi-
ness the penitentiary had with US we
could not imagine though well we know
that more than half our population
would be in the pen if the laws were
enforced, and we also knew we had
broken so many laws we could not i'm
aglne which one the department of
justice had gotten wise to. We sent
out for "dope" and called up the
doctor before we could summon up
courage to tear open the envelope. But
like most troubles ours was magma

The evening leader., 1919-01-17

and others spoke we'll and encourag-
ngly of the project. Mrs. Morgan
pointed out several desirable and nee
essary objects to be attained thereby.
One most desirable and heretofore un-
mentioned object was the construction
or a simple yet efficient emergency
hospital for sick ones who might come
and be in need of assistance. 1t was
that of folding platform which could
be utilized as the floor for tent that
could be set up as occasion REQUIRED.
1t was splendid thought and one that
should be developed, by all means.
Her mind was quickened in this direc-
ton by instances. which she cited, and
which were not altogether to the cred
it of the town.
Mr.. Wahn is a recent arrival. The
leading thought in his mind was one
iof gratitude and pleasure because of
the cordiality of the citizens he met
with on every hand. He unwittingly
illustrated the thought that our vision
largely depended on the color of our
glasses. He heartily approved the or
ganization of the club.
Harry Greene then moved that the
meeting organize a club to be known
as the Tarpon Tourists Club, with DR..
VIM. E. Morgan as president. The
motion was duly seconded and carried.
On motions duly carried the follow
ing additional officers were chosen:
Vice president, Harry Greene; secre-
taries, A. L. VAIN and Mrs. F. ].
Heynen; treasurer, Mrs. E. E. Hoad-
ley.
On motion, duly carried, the chair
was authorized to appoint a boosters
committee. The chair appointed the
following; Fred schwamb, J. c. Beck
man, Alexander Linn, Thomas Col
burn, Mrs. A. P. Meres, Mrs. Mary
Fowler, M. Speer and F. Timmons.
Mr.. J. c.. Beekman briefly stated
that Mr.. Speer was the first to sug-
gest the organization of a tourists
club in the city and commended him
as the originator of the idea. Mr..
Beekman's remarks were intended as

SIDE THOUGHTS ON GREEK
CELEBRATION

The name Constantine is closely as
sociated with the church. Constantine
l was born at Nissa in February, A.
D. 272 and died near Nicomedia, in
May, 337. During the greater part
of his life he was a pagan. He dis
tinguished himself in the Roman army
in Egypt and Persia. His father died
in A. D. 306 and the army at once
proclaimed Constantine emperor.
During his march in one of his cam
paigns, when hope had fed, he is said
to have seen in the sky a flaming
cross, bearing the inscription, SIN this
conquer" From that time this was
emblazoned as a motto on shields and
other accoutrements. Constantine be-
came a Christian and the era was one
of favor to the Christian church Per-
secutions ceased for time. Whether
Constantine became a Christian from
conviction or otherwise is not known.
Historians attribute it to political rea-
sons.
In $50 he removed the seat of gov
ernment to Constantinople. While
preparing for war against Persia, he
fell i'll and died on the day of Penta-
cost after having been baptized by the
bishop, A. D. 337, at the age of 65.
Attitude of the Church
The Greek church has not been ag-
gressive in proseiyting, but has main
tanned an attitude of defense. In Rus
sia, however, the government has sue
ceeded in converting a great number
of non-christian populace to the faith.
The theological literature of the
church is not extensive. None of it's
works have ever. had marked infu-
ence either on Roman Catholics or
Protestant denominations The Bible
is the recognized authority. Ecclesi-
astlcal seminaries have considerably
increased during the past century. A
system of doctrines of tho Greek
church, more complete, and, on ac-
count Of its application of Aristotelian
formulas, more scientific than any
similar work in the Latin church up to
that time, was compiled by the monk
John Damascene, who died about 76O.
The evening leader., 1919-01-17

No better investment can be made
than in first-class modern apartment
house in this city. If we have a tour
list here now who is looking for
chance to invest, this is to him.
The evening leader., 1919-01-17

We heard man say it is cold as
h. Soon after we heard the same
fellow say it is hot as h. We are
puzzled. Which, if either, is right +?
Wish our Westminster friends would
put US right. We want to say some
thing about the weather.

Some enterprising citizen should
start a business which will cater to

The One Mile Town

Chas. II. Platterburg gave a lecture
Monday at the chautauqua on The
One Mile Town. This lecture was
excellent and he pleaded that people
be boosters for their town, no matter
how small the town, where located,
what kind of soil or whether it was q
lively town or dull one. lie said that
if you live in dun town and will
boost il. you can make other people
think it a lively town. and as a re-
suit of everyone's boosting it. it would
become enterprising. Another point he
emphasized was people should patroniZe
the mail order houses less and the local
stores mors, because in patronizing
the local stores the money is kept in
your town, while if the mail order
houses We're patroniZed it woud result
in sending the money ont of your home
town. The city people enjoyed his
lecture very much.
