All of Our Ships Are "eracefuI and Proper"

The Pensacola Journal few days ago gave
an interesting launching of the fifth
all-steel ship at the Pensacola Shipbuiding Com
panys plant, the occasion being attended by crowd
of people and the 9,000-ton vessel taking to the
water gracefully and properly. The big ship was
christened the Rockport and will be valuable
addition to the American merchant fleet. The ships
built at the Pensacola yhrds have been success
fully launched and are among the best of the many
constructed under the supervision OF the Emergency

Councilman Holt Gives jacksonville JOLT

last night that the people of Jacksonville do not
want Camp Johnston, will not meet with the en-
dorsenent of the business and citizens of Jack

millions ready for occupancy, and Mr.. Holt would
have this valuable Jacksonville demolished.

standpoint Everybody knows that the placing of
troops here means that big lot of money Will be
put into circulation. 1t is shrewdly surmised that
as Councilman Holt is personally hostile to Presi
dent Cockrel1 of the Chamber of Commerce, who
has been very active regarding this camp, Mr.
Holt has let his feelings get away with his better
judgment. We must keep the camp here, public
opinion demands it, and Mr.. Holt should immediate
ly withdraw his opposition. It would be great
blow to Jacksonvilles prestige 10 do away with
this camp, for there is great possibility that the
Government will put extensive improvements here,
as it is of the ideal camp sites in the United
States, and any action to do away with it would
be most unpatriotic and foolish. The city council
is composed of loyal public spirited officials with
the citys interests at heart, and they will not
follow Hollis leadership in this matter.-Jackson-

Alabama Points the Way for Florida.

The session of the Alabama legislature which
adjourned lastsweelz submitted the people
amendment to the State Constitution to issue bonds
to the extent of s25.00oo00 to be expended in the
construction of system of modern, hard-surfaced
roads all the state. Undoubtedly there is a
general and insistent demand in Alabama for such
bond issue, else the amendment would not have
been submitted, and If it is adopted that state will
soon thereafter go up into the front rank good
roads commonwealth, with immense benefit to
every interest of the state following inevi-
table consequence.
We need a bond issue here in Florida, but
there is organized public sentiment in that
direction, is there prospect that there will
be- and reliance must be county bond
issues alone, with the disadvantage that there can
be coordination and linking of all the roads
with great state system would be the case
where program for the whole state was being
carried out.
But at all events, Alabama has set shining
example to all of her sister states and If her people
shall adopt the good roads amendment, the force
of the example may not be lost upon Florida; for
day this great tourist where good roads
would be worth more to than to other state
in the SOUTH may be moved organize move

Queer customers" of the Credit
Man.

THdfs
Few positions in retail stores offer
more opportunity for a study of human
nature at close range than that of
the credit manager. All the vicisitudes
of life seem to pass in a Kaleidoscope
review before him when people of
every station daily approach him for
aid in solving their myriad pressing
problems.
"The extension of credit reverts TO
the principle that 80 per cent of the

I'VE have. of course. modern safe

from being correct. @
MY experience has taught me that
the extending of credit may be lik-
ened somewhat to a sixth sense
how I protect this vast business from
losses, I would really be unable to
tell. There is one thing which / have
found it pays to insist upon in grant
ing credit to small accounts, and that
is that a bill must be three-quarters
paid before another is undertaken.
have found that, when person acts
in good faith along these lines, further
extension of credit is advisable. but
when even the Oldest customer on our
books falls by the wayside in this re-
spect we place polite check on his
credit.

Like Driving a sl<ittish Horse.

Granting credit is something like

chases of clothing and other needfuIs

Still on a Hunt for Clay.

The shortage of clay the last six miles of

The division commanded by Major
General E. M. Lewis is typical of the
best of American manhood and may well
be proud of the fact that 95 per cent of
the parents of the boys composing it are

forced marches in case of emergency.

TIRE TROUBLE FORCES FLYER TO STOP FLIGHT

TUCSON, Jan. 19.-Tire trouble forced an overnight stop here tonight of Major T. C. Macauley, commander of Taliaferro field at Fort Worth, Texas, who reached Tucson at 5:90 this afternoon on his way to San Diego in an attempt to make a flight from Fort Worth to the California city, back to Fort Worth, thence to Florida, and back to Fort Worth, in AS hours. He will resume his flight at 6:50 a. m. tomorrow, he said tonight.
 Major Macauley left Fort Worth at daylight stopping at Sweetwater, Pecos and Fl Paso, Texas. The chassis of the big de Haviland was strained in getting out of a mud hole at Sweetwa- ter, and it swerved dangerously as he attempted to leave the field here. To avoid smashing into a crowd which had gathered to see his departure, he ran into the sage brush and crashsd into an irrigation ditch, blowing out both tires.
