Five national A. A. U. aquatic
championships are on the schedule
for this week. On Wednesday the
Pittsburgh A. A, is booked to run off
the mems title plunge for distance,
Pittsburgh A. A. is booked to run off
and on Saturday the Philadelphia
Gymnastic Society will stage the wom-
ems l00yard swim, while the Detroit
A. c. will supervise the mems 220-
yard free style and 150-yard back
stroke races, as we'll as the women's
, springboard fancy diving contest.
Local interest centres upon the two
events for mermaids, in which repre-
sentatives of the New York Women's
S. A. will take part. Entered for the
century sprint are Miss Charlotte
Boyle, holder of the outdoor title at
the distance, and Miss Ethelda Bleib-
trey, the newly developed star of the
ing laurcls arc three prize winners at
the high diving championship, Miss .Io-
sephine Bartlett, Mrs Bertha Tomp-
kins and Miss Alice Lord.
Vouchers have been turned in for
the worlds 200-yard relay swimming
record for | minute a. seconds, set
few days ago by Binncy, Hincks, Mil
roy and Archibald, of Yale, and they in
dcate that all requirements were COM
piled with, SO there is hardly a doubt
that the new figures will be officially
listed by both the A. A. U. and the
international Federation. The former
record stood l minute AZ 1-5 seconds
The 1O0-yard swim for girls under
thirteen, held on Wednesday in the
municipal pool at Sixticth Street, was
beyond question the most remarkable
ever witnessed anywhere. 1t will be
recalled that only a couple OF weeks
ago Il Philadelphia youngster of this
age was credited with the fastest per-
formance on record when she covered
the century in | minute 20 seconds.
In Wednesdays race all three of
the place winners beat this time, Cert
rude Ederle taking first in minute
27 4-5 seconds, and it needs be added
that Eileen Riggin, who finished
dangerously close second, undoubtedly

had she not been left at the start and
lost about three yards thereby.

purpose Of greeting his friends.
Mr.. Drane soon after being seated
roticed map of Florida, to which
he referred in unmistakable tones OF
admiration, declaring that to be the
prettiest picture in Washington, and
it was not difficult to get him to say
what part of the picture impressed
him most.
Being asked to speak, Mr.. Drane
said he. had no speech to make but
that in thinking of the Cross-State
waterway, two ideas came to him.
one being that this project is ~des-
tined to become at no distant date
one of national Importance, and the
other that, while it might be some
years hence, it might even become of
worldwide importance.
Mr.. Drane convinced his hearers OF
his intense interest in the waterway
across the state and gave some valu-
able suggestions, of which careful
note was taken by those present. He
spoke only few minutes, but his
words were to the point. He told
cow he had been handicapped when
he first went to Washington, and
brought out the fact that he wanted
: to see everything possible in connec'
ton with the Caloosahatchee and the
canals, so that he could be ready with
the necessary information.
Mr.. Drane spoke feelingly Of Pres
| ident Wilson and his illness in mine
and body as a result of the strain O
: overwork, and expressed the hop,
that in Gods providence he would
, soon be restored to health. He paid ;
, high tribute to the President and de

HOW GAINESVILLE SUN
STANDS ON GOV. CATS

We have been, told today of two
inquiries made as to how The Gaines
vile Sun stands on Governor Cats,
the inquiries carrying with them the
idea of uncertainty. These people
may not read The Sun at all or their
inquiries may be merely affectation.
No intelligent man can read The
Sun without knowing that we oppose
Governor Cats for United States
Senator, but with all our heart favor
the reelection OF Senator Fletcher.
We write these things every few
days.
The editor of The Sun wants to say
that, old as he is, he campaigned this
county from end to end, during Gov.
ernor Cats primary race for Cover
nor. We opposed him then because
lie was newcomer" and we, did not
know him. We oppose him now be
cause we do know him.
But The Sun will not indulge in
little mud throwing. 1t is that very
thing that nominated and elected Mr.
Cats Governor. We propose to ap
peal to the reason of men.-Gaines
vile Sun.

pose of securing first-hand informa-
ton regarding this river, in order that

able from personal observation, to
enable him to work advantageously
on the proposed improvements.
1t had been the plan of the local
members of the South Florida Ship
Canal Association to take Mr.. Drane
up by automobile, but as it was his
desire to see the river and learn
something about it, so that he would
be at no disadvantage, the boat trip
was arranged with E. E. Damkohler
in charge.
At LaBelle, Mr.. Drane will be met
by party of about twenty Fort My
ers citizens, members of the Soutl
Florida Ship Canal Association, ant
will attend the meeting of that organ
ization at Moore Haven this evening
at which Mr.. Drane is expected II
speak and give some information tina
will be of value to the association.

Dealers Of long experience yesterday
recalled that in 1859. when silver went
to the highest figure ever touched,
conditions were rather similar to those
obtaining now, Tho Crlmean war OF
1854 and 1885. had caused England to
incur heavy debts In the far east. and
the Indian mutlny OF 1855 had further
complicated the situation, necessitat-
Ing heavy advances to the East India
Company, which were made almost
solely in silver. That need Of the Brit.
ish government forced the price ue
from around bsMd to 82&d.
That advance was not nearly SO SEN
sational as the advance which has TAX
en- place here since the embargo on
exports was lifted. On May 9, silver
sold at sl,Ol an ounce. or at the ratio
OF a0.42 to Of gold. On May ~, 1t had
shot up to s1.20 in~the open market,
but It reacted to s1.o3 on July IL. This
reaction was followed by an advance
to s1.15 on Aug. 81. which was the
highest price reached until the latest
advance started two weeks ago.

ON LARGER TREES
Trees That Cost From 2s Cents to

Been rs Cents TO S2.75 For Two
Years Going to be From rs Cents to
S1.5o This Season.

Thank goodness at least one thing
that goes into the making OF Christ
mas at many homes IS going TO cost
less this year than last. It's tho
Christmas tree. Children. and espec-
tally their parents, who must pay the
bill, are expected TO rise and applaud.
Not only Is u local merchant. who Is
L distributor Of trees annually. author
ity for the statement that Christmas
trees will cost less, but his prediction
OF retail prizes for next month APP
proaches p-e-war prices.
From Is cents to $3.50 Is going to
buy Christmas tree this year. he
says. The smallest trees will be q
quarter. those little larger so cents.
but from 81 to s150 will buy the Iarg-
est ones.
This predicted price. compares with
so 10 rs cents for the smallest trees
last year and the year before and from
81 to $3.50 and S2.75 for the largest
trees. That's some falling off in price.
The price of 25 cents to $3.50 for
next month compares fairly favorable
with pre-war price Of from a quarter
10 S1.25 for trees.
Just why the price is lower no one
is prepared to say, but 1t IS, so that's
all there is to it. 1t Is noted. however,
that the prices for Christmas trees in
Chicago. for example, are quoted at
from 50 cents to $3.50 a tree for this
season. compared with prices last year
that ranged as high as IS to $40
tree. The first trees are expected to
be delivered here about Dec. 10.
