The Land of Enchantment

Since that Easter morn when
Ponce de Leon stepped upon the
Florida shores near where st. Aug
Justine now stands, in his famous
search for the fountain OF perpet-
ual youth, there has hung over the
state an air OF romantic charm
which has proved a drawing card of
no mean ability in attraction of
tourists. When the Spanish cavali-
er first cast his eyes over the fiow-
er-clad banks of the Anastasian
islands, and saw the mingling and
profusion of the multi-colored bios
SONS. no wonder he burst into rap
lures. 1t was my pleasure and de-
light to travel over the same route
that the ageing Spaniard, desperate
ly in love with a young princess of
Granada, Travelled over In the long
ago In his fruitless search for a
spring that would put again the
vitality of life into his body and
the light of youth in his eyes. The
shore line here is low and level, al
most on the same level as the sea.
and should a tidal wave of any pro-
portion arise from the ocean when
1t is angry, 1t would of necessity
sweep over and inundate the whole
adjacent country. The green head
lands, swathed in palmettos and
with their fronded palms lifting
high their arms through the Gains
OF morning mists. stretch out into
the waters which lisp aad eur,
about them. The sea keeps up it's
steady symphony of sound and it's
ever-mournful murmurs of never
dying sorrow, The breakers afar
sound with an ominous roar but
the eddies on the protected inland,
sigh like half-awakened infant.
To me the ocean. centuries old
and ever new, was an object of
perpetual wonder and awe-strik-
ing terror. It's immensely AMI
power, its grandeur and glory,
thrilled me with an holy admira-
ton yet held me in the thrall of an
unspeakable terror in the realiza-
ton of my own insignifcance. It's
restless pillows, crashing against
the shore and battling with each
other, like the poetic Interpretation
OF life, bear to land many tabled
barque and saurin shell, casting
them as drift upon the shore: and
many a wildfower of strange and
varied hues from the far Bahamas,
lie scattered up and down the sauds
of Daytona.
Florida Pastimes
The unique and typical forms of
pastime in Florida were as much a
marvel to me as anything else I en-
countered. One Of the favorite is
turtle-egg hunting. When a crowd
of native Floridians asked me If l
had ever been turtle-egg hunting.
I noticed a twinkle in their eyes
and told them l had not but had
been snipe-hunting number of
times and did not care to go. How
ever they soon set all my suspicious
at rest by explaining that it was

FAIR THIS WEEK

row and lasting three days. Many

seroplane fight the first day and
many sorts of amusements. Record

real sport and 50 we went. At
four in the morning a heavy mist
hangs over the Atlantic and the
beach is enshrouded in a fog veil.
Guiding our heavy Cadillac car ov-
er the Halifax river bridge, we soon
cleared the envirous of Seabreeze
and were out on the long beach,
following the tracks of a Ford. Woe
to him who followeth a Ford. About
two miles above Daytona, near the
Ormond beach, we stuck in the
sand. It was two hours till tide
time and we remembered it was
high tide. So with pleasant
prospect of being swamped in ten
feet of salt water. we worked and
waited. The dark mysterious o.

up our spines. but just as the tide
began to flow in, we gave shove
which sent our car out of the quick

beach which is smooth as q floor.
The great sea turtles sometimes
weigh as much as seven hundred
pounds and they come to shore 10

the tide. The Floridians, often
sleeping on the beach. gather these
eggs and sell them to tourists at
prices which we dislike to men

paying, why worry? -.-.-- .--.-..-
OF course fishing is pactime

all kinds and sizes. In our office

off the Florida coast. The inland

Hunting is also good.
Florida Romance
There is a mystery in the night
time in Florida. When the moon
comes up like a radiant globe out
of the east, marking a golden gilt
tering path over the sea. and when
the stars are hung like chandeliers
in the heavens and the nightbirds
make the woodlands melodious, the
charm of the tropics is fully felt
The moon has a peculiar brilliance
and seems to come nearer to earth
than anywhere else in the world,
and trip up one of the rivers OF
