At the RiaItO.

Once a star makes a debut on the
screen or begins appearances I'M
der new banner there is much
speculation among the players,
most of them very superstitious
This was the case when Pauline
Frederick began work on her ini-
tial Goldwyn Picture, THE Wom-
an on the Index" which comes to
the Rialto theatre, beginning to-
day.
All the actors asked each other
if the play would bring them luck
or otherwise. Not one of them had
ever appeared with Miss Frederick
before and knowing she was re-
turning to forceful emotion dramas
and making her debut under the
protection of the Goldwyn lion, all
were conscious that the occasion
was no ordinary one.
Engaged for the kind of roles
each was best suied to assume, the
players did not know to what ex-
tent they were involved in the plot
nor anything about the order in
which they were to appear on the
screen. All agreed, however, that
the person opening the play would
be distinguished from all the rest.
If the play was a sensational sue
cess he or she would certainly
share it. If any fatalities happen
ed during the course of production
the actor first seen would surely
be affected by it.
At last the play was read by Will
lard Mack and Hobart Henley to
the cast and then it became known
that Louis Stems, as the degraded
father of Miss Frederick as Sylvia
Martin, would be the first char
ter seen after the star. Of course
no unexpected happenings occur
red while the production was under
way and the high favor, THE Wom-
an on the Index" bids fair to enjoy
when Miss Frederick comes to the
Rialto theatre today promises to be
Mr.. Stern's good luck charm in all
his future enterprises.

Miss Hixon as soloist; descriptive
dance entitled Moth and the

Xfas very pleasing number being
rstaged by the light of burning tap

by Miss Davis was very prettily
executed. She was presented with
a floral token in appreciation of
her work. The Anloo rubens looked
as though they were imported di-
rect from the hayfields. Dancing
in the inn followed the outdoor
program.
The marriage bureau did a rush

proceeds will be used to send the

FOR SAFETY AND COMFORT.

Mosquitoes are becoming something of a
plague in Pensacola A number of the "man-
holes" in the city are constituting themselves
breeding places for the summer pests. In many
neighborhoods people are unable to sit out on
their porches in the evenings with any degree
of comfort and the windows of the drug stores,
with their appealing advertisements, suggest
that some steps should be taken to get rid of this
menace of the warm weather, or at least to miti-
gate the nuisance.
Health officers who were appealed to by resi-
dents on East Hill for relief, declared that the
trouble was quickly overcome through the free
use of OIL and resorted at once to this simple
remedy, to check the nuisance.
If one small application of oil to one manhole
is means of getting rid of mosquitoes at this
particular point, why would not the city find it
to its advantage to invest in few dollars worth
of kerosene and see that it is applied where it
is needed-which seems to be in every section
of the city.
If the oil is effective in one place, it would
seem that its general use might well be recon-
mended. At any rate it is certainly well worth
trying. Certainly the health authorities should
take some steps to put stop to the scourge and
reduce the danger of fever, of which the mos
quito is supposed to be carrier.

A HEARTY WELCOME.

Pensacola has been chosen as the convention
city of the Florida State Press Association at It's
next annual meeting, and the people of this city
are to be congratulated upon this fact.
South and West Florida are too little known
to each other and particularly is it true that
those F1oridians who make their home in the
southern and eastern section of the state seldom
visit this the western section. It is perhaps this
fact, as much as any other, which is responsible
for the recurrence of that Eternal Question:
Shall West Florida and South Florida agree to
q divorce?
Let us hope that the meeting of the State
Press Association in Pensacola next summer, will
prove a bond and that the men who visit the
Deep Water City may come to the realization
that we are, after all, of one state family, and
have interests in common.
The annual meeting just closed was pro-
nounced one of the most valuable in every way
to Florida members of the Fourth Estate who
will find on their future visit to Pensacola that,
though we are forging ahead with our big naval
flying school, our steel fabricated steel ship
building plant, our mammoth dry dock, and our
modern fuel oil station, that we are still old
fashioned enough to have the latch-string al
ways on the outside, when it comes to entertain
ing the members of the press of Florida, who
have done more than any other class of men for
the development of this state.

FOR BETTER CROPS.

Already the farmers of Escambia county are
mobilizing their forces for better crop cam
paign, and the visit of state representatives
from the University of Florida last week gave
an added impetus to the movement for bigger
and better county fair.
Escambia county carried off more blue rib
bons than any other county at the Florida state
fair last year. and it is the general opinion that,
had the fair management had the backing it
should have had from. those most directly in
terested-the farmers-this county would have
won first honors.
too late to put those lessons into practice 1t is
all very well for us to congratulate ourselves on
the fact that Escambia county has such vast
possibilities, as were demonstrated at the state
air, but unless we make the most of those posi-
bilities of what practical value will they prove,
after all?
Pensacola received some wonderful adVertis-
ing last year, through her exhibit at the state
fair. But it must be remembered that she is go
ing to have greater competition this year, for the
counties which she distanced, and especially
those of West Florida are going to do their best
to wrest her honors from her. Now is the time
for all good farmers to come to the aid of Escam-
bia. Here's hoping that the Escambia exhibit
at the state fair in November viii carry off the
blue ribbon. Certainly nothing could go farther
towards increasing confidence of investors in
this section of Florida

srRAIGHT INTERPRETATIONS.

We note that in several cities they are or
ganizing political clubs among the foreign-born
and are calling them by hyphenated name with
the American coming last, as usual, in the n.y.
phenation.
We note that some of these clubs are being
formed because they say President Wilson did
not give them "home land" square deal in the
peace conference proceedings.
In short, these citizens of our country are go
ing into politics to uphold the political interests
Of the land from which they emigrated.
Some of these gentlemen came from nations
that were our allies in the late war.
But that is incidental.
We held that right now is the time to stop this
worship of fatherland ideals this making of for
egn politics local ISSUE this combining in clubs
and SOCIETIES to further the interests of any ma
zion, but the one where you make your living,
and whose institutions you are sworn to uphold.
Every club of this sort perpetuates un-Ameri-
sanism.
Every foreign ISSUE no matter what it may be,
that becomes slogan for American citizens, to
an extent, divides this nation into national or
racial factions.
There is only room in this country for Ameri-
can citizens who have no yearnings or allegiance
or traffic with foreign policies.
Unless in this, the hour when our recently
escaped peril is still in our memories, and the
hourwhen the sacredness of loyal citizenship still
seems the greatest thing in the world; unless
now we definitely frown on all this hpyhenation,
this pickering European issues, these at
tempts to inject the politics of Rome or Paris or
Berlin or Petrograd or London or Vienna or
Toxic into domestic parties and campaigns we
will, in time, find ourselves divided into cliques
and hyphenations, with no national ideas and NO
strong anchor of patriotism to the lee when the
storms break
We look with disfavor on these attempts to
make political issues of foreign quarrels.
1t is big enough chore for any man to be an
American citizen, and perform the duties loyal
citizen should.
Most of these gentlemen who glorify the holi-
days of the mOtherland, who extol in festive ses-
sion the heroes of the fatherland, who spend so
much Of their time following the lodgings of
foreign diplomacy have no ear for the cries of
the land where they reside.
These gentry deem this country meal ticket
and nothing more.
The man who breaches straight Americanism,
pure and undefiled, viii not be popular in many
cities in this country for many years. but it is
q message that must be preached in season and
out, lest we become nation of warning sects, as
unstable as the old Austrian empire, and as
without true ideals of unity as Bolsheviki Rus

He Spoke a Little careIessIx.


Whether or not Hawker as he now
says. was misunderstood by those who
heard and reported his comments on
the flight of the American seap1anes
that is a question of no great con-
sequence. He has now made plain
either what he meant to say or what
he has come to realize he should have
said. and to it there is no objection
at all to be made.
And as he knew then exactly what
he knows now, it is as easy as it is
kind to accept his assurance that he
intended no depreciation of the achieve
ment of others. He is quite right in
declaring that between what he at
tempted and what the Americans did
there was only the likeness that in
each case the crossing of the Atlantic
was the end in view. The whole plan
of operation was different-so differ
ent that the element of rivalry prac-
tically disappeared.
The glory that Hawker sought IS
stin to be gained by him or some
body else, and none will congratulate
more heartily the man who wins it
than the members of the crew of the
Nc-4-New York Times.
The st. Petersburg Times states that
Clearwater is afflicted with a common
Florida disease-terra firTna activibus,
commonly known as real estate activ-
ity, and that it is epidemic at Saint
Pete. It IS appalling the way the thing
is sweeping Miami: just can not keep
it under control. Men are spending
hundreds of thousands OF dollars in
piling great buildings on top of it. but
the thing cannot be kept under con-
troll; fact is, nobody is trying very
hard, and the situation is likely to
soon to sweep the city-into one of
