FL CENTR0 MUST HAVE MORE HOMES

The fall season OF 1919 with its many home comngs,
with its arrival of wives and Riddles and the opening
school is not far distant
Many of those wives and "kddes" will have homes to
come many more coming who expect to either buy
rent homes after their arrival here Where they going
to live?
For three the call for houses has been continually
heard and yet no home building extensive scale has
been done 1t is stated good authority that Ell
lost than five hundred families within the past year
simply for the fact that there adequate housing
facilities.
The census bureau in making its various population
estimates basis its figures of five people per
family which that at least $500 people lost to
this city last year. Every merchant knows that the
ordinary necessities purchased during years time by $500
people will total tremendous and that to undergo such
loss simply for the that sufficient homes
available, is a shame.
In the face Of such crying need for homes it would
apear that splendid opportunity awaits building
and loan company better yet building syndicate Such
organization could be started with the nuccous of 200
members each making minimum investment OF one hun
dred dollars With the $4,000 capital thus furnished
splendid beginning towards providing homes for Ell

Anything of Value inside?

Now, what would you get out OF a
picture like that anyhow? heard va.
ried remarks as took special notice
Of each scene. There were young girls
about me who gloated openly over the
grandeur OF everything and envied out
loud ali that they saw. There were
others who shifted and we're disguest-
ed and one or two were frankly horrf-
fled at any young lady accepting beau
tiful gowns and dinner invitation from
a strange young man. It was just
fairy tale, but one which didn't work
out as 1t should. Probably, though
it worked out much truer to life in
the picture than it could possibly have
worked out in the imagination. One
wished for the poor little girl much
happiness and perhaps all the beauti-
full things all her own forever. They
probably wouldn't have brought per-
mament Joy but she thought they
would.
Though but a picture, with every
thing valueless because not genuine,
one might, nevertheless get thought
that everything in life takes on spec.
ial Importance or otherwise according
to the standards of living we have.
The little girl brought up in squalor
and unloveliness thought fine clothes
and expensive restaurants and long
nosed automobiles meant heaven it.
self After she had stepped for a
moment into this sort Of r. ry\1d, she
was too young to go back and fight
her way out of the poverty in which
she was born. With no one to help
her, she chose death which meant
rest to her and no more bothering
with the problem.

What might have been a serious
accident was narrowly averted by the
presence OF mind of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Lucas on Saturday night when
they were crossing the Savannah river
on MiddIeton's Ferry, says a McCor-
mick dispatch OF Tuesday. They were
travelling in a touring car. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lucas were on the front seat
with their infant child in the lap OF
Mrs. Lucas. Just as they, had crossed
the river the ferryman, a negro. threw
the chain holding the fiat around the
peg and stood holding the end of the
chain told Mr.. Lucas to drive out.
Just as the front wheels of the car
were off the fat the fiat pushed back
when the chain slipped off the peg.
leaving the front OF the automobile on
the bank with the rear wheels on the
fiat. The fiat then began going back
in the river and Mr.. Lucas seeing his
predicament undertook to get of be-
fore 1t could get away from the bank,
but the front wheels OF his car would
not go up the hill while the rear
wheels were pushing the fiat back
into the water and at the same time
did not get nearer the bank. In a
few seconds the fiat had been pushed
away and the rear end of the car had
plunged into the river. In the next
instant the whole car and occupants
were going down into water about so
feet deep. Mr.. Lucas grabbed the
baby and swan to shore and imme-
diately plunged into the river and
brought Mrs. Lucas safely ashore al
though she had drifted a considerable
distance down the river. 1t is remark
able that they escaped fore the top was
up on the automobile and they were
almost pinned under the top and un-
der the water. The machine is still in
the river and 1t is stated that the
water at this point Is something like
80 feet deep.
