MACKINAC TO MIAMI

Mr.. V. B. L. Robinson, Chattanooga,
Tenn, secretary of the Dixie Highway
Association, was in Ocala last weeh,
and stated that the highway would be
opened through the mountains of Ten
nessee by September of this year.
This will open up the Dixie Highway
from the Straits of Mackinac to Mi
ami, and it is we'll for US to remember
what this is going TO mean to Florida.
1t means that Florida is 1000 miles
nearer the center of population of the
United States than California, is to be
fed by an artery of motor travel over
1900 miles in length and serving a
population of over forty million peo-
pie.
The Dixie Highway serves the states
of Michigan, Indiana. Illinois, Ohio,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and
Florida, and, of course, the states ad-
joining these When it is remembered
there are over six million automobiles
now in the United States, the fact that
the Dixie Highway traverses Florida
provides food for thought.
Thousands of motorists are now
coming into Florida the year round in
spite of the incompleted state of the
Dixie Highway. Think of the mum,
bers that will motor down to escape
the sharp blasts of winter when tn,
highway is completed and in gooc
shape.
1t is scarcely possible to over
estimate what the Dixie Highwa!
means to Florida. Persons coming
into the state by automobile will spenC
not less than five dollars a day on thu
average. Think what this means
Fifty thousand motorists, for ex
ample, would spend $250,000 in on,
day, and most of them spend weeks il
the state.

SUNLIGHT"

Just a CLEAN of sunlight
From the clouds above,
What a happy thought
Can be brought by love.
Just thought of kindness
To the weak and old,
Just thought to others
Will bring them to the fold.
Just be kind and faithful,
And cheer up the sad,
Show them that you have sunshine,
That brought the joy they had.
Be to them a guide,
Every night and day;
Tell them to have sunshine
AS they go along life's way.
While the foregoing verses are not
touched with the fire of great genius,
they prove that the mind which guided
the hand that penned them-has been
filled with the less brilliant but more
serviceable glow of love and services
They were written by Annie Crosby,
girl who for a number of months
was a pupil at the industrial school.
Annie was little girl born and raised
in a central western state-Indiana,
we think. Little more than a child.
her patriotism and love for the uni
form overcame her discretion and she
left home and came with some of her
soldier friends to Camp Johnston.
They were transferred TO another
camp, preparatory to going to France,
and Annie was unable to go with them.
She secured a situation in Jackson
vile, and soon after met young man,
shipyard worker, from Brunswick,
Ga. After a brief courtship, they
were married, but soon after the
young man, or rather boy, had to go
back to Georgia and leave his young
wife to shift for herself. She was
almost destitute when she came to
the attention of Jesse Lanier, proba-
ton officer, and as she lacked several
months of being too old to go t.
school, he obtained admission for her
to the institution here. She soon made
friends with the other girls, and short
~ after her husband, having found a
good position at Brunswick, sent foA
her to come to him. But having en-
tered the school, she had to remain fol-
some months at least. Two or three
times her husband came from Bruins
wick to see her, and their little 70.
nance was very interesting and won
them the entire sympathy of then
friends. Only a boy and girl, they
would on the occasion of these short
visits sit and talk to each other by the
hour in the parlor or on the piazza
of the school, utterly oblivious to eve.
rybody else. but the teachers anc
girls took care they were not inter,
rupted. Their waiting time ended last
week, and the boy husband took his
girl wife away to their Georgia home
Annie joined the Methodist church
while here, and carried away with hel
the sincere good will of it's members
as well as that of the teachers anC
scholars at the school and many other

In consequence of the suggestion
that America take Bermuda and the
British West Indies in payment of the
deft owed the United States by Great
Britain, a number of indignation
meetings have been held in England
and the colonies referred to. The
British and their dependents might
spare their Indignation. The sugges-
ton was originally made by British
statesman and endorsed by William 6.
McAdoo, an American private citizen,
who had no authority to speak for
anybody but himself. The United
States doesn't want Bermuda and
wouldn't have the British West Indies
as a gift.

st. Patrick's Day did not attract
anywhere the amount of attention in
America this year that it usually re-
ceives. The fact that canon de Val
era, Mayor Hylan. Justice Cohalan,
Bourke Cochran and a lot of other
ur-fushers, who always keep their
own hides out of danger, have been
trying to involve America in war with
Great Britain, has considerably chilled
the sympathy which America has
heretofore had with Ireland.

GLENDINNING'S RISE ON STAGE.

The New York playgoers memory is
so sorely taxed-what with the city's
fifty odd theatres and new productions
being made every week-that It is not
surprising II he should have forgotten
that Ernest Glendinning. who plays the
hero IN Little Old New York" at the
Plymouth Theatre, once appeared in a
Winter Garden production and sang and
danced opposite Miss Gaby Deslys.
Mr.. Glendinning's first role was in
Mice and Men," IN which Miss Annie
Russell was the star. He had one line
THE DEVILS in the cards tonight r.
and for reading this and helping to fill
in the stage picture he received 81
week. After the engagement with Miss
RUSSELL he had successfully bits with
John Drew, Mrs Patrick Campbell and
other stars. He then went to San Fran
cisco TO become Juvenile with the AL
cazar stock company.
When Mr.. Glendinning returned East
he called at Mr.. Belasco's office and
was engaged for the Beasco production
of "Just Wife" His next appearance
was the leading role in Baby Nine"
After the years run OF the play the
Winter Garden opportunity appeared
and IL was embraced because the young
man believed Il would add something OF
value to the stock Of experience he was
accommodating.
There followed other engagements
notable among which were those In
"Prunella" and Experience Last sea-
son Mr.. Glendlnning was with Miss
Billie Burke In "Cesers Wife, And
now he Is appearing IN such illustrious
stage company as John Jacob Aston
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Washington Irving
and other historical personages with
which Rida johnson Young has peopled
her comedy of New York as 1t was
century ago.

FOIL FOR THE COMEDIAN.

There arc certain formulas usually
followed 10 provoke mirth, and while the
words may be varied the methods sell
dom are. In this work there are usually
two principals--the comedian whose ac-
tion excites the mirth Of the audience
and the straight man who gives to
him the cues for the line or action
meant 10 be laughable. Most of the
glory as we'll as the laughter IL gar
nered by the man who Is the comedian
and his comWnion is usually overlooked
and given sHrcely any more consider
alton than TIE scenery or the properties
on the stage. As matter OF fact the
straight" man Is just as essential to
the proper combustion of laughter as
the comedian.
George lie Marie. whose broadway
Brevities 1929" is now at the Winter
Garden Is one OF the most adept
straight" men on tho stage. With Bert
williams and Eddie Cantor he has
helped 70 win laughter from huge audi
ences His is the work which points the
jokes In order that the fun may not
miss fire. But his satisfaction must be
in the work itself, for the applause and
laughter go to his companion.
