The Pensacola Tennis Club, organized less than six
weeks ago. with the assistance OF the city commits
soners. has placed two courts the East Hill play
ground in readiness for the game which promises to
be more popular than this summer as the tennis
club contemplates the building OF other courts
The city has at its disposal small fund for the
Improvement of the public courts and the members
OF the Pensacola Tennis Club have assured that
as interest Justlfies assistance will be rendered in
placing the courts in several sections of the city,
On Wednesday evening meeting of the tennis
club will be held at the Army and Navy Club build
ing and The Journal has been asked to urge that
any persons interested attend the meeting, the an
nouncement OF which is carried in another column
The movement to place tennis courts at the dis
posa OF the public is in line with the summer recre
atonal activities of other cities which carry on these
outdoor diversions in connection with their parks
and public Fairgrounds.
When one speaks of Chicago one is apt to think
first Of the Loop District Of the stock yards but to
some Of US the public parks and the many delight

preston. which will always place Chicago in the gal
lery of pleasant places.
The people of Chicago take greater pride In their
wonderful parkway system and splendid public play
grounds than they do. perhaps. In any other one
thing. These Fairgrounds have made Chicago famed
the world over and to visit that city in June to

TAKING TOLL OF THE TRAVELLER.

Passports to leave ones own countryl
Fifteen months after the armistice has been signed
and an American citizen still has to pay fee to
travell
Worse than that there is under consideration a
scheme to increase this fee four hundred per cent
from two to ten dollars
Ten dollars is to be the cost to American for the
privilege of going beyond the three-mile limit of
travelling for business. for pleasure for health
simultaneously with the announcement from the
representatives Of foreign governments that their
countries are prepared to relax passport restrictions
upon tourist travel, comes the report from Wash
ington that our own legislators are considering ex-
acty the reverse Instead of encouraging the
resumption of foreign trave-they are going to do
their best to discourage it. Save our friends

To the Public:
The people of Pensacola are noted
for their bigness of heart in great
charities, and no appeal for a worthy
cause has ever gone unheeded. To
inform the public of the especial need
Is sufficient to bring desired results.
On October i. 1919. a movement was
inaugurated at the San Carlos hotel
to plan for the raising of funds neces-
sary to build a new home for the
aged, the present home being made
ouate In every way. Each church was
represented by the president OF its
home mission society, and DIR. LOUIS
DEM. Blocker represented the business
men of our city. In December. under
DIR. Blocker's direction, a drive ex-
tending through one week was made,
but as it was nearly Christmas, we
failed to secure a sufficient amount
to start this work.

THE ROTARY SPIRIT.

The Rotary Club which has been holding its an
nual meeting in Tampa. has had OF the most in
teresting valuable sessions enjoyed by that
association the principles OF which lend themselves
to the up building of the community and the nation
The conference Of the eighth district brought to-
gether many clubs from Alabama. Georgia. Florida
and Cuba. with clubs represented from Portland Ore
gon; Johnstown Pa; Sharon. Pa; Memphis, Tenn;
Kalamazoo Mich; Grand Rapids, Mich. Dubuque
Iowa; Sheridan, Wyo.; Richmond, Va; Boston
Mass; Asheville N. c.; Minneapolis. MINI.
Among the interesting and inspirational talks de-
livered at the conference of President
Estates Snedecor of the International Rotary Asso-
ciation who. among other things, said:
No man, liveth to himself alone mans
business or profession is his greatest oppor-
tunity to society. Rotary dignifies
mans occupation his distinct opportunity
to serve man is just truly himself in
business as he is in his home, in his church
in his play. His business should be the
true expression of his highest ideals. else he
cannot love his business. 1t is the love that
we release in our work that counts-not the
money we make
The success OF the present economic order
depends ultimately upon the solution Of
poyer and employee. Every business small
or large must recognize the human factor.
The employer must make personal contact
the basis of his system OF organization. The
finest contribution a Rotarian today
make toward the solution of the present in
dustrial unrest is TO work out in his own
business equitable and just ways Of securing
the interest and loyalty of his employees.
Men have become unreasonable through self
ish policies Of high finance.
Every business is part Of the social
order and such he certain duties OF
citizenship 1t is within the realm of this
simple truth that Rotary finds opportunities
for its largest and most varied expression
Nothing could be truer finer than these words
which should make their appeal to every man OF
woman who believes that there is something more tt
life, even business life. than mere money getting
and that the only way to make the world better
place in which to live is for each one of us to strive
to do our own part in such way to make life
little brighter and better right here in our own vi
cinty.
