LONDON WRESTLES
WITH TRAFFIC PROBLEM

London, April 23.-London's traffic
problem, which it if any thing more
serious than that of New York. has
been made difficult" is is announced
by a parliamentary committee of in
vestigation, by the eight-hour day.
The committee of which Kennedy
Jones. member of parliament, is the
chairman. has been considering the
subject for some time. Traffic con-
gestion is severest. the committee
found. between the hours of 1880 and
600 n. m. and and p. m. 1t
reached its maximum between the
latter hours. and, the committee SAYS
little or no relief can be looked for
in the near future from any increase
of the transport facilities during these
hours"

by the general adoption of the eight
hour day, the committee expressed the
opinion that ''if certain allied busi-
nesses could arrange for the majority
Of their employees to leave their work
between I and 4:45 p. m, instead of
at p. m, or later, appraciable bene-
fit would result" 1t appeals TO busi-
ness houses to cooperate in this di-
rection and asks shoppers to do as
much OF theS shopping as they can
manage to do between 10 a. m. and
~. m.

FLORIDA AND INDUSTRY.

| II the reader ever had the impress
sion that Florida is merely a play
Iground for tourists, instead of a great
| big market for practically every neces-
ity and luxury. let that impression be
eradicated.
| While there is an enormous inflow Of
money from millions of tourists, Flor
Iida's agricultural and other cash
lyielding resources have given the state
a buying power to be reckoned with.
| Florida produces in the way OF citrus
| fruits, vegetables, corn, cotton and
| other field products, in excess of more
| than $50 millions annually, to say moth
/ ing of live stock raising.
| Florida ranks high in the production
of turpentine, rosin and lumber, reach
Ing some 25 million dollars annually.
| Florida is putting millions into the
| building of good roads and has done
more in the building of highways per
capita than any other state in the
/ south.
More Havana cigars are made in
Florida than in the city of Havana
| The city Of Tampa turns out some 500
lmillions annually.
| Another great source Of revenue is
the fishing industry which runs UP
into several million dollars annually
The state is also rich in fuller's earth,
ikaolin and surpasses any district in
the world in the mining of phosphate
rock for fertilizer.
The output of Florida's manufac-
turing plants reach more than loo
million dollars annually.

against ESQ million for 1918, is one OF

and foreign shipping port.
| Tampa is noted for its great cigar
manufacturing shipbuilding and other
Industries. It is also the largest phos-
Iphate shipping port in the world. and
lseventh in the United States custom
collections.
Pensacola is a city OF great buying
ipower because of it's numerous ship
building yards, fish and fertilizer in

RED CROSS HAS
LONG PROGRAM
PLANS ARE BEING MADE TO cUL-
TIVATE DESIRES TO IMPROVE
SHOWN BY MANY SOUTHERN
CITIES.

Atlanta, April 2S. - Southern cities
waxing prosperous. are showing a more
decided interest in their own futures
and towns, all of them growing and
than ever before in their history, ac-
cording to officials at southern divis-
ion headquarters of the American Red
Cross.
Included in the~Reace-t time program
of the Red Cross is a plan for COM
munity studies whereby the people of
any town or county, assisted by the
Red Cross, can make a thorough ex-
animation of their resources and their
needs and, based on this survey, map
out definite courses to pursue for their
Improvement along educational. physi-
cal, recreationa1. social and spiritual
lines. 1t is much the same idea, save
that it is smaller and simpler, which
such big cities as Cleveland, Pitts
burgh, Atlanta and others have car
ried out with city planning commits
sions.
AS proof of the ambition of southern
communities to better themselves, Red
Cross officials point out that within
the last few months workers from
headquarters have assisted eight towns
and counties to make these studies,
while requests for assistance have been
received from a score of others where
there are Red Cross chapters. Where
the community studies We're made, de-
finite plans for future progress Were
mapped out and in several instances
trained workers were retained TO sup
ervise the launching and operation of
such plans.

ways compiled with and religious zeal
marks the efforts of the encourage to
please him. His uniform is always

place is reserved with much attention

by the men and women who follow
him. When he gives a concert in the

funds with which to hold good teach
ers in their schools.
The tax of Z mills for the schools OF
New Orleans provides an income by
which proper buildings can be pro-
vided and adequate salaries paid the
teachers.
The permitted increase OF speclai
maintenance taxes does not provide
additional school money for the coun-
try parishes to which the increase ap-
plies, but allows the voters in q dis.
trict or parish to raise the limit OF
special maintenance taxes to 8 mills,

Utah Doubles Contribution
An amendment adopted to the con-
stitution of the state of Utah, pro-
vides for state school tax which
tends to equalize the burden OF school
support so that a poor school district
may be able to give its children edu-
cational advantages as good as those
afforded in more prosperous dis.
trict. The states contribution will
be nearly doubled.

BONES OF HISTORIC RACE
Anthropo'ositts intensely 'nterested IN
Discovery Of Indian Skeletons
in California.

New indications that California was
once inhabited by a race Of gigantlc
Indians was furnished when sewer Dig
gers on Ferry and Howard streets, IN
the heart of the business district OF
Martinez, CAL, uncovered an indian
burial ground, with skeletons meas
uring more than seven feet.
Several skulls and one well-pre-
served skeleton are to be given over
to the investigators of the anthro'
pology department of the University
Of California. The skulls and skele-
tons are declared to- be Of highly I'M
portant and scientific value.
Discovery of the burial ground mas
revived an old Indian legend that an
immense treasure of gold nuggets
was inferred with body OF q cnle1
of the ancient tribe of the giant In
dams. So convinced are the residents
in the truth of this legend that great
crowds have thronged around the
sewer diggers, largely hamperins
their activities, and more than q
score Of persons have applied to the
municipal authorities for positions on
the city's sewer-digglng crew.
According to the ancient lnolan
legend, the vast gold treasure was
buried in close proximity to where the
bones were recovered.
Eight years ago William Altman
curator of the museum in Golden
Gate park. San Francisco, declared
that skeletons unearthed near Con
cord were the most valuable contri-
buttons to the scientific investiga'
tons of the states prehistoric In
dams.

WESTERN ROADS, NEED
PUT AT $352,893,0OO
Samuel M. FELTON, Applies to Inter
state Commerce Commission,
Stating Present Conditions.

Additional revenue of S352s93.000.
to bring their net income up to 6
per cent on their property investment
of SS.963.sS3.00o. provided by the
transportation act. is needed by the
western roads. Samuel NJ. FELTON, Of
Chicago. chairman of the western
executive rate committee, yesterday
applied to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for rates which would
bring the revenue of the western
roads UP to enable them to earn the
federal guarantee.
To provide this sum freight rates
in the territory west of the Missis-
sippi must be increased "a per cent.
The commission had before 1t re-
quests from all trunk line railroads
for increased rates.
Mr.. FELTON, told the commission that
railroad facilities were not COM
mensurate fifth present demands.
He estimated the immediate needs
OF the railroads of the country for
new rolling stock at S610,000,000 and
said it would be difficult for them
to borrow money on their own credit
must also be expended for other new
equipment and for new construction
and in addition the western carriers
must refund about S430.0O0.0OO of ma
turing obligations this year and next.
Asserting that the net income of the
western carriers 1eIi from s4oU,ool,
900 in 1916 to 1851. 456, 900 in 1919, Mr..
FELTON, told the commission that a
recasting of the 1919 account to the
present cost of labor. coal and ma
terials reduced the current net basis
to s126.027.OOO. To raise this income
to 6 per cent on the property invest
ment will require, he estimated, an
increase of II per cent in all reve-
nues. Since there is no intention to
raise passenger tariffs the needed in
crease must be obtained by advanc-
ing freight rates "a per cent.
