A Suggestion for Florida.

~ suggestion Tor FtOTtdas
A few years ago the Masons OF San
Luis alley in southern Colorado. de-
cided they wanted a recreation park OF
their own. They formed an assocla-
| ton. went up into the very heart OF
the Rockies, on the upper waters Oh
the Rio Grande, and purchased, for
few hundred dollars, the homestead
Of a sheep rancher, on which ne mao
failed to make living. It contained
thirty or forty acres Of comparatively
level land, while the residue OF the
quarter section stood on its edge.
Prospecting over 1t, they founo
spring, which the homesteader nao
overlooked, spouting out of the noun
tain side five hundred feet above the
level of the river. They built small
reservoir and piped this water down
into the valley, where they had erect
ed a rather flimsy lodge hall, a buiio-
ing for the Ladies Of the Eastern star
and a camp fire place, under smell
ter This constitutes practically the
sum total of their investment, PROBABLY
not $4,000 all told.
They laid out regular towns1te, on
flat lands, held the title, because I'M
der the Colorado law the association
was exempt from taxes, sold building
privileges-the equivalent OF q small
city lotto the members VINO pro-
ceeded at once, after their individual
taste, to erect summer cottages there
on.
The cottages run from two-room log
huts up to a six or ven-room house
with modern conveniences, occupied by
the keeper Of the park, who mas noth-
ing to do but fish. Members OF the
association either spend the weekend
in the park, or they make their home
in tents or cottages during the sum-
mer months, Masonic meetings occa-
sionally draw large crowds, but usual
ly, through the summer, there are no
more than can find pleasant recrea-
ton. 1t is only a few miles to market
and living expenses are cheap, While
the river, well stocked with three or
four varieties of trout, supplies a large
part of the cuisine.
There are a dozen organization in
this state which could carry this idea
into effect, varying it to- suit their
needs. There are scores of such or
CARNATIONS outside the state, which
could utilize similar plan in provid-
ing their winter residences here. No
place in America is superior to Flor
ida for outdoor life. And, while the
Rocky Mountain region is attractive
for only a few months each year, and
then rather on account of the scenery
than for anything there is to do. this
state invites to recreation the whole
year round.
A community mark confined to a
single organization, savors. perhaps, of
selfishness, but it guarantees con-
genial associations and provides the
best possible means of protecting
against extortion-or rather, giving
each one the maximum for the money.
There is'a park in this state owned by
the association of Womens clubs, and
we understand it is regarded as very
satisfactory. Why not others Lake

CHANCE AND SCIENCE.

The goddess chance is associated
usually with the gaming table. Luck
and science ordinarily are not team
mates, but, occasionally they work to-
gether.
The man who invented the automatic
mailer which nails the sides and bot
toms Of soap boxes with a marvellous
speed, perfected all the parts Of his de-
vice save one alone with the aid of
science. Science couldn't help take
nails from key and assert them with
their heads all up and their points
down ready to fed to his hammers.
Luck solved his problem. The nails
now are dumped helter-skelter into a
box and the box Is kept constantly
juggling. The nails. for no scientific
reason whatever and simply following
the haZy rules of chance, assert them
selves and slide prettily down an in
cline-heads up and point down
ready for use.
Milady, the long strings of beads
that make UP the portions Of your
handbag, exclusive of the design, were
strung by luck. It would take an end
less amount of handwork to lift each
bead separately and thread it on a
needle. Instead the bead stringer
pours a few thousand glass beads in
a little bowl set on a wheel that spins
rapidly. Then she holds her needle in
the mess and for no good reason, the
beads run up the needle quick as rats
into a hole.

The Cloister Vaults-Eduard Grutzner.

The Cloister Vaults-Eduard Grutzner.
Nowadays in the melancholy times
Of the nineteenth amendment; life is
lived in accordance with the law of
the land, and it is flatter than the
present brew of near beer! Today
those, who have glowing remem-
brances of past sherry cobblers and
mint-juleps, which put pep" into peo-
pie during the Victorian era, sigh be-
cause their span of life must end in
these sorry sober times, for when SO
much of life is dull and flat and dreary
then it is good to recall the jolly
paintings Of Ed Grutzner.
Such paintings as his, The Cloister
Vaults, and The Good Joke, bring back
the memory Of those laughter loving,
waggish years when Grutzner was SO
popular that on two continents his
pictures were purchased from the
easel. This painter was a great artist
and did many genre and Shakespeare
ian paintings; but his pictures Of his
early friends-those priests and monks
who dwelt in their monasteries near
his peasant home, are the masterpieces
that make him universally popular.
Take The Cloister Vaults. The scene
is depicted with a faithfulness to de-
tail that reminds one Of the init
mate knowledge Grutzner had of the
life of these good men.
Early in his own life his family in
far off Silesia dedicated him to the
priesthood; and it was one of these
good old priests, himself who out of
his slender income, provided for his
protege's early instruction in draw
ing. The memory of that generous old
friend influenced the artists whole
life; and it inspired the gentle humor
of his best paintings
In The Cloister Vaults fat and
genial monk as host is ministering to
the cheer of his three guests. 1t is
noon and two game -wardens with "a
travelling actor are enjoying the cool
shadows Of the cellar under the Clois-
tiers; where the autumn vintage, in
great tanks, is slowly mellowing into
that Tokey which made this river val
ley famous. The priest shakes ST
lencing finger at the chief warden who
is~about to burst into a rollocking
song. The actor has told a clever story
and the pleasure of it fingers on all
four faces. But the two faces that
hold the eye are that of the CONNIE
stout monk.
Both these portraits standout in bold
relief as the suns rays penetrating
through the small grated window, fall
full upon them. Was it only a for
tunate chance. or did the artist intend
to emphasize this strange coincidence?
Whether he did so, does not matter. 1t
is true just the same-that these ar
lists, the actors who earn their living
entertaining the public, are always
thin, sad men, while those souls who
withdraw from the world and try to
help their fellow men consecrating
themselves to the service of God are
usually as plump as partridges and
ever laughter living.
1t is a mistake to think that the
worlds reformers are lean and rugged

TREND OF CHILD LABOR.

| In 1920. according to figures, Just
made public by the U. S. department
of labor, through its children's bureau,
1914 children took out permits to go
| TO work In twelve representative
American cities. In 1913 the number
of children receiving permits In the
| Same cities was only 67,169, indicating
an increase Of over 10 per cent be-
tween 1918 and 1920. while the increase
| in population of these cities was esti-
mated to be IA per cent. These cities
are Baltimore. Bridgeport, Buffalo.
Manchester, Minneapolis, New Haven,
New Orleans, New York, Rochester, st.
Louis, Toledo and Waterbury. More
children have received permits in 1920
than in any other year since 1913, ex-
cept 1918 when war production was at
its height.
Nineteen eighteen was the peak
year in the steady rise Of child en-
ployment which began in 1915 as soon
as the effect Of foreign orders for war
goods made itself felt in this country.
OF 23 cities for which figures are
available for both years, all except one
showed an increase in 1915 over 1915,
ranging from Ia per cent, in the case
of Baltimore to 1877 per cent in the
case of Toledo. In 1917, 10, and in
1918, "a, out of % cities furnishing in
formation, reported increases over the
preceding year in the number Of chill
dren taking out employment certifi-
Gates. In 1919 a decrease occurred in
rs out Of 20 cities. In 1920, however,
increases were again recorded in 10
out of 20 cities.
The increase in 1920, said to be due
to the increased cost of living and to
labor shortage, was confined to the
first half or three-quarters of the
year. During~the last half Of the year,
only cities out Of the 26 or~which
figures could be secured showed an in
crease in the number of children re-
ceiving work permits.
The children's bureau calls atten-
ton to the fact that in some cities
better enforcement of the law requir-
ing employment certificates accounts
for increases in the number Of permits
issued, and states that while, in the
twelve cities for which figures are
available for the period 1913-1920, the
number of children taking out certifi-
Gates has increased in proportion to
the increase in population, it can not
be stated positively, any more than it
can be denied, that the number of
children actually going to work in 1920
increased in like proportion over the
number going to work in 1913"

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS !
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"What do you mean by saying that
YOU were the person who sometimes
helped to pull the great golden wagons
in the circus?" asked Mrs. Ostrich OF
Zippy Zebra.
Zippy answered proudly, why be-
cause 1 took turns with each of them.
One day I'd be at the head of the
brown ponies, the next with the milk
white ones, and the next day I'd help
the coal-black ones. Then I'd begin
all over again"
But why?" Mrs. Ostrich insisted
upon knowing.
"Because!" answered Zippy import
antly. Because I was considered the
most ornamental pony in the whole
circus.
"Hm!" said Mrs. Ostrich doubtfully.
Zippy got cross at that. Il was more
appreciated there than L am here" he
retorted. "Other folks think L am
handsome, even if you don't"
Zippy went on with his grazing and
thereafter kept up an indignant silence
without any chuckling. Pretty soon he
tapped his right eat. then his left ear,
then both of them. Not because they
were burning, but because he heard
ethlng-StepS-anu coming TlSnI
toward him! He looked up in startled
alarm. Mr.. and Mrs. Ostrich had heard
the steps also, but taking fright, hid
their silly old heads quickly in the
ground, thinking that they couldn't be
seen.
Flippety- Flap, Nancy and Nick were
close upon Zippy before he discov-
cred them, and being taken by surprise
he started to run. Then he stopped
and slowly came back. The fairyman's
enormous shoes had caught his eye,
also the Magic Green ones the twins
wore. Shoes m things like that made
him homesick every time.
care you circusfolks?" inquired
Zippy, timidly.
yes" NODDED Flippety- Flap, "but
not the way you mean. However, we
are going there now. Would you like
to come along"'
81 believe I should" nodded Zippy.
"Then come right along" beckoned
the fairyman.
When the ostriches pulled up their
heads, Zippy Zebra was gone, hide,
stripes n all.

face and the front of my gown drip

Dicky was trying to force a spoon
between my teeth when I opened my

brandy it contained triclzled down my
neck. I raised my hand to wipe it
away, and Dicky uttered a low Thank

of the back window of the Car and
she said, See, Grandpa, the Sunset is

us.
Now on that day she had learned
how far a Mile is, for I had showed
her certain Barns and Houses and
other things that We're a. Mile away.

Such as these could not throw a single

have it in their cheerful hearts to hurt

PRESS COMMENT
More Apartment Houses
Are Needed In Tampa, F.,

Scarcely a day passes but what the
Associated Press carries reports OF
new building projects at Miami and St
Petersburg. Most Of the proposed
structures are apartment houses. For
instance the Industrial Record this
week says plans for IA new apartment
houses in ST. Petersburg have been
announced during one week. Reports
of such projects from Tampa We're
conspicuous by their absence.
Tampa is building many new and
handsome structures in the down.
town section. but it Is to be regretted
that few apartment houses are in pro-
cess of construction. Two such build
ings are being erected in Hyde Park
both nearing completion, but no plans
for other structures have been an
nounced recently as far as we can
learn. 1t Is expected that the apart
ments now being completed in Hyde
Park will be filled easily by permanent
resident of Tampa, thus giving prac-
tically no additional rooms for tourists.
Tampa wants to have the best class
OF tourists here every winter. The
northern visitors are anxious to come
to Tampa, but they must have accom-
modations. Not every tourist is con-
tent to undergo the hardships of tent
life during his sojourn in Florida. The
weather. ones are accustomed to only
the best in their northern homes, and
they demand the same in Florida If
they cannot rent suitable apartments
in Tampa, they go on to ST. Petersburg
Miami and other cities which are max
ing arrangements to take care OF them
properly. Therefore. If Tampa expects
to be considered as q competitor with
these cities she must provide more
and better apartment houses.
The wide-awake business men of
Tampa who have already realized this
need-and also the opportunity for a
profitable investment to themselves
should be commended for their efforts
to develop Tampa as a tourist resort.
1t is hoped that others will follow in
their footsteps.-Tampa Times.
