ROTARIANS TALK
OVER BEST PLAN
TOPROMOTE CITY

what is Palatka's Greatest
Need" was the subject under dis.
cussion at yesterdays luncheon, Ro-
tartan Sam Browning being in charge
of the program, and every member
present giving, briefly, his views of
how best to promote the interests of
the city.
H. H. Van Horne, the latest addi-
ton to the club, was introduced and
when sentenced to sing a song put
all the Rotes in bad by starting the
Star Spangled Banner. All had to
stop eating and stand and join in
the singing, the volume and concor-
dance indicating that some of the 100
per cent. Americans have not yet
learned the words of the national an
them.
The keynote to the discussion on
the city's needs was Cooperation"
and the elimination of all factions,
insofar as possible. Several of the
speakers, however, took issue with
the intimations that Palatka was not
as united in its efforts as it might
be, Wayman Houston being especial
ly emphatic in stating that he found
more cooperation among the citizen
ship of Palatka than he finds in any
of the other twenty towns where his
company has interests.
President Rowton, speaking more
specifically, said that he believes that
if Palatka will take the initiative in
organizing a Florida Capital Reno
val Association it will mean great
things for the city. He referred to the
page advertisement which had been
inserted in several papers OF the
state, containing the map Of Florida
with Palatka prominently displayed,
and said he believed this one of the
best pieces of advertising Palatka
had ever received. Others present
voiced this belief, too, emphasizing
the necessity for exploiting Palatka's
advantages.
Community Service a Factor
Herbert Wilson said that he be-
lieved the thorough organization of
community service would do more
to weld the people together for pro-
gress than any any one other agency.
He said that one of the things which
is being accomplished, and which will
mean great deal for the city, is the
organization of a band.
Howell Davis said that Palatka had
never seemed as determined to CAPT
talize its advantages as now, citing
that few years ago it was practi-
cally impossible to get a committee
of three together, but that now COM
mitee meetings were usually attend
ed by 100 per cent. of the member
ship and that things that could not
have been done in Palatka five or six
years ago were easily disposed of
now. But we must not start too
many things at one time," he said.
Lets finish what we start before
we tackle new problems"
Sam Browning said that one of
the best ways to build up the COM
munity is the establishment of Gre
ditable churches and schools and
practically every speaker empha-
sized the necessity for advertising,
advertising in every possible way,
believing that the city has everything
necessary to make it the principal
and industrial city Of
the state.

estimated wealth of Great Britain is
placed at two hundred and thirty billion,
and increase of one hundred billion since
1914. This gain is due to the wealth OBJ
tanned through the acquisition of Mesopo-
tamia oil fields, the African territory taken
from Germany and the free field left to
Britain for the time being as the result
of Germany's elimination as a trade rival.
Likewise the wealth of France, estimated
at one hundred billion, has increased
thirty five billion since 1914. Italy and
Belgium are reported to have added one
third to their wealth and Japan about
fifty per cent.
On the other hand Germany's wealth
is said to be down from eighty-fve billion
to about twenty billion while Austria is
said to have dropped from forty billion to

CROSS CURRENTS

1t was the people of Holland who first
adopted the rooster as medium for the
weather vane, soon to be followed by Eng
land, because of the incident in which the
cock figured when the Apostle Peter denied
his Lord.
GAS changeable as weathercock," is
an old adage, which illustrates the swing
ing of the vane. But because the vane
may point to all four points of the wind
has changed that many times from its
original quarter.
A man raking up the leaves on lawn
rakes with the wind. He has the leaves
piled up and the wind is blowing steadily
from the North. Then there is a sudden
gust from the South, cross-current,
whirling eddy, and the leaves are blown
back over the lawn. But the man does
not begin to rake toward the North, for
the wind is still in that quarter. He
knows that the gust which drove the leaves
back was merely caprice of the breeze,
and so he still rakes them again with the
wind. 1t is only one of those happenings
which occur in the days work, and which
can be repaired by patient labor.
In the cross-currents of life the same
thing holds true. A man who has always
lived good, upright life may, in

MOTORS RUN ON MOLASSES

From the lowly and sticky molasses is
being produced "motor alcohol sub
stitute for gaoline. Discovered by J. P.
Foster, chemist of one of the big sugar
plantations on the Island of Maui, Ha-
waii, production within the next few
months will be sufficient to furnish fuel
for all cars on the islands should gaso-
line shortage occur. According to the first
reports of the new fuel brought to San
Francisco ''motor alcohol gives more
power, greater mileage, easier starting
and more freedom from carbon than gaso-
line. 1t can be used without an adjust
ment of the carburetor.
The new fuel is performing in auto
mobile, marine, stationary, truck and trac-
tor engines. In a 36-hour test made with
a 75-horse-power tractor the consumption
of "motor alcohol" was four gallons an
hour compared to four and half gallons
of gasoline in the same engine on the
same work. Examination of the cylinders
removed and the remainder so soft it could
be removed with the fingers.
Sugar plantations have been letting
their molasses run to waste or burning it
for the potash recovery. Nitrogen and
phosphoric acid are also valuable by-pro-
duction of the new fuel is found to be
more profitable than obtaining other by
products.
AT present there is enough molasses
available to produce 100000 gallons of
"motor alcohol"-enough to supply all
automobiles in Hawaii. Development of
this industry will release shipping space
formerly used for transporting gasoline
from the United States.-Ex.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

American Poet, Critic and Diplomat
Born February %, 1919, at Cambridge,

moment of moral or physical weakness,


give way to sudden temptation. A
cross-current has struck him and, for
time, faces him in the opposite direction
to that in which he has been travelling.
He may have thought too highly of his own
ability to resist temptation. He may not
have guarded his weak point as he should.
He may have been in boastful frame of
mind, which always proceeds fall. But
even though he fell, he should not be re-
paired, although it will take time and
patience and suffering.
Many people are apt to say, when man
or woman, who up to that time has lived
an exemplary life, makes a misstep, "Now
we see him in his true character; all that
has gone before was but masquerade"
Oh for little of that charity which
was extended to Peter when, for a
moment, he was swerved by cross-cur-
rent! Why try to tear down and destroy
a reputation which has been built up by
years of right living? How much better
it is to have sympathy for the one who
has been caught in the cross-current amid
the winds of life, and help him to steer
straight again.
Aviators will tell you that after climb
ing to great height and then flying with
the wind, they will suddenly encounter
cross-current of air, which causes them to
go tumbling from their course, sometimes
to their destruction. If they can recover
their equilibrium, they turn about and be-
gin the long, laborious climb to reach their
former height again.
If you have climbed to height of moral
attainment, if for years you have been a
respected member of the community, if
your face has always been set toward the
sun, and you have been caught. in cross
current, faced about the other way,
crushed to the earth, perhaps, and are sick
and bleeding, don't despair.
1t was probably your own fault that
you fell, and you deserved the punishment
that your act has caused you, but by your
own efforts you can rise again to the
heights you once attained. Yes, and you
can go to sublimer heights, if you so will
it. 1t will take time, the road will be full
of discouragements and temptations to give
up the fight, but you will win again if
you will only press on.
"One ship goes east, another west,
By the selfsame winds that blow;
'Tis the set of the sail, and not the gale
That determines the way they CO.
Like the winds of the sea are the ways
of fate,
AS we voyage along through life,
IT'S the set of the soul that decides the goal
And not the calm, or the strife"
