Celebration of AssOcia-

Exhibition Doors Opened

Palace TO Reach 500, 900

DR.. Stephen Smith, ninety mine years
old. was the honor guest last night at
the semi-centennial celebration Of the
American Public Health Association,
which he founded in 1871. y
Officials concerned with public health
from foreign countries and delegates
from all parts of the United States, as
we'll as the commissioners Of New York
City and State, gave "The Father of
Public Health" stirring welcome at
the first general session of the con-
vention at the Hotel Astor. To-mor-
row evening there will be a dinner in
his honor, at which gold medal com
memorating his service to the public
good will be presented to him.
DR.. Smith is the proof of his own
rules of >health. He lives on bread
and milk and walks one mile every
day.
He addressed the convention in a
powerful voice that penetrated to the
remotest part of the hall. He stood
erect and used frequent gestures. In
part he said:

board has re-employed some. of the
striking workers. On Saturday the
iirst evidences of a marked break were
discernible, and to-day this was furth-
eer manifested by the return of num-
Der of workers to their former iobs.v
After giving figures showing large
increases in such re-employment on
the part Of the Borden, Sheffield and
Empire State concerns, as we'll as the
attainment of greater distribution
by all the conference board companies.
the statement concludes:
"a committee of distributors con-
ferred with Chief Police "~lnspector
Lahey to-day on plans for further pros
lection of wagons. The protection has
been thoroughly adequate. In view of
the garment strike the companies will
make every effort to avoid duplication
of service and in other ways will con-
serve in order to cut down the need for
police. This will, however, not inter
fcre with the rapid movement toward
normal deliveries"
Hearing on the application of the
companies to make permanent the tenn
porary injunction restraining the
strikers from interfering with milk de-
liveries in greater New York was post
poned to Wednesday in Kings County
Supreme Court yesterday. A similar
hearing, applying to New Jersey, will be
held to-day before Vice Chancellor

the milk workers strike last night as
a means to induce the companies to
abandon their open shop plans and re-

an end of the controversy.
While refusing to reveal their plans
in detail, the union heads declared
they ."have plenty Of support for them,

whether they intended to organize

whether their efforts would be direct

Are any city officials among the

otherwise?" he was asked.

Both Pivnik and Dominick Lucchese,
secretary of the union, denied reports
received by several of the newspapers
to the effect that "the International

TAXING THE KIDS.

In looking up war tax statistics it
was discovered that last year a little
less than $3,000,000 were paid in as
luxury tax on athletic goods.
That indicated about 10000, 900
worth of taxable athletic goods dis
tributed in this country. as the exports
icant sum, considering the importance
of physician recreation.
During a similar period the country
consumed about s450,000,000 worth of
candy and smoked nine billions of CT
gars and fifty billions of cigarettes.
The joker. however, comes in the
application of the luxury tax to differ
ent items. Athletic goods pay the high
est. Chewing gum, patent medicines,
pills, powders. candy, jewelry, precious
stones and such are assessed at half
or less.
We have beeen told on good author
ity that the underlying reason for the
acceptance by Judge Lands of his
baseball job was on account of the kids
of the country. He wants these to have
free hand in recreation. He believes
that getting the kids into games is one
of the most important things. He fig
ured, we have been told, that in the
commanding position of baseball aroi-
traitor his influence in their behalf
would be greatly enhanced and it was
for them that he took the risk of being
criticized for holding two positions
The judge, if that is his plan, never
did greater thing for the country.
Then, If he could make his counsel and
influence felt so that congress would
repeal that obviously unjust tax, he
would render a service to the children
that no amount of salary ever could
make up.

REASON"

The lion cub was taught by his
mother the humiliating lesson that, IN
spite of his greater strength, he must
never venture an encounter with a
man. But when he grew older. in his
conceit he fancied that he could ne
glect his mothers lesson, and he set
out to find a man. First he came upon
an OK.
Are you a MANI" he asked.
God Forbid" answered the OK. "A
man is terrible creature. He makes
slaves of us oxen, fastening us to
plows, which we have to pull until we
are tired to death. When we are old
and can work no more, he kills US and
eats our flesh and our skin he makes
into shoes for his own feet. Keep clear
of men!" the OK ended solemnly
Impressed, but unconvinced, the lion
continued his way until he saw a
camel big, long-legged, strong.
Are you a man2" he questioned.
II MANI" snorted the camel "Way,
/ am slave to a man. They catch us,
these men, pierce our noses, put rings
them, tie ropes to the rings mad lead
us wherever they will. And on or
backs they put great loads. which we
must carry. Don't say man to mel"
Stin undiscouraged, the lion went
on and soon met an elephant noun
tain in size, with huge tusks-tied 10
stake.
Good morning. my lord" he said
Are you a MANI"
''Hurroo!" trumpetted the elephant.
"A man? No! But a man is my mas
ter, and he has tied me to this post
Men are cruel brutes. They mount US,
dozen of them at time. and drive
US by sticking a sharp spike in our
heads. Don't go near a man; he will
make mincemeat of a little creature
like YOU"

man, "for 1 have power that you

he had his ak on his shoulder. With a
few blows he split stout sapIing and
then made a wedge and drove it into
the cleft.

Kuklux Klan which 1 am told is a
chartered institution. Nevertheless, /
dare say that no law abiding citizen
is going to be disturbed. Personally
I have no qualms about the depreda-

come necessary occasionally in many
communities in our country for the
law abiding to organize vigilance com
mittees or law and order leagues
where officers become careless, or as
has been true In some towns where
the officers wink at vice and even
take toll of vice dens. 1t is always
regrettable when the people of any
town or community have to take the
law into their own hands, but in these
days of mafeasance and malpractice
it seems sometimes to become a neces-
sity. However, the good and law abid-
ing citizens of Pensacola and Escam-
bia county are not alarmed about be-
ing disturbed in their honest and hon
orable pursuits.
