MAKERS OF MUSIC


u has been asserted that the FIRST mention Of
music is at tho creation of the world when, ac-
coTding to the Bible, the morning stars sang to-
gether for JOY. From that day down to the pres
ent, those who have made music have been hon.
ored and beloved.
When few weeks ago. Caruso lay upon his
bed facing death. people all over the world
watched for the bulletins which were issued by
his physicians and prayed that the singer might
recover and once again make music Tor the null
titHde.
And while We laud those who have given to
the world their masterpieces of music let us not
forgot those who. in another manner have put
music and song into the lives and hearts of 9TH
ers whose names are unknown and for whom
no monument ever will be raised
= There is the woman who is obliged to care for
her parents through years OF sickness and adj
versity, but through all the years is filed with
song and at the same time strikes chords of
happiness in the hearts of those near her
There is the invalid. suffering and chained
to her chair who maintains sweetness of char.
acter and serenity of spirit which fills each day
with brightness and song
And there is the from whom fate has
snatched all that is dear and seemingly worth
living for. who still carries On" with smile,
and gives to others the music which he himself
has been denied.

A VALUABLE DISTINCTION

The distinction of being a college town has a
value not measurable in coin Of the realm lust
what financial benefits Lakeland will derive from
Southern College is a matter of conjecture, but
the moral. spiritual and intellectual benefits will
be immense
A factory, it is sometimes said. Is worth much
to a city as a college. But there is differ
ence which must never be overlooked The child
reared in a factory town. when he goes away from
home is no better qualified to mix with his fellow
men, and hold his own in the battle of life, than if
the factory had not been there. But. whether he
attends not he not escape the influence of
the atmosphere Of college life. and its effect on him
is beneficial so long as he lives
Lakeland will probably never be a manufac-
turing center Nature never intended it as such.
Nor. perhaps, can it hope to be the first. or even
the second. commercial city in Florida But it
can be center Of far more Importance. if it will.
1t can be an intellectual capital. 1t can be the
capital city Of one of the worlds great religious
organizations 1t can be center of culture and

The college means opportunity. But, like all
opportunities, it must be recognized seized in time

(;3y George BinshAm.)

Sap Spradlen, who u short time ago
got mad and pulled himself and his
fiddle out of the Excelsior Fiddling
Rand, and who has since been making
his way alone through the realm of
music, stood back some distance the
other night and heard the Band play.
Then he sadly shook his head and re-
marked that the Band had been grad

PIE PRoFITEERING

The cost of living has been shrinking-and
we'll it might; il too high and still the prof.
teeTs, Tn thinking. are charging too much for
pie. We chase ourselves to eating places when
hunger in due season calls and there we sit and
feed our faces with soup and green's and cod fish
balls. The staple things bear modest prices the
cornbeef hash and garlic stew; the prunes and
shredded beans and rices the poorest man may
sit and chew But when we come to pie the
charges induce pious to swear, by Cleo
patra and her barges, that someone's rake-off is
unfair. They cut pie in fourteen pieces and
charge us fifteen cents slice. and we would
summon the policies in disgust at such
price pie brings in about two dollars and
that is going pretty swift what wonder that the
poet boilers, inquiring. WHITTIER do we drfft?'
Pie is tired natures sweet resterer our staff and
sodace till We die, and, oh, it makes us sore and
sorer, when profteers get rich in pie. Pie ban
tshes the widows sorrow, and it the orphans
tears will dry. and we should ostracise tomorrow
the men who overcharge for pie Far better
overcharge for chicken, for sardines packed in
olive oil; pie is the comfort of the stricken the
stay OF those who weep and toll.

A LAND OF HOMES

Practically all the descriptions Of Florida by
visiting members Of the National Editorial Asso-
eiation emphasized the evidences of interesting
home life visible in this state As ono of them
expressed it with apparent surprise. Florida is
land Of homes.
No higher compliment could be paid to any
country. The final test of community is not the
number OF its industries. the amount Of its wealth
the volume of its business. but the percentage Of
its population residing in good homes
BY good homes. however. more IS meant than
merely comfortable buildings with attractive sur
roundings. These are essential. but to them must
be added sufficient and not 100 strenuous means
Of livelihood; leisure for enjoyment. pleasant fam
lily relations. good health. and ccnsenial neghbors
A home can be spoiled in many ways. both from
within and without. There are places where
true home would be an impossibifty The Amer
key. for instance, nor in Africa. nor China. Nor
could it be realized, at this time. in England. or
France, or Germany. where the burden Of taxa
ton is an incubus from which there is no escape
Good government. federal. state and local, must
all combine; good health conditions. good moral
influences, facilities for varied enioyments. ac-
feasibility to centers Of population and markets
all these and hundred other things must combine
to realize the home IDEAL

LAUNDERING EINSTEIN

Professor Albert Einstem is visiting the Unit
cd States where he is doubtless interested in the
newspaper discussion Of his theory of RELATIVELY.
If he reads Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent
he has learned ere this that he plagiarist while
it his clipping bureau is in working order he has
discovered that one of the St. Petersburg. Fla,
papers considers his theory old stuff which every
body knew before.
1t is possible that both these contentious are
mcasurably true, without detractng materially from
the value of his discovery. Nearly every great
forward step is taken by more than one person
at time. Every great invention is simply new
application of old stuff
1t Is perfectly true that for ages the educated
world has known, for example. that there are no
straight lines. that the laws of nature are only
approximately accurate in their operation, and
that no science has been able to establish its data
with absolute precision. But nobody has known
Just what to do with this information.
Einstein takes it, ponders over it, systematizes
H. and reduces it to orderly theory, which pro-
duces startling results when brought to bear upon
the various domains of science
For instance, it nuli6es the law OF gravitation
1t abollshes all we thought we knew about the
laws of light. 1t breaks down our distinctions
between ''ponderable' and ''imponderable' mat
ter-between. say, atmosphere and the ether 1t
loots the whole field of physics
1t leaves us about where we were twenty-five
hundred years ago when ancient philosophers were
