WHEN A "FEULER" NEEDS A
FRIEND

The youngsters have kick coming
on the ten per cent tax levied on ath-
letic goods. OF course the members
of congress forgot about the time when
they were kids and saved up their
pennies for ball. bat and glove. They
forgot the thrill of the first uniform
when the West Square nine" or the
River Reds" blossomed out in the
early summer. They didn't intend to
hit the youngsters such a whack, but
they surely did it, They meant to
assess the 'higher-ups"; they meant
to reap a revenue from tarpon lines,
damascene shotguns, league balls, etc,
but the truth of the matter is that the
bulk of the tax burden fell on Buck
and 'BilI' and Fatty"
Statistics show that seventy per cent
of the sporting goods bought in the
United States are purchased by boys
less than eighteen years old. high
school age and downwards. About half
of one per cent goes to professional
baseball teams and a big quantity OF
the rest to chronically hard-up college
and sand-lot teams. The wealthy
though individual purchases are large
buy next to nothing.

"Oh-h!" Mrs. Durkee gave a little

And indeed the hat was about the
prettiest thing in millinery I had ever
seen. 1t was of the sailor shape which
is most becoming to me, and, while
its crown was of a fine blue straw, its
brim was of the soft chiffon which
makes modern summer hats so dainty
and so perishable It's only trimming

The girl reluctantly put her hands

I hoped she would never know how
her words cut me, but they had no
effect upon my determination not to

MISERABLE PLACE FOR AMER
ICAN EMBASSY

Refusal of the state department at
Washington to authorize sufficient
funds to lease new embassy headquar-
tiers at Buenos Aires, suitable to the
dignity of the United States, in the
opinion of Frederic Jesup Stimson, re-
Gently retired ambassador, has forced
the American embassy to take quarters
in a building whose ground floor is
occupied by mattress factory, a car
penter shop and a ladies' tailoring
establishment.
The embassy was obliged to give up
the building which has been the office
of American diplomatic representa-
tives for the past IL years owing to
the desire of the owner to occupy it
himself This was a two-s story resi-
dence of pleasing exterior, facing the
Plaza San Martin and although far
from pretentious, as compared with the
legations of most other countries was
well arranged, we'll appointed and en-

pesos a month, or a little over 5000 and
I this figure, on account of the friend

went soaring during the war.
When it became necessary to give
the place up. neither Mr.. Stimson nor
Francis White, now charge d affaires
could find a building comparable to
| it for less than 1900 pesos a month
The state department set a limit OF
$50 pesos and now strangers looking
for the American embassy find a build

entrance is f1anked on one side by a
window exhibit of gaudy colored mat
tresses and on the other by ladies
dress forms.

waiting room, which in winter is heat
ed by an oil stove. There are ter
other rooms which visitors agree are
shabbily decorated and with the ex'
ception of two with fireplaces, they
have no heating apparatus.

Only one other nation has an EN-
bassy in Argentina and that is Spain
which will soon house it's ambassado
in a palace costing nearly two million

handsomely appointed, occupied by tn
legation of Cuba.

PRESS COMMENT
The American Legion Honors

The American Legion yesterday
gave a practical illustration of it's be-
lief in the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhood of God. 1t turned out in full
regalia to do the last honors to the
memory of two soldiers, one of whom
gave his life for his country on tho
sodden fields of France, while the 9TH
err passed over at Fort Dade never
having been overseas at all. and-hav-
Ing been in the service less than year.
But the legion, actuated by a broad
catholic spirit, made no distinction in
the two cases, although the order was
founded by veterans and for veterans,
Both of these two dead heroes had
worn the livery of the service; one
had met his death facing German bull
let's and poison gases; the other met
death in more prosaic manner, but he
was as presumably as ready to give his
life as any of the $4,000 heroes whose
bones are moldering away in French
soil, had duty called him in that di-
rection. The legion was in no way
bound, either by it's constitution. or
by laws, to do him honor. He was not
a member of the legion, had never
been overseas, and took no part In the
late war, but he was a soldier, oath
bound to protect and defend the flag
with his life if necessary, and the ie-
gion in broad spirit of cathoiicity,
swept aside all technicalities and ac-
corded him full military honors. OF
such stuff are heroes made. All honor
to the American legion for its broad
minded and charitable action.-Tampa

Quartet with American concert goers
is unanswerable testimony to the uni
versal love for the best music. For
it takes the most refined taste to ap-
preciate chamber music.
Whatever may be the opinion Of the
individual regarding the reinstatement
of the German language in concerts
and opera, it is rapidly becoming
again used. The Chicago Opera com
pany is planning to give Wagner in
German next winter, and rumor is
rife that whatever reYivals of Ger
man opera are made at the Metro
politan will be in the original language.
4 few recital singers have already
ventured to give the Lieder in Ger
man. All of which is arousing much
comment, for and against. There is
now little prejudice against German
music, but in some circles there is
much against the language.

the way 1t strikes the youngsters. It
is a queer tax, and about the first tax
on children ever levied in this country.
Athletic, outdoor sports of every
kind are the salvation of the youth of
our land. This country should make

form. The younger generation should
have a chance to play for the players

morrow.
Some of the athletic goods purchased
by the wealthy classes may be sub
ject to taxation. But a ten per cent

into detail is unjust, and should be re-
pealed to give the young people the
necessary physical recreation to keep
them strong and well.-Des Moines

THE STATE FAIR

The Florida State Fair and Expo
sition, which not only draws thousands
Of visitors to the metropolis of Florida
every year from all over Florida, but
fom Southern Georgia and Alabama,
will be held one week earlier this year
in Jacksonville. The dates are No
vember II to 10, inclusive.
AS usual, reduced round trip rates
both by rail and water, will be in eff
feet throughout the fair week. Eff
forts are being made, according to
General Manager B. X. Hanafourde, to
have lower fare than the customary
one fare plus one-third for the round
trip, and if the association is success
full in this, even larger crowds than
ever are expected to flock to Jackson
vile for the big gala week.
With the Johnny J. Jones EXPOSE
ton booked for the amusement end
of the fair, the association is satisfied
that nothing will be lacking for the
entertainment of it's guests. The big
carnival midway viii be situated this
year just west of the fair grounds
proper and the grounds formerly used
for this purpose will be turned into
a parking field for automobiles.
Present indications point to the
largest agricultural exhibit ever held,
Mr.. Hanafourde said. A good per-
centage of the space has already been
let. Twenty Florida counties en-
tered exhibits last year, but this num-
Der will be exceeded this year. Coun-
ties that have not yet made arrange
ments for space will have to hurry.
Every other department of the fair.
including livestock and poultry, will
be on a much larger scale than in the
past.

Florida Not Guilty.

Florida Not Guilty.
w. A. McRae, commissioner of ag-
iiculture for Florida, enters for the
state of Florida plea of not guilty
to the indictment found against the
south with reference to the prevalence
of pelIagra by Washington authorities.
Commissioner McRae, in writing to
the Herald, says
Il enter the plea of not guilty for
Florida in the charge that the south
is threatened with famine and plague.
Florida has never known a bread
line or starving period She knows
none now.

Der of cases of pe1lagra in some Of the
southern states it is to be deplored,
but states that do not have it should
not be loosely classed with those that

pellagra is correct-that it is induced
by the per<cstent use of an unbalanced
diet-then there is least excuse for II

Helping the Party.
The Times is a democratic newspa-
per. 1t has not wayered in the faith
despite the recent setback and de-
feat. For that reason it believes in aid
ing it's party when that party needs
help. Just now an appeal is being
sent out from national headquarters
for financial aid in furthering the
party aims. A bulletin from headquar-
ters reads:
The democratic national committee
has inaugurated what is known as
the preparedness campaign 1924
and invites the cooperation of demo-
Gratis throughout the nation. The
measure of success of the campaign
will depend upon the response it re-
cefves in the way of financial contri-
buttons from the rank and file of the
party.
The democratic national committee
wishes every democrat in the country,
men and women, to have and feel an
interest in the campaign to restore our
party to power because the committee
Is working in the interest of the party
as whole and for the general good
of the country.
To carry on its preparedness cam
paign effectively the national commit
tee must have. adequate funds. 1t
cannot appeal to the interests enjoy
ing special privileges, as the repub
hcans do; it cannot ask a few demo-
Gratis of large means to bear more
than their fair proportion of expense;
it must therefore make it's appeal di-
rect to the great body of democrats
who make up the party, who give it
it's victories and control it's destiny.
You are one of that great body of
democrats. 1t is your party as much
as the party of any other democrat,
rich or poor OF whatever station of
life.
1t is not necessary to remind demo-
Gratis of their duty to their party or
their country. 1t is only necessary on
occasions to point out the ways and
means by which they can perform that
duty.
Whatever contributions you are
willing to make to the democratic pre-
paredness campaign, 1924, will be
of double value if made now, because
the great opportunity OF me party IS

party is making a failure all along the
