LAKELAND'S WEATHER

Light showers began to fall on
Lakeland and vicinity during the
early morning, interpreted with
bursts of sunshine that made it
uncertain just what the weather
was going to be for the remainder
of the day. However, the. damp

titles and nothing is, said in to-
days official weather report from
Tampa about rain, so it may be
taken for granted that clear skies

 For sheer inborn 1rrepressible ge- nius Barrie goes ahead of Stevenson, perhaps through his interest for! the stage. Nations will admit some de- gree of humor to other nations, but they all unite unanimously in deny- ing humor to the Scotch.
 There is a good deal in the accu- sation. The Scotch are very literal yet there is a sheer naivete and a shrewdness that others do not have. Barrie was distinguished by a keen sense of humor. He took double view of the personalities of his coun- trymen. He sees with the keenest eye their foibles and displays them to the world. Not in 8 treacherous or disloyal sense but from the view point of the man who while having distance and get the view of the outsider. His humor is whimsical and e1fn, delicate as the travery of a spider web.

 Finally, I realized my career was a matter that couldn't be hedged any longer. I wasn't interested in medl- cine, was interested in the stage. I believed in my ability to make good in the work cared for. So I left college and instead of going to med ical school I came east and made Broadway my goal.

Bill Says He Will But Fans Hold Hope of His Chang

Scores of movie fans are hoping that William S. Hart will change his mind about retiring from the screen, but "Bill' is still determined to re- tire from Filmland about March 1 of this year, at which time he will have completed the series of pictures for which he is now under contract.
 Hart has just completed the last but one of the series, yet untitled. and this is now in the cutting and titling stage. Which means that he has one more production to make before March 1.
 The legion of Hart followers are hoping, however, that it will not be his last
