in the United States it
may be said, Now Is the winter OF
our discomfort" But not in the South.
For in the wintev flows the Souths
golden flood from the North. The an

and pleasure is now under full head

food. Here are some of the facts

zoe, 900 to Go South.

The automobile traffic carries others who are
no inconsderable part of the whole. Fully 500
cars day are now going South. Three persons
to car and 100 days of travel would indicate
that 10000 persons find the Southern touring q
pleasant relief from bucking snow drifts
In all, about 100000 persons VIII go South this
year. These figures can be checked up somewhat
with the hotels. There are some famous places of
recreation which are filed from the time they
open until the end of the season. hotels in resorts
such as Ashevllle, Pinehurst Aiken Southern
Pines, In the CarOlinas; Augusta and Thomasvle
in Georgia, and Belleaire, Miami Palm Beach, st.
Petersburg DaytOna and St Augustine, In Flor
Ida.
The total hotel capacity of these places is 49,
661. The average stay at most of these hotels can
he reckoned at about two weeks That would
give a population In these better known hotels
for three months of about $4,000 persons The
other 10000 find their way to the smaller places
and to bungalows, cottages and boarding houses.
1t is from this great majority, aso that the
bulk Of the revenue comes. One is apt to think
Of F1Orida-for Florida Is the Ultima Thule of the
Southland. and has more recreation places than
all the others put tOgether-as a place dotted
with million dollar homes and surrounded by a
protecting 1OtIlla of costly yachts. But as a mat
ter of fact, the great majority Of the people who
go to Florida are neither enormously wealthy nor
great spendthrifts
Bungalow colonies are growing all over the
state. built by people of moderate means, who go
to Florida not for pleasure only, but for their
health. There are 1t Is said more old people In
Florida than any other state in the Union; they
go there to keep alive.
The people of wealth, whose names associated
with Palm Beach have made 1t one of the most
famous resorts In the world, are very few in num-
Der, hut make up for that by the vast amounts

Tourists to Southern winter resOrts-traveers
by rail- 100000; by steamer and private yacht,
$4,000; by automobile, 10000; total 100000.
Hotel expenses, $44,SOO00O.
Amusements $4O,OOOOOO.

Yes, the migration is on. About 100 sleeping
cars leave New York and Chicago daily for the
South, and at least 500 automobiles begin the
journey every day.
OF course California has also a golden winter
flood from the East-which is another story.
And the North has a return flood from the
South in the summer-Of which something later.
This migration season is looked upon by those
sections of the South where the Northern tour
ist hocks as one of harvest. Crops and fruits
for which Florida is known, take second place as
. SOURCE Of revenue. The hotels crammed
to overlooking, cottages and bungalows filed
for the entire season at rents which make that of
a New York apartment seem fairly reasonable.
the beaches swarm with bathers forgetful of the
Ice which binds the Northern waters and the
crack Of the golf ball sounds from Asheville to
Key West
This costs money Just how much nobody
knows 1t used to be said that 500, 100000 was
spent by tourists in Florida every winter but that
was before the war. and the cost of touring has
gone up. The estimates must be revised.
Some approximation of the facts can be oh
tanned, however, by diligent search among the
railroad records. The season starts a little
earlier In the Carolinas than in Florida, and then
laps over again after the Florida season, but the
season of capacity is considered by railroad men
to be approximately fifteen weeks. During this
period the travel So1th is fairly constant. There
are two main gateways for Northern approach to
the SOuth-Chicago and New York. Out of Chi
cHgO there are running every day so Southern
sleepers which hold on an average of 1000 per-
SINS. From New York by rail and boat there
leave about the same numbers 1000 persons in
ALL With a season Of about 100 days, that reaches
a total of 100000 persons who travel by rail and
boat. ~

SpiritualiSm Wave

BERLIN, Oct. p.
WAVE Of spiritualism

"A which Is sweeping over
Berlin has filled the city
with seances, over which tho
police keep a sharp watch. The
result of this watch was a
prosecution for fraud against
two women, upon information
laid by two detectives who had
secured admission to a seance
and charged that the spirit
voices were merely a clever bit
Of ventriloquism.
The two defendants protested
that they were real mediums,
and produced an array Of wit
nesses who testified that they
were convinced that the ap-
partitions they had seen were
the genuine article. One woman
whose son was killed in the war
by a bullet in the heart declared
positively that her son had APP
peared, bleeding from his
wound, and talked with her.
The defendants offered to hold
a seance in the courtroom, but
the judge declined with thanks.
The prosecuting attorney
moved a sentence of six months,
while the attorney for the de-
PENDANTS set forth that mani
festations from the spirit world
could not be dismissed as hun
bug. The defendants were
acquitted.

lawed by the three-year statute OF

Many OF the crimes committed
are recent and do not come under

but the air trust hopes TO prevent
any Federal action from being taken
ON these until they are outiawed by
the statute OF limitation next year
and the year after.
The funds for continuing these
schemes are coming from the recent
contracts the inferior aircraft and
\ motors placed with members OF the
Manufacturers Aircraft Association
by the air service. which amount to
close to $4,000. 900. on which they
make huge profits.
As these aircraft are inferior. de-
fective and not needed by the air
service. they should be cancelled i'm.
mediately. not only to save the tax
payers from being robbed of addi-
tional $40 1000, 900. but also TO pre-
went the continuance of these evils.
The only hope OF ending these
evils and safeguarding the lives Of
air service pilots rests on prompt
action in cancelling pending aircraft
contracts and carrying into effect
tho recently announced intention of
United States Attorney General
Daugherty, to submit SUCH matters
promptly TO Federal grand juries.
Our experience in investigating
aircraft scandals and preparing
special reports on the aircraft situa.
tion for ex-President Wilson, Secre.
tary Baker and Congress and for the
present Administration has con-
vinced us that these evils would not
exist today If the aircraft scandals
of 1917-191s had been submitted to q
Federal grand jury for action, ani
we estimate that by ending those
evils then the United States Govern.
ment would have saved at least
5000 000, 900. and would have received
more and better aircraft in return.

ice men who were killed by defective
and inefficient aircraft would have
