Editor Pensacola journal:
I want to congratulate Major Crank
on his excellent article that appeared
in your Sunday paper on the proposed
special act to be submitted to the
present legislature upon the recon-
mendation Of the Joint Good Roads
commission as to the handling Of the
funds arising from the $1,000, 100000
issue Of bonds. His discussion makes
the matter appear clear that Escam-
bia county in any event would be the
loser by this method as proposed in
this special
The will of the people in this mat
ter should be supreme and no one
should stop it. It is Of course true
that those proposing this law think it
highly beneficial, but the voters alone
can settle a matter of this kind in the
manner it should be.
If the funds voted for the roads in
Escambia county are used to build the
bridge say to the extent of $500, 900. 90
to $1,000,000.00 then this money will
not be available for roads. The spe-
cial act proposed looks dangerous. Let
us hope it will not be pushed and that
this is the last attempt to have either
the county road funds voted by the
people, or the state, or federal aid
money to match the same. diverted
from the purpose for which they were
voted. This special act is going over
the peoples head of Escambia county
and using this money that they voted,
for something that it was not voted
for, and not considered at the time the
vote was polled. I think Major Crank's
article 'hit the nail on the head ex-
actly."

OLD HoME.BREw BAYS.

William Harrison was chaplain to
an English nobleman in the sixteenth
century. AS husband he made a
point of knowing all that went on in
his own HOUSEHOLD and, it seems, liked
to putter around the kitchen, especial
ly when his wife was making his
home brew.
He also was writing man and
liked to put to paper all the observa-
tons he made, so that his Chronicles
are regarded as the most accurate de-
scription extant of family life in the
sixteenth century.
And in the course of these Chron-
icles-now a classic, by the wayne
sort of takes his readers aside-as
some men like to do today-and whis-
pers in them the secret Of his super
lative home brew.
"Since l have taken occasion to
speak of bSewing," he writes, e" will
exemplify in such a proportion as I
am best skilled in. because it is the
usual rate for mine own family, and
once in a month practiced by my wife
and her maid-servants."
And after giving the recipe in full,
he like any modern, brags of the kick
1t conceals, at the same time warn
ing his readers Of the dangers of
drinking unwisely.
Describingthe evil effects of drink
ing ones self full of his recipe, he
says:
i know some ale knights so much
addicted thereto that they either fail
quite under the board, or else. not
daring to stir from their stools, sit
still, pinking with their narrow eyes,"
Had he lived some 400 years later.
he probably would have put it less
elegantly, but as effectively, thus: "Oh
boy. it's got some kick, believe me-"
The male of the species hasn't
changed a bit in 400 years.

"I'm going into town with you,"
returned quietly.

I'm going into town with you,"
returned quietly.
Shopping, I suppose" The word
sounded idle enough, but I, who knew
Dicky so well, recognized the note o.
watchfulness in the query.
81 shall probably go into some of the
shops before I return" I said careless
ly, ''but the real reason Of my goine
into the city is Mrs. Stewart. I should
have gone to see her yesterday"
Dicky frowned involuntarily, but
his face cleared again in an instant. 1,
was the second day after he had
brought me the terrible news that
Jack Beckett, my brother-cousin, was
reported killed somewhere in France
The news had been sent to Mrs. Stew
art. with whom my mother, Jack and
myself had boarded for SO many
years, that her house seemed like home
to us-indeed, was the only home we
had. I knew that Dicky in his heart
did not wish me to go to see Mrs.
Stewart, but also knew that he was
ashamed to give voice to his reluc-
lance.
I was sure that he remembered the
preceding morning as vividly as I did,
when, after a night of sorrowful bat
Ting with my own heart, I had yield
ed to my husbands unspoken wish,
and agreed to give up my brother
cousins property, which was Jacks
last wish I should have. After that
big concession I was in no mood to
consider even the slightest objection
on Dicky's part against my trip to
Mrs. Stewards:
When Dicky spoke at last it was
with just the right shade of cordial
acquiescence in his voice.
a"Of course you must go to see her"
he said, but are you sure you're feel
ing fit enough? 1t will try your nerves,
I imagine"
The "Usual' Notification.
Far better than Dicky could guess
I knew what the days ordeal would be.
Mrs. Stewart had been very fond of
my brother-cousin. With my mother,
she had hoped that he and I would
some day care for each other. With
her queer partisan ideas of loyalty,
when Dicky had been so cruelty I'M
just to me about Jack, she had wished
me to divorce Dicky and marry Jack,
even though Jack himself had never
whispered such solution of my lifes
problem. That she believed me to be
responsible for his going to the war I
knew, I dreaded inexpressibly the idea
Of facing her.,
But when after silent trip to the
city with Dicky I stood again in Mrs.
Stewards little upstairs sitting room,
found only a very sorrowful old
woman, not a reproachful one.
."I thought you'd come today she
said, and her voice was tired, dispir-
ted. felt a sudden compunction

been so few since Jacks going.

and then my old friend dropped my
hand, which she had been holding. !

ACCORDING TO EINSTEIN.
BY Berton Braley.

This recent Einsten theory concerning
Relatively
Is actually simple to explain;
If you possess the slightest geomet-
rical proclivity
You'll quickly get the answer in your
brain.
You take a line, for instance, and ex-
tend it horizontally
Away into infinity and then
You chase 1t through the universe
persistently and jauntily
And meet yourself on getting back
again!
Or take a common ray of light re-
fracted by polarity
And bend 1t in the middle, just a
bit,
And tie it to a comet; you'll observe
a slight disparity
That makes 1t rather difficult to
fit;
The tangents of it's, radius revolving
correlatedly
With segments OF the apex of a cone
VIII set the larger molecules in mo-
ton appropriately
"A fact which is not generally
known.
Take any kind of parallel-you needn't
be particular
And run 1t through the orbit of
star
You get parabolic curve that's slight
ly perpendicular
You mark II on the chart-and there
you are!
So that is Relatively in all of it's sim
plicity
And thus my little dissertation
ends
And now l hope that all OF you may
find n true felicity
BY lecturing on Einstein to your

getting fooled. Now the majority OF
them either go away from home, or
live in large cities where there IS 1T
tie social intimacy. Consequently many
marriages are made on very short ac-
quaintances.
Seen on dress parade, the girl may
seem to have a lovely disposition,
which proves sham when she shows

Hogs Among Hoes.
The legal methods being taken by
city and state governments to curb
the rent hogs should, If successful,
have an important bearing upon the
general reduction of prices.
In the large cities probably a great
majority of the laboring classes are
renters. They do not own their own
homes.
When greedy landlords, now COM
monty termed rent hogs, boost their
rents to impossible figures. it is but
natural InaC the occupants VI tHeSe
houses and apartments should insist
upon wages sufficient to meet the
strain.
It is just such conditions that keep
prices up, and will prevent any appre-
ciable decline as long as these condi-
tions exist. OF all Of the profiteers who
have cursed this country the rent hog
is probably the worst.
When he is curbed it should not be
difficult to bring other prices down
to a reasonable basis.-Florala News.

PERIL OF ALIGHTINo.

The old poem of Darius Green ant
His Flying Machine" with which J. T
Trowbridge entertained us long agt
was not only a kind OF epitome of thu
history Of aerial navigation from
Icarus and Daedalos to one generation
ago, but it was also an accurate
statement of the real peril of the fly.

tive Yankee lad, endeavored to fly. He
had "a.
A carriage-cover for tail and wings;
A piece of harness, and straps and
strings,
And a big, strong box, in which he
locks
These and a hundred other things.
He completed his invention just be-
fore the fourth Of July, and intended
to astonish the assembled folk Of his
village:
Til dance on the chimbleys; I'll stan
on the steeple,
I'll flop up to winders and scare the
people;
I'll light on the libbe'tyrpole, an crow;
An I'll say to the gawpin' fools be-
low,
"what worlds this ere that I've come
near?"
For I'll make EN- b'lieve I'm chap
I'm the moon;
And I'll try a race 18th their OF bal
loon!
But it did not turn out as he hoped !;
and as he picked himself up out of the
harn-vard. he heard the hooking
laughter of his brothers, who had been
hiding in the barn, and their question,
"Say, Drius, how do you like flying?"
Slowly, ruefully, where he lay,
Darius just turned and looked that
way,
AS he stanched his sorroWful nose
with his cuff,

He said, "but the amt SIGH a thun-

To this day alighting proves the
dangerous part of flying. The next
in the navigation of the
air should be in devising arrangements
for safety in alighting.
In, other spheres the process of COM
ing down has it's discomforts. war
is a dizzy flight. and when it is over
the nations engaged come down with
a hard, sickening thud, to the con-
sideration of debts and profiteering
and scandals Of many sorts.
When war is on, prices go soaring.
1t has always been so, and probably
always will be so. But after the war,
prices come down. That is the time
of discomfort and peril. All Europe
and a part of America sit now in the
barn yard amid the wreck of the wings
and other mechanical devices Of flight.
FLYING is fun, but alighting is uncom-
Portable.
But coming down is both necessary
and salutary. The process is not so
pleasant as is that OF flying; but it
will be better for us when we reach
the bottom and know that we are
there.

Why Divorces Are Common.

Recent figures show that over 10 per

are unable to live together, and they
obtain divorces. These matrimonial
