seemed evident When asked concern
ing the probable effect of the weather
mixers edfct on the coming Block Party,
which gets underway Wednesday. Lieut..
Tucker and Chief Ingram recited nany
instances where the circus always meets
its engagements, rain or shine. When a
circus never fails. they said, how could

ton and Block. Party of Pensacola. fail
short Of expectations.
Very enthusiastically they stated that the
rain had been wished for SO that the
Baby Mermaid that was washed ashore
from the old Massachusetts wreck could
feel more acclimated to It's surroundings
But not so with Baby Zaliah," the pride
Of the Hawaiian Islands, who seems
somewhat put out due to the rain. But
this Is in temperament only, as all the
atrlcal stars and luminaries must nave
temperament or they could not perform
properly.
Attention is. again called TO lieut.

There is perhaps more interest taken
BY the citizenship Of Escambia county

than any other road included in the

no doubt, for the reason that the COM

more in the planned development Of

county than any other project ever
undertaken here.

an embargo on railroad rolling stock
for the movement Of road construc-

This situation was responsible for a
complete suspension Of work. on the
highway for approximately three
weeks. However, through the persis-
tent and efficient efforts OF Congress
man Smithwick. at Washington, relief
was obtained from the operation OF
