WORTHY OF COMMENTATOR

Statewide comment is being heard over the
action Of the county commissioners of Oranee
county IN ordering the removal Of all advertising
signs en- county property. There is 70 objection
nor could there be any legal obstacle, to any adj
vertlser renting ground space beyond the highway
right-of-way as is The custom now in almost all
parts OF the country but in these latter days there
has been such conglomeration of rusty tin and
delapidated and splntered boards that The aspect
OF the average highway is anything but pleasing.
The Orange county commissioners had previously
set Saturday, April IS. as the date for the dis
appearance ct the signs and lheir order had The
hearty endorsement CT the local bill board COM
pany which Immediately sent out a force of men
to remove the bill boards and place them back
on private property. 1t is not the often artistic
bill board sign that cfends most but the unsgbtlv
monstrosties that litter the reads of Florida from
one end to the other. verywhere throughout the
United States those interested in highway beauti-
tcaton are having unsighty sign boards and other
advertising matter renewed, to give way to Or
namental trees and shrubs. Surely no State has
better opportunities or facilities than has Florida
tor highway Identification. That will undoubtedly
come after the roads have been hard-surfaced
l ne main thing now is to get somewhere. When
that has been brought to pass then will highway
prinking" be in order and we are going to look
to the women Of Florida to see that this is done
and done properly.

EMPIRE BUILDING

Less stormy and threatening conditions now
seem to exist in India, due largely to the
operation given the British government by the
leaders of thought and activity in that great
try Everywhere there have been expressions of
amazement that the British authorities would per-
NIT such widespread seditious movement as that
instituted by Ghand and his followers. 1t has
been difficult to fathom the British mind in this
regard Here in the United States any man or
set of men would have been quickly jailed for far
less than the Indian revolutionst and his lieuten-
ants perpetraed. 1t should be understood that
Ghandi, who has finally been jailed, is Parsee
and neither Hindu or a Mohammedan it was
feared that drastic action might lead to further
trouble but apparently this has not been the case
Those who in our land are interested in the great
Empire of India" should remember that the
great bulk of the population of India is made up
of inert Hindus in religion while the larger part
of the minority noisy and aggressive Mohamme-
dams As noted above, the rebel leader Ghandi
is neither a Hindu ncr a Mohammedan but
Parsee. This name has beth an clinical and a re-
hgous meaning; that is to say, the Parsees are

Ghandi was a Mohammedan and that therefore
his compa!riots would rise in general and open
rebellion. causing another bloody war. But mas
much as the Mchammcdan has little use for the

AUTOMOBILE SPEED

CPensacOla News
Speed regulation is found to be less simple
than It used to appear. As in the case of many
other kinds of legislation, the laws often fail to
accomplish their purpose
The most obvious fact about automobile traffic
in cities is that for the sake of safety cars
should move slowly through busy streets Yet
as soon as they made to move slowly there
enters an efficiency engineering problem. The
more deliberately they proceed the more cars
there are on given stretch of street at a given
time, and the more traffic is crowded This crowd
ing in itself makes additional traffic troubles and
danger
Another fact always recognized is this-that
the rate of speed may be of less importance than
the care and skill Of the driver A car driven
by an incapable or reckless person may be more
dangerous at Is miles an hour than the same car
driven by competent and conscientious driver
at % or 80 miles. Admittedly the faster a car
is going the harder it is to control but the fact
remains that rapid driving is not necessarily

The Cost of CareIessness.

New Orleans Christian Adrocdte.1
We were struck the other day by a
statement in publication issued by
the National Board Of Fire Under
writer's to the effect that the total loss
by fire in 1921 was $4S5, ,OOO,O 900, as conf
pared with a loss of sol ,653, $50 in 1870.
In 1870 the loss averaged $40 min
ute; in 1921 it averaged $923,a minute.
According to this statement, American
carelessness results in a fire every min-
ute Not all fires are caused by care
lessness, of course, but enough of them
are to constitute a strong indictment
against us as people. Not long ago a
careless employe disregarded the mo
smoking rule in his establishment,
threw his cigarette stub upon the floor
and a $2,0OO.OOO fire resulted. That
is just one other indictment against
the cigarette.
