Annual Motor
Pilgrimage to South

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 5.-Some-
cody in Maine or Minnesota discov-
cred a few years ago that he could
load his family into the family fiivver
and drive to Florida for the winter at
an expense about equal to the rail
road fare for one person.
Now motor cars, from the quiet
running sedan to the rafting, bang
ing fiivver with frying pans, lanterns,
coffee pots, buckets and other uten-
sils attached all over them from radi
ators to spare tire racks, descend ID
upon Florida in droves bearing the
vanguard of the thousands of tour
lists who motor to the peninsular in
the fall from all parts of the union.
The movement is not expected to
be in full swing before the middle IF
November. but for weeks they have
been trickling through the gateways
and by October Is it was estimated
that during the daylight hours one
tourist car was crossing the border
over the three main highways every
fifteen minutes. Some of the vehicles
include contraptions never before
seen on four wheels. One favored by
many of the travellers is a chassis
with one room house upon it, equip
ped with everything from stationary
wash basin to rocking chairs.
The flivver with camping equip
ment suspended from every possible
part o. the car to which bit of wire
or cord can be attached, is the most
common long distance traveller. A
hay burner" lanter, one of the va
rieties usually seen about farm
houses, may be attached to the radia-
tor cap. Under the car may be
swinging two or three water buckets
each filled with cooking utensils or
other articles. A frying pan may
be attached to a door handle and the
running boards usually are weighed
down with baggage and the inevi-
table small tent that may be erect
ed within few minutes when the
tou,is finds a likely place to stop
for the night. Every city and town
in Florida along the motor routes
within the last few years has estab-
lishad camp site, and in the case
of those on the outskirts Of the larg-
er places, are equipped with electric
lights, water mains and sewerage.
Every camp site now is under the su-
pervision fthe State Board of
Health and one sanitary engineer de-
votes his entire time during the win
ter to the inspection of them.

Launch Better Speech Week

Iowa City, Ia, Nov. 2.-Incorrect
speech and slang are to be the sub
jects of a nationwide campaign by
women's clubs and schools Of the
country, according to Prof. Glenn N.
Merry, head of the department of
speech of the University of Iowa and
chairman of the joint commit,ee of
the National Council of Teachers of
English, the National Association of
Teachers of Speech and the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, which
are instituting the better speech
movement.
"Women's clubs will attack incor-
rect speech the next week." he said.
Schools will take up the attack the
third week in February. In both in
stances the action will be concerted
throughout the country and will b
an effort to erase the bad features OF
our language"
The committee recognizes, Profes-
sor Merry said, that our language is
not fixed and dead, but living and
subject to constant change; that two
general standards ofusage exist, good
English and vulgar English, and that
the usage by the educated classes
should set the standard of American
speech.
"The policy of the committee. is
determined by broad ideal Of avoid
ing purism, fadism and artificial
speech on one hand and vulgarism on
the other" he said. "Distinctive-
ness of utterance and agreeable
voice quality are achievements in
speech worthy of cultivation"
