Allied veterans, a million of them

."Our war was a war to end all wars.
We are not pacifists. We believe in
adequate defense for our country. But
our eyes were opened through hard
experience. We know what war
means and to the best of our ability
through all the coming years we in
tend to see that such things do not
happen again. To this end there has
been formed a great interallied vet
Grams association. La Federation des
Anciens Combattants, made up of all
the great veterans organizations in all
the allied countries. 1t INCLUDES in it's
membership the British Legion which

Thousands of Florida Babies
Being Registered Each Year
Says Vital Statistics Man
DATA ON BABY BORN FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO CAN BE LOCATED IN
TWO MINUTES BY INDEX.

Is Florida's population increasing?
Evidently. S. G. Thompson, in charge
or the bureau of vital statistics at the
state board of health, of Jacksonville,
was in the city yesterday on an official
visit to the local registrar and stated
that $4,000 babies have been registered
during the past year in Florida.
Since the passage of a law making
the registration of new babies com
pulsory the bureau, Mr. Thompson
stated, has recorded many thousands
OF them, any one of which with the
adequate filing system can be found
within two minutes. All data con-
corning the youngster is written on a
card and these are so fndexed that any
certain one can be located on short
notice. The deaths are treated in the
same manner. There has been about
10000 deaths in Florida during the
past year, Mr.. Thompson stated.
In many instances the accurate files
are indispensable not only to the gov
eminent, but to insurance companies
and private individuals seeking infor-
nation of departed relatives or friends
While in Pensacola Mr.. Thompson
had a pleasant visit with DR.. F. A.
Brink, state bacteriologist, who has
charge of the work being done locally
by the board of health.

BANNER YEAR FOR
RIFLE SHOOTING
NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION
SHOWS LARGE NUMBER OF
CLUBS AFFILIATED.

With the first six months of 1922
past, it is evident that the rising tide
of rifle shooting which is sweeping the
country has established already a new
high water mark, and if the interest in
the sport of craftsmanship continues
as it undoubtedly will, this year will
be the banner year of all years in
rifledom.
Records in the office of the National
Rifle Association show that not only
have an unusually large number Of
clubs affiliated and reaffiliated, but,
what is more significant 10000 shoot
ers have enrolled to date as individual
members. This number is greater
than that achieved during the entire
year of 1921 and is far in excess Of
the figures for previous years.
The time has come when the great
national interests of the shooting clan
can be fully conserved only by close
w knit national organization Of indi-
vidual shooters, whose desires in the
matter of legislation will carry the
weight of numbers and whose collec-
tive voice will be strong enough to
command attention and respect. The
organization and affiliation with the
N. r. A. of rifle clubs enables the
shooters of the country to benefit by
the provisions already existing on the
books. but if new legislation is de-
sired-and it is direfully needed-and
If the old laws are not to be abrogated
or permitted to lapse through disuse'
shooters must impress upon Congress
the merit of their claims, the impor-
lance of their sport as a national as
set. and the fact that they form an I'M
portant part of the body polite. Thls
can be done only through building up
their national organization with 1ndl-
vidual members.

Grave Problem For Japan
To Find An Outlet For Her
Fast Growing Population

OSAKA, Japan.-(A. P. letter. -
The English edition of the Osaka
Mainichi, the only foreign newspaper
In Japan, conducted exclusively bv
japanese claiming that the latest sta
tistics show that there are 429 Jan
anese to every square mile of Japan
proper and that the population is in
creasing at the rate of 146 per thou
sand. says it is a grave problem for
Japan to find an outlet for her people
Japan lacks natural resources and ia
already overpopulated, so the Maini
chi says emigration is the only solu-
ton and suggest South America as the
place to send the overflow.

keep their doors shut against the
Japanese people, and it would be i'm
possible for the Japanese to emigrate
INTO those countries" says the Miami
Chi. TT is true that there are Man
churia and Siberia left for Japanese
emigrants, but these are rather places
for capitalists to exploit than for la
borers. Under present circumstances,
it seems that South America offers
the most promising future for the
S0PAAASSC PCOpiCs DOlA anu
economically. 1t may therefore be
said that they key to the solution of
the present difficulty of population
question in Japan lies in the emigra-
ton of the Japanese people to that
country.
Japs In Brazil.
LAS a matter of fact, emigration to
South America has long been going
on, as is seen in the presence of many
Japanese in Brazil and in neighboring
countries, but it has hitherto been
carried on in a very half hearted man
ner. The majority of the Japanese
emigrants to South America were
poor laborers without capital and
without any capable leaders, and the
result was that they did not succeed,
and led miserable lives there. 1t will,
therefore be seen, that the present
method of emigration to South Ameri-
ca should be radically improved so as
to make it a success"
Several parties of Japanese, going to
the centennial exhibition at Rio ia
metro are to look into the possibility
of Japanese settling in Brazil hut the
government denies the reports that
this movement is to receive official
support.

DANCE A WEEK AT
PALMETTO BEACH
Many Interesting Features, Including
A "Grab- Bag" AS a Side Line

Every Monday night the Pensacola
Carnival Association will hold weekly
dances at Palmetto Beach. Owing to
the great success of last weeks dan
SAINT, the committee felt that they were
receiving sufficient encourag cement
from the public and decided to give
one each Monday night.
The particular drawing power to
these dansants is the souvenirs and
prizes that will be given away free of
charge; this in addition to the small
amount of admission charged, should
prove to be one of the most attractive
drawing features ever established at
any public function given in Pensacola.
To insure the further enjoyment of
the public who attend-the Rainbow
Orchestra" will radiate their pleasing
tunes for the benefit of the association
and there is no doubt but their playing
will prove an additional attraction.
These boys made great number of
friends last Monday night by the ex-
cellent music played for the dansant,
and their temperance Monday night
will make everyone feel that every
thing is being done for their entire
enjoyment.
The special feature will be a grab
bag-and everyone entering the paw
lion will receive a souvenir to hold as
memoir of their evening of pleasure
spent at Palmetto Beach.

SWEDEN GOING DRY.

STOCKHOLM. "a. P. Letter.
Sweden's prohibition campaign, now at
its height, has become largely a battle
OF statistics. While the dry" forces
point with pride to the fact that they
won a victory in the Riksdag when
that body voted to hold a consultative
plebiscite of the wet" and dry issue
on August 81 of this year, the anti
prohibitionists are quoting govern
ment district physicians scattered all
over the country are now being re-
ceived by the Swedish Medical Board
which recently went on record against
total prohibition. Virtually all Of the
physicians report that drunkenness
appears to be decreasing in their re-
spective districts, and that in many
parts of the country home brewing is
declining.
The Royal Social Boards latest re-
port shows that during the first quar-
ter of this year inebriety showed a
further decline. there being only 5,2S5
cases of drunkenness reported
throughout Sweden. The report sets
forth also that during 1921 Norway
and Finland, both prohibition coun-
tries were more wet in spots than
Sweden with her liquor rationing sys-
tenn. Thus during 1921 Sweden's quar-
terly reports showed between 1000
and 5000 cases of drunkenness while
prohibition Norway, with about half OF
Sweden's population, had an average
of nearly 5000 cases of inebriety Of

MEXICAN SEABOARD
ISSUES ARE WEAK
Prices Uneven In Early Part Of The
Day But Harden Later Under
Rail Demand

NEW YORK, July 27.-Stock mar
ket prices were uneven in the early
part of today's trading, but hardened
very generally later under the influ-
ence of a demand for the rails and
other standard shares. Initial reactions
were again primarily due to the weak
ness of Mexican Seaboard issues which
made new low prices for the current
movement on more aggressive selling
evidently from professional sources.
Coverings of short contracts in
transportation was attributed to more
encouraging advices respecting strike
conditions and figures showing that
car loadings at principal terminals had
subsequently increased.
Steels, equipments and other fav-
orites of the industrial division re-
Elected tentative resumption of bull"
operations by pools. Extreme gains in
htose groups ranged from 2 to over
Z points. Crucible rising buoyantly on
heavy accommodations.
Utilities also made a good showing
one of the strongest issues being Con-
solidated Gas. which made a substan-
tial response to the announcement that
the stock had been restored to it's
former eight per cent annual basis.
Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
Additional railroad reports for June
were of a mixed character In the
main, further net gains were shown,
but the Atchison System was an AK
ception, increased operating expenses
of about $1,700,000 being accompanied
by a net decrease of $1,000, 900.
Money tendencies were easier, call
loans opening at 8 1-2 per cent and
holding throughout the session at that
figure In private negotiations de-
mand loans were made at IA per
cent.
The further collapse of German
marks to within a fraction of their
low record impaired some irregularity
to foreign exchanges. Sterling was
firm, with French, Italian and Belgium
and nominal changes were
shown by most of the neutral coun-
tries.
