1t Doesn't Listen Good.

A late issue of a fashion magazine
in speaking of new night robes for
women says:
Every chic woman who starts off
on journey must tuck one of these
new nightshirts into her case. They
are exceedingly, practical for country
wear-even If not too identifying"
My mother used to call 'em might
dresses" and it seems to me that
name is all to the good. Seriously, the
women seem too eager to grasp off
the names of what men wear-and
then wear 'em, by heck! AS yet they
haven't shackled on to our "breeches"
but that is the only thing we own
that they don't. But why should a
woman need an especial garment
"for country wear" along that line of
costume? If the thing is not right
for the city, why inflict US country
yokels with it? Aren't we folks in
the country" just as fitten to view

corners is a guard weighing 1870
pounds and the other is a backfield
man who possesses a great punting

Legion Succeeds
In Effort to Aid
Former Palatkan

The, people of Palatka, feeling the
business of the claim, will be glad to
know that Manuel R. Speck has re-
ceived temporary compensation tn
the amount of $94297-that amount
hiving been forwarded to him at the
William Beaumont general hospital
at Beaumont, Texas.
Speck while in camp was attacked
by consumption, and saw no over
seas suffering; but when the trouble
was over and he was thrown upon
his own resources privations came,
and he was sorely cup against it."
His funds dropped to low ebb, and
it was necessary that something be
done for him.
The matter coming before "Bert"
Hodge Post Of the American Legion,
the situation was taken up by the adj
jutant, C. Howard Rowton, with the
United States Veterans Bureau, and
after a considerable struggle the all
ing man was accepted at the Texas
hospital. But Mr.. Rowton did not
allow the matter to drop at that
point. He was insistent that there
should be compensation allowed, at
least to an extent which would allay
any privations.
1t has required several months of
continuous correspondence to bring
the result that is herewith stated.
AS soon as Mr.. Rowton received no.

allowed he wired Speck of his sue

MUNICIPAL DOCKS
ENDORSED BUT SET
B A OK FOR DETAILS
Committee Reports, But
Hesitates to Take the
Initiative

The matter of establishing at some
logical location, presumably as neal
to the land now owned by the city
north of both drawbridges, NUM-
cipal dock with proper warehouses
has been under consideration for
some time in Palatka, and much ar
gument has been made for such a
proposition. At a previous meeting
of the city council a committee con-
sisting of E. R. Conway, B. C. Pearce
and w. A. Walton, was appointed to
look into the matter and present its
findings at a regular session, of the
council. The report was made last
evening.
The report of the committee went
into the matter at some length. 1t
asserted that the committee favored
the project, but believed the propo-
sition would have to be handled in
some other manner than the one
which at first seemed advisable. The
report included the following closing
remarks:
"Your committee is heartily in IA
vcr of such municipal dock and ware
houses, but upon advice of the city
attorney it is believed that the city
has no authority to issue bonds with
out special act of the legislature,
or by an election, and that there is
serious doubt in their minds that
such docks as are proposed can be
built without special legislative au-
thority After investigation we find
that the city owns a tract of land in
the vicinity of that mentioned by the
committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce. We therefore recommend
that the city engineer investigate
this land and make a tentative esti-
mate as to the cost Of preparing this
land for the use of city docks and
warehouses. In view of the fact
shat the same has to be referred to
the legislature or to a special cleo
ton, we, your committee, refer the
same back to your honorable body
for further consideration"

Merely Dribbings
From
The Thought Tank
By THORN
I'd Say 1t Was.

I'd Say 1t Was.
Says The Tampa Tribune of Sun
day last in its usually caustic man.
uer:
"a rehearsal for the wedding of
Miss Barbara Knight and j. W. Du-
pree will be hell this evening at the
First Methodist church. Preceding the
rehearsal, Mr.. Dupree will entertain
with stag dinner at his home on
Bayshore Drive"
Well, if the rehearsal was that
naughty thing which The Tribune
said it was, what'n thunder do you
s'pose that stag-luncheon proved to
be? I've long been aware that mar
riages too frequently turned out that
way-but where the prelims take on
a brimstonic hue 1 think the pros
poets for future welded bliss is just
too perfectly horrid, so there.
