Who Do You Know
Up North? Let's
Send En- a Card.

Have you friend up north? Do you
remember the address Of an acquain-
lance who resides above where the
Mason Dixon line used to be?
The whole scheme is this: You love
Pensacola or you wouldn't be here.
Everybody that has this feeling for
Pensacola wants to see Pensacola
grow, wants to see Pensacola have
and enjoy things that will make it
grow.
The Chamber Of Commerce has hit
upon a plan that, if properly worked,
will have a tremendous power for pull
ling northern visitors to Pensacola. II
is a plan the success Of which depends
in a large measure upon the individuals
of this fair city who have friends in
the north and who are willing to spend
about ten minutes of their time.
The Chamber of Commerce is COM
piling a mailing list for the purpose
of mailing out a bushel or two post
cards within the next few weeks. 1t
would not do to just grab up city
directory of Cleveland or some other
citv and mail cards to the residents
of that city, who, perhaps, have never
thought of coming. to Florida. They
have no friends down here-the per-
sonal viewpoint is lacking. The per-
sonal element counts.
Hello Bill, it's cold up there, how
about coming to Pensacola? 1t pleas
ant down here and we are enjoying lie
! Won't you spend a while in Pensacola
An. invitation like that, backed up by
the fact that you two are friends even
lust acquaintances, will do the work
the Chamber of Commerce believes.
All asked is that the addresses be
sent In. The chamber Of Commerce
will mail out the cards. This is move
designed to pull visitors to Pensacola
advertise Pensacola-move In Which
every Pensacolian can help. The starr
of the Chamber Of Commerce says thai
they can't get many addresses. They
are asking the people Of Pensacola &c
supply them.

POLICEMEN TO
HAVE PORTABLE
WIRELESS SETS
Pulling Boxes Ex.
pected to Be Thing
of Past.

Chicago, Feb. THE old-fash-
ioned policeman who pulled" a
box and then spent an hour nap
ping in some sheltered corner is
threatened with a shock-in the
wrist. Chicago officials, planning
to equip every policeman with a
portable wireless set, are consid-
ering transmitting their signals by
attaching two electrodes to each
policeman's wrist and attracting
his attention by passing an cleo
trio impulse through his system.
Visible or oral signals are un-
suited to the needs of the police
man patrolling a beat, the city's
wireless experts say, and so they
have begun experimenting with the
shocking plan.
Berlin, Germany, policemen have
been equipped with an eight-pound
wireless set which transmits a
shock when headquarters wants a
recipient to run to the nearest call
box. The instruments are sewed
in the officers clothes so he has no
chance to forget and leave them at
home.
BY a system of self-seIective
transmission the Chicago wireless
engineers believe it will be possi-
BILE to confine receipts of the signal
to policemen in a certain specified
area. A general alarm might wake
all the sleeping policemen in the
whole city.

Washington, Feb. 7.-As the time
draws near for Postmaster General
Hays to leave the cabinet, the word
from the administration source is
that DR.. Hubert Work, assistant
postmaster general will be ap-
pointed in his stead This disposes
of rumors which for the past week
have been current that Charles ID.
Hllles, former private secretary to
President Taft and national Repub-
lican committeeman from New York
state, might be induced to succeed
VIII Hays.
From the viewpoint of knowledge
of the postoft1ce department, DR..
Work was Immediately considered
as the best man to take hold of the
job and carry forward the many
reforms instituted by Will Hays.
From the political viewpoint. DR.
Work was regarded as acceptable
because as national Republican
committeeman from Colorado he
had had an experience in politics
and that important in handling
members of congress who besiege
the postmaster generals office all
the time.
HiIleS Has Influence.
But aside from this a movement
got under way to place Mr.. Hilles
in the cabinet because of his long
experience in Republican politics.
Mr.. Hilles was in Washington the
other day, and in fact whenever he
comes, he exhibits an influence with
the Harding administration which
indicates that the New York state
Republican organization is working
in close accord with the party chief
tains here.
1t is known that the discussion
of whether Mr. HiIles would take
the. postmaster generalship if Of
fered, turned entirely upon his bus
mess connections. His friends say
that his decision is today the same
as it was year ago when he visited
President-Elect Harding, namely
that he is unable for some time to
come to disassociate himself from
