ally at the end of the world, Pau
line Frederick appears as the
keeper of a rooming and gambling
place. She has undergone COM
plete transformation. She is an
exotic creature in her loose fitting
gown of Javanese batik, with feet
in sandals and adorned with jewel
ry of jade, rings, amulets and beads.

sible for her being there, for it was

snlelled good to us. In the kindness
of our heart, always willing to give
away what We can't use oursef, we
offered to divide the fragrant weed
with our friends, only to be told by
those degenerates that real herman
tobacco did not fit their delicate nerves
until it had been prepared-that is,
mixed with various connections that
more or less denatured it. Having
frequently seen tobacco hung up in
the barn one month and pushed into
cob pipes by toil-hardened fingers the
next, such statements sadden US. We
have taken that really truly tobacco
into our apartments and put it be-
tween our mattresses and amid our
clothes, what few we are not wearing,
so that we will smell like sport, even
though we don't look like one.

WHY DID THE RAILROAD
COMMISSION WAIT I?

Since the hearing in Gainesville
Feb. 10th before the railroad commits
sion upon the application of the Coast
Line railroad to discontinue its pas
senger trains Nos. and 10 between
Leesburg and Jacksonville, 80 and 35
between Ocala and Lakeland, and 14o
and 141 between Chief1and and Ocala,
the Marion County Chamber of Com
merce has been following up the pro-
posal that single cars operated by
gasoline motors be substituted for
local steam trains when the latter do
not pay. The statement was made
by members of the railroad commits
sion at Gainesville that the drawback
to operating single cars was the fact
that the labor board required a full
crew on these cars just as on a COM
plete train. The CHAMBER of Com
merce has since found that at least
three railroads in the country are
now operating single gasoline cars
successfully and doing so with only
two men and in one case with only
one man. These roads are the New
York, New Haven & Hartford, the
Central West Virginia and the Stone
Harbor railroad. The information OBJ
tanned from these roads is to the eff
feet that the labor board has no
jurisdiction in the matter of crews.
/ In letter to the railroad commits
sion the Chamber of Commerce has
called attention to this information
and has expressed the conviction that
the commission should go fully into
the question and if facts are as stated
the railroads should be ordered to put
these gasoline cars in service where
traffic demands it and where the ust
of steam trains is not justified by thu
amount of travel.
The Chamber of Commerce has re
ceived reply from the railroad com
mission under date of Feb. 18th, stat
ing that the commissioners have TO
some time been investigating tn
possibility of operating gasolin
= motor cars on roads where the reve
) nue. is not sufficient to warrant tn
;. operation of steam trains. The lette
c also states that the commission
= writing the labor board to ascertai
e whether the board assumes jurisdic
t ton as to the crew on these gasolin
: cars.
s The Chamber of Commerce is writ
e ing to find out why the commissio
t has waited until this time to get thi
e information from the labor board an
why, if the commission had not OF
tanned the information already, it
Y members stated in Gainesville ths
: the labor board required full Gre
e on the single cars.

The Toronto Mail and Empire tells
the melancholy truth when it says:
Omitted States politics is guilty of
many surprising turn, and no other
nation can be sure that it's relations
with the United States will not be
Jared considerably by cheap polite
ians at Washington. The root of the
trouble is that the United States has
been so provincial-so far as interna-
tional relations are concerned-that
it's people do not understand, or have
not understood, the significance of
keeping foreign policy distinct from
domestic party squabbles."
