SHOVE THE SIGNS BACK
OUT OF SIGHT

Jacksonville, August 15-The seen
cry effacing sign boards along the
Pablo Beach highway must go or be
moved fifty feet from the road, the
county commission has decreed IN its
Identification mood. The commission
intends TO make the road soothing to
the eye, even the permanent wave" in
the road itself is going.
The commission says its poor ad-
vertising anyway, to flaunt Your
wares before the motorist by means
OF an ugly display that shoves natures
own to the background. Those signs
that attempt to inform the motorist
how far he is from his goal are mis-
leading, too, It is argued. In three
instances, it is pointed out, the signs
advertising different trades disagree
on the distance by four TO ten miles.
There viii be no special dispense
tions either. for the restaurant keeper
at Pablo who frankly admits on the
glaring sign halfway between the
beach and jacksonville that he doea
not know who is the best swimmer a
the beach but he is well informed n
the matter of eating.

BACK HIS MESSAGE

Settling Strike to Be Tried Before
Administration Presents
Its Plan

Washington, Aug. 17-(Associated

cided upon by the administration. The
efforts the president was said to have
particularly in mind was the confer

GREAT DEVELOPMENTS
IN AUSTRALIA

Melbourne-(By Mail to the Asso-
ciated Press) Under the capitalist
system Australia is supporting twice
as many people as it did 100 years ago,
according to Prime Minister Hughes
who in recent survey of the condi-
tions of the Commonwealth, prophesi-
ed that 100 years from today Austria
las $4,000 inhabitants will have
grown to 100,OO0,000.
Australia is the greatest food pro-
ducing country in the world,'' said Mr..
Hughes, "and its agricultural posi-
bilities in certain fields are barely
worked" AS an instance Mr.. Hughes
mentioned that Australia was suited
for growing a very fine cotton with q
superior staple to that of American
cotton. and he pointed out that Aus
tralia had available an area for the
culture of this crop in excess of the
area devoted to it in America

REPORT WAS WRONG

The Star is sorry to say there were
many errors in its report yesterday
of the city council meeting. The
1923 budget was passed, calling for 20
mills taaxtion. This budget is subject
to alterations on hearing from the
citizens. The proposed appropriations
of $500 for the city park, $4,000 for a
band and $500 for the improvement of
the civic center lot were condensed
into the contingency fund. There was
no ordinance passed calling for an
election for bonds. The ordinance is
to give the, council power to improve
the light and water plant, including a
new unit and necessary water mains
and water softener. The ordinance
is so framed that the voters may vote
separately on each proposition.

nical Commission to Poland, working
under the direction of Colonel A. H.
Barber, will bring its activities to a
close this summer.
This Commission was formed in

on transportation problems. Now
that the Polish railroads are practi-
cally restored, the work of the Com
mission is at an end. The help of
Colonel Barber has been fully appre-

first American to receive the order of
"Polonia Restituta," established by
the Polish government as a mark of
honor to those who served with dis
tinction in the reconstruction of the
new republic.

AGREEMENT NOT EXPECTED

Representatives of the shopmen who
are watching the brotherhood confer
ence closely indicated they expected
the conference not to suggest any
compromise on the matter of seniority.

did not expect the brotherhoods to
suggest any patched up compromise
TO the executives nor that the brother
hoods would promise to exert their
influence to get the shopmen to return

not guaranteed the strikers.

ENGLISH NAVY AT A
DISADVANTAGE IN THE AIR

London.-(By Mail to the Associat-
ed Press).-"The navy of the future
must take to the tair; otherwise it viii
be at a hopeless disadvantage" said
Captain Viscount Curzon IN the house
of commons when the naval estimates
came up for discussion. He pointed
out that according to the latest figures
the navy had only nine fighting air
planes, in contrast with the 86 pos
sessed by the United States navy.
To offset the allegations of Captain
Curzon, the air ministry has issued a
statement declaring the British navy
to be better equipped with airplanes
than that of any other power and
claiming no fewer than SO fighting air
machines in commission, with a large
number of reserves.
George Lambert, former civil lord
OF the admiralty, expressed the opin-
ion that the British navy was very in
adequately equipped with aircraft.
"Can the navy say that from the de-
fensive point of view the money of the
taxpayer is being spent to the best
advantage?" he asked. "You are go
ing to spend $4,000, 900, on two new
battleships, but it is useless to spend
money on capital ships unless you
have sufficient aircraft for the ships
you already possess"
Lieutenant Commander Kenworthy
emphasized the need of Strengthening
the air feet. "We are exposed to two
great dangers from the air." he said
'massed attacks by fleets of airplanes
flying by night and scattering poison
and disease germs on our cities, and
having our food supplies cut off by at
tacks on the trade routes. The two
capital ships would be of little use
warding off such raiders"
Mr.. Amery, financial secretary to
the admiralty, answered some ques-
tions about recent experimental at.
tacks by airplanes on warships in the
channel. According to published sen.
sational reports, he said, the attacks
were completely successful, and d
| made in warfare would have com
pletely wiped out a considerable por.
tion of the British navy. The manoeu
vers were not of wholly novel char
acter," but part of series of valuabl,
and constructive exercises which hav'
been carried out for some time. 1t i.
