TESTING WITH DEATH

Surely there was stuff for an old.fashioned
Morse sage in that story of the wireless operator
who went down with the Norwegian steamer
Grontoft. But with this difference-the old sages
had little humor them.
The story told in wireless messages from
the Grontoft picked up by the Estona in the
middle Atlantic, while a Great storm was raging.
They ran like this:
God pity the poor sailors in a night like
this-ha, hal"
THE old man thinks this calm will be over
oy nghtfall. We sure need some breeze!"
An hour later: We'll, the steward is making
sandwiches for the lfeboats. Looks like we were
going on a picnic"
In another halfhour: THE old wagon has a
list like rundown heel This is no weather for
fellow to be out in without an umbrella"
The E3tonia wired to the crippled Crontoft to
hold on and put about to go to the rescue.
Forty minutes later the Estonia operator picked
up the words:
We are sinking stern first The boats are
smashed. Can't hold out any longer The skip
per dictated that-he ought to know Where did
| put my hat? Sorry we can't wait for YOU
pressing business elsewhere. s."
As Shakespeare wrote at the end of Hamlet"
THE rest is silence"
me operators name was not mentioned in
the dispatch giving this story to the world. No.
body knew. Perhaps it doe5n't matter One
thing sure-he an American And while men
can die like that we needn't worry about the
vrility of the race.

COLOR IN THIS CLIMATE

Thomas A. Edison knows what he is talking
about when he say; that the need of Florida cities
is color The trouble with so many of the newer
towns in the state is that they are too much like
any other town in any ether section of the county
There would be no St. Augustine were it not for
the Spanish type cf architecture, carried out in the
great hotels fer which the Ancient City is famous
and in many of the private residences. West Palm
Beach, Palm Beach and Miami have their indi-
vloual characteristics as regards BUILDINGS and in
the case of these cities it may be said that some
attention has been paid to the native fora. But
in most instances this is feature almost entirely
neglected. That is why Mr. Edison told tic
Fort Myers News the other day that every prop
crty owner in that city should plant bouganvillea
in the front yard and in the back yard, if nothing
else. Mr.. Edison tells the Fort Myers folks to
remove the old, and useless citrus trees, replacing
them with palms and flowers, thereby converting
the city into veritable tropical garden. That
which is true of Fort Myers is also largely true
OF Lakeland except that the city on the Caloosa-
hatchee is more tropical the cocoanut palm and
the royal palm doing we'll in that latitude. But
here we have the flame vine. the bouganviIIea, the
hibiscus, the oleander and other plants, vines and
flowers that mean so much in any general scheme
of identification In a climate such as that en-
Joyed In this section of Florida there is no good
reason why Lakeland should not be flower gar
den. All visitors acclaim this as beautiful city,
We should not be contented until the verdict is:
The most beautiful"

ROADS AND DOLLARS

Reports which have reached the Presidents
Conference on Unemployment since January
indicate that highway construction in the various
states will provide work for 100000 men during
1922.
Under the provisions of the Federal Highway
Act, 80 states have informed the office Of Colonel
Arthur Woods, chairman of the emergency com
mittee in Washington, that plans under way
to build 1921 miles Of good roads.
This act was one of the recommendations of
the conference as an emergency measure to pro-
vide jobs for the nations unemployed A fund of
SIS, 100000 was created, to be apportioned
among the states taking advantage Of the act, each
state to have its own allotment for road construc-
ton matched by a similar amount from the federal
government
Estimates by governors show that $4,000 will
be the average amount per mile expended. When
the work is approved by federal inspectors, the
stale will receive frcm the United States about
$4,000 per mile.
The federal highway act" said Colonel
Weeds ought to result in large extension of
good reads mileage throughout the country At
TIE same time it is helping to solve the unemploy-
ment problem until cur various industries pass
through the present crisis and take up the slack
that puts every willing worker in the country back
Gu the pay roll. In addition the taxpayer will
benefit as we'll as his unemployed neighbor by the
opening up of new districts and the improvement
of existing highways"

SELLING BONDS AT PAR
Florida Post.)

The recent sale of bonds in Lakeland to the
amount of 1858 above par shows that boosting
city and advertising it well does help when that
said city has something to sell. Those that keep
track we'll of advertised communities cannot help
but notice that the towns that are boosted and
Dragged of by their own citizens are the ones
that get away with the bacon.
Lakeland authorities sold 100000 worth of
bonds and they brought little more than par
That speaks well for Lakeland Other booming
cities like Miami, West Palm Beach, Daytona
Jacksonville and Orlando have had bonds to sell
and in all leases the bonds brought more than
par.
Yet in some communities we are told that
boosting does not pay. That Chamber of Com
MERGE or a Board of Trade expense and
that the town could not afford to pay for live
wire secretary and in those same towns today the
town authorities or the county commissioners
have to fight like sin to get even 95 per cent of
the total The bond ouses won't give par although
the tax payers will pay par and then some.
Now, doesn't it pay to boost? Hasn't the secre.
tary of the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce been
paying investment? Is there any move on foot
to discard their secretary and thus save bit of
money? Lakeland is one of the best inland towns
in Florida and is not far behind Orlando when
it comes to business transacted yearly. Pess-
mists not allowed to stay in the town over
night. They do not try to fit square pegs into
round holes in Lakeland as the citizens are up
and doing every minute.
The members of the Cocoa Board of Trade
and also in Moore Haven have discarded their
respective secretaries on the ground of economy
and imagine that some of the members who also
have a multitude of personal and other duties to
perform will have nothing else to do but give
their time free gratis to their public boosting
machine. The result will be nothing accom-
plished
Hire a secretary even if your taxes are boosted.
Hire live wire every time and your bonds, like
those in Lakeland, will bring par more.
A live town is made so by the citizens and not
by any other agency.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-03-31

the lack of right arm does not compensate, by
any means, for that lack
1t is just as absurd fer one part of town, state,
or country to try to hinder the development of an
ether section, in a jealous and mistaken idea that
it is providing for its own advancement No section
can take the place of another section, just as
well-developed left arm is still not two arms. No
section CT a city or other geographical uno, can
be so well-deveoped that it makes up for the lack
CT possible development in other sections. Every
part of a community feels the Gripping effect of
acknowledgment of another part, as every part
may be nourished by the red blood of neighboring
prosperity
1t is our first duty to see that every part of the
city is making all possible progress. Then, as
part of the county, we must be concerned about the
development in every section of the county. Polk
county should feel keen interest in the growth of
the rest of the state, and Florida should concern
itself about progress anywhere in the country, and
the United States should care what happens or
fails to happen in the rest of the world.

u.s. The faith and hope we place in dope no
knowledge ever throttles what faith we have
in pills and saive, and everything in bottles! The
wise men say, Throw drug away and you'll be

A TALE OF THE SEA

No mere intensely interesting story has ever been
told by any newspaper than that of the fate OF the
seaplane Miss Miami and her FIVE passengers off
the lever east coast of Florida. Special stories
accompanied by several illustrations, made the
service of the Miami Herald quite exceptional
Interest in the rescue of Pilot Moore after more
than fifty hours in the open sea, lashed 10 the
wreck of his airship, was more than local because
of the personnel Of the passengers, the majority
from Kansas Graphic details rival, if they do not
excel, any word picture in recent years. But en-
deavorng to forget the narrowing story of suffer
ing and death and ceasing conjectures as to why
passing ships did not see the plight of the seaplanc
and its passengers there is this thought uppermost,
that the navigation of the air WILL despite these
tragic incidents, go CT and on to perfection. The
history and development of aviation have been
marked by human sacrifice. Today thousands of
people being transported in safety through the
air, to such an extent that aerial transportation is
now locked upon as most matter-ot-fact propo-
sition. Who would. say dozen years ago, have
believed it possible that flying ships would be able
to transport passengers from the mainland of Flor
ida to the Bahama Islands across the Gulf Stream,

from Miami to Nassau, Journey by boat con-
Stunning practically an entire day? The same is
true Of the journey between Key West and Ha-
vana these being exceptional over-water trips now
On regular schedule. The point is this-that the
fa:e of the Miss Miami ard the loss Of her five
passengers, does not mean that aerial navigation
is not safe as almost any ether People take
risks every day in entrusting themselves to the
tender mercics Of railway trains and automobiles
and they will continue to do so though there is
