"MANY A MICKLE MAKES
A MUCKLE"
By LAURA MILLER
t%****+***+*++++*%+*+++**.
q. 1929. by Laura Miller

If Old-Lady Fortune ever provided
you with an automobile headed way
south on the Dixie highway, you dis
covered clean whiteand-green town
which set you to wondering who had
hand in making Orlando, Fla. un-
usual.
Well, one Of the makers, who yet in
sists that her part Is only a minor
one, Is named Julia Chapman. It's
the spirit she's put into her two Jobs
rather than the size of her bank ac-
count that you find yourself interested
In. For she sells tickets In the rail-
road station and insurance and loans
on those white Orlando houses. Those
sound like une1citing occupations to
carry on In the home town, don't
they? Unlikely to bring success or
fame or even contentment?
Miss Chapman developed the habit
Of doing the little things to the best
Of her ability. AS just one result, the
card of her insurance company now
carries in the upper right-hand corner,
Julia K. Chapman, Sec. and Treas"
Orlando. a village when little Julia
Chapman, twelve years old. was Or
phaned, as a winter resort now at
tracts thousands of tourists. Miss
Chapman sees in her ticket office work
not a monotonous. hateful job, but a
chance to help all who enter the Of
fee; an opportunity to take especial
care Of the great number Of the white
haired who come hunting sunshine to
warm old bones or to cure deep-seated
old-age diseases.
She must have made pleasant
memory In the minds Of many of the
10000 who annually pass her window.
For she has discovered that all over
the United States have spread stories
Of the efficiency Of her office.
The war crystallized this reputa-
tion. Uncle Sam. through the railroad
administration, beckoned a lean finger
at Julia Chapman and said, "I need
you" A ticket sellers school for;
young women was established at At
lanta. Miss Chapman trained the girls
to help win the war by selling rail-
road tickets-not just any way, but
Julia Chapman's way.
Whatever success and recognition
have come. she feels. are based on the
fact that Il have made good in the
town I've lived in since l was nine
years old. A young woman in a Flor
ida town has great advantages she
could not find In a strange city. Here
she can grow and expand as the town
does"

Slight Jar Will Ruin
Your Aneroid Barometer

That seemingly irresistible longing
to tap the barometer is responsible for
the running Of something like ninety
five out Of every one hundred Of the
instruments. Many people give thelr
barometer friendly tap to send 1t on
bit In the direction of "Fair"-everJ
time they glance at 1t. This tapping
leads to the instrument losing much
of its sensitiveness and a great deal
Of Its accuracy.
The aneroid barometer, which is the
type most generally In use, is, by Its
construction, a delicate instrument In
essence 1t consists of a cylindrical
metal box. from which all air has been
extracted, fitted with thin lid of cor
rugated metal. 1t is the pressure onI
this lid, giving it a certain degree OIL
concavity, which is reflected, by deli
cate system of levers, by the pointer
on the dial read by the observer.
A barometer of the aneroid typeI
tells the truth, by its reflection OIL
changes in the air pressure, to mel
best of its ability.-London Mail.

FREAKISH GOVERNMENT

ISN'T it queer? The president of the United States
must sign the appointment of fourth class postmaster
of Pounk and the senate of the United States sit
in solemn session and approve the appointment. Uncle
Sam is not going to let fourth class postmaster get
away with few postage stamps without taking due
ton But the secretary of department of the
ment can sign away Teapot Dome forest reserve

ident, Congress anyone. If the would
tn it could spend the 100 years investigating the
scandals in government The people have been asleep.
They have forgotten the wholesome advice of the
fathers that Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty"
The people have become interested in side
than in the main principles of government Everybody
wants congress to build the roads and take the
railroad problems and protect the health of the babies
when the obvious duty of is merely

national defense and regulate the relations between

half of what is doing and the city

Big Spring of Fresh
Sulphur Water in Sea

Bubbling up out of the ocean from a
depth of 125 feet, big spring of fresh
sulphur water, two miles off the coast
Of Florida and eight miles south of st.
Augustine, was recently surveyed by
experts of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. Long known to resi-
dents of st. Augustine and marked on
charts, the spring has been the source
of speculation for years.
A short time ago the government
scientists anchored directly over the
troubled waters of the sea spring and
proceeded to investigate it. The wa
ter sampled was about the same tenn
perature as the surrounding Atlantic,
but the, tremendous size and force of
its geyserlike upwelling was plainly
apparent at the surface. The ocean
floor surrounding the spring is only
about fifty-five feet deep, but the
spring rises from a depression which
measures more than 125 feet deep.
strong odor of sulphur pervades
the atmosphere around the spring and
the force of the water was such that
it was only with difficulty that the ship
was prevented from being pushed
away by the bubbling waters. Sam
pies of the waters at various depths
were secured and forwarded to the
United States bureau of chemistry for
analysis.-Kansas City Star.

Steel Buildings Are

New York skyscrapers are the SAT.

good deal about lightning. Tall build

tion must be solved. When the thun-
der lets go its opening salvo, and the
lightning begins to rip, how should
the storm-ridden reach the refuge of a
big building with the promise Of safe
ty in its steel bones?
What racing and chasing there
would be to towering temples of bust
ness should the good mans pronounce
ment have wide acceptance. Folks
afoot might lose ground In the middle
distances, but on form they should
hold the advantage at the finish, as the
off-chance Of finding a place to park
raises the odds against the motorists
It's all well enough to point out safe
ty in skyscrapers, but the attainment
Of that security seems rather difficult
and doubtful. Whatever became Of
that fellow Ajax? He is reported to
have had speaking acquaintance
with lightning. True. he was rather
reckless with his talk. and probably
bad risk, but he did have faith in
his immunity to shock. An arresting
figure, Ajax-perhaps the very first
of the irreconcilables to stand up fos
