PoulatiOn Mostly
Spanish YbOr City, Fla,

Tampa, Fla, Nov. 3.-(AP)-1bor
City. is the center of the cigar indus
try in Tampa and of it's population
more than $4,000 people are of the
Spanish race. A great many of them
use the Spanish language almost ex-
clusively.
Ybor City was named after one OF
the progenitors of the Ybor family,
early settlers in Tampa. 1t appears
as a city transplanted from Spain. The
traditional love of the Spanish Tor
music and drama resulted in the erec-
ton of the Centre Asturiano, hand
some opera and club house. where
Metropolitan stars have frequently
entertained.
Other Latin elements also are found
in Ybor City. notably the Italians,
who have built beautiful auditorium
as an adjunct to their club.
Local activity in real estate has af-
fected Ybor City and resulted In the
displacement of some landmarks, but
the Latin element pursues it's way UNI
influenced by such material matters as
land values.

(Whiting in Boston Herald)
When a New Highlander travelling
in some far place hears the words
New England" he has a clear pic
ture of what-that means. A very
splendid vision comes up in his mind.
and he has a great longing. But if
anyone asked him, or her, to describe
exactly what New England meant,
it might be difficult to offer a clear
definition or explanation. New Eng
land has so many things. One of
the parts of the picture is an apple
tree.
New England is apple trees, and
naples, and oaks, and towering elms
sweeping the skies with gestures of
greatness; it is a spread of green in
June, a sweep of crimson in October
1t is dancing, dainty birch leaves,
twinkling soundless bells to greet the
summer, waving soft farewell to fall.
1t is granite pillared hillsides, tenn
pied mountains; sweet valleys sing
ing with the voice of running water;
cedar-dotted slopes, whispering pine
woods; dark, mysterious spruce
thickets; salt spray f1inging over
sand beaches or crashing cliffs; 1t IS
white clapboard houses with green
blinds; or yellow, square, farmsteads
with a red barn; the tang of wood
smoke in sharp, clean air; maple sap
boiling in the sugar house, deep in
the maple orchard: and it is lilacs,
peonies, wild aSterS, goIdenrod,
Black Eyed Susans nodding in the
bayfield,, buttercups, daisies, clover
with the hum of bees above it. And
it is apple trees.

Monte Carlo
Expects Gay And
Lucrative Season

Monte Carlo, Oct. 16-(A. p. by
MaiD-Monte Carlo has finished its
summer house-cleaning and brighter.
gayer than ever is ready to receive
the thousands of visitors during the
coming season.
Important alterations have been
made in the casino, the most striking
of which being the enlargement of the
popular 'roulette" rooms at the ex-
pense of the exclusive "baccarat" sa-
Ions. The new nagement-which
took charge little over a year ago
has realized that more money flowed
into the Golfers of the casino from the
tables where five franc bet may be
made than from the fashionable inn
er rooms, where a 1000 franc wager
is looked upon with some disdain by
the blase croupiers.
Out of the gross receipts of ITO, $780,
900 francs taken in at Monte Carlo
Casino during the last year, more
than 100000 came from the cheap
roulette tables.
Roulette is the main reason that at
tracts visitors to Monte Carlo. The
Casino at Cannes, under the manage
ment of Eugene Cornuche, the boss"
of Deauville. has been competition for
Monte Carlo since the war. The
Cannes Casinos receipts reached a
little over 60,000,000 francs last year.
but Cornuche has given up hope Of
ever catching up with Monte Carlo.
Casinos in France are not per-
mitted to operate roulette wheels and
like Cornuche. the proprietors of the
gambling plants at Nice. Mention and
other Riviera resorts feel that no
real competition can be made to
Monte Carlo, as long as the little
principality enjoys the EXCLUSIVELY of
the roulette privileges.
The Monte Carlo expenses in the
last fiscal year amounted to less than
50000.000 leaving a net profit of 6S.-
S76,S10 francs, two-thirds of which
only were paid out in dividends to the
shareholders. They received 600
francs as dividend for a. 500 franc
share, nominal value.
The balance of the money was ex-
pended in the construction of a new
building for the installation of the
Sporting club; a new cinema house
and theatre and the erection of a
summer casino at Larvotto. Ten new
tennis courts have also been set out,
six at the fiesta Tennis club and four
at the Condamine.

HANDS OFF GOAL POLICY

President Coolidge yet insists on
his hands-off coal policy. The time is
fast approaching when the pressure
upon him will get to be tremendous,
but that will not change the alterna-
tive as it now exists. That is. keep
hands off and get along as best the
consumer may until operators and
miners settle their controversy, or, on
the other hand, submit to arbitration
under which both parties to the quar-
rel would get something and the con-
sumner would get left.
Surely the consumer of anthracite
cannot expect those who burn soft
coal to contribute by their taxes to
government ownership and manage
ment of the mines for the benefits of
those who will only burn hard coal.
AS to appointing commission to in
vestigate we are reminded that Con-
gress has as yet done nothing with
the report of the commission ap-
pointed by President Harding, that
spent good money in securing data,
which probably would apply now as
well as then.
The President sees, as must most
sensible people, that it is to the ad-
vantage of the consumers not to do
that which both discredited parties to
the controversy are striving to Sc
cure, and that is government inter-
ference. There will nevertheless be a
lot of grooming and political fireworks
. as the cold wakes, stronger. If the
government yields the consumers will
pay the bill, and a handsome one it
will be.

Creation of New
Currency Faces
Hungarian Parliament

Budapest, Oct. 1.-(AP)-Creation
of a new currency, the establishment
of the federal budget on a gold basis
and the adjustment in reevaluation are
three problems to occupy the attention
of the Hungarian Parliament when it
reconvenes this fall.
Decision as to what shall be the
unit Of currency must be made first.
Some favor the shilling. now used by
both Danzig and Austria, as the mon
etary unit. Others believe that the
crown should be brought back to its
pre-war value.
The budget question will be easily
satisfied after the new currency has
been selected For the present the bud
get, while balanced, is still on paper
crown basis.
In reevaluating the war loans and
other securities in which the people
invested before and during the war,
the Hungarians will be guided in a
great measure by the experience of
Germany with her resvaluation loans.

MY Sailor BOY
Oh. I love a little sailor boy
And a sailor boy loves me;
And some day we'll go sailing
Out DER the deep blue sea.
My sailor boy is brave
And my sailor boy is strong,
And Ger the stiffest gale that blows
You can hear his hearty song.
Or when the moon has risen high.
And the tide laps on the beach,
oh! all the arts of sailor man
He tries to me to teach.
Oh! I have learned to tack and weigh
And how to hoist sail

Predict storm or gale.
