WASHINGTON. Oct, 6.-United
States Postal inspectors have been or
dered 10 clean up INSCRIPTIONS
promoters swindling the public of
hundreds of thousands in Florida
land speculations, Chief Inspector
Rush d. Simmons said today.
A score of concerns and individ-
uals operating the Florida subdivi-
sion game are now under investiga-
ton for alleged use Of the mails to
defraud and others have been re-
ported to the Department, Simmons
said.
Plans have been made to reinforce
the crew Of eight inspectors now in
Florida to speed up further investi-
cation.
"Swindlers Of all sorts and de-
scriptions are in Florida now and
will go there in increasing numbers,
Simmons said. "They always follow
a boom such as is now on and will
cause thousands of people to lose
all their savings. We are going to
do what we can to protect the public
against them but realize that many
of them are able to work so fast 1t
is impossible to check-mate them in
advance.
Public Is Warned
"Within sixty days we will doubt
less have a number of cases ready
for prosecution. Meantime / would
warn the public against buying any
thing until all representations made
by the salesman have been care
fully checked up and the buyer has
actually seen the property for him
self"
Simmons said many operators who
are flimflaming the public have no
offices in Florida, but are working
entirely outside the State.
Cooperation with Simmons agents
has been assured by Herman Damn,
president of the Florida Develop
ment Board, the State Chamber Of
Commerce, who said:
II have been informed that with
in two months United States agents
will begin a wholesale prosecution
under the Federal postal laws OF
Florida real estate concerns.
"SeriOus Menace"
1--WE realize that we are being
overrun by INSCRIPTIONS promoters,
cheap mail.order realtors, rotten
stock statesmen of every descrip-
ton.
"These business locusts within
and without the State present one
of the most serious menaces now
confronting legitimate business. We
must act quickly and promptly to
stop the nuisance.
Some of the things which are
now being printed, said and done by
these Indicating concerns are go
ing to hurt the interests of every
honest property holder in Florida.
These promoters have already caused
losses and will cause more which
will reflect against the State.
UNLESS we act fast, we will be
obliged within ninety days to give

Nearly every man and woman has lived at least

mendous odds, of success won through sacrifice,
of failure rather than compromise with conscience,
stories of endless devotion, and of boundleSs love,
of hate that burns and sears the soul, of men
ruined through women's wes, of other men made
great throug woman's love- of women who risked
their souls for they loved and lost won.

crew and commander would have saved the Shenandoah.
 The L-1 had left her shed near Hamburg early in the afternoon of Sept. 9, in the face of bad weather signs. A squall caught the ship, al though she had maneuvered to avoid it. She then was at a 1500 foot alti- tude, Is miles off Heligoland, over the ocean.
 A heavy circular squal with a shift of wind of 16 points, torrential rain, and a sudden drop of tempera- ture occurred, the account related. "The air currents were vertical as well as horizontal and before her fatal plunge the ship was lifted up and thrown down through a range of 5000 feet.

 The personnel stuck to their posts but the ship was quite beyond control. Wireless messages for as sistance were sent out and started the Hanover and other ships to the rescue.

A BRILLIANT RESCUE IN THE PACIFIC

Again a thrill from the briny deep-thls time a rescue of alrmen by a submarine! A more bizarre alignment never occurred in naval history. The commander and crew of the seaplane PN-9 No. i, which scared into the Pacific ten days ago, were transferred In safety to the submarine R-4, and the merry com- pany at once headed for Honolulu with the undamaged seaplane In tow of the submarine.
 The heroic sky-pllots. who were thought to have perished, are alive and well; the lost have been found; and the nation. which had sorrow fully regretted the human sacrifice of Commander Rodgers and his four men in the ill-starred attempt to fly to Hawaii, today rejoices in the happy outcome. the safe arrival in port of call.
 The rescue was in the nick of time; few days more and the intrepid airmen would have toppled over from hunger and exhaustion. Today they are happy and inclined to joke about the experience, and with the courageous spirit of the navy personnel, are ready for the next flight wherever the powers that be may direct.
 Hope had been all but abandoned by the observing citizens at home but the sea-wasps of the navy con tinued combing the blue expanse ol the Pacific around the Hawaiian islands. The rescue was unexpected and a thrilling climax The men arc to be congratulated upon being brought back to the fold, and the nation is to be congratulated upon retaining this heroic commander and crew within the ranks of the living.

WHEN A CHILD FIRST GOES TO SCHOOL

Again the smiling schoolboy face is in our midst, the youngster thrill- ed with his first attendance at the universal fount of the three R's. The first week Is the easiest; when the novelty wears off school is re- garded as an evil that sadly inter feres with the opportunities for play.
 The first time youngster goes to school is in realty an epoch in his life more important than is usually realized. It marks the time when the carefree life of childhood ends and the realities of existence begin. No longer Is life merely a matter of yielding fun with daddy, mama and the playmates in the block; in- stead, there comes the taskmaker, the school teacher who gently guides the child spirit and forces the mind to learn the useful primary necessities of civilization. Instead of mother goose stories and the won derful tales on mothers knee at bed time, comes the juXtaposltlon Of hieroglyphics that teacher terms the alphabet; other hieroglyphics are termed Triggers and they so far beyond the dozen or so that ambl- tious parents impressed upon the plastic brains of offspring before the school door yawned, And the as- tonished youngster suddenly learns that he is supposed to remember all the hicroglyphics on the black board and in the large print in the books. In time, he is told, he will know them just like "big people,; but it certainly feels hard to make a start on this road up parnassus. It would seem that a teacher ol first grade toddlers would get lo1 of fun out of the job. Who can note the eagerness of such children, theii faith in the unfailing wisdom oi their elders, and the astounding conclusions enunciated in the mon 1 osyllabic simplicity of child English without contributing an endles: round of smiles.

AMUNDSEN'S NEXT POLAR FLIGHT

When Amundsen recently return ed from the ice bound north he stated penetration of the polar re- gions by air is a job for dirigibles and not for airplanes. Large num- bers of citizens, armed only with the statistics of performances, agreed with him.
 But since that time the Shenan- doah came to grief in Ohio and if there has been a change in the pub lies conception of airship possibili- ties it has been that the dirigibles may be no more efficient in a dash to the pole than the airplanes.
 Amundsen, however, sticks to his promise, and apparently has com pleted a contract with an Italian firm for use of a dirgible of the semi-rlgid type, which is com promise between the rigid Zeppelin type and the non-rigid Parseval type. The ship will fly the Norwe- gan flag. although there will be an Italian crew.
 When the navy department plan ned to send the Shenandoah into the polar regions Secretary Wilbur finally cancelled the scheme on the score that an accident would result in loss of life. The Italian govern ment doesn't seem to feel that way about the fate or glory in store for the Italian crew.
