Information Booths for

Information Booths TOR
Tourists.
To promote the general welfare
and in a sense provide for the COM
mon defense in the matter of extor-
ton for food and shelter, the West
Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce
has instituted three information
booths in their city at the most ac-
cessible points. The cost of main
tanning these booths is estimated to
be $4,000 annually, but business
and health boht demand relief OF
congested conditions as the daily
hordes of tourists arrive. The city
tourist camp remains over-crowded
with population of 5000 because so
many spend several days in an almost
fruitless search for accommodations.
The rent and home situation will be
tabulated daily for the information
booths as we'll as the lists of available
accommodations in hotels, apart
ments and rooming houses.

Helpmeets in Hiding.
Many unprecedented positions for
women are being taken right along
through widows stepping into places
of power and trust that are vacated
by the death of their husbands. We
have a number of notable examples
in our political world, including the
governors position in two states.
Madame Curie had hardly been heard
of during her celebrated husbands
life vet she carried on his research
until the discovery of radium was the
result to her own great honor and
glory. Another woman, also of
France, though collaborating in her
husbands work, was unknown until
his death and is now filling the place
of the renowned Camille Flammarion
as director of great observatory and
as encouragement of the Astron-
omical society of France. Moreover,
she will complete and publish ten
volumes of scientific treatises he had
planned.

Dangerous to Babies.

The medical associations over the
country are warning mothers through
the press that stearate of zinc SO
much valued as busting powder
for delicate and chafed skin can be
very dangerous in the nursery, as
it too often falls into the hands of
babies and even inhaling it has had
fatal effects. 1t can easily produce
strangulation or cause bronchial
pneumonia so that the adults, too,
should be cautious about using it
near the face. The style of the con-
tainer is far from safe and the Amer
lean Medical association has re:o n.
mended a change in this. The sales
approach a million packages yearly.
Accidents reported have been 131
and fatalities 81 per cent OF these.

COUNCILMEN READY
TO PASS CITY LOAN
Action Expected to Be Taken
at Next Meeting-Seven
on Record.

Authorization of a temporary loan
to the city's general fund is certain
at next meetin gof city council, it
was learned by a pool Of seven
councilmen in the city today.
General sentiment of council mem
bers is that refusal Of the 100000
temporary loan requested until taxes
are paid will serve only to embarass
merchants to whom the city owes
bills and to halt the pay of 2 500 city
employees.
May Cut Loan
However, Councilmen Otto Ray
and Theodore j. Bernd expressed the
opinion that it may be possible to
reduce the amount of the loan.
Ray said he feared a part of the
money would be used to employ ad-
ditional men, selected by. William
H. Armitage political director of the
Shank administration, for their vote
controlling ability. These employees,
he said, he feared would work In
behalf of John l.. Duvall, Republican
candidate for mayor.
Ben H. Thompson, president of
city COUNCIL, said investigation has
convinced him there is no neces-
sity for special council meeting.
as he proposed Thursday, but that
he believed the council would pass
the loan ordinance at it's regular
meeting Aug. 3.
Those on Record
Councilmen in favor of the loan
are Thompson, Ray, Bernd, Walter
w. Wise, Ira l.. Bramblett, Hayden
Buchanan and William E. Clauer.
Thompson said he believed the
major thoroughfare plan, to direct
street improvements and construc-
ton for the next fifty years, should
either be adopted or defeated at
the next meeting.
Leadership of insurgent council
men assumed by Ray was challenged
by Buchanan today.
Ray has no authority to speak
for the majority faction" Buchanan
declared. 1--WE have minds of our
own and can make our decisions. l
think it would be exceedingly fool
ish to hurt business men and add
discomfort to city employees by hold
ing up this ordinance any longer" /"

He little realized that ne was in
itiating the most terrible catastrophe
in human history which profoundly
modified the map of the world and
the lives of all the Inhabitants.
Now, seven years after the end
Of the slaughter, there are more
men prepared and preparing for war
than in 1914. ~
Official figures secured by the
United Press from the League of
Nations in Geneva show there are
6,055, ,144 men in the standing armies
of fifty-nine nations.
Arms Race Revived
One of the contributing causes of
the great war-the competitive race
for supremacy in armaments-is to-
day actively revived. Now it is for
the supremacy Of the air. Great
Britain has prepared an air budget
of $77,565,0O designed to contest
Frances domination of the air.
Only seven years after the most
terrible of wars, nearly every
power of Europe and Osia is pre-
pairing for the next war. There is
great silent preparation. Here
and there daily are pOrtents
fraught with significance.
Throughout Europe the United
Press has collected at random few
of these portends-straws showing
which way the wind is blowing.
Herewith are only a few:
Sir Leming worthington- Evans,
British secretary of state for war, re-
plying to parliamentary questions,
said British scientists have killed
1,001 animals during the past year
in search for poisoning gases.
The latest preparation for the
eventuality of war is seen in the
British naval program announced
calling for sixteen cruisers in the
next five years. with nine destroyers
and six submarines annually. In
some quarters it is held that this
program may be the start of a new
race in armament-this time on the
basis of the ten thousand ton
cruiser.
