ARE TO BE SEEN AT
WATERFRONT OF MEAcHAM
TRACT

waterfront of the Meacham tract,
the creation of which was COM

growing rapidly, and attracted a
large number If visitors yesterday,
all of whom were pleased and sur
prised at the increasing number

The cages for the birds and ami
mails are neat, nicely painted and
lastly arranged. The aquarium
is sufficiently large to contain
many specimens of fish and other
creatures of the sea, and the dis
play crates are so arranged that
the water Of the sea circulates
through the bars, thus affording
every natural advantage that ma
ture provides for the we;l-being of
dwellers of the deep.
While visitors realize that this
is merely a small beginning Of
what this valuable enterprise is to
be, they are highly pleased with
the progress being made, and the
promoters are being eomplimented
on every side.

permanent residence in Key West.
Mrs. Campbell is a noted writer,
dealing especially in feature stor-
les which receive wide publicity
through many periodicals in vari-

The resumption of activities in

DE MoLAY BUILDS
ARMOUR TO PROTECT
YOUNG FROM WRONG
By FRANK S. LAND
Founder of the Order

"De Molays and Boy Scouts
are rarely found in any court.
A real knowledge of citizen
ship, such as that afforded by
! the De Molay program, affords
splendid armor to protect
young people from tendencies
to go wrong.
''De Molay is for young men
between 16 and 81, a period
when formative influences are
most needed and most effec-
tice.
'sDe Molay is sponsored by
! Masonic bodies just as other
worthwhile movements are
sponsored by such bodies and
other organizations. 1t is
not a junior Masonic frater-
. nifty. De Moiay is ant;-vice
and pro-cit:zen in its funda-
! menta s. It's sole idea is to
3 aid young men to secure
better knowledge of their fu-
: ture duties as citizens, so that
: when they attain their majori-
: ties they viii enter manhood's
: estate with definite knowledge
: of their powers and response
: bilities. There are two de-
2 grees in the order, Initiatory
and De Molay."

LEGION OF HONOR HAS
 SCANDAL OF ITS OWN
French Official To Expose All. He Says After Being
 Arrested

Paris, Dec. 30--A scandal over some recent awards of the coveted legion of honor was threatened to- day
 The newspapers announce that NJ. Ruotte. one of the secretaries in the ministry of commerce. arrested on a charge of demanding 100000 francs for each legion of honor dec oration, has decided to bare his knowledge of the matter.
 M. Ruotte Is understood, the pa pers say, to have transmitted to the ministry of justice list Of at least twenty new legionnaires who, he aI- legged, had not sufficient qualitica- tions for the honor but whose nom- nations were imposed by prominent parliamentarianS.
 He hinted that one honored with the red ribbon of the legion had been condemned to two years im- prisonment for bankruptcy; anoth- CT. was decorated for twenty years direction of industrial enterprise. although he was only 32 years old, and still another was be-ribboned despite the fact that he figured In police reports for trafficking with the enemy during the war.
 It is charged that Ruotte used two intermediates in his alleged bartering of decorations. Both these persons are also In custody.
