before Easter. Two truck loads
of boxes and barrels Of sacked
candy eggs were scattered. Then
different sections were marked
for the different ages Of the chill
dren. And when the word was
given the ground was cleared as
if by magic.
Out in the country, though,
where Flora teaches they really
hid them under palmettos, punches
of grass and in the sand. And we
all thought we were children
again while hunting.
How to Make Money
The real estate men, and that in
cludes about half the population,
are a very important item in most
any place in Florida now, Orlando
being no exception. The land is
being bought in tracts Of hun
dreds Of acres and divided into
lots and sold and a great many
have become very wealthy this
way. A group Of millionaires buy
a few acres, get a dredge to make
the lake exactly round, transplant
a few palms, pave the streets and
walks and sell the bare lots for
from $1,000 to $4,000. This has
occurred just across the road
from US and what was just brush
and trees when we came is now
Orlando Highlands.
Tourist Camps
Some of the tourist campers
have left now but many will re
main in camp all summer. They
build a cabin under a tree or
floor and screen their tent. There
were about 1900 in the camp dur
ing the winter.
One lady just returned from
Miami and said that land they
wouldn't give $1,000 an acre for

acre this year. This property was
situated right out in the brush.
The Floral Festival here in March
was a beautiful sight and quite a
celebration. Wanda's school won
first prize for the best human flag.
Sunday Concerts and Lectures
There are no open shows here
on Sunday but a band concert in
the park every day including Sun
day and an open forum in the
largest theatre Sunday afternoon
some very good talks and
music were given. But those who.
think Orlando is too slow can go
on to Miami where the minimum
speed limit is % miles an hour.
Bathing Season Opens
The bathing season is beginning
here again now and barbecues al
so. The Sunshine club that was
so popular all winter will now give
way for water sports. The ALI

the way and I don't blame them,

Poet Longfellow's
BLACKSMITH Shop"
Purchased by Ford

Uxbridge, Mass, Feb. 1S.-(AP)-
The old Caleb Taft blacksmith shop,
immortalized by Longfellow in his
The Village Blacksmith Shop hiss
been purchased by Henry Ford. 1t is
the plan of Mr.. Ford that the building
shall be added to his collection of
his buildings and objects of historical
interest in the vicinity of Wayside Inn,
Sudbury.
The purchase of the blacksmith shop
was made by w. w Taylor, a personal
representative of MIR. Ford.
An atmosphere reminiscent of the
days of early New England surrounds
the old blacksmith shop. 1t was built
in 1887 by Jappet Taft, grandfather of
the late Caleb Taft. For three genera
lions the shop was operated by mem
hers of the Taft family.
Many years ago when Henry w
Longfellow was making trip through
this section he was inspired by the
picture of Mr.. Taft as he stood before
the shop forge. Later he wrote his
famous poem. After reading the poem
Mr.. Taft took out parts of the original
forge and, fashioning them into a min
iature forge, sent it to Longfellow.
1t is the plaE of the Ford interests
to move the building in sections to Sud-
bury. where it will be rebuilt in its
original form.

Engineer and
Fireman Killed
In Crash of Trains

WATERFOWL, n. Y, Feb. 1S.-(AP)-
In crash between a passenger and
freight trains on the New York Central
Railroad near Castorland station today.
Engineman VIII Bell and Fireman
Richard Quinn of the passenger train
were instantly killed and about 20 9TH
er trainmen and passengers injured.
Wallace Jones Of the passenger
train crew saw, as his train approached
the Castorland station, that there was
no train on the siding usually occupied
by the freight. He pulled the emer-
gency lever, lessenng the speed of the
train and greatly reducing the force of
the impact as the passenger crashed
into the freight. His act is believed
to have prevented a much more Sc
rious accident.
Three locomotives, two of them on
the freight and the other on the pas
senger train, were crushed like so many
cylinders of paper. Two mail cars on
the passenger train were toppled into
ditch and George Ashmore, mail
clerk, was injured, possibly internally.
The freight train was standing on
the main track ready to pull onto the
siding when the crash came. All of the
freight crew jumped to safety and es-
capped serious injury.

Helen Wills returned to the tennis
courts today for the first time since
her valiant. though losing, battle of

although the effects of that struggle

CLEVER W|NSLOW
TEAM VISITING

High school aggregation is coming

intentions of taking over Cony Highs
basket ball team and incidentally an

Winslow is coached by Billy Mans

ball down Jonesport way and who
has introduced the Jonesport style
of whirlwind attack into the up

Lenglen Received
Offer to Capitalize
Ability on Court

Nice, Feb. 1S.-(AP)-All the ten
mis- harps along the Riviera are
awaiting another match in singles
between Suzanne Lenglen and Helen
Wills. And it now seems highly prob
able that, they will not wait in vain.
The prospects are that the two girl
champions will come together again
in the Nice tournament next month.
Suzanne asserts that she surely
will play in the singles, and Miss
Wills already has announced that
she will carry out her Riviera pro-
gram, which embraces the tourna-
ment next, month in Suzanne's home
town. Both girls rested yesterday
from their strenuous efforts of the
preceding day at Cannes. where the
French champion was victorious in a
hard match over the American title
holder.
why shouldn't l be nervous" Mile
Lenglen asked the correspondent last
night. DO YOU think l mmade OF
wood? Bullet headed prize fighters
and don't mean to include Jack
Dempsey in that class-without
nerves and stolid even lose sleep on
the eve of a fight. Was there ever
match advertised as much as mine
with Miss Wills? Were we not treat
ed like two prize fighters, from the
cinema right down to the bill
posters"
Asked why she had excepted
Dempsey. Suzanne replied:
Il had lunch with Dempsey and his
wife while they Were in Paris. he
is a gentleman, and she lady"
Her first question was as TO how
Miss Wills was feeling and when told
she. too, was resting and had OBJ
tanned a postponement of her singles
match at Beaulieu, Suzanne said with
much sympathy in her voice:
Poor little girl. l know3 how it
feels. Look at me. I've stayed in bed
all day. But I'm getting to be an old
woman, while she's a mere child. l
will be q next May.
Continuing the French girl added
that if she ever lost her title there
was no one to whom she would rath-
er lose it than to the California
girl.
Suzanne declared that she was not
so conceited as to think that she
would not be beaten some time. This
seemed to depress her somewhat, and
NJ. Lenglen pulled the coverlet up
around her and told her she should
try to get a little sleep.
Her father spoke of an offer of
$4,000 he had received from an
American promoter for Suzanne to
play five matches as professional
in the United States. He said he
would like to assure Suzanne's fu-
ture against want; the family was
comfortably fixed, but not rich, and
he was getting old.
Twenty thousand dollars Is a lot
of francs, and it would be wealth for
my little girl" said NJ. Lenglen.
But we cannot turn professional:
tennis is not boxing. Suzanne would
not hear of it,

Norwegian Pole
Vaulter Going Good
On Indoor Track

New York, Feb. 1S-(AP)-Inch by
inch the bar rises as tall, smiling
Charley Hoff of Norway, world
champion pole vaulter, scales heights
that American athletes have found
impossible.
Last night in Brooklyn at the Nor
wegian Turn Society games Hoff
raised himself 10 feet. four inches
from the floor with the aid Of his
16foot bamboo cane, just four inches
higher than any American has risen.
This was his fifth lifting of indoor
figures and only twice in his record
attempts has he moved the cross
piece.
This was not all. Black haired
Charley finished second to Vincent
Lally of New York in 600 metre
race and finished ahead of the little
star who gained fame at George
town, Johnny Holden. Hoff iran his
legs off" in his chase of Lally and
track officials - ''cted trouble for
Harold Osborn of the Illinois A. c.,
in the runs when he meets Hoff in
series of events at the Knights of
Columbus games next month.
