FLORIDA SPIRIT NEEDED ABROAD
  England Wants It to Boom Own Lands

London, March R--British visi- tors returning from Florida advocate the American boom spirit for the development Of the great open spaces of their Empire.
 Not since the great rush for Eng land nearly thousand years ago by William inc Conqucror and his nodesript horde of adventures has this country experienced anything like the Florida land boom. It will be remembered that William, as Duke of Normandy. and the leading royal realtor of his times, promised his followers choice town lots and country estates in King Harold s green little island across the chan nel. Supporters fioCked to his ban nCr.
 Today, however. the problem Of the British Isles, with q population of 47,00o,0 ,000 in an area little larger than California, Is 10 find suitable cmigrants for the unpcopled places of Canada, Australia and British Africa.
 The lure of Palm Beaches and Mi. amis beyond the seas is lacking. pi- oneering spirit seems non-existent, Surplus population prefers the gov ernment "dole"-uncmployment pay to possible hardships in the Cana dian Northwest or the Australian

Some of inc walls and floors ot these caves arc formed in part of pure rock salt and here the ancicnts conducted their salt mining. The workings, showing where large hlocks of salt were removed, are in the same condition of about @,0Of years ago.
