women make me weary" heatedly exclaimed a young man VIII. IN
an unguarded moment had allowed himself to be drawn into a discus
sion of the fair SCI. Not that l hold anything against them on M
own account. In fact, they've always treated me rather wen. But
they're SO G2rn mean to each other! The other day at tea witnessed
the meeting between two women admittedly antagonistic. My dear!
cried one, You here? How lovay' cooed the other. And the two rushed
to arms as effusively as if they had been long lost friends instead OF
almost sworn enemies. A fine little exhibition of treachery i was and
most of us looking on knew it, Trust a woman? How could any one
who really knew her? If ever l write an editorial l shall take for my
subject 'Womans Inhumanity to Womanl
As a matter of fact the young man told US nothing new suggested
nothing we we're not aware Of
Not once but often have W e noticed women being darn mean to
each other.
And if the whole truth and nothing but the truth be told we are
not tlirdLy, unequiyocaEy in love with the fair e in mass, Sfea as
our fondness is for a number of it's individual members.
This being so, we cannot consistently condemn the younger mans
attitude. AS far as he goes he is certainly right The only trouble is
he does not go far enough to mark and to make exceptions to the rule.
His is entirely too sweeping a generalization. If his vision was not a
uife misted By prejudice-possibly by tradiion-he would undoubted-
ly notice that surely, however slowly, a change is taking place in
womans attitude to woman. In it there is less jealousy and suspicion
and more good craftsmanship.
The whole new social life of women has contributed enormously
to the genuine liking of women for women" declared iona Gale in a
magazine >"You cannot be on the same park board, school board, rec
reaion committee o r sanitary commission and spend much time dis
liking the other women members. There is too much to do. -, Women
who once worked over solitary washtubs and cooking ranges, in becom-
ing sociaized to share interests and contacts with one another have
women; and they like the discovery"
Evidently Miss Gale believes ignorance has been the breeder OF the
ills against which have been brought complaint and trusts to enighten-
ment to cure them.

still. There are developments,
towns, large cities, overbuilt in the
excitement of the boom and with
no sufficient economic foundations,
as yet, to carry them through the
period of deflation. Many who now
are nominal owners will not be able
to hold what they have. They are
still drastic readjustments to be
made. All that is the inevitable
aftermath of the Gold Rush of
any Gold Rush. After a degree of
pessimism among those caught in

still stands, the Gulf Stream still
flows, the snow-dodgers are be-
ginning their annual hegira, the
newly-cleared lands are greening
with the crops of thousands of new
farmers; and so Florida, with a
cold towel around her head, a not
altogether regretful memory of a
glorious escapade, courageously
faces the humdrum prospect of
hard work and steady progress.

The Florida boom is over and
the state has settled down to nor
malcy for the first time since the
Gold Rush began in Miami in 1922.
What is left in Florida, then?
After the passage of the boom and
the hurricane, what?
Nothing spectacular. Nothing
more dramatic than the shifting of
Americas center of population a
few degrees south. The movement
into Florida of permanent settlers,
as distinguished from easy money
seekers, is proceeding at an &C
celebrated rate. That is one of the
lasting benefits accruing from the
boom and its attendant publicity.
That, and the opening up to settle
ment of millions of acres which
were inaccessible before the sud
den flow of wealth filled the states
Golfers to overflowing and made
possible the projection-and com
pletion-of its program for the
privilege of carrying the people
and products of these newly-opened
regions.
For Florida still has the lures
it has always had. to draw popu-
lation from the North, with the
added lure of easier access and less
onerous conditions for the new
settler to face, than before the
Gold Rush began. The Gulf Stream
still hugs Florida in it's warm en-
brace and countless acres of un-
titled farm lands. like a great out
door dollhouse, yield their crops
when the Northern markets are
bare and prices highest.
Given those two items people are
as certain to continue coming to
Florida, for winter warmth, for
easier living, as the Gulf Stream is
to keep flowing.
Northern money has not quit
flowing into Florida. The tourists
bring it, the settlers bring it; the
buyers of Florida's oranges and
grapefruit, her celery and lettuce,
early potatoes and strawberries,
send it in at the rate of a hundred
millions a year and more. Nor are
those the only sources.
Northern investment capital has
not ceased to flow into Florida. The
two outstanding factors in the
states development today are the
exploits of the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad, which has spent close to
$50,OOO,00O in building new lines in
Florida in the last two years, and
the hugh undertaking of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS at Venice. on the Gulf Coast.
The Seaboard began it's expansion
program while the Gold Rush was
at its highest, but it has not
~slackened its pace. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers,
which owns or controls nearly a
quarter of a billion of inventment
capital, bought $4,000 acres front
ing the Gulf between Fort Myers
and Sarasota and, exactly one year
ago, began burying money under
ground at the rate of a million a
month, preparing the way for
farmers to settle in the fertile back
country and furnish the foundation
for a beautiful, pre-planned city on
the Gulf.
The public has not stopped buy
ing Florida real estate; it has
merely stopped gambling with
Florida lots as chips.
