Visitors See a
Better Florida
South Had Bad Winter, But Is
Gradually Rebuilding,
They Declare

Those who left for the sunny
South with the coming of the cold
weather are returning and opening
their homes in this city with the
arrival of the spring months.
Florida, in their opinion, had one
Of the worst winters in years the
three months which have just
passed. The great storm which
visited the lower Florida coast
line the middle of September re-
suited in great losses to investors
and spectators in southern real
estate and practically halted every
thing in the building line.
Despite The storm, there was a
gr, at irflux from the other states,
but a large majority of these were
workinglnen who made the trip
believing that the damaged areas
affected by the great storm would
be at once rebuilt.
Many of these workers were
greatly disappointed, and were
forced to return in the middle of
the Florida season because of the
duliness. The weather was especial
ly fine throughout the winter
months, returning visitors report.
Florida will start again to build
up. they believe. although they do
not look forward to such a boom
as has been underway in the South
the past three or four four years
before the winter just passed. The
building Of the future, they believe,
will be that of firm, solid advance
ment. void of speculative nature
a building which will again bring
the south back to is one time
place.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Duckworth
and Mrs. Mary E. Johnson have re-
turned to their home ON Doughty
road from Miami, Florida, where
they passed the winter. They made
the trip north by machine in five
days, more than 400 miles the first
day. Mrs. Duckworth will be re-
membered as Mrs. Jennie Gouldy

Amethyst Superstitions

The amethyst was worn in an.
Gent Egypt. Amethyst scarabs
were highly esteemed by Egyptian
soldiers, who wore them on the bat.
tlefield as charm against death
and the shafts of war. This prac.
tice survived into the Middle ages
when the amethyst was regarded
as the stone sacred to st. Val.
entine, who is said always to have
carried one.
A powerful talisman for the pro-
lection of riders and their horses
was winged image of a hores en-
graved upon an amethyst. A mod
ern version of this belief is that
the ownership Of an amethyst will
give vigilance to business men, and
sportsmen and soldiers calmness In
the hour of danger.

Testimony to Value
of Home Environment

Tests recently concluded to de-
termiDe the moral and religious ef-
fects Of various agencies on chill
dren have shown that home en-
vironment goes further In shaping
character than any other single In
fluence. Within the home circle,
the influence of the mother is the
strongest element.
This is true because It is a fact
Of child psychology that ones
course in life is pretty well mapped
out and charted during the first
seven years. Study a child at
seven and you viii have a minia-
lure picture Of the future man or
woman. Most of these first seven
years. Of course, represent that Pc
Rod Of childhood when almost all
influences are negligible excepting
those Of the home.
A famous welfare worker on
the New York bowery has found
that almost without exception the
human derelicts who have been
rescued and regenerated through
his efforts came originally from
homes In which there was a
wholesome atmosphere. No matter
how low they may have sunk, the
seed of goodness implanted with
in them in their childhood homes
never died.-Thrift Magazine.

Mirages II, Ocean,

Mirages are frequent under IA
vorable atmospheric conditions on
the southern and eastern sides of
the ice regions, where the cold and
warm waters mix. Bergs often
appear inverted and assume fantas-
tic shapes, causing them to appear
much larger than they prove to
be when close by. There is a rec
ord of berg the image of which
was sighted over twenty miles away
in the mixed waters south of the
tail of the Great Banks, appearing
first as three bergs, one set upon
the other, with the mirage contin-
ually changing shape as the ship
approached.
An angry denial is often con-
fession of guilt.
