GREEK DIVERS
GET MILLIONS
FROM SPONGES
Thriving Industry On Shores Of
Western FlOriSa Rivals
That Of Greece

Tarpon Springs, Fla, Jan. s.
R-In quiet harbor on tho
shores Of Western Florida, an indus.
trious colony OF hardy Greeks has
built up thriving sponge business
which not only is the largest Of its
kind in this country, but rivals that
of ancient Greece.
Picturesque in its setting and laid
off by itself a. the edge of Tarpon
Springs, the colony, which sends
divers cropping ponderously over the
floor of the sea for commodity
used throughout the world, has de.
veloped in the last 20 years an in.
dustry which nets its workers more
than a million dollars a year.
Most Of the workers own homes
and orange groves, while the banks
and stores are operated by men OF
their own race. Buyers, represent
ing countries in all parts cf the
world, congregatc ut the auction
sales, held in the local sponge ex-
change, the seats in which arc pur-
chased by dealers, like those Of the
New York Stock Exchange.
Bidding Is Secret
No verbal bidding, however, is
done at the auctions. After in
speeding the huge piles of spongcs
the buyers submit bids on slips OF
paper to the exchange head, who
awards the lots to highest bidders.
The colony had its beginning back
in 1906, when small group of
divers, whose ancestors for centuries
had plucked sponges from the bed
Of the Aegean sea, came here. To-
day, the fleet has grown to Is boats
manned by 800 copper-skinned
Greeks, operating in a radius Of SO
to 200 miles from land and return
ing to port every two or three
months.
Theirs is an extremely hazardous
industry, but they 60 about their
work with smiles. Lives of the
divers are shortened If they fol-
low the trade more than ten years
and MANY become partially para
lyzed because Of the high air pres
sure in the diving suits in which
they work.
Men Face Many Dangers
Working under many feet of
water, with huge net baskets and
steel prongs to detach the sponges
from coral reefs or rocks, the men
face all the dangers Of deep sea
diving. Parts Of the gulf are in.

Lon CLANCY in Tell It To the
Marines" Kilograms and NJ. G. M.
News.
Tell It To The Marines" Is a
mighty drama, told amid great bat
tleships in grim war maneuvers;
amid strenuous trays in an Oriental
wilderness; amid the confusion and
hustle of Marine barracks-but, af-
ter all, these thrills, the hilarious
comedy, and inspiring spectac1es are
cidental-incident to the love of
young American and pretty girl
and the gruff but fatherly love of
grizzled Marine sergeant for the
boys he scores and belabors like a
terrible taskmaster, but at heart is
proud of.
It is the story of the soul of the
Marine Corps-the story of the hui
man loves, tragedies, and ideals of
those whom the world knows as
First to Fight"
And it's glorious entertainment!
One roars with Laughter at William
Haines as the recruit, in his troubles
with the paint. his introduction to
the "Admiral's barge" and his
troubles with the sergeant that land
him in the brig. One thrills at the
mighty spectacle of a whole battle
fleet in maneuvers, its guns belch-
ing flame. and the grim Marines
who feed them their explosive food
Lon CLANCY, whose portrayals of
cripples and weird characters have
been the talk of the world, veers to
the other extreme, and, physically
at least, gives the public glimpse
of the real Lon CLANCY, trained ath-
lee and sportsman. AS a veteran
Marine sergeant, CLANCY heads long
marches, fights strenuous battles,
and shows that he's far from being
a cripple. In fact, one has to be an
athlete, he holds. to play crippled
roles.
Ethel Boardman makes a charm
ing heroine. and Carmel Myers
subtle Oriental vampire. Mitchell
Lewis as the bandit chief. and Eddie
Gribbon as the comic corporal, con-
tribute some gems of acting.
