Cleveland Hires More Men.

CLEVELAND, Ohio-Although the
number OF men returning to jobs in
Cleveland has not been as great as In
several other American cities, notably
Detroit, there has been a gradual, steady
rehiring since the automobile plants at
Detroit went back to work. The auto
mobile parts industry Is, collectively,
one of the biggest factors in Cleveland's
industrial pattern, and when the De-
troit plants add men, men are certain
to be added here in the plants produce
ing parts for the Detroit factories.

Florida Prospects Bright.

JACKSONVILLE, F1a.-Flor1da In
general, and Jacksonville, the gateway
TO the State, in particular, look to the
future with decided optimism. Things
are looking up. Here are some Of the
reasons why:
The States citrus crop for the forth
coming season beginning next month,
has an estimated value of $60.000,00
The fruit fly is practically thing of
of the past, the quarantine ban having
been lifted.
Twenty million dollars were appropri-
ated at the last session of Congress for
expenditure in Florida-Seven millions
for flood control in the Everglades, to
be matched by two millions from the
State; more than four millions to open
up the Yacht Canal along the East
Coast, work on which is now being
pushed so 1t will be ready this Fall,
Federal buildings, affecting every Sec
ton of the State
In anticipation of the biggest season
In the States history in the canning
of citrus fruits and juices, new plants
are being erected throughout the grape
fruit and orange belts for this purpose.
A number of factories are working night
and day to meet demands, among them
cigar, box, perfumery and preserving
plants. and Ford has just begun opera
tons after three weeks lay-off, his plant
employing more than 500.
Increasing activities also are reported
in the real estate market, one of the
largest Jacksonville firms having a
record % per cent greater for the first
half of 1880 than the entire years of
1929. Lumber exports were nine million
feet more during the first half of 1890
compared to like period of 1929.

Desire for Adventure
Back of Foolish Acts

What alteration Is 1t that, leads
people from time to time to act as
did this woman in the Bronx, who
drew $500 from the bank and paid
1t over for "smuggled diamonds" only
to find out that they were glass?
Cupidity. 1t is often said, the desire
to get rich quickly. Yet one wonders.
When a man hands over $1,000 on
overlapping scheme, or $1,000 for
part of the estate of the Spanish prls-
oner, or $500 for the land on which
the WOolwOrth building stands, or IS
for u share in pocketbook, this may
be cupidity, but 1t may be simply an
impulse to take part in something
that Is exciting. colorful and clever.
Most of us, after all, lead intolerably
dull lives; not once In year does
anything happen to us which Is not
the veriest humdrum, and when 1t
does. we are so giddy that we talk
about 1t for months. But down deep
In us, have no doubt Of 1t, there Is an
adventurer plning for an opportunity
to buckle on rapier and fare forth
with lantern into the night. 1t Is
this adventurer which ruins us when
dark work Is afoot, not the oily trick

Poll Tag Enrli,h Idea

The first poll tax was levied In 1877
In England. The amount was pence
on every head above II years. The
poll tax continued In England for
many years, and was an important
form of taxation In the New England
colonies. 1t originated with the idea
that all able-bodled men should go out
for at least few days each year to
work on the roads. Those who could
not or did not want to do so could
pay tax in lieu Of work. There was
also the idea that everybody should
pay a little, be It only 81 year, to
support the government under which
he lived.
