were promulgating these indepen-

all of the men who said they would

How great will he the real es-
tate activity in Monroe county
next winter? The best way to an
swer that question is to say that
although this is considered the off
season in all parts of Florida,
many applications still continue
for abstracts of title at the court
house. Despite the fact that the
office force of Clerk d. z. Filler is
working over time, it is absolutely
impossible to keep pace with the
demands. This activity is greater
right at this time than it has ever
been before and shows no sign of
abating. Residents firmly believe
that the boom in county realty,
which has been predicted number
of times since the 100000 bond
issue was approved, will be in full
swing during the season of 1924
and '25.

Makes Little Difference

Of course, it was only fit and proper, perhaps, that Judge Raymond Baldwin of Stratford, republican leader of Fairfield county, should criticize any such state ment as would make it seem the republi- cans in the last Legislature were to blame because the motor fees in Connecticut were not reduced. Judge Baldwin pre- sents some indisputable evidence to show that Commissioner Connor did not sponsor a bill calling for such reduction until the last day of the legislative session.
 Unfortunately tha* isn't the entire story. Commissioner Connor's term did not begin until June 1. The last day of the legislative session was June '. True, the confirmation of the Connor appoint ment came month earlier, but would 1t have been becoming for new appolntee to take it upon himself to suggest legis- lative reform for his department while the man he was to succeed still held of- flee? We hardly think so. At any rate there have been ample opportunities Tn changes that Commissioner Connor sug- gests but these were all ignored by ma jority of legislators.
 At that we don't believe it quite fair to place the entire blame on the shoulders ot all the g.o.p. legislators. Without impugn- ing the reputation of the former motor vehicles commissioner, Robbins B. Stoeckel, it must be said that he seldom sympathized with the efforts to reduce the registration fees or operators license costs. This was quite sufficient usually to prevent any successful action being taken by the motor vehicles committees of the Legislature on bills calling for the above action. Now that both democrats, republicans, and the commissioner are in agreement on the reduction there should be no trouble in 1885 in securing the same, should there?

No Censorship

Officials of the Hartford diocese of the Roman Catholic church were quick to deny that they planned censorship board when the same was intimated this week. A re- port emanating from Hartford credited the high clerics with planning some form of board to sit in judgment on the films being shown in theaters of the state. That is quite unnecessary. There are in exist ence several of these groups, including those maintained by the film industry and those by church groups and other social agencies.
 We're inclined to the opinion that noth- ing could do more harm to the progress ot the Legion of Decency's campaign than board of censorship. The idea of boycot. ting the movies is now so firmly ingrained in the minds of those people who follow the advice of their religious advisors that local censorship is certainly not needed. Of course, it seems hard to divorce the two. Certainly if better films are to be obtained by means of boycott, such as the subscriber to the pledge of the Legion of Decency promises, then somebody must determine the picture to be summed.
 That hardly needs to be localized All such efforts in the past have failed igno- minously. You can recall any number Of efforts to set up boards of review that would assure theater-goers only of high type moving pictures. However, religious forces have finally prevailed and Holly wood is finding that out to it's sorrow. This new drive to clean up the stage is succeeding. It strikes at the pocketbooks of the industry. It hits home. Nothing should be done to interfere with it's sue cess by purely local determination of what is good and what is bad

Good Pictures Pay

The church campaign against indecency in movies shows signs of spreading to in- clude books, magazines and the theater. Many thoughtful persons, thoroughly in accord with every sincere movement to- ward cleaner pictures, are troubled lest the present drive be given over too much to banning evil and too little to encourag- ing good. Hollywood's own code of morals, prepared in 1880, was composed almost entirely of negative commands. It be- came the game to see how far these "don'ts" could be ignored and evaded.
 It might have been sounder practice to stress the things the public on the whole seemed to like, and then to build pictures along those lines. There really have beer more 'good" pictures, in the sense of genuinely intelligent and entertaining pictures, than the public realizes. Also, more of them have been successful than the producers seem to have noted. At any rate, in a list of the most popular movies over a period of years, the best money makers have all been above reproach. "Cavalcade,' "The Singin' Fool', Ben Hur", "The Four Horsemen', "The Big

 The new national labor rela- tions board is giving every indi-, cation of becoming the tough guy'' of the administration.
 It is not saying much. But 1t is doing plenty of cracking down. -
 Although it has been in oper- ation only a month, 1t already has cited more cases to the MIRA compliance division for punitive action than did the old board in it's ten months of existence.
 Under the law the NLB does not have the power to proceed legally against defiant or recall citrant employers. It is up to the Blue Eagle to do that. But Chairman Lloyd Garrison and his wto colleagues are intent on keeping the MIRA busy. 1
 They have wielded the big stick on obdurate concerns and minced neither words nor blows. BRASS KNUCKLES
 Take for instance, the boards bare-knuckle handling of the controversy with the Chicago Motor Coach Co.

 The old board took the rebuff meekly. But not young Lloyd Garrison and his colleagues. When the case reached them, they ordered q new hearing. The company again defied the new board. Whereupon the hard hitting trio socked back. Within three days they cited the company to the MIRA us a law viOlatOr. and, with q withcr- ing blast conforming the bus linc's attitude, recommended that its Blue Eagle be jerked.
 And as warning to other firms, the three commissioners issued this ultimatum:

Turkey Letter
By FERDINAND c. M. JAIN Cnifed Press Staff COrreSpOndenl

By FERDINAND c. M. JAIN United Press Stan Correspondent l Ankara, Turkey (UP) - The l Turkish Republic is firmly estab- | lished and well on the road oi I progress, under thes leadership of
 Ghazi Mustafa Renal. | Economically, the nation has,
 however, reached danger zone. 1 This Is the conclusion at which ! the United Press Staff correspon- dent arrived after a lengthy stay | in the capital of the country. Puts House in Order The nation wants and needs peace in order to put its house in
 order.
 Risky oreign entanglements
 are being carefully avoided; but the country is we'll prepared to
 rcpulse any attack.
 The army, composed of sturdy peasants, who do one year and a
 half of compulsory service, is
 trained excellently and is well equipped.
 Politically, no sign of opposi- ton is visible within the country. The adherents of the Sultanate and of the Khalifate gradually are dying out. Most of the Ghazi's former adversaries, who remained in the country, have made their peace with the present regime. Economically, the outlook Is not quite as promising The country is rich in natural resources.
 Last Census According to the last census of 1927, 1t had a population of 13,- 648,S0O. A minister recently claimed it now had reached 1S,- 100000. This may be a slight ex- aggeration: but it is, doubtless, rapidly increasing. This is largely due to effective measures to re- duce mother and infant mortal
 But ready capital for develop ment of the natural resources is lacking.
 The money circulation is about 130,0O0,000 Turkish pounds. With out recurring to iniationary measures, 1t might. as Suhkri Kaya, Minister of the Interior, said, be increased to 175.000, 1000. Even this figure would be very dow for a population of about 15,- 100000 or 16,000,000.
 Much money which might have been used for vital constructive purposes has been invested in costly offices palaces and showy apartment buildings.
 Taxes are extremely high owing to the governments ambitious re- construction program and to de- fence expenditure.

New National Boundaries


 Stanley Baldwin's remark that Britain's frontier has moved from the English channel to the Rhine is a startling expo sition of the way in which aerial warfare has transformed military science. For centuries Britain could be secure by main taining control of the channel and the North Sea. Napoleon could never hope to win his long struggle unless he could whip the British fleet; Germany, with her magnificent army, could not triumph in the World War so long as Britain re- mained in command of the sea.
 But now the picture has changed How can you rely on fleet when your enemy can jump right over it and bomb your great cities? What is the value of an iso- lation which bombing plane can erase in two hours? World statesmen are only be- ginning to realize the extent of the change. It will be a generation, at least, before world politics is fully adjusted to it.

 NO CHEERS
 Among republican senatorial leaders the silence greeting the efforts of Henry Prather Fletch- CT as chairman of the republican national committee is so thick it can be cut with a butter-knife.
 The swanky Pennsylvanian drew no cheers from the Capitol Hill boys when he was named party manager, and since talk ing to the stump they think even less of him.
 In an exchange of communi. cations the senatorial chieftains have agreed that Fletcher should be tactfully, but unmistakably, advised that his rhetoric is hit ting on a sour note.
 This will be done very short ly by senator noted for his deftness in handling delicate situations. .f
 If senatorial soIons could have their way, Fletcher, 8 novice at the game of politics, would make very few, if any speeches. They would take over the public Orat- ing. .m
 However, the congressional faction, desperately hard up for money, is not likely to win on this. The best it can hope for is to persuade Fletcher to speak less frequently and more ap- pealingly.
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 The new housing ,administra- ton has become Washington mystery agency. An appoint ment is made to it's staff, the official receives desk, then several days later he, or she, dis appears and no one knows why or where. Pennsylvania's Senator "Puddler Jim" Davis, returning from western trip, summoned a press conference which two reporters attended. He announced that the repub- licans would gain two senate seats in the northwest, but no amount of pressing could get Jim to reveal the states in which these gains would be made.

Washington, Aug. 9-The story published in this column July 25 regarding the development of new serum in the fight against scarlet fever has aroused con- siderable discussion and some criticism in medical circles.
 The article, based upon in- formation received at the Ma tional Health Institute, stated that the public health service had discovered a toXoid which produced immunity against scar let fever. in 82 per cent of LIDO cases tested, that this treatment was based on the patent of scarlet fever toxin held by Doc tors George and Gladys Dick, of } Chicago, that the Dicks had re- fused to turn this patent over to the government, that Dr George Dick had indicated his willing ness. to give this discovery to science, but that his wife, Dr Gladys Dick declined, and that as a result the scarlet fever range continued to be high.
 Several n o Il blc physicians challenged these facts.
 In order to clarify. the situa- tion it should be stated that control of the Dick, patent is vested in a foundation known as the scarlet fever committee, with headquarters in Chicago. This committee has not confirm ed the laboratory experiments of Tat tat h service. 4a
 UNDERESTIMATE
 Furthermore, the Dicks in their own investigations find that the toXoid prepared by workers of the public health service is not really a toxoid, that it con- tains sixteen times as much un- altered toxin as originally claimed. that h e product inn munized only forty per cent in- stead of S7 per cent, and that altogether satisfactory evidence of the existence of scarlet few CT toxoid is lacking.
 For this reason, the scarlet fever committee felt that the time was not ripe to license any products to be sold under the name of scarlet fever tOxOid.
 The Doctors Dick were the re- cipients of the Cameron prize in England and Scotland last year for their notable contribu- ton to the fight against scarlet fever, and they are in line for the Nobel prize in the near fu- ture. The importance of their contribution to science cannot be over-emphasized and any re- flection upon it is to be regretted. HOCKEY
 Dynamic David F. Lilienthal. director of IVA, took a couple of hours off the other afternoon for $ round of golf with friend.
 As they made their way over the fairway they saw ahead of them lone player who seemed to be having a hard time with his game. He hooked, sliced, dug up divots, missed the ball com pletely.
 When they finally caught up with him Lilienthal recognized the lone player as a minor IVA executive-who was supposed to be at his desk. When he saw his boss he looked extremely em- barrassed.
 "I'm playing hockey this afternoon" he explained.
