Julius F. Stone, Jr., FERA ad-
ministrator for Florida, said yes
terday before leaving for Jack
sonville, he was very much salts
fled with the progress of the re-
Mobilization work in Key West.
While there is a great improve
ment shown, he says, it is not so
evident to the casual observer as
TO those of the administration
who made thorough surveys of the
situation before the movement
started and recently went over
the ground to see what has been
accomplished.
speaking of what Is to be done
along other lines than those now
being prosecuted he said while
many things that are going on at
this time are obvious, there are
other activities being planned
which have not been announced
for the reason that the complete
setup has not been determined.

The Everglades National Park


as tall as 100 feet and coconut
trees are abundant. Besides these
are found naples, ash. cypress,
mahogany, rubber and many 9th
er varieties. From many of them,
especially in the interior, vines
trail from the branches in such
numbers as to form almost i'm
passable barriers. Here and there
are salt water streams (the aver
age relief is about one foot above
sea leveD. Attached to the roots
of trees on their banks may he
found growing oysters. Hugh sea
turtles weighing up to 300 pounds
make their home here and come
out on the sand under the cover
of darkness to lay their eggs in
nests made in the sand. These eggs
are considered great delicacies
and natives spend great deal of
time digging for them. Also the
turtles are themselves excellent
and are caught as they move from
the water to their nests in the
sand. A single turtle often lays
from $50, to 200 eggs.
OrRithologists find the Ever
glades a fairyland for bird study
as it is the roosting place and
feeding grounds of thousands of
birds. Among the species to be
found here are the ibis, spoonbills,
egrets, cranes, flamingoes and
herons. Students of animal life
may find some bear, panthers or
wildcats, foxes or deer-not to
mention a few alligators and
. snakes. The waters abound with
fish.
The Everglades proper is a great
saw-grass morass extending from
the southwestern side of Lake
Okeechobee in southern Florida
and takes in an area variously es-
timated from $500 to 5000
square miles. 1t owes its origin
to the copious rainfall and the
slight relief Of the section. In
fact, the relief is so slight through
out the region that a two-foot rise
of water in the past changed hun
dreds of square miles into a lake.
Much Of it was submerged during
the rainy season.

Yesterday was a busy day at
the Florida National Guard
camp with the large number
of guests and many callers from
the city going out to meet friends
and look over the new arrange
ments.
Many who had not seen the
camp since it's rehabilitation and
the new buildings were surprised
at the transformation WHICH has
taken place since the troops were
here last August.
1t is understood that other
changes are contemplated. New
buildings to be constructed and
many improvements which were
not included in the original plans
are being considered and steps
will be taken to bring the matter
before the authorities in Wash
ington.
With this end in view a COM
plete survey of the camp and all
equipment was made yesterday,
all buildings checked and the i'm
prOvements to be asked for noted.
1t is understood that the needed
additions will be asked for at an
early date.
Those in the inspection party
were Governor Dave Sholtz, AID

A portion of the Florida
Everglades was designated
by Congress at its last session
as the site for a national park
to be known as the Ever
glades National Park. Por-
tions of this site lie I'm Mon
roe and Dade counties. This
will bring the number of ma
tionaf parks in the United
States to "a, an area of
something like 10000 square
miles. Exclusive of the Ever
glades Park-which will not
be ready for visitors for some
time-3,000,O00 people visit
ed the national parks last
year. Our newest national
park is different than the
others in that it is not noun
famous but an expanse of wa
ter, tropical flowers and
jungle foliage fairy land
for thousands of birds.
The following article titled
"The Everglades-A New
Kind of Park" is reprinted
from The Pathfinder, issue
of AuCuxf II.
Our newest national park, The
Florida Everglades, is known tt
most people only as the home of 9
few Seminole Indians, a vast, dan
gerous hunting region or SWAMP
thickly populated with alligator'
and snakes. AS a matter of fac
some of our congressman appar
emily did not have a clear idea Of
it last spring when the park pro
ject was under consideration. Sew.
eral of them shouted "snake leg
islation" and alligator farm.
But bOtanists and other scientists
tell us it is a place of beauty as
well as a rich, fertile region; anC
that it will develop into a beauti
full national park comparable witt
any of the others.
At any rate it offers an inter
esting contrast. Instead of snow
capped peaks, wide canyons anC
valleys, deserts and caves the
tourists will have an opportunity
to gaze on expanses of water
tropical flowers and jungle foil.

Naturalization Of a monetary

from the age-old struggle to

Naturalization Of silver gives
the treasury control and vests in
the federal government title to
the silver u the United States ex

Ono aim ct naturalization OF

the government any profit which

give the metal more stable

When Che United States was on

from she mint price resulted in an
unsatisfactory monetary system.

Judas Iscariot hanged himself on a
redbud, explaining why the buds and
flowers are the color they are. That
our own lovely redbud should be made
to carry the disgrace of the European
tree is not fair, and We should, as tree
lovers, do something about it. Leave
the name out when we speak Of the
redbud. and gradually the incorrect
one will be forgotten.
1t would seem that this tree serves
mankind by being ornamental. There
are many others that will meet the
need for building material.
If you can find a small tree to
transplant you will get much pleasure
out of your experience. 1t will grow
from seed, and is easy to raise. As
the tree mother has many seed babies,
and they travel with strong breeze,
you will find the redbud in many un-
usual places. Often the youngster
will not be noticed until it has put
on its robe of pinkish-pea blossoms,
and you rejoice in finding your ia
vorite announcer Of Spring.

Swimming is merely simple locomo-
ton added to floating which is found
ed on confidence, balance and self
control, with a comparatively small
amount of effort required when prop
erly directed. It is excellent for the
breathing also; while swimming one
must inhale through the mouth and
exhale through the nose. This re-
verse form of breathing stimulates the
circulation and compels one to
breathe deeply.
The futter kick or narrow scissor
kick Of the crawl stroke is a fine ex-
ercise for strengthening the ankles
and the feet. 1t also gives the much
desired firmness about the hips so
that this exercise is especially good
for the worker who usually complains
OF excess weight about the hips waist
and abdomen. One may practice this
exercise on land before attempting it
in the water. Lie on your back keep

and places under the taller trees to be
found growing here.
From Ontario to Minnesota, south
through New Jersey to Florida and
west to Arkansas, in fertile lowlands,
rich moist spots on hillsides and even
in fields and burntover areas, the red
bud, even in youth, has a profusion
of pea-like magenta blossoms.
The redbud is a dainty tree in the
North and is seen in the woodlands
among the taller trees. Its glorious
robe attracts attention at once. In
the South the tree grows to be much
larger.
The flowers are followed by the
leaves. These as you know, are SIM
pie, and heart-shaped, and hang from
long. slender stems. In the Autumn
they turn yellow. 1t is interesting to
see how fresh and new the leaves ap-
pear all through the Summer, as If
rejoicing in youth, though we know
her leaves were put out so much ear
lier than those of many OF her neigh
bors.
After the flowers disappear you no.
tice how quickly they are followed by
the small fruit-pods. Then you know
at once that the redbud belongs
among the pod-bearers.
Another thing to help you place
your tree. The pods are light brown
to purple in color. They are thin,
pointed, fiat and smooth. They dam
gle from sturdy stems, to 3 inches
long, and in the Winter you can hear
the many seeds rattling about in their
little house.
You can easily see why this tree has
been called the redbud. Examine the
twigs in Winter. They are light
brown, heavily laden with purple-red
buds. Sometimes the buds will ap-
pear singly along the twigs. AS a
rule, you will find them neatly ar
ranged in vertical rows just above the
leaf scars No other native tree Of
ours has this bud habit.
The redbud sometimes grows to be
40 or even so feet high, more often
smaller Its early blooming and
hardness make it favorite as an or
namental tree Many plant it as a
shrubbery border. There is a double
flower form that can be bought from
nursery men. 1t comes from China.
There is also variety called the
downy redbud. 1t grows wild in
Georgia, and bears transplanting we'll
What a shame such a pretty tree
should be given a name that brings
shame with it! 1t is, as you know,
