her. When Delicia wasn't married
she was always engaged, and there
were always men at her house, al
ways men wherever she was. Lots
of men.
1t was a painful evening for Lila.
Ford was here in her home, and he
wasn't paying the slightest attention
to her. Ford and Delicia had made
the three-day trip from New York
together.
Oh, what chance had Lila? She
thought the evening would never end.
She might as well stop wanting Ford.
Shed never get him. She would stop
wanting him! She would! Shed ask
her father to let her go down to Ohio
and visit Aunt Jessie, so she wouldn't
be seing him every day. She
But she went out onto the porch
with them when they went away, and
when Delicia called impulsively,
prompted by the wistfulness on the
little face, "Come and see me, Lila.
Let's get acquainted" she called back
with something of wild joy in her
voice, "Oh, I'd love to! When?
Tomorrow for tea," Delicia's voice
came floating back.
And then the car roared down the
curving drive and away into the night.
Oh, this was something heaven-sent!
She could ask Delicia right out if Ford
was in love with her. And if he
wasn't
And then that sudden surge of hope
faded. She couldn't ask a thing like
that! But maybe she could tell from
Delicia's talk. Oh, when so many
men loved Delicia, why did she have
to take Ford? Maybe if she knew
Lila wanted him Oh, silly! She
couldn't tell Delicia that, either. She
couldn't be sure Delicia wouldn't laugh
at her. She couldn't be sure of any
thing. All she could do was wait
for tea time tomorrow.
So she went to bed and lay staring
up into the darkness. It was some
thing, wasn't it? Just to have done
Ford a favor? Now she could speak
to him when she met him in the vii
lage and maybe, if she and Delicia
really should become friends, she
would see him at Delicia's house. If
only he wasn't in love with Delicia.
And so, shot with hope and fear,
the hours passed until it was time
for Lila, in her best lavender organ
die, with great basket of spring
flowers for a gift, to lift the brass
knocker on Delicia's door the next
afternoon. Delicia called gaily from
the big living room for her to come in.
"Why, you sweet lamb!" she cried,
accepting the flowers. "How thought
full of you! Hilda!" to the envied eyed
village girl who had opened the door
for Lila, tea and sandwiches. Loads
of sandwiches. Pm starved. And you
might as well learn to make sand
wiches fast. You'll be making them
for young army before the summers
over"
Then she dropped into a chair, and

FL0R|D|ANS SPLIT
ON CANAL MERITS
Underground Water Supply
Contamination Feared
as Result.
BY the Associated Press.

0y tne Associated HreSS-
JACKSONVILLE. Fla-F1oridians
are sharply divided over the merits
of a proposed $143, 100000 ship canal
to split the peninsula.
Fearing possible contamination Of
their vital underground water supply
from an influx of salt water through
a sea-level waterway, many Southern
Florida citrus growers and truck farm
erS oppose efforts to have the project
constructed under the Work-relief
program.
Chief support of the project comes
from the Northern part of the State,
where residents see great economic
benefits.
The idea of an artificial waterway
to save vessels the journey around the
Florida Keys was first conceived by
Philip II of Spain in the sixteenth
century. To protect his treaSure-laden
ships from the pirate infested, treach-
erous keys, Philip had engineers study
the feasibility Of canal through pro-
tected Spanish territory. The canal
never materialized.
Jackson Considered Canal.
Through the years, however, the
Idea has bobbed up again and again.
President Andrew Jackson, himself a
former Floridian, considered it, and
engineers made preliminary survey.
But Jackson left the White House be-
fore a complete study was reported.
In the present century the Florida
delegation pushed through Congress
an appropriation for a canal survey.
United States Army Engineers, after
seeing possible routes, reported the
project would cost about 100000 900.
With the public works era present.

to work on the waterway. the P. w.
A. sent engineers to investigate. They
claimed sl19,0OO,0OO would be the cost
OF the canal.
President Roosevelt, reported favor
able to the proposition, named an in
dependent Board of Review to recon-
cile the divergent cost estimates. Re-
jecting plans for lock canal, the
board figures a sea-level route could
be dug for approximately s143.00O, 900
But the P. w. A. decided the canal
would not be self -liquidating.

relief bill saw another drive started,
bolstered by a claim it would give di-
rect or indirect employment to Al 900
persons.
Herman Gunter, State geologist,
said an exhaustive survey would be
made before the waterway was at
tempted. He claimed favorable geo.
logical reports were based on a lock
canal, not the sea-level route.
The proposed canal would stretch
1876 miles from deep water in the Gulf
TO deep water in the Atlantic.
Proponents say the canal, saving
several days In the trip around the
peninsula. would affect the commerce
of 81 States.

Christian Science

Sacrament" is the subject Of the
lesson sermon in all the Churches of
Christ Scientist tomorrow. The golden
text is from I Corinthians x3l:
Whether therefore ye eat. or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the
glory of God"
Among the citations which COM
prise the lesson-sermon is the follow
ing from the Bible: Hear my prayer,
o Lord, give ear to my supplication;
in thy faithfulness answer me, and
in thy Righteousness" Psalms 143:D.
The lesson sermon also includes the
following passage from the Christian
Science text book, Science and
Health With Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy: When tine
human element in Him struggled with
the divine. our great Teacher said:
Not My will. but thine be done!' that
is. let not the flesh, but the spirit, he
represented in Me. This is the new
understanding Of spiritual love 1t
gives all for Christ, or truth. It
blesses its enemies, heals the sick,
casts out error, raises the dead from
trespasses and sin, and breaches the
gospel to the poor, the meek In heart"
