ton of Audubon Societies. Mr..
Sprunt made an airplane trip
over the devastated area on Octo
Der 3. On this he based his re-
port which, as well as telling of
the fate of the birds, gave one of
the most vivid word pictures yet
obtained Of the devastation after
the storm.
In February of this year, Mr..
Sprunt made a similar trip which
covered Seven-tenthS of the range
of the Great White Herons, and
at that time he saw 211 birds. On
october 3, covering nine-tenthS Of
the range, he saw only 146, and
from this he deduces that the
storm killed As per cent Of the
birds.
None In Area
He said, in part: Ordinarily
one would expect to begin to en-
counter the birds as soon as the
long bridge connecting the main
land to Key Largo is reached.
There were none in this area at
all, nor were any encountered un-

"The first Great Whites were
seen at the Mud Keys, short

Local Eleven
Finds Foes
Easy Mark
BY GARRETT WATERS

. The superiority of the Central
High School eleven should be thor.
oughly saturated in the minds OF
scholastic fans today, following
the Mount Pleasanters' one-sided
victory over the Mexico City ALI
High champs yesterday at Griffith
Stadium, SO to IL.
"Tis very true, Coach Hardy
Pearce's men were not given the
tough sort of opposition found IN
the recent inter-high school grid
series, but the manner in which
the Blue and White conducted
themselves ought to definitely pic
ture the thought the team Is q
pretty capable one after all.
There was the running of Billy
Richardson for one thing. A great
little backfield man, make no mis-
take about that. Then there was
the slaShing, weaving drive offered
by Johnnie Jones, backfield team
mate, and the expert blocking and
punting by Joe Moran.
MexicanS Outclassed
To say the MexicanS looked good
would be in error. They were far
from the point Of perfection every
school eleven endeavors to reach.
But it must be said they put up Q
plucky battle and played the best
they knew how. considering the
fact they've only known football
for a year and the technical points
which go with the game.
Central lost little time in get
ting into the perfect momentum
which characterized its play in
the inter-high series. Billy Rich
ardson tore at the line, reaping
gain after gain, while Johnnie
Jones and little Billy Vermillion,
known as "Punchy," but quite a
heady player despite his eccen-
tricities, put the finishing touches
on a performance that was not to
be denied from the start Of the
milling to the last.
The passing attack of the in
vaders developed as their best bet,
although it was not Of the smooth
est working order,
Aided In Scores
It was directly responsible for
the first touchdown registered
while it aided in advancing the
ball down the field for the second.
Villareal did the heaving and Cor
tez the receiving.
The ceremonies before the game
rivaled a world series or a Rose
Bowl classic in their small way.
Two bands were on hand, a so.
piece High School cadet band and
the Tipica Band, of Mexico City.
The D. C. contingent played the
Mexican National Anthem during
the flag raising portion of the pro.
gram, while the Tipica Band rem
dered the Star Spangled Banner.
In all it was an interesting and
entertaining show and a fitting
climax to a scholastic football
season that has had a full Sched-
ule of thrills and heart throbs.

FISHING AND
HUNTING
According to
IZAAK WALTON

Florida East Coast Railway are
torn up, hurled aside, twisted
into knots. Much of it lies across
the asphalt surface of the Over
seas Highway. Other sections lie
far out into the bay, others in
the opposite direction in the sea.
Trestles Okay
The trestleS which bore it across
the open water in long jumps,
were not injured when of con-
crete construction, but the track
ties were simply non-existent on
them. It might we'll never have
been any tracks at all. All wooden
trestleS and bridges were gone,
only the piles remained. This con-
dition prevails as far west as
Marathon, and it is to be greatly
doubted if, in all this stretch there
is so feet Of track remaining on
the original roadbed.
I'VE flew back and forth over
the keys on the Bay side, looking
here and there for birds. Not only
were there no Great Whites, but
other bird life was almost entire
ly lacking. Not even the usual peli-
cans were seen there. Some half
dozen or so, with as many cormor-
ants were seen in all that 40 miles
area Of devastation. One small un-
named Key held about 200 Frigate
birds. The whole area seemed to
bear still, the blight Of death and
destruction, and was avoided by
all things still possessing life.
Eastern Half Wiped Out
EFT can be well said that the
entire eastern half Of the Great
White Heron range has been wiped
out. They simply do not occur
there any more. The small num-
bers about Mud and McGinty Keys
are the sole individuals between
the Matecumbes and Miami.
II cannot give definite time
limits at the present as to how
long it will take the keys in the
devastated area to regain any
thing like their former condition
as to vegetation. 1t was the gen.
eral consensus Of opinion in south
Florida that it would be at least
three years. At present there are
not only no birds, but no places
for them to nest if there were
birds"

Money Is Big
Question in
.Child's Life
Saving Should Be Tied
Up to Purpose if
Undertaken.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

YOU cannot get away from the
question of money and its rela-
| tionship to children. Money is big
| force in our lives. Children do not
understand it. They know nothing of
its dangers, nothing Of its imposed
responsibilities. 1t has only one mean
ing for them-it can be spent for
| pleasure.
Now we must not look down our
noses when a child seeks pleasure
Childhood is the time for pleasure. 1t
| is then that senses are keenest. They
store up treasure for old age. They are
the bank in which maturity's capital
is stored for future expansion. Pleas
ure is essential to childrens growth.
1t is essential to maturity's intelli-
gence and power. Spending money
gives pleasure and rightly SO, if the
spending is intelligent.
Experience in using money is the
only kind of teaching that is worth
while here. 1t is useless to tell child
that money must be handled wisely;
bad taste; that part of every dollar
earned must be saved; that value
must be the end of spending. Words
! mean nothing to children without eX-
perience Experience gives meaning to
the words. If children are to learn
how to Use money they must learn by
using it.
The desire to initiate is strong here
If child sees money handled care
lessly; If he sees money spent with
apparent carelessness; if money is dis
regarded or overemphasized in the
family circle, the child will copy the
attitude faithfully. If money is wisely
regarded and intelligently used, the
child will follow that pattern. But
always he needs first-hand expert
ences.
Begin early. When the little child
asks for money for candy it is time to
give him an allowance. Set the time
he is to receive it and the amount.
Then hold to the arrangement and
thus lay the foundation for his train
ing in personal finance.
There are several mistaken ideas
about the children's use of money
affecting their training. Some people
think that saving is an indication OF
thrift and understanding in children.
This is not true in my experience.
Children spend money. Childhood Is
the time for spending. Little children
are given money to spend. If one gives
them money to put in the bank one
gives them an errand that bears little
relation to their training in the use OF
money. Saving has its time and place.
Along about the age of 9 or 10
the children begin to ask for more
expensive toys. They need balls and
bats and rackets, bathing suits. sweat
ers, paddles and such. Teach them to
set aside a certain proportion of their
| funds for these things. That teaches
them to look ahead, to plan, to save
| for a purpose. Saving just to save Is
not intelligent use of money IN child
hood.
The adolescent earns some money,
has an allowance, and learns to pro-
| vide certain of his necessities and
save for others that will arise in the
future. But even they must have q
definite purpose in view when they
save.

BY BARBARA BELL,

IF DRESS is becoming that's half
the battle 1t needn't be extrava-
CANT, in style or material. Every
L woman has had the experience of
owning a dearly beloved dress, in
which she always felt comfortable, and
smart, one dress that she hated to
give up because the lines were SO
good, the color so flattering, the model
one which seemed to last season after
season without going out of fashion.
Most women are constantly on the
lookout for such q dress. It is always
a treasure, and we are pleased to pre-
sent dress that will answer all these
exacting demands.
In the first place the square neck is
almost always becoming, and here it
is, outlined with collar, simply made,
with a little wedge shaped piece cut
out of the front to show the first but
ton, of which there are four, trim
ming the front of the blouse These
buttons are graduated in size, to con-
form to the shape of the panel, which
begins at the neck. and continues to
the bottom of the skirt. 1t grows wider
at the hem, so that there is a distinct
flare below the knees. The panel is
repeated in the back, but there it be-
gins at the waistline, the slenderizing
line not being quite so essential in
back as it is before. Sleeves are long
and close fitting, and cut in one with
the blouse. The belt is tailored, buck
led at the back. The whole thing Is
very simple, and easy to make, but
the dress is the kind that will outlast
the changes of the season, and can be
worn on many occasions.
There are faille-like crepes, 50 nice
for simple, straight hanging frocEs.
