DIVISION OF
COMPENSATION
MAKES REPORT
COLLECTIONS FOR FIRST
CALENDAR QUARTER OF.
THIS YEAR AMOUNTED To-
$l.555.362.44

The Florida Unemployment
Compensation Divisions announces
that collections for the first cal
enoar quarter of this year
amounted to $l,555, 1924. The
major part of these collections
were for payroll contributions
cue during this quarter of 1899,
a very small percentage being
past due contributions.
Contributions for the first
quarter of 1899 were $4,000 more
than for the same period of this
year., Harold {. Wall, director
of the division, stated. This is
accounted for by the fact that our
delinquent list has been reduced
considerably and we expect our
future quarterly collections to
average about one million and
nalf dollars.
In comparison with other
states our delinquent list has al
ways been below the average,
which has meant less legal action
on the part of the division to
make collections, but this does
not mean that we will fail to
take action to force the small
minority who. fatty refuse to-
abi3e by the, law s@,fFSSf
During 1898 contributions
were received from every county
in the state and the promptness
with which most employers have
made their contributions and re-
ports are appreciated.
In this county the report shows
that "a firms have contributed
S14,13460 to the unemployment
fund.

ANOTHER BOOST
FOR ISLAND CITY
APPEARS IN SUNSHINE SPE.
CIAL PUBLISHED IN WEST
PALM BEACH

Elmer Burgess, who edits the
Sunshine Special, in the inter
ests of all good sportsmen, in
West Palm Beach, casts a boost
for Key West in the May issue,
said Secretary Singleton at the
Chamber of Commerce this
morning. The article follows:
I'VE saw Billy Dietsche, ST.,
on the street today. He said that
he and Mrs. Dietsche and her
sister Almyra Leaycraft had just
returned from Key West where
they had been guests of friends
at the Hotel La Concha. He was
particular vociferous in his praise
for La Concha, which is now I'M
der the management of the du-
Pont Interests. It's every bit
as good as the Waldorf Astoria
in New York City Billy said.
''He also mentioned that they
had fished all the way down the
Keys into Key West and had ex-
cellent luck. The Dietsches are
now at Craig in the Florida Keys
and wrote back for some mos
quito lotion Probably some one
told him this was good to put on
fish bait to make EN- bite, and
he wanted some for that pur-
pose. We know of no other use
he could have for il down on the
Florida Keys at this time of the
year"
The secretary said that if he
wants some dependable mosquito
dope il is always a good idea to
send to some place where fight
ing the insects has been science
and not merely a moonlight pas
time as it is practiced on the
Florida Keys.

What to dol" What to dol"
Ever been in that fix?
Well, that's just where we are
now up here in Tallahassee in

have the State grab the jackpot?
Want to buy liquor until you're

THIRTY HOURS ELApSE

PORTSMOUTH, N H., May "a.
Approximately 30-hours have
elapsed since the Navy sub
marine Squalls sank to the bot
tom of the Atlantic in two hun
dred and forty feet of water
about Is miles off this city, and
arrangements by the Navy to
rescue the crew of fifty six and
three inspectors aboard have pro-
crossed in orderly manner.
The u. S. S. Falcon, thorough
ly equipped for submarine rescue
work. has arrived on the scene
and divers from this and other
ships have descended to the hull
of the Squalls for preliminary
investigation of the possibility of
closing the open induction valve
and pumping out the water in
the hull in order to float the sub
marine to the surface.
Mothers, wives and sweet
hearts of officers and men on
board the sunken craft are ex-
pressing no great concern for
the safety of their men and there
is a general belief existing
throughout the rescue crews on
hand that all men now alive on
the Squalls will be brought
safely to the surface.

STATES TOO RARELY MAKE sweep

STATES TOO RARELY MAKE sweep
ing changes in political leadership without
disclosures of favoritism in awarding con-
tracts if not downright dishonesty. The
Farmer-Labor party, relinquishing control
in this state, finds itself no exception.
There is need for careful examination
of affairs of state departments which should
be followed by indictments if warranted and
suits for recovery where substantial
amounts may reasonably be expected.
But there is no occasion for political
holiday aimed at destroying the party or
embarrassing its honest members, which it
is more than likely would cost more than it
would recover.
Governor Stassen has indicated he will
put auditors at work in departments under
suspicion. In some cases they are already
digging in, without great fanfare and ap-
parently avoiding publicity in their effort to
get at the facts.
The senate's proposal that expert inves-
tigators and attorneys with wide powers be
put to work with $4,000 as a starter,
sounds like quite the opposite type of inves-
tigation is contemplated.
