1t will be the source of the tools of
defense for all democracies who
are fighting to preserve themselves
against aggression.
While the defense equipment pro-
duced under H. R. 1776 remains
under the control of the United
| States until it is ready for dispo-
sition, it is the fixed policy of this
Government to make for democ-
racies every gun, plane and munition
of war that we possibly can.
To accomplish these detectives,

Pearl Islands Accessible
From Panama City

PANAMA CITY, Feb. Though
strings of fish rather than strings
of pearls are now the rule in the
Pearl Islands, offshore from Pam
anna City, tourists returning from
cruises report seeing many of these
"oyster ornaments" of rare size and
beauty.
The Pearl Islands are only 46
miles by water from Panama City,
being easily accessible. Ever since
Spanish times the Pearl Islands
have been prominent in Panama's
gem trade, each annual pearl mar
vest" since 1882 being recorded in
pounds. Pearls are said to have
been the common currency of Pan
anna until the white man imposed
his own ideas of exchange on the
Indians.
AS seen by the tourist today, the
Pearl Islands are an archipelago Of
perpetually green bits of land re-
nowned for their splendid fishing.
Boats may be hired by the daJ or
week, with suitable conveniences
and capable guides. Mantas, devil
fish and rays are found off the
islands in profusion. These mon
sters, weighing up to ton and
more, must be taken with special
equipment.
For the more conservative angler
the waters around the Pearl Islands
are also full of smaller fish-red
snappers, bonita, Spanish mackerel,
tuna and other varieties, ranging in
weight from to so pounds.

In the beautiful Metairie cemetery
in New Orleans is one of the
strangest monuments to be found
in the United States. Visitors used
to notice accidentally the stone
with its puzzling inscription but
now, since research has revealed the
story behind the once-mysterious
legend. "Angele Marie LangleS, los
La. 49," tourists are directed to it
as an oddity to be picked up in their
travels.
The story of the monument,
placed after unique litigation. was
told originally in The Lawyer by
a prominent member of the New
Orleans Bar. Edgar NJ. Calm, whose
diligent research gave story re-
produced here in part:
In June, 1898. preparatory TO a
voyage to France, Widow Pauline
Langles, So years of age. and her
unmarried daughter Marie, age 35,
in New Orleans. executed reciprocal
wills, each in favor of the other,
dependent upon survivorship. On
July 4, 1898. while passengers on the
French liner Bourgogne, they
perished as the liner sank after
collision with the iron sailing ship

lantic. No witnesses were found to
tell anything of their fate, nor to
testify as to the order of death.
Their bodies were never recovered.
Intense litigation followed. The
Louisiana Supreme Court finally de-
cided that in the absence of factual
testimony, the case was controlled
by the articles of the Louisiana Civil
Code taken from the Code Napoleon,
providing that in such contingency
the legal consumption of survivor
ship was in favor of the younger
person; hence it followed that the
daughter survived. 1t was the only
case of its kind in Louisiana juris-

DeIonds Beautiful
Oak Trees Inspired
By Tax Rebates

DELAND. Fla. Feb. l.
Many visitors annually pause to
wonder why and how Deland
came into possession of so many
beautiful oak trees.
The City Council, on July !,
1887, adopted an ordinance al
lowing a rebate on taxes of SO
cents for every tree 2 inches
or more in diameter planted by
a land owner, provided the tree
was one year old md in a
healthy state.
So great was the response
that the city's revenue was Sc
riously curtailed and it was
necessary to repeal the ordi-
nance. However, the trees
thrived and now their moss
hung boughs shade every street
in the city.
