TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

II is doubtful if there ever was
aamore sober and serious legisla-
tive group than the one now in
session at Tallahassee. From the
opening day it has been all work
and no play on the part of most
members of both the House and
SFnate.
Tallahassee night spots have de-
rived very little benefit from the
lawmakers so far and if it were
not for the patronage of soldiers
they would be in bay way. Ho-
tel lobbies and Railways are sur
prisingly quiet. The rooms that in
previous years echoed with riot
GUS laughter and throaty song, or
an occasional shrill "Whoopee, :"
are strangely silent. Belboys doze
at, their bench and only on rare
occasions is one seen rushing
hither and yon, burdened with
bottles of gingerale and spark
ling water.
Chamber maids who used to
spend half the morning gathering
up such debris as broken glass,
empty bottles and mess of Gig
arctic butts, now find rooms neat
and tidy.
A large percentage of the lesis-
lators are living in private homes.
while a few, more fortunate,
were able to obtain houses. The
number quartered in hotels is
smaller than during previous SEES
sions.
Capital City streets are jammed
with soldiers and on week-ends
the flood of service men from
nearby camps is so great that civ
ilians are ip d minority and the
few hundred brought here for the
session are lost in the shuttle and
honored Senators and Represen-
tatives find themselves standing
patiently in line waiting to enter
cafe or picture show.
Eating establishments. find
ing themselves short of both help
and food, often lock their doors
IN the faces of waiting patrons
ana pay no attention to those who
valnly rap on windows or rattle
door knobs. Mattresses no longer
apologize for bread without but
ter or eggs without bacon.
Important individuals who used
TO protest with gusto over a cold
cup of coffee or steak that was
bit too raw, now sit in meek
humility for hours and greet the
Arrival of a napkin and glass of
water with grateful thanks. {. q
Few social functions have been
Staged. The Florida State College
for Women entertained solons last

tertainment program. The meal of

vegetables and suref1uff old

those who have had to depend
on Greek restaurants and sand

countered since their arrival here.
