but they also do not have suffici-
ent equipment and staff to minis
ter to the sick and injured. They
do not have enough resources to
run existing facilities. Since the

l have felt for some time that
there are many worthy young
people in Florida deserving of as
sistance in getting an education.
Many of our citizens of Florida
cannot obtain an education COM
mensurate with their ambitions
and ability, primarily because
they do not have the money.
We should aid such worthy
individuals through public fl
nanced tuition loans, scholar
ships and fellowships. We should
give federal aid to the States to
raise teachers salaries and edu-
cation standards, but exclusive
control over education must re-
main in the hands of our State
and local authorities where it
always has been.
At the last session of Congress,
| Senators Murray of Montana,
Morse of Oregon, and myself in
troduced. a bill to aid educa-
ton. This bill authorized $4,000
900 for the first year and gradu-
ally up to $350,000,000 in the 10th
year to enable young persons OF
ability to finish the last two
years of high school and higher
educational institutions by means
! of scholarships and awards of
fellowships. $5OO,O0o,0oO is also
authorized under the bill for the
first year and gradually up to
$1,000, OO0,0 900 in the tenth year to
eoualize opportunities in second
airy and higher educational oe-
| tween the states.
Very truly yours,

Hayes To Head Golf Club;
Lopez Tells OF Miami Open

At the yearly election of Of
ficers held by the Key West Golf
Club last night at the club house,
DIR. Jack Hayes was elected pres
ident; Glenn Price, tournament

bership chairman; Sam Gold
smith, green's chairman; Robert
Dopp, entertainment chairman;
Horace O'Bryant, secretary-treas-
urer; Anthony Derneritt, Ward
Tyson and Norman Artman, di-

All officers were unopposed.
Demeritt, being the outgoing
president, was automatically
given dictatorship. Tyson and
Artman were the highest two OF
six nominations in the secret bal
lot.
The retiring president, Tony
Dcmeritt, thanked the members
for the fine cooperation given
him during his tenure in office
and singled out the efforts of
Bob billiard, Harry Knight and
Jack Sellers.
Certificates were presented to
the winners and runners-up of
the three flights tournament
held during the Fall. Trophies
which were to have been award
ed have not yet arrived. The
certificates were wittily written
and took good-natured slaps at
all except Horace O'Bryant, who
was runner-up in the second
flight.
Joe Lopez, club professional,
gave a short talk regarding the
Miami Open, in which he placed
just out of the money and ahead
of many golfing name players.

Lear FRIENDS:
During the past few weeks
have been visiting various parts
of the State. I have received a
number of inquiries from offici-
ais and leading citizens of many
Florida communities concerning
the lack of adequate hospital ia
cilities and financial aid for the
construction of more hospitals. I
know there is great need for
more hospital beds and better
hospital services in Florida. In
1915. "a of our counties had no
general or allied special thospit-
ais and four others had hospitals
with 25 beds or less.
Preliminary estimates of the
United States Public Health Ser
vice shows that Florida needs at
least 10000 more hospital beds
in our general and allied special
hospitals, tuberculosis institu-
tons, and mental institutions.
Yet. under The Federal Hospital
Construction Act passed by Con-
gress, about 300 of these beds
would be provided. And these
calculations do not take care of
the 5000 existing bed facilities
which have become obsolete and
which need to be replaced.
The Congress in 1916 passed
this act to give financial assist
ance to the States for the con-
struction of hospitals. Under the
act, 100000 is authorized to be
granted to the States for surveys
of existing hospital facilities and
for planning and $75,000,000 a
year for the next five years for
the construction of hospitals.
Congress actually appropriated
monies for the surveys, but did
not appropriate anything for
construction, probably on the as
sumption that it will do SO after
the surveys have been made and
the need established.
While the amount which could
be granted to Florida for hospital
surveys might be as high as SAL
900, the amount actually given
was $22,500 because the full 3d.
100000 was not appropriated by
Congress. The State of Florida
puts up twice this amount for
the surveys.
The Florida Improvement Com
mission has been designated as
the official state agency to take
charge of the surveys. | urge any
community in Florida in need OF a
hospital or of one or more faclll-
ties to get in touch with {. II.

states. At the next Congress
will seek to amend this provision

LONGER SKIRTS.
From Mrs. F. A. w., Washington
At the risk Of being severely CEN
sored would like to respectfully
take the other side In the discussion
Of length of dresses, etc.
Youth cannot be hidden no mat
ter how 1t dresses, and q short skirt
canot rejuvenate an old woman. One
glance at face, neck, hair and facial
expression tells the whole story
This is not q case of "sour grapes
because I am continually compl-
mented on my two redeeming fea-
lures, which are hair and figure
But I am so weary of the ever-re-
curing sight Of women's legs OF
all ages, sizes and conditions that
would welcome almost anything
from Grecian drapery to Indian
blankets that would at least temper
arily, blot them out Of the picture
Furthermore, I believe the brazen
appearance of American women Is
vastly responsible for the daring be-
haviour and the deplorable GRIM
inal tendencies among teen-agers
and children that we read so much
about these days.
