FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1926. | GREAT EXPANSION SEABOARD LINES — NOW: PLANNED ADDITIONAL TPRACKAGE IN PRO- POSED PROGRAM OF RAILWAY WILL INCLUDE 637 MILES OF NEW LINES ‘ (Ry Associated Press) ! BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 19.—A tremendous program of expansion, involving the addition of 637 miles of trackage to the seaboard air line railway system, calculated to bring $10,000,000 additional annual gross| revenue to the railway, was announc- ed here yesterday by S. Davies War- field, president of the Seaboard. The announcement was contained in a letter addressed to the stockholders offering them the opportunity to ac-} quire stock in a company which will | acquire the necessary acreage on which to build the new trackage. The principal object of the expen- sion program, Mr. Warficid said, was to open a new avenue from the west to the Atlantic seaboard and, to the south. The states of Florida, Geor- gia, and Alabama are the principal ones affected. | The outlined developement follows:' A third line of track to Tampa, St. Petersburg and intermediate and other Florida points. A new short main line to and from these points opening new gateways to the west via the Florida west coast, Perry, Fla., and Albany, Mont- gomery and Birmingham, Ala. A short line to Atlanta and Ma- con, Ga., and intermediate ports. A port line from Atlanta, via Macon, to Jacksonville, Fla. - The shortest line via Macon to Atlanta to Savannah. A new short line from the west via, Birmingham and Montgomery, and also from Atlanta, via a proposed Inglis-Dunellon-Wildwood cut off, to Palm Beach, Miami, and other points on the Florida East Coast and Ridge country. The investment company, in which stockholders of the railway company are offered stock, is capitalized at 500,000 shares of non par value. Shares are priced to them at $25 a share, to the extent of 3¢4,753 shares. Another block of 20,000 shares is of- fered to Seaboard officials below the rank of president as a reward for foregoing land speculation in Flor- i MIAMI TO HAVE NINE PERFORMANCES ARRANG- ED FOR CORAL GABLES STADIUM i | MIAMI, Feb. 19.—Miami is to have a grand opera season—the first ever , arranged in the State of Florida. On March 8, and continuing for eight days, the Chicago Civie Grand Opera Company will appear in nine per- formances at the Coral Gables Sta- dium, Miami. Mary Garden and 70 other high priced artists will sing. There are 320 members of the company which will come to Miami in three special ‘trains. There is an orchestra of 80 pieces and a stage band of 24. There are 90 in the chorus-and 32 in the ballet. In order to arrange for presenta- tion of the operas exactly as seen in the Auditorium in Chicago, the Mi- ami Coliseum Corporation is having erected, at a cost of more than $25,000, a great stage at the Stadium. The Stadium has been covered and 4,400 regulation opera chairs install- ed, so that a regulation opera chair goes with every reserved ticket. The Chicago Civic Grand Opera Company is being brought to Florida at a cost of $200,000. It requires 18 baggage ears to bring the scenery, parapher- nalia and wardrobes. The opening opera Monday night, March 8, will be “Aida,” with such singers as Rosa Raisa, Marchall, Van Gordon and Fimini. Polacco will be the conductor. Tuesday night brings Mary Garden in “Thais”; Wednesday night, “Traviata”; Thursday night, “Madame Butterfly”; Friday “Oth- ello”; Saturday matinee, Mary Gar- den again in “Carmen”; Saturday night, “Il Trovatore”; Sunday mat- inee, “Rigoletto”; and Monday night, “Cavalleria Rustjcana,” followed by “I Pagliacci.’ To abandon comfort and ease for life in a Hindu village is not a change that many women would face with equinimity. An English woman, Miss Madeline Slade, daughter of Admiral Sir Edmund Slade, a former com- mander in chief of the East Indies Naval Station, has renounced the world for social work with Mr. Ghandi, the Indian _ revolutionary leader. Now she is living in a man- ner little more exalted than that of the ordinary peasant’ woman of In- dia. Her meals are scanty, meat of any kind is forbidden, and she has to do her own cooking and washing. of head or chest are more easily Vicks 37 MBean Tors Used Yrer> ye 99 ~ PREDOMINATE AT FLORIDA COLLEGE LIMOUSINES HAVE NO GREATER CHARM FOR STUDENTS THAN CARS OF INFERIOR MAKE;' USED CARS PREFERRED %, There. is no better -evidence of a commendable community spirit than that of loyalty to a town in which a person lives.

No more do the new, shiny, multi- colored, multi-cylindered cars rule supreme on the streets and highways. The “flivver” has come into its own with a vengeance. Not the new, shining product as it comes from the factory, but the aged, “decrepit” and broken-down flivver, is the cock-of- the-walk among the elite of college students. At the University of Florida there are nearly a hundred of the antiquat- ed automobiles enjoying a period of popularity.. Perhaps it is the answer to the used car problem, some assert. The worse they are, the better they are, many think. One 6-year-old “flivver” flits back and forth, covered with white paint, various signs posted on it, as it sags woefully to one side. The top is ragged, but, badly battered as it is, the collegians seem to enjoy it. The cars are painted all colors, some are speckled, others patriotically carry the school colors—bright orange and blue. Some have tops, some half a top, and a great many, have no top at all.
