WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1926. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FOOTBALL SQUAD | MAKES READY FOR PRACTICE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TEAM WILL STEP OUT ON SEPTEMBER 6 FOR ACTIV- ITIES (By Associated Press) GAINESVILLE, Fla., Aug 11. The University of Florida grid- iron squad will turn out for prac- tice on Monday, September 6, which is ihe earliest date per- mitted under the regulations of ithe Southern Conference, that body restricting practice until the first Monday in September. Coach Tom Sebring will have three weeks of drill in which to ‘prepare for the opening game with Southern College, which heads the Jiet of the ten contests scheduled. Six of these games will be played in Florida—three at Gainesville, two at Jacksonville, and one at} ‘Tampa. A call ot members of the squad wll be sent out within a few days by James R. Boyd, graduate man- ager. A large number of men are expected to report for the Tirst day’s practice. The ’Gators have suffered the joss of many of their strongest men but will be aided by recruits from last year’s crack freshman team. Last season the varsity «fgced no inter-sectional foe but this year the youthful mentor will take his men into the Midwest for the second game of the season— and what they believe to be their first real struggle—as they say Southern College will offer about as much opposition to Florida as the ’Gators will place against Chi- cago. In addition to the inter-section- al game, Florida will face six ference opponents. Among thease are Georgia, Washington and Lee, and Mississippi. Georgia and Mis- sissippi are newcomers to the ” tor schedule. A clash with the championship Alabama team is carded for November 13 at Mont- gomery. ebecde OF SPORTS ecccccecccceccs Racing: Mesting of Saratoga Association, at Saratoga.

Darnall eencaace eace Among the recent class reunions at Amherst College was that of the class of 1861. Rev. Edwin A. Adams of Walpole, Mass., is pres- ident of the class and also holds all the other offices, being the only surviving member. Admiral Peary was the first to declare that"Dr. Cook lied about | reaching the North Pole. Now Capt.Riiser-Larsen, navigaor of the Norge, says that Peary didn’t reach it either. If this sort of thing keeps up we may begin to doubt if any one got there, es- pecially as none of them brought he pole back as proof. Congressman Bloom of New York declared in a speech that the United States produces 60 per gent of the world’s cotton, 65 per zent of its oil, 75 per cent of iis corn, 80 per cent of its automo- biles and 85 per cent of its moving pictures, although we have anly 6 per cent of the world’s land and 7 per cent of its population. Per- haps these are some of the rea- sons why the rest of the world doesn’t like us. Alonzo B. See, critic of modern education, says that “to make wo- men normal again afier four years in college studying psychoanalysis, inferiority complex, the hereness of the there, and the wentness of the gone, is an utter impossibili- ty.” Hugh Dillman, former actor, who recenily married the widow of Horace E. Dodge, one of the world’s wealthiest women, says that he still loves the stage, but feels that one has to work too hard for what he gets out of it. He naively adds, “IL have found that there is more money to be madé in other pursuits.” Particularly in the successful pursuit of a rich widow. Again the practical joker has gotten in his deadly work. Paul Bethamen, head of a family and a weaver of West New York, N. J., woke up in jail and asked why he was there. The joker _ said, ‘You’re in for murder.” A little later Bethamen hanged himself. The police docket showed that he had been arrested fo. nothing more serious than intoxication. os Jack Jones, roughneck member of the British parliament, recent- ly interrupted Lady Astor’s speech ‘by calling her a liar. Asked by the speaker to withdraw the ugly remark, Jones said: “All right, let as call it, ‘terminological inexacti- tude.’ ” For ways that are dark. the hea- then Chinee has nothing on the Niagara Falls taxi-driver, accord- ing tg a visitor who arrived at nigh® and asked to be driven to the Imperial hotel. After a quite lengthy ride he was safely dropped at his destination and paid a fee of $4. Next morning he asked the distance back to the station and was told that it was just across the street. Vain Americans who seek to trace their English ancestors may always secure a highly flattering list of forebears by applying .to one of the numerous “pedigree peddlers,” of London, who make a business of manufacturing fam- ily trees to. order. The British press recently warned Amer'can visitors against these swindlers. Allan B. Cleare & Co.| ‘Wholesale Grocers ang Commission Merchants 611 FRONT STREET P.O.

Carmi Thompson, President Coolidge’s emissary in ihe Philippine Islands, recently learned may become an important source. of. sugar, has long been valued in the economic life of the Islands. Jt supplies shelter and food, but it also furn- ishes the basis of “vino,” one of the most braincorroding liquids | produced by the talented amateur distillers of the’Orient. It is thus a tree of both good:and evil fruit. As it grows wild in the Islands —it is but little cultivated as yet —it produces a mass of tangled} | AND YOU'RE OFF | prostrate trunks that sprawl on| the ground, after the fashion of the palmetto of our own South. Up from these trunks rise short stems, each with its head of leaves, bearing the flowering structures. The leaves are the favorite thatch material in the Phillippines, and jthe fruits of the plant contain }hard, white, edible kernels. But the most important thing about the nipa palm, from th point of view of the bibulous male Filipino at least, is the sirupy sap that can be obtained in quantity by cutting off the thick flowering stem. This can be boiled for su- gar or made into vinegar—but more frequently ‘it isn’t. It is fermented, and the — resultant 124 DUVAL STREET liquor, potent enought even in its natural state, is put through a erude distillation process. The result. is “vino,” one gill of which can put the best-diciplined dough- boy into the guardhouse for any- thing from kicking his command- ing general to shooting up @ pray- er meeting. If nipa juice can be diverted from its present ways of sin to the sweet sobriety of sugar, veteran Regulars say, it will bea good thing for the Phillipines.
