In its Almanac for March it skips Friday, the Thirteenth, aiid comes out on the Four- teenth. The excuse, of course, will be that it was a typographical error. Florida never ratified the Sixteenth— or income tax—amendment to the Con- stitution whic: went into effect in 1913, but that wil excuse to dodge the tax; we have to pay it just the same, nolens volens. be ne Human nature has a yen for gam- bling. So why not have a national lottery as have other nations and do away with; bolita, slot machires and other forms of gambling. Enough profits would result to take care of the unemployed and that kind of motiey could not be betier spent for that purpose. One of the proverbs says that “whose diggeth a pit shall fall therein”. The ef- fort to tax the chain stores out of exist- ence resulted in a Florida supreme court decision approving the tax of one-half of one per centum on the sales of all retail merchants. So now there is a sales tax first sugar-coated in disgui’e, and svon the mer- chants will taste the bitter pill. If Key West is to be made the Ber- muda of the United States, we should flat- ter the island by imitating it in most things. Of course we would not do away with the autompbile which is taboo in Bermuda, but we could paint all the roofs of the houses in this city white and that would give us clearer and cleaner water. In Bermuda all the roofs of howses are painted white and there is a strictly enforced law that every house must have a_ suitable water catch and storage tank.

From their winter resorts nearer to the Equator, the prize denizens of the deep begin to join their Key West cousins as by some secret source of intelligence, they learn of winter’s lessening rigors. The sportsman who limits his stay in Key West to the winter months misses ones of the most memorable pictures in the book of Nature—hundreds of tarpon “rolling” on a moon-lit night through, Ajpril, May and June, their silver scales shining like mirrors in the white light of a Florida moor. Not so illustrious as the Silver King, but even more numerous and_ affording ample sport to the light tackle enthusiast are the vast schools of kingfish which be- gin their migrations as early (Incidentally, the fish plan sions according to the weather, slight attention to the calendar,) Nor are the migrations of the game- sters of the sea confined to these two species. Spring is moving day in fish- land. Along the warmer shoals of reef and coast-line, come the advance guard of the little fellows to their favorite cruising area, Key West waters. In graduated ranks of increasing size and voracity, there follows the army of the devourers and of those about to be de- ured. From the tiny pilchard to the shark and the barracuda that can shear in two your forty-pourd bonita cleanly that you will never feel the tug on your line, they all come from the Caribbean from, the mouth of the Orinoco, from shadowy caverrs in far off coral reefs; they | come ‘9 join the homeguard of flashing | game fish which, throughout the winter o plextifully entertained the North- em sporisman, And he, departing because “the sea- son is over,” hardly ever realizes that what he so hugely enjoyed was really the “off- ” for sport fishing. Nor, does it profit much to tell him. He receives our well meant assurance that there is better fishing in the Spring and Summer, with the same bland, polite in- credulity that he accords to the statement | that it is never so hot here as it is at times in Baltimore, or Philadelphia, or Chicago. | In the first place, it is difficult for him to imagine better fishing than he has had here this winter; in the second place there are so many impossible things in Flo that he considers it to be the part of wis- dom, to disbelieve anything that he is told, on general principles. And so, he never does know what good fishing can be found around Key West, in the “good old summer time.” as their excur- and pay so has seasor SPEED IN FALLING If one should fall from an airplane or balloon at a height however greaf, his ve- locity would never exceed 118 mifes an hour at any point before reaching the earth, according to the conclusions of the Army Air Service as a result of experi- ments made with dummies. This is contrary to the belief formerly te held by most persons that a body con- tinually increased its speed when falling from any distance. The fact is that this! rapid increasing speed in the case of a} body similar to that of a man continues | only until it has fallen about 1,200 feet, | after which it maintains a constant rate, ; due to the resistance of the air. This discovery also explodes. the! theory that a person falling from a great height would lose consciousness and per-| k be dead before striking the ground, | for it is well known that aviators have} riven their planes at speeds of more than | 50 miles an hour on a_ straightaway | course, and at much greater velocities | when diving to make an “outside loop.” | The knowledge that falling speed is’ limited is not of much practical benefit to one who falls from a great height, how-j for the 118 miles an hour possible of | ment is quite sufficient to effective- ; ui him out of business when he strikes! ever, | the earth.
