Senator Gomez, who publicly — pro- claimed that he would “break that ring” disereetly chose the better part of valor end joined it, Politics continue to make strange bed-fellows. Paul G. Jeans, militant editor of the Miami Daily Tribune, who lod his life last » week in an automobile accident, for a long «time seemed a likely target for one of his whom he subjected to bitter objurgations in his newspaper, but fate willed that he be one of the daily hun- dreds to be struck down on the highway by the death-dealing four-wheeled de- stroyer. Somebody is always knocking the props trom under our pet beliefs. We are told Now there never was a William Tell, that he was a fictitious character, and that Paul Revere never did make the famous midnight ride, that it was a fellow by the of Dr. Prescott. Be that as it may, ever comes along and tells about George Washing- “cherr tree is a myth, we'll be tempiied to knock off his block. here are extravagancies in many | state@bureaus, and with a governor who! Tavom® strictest economy and business-like | methods in the chair, these abuses should be corrected. But in bas relief stands out the extravagant costs of the operation ef the state racing commission, which started out with 6.8 per cent in 1932 and wky-rocketed to the unbelievable height of | 8 per cent in 1036. On the other hand, | California, where racing is also legalized has & percentage of cost amounting to only 1.2. The rottenness isn’t in Denmark; it’s right here in Florida. | PT —. ‘Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Co- ‘public health nur gng relative to the cost of the World War, but the figures are so large that it is impos- sible for the human mind to grasp their significance. ‘In an effort to put these figures into somewhat more understandable form, Dr. lumbia University, tells what might have been done with the 400 billion dollars spent on account of the war, as follows: “The World War, all told, cost— apart from 30 million lives—400 __ billion dollars. With that money we could have built a $2,500 house, furnished it with $1,- 000 worth of furniture, placed it on five acres of land worth $100 an acre and given this home to each and every family in the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany and Russia. We could have given to each city of 20,000 inhabitants and over, in each country named, a five million dollar library and a ten million dollar uni- versity. Out of what was left we could have set aside a sum at five per cent that would provide a $1,000 yearly salary for an army of 125,000 teachers and i. like salary for another — nurses.” : Yet there is con er war. It would: now if the nations had whereby it could be fina bound to come eventually, this an age of civilization. “An MEDICINE MAN A PEST ‘ Saescaeies Among certain Indian tribes the tra- ditional medicine man not only fails to do his patients any good, but makes it diffi- cult for white physicians to treat them satisfactorily, according to the director of among Wisconsin tribes. Reports from nurses on duty among ‘the Indians of that state indicate that the tribal medicine men still hold a super- ‘stitious power over their people and are jealous of the white man’s methods. As a result the white doctors and nurses are} ‘not called in many cases until after the "medicine man has done his worst. Under such circumstances the white doctor is at a serious disadvantage and the patient often dies through lack of proper early treatment. When this happens the native medi- cine man points ‘to the white physician’s failure as proof of his own guperiority. And it is sometimes difficult, if not impos- sible, to convince the redskins that their | medicine man is wrong. In fact, it is not} best to criticize him much, as that sonia stir up racial feeling and make matters worse. The policy of the white doctors and nurses i to try to gradually win the In- ‘dians over from superstition to scientific measures, and in this steady progress is being made. But the native medicine man is still a pest to be reckoned with, and a long campaign of educatiom will be re- quired to destroy his influence among the more backward members of the tribew. ' How a term originally of local sig- icance may acquire a far wider mean- ing is seen in the use of the name “Mason and Dixon’s Line,” the popular name of ; the boundary line between Pennsylvania | and Maryland. Because of a dispute between William Penn and Lord Baltimore over the boun-+ dary which divided their respective colo- nies in 1682, the controversy was continued by them and their heirs- for nearly 80 years. Finally, in 1763, two surveyors, Charles Mayon and Jeremiah Dixon, were} given the task of establishing the line, to} which the disputants agreed. The line was originally marked by milestones, every fifth stone bearing on one side the Penn coat of arms and on the other that of Lord Baltimore. The name was afterwards popularly | applied to designate an imaginary line | separating the free and slave states, the | phrage being first used in that sense by | John Randolph in a speech in Congress in! 1820. Newspapers and the public took up| the expression and “Mason and _ Dixon's! Line” has been used to designate the di-| viding line between North and South ever! since, 4 degree team will be included and s this city better, bigger and er than ever.” Continuing the president said “I have come to, your country and stopped only an Key West before going to Wash-; ington, because I wish to renew the friendships made on my pre- vious trip to this city. Key West is close to us in Cuba and we are’ are interested in her great over-! sea highway on which I rode to-" day. Just tell the people of Key, West that 1 am glad to be with them again and have enjoyed every moment of my visit.” Shriners about 300 strong and accompanied by about 80 women will pass through Key West to- morrow on their way to Havana where a ceremonial will be staged.
