2 FRIDSY, FEBRT-27 4 ‘SPORTS BY JOVE Conchs Hope 1 To Defeat Strong Typhoons Tonight Facing Perhaps Best Five On East Coast; In Good Shape; Prepared For Tough Battle Key West High School Gonchs, in tip top shape for the first time this season, faces perhaps the most powerful five on the East Coast when they meet the Miami Beach Typhoons tonight at the Gym. Miami Beach's starters will be the veteran forwards, B. Drury and Jack’ Park, Bob Park at cen- ter instead’ of Forrest Weatherby due to Park’s recent splurges, and Art James and Bill Wilcox at guards. Power of the Beach outfit is shown by its victory over “the Mi- “ami High Stingarees, wivieh was thought to be the strongest prep five on: the East Coast. Coach Johnny McGuire is much pleased over the recent work of his Ty- phoons. Key West, known for its won- derful work against upstate teams, is prepared to stop the Beachers with a five man de- fense that is so tight observers Teport it is even hard to see through to the basket.

Give them a tough game, and watch them grit their teeth, tuck their chin in, and put up the scrappiest play you can wish for. We're going in there to- night to hold that fast Beach of- fense and give them a surprise with as fast a counter offense.” A preliminary game, starting at 7:15, will bring together the Convent girls and the High School girls. ‘CRACKS’ SAFE BUT IN LEGAL MANNER (Ry Ansecinted Preas) WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Feb. 4.—-A reporter for @ local newspaper turned. . - be 2 real “wire-worker™ immense relief of employes at nel: and Drovers bank, opened the vault after a! ¢t attempts had failed.

Ce ee Indian Tribe Found That Believed: In Fairies (le Aexmeinted Press) TULSA, Okla. Feb. 4—The American Indian, with his own rich lore of the miraculous and the supernatural, was not given to telling fairy tales, but one tribe has been found which told such tales around the camp fires. William Cunningham, director of the state writers’ project of the Works Progress Administration, said a project worker had found vestiges of European fairy tales among the Cherokee Indian tribe. Cunningham said the investiga- tor had been advised the fairy tales probably were picked up from Scottish pioneers, who min- gled with the tribe and intermar- ried generations ago. But, Cunningham said, the tales undoubtedly were told for the worker had been able to- locate three miles south of Salina a spot where Indian legend had it the fairies lived. Cowboys Sit Down —They Der Demand Beer ay haiibines Press) MELROSE, Mont., Feb. 4.—It was hot and dusty in the Streb ranch corral and the cowboys were thirsty.

But it was a long drive to town and the rancher said he reckoned the gentlemen of sun and saddle leather would have to get along with just plain water. And so was born the first sit- sine | down strike of rangeland.

Works Progress Admiistration’ project for an officia} survey of Florida's mammoth touri: Frank Gough, ch: of and conventian commii of the Florida State Chamber of Com- meree said he had been advised today. Mr. Gough’s information came to him in a telegram from Senator Charles O. Andrews, who said the project is being sponsored by the Florida Railroad Commission. The Federal contribution will be $85,746, he said. The sponsor’s contribution was not quoted. Sen- ator Andrews said he considered the project a very valuable one and that he will try to hurry it through regional and state offices of the WPA in order to expedite it as quickly as possible. The survey will determine the answers to such interesting ques- tions as ‘ftom what other states Florida visitors come, the length of time they spend in the Sun- shine State and the amount of money they leave with Florida business men, Mr. Gough states Recreational facilities, housing ac- commodations and other infor- mation of interest to the visitor and home-seeker will also be cov- ered in the survey. All this information will be gathered as quickly as possible and will be of great assistance to Florida interests in more intel- ligently soliciting tourist business from other areas, advertising Florida attractions and concen- trating Florida advertising and publicity where it will be the most effective, hé declared. His committee and the state chamber. will both aid and assist the Railroad Commission and the tourist project in every way pos- sible, Mr. Gough pledged.

NEW PROJECTS ARE PLANNED TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT AND FURNISH HOUSING FOR WORKERS CLEWISTON, Feb. 4 (FNS).— In order to provide employment for Florida workers and to fur- nish housing for employes, the United States Sugar Corporation will undertake four new projects, Clarence R. Bitting. president of the corporation, announced this; week. The sugar corporation, accord- ing to, Bitting’s announcement, will build more than 100 cotages on its sugar cane plantations in Lake Okeechobee section, to be inhabited by labgtesp who plant and harvest cane, and employees: of the mill whera tiieicane is con- verted-into raw sugar The juilding also in- “Glades; the col m of 12 "homes, guetatiteds the capital for aa &0-thom hotel atClewiston and the erection of a 2,Q00,000-galion tank for storing molasses at the sugar mill “Since the beginning of the re- cent récession in industrial ac- tivity”, Bitting said in the an- nouncement, “the United States Suger Corporation has, through varioug projects, endeavored to do its part in halting what many claim is another depression.

Walter P. Fuller, representative from Pinellas county and well- known tax expert, explodes what he terms the “myth of increasing cost of state government”. In an article te the St. Petersburg Times he shows the unfairness of com- paring the 14 million dollars ex- Penditure for state goWernment under Governor Hardee with the 50 millions spent by the state last Year, and shows that service for service costs are considerable ley now than then. 2 Of the 50 millions the state col- lected last year, Fuller states, 22 millions were distributed back to the courfties and therefore did not represent cost of state “govern- ment at all. Another three mil- lion was given by the Federal government and spent on new + gadgets of governmental service not existing at the time of Gov- ernor Hardee. Another seven millions represents increased costs of state road construction which in reality is merely a trans- fer of costs from county to state government. That leaves approximately 18 millions spent under Cone against 14 millions under Hardee for ap- proximately the same govern- mental services rendered by the state for its people. But there were about a million people in Florida when Hardee started gov- erning as compared with more than 1,600,000 under Cone. This gives a $14 unit cost under Har- dee as compared with a $12 unit cost under Corie. Total government in Florida— state, county, city—cost in 1925 approximately $140,000,000. Last ear the cost was approximately $90,000,000. Discussing arguments for the abolishment of “useless boards and commissions”, which do all AL dh de ed Sawmill Town Goes To Highest Bidder MANNING. Tex. Feb. 4— y hathaitadiatentads Eiks’ Official ‘Hello Bil’ Originated In 1890 Drama (My Axseciated Press) SANTA MONICA, Calif. Feb. 4—A good many member Elks probably use the lodge’s greeting. “Hello, Bill”, without knowing how the greeting originated. But Colin Campbell Taylor, veteran playwright and actor residing here. a life member of the Elks, and holder of Card No. 47, issued by Lodge No. 1, New York, says he is responsible “In 1890”, sdys Taylor, “I wrote a play called ‘Hello, Bill’. It was originally produced in Minneapo® (4, lis. Some of my brother Elks saw it and liked it, and the following year ‘Hello, Bill’ was adopted as our official greeting”. BUTCHER TAKES CAKE AS BILL COLLECTOR (By Associated Press) LONDON, Feb. 4.—A butcher's bright idea may revolutionize debt-collecting in Britain. William Webb, who sells alf kinds of meat to the families of Worthing, a coast resort, put this notice in his store window: “This business has been com- pelled to close owing to bad debts. A list will shortly be shown giv- ing the names and amounts ow- ing”. Right away the money began rolling in. Trade organizations throughout the country are study- ing the possibilities of the new system. LEGALS the “wasting” of public funds. 5 Fuller says that they exist be- cause our simple and elemental constitution of 1885 did not pro- vide for them. A$ new duties and responsibilities of government have grown up, it has been neces- sary to provide for them by leg- islation creating a “board” to ad- minister duties not allocated to some constitutional officer. There are all together 58 boards —maybe 60—depending on what is called a board. Of that num- ber 12 are merely the cabinet of- ficers on whom is saddled addi- tional duties, such as the internal improvement board which admin- isters state lands; board of ad- ministration which handles gaso- line money; board of education, ete. They cost no money except trivial office expense, so abolish- ing them will save no money for the taxpayers. Another large group of boards are for various branches of the medical arts, beauty culture, etc., all of which are supported by fees from those benefited. So: there is no saving there. Another jarge group are honorary or minor in character. They perform worthy | or important functions but cost little or no money. The only boards subject to debate, he states, are the Board of Health, Plant Board, Board of Control. Highway Department, Liquor Board, Conservation Board, La- bor Board and Marketing Board. Which of these, he asks, should be abolished? Just as private life grows more complicated, he concludes, the tools and ways of industry, de mestic science, pleasure, occupa- tions and science grow more num- erous and complicated; just so does political and public life grow more involved. ._More and more do the peaple demand of govern- cost rises.
