The invention of the submarine seems to necessitate the introduction of a qualifying clause into the here~ tofore undisputed dictum that “Britannia Rules the Waves.” PRI SIS As a counter-irritant that ap~ proaching session of the Florida leg. islature will be just the medicine we all need to relieve our harried nerves of the daily war strain. Prodding the legislature—which can never hit back—is great sport. To impale a solon and see him wiggle s as good as catching perch. S e Many of the big dallies are now giving much space to Billy Sunday and Pastor Russell m their red -hot discussion of hell, its temperature and time limit, Billy being strong for hell and the Pastor quite other- wise. The subject 1s of course vast- ly important, but what most people want to know right now is the time limit of that hell over in Europe. —— s The Jacksonville' Metropolis is so enthusiastic over its home town that it now calls it “the New York of the South.” Eliminating the element of magnitude, why not? Tampa would probably be satisfied to be classed as the Chicago of the South, and thus there could be no jealousy between our two chief cities. e ety The reporters of the big papers, while giving Billy Sunday abundant Pbublicity, have nevertheless been trying to write him down and Pre sent him as a boisterous baseball bully in the pulpit and coarse, slang. whanging seeker after notoriety. But people less prejudiced than re- porters hunting for sensatlions, and perhapg more capable of estimating the man at his true value, take a very different view of this now fam- ous evangelist. A correspondent of the Orlando Reporter-Star heard him the other day in Philadelphia and concludes an article about him With these words: “My estimate of him deliberately formed is that he 1s a man of God. chosen at this oritical time in the history of American Christianity and invested by nature and by grace with a peculiar power, and sent forth to lead a great spiritual awak ening. Is it not remarkable that he should come out of the heart of America’s greatest and distinctive sport, baseball? According to For- 6yth’s prophecy, ‘The Gospel is to be carried to men in new and unheard of ways.’ But best of all, it is the same old Gospel. Tn all the land there is not.a man who preaches with more courage, force, tenderness @nd effectiveness that Jesus is the only Saviour and that man needs and must have a dlivine Saviour, than thig same notable baseball man, affectionately dubbed, ‘Billy* Sun- day.” —————t TORNING WASTE INTO*PROFT (By E. A. Moreno) Down in Florida, where noth- ing knocks save opportunity, to the man whose mind is sane and level, came an art glass artist one day in search of the fountain of health among the balsam air of the pines, the perpetual sun- shine, and sparkling waters of the little city of Auburndale. He had studied in the ateliers of New York, Paris and Vienna, had copied the old masters in the Vatican and the Louvre, and his handiwork embellished some of the noblest churches and homes of the lovers of his art. He knew the chemistry of glass and colors, but of citrus fruits, their culture and proper- ties, he only knew from having eaten them and been told of the fortunes made from the groves, which either increased or dimin- ished according to the enthus- iasm of the story teller. He was neither a millionaire nor a pauper, and as a prudent man, was bent on investigating before deciding what form of invest- ment he should make. Health was his first object; the other could come later, and health he found in abundance and today, Hour years from his coming, he is as able and hearty as he ever could wish to be and what he ifound among the citrus groves is the reason of this story. A promise that means the treb- bling of values to one of Flori- da’s greatest industries in the use of what was looked upon as a necessary loss by the growers of our fruits; and opportunity discarded and overlooked ever since the first or- ange or grapefruit grew, the “cull” or unmarketable fruit, caused by windfall or insect at- tack ruining its appearance. In this connection it is not to be understood that by the term “cull” is meant that fruit that is unfit for human consumption or that it would be injurious to any one if eaten, but that fruit that is too large, too scarred by injury to its rind, or by “russet- ing,” to make it tempt the eye of the purchaser whose discrim- inating taste demands the bright, glossy fruit in the mark- ets. Indeed, by many the “cull” orange is deemed the sweetest of the oranges and the knowing ones, when in the grove always pick the dark brown fruit for their own enjoyment, and when the term “cull” is used this def- inition must be borne in mind so that no prejudice shall be created. The story of his find is the story of two years of hard work in the canning factories, labora- tories, syrup manufacturies and soda dispenseries in the North and West. Days of toil at home and nights of study, suc- cess almost achieved and disap- pointments that seemed almost insurmountable. Going to school again with test tube agents and reagents, flask and retort, treatises and text books, mastering the most elusive science in the world, that of chemistry, the most capricious mistress that man has ever wooed. Foiling, baffling, prom- ising all only to elude and lead into a dazzling maze, then sud- denly surrendering with triumph that is intoxicating, But he won, and the name of Charles Langley will be hed in grateful : G OF THE I MAJESTIC CONTESTANTS (By Contest Manager.)
