Tampa Times AR S The newspapers are congratulat- ing their respective counties because ih most instances the delinquent tax ligts are unusually small. A big de- linquent tax list means money for the publisher, but speaks ill of con ditions generally, and the newspa- pers are patriotic enough to prefer to see their countes in good shape rather than profit by an evidence of general depression. PR B \War, at the ratio of 16 to T, has been declared by the Brad- entown Journal against the Tampa Tribune. That is to say an inch paragraph from the Tri- bune called for sixteen inches of rebuttal, denial, and an evi- dent intention of an enforce- met of ‘“strict ccountability.” The Tribune’s answer to this “note” will be awaited with in- terest.

(By Associated Press) Alexander, Va., May 26—Marking the point from whick Major General Edward Braddock and his force of with Colonel George Washington as April, 1755, on the disastrous expe- dition to take Fort Duquesne, the !present site of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the war against the French and In- dians, an interesting monument was unveiled here today by the society of the Colonial Dames of Virginia. Many members of the society of Colonial Dames, the Daughters of {the American Revolution and other jpatriotic societies from various parts ~of Virgina, the District of Columbia, ' Maryland and Pennsylvania witness- ed the presentation of the monument { to officials of the city of Alexandria. Many of those present will take part tomorrow in the unveiling of a sim- ilar monument at Winchester, Vir- ginia. One of the old British cannon abandoned here by General Brad- dock surmounts the monument. For many years the cannon had stood upright in the earth at one of the city’s street corners as a marker and was an object of interest to sight- seers. By an act of the city council several years ago the ancient piece of ordnance, brought from England by General Braddock when he came out to Virginia as generallissimo of all the British forces in the Ameri- can Colonies in the war against the French, was turned over to the Mount Vernon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. That . organization today formally presented it to the Vir- ginia Colonial Dames under whose auspices the monument was erect- ed. Forming the base of the monu- ment and mounting the old cannon are other relics of by-gone days in the shape of cobblestones which for more than a century had served the city of Alexandria as paving in some of its principal streets and which show the ruts worn by the artillery and transport of the orthern armies during the Civil War. The stones are said by tradition to have been laid on Alexandria’s streets by Hes- sian soldiers captured in the war of the Revolution by the Continental troops. A bronze tablet on one side of the base of the monument bears this in- scription: “This monument marks the trail taken by the army of General Brad- dock, which left in April, 1755, to defend the Western Frontier against the French and Indians. Erected by the Society of the Colonial Dames of Virginia, May 26, 1915.” On the opposite side of the bould- er-embedded base this inscription appears on another tablet of bronze: “The cannon used here was abandoned by General Braddock at old Alexandria, April, 1755. The Cobblestones composing the mount were taken from the streets of Alex- andria where they were placed in 1785 by act of the Virginia House of Burgesses.” General Braddock’s expedition, plans of which he related to Benja- min Franklin in a conference at Fredericktown, was to march to Fort Duquesne. “After taking Fort Duquesne,” the General is quoted as saying, ‘I am to proceed to Niagra; and, hav- ing taken that, to Frontenac if the season will allow time, and I sup- pose it will, for Duquesne can hard- ly detain me above three or four days; and then I can see nothing to obstruct my march to Niagara.” In the battle at Fort Duquesne, July 9, 1755, General Braddock was mortally wounded. Colonel George Washington was the only member of his staff to escape unhurt. The British and Colonials lost 677 offi- cers and men killed or wounded out of 1,459 engaged, while the French loss was trifiling, and only the aide-de-camp, departed from here in . ‘i NEW YORK DAY BY DAY | New York, May 26—Question: At | what age does a woman cease to be | young? | Answer: Never—if she lives in New York. tof the state. The artist and I reached that conclusion yesterday, after stigation inspired by a dis- ! patch from Boston. In Boston it seems, they consider thirty to be tg2 fatal Rubicon between feminine youth and age. en's Christian Association is about 'to oust all women boarders over the 'age of one score and ten, thus de- i fining clearly the time when a wom- an ceases to be young—in Boston. | Those of us who are acquainted | with the town know that, in more 'ways than one, Boston is an old The Young Wom-, A BUSY SUMMER. The coming summer in Flor- jida for the farmer will be with- {out a parallel in the past history Never before have |we seen, a few months ahead, such a dire need in the world’s market for everything that Flor- ida can raise to eat. With their own hands cultivated to the highest state of been Europeans nations have heavily for foodstuffs. mains, which have heretofore contribute one thing ,ladies’ home let loose on the land- scape. The aged Boston female of thirty-one is simply a practical ex- ample of nature’s law of adjustment to environment. On the other hand, if Ponce de Leon had arrived but a few hundred years later and miles further north, he would surely have found his Fountain of Youth on the Fifth Avenue of today. Amusing, if you like, but also gallant, is the New York woman's refusal to acknowledge age. Not 'for her the shapeless wrapper and slippers, the rocking chair and bag of peppermints, the long afternoon nap. At sixty she dresses smartly and sits in a straight-backed chair by choice, while foxtrots and suf- frage clubs leave her no time for napping. Did you never notice the astonish- ing small number of females in New York who have gray hair? We noted not more than two or three in our pilgrimage down the Avenue and through various tea rooms. Even those women whose faces, after shrewd study, showed traces of advancing years, possessed blond or brown coiffures Gray hair is de- cidely “out!” On that move, at least, Mme. Manhattan has succeed- ed in checking Father Time.

SOUTHEASTERN SANITARY ASSOCIATION Asheville, N. C.,, May 25—Dr. Clarence E. Smith, secretary of the Southeastern Sanitary Association called the association together today in its third annual conference, wih over a hundred representatives pres- ent from Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. The association, which was organized three years ago at the meeting of the U. S. public health service has been fostered by the department of agriculture at Washington the U.

Seeking ideas of Chicago shippers and tips on ways to better its freight service, a committee of traffic and operating officials of the Lehigh Val- ley Railroad is visiting Chicago.
