Second Section TRAVELERS PUZZLED BY FLORIDA RIVERS Disappearing Waterways Fool | | | with the scenery of Natives as Well as Strangers Tallahassee, Fla, Sebt. 21,~The traveler in West ida, unfamiliar seotion, showld prepare himself for some curious freaks of pature, Otherwise he may waste unnecessary time groping for an | explanation of the strange behavior of three of the state's rivers, The old pea and shell game expression, “Now you see It and now you don't,' ap- plies to parts of all of them, A description of these streams has heen written by W. A, McRae, com- Pinissionar of dgriculturs, who quotes & young man who has spent his life on the banks of the waterways” The substance of it follows: The Wacissa rises In “Beautiful near Thomas City, on the ee-Southeastern raliroad, not | far from the state capital, and flows due south to within three miles of the Aucilla river where |t disappears underground and then reappears in the Aucilla Logmen have cut a small canal from the point of disap- | pearance to the Auellin. The Aucllla rises in Georgia and flows in a southwesterly direction forming the eastern boundary of Jef- ferson county, Florida. About three miles south of where the Tallahas- see-Southeastern forms a Junction with this river, the Aucilla sinks and runs underground in a winding way for possibly 12 miles, rising about three miles north of where the Wacls- sa comes into it from below the earth. The conurse of the river is traced by sink-holeg, and it can be seen plainly. As proof of this ,an object dropped into the stream where it first sinks is seen to rise and pass through the va- rious sinks to the point 42 miles be- low where it finally comes to the surs face. The 8t. Marks, the third of the “sunken rivers,” 18 a few miles to the west of the Wacissa. and Aucilla. It also sinks and rises again a short dfs- | tance away, making Florida's “Natur- | al Bridge.” At this point one of the state's hardest battles was fought in the Civil war, mostly by old men and cadets from the West Florida Semin- ary at Tallahassee, on the Confeder- ate side. A monument was erected there in 1922 by funds appropriated by the legislature, and was dedicated Memorial Day, 1922, to the memory of the Confederate soldiers who lost their lives in the fight. REFUGE FOR EXTLES Colony of Deposed German Nobility Being Formed in the Dutch West Indian Yslands, London, Sept. 21.—The Dutch West Indies may become a place of refuge for exiled members of the German nobility. These colonies consist of the Islands of the Curacao group, off the shores of Venezuela and Dutch | Gulana, on the north coast of South | America. Representatives of such exiles have been looking for a suitable | country where property might be pur- | chased without undue criticism, and | sfand for. depleted capital lald out to advantage. Already some purchases have been made, the most notable being that of the former reigning Duke of Meck« lenburg, who himself recently made a trip to the West Indies and purchas- od several large plantations. His ac- tion has heen copied by mauny of the legser nobles, and it is expected a col- ony of these exiles shortly will be set- tled on the islands. LOW TAXES ON ISLANDS London, Sept. 21.—The Channel is- lands are getting better and better every day from the point of view of the earth!y bachelor. Here there is no {ncome tax, no corporation tax only a nominal state tax, no early closing laws, no prohibition, and now the leg- islature has refused to pass a bill which would allow women over the age of 30 to sit as members of the house of deputies. About 65 per cent of the world's talc is produced in the United States.

MOVE T0 END FEMALE MINE LABOR IN INDIA Government Contemplating Taking Move Similar to One Taken in FEngland in 1842 Simia, Indla, Sept. 21.—The ques- tion of the advisability of prohibiting the employment of wt(men in mines has again been.taken up by the gov- ernment of India. At present about one-third of the mine workers in Indla are women. Since 1842 women have been exclufied from mines in Eng- land; in 1901 an attempt wasmade to prohibit them from Indlan mines. This effort failed on account of violent opposition on the part of employers. Expression was given to the fear that if sttps were taken to prevent women relatives of men workers from going below the latter would themselves re- fuse to work in mines The department of Industries and labor of the central government has sent a Jetter to each of the provincial goverpments, asking for advice with regard to possible legislation again the employment of women in mines. “Since 1901,” says this letter, “min- ing conditions have undergone a con- siderable change. Indian mining is no longer in {ts infancy; the mines are deeper, and the risk of danger is ac- centuated. There is a steadily increas- ing body of public opinion which strongly deprecates the continued em- ployment of women in mines."” Opposition to this proposed reform has already been started by the Brit- ish imperialist press in Indla. It is argued that conditions of employment in Indlan ‘mines are fundamentally different from those in Western coun- tries, and that Indlan mine labor works in family gangs, women assist- ing their relatives and helping to swell their earnings.
