Mrs. Robert Dhu Macdonald, well-known resident of Winter Park, wholast year gave $1000 for the renova-tion of Cloverleaf Cottage, the girls'dormitory of Rollins College, has re-cently presented to the college Mu-seum a unique gavel which will addinterest to the already varied collec-tion in Knowles Hall. The wood fromwhich the gavel was made was partof the twenty or more Egyptian cy-press trees which were ' presented toMonsieur Jumel by Emperor Napol-eon I. They were brought to Ameri-ca and planted on a par of the prop-erty belonging to M. Jumel, now apart of New ork City. Thirteen ofthese trees survived and flourishedThe property passed through severalhands until there seemed in lateryears a prospect of its being purchas-ed for the purpose of a specious roadhouse. This possibility stimulated theDaughters of the American Revolu-tion to petition the City of New Yorkto buy the old mansion and give it incustody of the several New York Citychapters to be used as a museum ofcolonial and revolutionary relics andas a meeting place for patriotic cele-brations on Washington's Birthdayand other patriotic holidays. Gen-eral Washington had made this man-sion his headquarters for a time dur-ing the Revolutionary War.

The Ciry finally granted the urg-ent petition of the Daughters of theAmerican Revolution and purchasedthe mansion. It as given in the cus-

•Signs- sifglfsiSsecE " the fact that the%rees would inevitably be sacrificedto make way for apartment houses.and unless rescued promptly, wouldbe utterly lost and their historic valueunrecorded.

Mrs. William' Cnmmings Story wasone of the charter members of theWashington Headquarters Associationand was at that time the Regent ofthe Manhattan Chapter, D. A. §,., ofNew York City. With one of the of-ficers of her chapter (Mrs. Macdon-ald) she planned to reach the ownerof the enclosel lot where the treesstood in a stately semi-circle, thirteenin all.. The agent of the property was

found, but declined to give the own-er's name or address until, after asecond call, when the purpose of theinquiry was revealed, he said that thetrees would have to go if the prop-erty was sold and the wood wouldprobably be carted Off by anyone whomight want it for fuel. This owner'sname proved to be that of an old Al-bany family and was familiar to bothMrs. Story and Mrs. Macdonald whoserespective grandparents were closelyassociated with the early days of so-cial life of Albany.

A letter was sent to the ownerstating the desire of the ManhattanChapter to purchase the right to re-move these trees and to eventuallyconvert the historic wood into furni-

: ture for Washington's headquarters at160th street.

Mrs. Story's identity was establish-ed at once by the gentleman who re-ceived her request, and he replied fa-vorably to the letter assuring her ofhis entire approval of her plan, andgiving to her, as a personal and un-restricted gift, the right to do as shepleased with the thirteen trees. Hewas pleased to have the opportunityto grant so reasonable request andadded a legal paper for her to showto anyone who might be disposed toquestion such a transfer.

When Mrs. Story was elected StateRegent of New York she had some ofthe wood converted into gavels, andpresented one to each of the Regentsof New York State chapters. AfterMrs. Macdonald moved to WinterPark she sent, at Mrs. Story's request,to the Regents of the Florida chaptersthen organized a gavel for use attheir meetings. Rollins College is in-deed fortunate in being the possessor,through the thoughtfulness and cour-tesy of Mrs. Macdonald, of a relic ofsuch historic value and interest.

MATOR OF WINTER PARKMAKES SUGGESTIONSThe following: article by'Dr. Thomas

R. Baker, mayor of Winter Park,should be of vital interest to everytown in Florida, as it deals with aproblem of common concern:Editor The Winter Park Post:

During my recent visit- to St. Louis,I saw from cars of one of the trolleylines, and in crossing from one streetto another by the narrow foot-lanes inmany back yards, and a few front ones,rubbish incinerators of very simpleconstruction and quite inexpensive,that people of Winter Park mightprofitably copy.

Most of these incinerators are eon-struced of brick, have a horizontalcross-section of 6x6 feet, a height of5 feet and walls the length of a brickor the width of a briek in thickness.There is a square opening about 10x10inehes iron bound, in one side of thebottom for draft and the removal ofashes.

Some of the structures were smallerthan the size that I have given andsome were larger, especially thosebuilt on the line of adjoining grounds,to be used by the families of bothpremises. Some of them were made ofconcrete and some of galvanized ircnor ordinary sheet iron.

House-trash, yard-rakings and trim-mings and various other refuse areburned in these places, and the lefusetin cans are put into them to carbonizeany adhering organic matter and toloosen their joints to prevent themfrom becoming mosquito-breeders, ifnot eventually buried.

These ineenerators, while they can-not be made very ornamental, are brno means ugly, and besides serving avery useful purpose, contributinggreatly to the tidiness and especiallysynitary cleanliness of the premises.

The commercial and Industrial rec-ord of Prance, following past wars, in-dicates that she should recover quicklyfrom the actual physical destruction

of factories to replace those destroyed,and the replacement of the mechanismof industrial activity that will be re-

opments is', the announcement thatone of the largest banking mstitntionsin. America concerned with foreigntrade, the Guaranty Trust companyof New York, has opened a Parisbranch to handle the rapidly increas-ing volume of French business.,

This action may surprise many per-sons who had thought of France asbowed under a calamitous invasion.The bank, however, gives figures indi-cating that France is not only meetingher military and civilian problems wittia stout heart and never failing cour-age, but is re-esta1£ishing her exportbusiness with this country.

In 1914, the year of the outbreak ofthe war, imports from France to thiscountry totaled §141,446,252. This to-tal was reduced to $17,158,740 in 1915,bnt last year the value of French im-ports to the United States rose to

the beginning of its life as a nation.In judging the industrial status of

any nation, its production and con-sumption of coal, iron, and steel andthe growth of its transportation sys-tems are highly significant factors.

In 1S69, French industries consumed21 million tons of coal, of which 13.5millions were taken from home mines.In 1912, the consumption was 61 mil-lions, of which 41 million tons weretaken from home mines.

In 1869, the French output of castiron was 1,380,000 tons, and of stee1-,1,060,000 tons. In 1914, France pro-duced 5,311,000 tons of cast iron and4,635,000 tons, of steel.

The increasing activity of her rail-way system is similarly demonstrat-able. In 1809, there were in Prance10,743 miles of railway tr~cfc; in 1912,there were 31.w; miios.

PREPARING CAMPAIGNHon. Braston Beaeham, of Orlando,

Food Administrator for Florida, Lasappointed J. Harvey Whitney, of Jack-sonville, to be his secretary and assist-ant in tbe Pood Conservation worknow under way in-this state. Mr.Whitney, who is a uew^pHper man ofmany years experience in this andother states, has already commencedhis work, being with Mr. LeRoy Hodg-es, the special representative of theUnited States Food Administration,who is organizing the Florida cam-paign from the Jacksonville office.

In appointing Mr. Whitney, Mr.Beaeham declared that the work inhand was not merely for the week ofOctober 21st, during which the pledgecards are to be signed, but that it willextend indefinitely, and will be neces-sary whether the war ends or con-tinues. The chief dnties of Mr. Whit-ney will be to keep the organization atwork, and in this he will act in the ad-visory capacity to Mr. Beaeham, andwill be in close touch with every de-velopment of the campaign from startto finish.

The Jacksonville office will continuein operation'until after tbe food con-servation campaign is over, when it isthe intention of Mr. Beaeham to moveheadquarters to Orlando. From here,which is central and easily in reach ofevery section of the state, Mr. Beaeh-am will continue the activity whichmeans so mueh to the success of theUnited States army, and the alliedarmies across the sea. Since the cam-paign in food conservation is purelyeducational, there will be a continualstream of information going out at alltimes to the people of FJorida thatthey may learn to use the most nutri-tious foods, while economizing onwheat, meat and sugar, that the short-age in the world's supply of these ar-ticles can be made up, thus allowingthe allied armies their necessary]amounts*

In short it. will not be a campaign ofprivation, but one of utilization, sjneeTiheie^are so wsn-y tilings wnjfeh.

"In The Name of Winter Park'"

JVb Brotherhood With ButchersA world blood-red with the gore of uncounted millions of

men, a world stained with the most heinous crimes in all the an-nals of human history, seethes with hatred man for man, andnation for nation. Nothing apparently can stay the awful holo-caust which is withering the very flower of the World's manhoodand womanhood—nothing can halt the tidal wave of slaughterwhich, first drenching the fields of Serbia, North France and theBaltic with the blood of innocent women and children has spreadin ever widening circles until it includes every continent on theglobe. What is to be the end no man knows, possibly this is butthe beginning—which God forbid. But, whether near or distant,Peace, when it comes will be brought about by the active partici-pation of America and this Nation bids fair to be the World'sforemost advocate of justice and equality for all mankind whenat the Council Table of the Nations the remaking of the World'smap is undertaken by the victorious Allies. On the battlefield,in the camp., on farm or in factory it is the duty of every trueAmerican (and all other varieties should be incarcerated) to bendevery effort toward the goal of Victory—a victory which shallcome as quickly as it is possible to forever crush the dominanceof the blood-stained autocracy of Germany and her dirty Hun andTurk allies. We want victory but not a partial victory. We wantpeace, but not a peace soon to be broken at the behest of an ego-tistical tyrant willing to-make the blood-stained corpses of mil-lions his stepping stones to world dominance. We want a loving"brotherhood with all mankind worthy of the bonds of fraternity—but -we want NO BROTHERHOOD WITH BUTCHERS.

Miss Harris, State agent for women, is doing a ma eh better work,•even than a card system of promises, though that is very good in itself.She reported to the State meeting at Gainesville, last week that herconstituency mada np one and a half: million cans of green goods, andoutside interests in the same amount, making three million cans of

vegetables and irnit for the year. ~~ ^ ""^Owing to scarcity of cans, she is teaching a method of drying these

products that will farther benefit the State.1 'Vll ^ ~-~Says Miss Harris: "The women agents are not teaching.the

methods of using 'left-overs'.' They are telling the people to cut downthe quantities so there will be no left-overs^' ; • „••

Certainly, there is a lot of sense and profit'1 iu that talk, jforjthebiggest sin committed by the averrge house-wife and to a much greaterextent by servants, to whom many women entrust ftheir cooking, aswell as buying, just as they crust their precious children to nurses, iswasted at the very fountainbead.

"Still, "left-overs" are sometimes unavoidable in the best offamilies, and, like "a little nonsense,'" are "relished *by] the] best ofmen."

Lady talking ;o us the other day said: "Just to showlyou whatcan be done, we had a par-boiled roast the other day, saved the brothand some of the potatoes and a tittle rice, etc., and today we had hashfor breakfast and tomorrow we wilL put a little cabbage and a.little to-mato into the broth and potato left over and have a mighty fine andn'urishing soup for dinner."

FRENCH INDUSTRY jIS RECOVERING

(Coatinued from Page 1)Between 1869 and vSvz, Inland navi-

gation increased 150 per cent; whilethe traffic of her mercantile marinehas amazingly expanded. The tonnageentering French ports in 1869 is setdown as 11,000,000 tons. In 1915this had been increased to 53,000,000tons.

Leaders in American finance ascribethis solidarity of the French republicto three Influences; first, a thoroughlysound banking system, centralized inone of the greatest banking institutionsof the world, the Bank of France; sec-ond, the ingrained thrift and frugaEtyof the French people as a whole, to-gether with a national economic vigornot elsewhere surpassed; third, wisesupervision, and patriotic co-operationby the government with banking andbusiness interests.

The government does its part to war-rant and retain the confidence of theholders of its securities. One of itswise policies is to impose new taxesdefray the interest charges on new se-curity issues. It began this practiceafter the Franco-Prussian war, and istoday following the same rule in regardto securities issued to finance the pres-ent conflict. This continuity of pur-pose, doubtless, will prove reassuringto all holders of French governmentsecurities.

The Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871 taught the French people themeaning of thrift and economy. Sowell did they learn this lesson, thatthe whole sum of the indemnity de-manded by Germany, §1,000,000,000,was raised within the republic's con-fines by its own inhabitants and paidoff more than one year before the timestipulated by the Germans.

The habit thus acquired has neverbeen forgotten by the French, and to-day the aggregate number of investorspurchasing the French war loans hasreached the amazing total of 4,500,000individual subscribers. Perhaps no oth-er country, in proportion to its popula-tion, can make so good a showing.

France is particularly fortunate inthat her small investors prefer "safe"investments rather than offeringswhich promise high returns. Govern-ment rentes, in France are perpetu-al, and this characteristic seems to ob-tain for these government bonds in-creasing favor in the eyes of the1French people.

The points of sympathy betweenFrance and America are too many to!enumerate, but the spirit of liberty andits resultant democracy are, today asalways, the major ideals of both na-tions. ' Seeking no victories but thoseof peace, no territory except their own,no sovereignty escept sovereignty overthemselves — the independence andequal rights of the weakest member ofthe family of nations are to the peopleof the United States and of France en-titled to as much respect as tho£e otthe mightiest empire. In defense ofthese principles, Frdhce is engageo"a death struggle with militant autoc-racy and ruthless aggression, and it isnot surprising to learn that she hasloaned to her allies and to other .friendlystates 7,000,000,000 francs with whichto further the cause of democracy. Itis in keeping with America's traditionsthat since the date on which we for-mally aligned ourselves with Franceand her allies in the great struggle,our government has lent to France§370,000,000.

It is eminently fitting that Americashould now be fighting on French soilto make the world safe for democracy.The liberty that America has enjoyedfor 140 years France helped her toachieve. The swords of Lafayette andRochambeau, aided by the guns of DeGrasse upon the high seas, assisted incutting the foreign ties that bound theAmerican colonies prior to the War forIndependence, and from the privatepurse of King Louis himself came thefirst loan to America—unsecured andunconditional—to finance that historicundertaking. It was with entire jus-tice that "Washington wrote to Eocham-beau, "To the generous aid of your na-tion and to the bravery of its sons isto be ascribed in a very great degreethat independence for which we havefought."

UnionIn a short time this bank expects to assume its share of the

responsibility of taking care of the banking-interests of WinterPark and of the Winter Park section.

Necessary supplies and fixtures for our bank are being rapid-ly secured and put in place, and we hope to have everything inreadiness within the next few weeks.

We believe that a bank is more than a structure of brick andsteel and concrete;—-that its real security is founded upon otherthings than bolts and bars and vaults;—that its standing andcredit are emphasized by greater considerations than capital andsurplus;—that its resources of strength are far broader thanthose which may be set forth in dollars and cents.

These indeed are essential and important but not conclusive.

We believe that a bank is an institution of organized securityand strength, the guardian of commercial fidelity and honor, thepromoter of prosperity, the servant of business, wisely establish-ed for the convenience and comfort of its community.

We believe that its mission is to SERVE; with courtesy andcourage, with wisdom and discretion, with confidence and ability,not alone the immediate circle of its depositors, but the widercommunity of its surrounding territory and the broad interestsof its State under the protection of whose laws it is established.

FURTHERMORE—

We believe that eternal vigilance is the price of efficiency,that commercial growth is founded upon the" establishment offriendly relationships, and that the successes of TOMORROWare founded upon the sincere and intelligent efforts of TODAY.

Into the making of these, since the work was taken tothe Town Hall (there being no available lists for the CountryClub) have gone 2415 yards of unbleached muslin, 2190 yardsof hospital gauze, 50 yards of crinoline, 76 pounds of absorb-ent cotton, 215 pounds of cotton batting, 32 gross of safetypins, 5 dozen spools of thread, besides bed spreads, oilcloth,knitting cotton, etc. The safety pins alone have cost $24.60.

It sends its finished work direct from Winter Park toParis, done up in packages ready for the sterilizer. Thesepackages are not opened until they reach the surgeons andnurses in the French hospitals.

It has received unqualified praise for its work from theNational Headquarters in New York where its dressingshave been pronounced in quality and workmanship 'abovecriticism.'

The Surgical Dressings Committee of America is an ab-solutely volunteer organization, the expenses of the NewYork headquarters, and of the Distributing Bureaus in Lon-don,. Paris, Bordeaux and Rome being met by donations ofbuildings, light, etc., and the managing staff in each is madeup entirely of volunteer workers.

It has sent over 20,000,000 dressings to the battlefrontsof the Allies.

It is now an auxiliary of the American Red Cross.The Distributing Bureau of the Surgical Dressings Com-

mittee in Paris will receive and distribute to the 6000 hos-pitals of France all supplies, including those for our ownarmy, sent to France by the Red Cross.

The local committee feels that it has the confidence ofthe people of Winter Park. Its record of achievement is notequaled by any town of its size in Florida, and surpassed byfew of the large cities.

Yet Winter Park has not done what it might have done.The contributors have been comparatively few, and only thegenerous and frequent gifts of several friends have made thesplendid record of the committee possible. The executiveBoard is convinced that a statement of the needs and an ap-peal for help, will meet with a hearty, generous and sympa-thetic response from the people in whose name these gifts goforward-

It is the wish of the committee to organize the commun-ity, that every man, woman and child will have the oppor-tunity to express his loyalty to and his admiration for thebrave fellows lying mutilated in those Halls of Pain back of

' the fighting lines. There is no possibility of doing too much.The Distributing Bureaus are always /ensofthotaaands of '

—--" dressHMrs-shorf-of"the demand. The ghsristV tales of Unheces- •sary suffering) and frequent death because of this lack ofhospital supples, is heartbreaking.

During the coining season, the work in Winter Park willbe carried on at three centers, the Town Hall, the CountryClub and Rollins College: and these will be under a singlejoint management, thus co-ordinating all the work done, inthe interest of efnciencjT and economy. The faculty andyoung women of the college have already been organizedand are enthusiastically at work; and it is expected that withthe opening of the Seminole Hotel and the Virginia Inn, thework inaugurated by the guests last winter at both thesehotels and at the Country Club, will be resumed.

Plans are also making to have the activities of the JuniorRed Cross include all the pupils o'f the public schools.

In order to provide the necessary amount of muslin,gauze, cotton, and other materials at the present high prices

f —and with the prospect of still higher rates—not less thantwo hundred dollars a month is needed at present. Later,with the return of the winter residents and hotel guests,probably twice that amount can be used in keeping the work-ers busy. Various methods of raising money are in contem-plation; but in order to give the work a steady and securebasis, it is very desirable that pledges covering at least twohundred dollars a month be obtained at once.

Every resident of Winter Park and every winter visitorto the town, is earnestly requested to fill out the blank formappended below and send it to Mrs. William C. Temple, vice-chairman and treasurer. Let no one fail to do this because

t the sum he is able to contribute seems small. Neither letanyone fail to make his pledge as large as he possibly con. If

; the amount asked for were many times over-subscribed, the» sum could be spent to excellent advantage.! This should be done at once. With only twenty-eight

cents in the treasury- and with no materials on hand after thenext shipment, the committee must know soon upon what it

rtegmning to take shape within thenearer tank.

The outlines grew clearer momen-tarily. He saw what seemed to bethe body of a hairless monkey, sup-porting itself upon webbed feet, orflappers. Budding out from the sideswere two similar arms, the webbedhands pressing against the sides ofthe tank.

The outlines were at first so vagueas to be" almost imperceptible; thenthe crystalline body became opales-cent and milky, resembling the whiteof an egg. It hardened and, as ithardened, swelled. Donald saw thechest heave, the gaplike mouth con-torted.

And suddenly he realized that thisgrotesque, pitiful thing was suffering!

He saw immediately that the pro-fessor's fall had disarranged thetubes that led from the tank. That,and the removal of the glass lid, whichMaeBeard's tumble had knocked tothe floor, had reduced the air pressureto normal. The creature was suffer-ing because there were only 16 poundsof air upon each square inch of itssurface. It suffered just as a humanbeing suffers on a high mountain.

It squirmed and writhed, and thewater was churned up by its flappers.The1 gill openings beneath the earsflapped convulsively. Donald coulddo nothing. He knew that it wasgrowing visible because it was dying,as happens with the crystalline crabsand other invisible denizens of thedeep sea. Soon the force of the in-ternal pressure would disrupt it.

He turned off the gas and staggeredout through the kitchen into the littlegarden. He knew now that Master-maa's story had some germ of truth:

ne Had discovered some species oideep-water-seal, and his mind, strainedby fiis privations, had imagined therest. Why, he himself had almostimagined he had seen a woman in thesecond tank!

He reached the gate, opened it,slammed it, and ran down the road.He did not cease running till he pulledhimself up under a street light. Herealized then that he was hatless;people were staring after him.

And, looking back, he imagined thathe saw £he shadowy outlines of thegirl's body beneath the light of thelamp. J
