FLORIDA IS PLAYGROU
MILLION WEARY OF WINTER
[Special Editorial Correspondence.]
Florence Villa. Fla., March 10, 1916.
—Florida is the playground this winter
of more than a million nonresidents
who have come to this sunny and
fragrant peninsula for rest and rec
reation.
Hotels are crowded as never before
and Pennsylvania lias a large repre
sentation at every resort. Harrisburg
is frequently noted on the hotel regis
ters and everywhere its reputation as
a wide-awake and modern city has
preceded its representatives. Too bad
that we could not also have our base
ball club at one of the famous Flor
ida training camps. But we must be
patient. Hotels and baseball clubs are
not always for the cities that deserve
them most.
Inflow of Real Money
And the million or more tourists
aforesaid who have passed through

SATURDAY EVENING. RARRJSBURG HfiJSA TELEGRAPH MARCH 18, 1916.
OVEN USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CAKES
| ing to every part of Florida, repre
. I sent an important* item of the pros
•! perity of the people. One need not
) figure long to estimate the inflow of
[ real money through the nonresident
; invasion. Xot only along the east
' 1 coast, but in every section of the
boot of Uncle Sam are to found those
> j who have come South for relaxat ion
and recuperation. Most of these will
\ i remain until the end of March and
' many until the middle of April for
! j they will tell you here that Florida
J! is most delightful in the Springtime.
, ' With the gradual improvement and
j permament construction of highways,
automobile travel is increasing and
j! with the completion of the Dixie
\ i Highway it is expected the invasion
; | will be still greater year after year.
; In this county of Holton the taxpayers
are about to authorize a loan of one
million for a system of highways
which will open communication with
jail important towns and a straw vote
' taken by the livewires back of the
proposed bond issue gives assurance
I of its success.
Groat Day Coming;
! Good old Pennsylvania has been a
long time getting awake on the good
j roads question, but the thousands of
I New Englanders who are hibernating
1 under the balmy skies of this grape
! fruit and orange haven of rest realize
I that the opening ol' the mountains and
valleys of Pennsylvania to the tour
ists will mean the diversion of millions
of dollars that have annually gone
j into the coffers of these same New
j Englanders. Governor Brumbaugh is
lat his best when he is preaching the
| gospel of Pennsylvania with a big P.
! Every citizen of the State should be
shouting 'Amen!" at frequent inter
vals.
As for Harrisburg, it must do its
part in tirst providing a hotel ot' the
right sort. Many tourists have already
put me to confusion by asking regard
ing the hotel facilities of my own cit>
and I'm growing weary side-stepping.
But, fellow citizens, we must have
that hotel of our dreams. Harrisburg
cannot hope to maintain its place In
the sun without the big invitation to
the traveler and pleasure-seeker which
has its best expression in a hotel that
will visualize the spirit of the com
munity. O, ye men and women, sit
ting in the Valley of the Susquehanna
and in its chief city, come forth and
give unto John Harris that which is
his due!
Echo of Celebration
Among the guests at this Villa is a
daughter of Governor Pollock, who
speaks with enthusiasm of the recent
municipal improvements at. Harris
burg, referring with particular gratifi
cation to t.he splendid River Front
treatment. She happoned to be a
guest at the Senate Hotel during the
municipal celebration last September
and was a spectator of the remarkable
parade of school children which was
the most impressive spectacle she ever
had the pleasure of witnessing. That
wonderful procession will not soon
fade from the memory of those who
were privileged to see it. The tramp
of these children's feet is heard in
this distant corner of the land of the
free.
His days of leisure are being given
by President Herman, of the City
Planning Commission, to a study of
the home problems and his relaxa
tion will certainly inure to the bene
fit of the city he loves. His vision has
full play. E. J. S.
Beautiful Fittings of
Bakery a Feature
The old saying "well begun is half
done" is exemplified by the fine be
ginning made by the Standard Baking
j Company in equipping the store which
has now opened its doors to the pub
lic.
All of the wall fixtures, show cases,
and counters were especially designed
and constructed for this bakery by
the firm of Jaburg Brothers, New-
York, and represent an advanced type
in fixture construction and design.
They are beautiful in appearance,
j and strictly in keeping with all the
other sanitary features of the bake-
Ishop and store for they have been
; planned particularly with this end in
| view.
: Customers of the Standard Baking
Company can know that at all times
l the baked goods received by them di
! rect from these protecting tixtures and
cases will be delivered with the full
j flavor, freshness, and excellence which
they possessed the moment they were
i drawn from the oven. The bread dis
play cases which are to be distributed
among the grocers were also supplied
by Jaburg Brothers, and the three
barrel "New Era" dough-mixer cap
able of mixing a thousand pounds of
! dough at one time was purchased from
| Jaburg Brothers.
ALASKA'S FRINGE OF
SUBMERGED MOUNTAINS
Have you any idea of the extent of
the Alaska coast line? The shores
of the territory are washed by three
grea.t oceans. These are the Arctic
Ocean on the north, Bering Sea on
the west, and the Pacitlc on the south.
The Aleutian Islands, off the Alaska
Peninsula, are separated from each
other and the mainland by a network
of rocky straits, and much of the
southwestern and southeastern Alaska
,is made up of mountainous islands
jthat have rocks of all shapes and
sizes. The islands are really the tops
of mountains half lost in the waters.
They rise in spires and cathedrals,
some of which are thousands of feet
above the water and others hidden be
neath it, lying there concealed and
ready to rip open the hulls of ships
as the iceberg ripped the Titanic.
The extent of the Alaska coast, with
its windings, surpasses that of the
United States proper. It is greater
than that of all our States on the
Pacific from Puget Sound to the
boundary of Mexico, added to that of
our States, on the Atlantic including
the Gulf. All told, it is more than
20,000 miles long, or longer than the
distance around the world at the
Equator, and, in proportion to Its
length, it has perhaps more dangers
than any other coast line on earth.
Nevertheless, not one-half of it has
yet been sounded by the coast survey
vessels, and more than half of the
general coast line is not marked by
lights or by any aids to navigation.

RAPS FALLACIES
OF THE PACIFISTS
N. J. Progressive Deelares For
Adoption of Swiss
System
Special to the Telegraph
Providence. R. 1., Mar. IS.—Everett
Colby, the New Jersey Progressive
leader, speaking before the students
of Brown University recently on the
"Issues of the Coming Presidential
Campaign," attacked "the fallacies of
the pacifists," and declared for the
ultimate adoption of a system of com
pulsory military service like that of
Switzerland.
As a second issue he urged that
the United States should repudiate its
traditional policy of remaining aloof
from the affairs of European states
and enter upon a vigorous foreign pol
icy to enforce obedience to interna
tional law whenever and wherever
violated. As a signatory to the Hague

I Convention of 1899, the duty of our
j government when the neutrality of
I Belgium was violated was clear.
"When the German minister at
j Brussels notified the Belgian foreign
' office on the second day of August,
1914, that his government would feel
| keen regret if Belgium should regard
i as an act of hostility against herself
! the fact that the measures of the
! enemies of Germany obliged her on
| her part, to violate Belgian territory,
' the Government of the United States
should have notified the German Gov
ernment that upon the violation of
Belgian neutrality it would imme
i diately sever diplomatic relations,
j deny postal facilities to her mail and
j that the economic and armed forces
I of the United States would be moved
\ against her with determination and
> vigor in defense of the empire of the
1 law. And it is my honest opinion that
| if that course had been pursued Eng
-1 land and the neutral governments
would have followed our example, the
war would have been averted and the
Declaration of Paris and the Hague
Conventions made effective instru
| ments for the preservation of peace
I for all time to come.
I "What the government actually did
j was not only to remain silent when
j Belgium was outraged, but after the
Lmsitania was destroyed, carry on a
j diplomatic correspondence with Ger-
I many couched in the phraseology of
courtesy, respect and friendship to
which only governments that live in
honor are entitled. What judgment
the American people will render upon
this phase of the Wilson administra
tion I do not attempt to prophesy."
FISH THAT TRAVEIJ OX LAND
That certain species of fish are able
actually to flop over the land is the
remarkable discovery of a Johns Hop
kins professor, according to the Popu
lar Science Monthly. In the course of
his investigations the professor noticed
that such tish as minnows are often
found in the little temporary pools
that are left in the sand by the re
treating tide. If the minnows are so
unwary as to be caught when the en
trance is blocked, they actually leave
the water and flop over the sand to
the sea. The professor lias often seen
scores and scores of these tish leave
large pools and travel over sand bars
more than twelve feet wide and a half
a foot high. A remarkable feature
about this discovery is that the fish
never take the wrong direction for
any great distance. When tish travel
on land, the professor asserts, they
spring snakes or kangaroos by sudden
bends of the body. Although in its
fall the fish may lind its head turned
the wrong way, it nevertheless makes
its next leap in the proper direction.
These researches raise the question:
Is there some mental machinery at
work in the tissues of fish, which majf
be instinct, which may be sense, and
which may be something allied to
memory ?
Weast Had Store For Years
Where Bakery Now Stands
In a building as large and attrac
tive as the one of the Standard Bak
ing Company, glass enters largely in
to the construction, flooding every
nook with light. This flood of light
reflecting on the white paint through
out the interior of the building makes
every room as bright as though rays
of sunshine were everywher inevl
dence.
The installation of the glass was
made by G. B. Weast, of 1018 Market
street who for thirty years has been,
in business in the neighborhood of
the new bakery. For sixteen years
Mr. Weast was the ihc tinning and
spouting business. This was where
the Reading depot now stands. For
seven years he was located where tho
new bakery now stands, moving away
from there to his present location
about seven years ago. At this loca
tion he carries a complete line of hard
ware, paints, glass, tools and l>uild
crs' hardware.
