That they were of small -acopo and short duration and caused no loss other than destruction of timber and a few fences was due to prompt action by lire-lighting squads hastily recruited from the ranks of farmers and villagers, all of whom knew by experience the great danger of allowing the fire line to lengthen until it was beyond control.

A (ire with thousands and thousands of acres of dead grass and under brush dried to a tinder by weeks of sunshine to feed on might result in a vast calamity. Controlling such a lire, once it got under way, would be a tit antic task.

One of the difficulties with Drama In The Senate As a body of lawmakers, the revered Senate of our noble land may now and then lay itself open to criticism; as a spectacle it often rises to heights of true greatness. In this respect, indeed, the Senate far outstrips the House of Representatives.

To be sure, when the members of the House take to using their fists and feet on entire physical culture movement has been the creation of out-door fanatics, marathon runners, hundred-mile pedestrians and similar enthusiast's who believe that the road to health lies In the excep tional performance rather than In one another, and enliven the dull monotony the ordinary activities. until thev were burned out.

Consider, for example, the matter of the filibuster, In the House this is a rare proceeding.

The latest honor we have had thrust upon us has been to witness the cstimab'e Tampa Tribune lift our social item relating to a party held at the Governor's Mansion, a week ago last Tuesday, dating it still later and publishing ver- i bat.m, credited to "Tribune News Servioe." 1 This is -4 he first time tbat we knew those words and phrases on a high pinnacle and then plenty of time and effort hunting for the exemplification of those words and phrases. Sometimes we succeed and it is a pleasure.

In part, our definition of a "Flapper" is: A specimen of homo sapiens, female, who is fighting her way through to praiseworthy ideals. (That she may fail, dismally, in her attempt to gain her goal does not alter the case, for actually, there is no goal other than growth and progress itself even an attempt to progress is commendable. Better to try and fail than to become mired, give up the ghost and pass into oblivion). There is no age-limit placed on It. For more than two thousand years students of human life have been urging that the secret of health is moderation in all things.

that the Florida State News was so i engaged. We feel certain that our friend Ed Lambright didn't read copy on that I of Journalistic Juggling. i The article in question was pub- I last Wednesday morning, fol-' lowing the deliiihtlul affair and was quarters, because it was the firm conviction of nearly everyone in and around the devastated areas that the fire started from the embers of a camp Tire left burning by careless, probably indifferent hunters, or was deliberately and maliciously started by disgruntled persons. Which brings the discussion to a point already raised by the Ocala Evening Star, commenting on the wide expanse of burned over and blackened landscape recently seen by motorists traveling, to Brooksville. While in Marion county, not far from Juliette, the motorists came into view of a man whose actions at once riveted their attention.

Says the Star "There may be people in Florida at this time who are despicable enough' to set fire-to forests, caring not. at all how much damage might be inflicted or life lost. Florida motorists and others should keep a sharp look-out for such malicious culprits, and if one is caught in the act a proper and complete example should be made of him, one thoroughly fitting his crime. In this" connection the real danger at this time comes into consideration. There is a Florida law imposing a fine of $100 or imprisonment from 30 to 00 days for anyone convicted of setting fire to forests or to grass on open 69th Congress abundantly testified.

That may or may not be very bad business from a legislative standpoint. The Question has been argued very heatedly. A change of occupations or of scene is frequently of value In pro-! moting longevity, but dissipation is not "The Flapper." She may be six- teen or sixty. Physical age has nothing to do with the subject. There are wise women of sixteen years-and foolish, silly, cluttering women of ninety years.

We often wonder whether it is possible to love ONE "Flapper" for that is much like going into a garden of roses and having to Daily and Sunday (except Monday) and will be argued heatedly in the future.

Oil and Gas Fund A bill requiring counties to use their oil and gas refund only for road building and maintenance purposes probably will be to the 1927 session of the legislature. Such a measure has merit, as it will enable counties, principally the smaller ones, to build a complete system of lateral roads to connect with the trunk highways.

Lateral roads are essential to the development of back country, and we see no reason why the legislature should not write in the law a provision that this money must be kept Intact for road construction. The present statute leaves the matter up to the county as to how this fund should be spent, and there are a number of instances pn record where this money is used for general governmental purposes.
