O. M'INTYRE (Copyright. 1927) NEW YORK. April 15. Manhattan is filled with lonely and respectable ladies who, having grown a trifle passe, come to town in hope of a little youthful rejuvenation.

Many were ex-belies in their home towns, contracting desirable marriages and were widowed. Their incomes are sufficient to live in gilded hotels or maintain elaborate apartments. Yet in New York they find it difficult to mingle in that stratum of society to which they have been accustomed. They are often the prey of those bi-weekly papers of the many thousands of towns which densely dot the map of these 4S states. The smallest newspaper published in this country today would have appeared as imposing to the readers of the first issue of the Boston News Letter as the large metropolitan dailies seem to the subscribers of the most meager of the present day weeklies.

If the editor of that first American newspaper were to return today to the scene of his journalistic labors he would be amazed to find daily newspapers containing veritable libraries of information, collecting news from every quarter of the globe as if by magic and printing it the same day of its occurrence by methods which to him would appear miraculous. Yet in essentials, American journalism has remained the same, actuated by a desire to report facts accurately, interpret them honestly and serve the public interest faithfully. 1 mo. .85 .65 want nothing but the truth.

We Must Avoid This Confession Bankers of Tampa take the position that there should be no public drive for raising funds to prevent the threatened curtailment of the spring term of 4ur elementary schools. They hold that a fund raising campaign, just at this time, would be ill-advised. To that extent, The Tribune joins in their view.

who are really artistically ambitious, are regarded as pests. Nearly every din Making The Motor Pay The idea of some of Florida's ingenious legislators seems to be: Whereas, everybody owns an automobile, and whereas a car can carry one everywhere, be is resolved that the automobile pay everything. This is different from the "single tax" theory of taxing nothing but the idea that all values are based on real estate. One State Senator has Introduced a bill to increase the gasoline tax from four to five cents a gallon, leaving three cents for the State Road Department as now, and distributing two cents to the counties, either to the county road fund or the county school fund as each county may elect. We are not advised as to the Senator's plan of apportionment, whether to all counties equally, or in proportion to population or cars or tax payment.

In any case The Tribune opposes any increase in the gasoline tax. We have already expressed the belief that the present one-cent county share should be turned over to the state school fund. That share is now being used by some counties for any purpose they see fit, sometime to the neglect of both roads and schools. However it is used, the system of apportionment is inequitable. One Representative has a bill to provide for collection of ad valorem taxes on automobiles at the time of applying -for state license plates.

The tax now is rarely collected over 50 percent each year, it is claimed. However, the car owner justly feels that the expense of the license is enough to pay at one time and it is enough trouble standing in line for a tag wirtiout the added delay and inconvenience of getting a tax receipt. Another Senator proposes $5,000 compulsory liability insurance for every automobile driver, meaning still more expense for owners and drivers without corresponding benefit to the public? Probably other legislators In the next few days will scatter other packages of tax under our tires. ing and dancing place now has a long haired caricaturist with a corvine man ner who stands over your table to make a quick pecking impressionistic cari cature.

may do aone, is Imperative that the necessary fund be raised and the schools continued for the usual period. An admission that Tampa's schools must be closed because of the lack of money to pay for their operation would be damaging to the city's good name and one which no Tampan could make without a sense of shame and humiliation. We are not concerned at present with the reason for the shortage of school funds, although the average taxpayer may feel some curiosity as to why the school tax is not sufficient for all purposes. The average taxpayer's receipt from the Tax Collector would appear to the casual observer as convincing testimony that there should be enough money to run the schools for a full term. For instance, one of these which came under our observation shows a total state and county tax payment of $227.13, of which $30.15 is state tax, $128.64 county tax and $68.34 special school tax.

In other words, the Tampa appear to be merely kidding themselves There is one long ago burnt out by the Probably An Opera Singer It was our privilege just now to perceive a lady in an automobile smoking a cigarette.

Let the student of zoology tell of natural selection as applied to animals, and show how all the races of man came from a common ancestor.

The Garden Club The Garden Club movement has been Introduced in Tampa by a number of public spirited women, who have formed Tampa's first club and are developing a citywide interest which will result in organizations in each section or neighborhood.

The Garden Club idea is beautification of streets, parkways, lawns, yards. Surely there is urgent need for greater activity in thi3 line in Tampa. At every turn, the citizen or visitor sees an instance of neglect of appearances that reflects on the city as well as the individual owner or tenant responsible for the neglect. The Garden Club, by enlisting the women of each neighborhood or section as active members, arouses interest in beautification and, once aroused, this interest brings on actual work. The Tribune welcomes Tampa's first Garden Club and hopes to see many of them functioning for a better-looking city.

Despite this liberal proportion, it is found necessary to ask public subscription to maintain the elementary schools for a period of two weeks.

The proposition confronting us Is the raising of this fund, however the need may have arisen or why. An emergency act by the Legislature appears the most convenient and immediate method. We do not believe a public campaign would be successful. After a most determined effort to obtain subscriptions, limited to the parents of the children directly to be benefited, only $7,000 was raised less than half the amount required. We do not believe the average citizen, not the parent or guardian of a pupil of the elementary school, would readily subscribe to this fund in fact, we do not think the general public ought to be asked to do so.

But we must avoid the confession of our inability to finance our schools. The taxpayers have done their part all that was asked of them. It is not their fault that the funds are insufficient; but it is their concern, the concern of every citizen, that the schools be kept open. The Legislature appears to be the best reunions also.

Soon we are away from the noise and smoke of the central streets here is Hillsborough Bay. reflecting the azure sky to a deeper hue, with waves of purple and silver that surge and tumble against the seawall. On the right, the red sun sinking in a colorful cushion of clouds, silhouetting the tall pines and the palms, the beautiful homes amid flowers and green grassy lawns all our own for the seeing. Turn again to the left of the car as we bowl along in the refreshing southerly breeze bringing pure, salty air across the waters.

Here a sea gull swings and dips her wings and speeds away, a fish leaps in spray. A mile farther, the Boulevard curves southward; eastward along the horizon over the blue bay stretch the new islands with their stucco homes and towers bathed in the brilliant evening glow like a city of gold. Here a white-winged sailboat beating out toward the point; there a black steamer trailing its cloud of smoke, coming slowly home from some far port across the sea. We slow down, from time to time, even stopping, and gaze a bit wistfully upon the laughing, tumbling waves and the tinted, high-piled clouds that loftily look down upon the city in passing. The uniformed chauffeur turns the controller handle, the electricity comes on with a jerk.

Sarasota Times. Smoke Tampa Cigars While we are talking and campaigning for home industries and urging Tampans to use products made in Tampa, let us not overlook our most important product cigars. A recent investigation showed that a able proportion of the cigars smoked in Tampa probably one-third are not Tampa-made cigars. The estimate is obtained from- reports of local cigar stores and dealers. If the figure is correct, or near correct, it Is a rather humiliating fact.

It Is admitted that Tampa cigars are the best cigars in the world so there is no question of quality Involved. Excepting the cheap variety of "stogies," Tampa cigars are priced as reasonably as any cigars in the world, quality considered. Then, why do Tampa smokers smoke cigars made outside of Tampa? The cigar industry is Tampa's greatest single Industry. It was upon the cigar industry that Tampa's cityhood was built. The Tampa cigar has been one of the most potent factors in bringing Tampa to the attention of the world.

It is one of our most powerful advertisements. The cigar factories furnish the larger share of our payrolls. hey are responsible for more of our working population than any one industry. Why shouldn't Tampans support that industry, at least to the extent of using Tampa cigars? Give this a serious thought, smokers. When you buy a cigar made in Tampa, you help Tampa.

When you buy a cigar made elsewhere, you take away from a Tampa industry, you take away from Tampa. Isn't that worth considering? You can get a better cigar for your money in the Tampa-made article.
