When You Need
Money

!!
If you are the average man or woman, you
have two sources open when you need
money quickly. One is to borrow it—if you
can; the other is to draw it from your ac
count. Even well to do people take no
chances on borrowing; they have their
checking account.

Boys of Rome to Frolic
In Baths and Playgrounds!
(By Associated Press.)
ROME. Apr. 30.—Thousands of
poor Roman children soon will be
reaping the benefits of playgrounds
and shower baths in true American
upto-dateness. These benefits have
been made possible by the Knights
of Columbus who, in response to a
request from Pope Pius XI, are
spending $1,000,000 on a charity proj
ect that Rome might otherwise never
have heard of.
The project started soon after a
delegation of Knights came to Rome
shortly after the war. At that time
the Pope told ■ them their wonderful
work during the war had particularly
qualified them for carrying out a
much-needed charity project for the
benefit of thousands of Roman ureh
ins who have never known the mean
ing of the word bath or organized
exercise.
Five general recreation centers in
various parts of the city are included
in the project, and all will be ready
for organized games this spring and
summer. They are equipped with
modern American gymnasium appara
tus, and all have spacious out-door
playgrounds for football, running
tracks, tennis courts, basketball
fields, handball courts, _and other
games. Most of the centers have at
tractive club houses, with gymnasi
ums for both boys and girls, reading
rooms, chapels, shower baths, in fact,
everything to delight any youngster,
rich or poor.
These centers will be open to any
and every child who wants to make
use of them; no distinctions will be
made.

Florida Draws Spenders
from Shores of France
1
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Apr. 30.—The balmy
winter climate of Florida, long a lure
to Americans from the cold northern
states, has begun to draw wealthy
Britons away from their sunny but
chilly coves along the Riviera.
The winter just ended saw hund
reds of leisured Londoners cross the
Atlantic to get away from the fogs
and rain of their gray and gloomy
capital. Formerly only a few score
Englishmen took the time and trou
ble to discover the sunshine of the
West Indies and Florida. The steam
ship companies have begun to trum
pet the attractions of both, and ex
pect increasing numbers of tourists
to cross the Atlantic next winter in
search of bright skies and soft south
ern breezes.
Those who have tried the trip
bring back tempting tales of their ex
periences. One relishes a winter
swim in the gulf, they say, whereas
along the Riviera winter-time dips in
the Mediterranean are taken only by
the younger and brawnier visitors.
Brocco and Egg At Odds,
Sign Armistice for Race
PARIS, Apr. 30.—During the last
six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden, New York, the veter
ans, Maurice Brocco and Oscar Egg,
collaborated to give a fine exhibition
of team work. It has been learned
that the two, although paired for the
race, have not been on good terms
and have not spoken to each other
for several years. They rode under
the terms of an armistice extending
over a period of the race, during
which the only words exchanged re
lated to the contest.
Silent hostilities were resumed at
the conclusion of the race and, while
they returned to Europe on the same
steamship, neither recognized .the
other during the voyage. When reser
vations were being made Brocco is
said to have told the steamship ag
ent: “Place me anywhere in the boat
as long as I am far enough away
from Egg. This last week of Egg
will do be for a lifetime.”

Old Time Tea Plants
Now Used for Hedges
SUMMERVILLE, S. C., Apr. 30.—
Hundreds of old tea plants, gathered
from over the world during the time
when tea growing in the United
States was a profitable industry,
have grown to the size of small trees
and are now being transplanted here
for landscape purposes.
Before the Chinese tea growers dis
covered that they could produce the
leaf and market it in the United
States at a greater profit than the
American growers, the cultivation of
tea was done at a financial profit in
this section.
Dr. Charles U. Shepard, once owner
of one of the largest tea plantations,
who died in 1915, became interested
in the industry after his arrival here
from Connecticut many years ago. He
collected plants from China and Jap
an and began scientific experimenta
tion with them. Many of the trees
on the Shepard plantation will be
dug up for use in borders, and other
landscape effects.
MEMORIAL DAY ON SATURDAY
Memorial Day will come on Satur

post of the American Legion assisted
by the Auxiliary will have charge of
the ceremonies.
