ALL OFF WITH
UGLY SIGNS ON
FLORIDA ROADS
f Ry Associated Press)
TALLAHASSEE, Florida, Jan. 27.—
A movement to eliminate unsightly
signs from along the public highways
in Florida, started in Lake county,
two years ago, has spread so rapidly
that 21 of the 63 counties in the state
have established regulations prohibit
ing any signs on public highways ex
cept those placed there by authority
of the county or state as definite
guides.
The Florida Development Board,
which is the state chamber of Com
merce, began IS months ago a move
ment to coordinate throughout the
state and help to crystallize sentiment
favoring conservation of scenery. Fol
lowing elimination of the unsightly
signs, county commissioners have or
ganized in 17 counties to beautify the
roads.
Now a movement is spreading to j
replace the road signs with shrubs and ;
flowers in certain locations; else- !
where it is being urged upon the 1
county and satte authorities that steps
be taken toward the conservation of
natural growth along the public high
ways where a roadway is under con
struction and that rightofways 100
feet wide be set aside on the princi
pal highways.
Agitation for the conservation of
fine old oak trees in resulting in some
two-way roads in many communities.
In many places the county engineer
has left the old road on one side of
row of magnificent oak trees and made
a new road on the other side rather
than take out the trees to widen the
roadbed.

QUEEN MARIE
GIVES INTERVIEW
TO THE PRESS
(liv Associated Press)
BELGRADE, Jan. 27—Queen Marie
of Jugoslavia, a Rumanian by birth
and a Serbian by marriage, who is ae- !
companying King Alexander on his
tour through southern Serbia, has
aroused a warm controversy between
Bulgaria and Serbia ethnologists by
the costume she has been wearing on
her travels.
She appeared at Skopie in a local j
costume of bright colors on a white !
woolen background. When the. eth
nologists in Sofia heard of this, they
made the charge that she was wear
ing a Bulgarian costume in order to
appeal to the sentiments of a Bulgar
ian population. The Belgrade eth
nologists retorted spiritedly that the
Queen was wearing a Serbian costume.
So much local interest was manifest
ed that finally the question was re
ferred to the Queen herself. To the
inquiring newspaper Reporter she made
answer: “I am wearing the costume
of my people, and the reason is that
I find it becoming.”

year old girl working in a department

was attempting to support herself, a
consumptive father, blind mother and
four younger brothers and sisters. The
other told of the rise in stocks which
had increased the wealth of John D.
Rockefeller fifty million dollars with
in a few days. Isn't civilization won
derful ?
