Park , and the T. M. C. A. has been
assured of the hearty cooperation of
the managers at Bayvlew in this most
worthy undertaking.
The slogan of the campaign will be
"Every boy a swimmer. The aim

paign has been Incited by the many
deaths from drowning in and around
the city within recent years.
The campaign will be open to every
boy in Pensacola between the ages of
19 and 18 years, and parents who have
small boys are urged to see that they
are registered at one of the places
assigned for registration in time to
get in the class and see that they

ciaas, once they are registered.
The Y. M. C. A. is making plans
to take care of a larce class of youths
and they desire it made plain that
there is absolutely no fee attached
to this campaign and that every boy
within reach of the bay should take
advantage of this opportunity to learn
to swim and timid mothers should
feel no fear whatever in having their
-boys get into the class, as every pre
caution will be thrown around them
and men of experience and ability win
be in charge.
A class for boys who are not work
in? will be conducted at 9:30 in tiyo
mornings and a class for working boys
will ba conducted at 6:30 in the eve
nings. These two hours have been se
lected so there may be no excuse for
any boy not getting into one or the
other of the classes, and that every
boy may have the same opportunity
to learn to take care of himself.
Registration cards are now at the
following places and every boy above
the age of ten years is urged to go
and register his name and be at the
morning class on Monday, August 4,

These cards have been arranged so
the boy may sign his name, his adr
dress and the name of his parents.
This information is vdeslred that the
Y. M. C A. may know Just how many
boys are really Interested in their own
welfare, and the welfare of those who
might become dependent upon their
ability to save them in the water.

BUILDING BREAKS :
ALL RECORDS SAYS
INSPECTOR WOLFE
The record has been broken in Pen
sacola in building operations for the
last two years. Twenty permits were
Issued for June by Ctilldmg Inspector
TV'olfe, who states that this is the
I r eaten t number for any 30-day period
ince he went Into office in 1917.
The city of Pensacola will save ap
proximately 35,000 next year if fuel
oil instead of coal is used by the water
department, according to Superinten
dent Sweeney. , Expenditures for coal
this year totalled $15,000 And it has
been estimated that the same amount
would have to be apportioned in the
budget for fuel this year. If oil is
used, it is claimed that 1 on every ton
of coal can be saved and that the de
pleted finances of the department will
be partially restored.
An estimated . of the funds required
for the substitution of oil for coal
will be given to the board of city com
missioners when they meet next Mon

that time. some definite decision will

TAX VALUATION
RAILROAD PROPERTY
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Tallahassee, July 30 The assessed
valuations of the several railroads and
telegraph lines for the state of Flor
ida for the purpose of taxation for
the year have Just been-for
warded fronw.the , comptroller's off ice
to the tax assessors of the various
counties through which the lines are
operated. ...
The railroad and telegraph assess
ment apportioned to the various comi
ties shows a substantial Increase in
every county, with but one or two
exceptions, which is due to the fact
that the assessing board determined
that under the law all terminal val
nations existing on the several lines
should be distributed pro rata to the
main track mileage throughout the
counties traversed by such lines; these
valuations, heretofore, haying been
applied solely within the "connty in
which such terminal valuations were
located.
The total valuations of all rail
road and telegraph property, as as
sessed by the board, of the year 1919,
amounts to 349,788,308. The total val
uation for the year 1918 was $45,472,-

tion of the railroad and telegraph
property for 1919, over 1918, is Jl,-

Escambia county girls will go In for
grape culture as the newest line of
work for their activities. Already it
has been demonstrated that certain
vineyards In the town of Santa Ros.

cola and the outlying districts can
equal this record.
Planting of grapes , will be a part of
the program for the various canning
club girls. Home demonstration agents
will meet in Tallahassee, 'August 11
16, to map out the plan of procedure.
. Miss "Margaret Cobb, local agent,
will be among those attending ' the
conference. She will bring back the
fruits of her experience and teach
young girls of the district 'the art of

CAVALRY MPS
WiK PRAISED
RfCBftfT PUNITIVE EXPEDITION
INTO JUAREZ TO DRIVE OUT
VILLA TROOPS WAS SPECTAC
ULAR EVENT.'
Washington, July SO. Official de
tailed reports pn the recent punitive
expedition into Juarez to drive out
Villa troops, when , the battle there
threatened lives of Americans in EX
Paso, give especial praise to the work
of both the -artillery and the cavalry.
;lt is said that some of the achieve
ments of second battalion of the 82nd
field artillery under command of Lt.
Col. H. I Newbold were as spectacu
lar as any in the great war when the
small nature of the engagement is
taken into consideration.
Th report says Colonel JCewbpld had
Ills men and guns in so closely be
hind the skirmish line that they were
ready to fire before the infantry had
made contact, . and the instant the
command to fire -"was given, the
ehrapuel began sweeping" the fence
corners and "grand stand of the race
track, where ' the Villa troops were,
exactly on the target. t
Colonel Newbold's batteries grot off
sixty-four rounds with such speed and
accuracy that observers report the
action like a performance of the prize
gun teams in .France which made
new records with the French 75'e.
When the infantry advanced, every
point of vantage around the Mexican
position was found riddled with steel
bullets. -
The cavalry comes - in for a full
measure of praise for its rapid move
ment to cut off the main rebel body
while the performance of the engi
neers in throwing across JBie Rio
Grande In less than i an hour, a pon
toon - bridge capable of bearlmr the
heaviest equipment is reported as
having set new records in that line.
The "doughboys" of the infantry, of
course, come in for their usual share
of praise which is in no way dimmed
by the mention of the success of the
engineers, cavalry and artillery.
LOCAL SERVICE
MAN TO GET FOUR
YEARS AT CORNELL
Sergeant H. B. Homan, of the 472nd
Engineers, who was until recently sta
tkmyi at Fort Barrancas, but who has
now received his discharge and is em
ployed as a civilian engineer at Barran
cas, will secure a four year course -at
Cornell university free of cost, if he can
pass the necessary examinations.
Sergeant Homan, who Is adisabled maa
and who therefore can benefit by the
vocational edncatlon offered by the gov
ernment under the rehabilitation act.
some time ago asked one of the gov
ernment's vocational advisers, E. Griggs
who was in Pensacola, about the possi
bility or his studying cartooning. The
vocational adviser asked Sergeant Ho
man for some tangible evidence of his
ability. The front-page cartoon of the
June issue of "The Vocational Sum
mary,' published by the federal board
for vocational education, is the answer.
This cartoon represents a disabled sol-
die.' crossing a wide chasm into the land
of opportunity over a walkway entitled
Vocational Education.
"While Mr. Grigga was here he made
his headquarters with the local War
Camp Community Service, and with the
assitance given Sergeant Homan by Mr.
GrlKgs and the War Camp Community
Service, the ex-service man has been
promised the four-year course at Cor
nelL He will probably go to Meriden,
Conn., his home, to take the examina
tion.
If he passes the examination success
fully, he will "get $75 a month, paid by
the government, in addition to his tree
education. Sergeant Homan will not be
content merely to sturry cartooning at
Cornell, but he will also take a general
course, Including the general sciences.
One other local organization wbicn has
recently been offering valuable assist
ance to disabled soldiers is the Red
Ci oss chapter, which helps the men set
information, fill out their blank papers
property, and assists tnem wun ineir in
surance problems. ,
Sergeant Homan s case is one snowing
how the wounded ex-service man may
come out victorious over physical han
dicaps. . ' '-

AS TO NURSE FOR

" Decision as to the naming of . a
health nurse by the city. , a part of
whose duties would be in connection
with the proposed venereal clinic, is
still undecided.

his mind in the matter. He said he
was not yet ready to give his answer
to the special committee from the Ro
tary Club which is insisting that this
work be done.
Mr. Pou had previously endorsed
the plan. Mayor Sanders is on record
as stating that he doubted the practic
ability of the procedure.
