ROAD APPORTIONMENT.
.Vhiie ' It Is true that Florida Is becoming noted
for its road improvement, and that many counties
In the state have come to till realization" of their
responsibilities In this direction, there are many
counties which, so far, have 6ignally failed in their
duty to themselves and their state, in their reluc
tance to assume the obligation that road bonds
would represent.
Recently there has been much comment in the
state . papers in regard to the counties which are
doing their share towards bonding and building good
roads. In all of thi3 comment, one thing stands out
very clearly; there is a very hazy idea as to Just
how much each Individual county has appropriated
and just how state aid has been apportioned.
I The Journal believes that every county In the
state has a right to know fully and completely, Just
how much aid every other county has received, and
Just how the money which has been apportioned
has been secured, and why.
It was publicly stated at the meeting of the state
road executives, in Pensacola, that some counties
in the state were receiving more than a reasonable
share of the state apportionment. One member of
the board declared that some Florida counties were
receiving more than their share of stata funds.
Another member in reply, declared that in certain
parts' of Florida enormous sums had been spent
on good roads, and that these sections deserved all
the aid they had received.
If this Is true, then the state board should make
a public statement of HOW THIS MONEY WAS
SECURED, whether by county bonds, through con
tributions of private citizens, or how. Certainly the
people have a right to know how public monies
are being spent.
But, while it is only fair that the counties which
the total state running expense ,was prior to the
year 1914.
A GENEROUS RIVAL. '
The. following editorial from The Industrial Index
should be' read by every Florldian:
'We must here make the, frank confession that we
do not find it difficult, aj all. to b fair to Florida.
In the first place, it Is a neighbor-state. In the sec
ond place its remarkable progress is a source of
pride to the rest of the South, for we recall dis
tinctly that In the last census decade for which re
port has been made it increased more rapidly in pop
ulation than did any other Southern state. In the
third place, we of the South have come to appre
ciate Florida more and also to appropriate its charms
and delights to a greater extent.
The folk of the ice-bound North found out many
years ago what a source of health and delight Flor
ida Is, and the confession, had just as well be made
right here that they beat us to it. This Is partly
because of the fact that the entire Southeast en
joys that blessing and asset, a mild winter, and -to
us it does not come as a novelty not to freeze to
death in the winter-time. Even when, this is al
lowed for, it must be admitted after all that there
is only one Florida, and more and more we of the
South taste and its delights.
Florida, however, is not simply a happy-heaven

REVELATIONS of a WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON.
WHAT SHALL SHE DO?
The theatre was almost fiWed by
this time. A large man with a full,
florid face, coming down our aisle,
halted just in front of our seats to
greet an acquainance. Dickey nudged
me, and I looked at the man closely,
especially noticing his lavish display
of jewelry.
"You've seen one of the first night
sights," whispered Dicky, as the man
passed on. "That's Diamond Jim
Brady. His specialties are diamonds
and first nights, and nobody knows
which he likes the better.
Dicky appeared to know a number
of people in the audience. A half
dozen . men and two or three women
bowed to him. He told me about each
one. Two were dramatic critics, others
artist and actor friends. Bach one's
name was familiar to me through the
newspapers.
"You'll know them all later, Madge,"
he said, and I felt a glow of pleasure
in the . anticipation . of meeting such
interesting'people. x
Dicky returned to his sketching, and
I sat idly watching the people between
me and the stage. A few seats in front
of us to the left I caught sight of the
woman who had claimed Dicky's ac
quaintance In the lobby. She was sig
nalling greetings- to a number of
acquaintances in a flamboyant fashion.
She would bow elaborately, then lift
her hands above her head and shake
them together as if shaking hands
with the person she greeted.
She saw me' almost as soon as I
discovered her; and raised herself in
her seat and craned, her neck, to see
what Dicky was doing. He raised his
head at that moment and saw her, and
she went through the elaborate pan
tomime for his benefit, raising up her
program and looking through it as if
through a field glass, pretending to
sketch on her own program, and fin
ally shaking her head at Dicky in
mimic disapproval. ,
"Confound that woman, she'll spoil
the whole game," growled Dicky. As
he spoke he laid his finger on his lips
and shook his head. With a last merry
glance she turned her attention to an
other acquaintance, while Dicky gava
a sigh of relief.
"Who is she, Dicky? I tried to make
my voice careless. I did not catch
her name when you Introduced usT
You11 probably see enough of her
9 you won't forget it," returned
Dicky, grinning. "She's one of the
busiest little members of the "Welcome
to our city committee in the set I
tsain most with. 8he won't rest till
you've met all of the boys and girls
and been properly lionized. She's one '
of the best little scouts going, and
if she'd cut out the war paint and
modulate that Comanche yell she call
r.sr "voice, there would be few women
equal to her for brains or looks."
''But you haven't told me yet what
her name is," Ipersisted.
"Well, in private life, she's Mrs.
Harry Underwood that's Harry with
her but she's better known all over
the conntry as the cleverest producer
of illustrated Jingles for advertising
we have. Remember that Simple Simon
parody for the mince meat advertise
ment we laughed over some time ago,
and I told you I knew the woman who
did It? There she is before you." and
Dicky waved his hand grandiloquently.
"Lillian Gale!" I almost gasped the
name.
The same," rejoined Dicky, and
returned again to his sketching, while
I -sat in amazed horror, with all my
old-time theories crumbling around
me.
For I had read of Lillian Gale and
her married troubles. I knew that
Harry Underwood was her second
husband and that she had been
divorced from her first spouse after
a scandal which had been aired quite
fully in the newspapers. She bad not
been proven guilty, but her skirts er
talnly had been smirched by rumor.
According to the Ideas which had
been mine, Dicky should have shrunk
from having me even meet such a,
woman, let alone planning to have me
on terms of Intimacy with her.
