zing them. Clearwater Sun.

mother. This case gets the follow
ing comment and censure from the

"With this wealth the court holds the
mother will support and educate her
child. The father of the child is re
lieved of all obligation toward his
own flesh and blood. For $300 he
may go his way. The youne mother
is to do all the worrying alone. Some

partnership with crime."

ple of the Gem City these nights what
an addition to the business section a
white way would be. as Lemon street
after dark is now a blaze of light
from First to Fourth streets. This
very acceptable condition of affairs
was brought about by the fact that
the illuminations put up for the K. of
f. urand Lodge meeting are to re
main in active use until after Palatka
gets through entertaining coming big
State meetings, and the desirability
of the illumination may lead to defi
nite plans for a permanent white way.

The opinion is expressed that the
war in Europe has had something to
do with the unseasonable weather
for several months, all over the
world. It is well known that after
a big battle the vibration caused by
explosion most generally brings a
change, usually rain. For months
now the explosives in Europe have
been constant and terrific. If a wire
less instrument can send a sound
wave aroud the world, why shouldn't
tne Dig noises or the big euns produce
unusual conditions in the atmosphere?
Monday Night Club.
Mrs. Samuel G. Cobum was hostess
for the Monday night Club this
week, entertaining three tables.
Prizes were won by Mrs. Charles

Dr. D. C. Main Lectures.
The members of the Woman's Club
had the opportunity of hearing Dr.
D. C. Main of Welaka give his lec
ture last Friday afternoon at St.
Mark's, on the needs of the state in
the way of providing institutions for
the feeble-minded and indigent. He
drove home the facts of the State's
responsibility for these dependent
ones, and at the coming session of the
Legislature the request will come up
for an appropriation to build homes
for them. In this work the women
of the various Clubs are asked to
lend their aid by educating all whom
they come in contact with, in the va
rious ways that are open to women,
in council and in advisory commit
tees. Miss Susie Lee Walton then
followed with a paper on " Club La
bor Laws," touching the needs of
the state. Mrs. Gardner, and Mrs.
M. S. Brown then read very inter
esting papers on comnulsory educa
tion. Hon. W. G. Tilghman was
present nnd of course was called up
on for remarks. Needless to say
the remarks were forthcoming and,
as usual, serious and comic. He
told of the work he hoped to see
brought to a climax in the coming
legislature. Among the many things
he foretold, using a prophet's vision,
was the slow but sure on-coming of
the ballot for women. Common
sense was his own private reason for
wishing that time to come, and his
loeic was good; the women of the
Club feel that with a man like Hon.
W. G. Tilghman representing them
that the future looks bright for
something worthv accomplished, not
only along the line of suffrage, but
regarding all needful legislation.
The subject for this afternoon's
meeting of the Woman's Club will be
"Home Economics."

Last Monday afternoon the mem
bers of the music class of the Wo
man's Club, met with Mrs. E. L.
Mann when those fortunate enough
to attend were fully repaid for com
ing, as the hostess had prepared a
very interesting program of Nation
al airs, their origin and subsequent
adoption. Many surprising facts
were brought out in regard to- the
manner of the adoption of many of
tnese airs. ror instante, most of
us know now that the hymn we fond
ly call our own, viz., "America," is
English in origin and the tune is
sung in Great Britain as their Na
tional anthem. Also that "Dixie."
was composed in the North and "John
Browns Body" was composed in the
South. "D xie" bids fair as a dod-
ular-American favorite, to be the Na
tional anthem. Mrs. Mann. Misses
Ida Leib and Adair Anderson verv
graciously read articles explanatory
of the variojs National songs and
sang the "airs" representing the fol
lowing countries: America, Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Aus
