A new era of prosperity for the


Entire state of Florida was pre-
dicted last Saturday by Governor
Fred P. Cone.in a speech at Lake
City.
The governor also pledged con-
tinued economies in state govern-
Iment and declared the people of
Florida are now "eating high on
Sthe hog," because of better eco-
nomic conditions in the state.
.He denied that the state's fn-
nancial structure is weakening,
but to the contrary. Florida is on
the threshold of a-, "mighty
bright future for all parts of this
great commonwealth," he told his
listeners.
"I want to say that the state Is
cnt five or six million dollars in
the red, as some folks would like
to make you believe," said Cone.
"The state is in pretty good shapu,
I think, and I am proud of it.
"I don't believe in spending
money we haven't got, and 1
wouldn't let acts the legislature
passed, to spend more- money, be-
come laws.. I did a great many
rhinz d ing'irr -.te.-last s.-sMlon of
the legislature I'did not like to do.
I don't like to. veto anything the
legislature does, but I had to in
this session. You know as well as
I do that you can't swim if you
haven't any water, and you just
simply can't spend money when
you haven't got any.
"We have got to live on what
we have, and that's all there is to
it. We are not going to raise
taxes, or put any more tax bur-
dens on the backs of the people.
We have all we can stand now."

For Max Kilbourn
If you don't believe that adver-
tising in The Star and the St. Joe
Shopper brings results, just ask
Max Kilbourn, owner of the St.
Joe Ice Company and distributor
for Bohn ice refrigerators.
"Thanks to the forceful adver-
tisements run for me In The Star
and the St. Joe.Shopper, which
gives complete coverage of the
area we serve with ice, our sales
,of Bohn air-conditioned refrigera-
tors and ice has yumpeds notice-
ably during the past two months
over the same period last year,"
said Mr. Kilbourn, -'and I am more
than gratified -with the 'results
obtained from my advertising ex-
penditure."
Thie St. Joe Ice Company is one
of the most modern in this section
of Florida and is capable of car-
ing for the needs of this city for
many years to come. Their ice is
made from pure water and is de-
livered right to the door by ,a
fleet of delivery trucks.
The Bohn line of air-conditioned
refrigerators handled by the com-
pany are the finest made. All
models are well insulated with an
approved insulation and are guar-
anteed to hold foods at proper
temperatures. These refrigerators
give foods the very essential
health protection by providing re-
frigeration with pure crystal ice
only. The original freshness of
vegetables and fruits is preserve
and the moving chilled fresh air
prevents flavors from Interming-
ling and stagnating. The first pur-
chase cost Is low-and all there
is. There is no upkeep expense.

DOG DAYS

It's time to muzzle the"'dog.
To prepare for another long
spell of rain.
To drink lemon sour each morn-
ing.
To put bonnets on the mules
and cows. to protect them from
the sun.
And time to quit work, get lazy
and go fishing.
The reason? "Dog Days" are'
at hand.
Now, actually, "Dog Days" have
nothing to do with dogs, and there
is no reason to climb a tree every
time a panting pooch comes your
way. Chances are he's only hot,
like yourself, and would appreci-
ate a cooling gulp of water.
"Dog Days" do come -n the hot-
test part of the year, however,
hence the showers, .the cooling
lemonade and the bonnets for
Maude and Boss). Also. why this
period is excellent for quitting
work and going nshing.
'The designation of this hot sea-
son as "Dog Days" is not a new
one, and the name comes from an
object said to be 50,000,000,000,000
miles away-the dog s:ar Sirius.
Sirius, or Canicuma (for those
who wish to get tec-nimcal about
this thing) is a star or tnle first
magnitude in the consteliaUon Ca-
nis Major. the heliacal rising of
which occurs in tneirnoLtest parts
of .the year, and which is respon-
sible for the name. "Dog Days"
Heliacal signifies 'to, or near,
the sun, and is* applied to those
risings and settings of a star
which are as nearly coincident
with those of thbe. en as can be
observed. The stars rise and set a
little earlier each successive day.
The first rising of a star each
year in time to be seen before
sunrise is described a- the "nelia-
ca? rising," and the last setting of
such a star which may be observed
after sunset is described as the
"holiacal setting."
From the time of a star's helia-
cal setting to the time of its helia-
cal rising and the last setting to
be seen, is a .period of 30 to 40
days. according to computations
of the ancients.
Various dates from July 3 to Au-
gust 15 have been assigned for
IThe first "Dog Day," and there
are, likewise, various durations
ranging from 30 tu 5-. ,ays.
Much has been written on the
subjectt. Even as far back as 400
n. C., Hippicrates had written
that "Dog Days" were in the hot-
test and most unhealthy part of
the summer.
Perhaps the m s t common

"Naughty But Nice', which will
be seen at the Port theater on
Thursday and Friday, July 27 and
28, is concerned with the adven-
tures of a small-town professor of
music in New York's Tin Pan Al-
ley. The professor is the retiring
sort, grown to manhood under the
watchful eyes of tree spinster
aunts. His visit to New York is
for the purpose of getting his mu-
sical masterpiece punished. The
piece emerges as a swing concoc-
tion, "Hooray for ;plnach." much
to the professor's discomfiture.
Dick Powell plays tne profes-
sor. and Ann Sheridan, the cur-
rent Warner Bros. "oomph" girl,
plays the part of the gfrl respon-
sible for the predicaments to
which the professor finds himself
heir.
Others in the cast are Zasu
Pitts as one of th. spinster aunts;
Helen Broderick as the fourth
aunt who ran away to marry a
musician; Alien Jenkins, a song
writer, and Slapsie Maxie Rosen-
bloom as the completely daffy
cook, housekeeper tand general all
around handy man ror the profes-
sor's "Aunt Martha.'"
For a good time and lots of
laughs, this picture should be put

Crashes Kill

32,400 In 1938

At the end of 1938 there were
29,1t5;680 motor vehicles regis-
tered in the United States. Col-
lectively, they traveled approxi-
mately 250,000,000.000 miles aur-
ing the year.
In the wake of their purring ex-
haust pipes were 32,400 men,
women and children-all killed in
motor vehicle accidents.
These are grim statistical totals
that appear in "Accident Facts,"
the National Safety Council's
yearbook, just published.
Traffic accident deaths were
clicked off at the rate of one
every 16 minutes, 89 per day, or
32.400 deaths for the year.
Non-fatal injuries suffered in
motor vehicle accidents during
1938 occurred at a rate of one
every 27 seconds, 130 every hour,
S,200 every day, or 1,150,000 dur-
ing the year.
The council estimated .that mo-
tor vehicle traffic accidents dur-
ing 1938 cost $750,000,000 in wage
loss. medical expense and the
overhead cost of insurance, plus
another $750,000,000 for property
damage.
