F lu id a s tragedy is not Florida’s tragedy alone.
Nature alternately smiles and frowns on man. W ith
h e r malignance she can and does undo in a breafii
all that the beneficence of her smile encourages and
màkçs possible., There is no rule of reason or any
other rule cognisable by the human mind th at fiTOJ*

mother, his indespensible friend,, and his fea reta p ,
unsparing, reckless and »discrim inating foe. She
nurtures him upop her brepst one moment and the
next hurls him, in a buret of rage, into the fitey
furuaCç. She leads him tenderly b f the hand lip tfte
slow traiLto the top-most peak of material acm eve-
ment and'm ental and spiritual development, then
brutally précip itât» him and all his works into the
fathomless void belotr. She lures to mock ahd prom

The tragedy of Florida is the tragedy of hu
manity. It is a story fold over and over again in
every M e and dim e. With fire and flood, w ith p estil
ence and /amine, with tempest and earthquake, With
drouth and heat and eold and hail, w ith ware that
spring from geographical, racial and economic im
pulsion beyond his making, fathom ing or control,
m a n is forever denied the fruit of his aspiration and
his striving. He sets up his temples and they are

and upon the ruins of what has been destroyed he
builds more stately mansions. Under the volcano’s
crater he rebuilds bre cities, and in the wake of the

to strength, from ignorance to culightenuient.
New York last Saturday welcomed home a home
town boy.
He wag Gene Tunnay, who Thursday
night won the heavyweight prigefight champiqbship
of thé world by defeating Jack Dem psey at Phila
delphia. It was only a few days earlier that New
York welcomed home a home-town girl. She was
Gertrude Ederie, the first woman to swim the Eng
lish channel.
When it comes to paying honors to its heroes,
New York is no different, no bigger than any other
town.
It is a thrilling thing to achieve a brilliant suc
cess. And by no means the leqst thrilling part of
the winning is the welcome home.
The old home town may look w ith a fishy eye
upon its prophets but it knows how to do things up.
brown for its heroes. When a man achieves dis-
tinction for himself he achieves distinction for the
old home town, and the horn© town appréciâtes the
fact. His distinction becomes its distinction and in
honoring him it honors itself. And how the town
loves it!
When the Roman general returned home after
subduing a barbarian province the home town boys
turned out in force and gave him a “ trium ph.” But
it w asn’t his triumph alone. It was Rom e’s triumph
also.

When Scipio African us won a victory it made
Caiug Antonius Smithus, the dealer in staple and
fancy groceries, feel more important man. And
when Smithus was visiting friends in the country
he could expand his chest and boast ‘’Africanas
