(I ' t THE POLK COUNTY NEW! Children Need Sunlight for Their Development Recent experiments on chicks demonstrated the Importance of sunlight in iiuman health, particularly as a factor hfthe physical development of young children. The chicks-were divided Into three groups. All were given the same diet, but one group was'kept in natural sunlight, the second In natural sunlight passing through window glass, while the third was kept In natural sunlight and exposed at intervals to strong ultra-violet rays. tThe first group of chicks developed normally. All of the second group? those that received the sunlight through window glass?-developed rickets. Those of the third group reached In ten weeks the same stage of physical development that those raised in natural sunlight attained in twelve weeks. The rickety chicks were cured when subjected to ultra-violet ray treatment Between 97 and 100 per cent of the children born In the summer and autumn develop rickets In some degree by the following spring. Through the winter the mothers fear to subject them to the bitter cold; hence the babies receive their "sunshine" behind closed windows i RE i D .

By Samuel Ellis The Atlantic Coas;al Highway, Maine to Miami, Florida, is now vir1 tually completed?a grnat ribbon of highway which threads the Atlantic starboard as does the Pacific Coastal Highway Seattle to Ssn Diego and Tia Juana. This early completion of the Atlantic Highway is due, in a great measure, to the unusual development in Florida during the list two years, that commonwealth liviag up to her reputation of progres siveness by spending mftre than $10,000,000 on this highway during 1925. Practically all of the Florida portion of this new coastal highway is iiow ready for the army of sun-hunters which will wend its way palmward during the next three months. Eventually the * Coasial Highway will not end at Miami, l^la., but will bend around in a gracefi 1 curve over the Connors Highway snd Tamiami trail through the Everglades, and to the west coast. Thence it will join the Gulf Coastal Highway and proceed up the west coast to Pensacola, the metropolis of western Florida and terminus of the Frisco lines southern branch. This highway will join with the Old Spanish Trail at Pensacola. Another extension of the Coastal 1 Highway will be the highway over the keys from Miami to Key West. Another year will see wo:'k started. While the upper end of the Atlan- j tic_ Coastal Highway pasces through the'territory which mad; the first history of the United States, touching at Salem, staid old Boston, New York, Washington, Fredericksbu -g and the cities made prominent in the War between the states, it has nothing to offer of more historic value than Florida. Duval county, of which Jacksonville is the scat and the gateway to the South, has just spent $2,00(,000 on its roads, is spending another appropriation of $1,500,000, and is considering bonding itself for $50,000, )00 more. The Atlantic Coastal Highway will have an optional route through Duval county with the completion of the proposed ocean'side highway from i Jacksonville beach to the St. Johns county line. The highway allows travel on the ocean beach for thirty ; miles. It affords Southbound tourists their first opportunity to crive upon a beach which at low tide is more i Western Nor f -i * LL | Real Estate is Fayi I to the Wise I See Try< ! Th< j C.

Jacksonville is the lirst point at which access is given to the only beach of its kind in the world. Then the Coastal Highway enters into the land of Ponce de Leon and, approaching St. Auguistine, passes what: is advertised as the "fountain of Ylouth." It is about at this point where the Spanish explorer landed on the peninsula. A little further on the Coastal Highway passes the his- f toric gates of St. Augustine, swings to the left, and the tourjpt finds himself gazing upon Ft. Marion, the oldest fcrt in America. This stronghold was completed by the Spanish in about 1750. A distinction of Ft. Marion ib that it never was 'taken by an enemy. In St. Augustine also is found the oldest house in the United States.

Dade county, at the jextremity of the Atlantic Coastal' Highway is one'of the chief contributors to good roads in Florida, having spent $1,240,000 during the last year. Although the Atlantic Coastal Highway will be the main thoroughfare of the east coast of Florida, there are many lateral roads which provide for side trips from the main highway. One sjit these junction points is Jacksonville, where the Old Spanish Trail may be taken to the (western part of the state. This Trail extends all the way to Pensacola in jFlorida and on to New Orleans. I . ~ ? -t- .v. A J, A ,? -V. .? ?. .t. a .t A XT AF 4 * U'TTT V T ? r"" VT VTTT f ? W. F.

In one corner of Greater New York there will be a new little group oI 800,000 people, in itself "one 08' the great cities of America." Wh^t will happen if New Cork ever has a real estate boom? Cancer, steadily increasing for seventy-five years, is still on the Increase. The highest^Cancer death rate in, the United States is found in Massachusetts and doctors do not know why.

Investigation of diet, number of unmarried women, and other social statistics might enlighten the profession. 1 All records are broken in freight traffic. In October railroads carried more than FOKTY-FOUR BILLIONS of tons, about a billion tons more than October; 1924. The growth of California's fruit business is reflected in orders for more than 5,000 new refrigerator cars for tne union raciiic and- boutnern Pacific. Before long, unless a prominent automobile manufacturer fails in his undertaking, flying machines will do a great deal of this refrigerator business, swiftly and much more cheaply, making "cold" cars unnecessary. The fruit will be taken cn board and carried to a height supplying natural refrigeration, the plane going up or down in accordance with thd' thermometer, and arriving at its destination with the fruit the right point for storage. %Young men now making a living with independent passenger ' busses will make a better living -with independent refrigerator flying cars.
