Dear Quentin: I promised to write and tell yot of some places d!f interest locate*, within a hundred miles of this city that we have visited on this trip. We followed Main St. north out of town r. few miles and then turned East past the Municipal Zoo, and find ourselves cn Hecksher Drive commonly called the Bayshore. Road. This road was built and is still owned by the |*hiladelphia millionaire, August Hecksher. He bought practically the whole north side of the St. John's River paralleling the river j through a tract of probably 65 square miles. It is similiar to the dune country of northern Indiana only at the western end there are more hills and patches of heavy timber. The road crosses seven bridges over' the same number of creeks, some of these streams being 250 yds. wide with a depth of 40 feet in the middle of the channel and they all empty into the St John's River. After going 18 miles we passed the little fishing village <o£ Pilot Town and turned left over another creek to St. George's Island. Here among the wildest vegetation imaginable are located the Ribault Club and the Admirals Club with a golf course between them. Also the homes of 7 Admirals some of whom are retired. On leaving the island we are attracted by the walls of a house apparently of a rough cement construction which, appears deserted. From the outside it appeared to have been built probably ten years ago and abandoned. When We stepped inside we were slurprised to find two trees one of them five feet in diameter growing straight up through the living room. The fireplace had an opening of over six feet and most of the house needed little repair. At Pilot Town we learned the history of the house. It was built of coquina shell taken from the sand beaches nearby. It appears that the celebrated negro pirate Xenophiah Kingsley saved the life of a wealthy planter and in gratitude the planter offered him anything he would name. Kingsley demanded the hand of the planter's daughter in marriage and this house was the gift of the planter to the newly married couple. It has not been occupied since 1764. Back on the mlain road we turned north and crossed the Nassau River and the St. Mary's River and after 30 miles of scenic beauty arrived at Fernandina. This tdwn has a fishing fleet of over a hundred boats and each year ships more than 75,000 barrels of sihrimips alone. Part of the time they also fish fdr menhaden, an oily, boiiy fish that is highly regarded in fertilizer, One day last year the fleet brought in over 2,000,000 lbs. of these. We drove down their beach which is almost as good as Jacksonville Beach. Right now let me explain that the ocean fronts of the southern parts of the stats do not compare with those of the northern parts. In other words, the beaches at Palm Beach or Miami are nothing like those of Jacksonville or Daytona. At Jacksonville Beach ' the sand is packed down each day by the tide coming in and going out and the result is an immiense sand boulevard. Imagine a boulevard as smooth as your parlor floor -_ 800 feet wide on which lO© automobiles can drive abreast. -After gathering some star fish an&fehells we bought some oysters and shrimps for the evening meal and drove southwards into Jacksonville. . v The *MBct day we started for Daytona to see Cambell try and break h» auto record and on the way stopped again at St. Augustine. St Augustine Portfce* De Leon landed here Easter Sunday 1518. It was then an Indian village of several thousand inhabitants and \1*ras called Seloy. This settlement showed a higher type of culture than was common among the red tribes generally. Their homes were substantial, pretentious affairs according to a member of Sir John Hawkins' fleet who visited there in 1565. Some of these structures contained well over a hundred dwellers and the becls consisted of solid blocks of wood hollowed out t$ fit the outlines of the body and a raised paft for the head. St. Augustine proper was really founded in September 1565 and was the first permanent settlement on what is now the territory of the United States This was 55 years before the first Pilgrim set foot on Plymouth Rock. Thirty-one years later the town was captured and burned by Sir Francis Drake who then sailed for England. Then the town was rebuilt and with the exception of the massacre of the six Franciscan missionaries in 1599 by the Indians was fairly peaceful for 40 years. In 1638, the Appalachia Indians attacked the fort but were driven off and a large number made prisoners. These and their descendants for 60 years were used in the building of the fortifications. In 1647 the householders or families had only reached 300. In 1662 the pirate chieftain Capt. John Davis and his fleet of seven vessels captured the city. Then it was- determined to strengthen ahd enlarge the fort to its present size. The fort was %uilt to be impregnable at that time and took 84 years to complete and cost over $30,000,000. During * reige often it had to hold the entire population of the town. The walls were 30 feet thick constructed of coquina shell and though the town was captured several times since, the fort never yielded to assault. Formerly called San Marino or San Marco, it is" now named Fort Marion. It contains numberless interesting things that no one can afford to miss. Osceola's Cell, the dungeon, where they found the chained skeletons of those unfortunates walled in to die, and a great miany other things too numerous to mention but too important to miss for anybody going through this town. After leaving the fort, We drove toward the heart of thd" city, passing Treasury Street (.7 feet wide) the narrowest in this country. An hour spent in the Oldest House in the Unit- : . ed States on St. Francis Street was next, with its priceless collection of antiques and souvenirs. Next we paused at the Old Marine Cemetery where under the three cement pyramids lie 1487 men with unknown nam&9 killed in the Seminole War of 1837. The other two real old cemeteries, or rather three furnish gruesome reminders of the perils of pioneer days. A gunner in the Spanish navy with the faint outlines of 1631 showing the date of his death. Then a Franciscan Father killed during a pirate attack, adjoining a stone tablet showing that beneath a mother with her two little children laid, the victims of an Indian massacre. Then out of view another very old cemetery which contains the bones of the Franciscan missionaries Fathers de Montes and de Corpa martyred by the Indians 60 miles north. On this spot stands a small chapel erected in 1931. This is on the spot where the First Mass was said in this country, and overlooks Anastasia Bay. Then back to the Plaza on which fronts the present Cathedral built in 1793. Also the Spanish Governor's quarters and the Slave Market and Auction Platform with its pillars. West of the Flaze are the Ponce De Leon arid Alcazar Hotels both the height of magnificence. This is our . fourth visit to St. Augustine and we have not seen half of it, but we are compelled to leave this miniature of Madrid, Spain with its narrow streets, beautiful flowers, and numberless points of . interest and head for Daytona again to see if SSr Malcolm Cambell will be able, to break his own world's auto record. , In Daytona we manage to park several miles south of the heart of the ( town and walk to a bluff twenty-five' feet high overlooking the ocean drive* 1 way. We are about four miles south of the big pier in town which extends into the ocean and contains everything from a swimminng pool to a dance hall. A mile and a quarter south of us is the northern boundary of the measured mile. In other words, this is the official mile over which he is timed by electrical instruments,'under the supervision of the A. A. A. Racing Board. He formerly started at the pier but this year figured he needed more distance to get a start, so part of the pier vu torn out and an arch erected giving him plenty of room to go through. As far as we could see both north and south the bluffs over the beach were lined with spectators/ It is very important that Cambell doee not deviate on the course and so to help, a guiding line of black oil a foot wide is laid for nearly 12 miles. His starting point is about two miles north of the pier. Motercycle men patrols beat every quarter of a mile trying to keep the crowd off the beach but they persist in going down on to the course. The old timers know better, as when "The Bluebird" starts coming down the stretch you haven't got miuch time to get out of the way. Fleet airplanes circling above are stationed all along the course taking news reels and signaling the race officials. This is our second trip in a week as the first time he did not break his record. Then we heard the Police Plane telling the officials mile3 away that he has started and all eyes are riveted on the opening under the pier. The day is very clear and you can see miles in every direction but a great many people have binoculars. Suddenly a little puff of smoke under the pier and you see him coming. It looks like a giant insect close to the ground but no insect ever went that fast. Now he's past and rapidly going out of sight and we can smell the hot oil from his exhaust. Then the announcement that he had done the mile in 13.20 seconds which was faster than his old record. Then came speculation as to whether or not he could hold hia timie on the return trip as it is his average for both runs that count. The announcer then told that Cambell had shifted gears at' 152 miles an hour. The Bluebird has 2500 horse-power and weighs IrSarly 16,000 pounds. Under the A. A. A. rules he must complete both miles within 30 minuter. Now the announcer broadcasts thi beach warning and 30 seconds later comies the cry "He's off." It looks like a speck in the distance when the first drumming of the motor is heard and now the Bluebird is roaring down the stretch. Mingled with the oil smell you can detect the odor of burning rubber after he has gone by Then the warning "Stand by for a new record" and the mark of 276.816 miles an hour is announced. Then a hundred thousand people start homeward after having seen a human being travel at the fastest rate of speed ever attained on the ground in the history of the world. . .* ' Aunt Stasia Statistics show that of the nearly 20,000,000 people on relief about 1$,- 000,000 are women and children. i By sliding down a clothes line five members of Robers Zobel's family escaped death when their home at Calgary, Alberta, burned. Hicks Foster of Blue Mountain, Miss., is both frugal and ingenious. When his old car refused to run he used the chassis in building a wagon, fenders for a water trough, hinges for his barn door, radius rods for « wire stretcher, engine block for a doorstep, qnd radiator for a fireplace :'v: Recently Senator Borah proposed that the United States investigate the trouble between the Catholic church and the Mexican government. Now a Mexican senator wants his government to investigate the United States. The latter might not be « bad idea if it should lead to a remedy for what is the matter with us. Golden wedding anniversaries are not uncommon, but wfhen the four participants in a double wedding all live for 50 years after the event it is rather remarkable: This happened in the case of J. T. Manning and J. G. Page of Alabama and their wives, who recently celebrated a half century of wedded life. Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Page are sisters. Phil Guinto spent Wednesday and Thursday of this Week in Springfield on business. Mildred Thompson of DeKalb and Bill Sheehan, Chicago, visited her parents, Sunday. Clarence Smith, who is in a Chicago hospital, is now improving nicely after his recent critical condition. Lieut. Neil Norton of the OCC Camp at Cudahy, Wis., was a caller in the Dr. J. E.
