U-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

By BARBARA BROWNE Balloons! Hot Dogs! Confetti! Ah, yes, the Chi Omega Carnival is here again with its fiesta and its excitement of selecting a queen to rule over the festivities. Until 12 o'clock tonight, when the voting stops, it will be impossible to even guess who will be the ruler. To make the competition more lively, the cadets have split their vote between Rita Schoenfeld, Alpha Epsilon Phi, and Muriel Smith, independent and drum-majorette of the University band. The last time I looked at the voting chart—positions change every two minutes—Muriel, supported by the U. S. A. and undergraduate R. A. F. cadets, was in the lead. Rita, supported by the senior R. A. F. cadets, was second, and Betty Batcheller, backed by Kappa Kappa Gmma, Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Chi, was running a close third. Other candidates are Louise Wheeler, Tau Alpha; Mary Maroon, Delta Zeta; Jean Neubauer, Delta Phi Epsilon; Betty Blake, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Jacque Watson, Sigma Kappa, and Jeanne Atcheson, Alpha Chi Omega. Election of Student Leders It was surprising how many students did not know how to use a voting machine when one was rented from the city Wednesday for the elections of student government leaders. Election day found the campus decorated with gigantic posters and strewn with handbills, and teachers found it a trifle disturbing when enthusiastic campaigners gave cheers for their candidates. Poll tabulations revealed that Louise Wheeler was elected vice-president; Thelma Hall, secretary; George Miller, treasurer; Jack Coyle, prosecuting attorney; Seymour Simon, chief justice; Penney Roth, Marguerita Smith, Ernie Gallet, Bruce Hall, Harry Kaplan and Ed Sommers, associate justices. Congratulations are due the University debaters, for they have just been granted the Gamma chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity. Those who will be initiated in May are Hervey Klein, president; Annella Blanton, vice-president; Rita Smith, secretary; Stewart La Motte, debate manager; Jake Wison, Ben Axlerod, Dan Satin, Malcolm Kerner, Sanford Nadler, Seth Flax, Al Kasanov, and Dr. Charles Doren Tharp, debate coach. Dean Rasco to Be Sultan Latest attraction added by Theta Alpha Phi members to the program of their Follies, to be given May 2, is an act in which Dean Rasco of the law department will appear as the sultan of a harem of beautiful girls (they played the air corps in the stadium last Saturday night). Over 15 songs, from Oriental dances to sentimental love ballads, have already been written by Snuffy Swythe and Graham Miller.

Everglades Good Soil For Rice

Florida's vast Everglades, already being sounded on their possibilities in producing many of the tropical plants cut off bythe war, are now being investigated as a possible production source for a special type of Malayan rice. Bert Weil, president of the Melba Toast Company of New Jersey, now vacationing at Miami Beach, stated: "I am not an agriculturist, but I've learned some things about rice culture and I believe your Florida Everglades can produce what I'm after. I have some seed of an unusual type of rice, used in making rice crackers, rice which makes a flour requiring no yeast." Mr. Weil has been in conference with Clarence Bitting, president of the United States Sugar Corporation, on the question of rice growing, and states that if experimental work proves promising, he can secure seed and that a ready market awaits commercial production. He expressed great faith in Florida and predicted that the vast 'glades area would some day provide raw materials for huge industries.

SERMON TOPIC ANNOUNCED

The Rev. Carl Stackman of the Congregational Church will speak on the subject, "What Do We Want?" at the 11 o'clock service Sunday. Mrs. C. T. McCreedy will sing, "I Talked With God Last Night," by Guion.

Attend Conferences

Representatives to the state conferences of Congregational churches meeting in St. Petersburg this week were the Rev. and Mrs. Carl Stackman, Mrs. Andrew Doleman, Miss Fannie Thomas and Howard Anderson.

Cohen Seeking Legislative Post

Calling for speedy and victorious prosecution of the war, and elimination of waste, Barney J. Cohen or Orlando has tossed his hat into the campaign for Congressman-at-large from Florida, the fourth candidate to enter the lists. Cohen qualified last Friday, "at the insistence of many of my friends over the state," and announced a six-point platform on which he would conduct his race. He listed the other four points as: Preservation of American Constitutional Government; Outlawing of Strikes and Lockouts, by Legislation, in War Industries; Transportation and Communications for the Duration of the War; Mobilization of All Resources for the War Effort and Extermination of All Fifth Column Activities. The Orlandoan, who has been auditor in the Central and East Coast area for the State Comptroller for the past six years, is seeking his first state-wide political office.

Patriotic Hues Seen for Clothes

The family wash bundle may take on patriotic tones when war demands on present dye supplies make restrictions of colors necessary, according to the American Institute of Laundering. Research experts at the institute here have been studying the dye situation with the idea of keeping the housewife fully informed on what to expect in the matter of wash resistance of fabrics affected by the war program. Government sources indicate that brown, tan or shades related to khaki uniforms will gradually disappear from civilian clothing for the duration. When dye limitation orders take effect civilian clothes probably will be confined largely to red, white and blue tones, with gray also on the available list, these sources predict. The armed forces, it is explained, will require large quantities of dyes, and most of the raw materials from which the present "fastest" type of dye is made are also needed in the war effort. Institute officials assert that the unavailability of the "fastest" dyes in various shades would, of necessity, result in greater use of the more fugitive types of dyes for civilian clothing. The "fugitive" types will not have the wash resistance enjoyed by vat dyes, the "fastest" type, they explain.

Demand Grows For Fla. Tours

BOSTON (FNS)—New England travel bureaus report that there is a growing demand for shorter Florida tours and to meet it have arranged special 9-day trips that are meeting with marked success. Both the east and west coast are included in all-expense trips that include visits to St. Augustine, Marineland, Daytona Beach, West Palm Beach and Miami on one itinerary, or Silver Springs, Orlando, Bok Tower, Cypress Gardens, Tampa St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Fort Myers on another. Summer school teachers' tours are now being planned and are creating unusual interest. Travel agents look for a brisk business all summer. These special tours travel via the Silver Meteor and Champion and by motor bus between Florida points.

Worley Cherishes Hoover Telegram

G. A. Worley, the present State Attorney of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida, comprising Dade and Monroe counties, was appointed in June, 1935, and was re-elected in 1938 by an overwhelming majority of three to one over his opponent. He was born in Georgia on March 5, 1891, and has been a resident of Miami since 1897. He was educated in the public schools of Dade County. Studied law in his father's law office while working as a Deputy Clerk of the Criminal Court of Record and was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court in 1912. He has been actively engaged in the practice of law for thirty years. He is a World War veteran, enlisting as a private in the regular United States Army. He was commissioned as a flying officer in the United States Army Air Service. He is a member of the American Legion, a Scottish Rite Mason, member of the Mahi Shrine, member of the Royal Order of Jesters, an Elk and a member of various other civic organizations. Mr. Worley has prosecuted cases attracting nation-wide interest. Among the most cherished records of his office is a telegram from J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, congratulating him on the manner in which he conducted the investigation and prosecuted the criminal in the Cash kidnaping case. Mr. Hoover wired as follows: "I want to extend to you my heartiest congratulations upon the fine and dignified manner in which you handled the trial of McCall. The trial and its early conclusion will go down in the history of this country as an example of what intelligent and trained prosecutors with the proper regard both for justice and society can do. Florida should be proud of you and the way you handled this case. With heartiest congratulations both personally and officially."

Children's Society to Meet With Organizing President

Tequesta Society, Children of the American Revolution, will meet Tuesday afternoon, April 21, at the home of the organizing president, Mrs. James Sottile, Sr., 1533 N. W. 9th Street, Miami. The meeting has been called for 4 o'clock. It was decided at the organizing meeting in March that the society should meet the third Tuesday in each month at the homes of the members. At that meeting several gifts were presented to the new group. A large taffeta American flag by the Coral Gables D. A. R.; a silver-banded gavel by the organizing president, Mrs. Sottile; a large handsome scrapbook by Susan Cabell Hunt, a member, in honor of her great-grandmother, Mrs. Charles Henry Lesueur, founder of the Coral Gables D. A. R.; a card index file by Mrs. George Washington Wood and a metal file for application papers from Mrs. Arthur Wood. Both of these ladies are members of the Coral Gables D. A. R. Mrs. Malcolm Merrick, state vice-president C. A. R., presented Tequesta Society with a beautiful guest book. Mrs. Herbert O. Vance, Florida State publicity chairman, C. A. R., will be a guest at Tuesday's meeting. She will present the award to the society for having the most publicity of any C. A. R. society in Florida. Mrs. James P. Carson, author of "Fabulous Florida," and who was to have been present at the organizing meeting, will be a guet on Tuesday. She will tell the members all about the new name for the organization.

TALK ABOUT ADVERTISING

to Tony and he'll say, "I no advertise!" But, of course, you know that he's doing just that, perhaps in another way. He does it when he puts up that sign . . . when he paints his cart a bright red and blue so that it can be easily identified, so that it looks gay . . . when he stops at a busy corner, because Tony knows that he can sell more apples when more people see his apples . . . when he shouts "Apples!" as he pushes his cart along. TONY HAS LEARNED the first principle of successful selling: bring your wares before the eyes of great numbers of people and you can sell profitably. But not everyone in Coral Gables is a Tony, and few business men specialize in apples. Moreover, Tony is satisfied with the number of apples he sells. A progressive merchant would never stop there. Tony is advertising —yes, but in a feeble, limited sort of way. If you are not like Tony—if you are not satisfied with the number of "apples" you are selling, and you want to sell more—you'll advertise in a newspaper that has a loyal local following, one that is read by the people who are able to buy your "apples." In Coral Gables that paper is The Riviera. "Advertise? I no need to advertise! I sell da apple without your "advertise." I tink datsa foolish!"
