GREAT CHANGE IN
ILLUMINATION OF
KEY WEST BEACON
WHAT WAS ONCE OIL BURN
ING LIGHTHOUSE BECOMES
POWERFUL LIGHT BY AID
OF MODERN EQUIPMENT

From wick lamp to modern alec-
trie lighting devices mark the pro-
gress made in aides to navigation
in the Seventh Lighthouse dis
trict.
Key West light which for many
years was an attended aid, burn
ing oil and requiring the care and
attention of three keepers to keep
It's rays of 1900 candle power
flashing across the watery wastes,
was changed to a more modern
light in 1915.
On january / Of that year the,
then, new acetyIene lamp was in
stalled which required no keeper
but came on when darkness APP
preached and went off when the
light Of day impinged on the
cylinder coated with lampblack
which controlled the flow of gas.
Then the light was of 5000
candle power and was considered
a marvellous device. Today the
light is Of 1900 candle power
and is electric, the acetylene APP
paratus having been relegated to
the discard.
Now the mechanism Is control
led BY the photo-electric cell which
.turna % Aheslight At sunaown and
off at daylight. This makes it
possible to use current supplied
by the local electric company.
The operation is on the same
principle as used at the century
of progress exposition for turning
on the lights at night by a ray
from the star Arcturus. says Mr..
Demeritt, superintendent Of this
district.

sion is a $4,000, 900 revolving
fund authorized by the farm,
credit act of 1893 for the federal
purchase of capital stock in pro-
duction credit associations and
corporations.
The associations, one to each
federal land bank district. pro-
vide loans to individual farmers
for crop and livestock production,
and the corporations or banks
similarly distributed substitute
for the dismantled farm board in
financing cooperative marketing
agencies.
Professor To Pay Tax
simultaneously the agricultural
readjustment administration moves
to lift the surplus pressure from
wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, to-
bacco, milk and milk products.
The act provides that compensa-
ton to farmers for reducing
acreage or production be financed
out of professors tax on the
domestically consumed portion Of
the commodity served.
In addition, the professors tax
may be used to pay producers the
difference between the open mar
ket price of a commodity and the
price at which it would have to
sell to restore its pre-war pur-
chasing power.

NOW IMPROVED
ASSISTANT SURGEON FROM
MARINE HOSPITAL AT KEY
WEST WENT TO ISLAND TO
RENDER AID

Il 4 & ss
Howard Lowe and family Of
10, who were suffering from
ptomaine poisoning yesterday at
Dry Tortugas light station, are
rapidly recovering and in a short
time will be their normal selves.
This is the opinion of Assistant
Surgeon D. G. Elliott who went
to the island yesterday.
AS soon as word was received
by radio telephone from Tortugas
advising of the situation, w. w.
Demeritt. superintendent of light
houses got in touch with the
Marine hospital. DIR. Elliott was
at once assigned to handle the
cases and left a short time later
accompanied by Staff Nurse
Emma Hackett.
Arriving at the island it was
found Mr.. Lowe and his family
were suffering from a not violent
form of poisoning, resulting from
eating either meat or fish. Which
food was responsible for the
poisoning was not determined.
After the sufferers had been
cared for and instructions given
regarding the medicines supplied
the doctor and nurse boarded the
Ivy and returned to Key West
reaching port about 1890 this
morning.
In telling of the matter Mr..
Demeritt said to The Citizen that
in future such conditions will be
avoided as 1t is intended to in
stall refrigeration devices at the
light.

2. Agricultural Readjustment
Administration, 500, 600, 900.
The IL federal land banks are
authorized to issue AN aggregate
of $4,000, 100000 of 4 per cent
bonds for the purpose of making
new loans to farmers at AZ per
cent interest, purchasing mort
cages to prevent foreclosures; and
may exchange bonds for mort
cages not in excess of the re-

To compensate federal land

to farmers and deferring INSTALL

WASHINGTON, June 20.
Rehabilitation of agri-
culture is rated a social as
well as an economic job in
the program for a new ma
tional economy.
Advocates of the program
which congress has approved for
the farmer see it translating
higher prices for farm COM
modities into a weapon against
debt, lost purchasing power and
wasteful production.

In effect, congress says to the
farmer:
"The government will help you
to keep your home and your bust
ness and even alp commodity and
dollar values, but you must re-
duce your production to a profit

you can purchase the products
and services by which the rest of
the population makes q living"
