Ferries Between Key West,
Matecumbe To Garry Cars
Permission Was Granted
This Morning By Super
vising Steamboat Inspec-
tor AT New Orleans

Permission was granted this
morning by Cecil Bean, supervis-
ing steamboat Inspector at New
Orleans, to operate ferries Florida
Keys and Key West of the Mon
roe county system, between Key
West and Matecumbe through
Hawk Channel.
Franklin E. Albert, FERA ex-
ecutive officer in charge of ferry
operation said this afternoon he
did not know exactly when this
schedule would be put in effect,
bVt would announce it in. ample
time for those owning cars and
desiring to go north, to make the
necessary preparations.
ut is not intended to transport
Sss;sengers ont the FERRIES from
Key West, it was said, passengers
going over the highway to Big
Pine Key, being transported from
there to No Name on the two
launches Boca Chica and Tess.
both of which are now in opera
ton.
Thus owners OF cars who are
travelling north can make ar
rangements to have Their cars
sent on the ferry from Key West
and plan their movements to meet
the ferry at No Name or Mate
cumbe and proceed on their jour-
ney.
This procedure will necessarily
have to be mainta ned until ar
engagements can be completed for
the construction of ramp at Big
Pine Key which will reach out to
deep channel. approximately
100 yards from shore.
Planning For Ramp
Plans are being made today to

the two points.
As soon as their report is made.
it is understood. arrangements
will be made to have the material
transported to the point selected
from which to start construction
of the ramp, and work will start

The necessity of this was ap-

said, when E. c. de Gar1no, main

of his efforts would be toward
securing material and starting
work to replace the sections of the

Duce's Air Plan Speeded
To Meet European Crisis
Proposed Aviation Pro-

Of Europe's Foremost
Forces In Next 3 Years

ing Italy one of Europe's fore
most air forces, supported by
r-volutionized industrial organ

In May, 1884, MussoIini an
nounced he would spend a billion
lire in six years to make over the
national air force. Later he added
20o,000.o00 lire, bringing the to-
tai to about $4,000, 900, and or
dered the job done by June 80,
1887.
The air force already had been
getting 900, 100000 a year, equi-
valent to about $4,000, 700.
At the time II Duce announced
his air program the Italian force
cons 'sted o. 25,830 men, / $50 o.
them pilots. There are nov 1850
commissioned officer plots and
41,9O0 men, including 1,4OO stu
dent officers in training.
Training of Reserves
Mussolini's expansion program
also conrprehends the training of
10000 reserve pilots. This means
there are 5000 actual or poten-
tial pilots already flying or in
training.
Informed sources place the
present italian air strength at
about 1000 planes. Of which be-
tween 450 and 500 are in East
Africa.
This number is being aug
mented constantly, however, with
new planes produced by four big
aviation trusts. SIX independent
companies and four firms manu-
featuring motors only.
New Planes Climb Fast
Air force plans can Tor sub

bombers have a speed OF 215

and cruising range of $50 miles,
with a carrying capacity OF 5000
pounds.
The new pursuit planes have a
speed OF $50 miles an hour against

can climb to $4,000 feet and are
armed with three. four and even
five machine guns firing at all
angles.
The new reconnaissance planes

cation instruments.
For the present Italy continues
to use the hydro-airplane bombers
of the type used by General Balbo
in his flight to America. But the
1880 and 1881 land bombers were
sent to Africa. leaving the more
up-tO-date planes at home for the
sterner eventualities of possible
European war.
