BUS SCHEDULE
OF MOTOR
TO BE CHANGED
THIS ACTION is TAKEN DUE
TO FACT THAT TWO FER
RIES WILL BE IN SERVICE
TOMORROW

Service of the Florida Motor
Lines buses will be resumed at the
regular hour tomorrow morning
instead of the early hour which
has been the schedule since the
Ferry Florida Keys has been on
drydock and the Key West has
been on a daily round trip sched-
ule.
The Florida Keys came off the
ways yesterday and was taken
around into the yacht basin at the
submarine base until this morning
when she left direct for Mate
cumbe to take up the regular run
to No Name Key tomorrow.
The bus will leave Key West at
80 a. m. instead of 5:45 a. m.
This places the bus back on the
regular schedule. Change was
made a week ago when one of the
boats was brought to Key West to
undergo repairs.
Undergoing a thorough renova-
ton, with shafts Strengthened and
new propellers installed, bottom
cleaned and painted and the sup
erstructure placed in good condi-
ton this vessel is now in first
class travelling condition.
The new dining room service is
being gotten in readiness on both
the ferries, Florida Keys and Key
West, and insures travellers up to
the minute cuisine and attention.
H. L. Peet, A. A. Darling and
". H. Faulkner, officials of the
Interstate Company, have about
completed everything in connec-
ton with the establishment of this
innovation, have been in Key West
since Sunday putting into effect
every detail.
Purchases of all stores and fuel
have been made from local mer-
chants or agents, it is understood.

RECK HEARD
AT MEETING
GARDEN CLUB
LOCAL WPA DIRECTOR GIVES
OUTLINE OF WHAT ORGAN
IZATIoN PROPOSES TO DO
IN IDENTIFICATION

The meeting of the Garden
Club and the Tree Guild called to
meet with Director Herbert F. R.
Reck, for consultation on the
subject of Identification Plan
Ming" met last night at the Pub
lie Library with a good attend
ance of representative citizens.
Mr.. Reck was introduced by
Mrs. William r. Warren and pro-
ceeded to give an informal talk,
suresslng the fact that the WPA
would probably have a substantial
sum to be devoted to the beauti-
fication project; and especially
stressing the fact that it would
be up to the citizens of Key
West to determine how this sum
was to be expended for their
benefit; that the WPE did not
propose to plan for them. He
outlined the far-reaching benefits
that would result from the for
nation of a six-year plan which
they would shortly be called up
on to make.
The vast improvement in the
morale of West Palm Beach, as a
result of the carrying out of a
well-planned Identification pro-
gram was presented as an example
of what Key West might expect
from the activities of their plan
ming board, backed by the CO.
operation of the WPA.
His talk was we'll received, the
feeling of the meeting being ex-
pressed by the Rev. John C. Geke-
Ter who voiced the appreciation of
those present. at the attitude
taken of working with as well as
for Key West.
Among others. brief talks were
made By William R. Porter, Miss
Mollie Parker, Wallace Bryant
Kirke, Norberg Thomson. Plans
now being formulated by Miss
Parker will shortly be ready for
discussion. it was stated, and the
meeting closed with a feeling of
assurance that definite and good
results were to be counted on in
the near future that would be of
permanent and last benefit to Kew
West as it prepares to present to
the oncoming tide of visitors a re-
habilitated city.

Heavy Guns Used In Target
Practice Today By Guards
Pensacola Battery And Lo-
cal Unit Were Organ
izations Taking Part In
Activities

Booming sound of the guns and
the shrieking of projectiles
through the air was proof that
the schedule of firing the IL inch
mcrtars at Fort Taylor was UNI
der way this morning.
If this was not convincing the
fact that houses in the vicinity of
the fort would shake after each
defamation and in one instance a
piece o fglass from a cracked pane
in the WPA administration build
ing fell to the floor after the
fourth shot.
Battery. I'D" of Pensacola was
the first unit to go into action.
What the score of this battery was
will not be determined until. prob
ably, tomorrow. They finished
before noon and left the pits at
las.
Battery "E'' of Key West held
the center of interest this after
noon, starting shortly after the
lunch hour and concluded their
firing period in about one hour.
Tomorrow the smaller pieces
are to be fired unless there is
some change in the routine. Bat
teries "H' and "B" of Jackson
vile will hold their practice using
the 155 millimeter rifles. The
sharp "crack of these pieces will
be in perfect contrast to the heavy
boom of the IL inch mortars, it is
assured.
Recent arrivals at the camp are
Liautenants Stevenson, Goodall
and Weiss, of the AVIATION Squad
ron Alabama National Guard, who
came in by plane yesterday and
are doing duty as "spotters" dur
ing the target practices.

Instructions are being Issued
to the Employment Division TO

those cases will be some who are
eligible for old age benefit pay

best for you to go over the list Of
those persons dropped for these
reasons and give oft the informa-
ton to the county commissioners
in each of your counties They
should have this information now
in order to incorporate it now in
their budgets for the coming year

the people are properly taken care

please make it clear TO them
that the responsibility Of the WPA
lies with those persons in each

The Birth Of q Ship

Continued from poge two

the passage is tumultuous; and that
means much to a lady in her berth,
wondering why she feels more cheerful
than she expected to be; unaware, of
course, that the seas beyond the cleo
trio sconces at her dressing table are
so menacing that the ships master is
considering some SOS. signals from
far away. She does not know, either,
that men she will never know had
that very night in mind. and judged
the worst it could do, before the ship
was begun. and SO provided her not
only with safety, but with forget
fulness.
At one time, and not so very long
ago, ships were built by rule of thumb.
The most important work in ship
construction is completed now before
the keel is laid. Material cannot be
ordered and assembled, and craftsmen
may not begin to fix and shape it,
until the technicians have assured
themselves by calculation and cross
checking and experiment that their
image of a ship, the shape they are
trying to see convincingly, is one with
which the sea will be able to find no
fault when it is embodied in steel
For that reason the various depart
,,,a.te rpyn NTH h,,u ,xI
accommodation are often strongly dis
putative What. for instance, have the
creators of boilers and engines to do
with passengers, or even with naval
architects? These experts have to be
tactful with each other, and adjust
their labOrs to a common purpose.
How often long and subtle calcula-
tion that has arrived at a perfect
conclusion, a mathematician pride,
proves to be "out" when an attempt is
made to fit it to the uncompleted
puzzle! There are inspirations which
end in bitter disappointments. This
blessed ship. all in the air, is elusive.
There are cunning notions which re-
fuse to work with the others, when
tested. There are difficulties which
have the face of the utterly impossible;
and then insight and skill convert
them into lucky strokes. Solutions
come, as gifts from the cherub aloft,
to merge in shapely fashion a mass of
conflicting needs.
The problem goes from the scientists
to the Molding Loft; though it is
doubtful whether that place would
entertain many of the folk who, some
day, will dance on the deck of the
ship which there is being 'laid-off."
What is to be seen there? Only a
labyrinth of lines at ones feet. lines
that cross each other.
But these experts see more than
that. They see solidly everything

have existence, and they see it in its
