NATIONAL GUARD
UNIT TO BUILD
UP STRENGTH
YOUNG MEN OF KEY WEST
ARE OFFER Cd oPPoRTUNI-
TY TO BECOME AFFILIATED
WITH ORGANIZATION

What should be of interest TO
the young men of Key West be-
tween the ages of Is and 25, Is
the movement being carried on at
this time by the Officers of the
Key West Florida National Guard
unit, to build up the enlistment
strength of Battery e..
Officers of the battery are ex-
planning the many advantage
which are given the ambitious
young man who seeks opportunity
to study and fit himself for a bet
ter future mentally, financially
and socially.
1t was pointed out to The Citi-
zen that young men of prescribed
ages are eligible to take up any
of the army correspondence cOurs-
es and in comparatively short
time be eligible for appointment
in the officers reserve corps.
Artillery being the most tech
nical branch of the army service.
it was shown, is naturally the most
difficult to master, but the keen
minded young man who looks for
ward to a better future, win find
the course of studies a delight
rather than a task.
Those who desire to enlist and
take up the various study courses
also find that remuneration begins
with their enlistment, as pay is re-
ceived for each drill they attend.
Ordinary privates receive 81;
privates first class, $1-15; cor
porals, $1.40. and sergeants, S1-8O.
And, in addition. full pay is re-
ceived for the summer eneamp-
ment, which is more in the ma
ture of vacation Shan hard
work, it is said.
Unless the young men of Key
West display interest in this eff
fort to recruit the local battery
up to required strength, an officer
pointed out yesterday. there is a
possibility that the Key West unit
will be merged with another unit
of the state and headquarters re-
moved.
This may also eventually mean
that the regular summer encamp-
ment of the 265th Regiment will
be held in some other city. pos
sibly Pensacola, as was the prac-
tice before the permanent camp
was established at Fort Taylor.

UNIVERSITY OF
FLORIDA GROUP
GOING ONCRUISE
PLANS MADE FOR CLASSES
ON SHIP IN CARIBBEAN
SEA; PROPOSED VOYAGE TO
BEGIN JULY 4

Glasses on a ship in the Carib-
bean sea, a jungle cruise into the
interior of South America, and
conducted trips on the islands of
the West Indies are some of the
experiences which await the stu
dents of the University of Florida
summer cruise. Trading opera
tons as carried on under the
British, French and Dutch flags
are to be studied by actual obser-
walton.
The cruise is offered as part of
the regular curriculum of the
College of Business Administra-
ton of the University, with the
Institute of Inter American AT
fairs cooperating. 1t will begin
on July a and end on August II.
Only University of Florida stu
dents, or students from other col
leges eligible to register in the
university, may take the cruise.
Students who make this trip will
take two courses, each of which
carries three semester hours cred
it. Enrolment, however, is to be
limited to eleven students.
Two Courses Offered
DR.. w. T. Hicks, assistant pro-
fessor of Economics and Market
ing at the University, will direct
the cruise. He will also teach the
two courses offered-one of which
is entitled, "Trade Horizons in
Caribbean America" and the
other, international Trade These
two courses are taught on the
campus during the regular winter
session.
The itinerary of the cruise in
cludes ten ports. The first of
these after leaving Tampa will be
Kingston, Jamaica, where the ship
spends three days. The second
stop is to be Points A Pitre, Qua
deloupe, an island of the Lesser
Antilles discovered by Columbus
on his second voyage to the New
World. This island belongs to
France. Fort de France, Martin
ique, another French port, is the
third stop. Two days will be
available on this island to look
over points of historical interest,
such as the birthplace of jose
phine, Empress of France, and to
study trading methods under the
Flag of France.
Overnight Trip
An overnight run will then car
ry the ship to the British island of
Barbados. This is one of the most
densely populated areas in the
world. Two other British ports,
Port of Spain, Trinidad. and
Georgetown, British Guiana, are
next in order for the cruise.
Georgetown is within seven de-
grees of the equator, but the
trade winds from the Atlantic
ocean cool it.
Territory belonging to still an
other nationality, the Netherlands,
constitutes the next two stops.
The first is Paramaribo, Dutch
Guiana. and the second is Moengo,
Dutch Guiana. In order to reach
Moengo the vessel will sail 10
miles up the Commewigne and
Cottica rivers.
Trinidad and Jamaica enter the
program again on the return voy-
, age, and the trip will officially end
in New Orleans. thereby complet-
ing a voyage of some 5000 miles.

Rome Builds Huge Gas Chamber
To Be Used As Bombing Shelter
Designed AS Haven For
Numerous Refugees To
Foil Bombers Carrying
On Activities
By GEORGE c. JORDAN
(Dy Associated Press)

lily Associated PresS)
ROME, March 14.-The Eter-
nal City's first gas bomb shelter
is nearing completion just out
side the Porta Maggiore, the
ancient gate of walled Rome
where Vandal chieftains once
yelled their threats at besieged
defenders
The refuge is significant of the
mood of the modern capital,
many of whose residents live in
the conviction that a European
war will bring death from the
skies to this centuries-oId battle
field.
A newspaper campaign recently
advised shoppers and theater-
gOers the huge tunnel under the
royal palace would make an ex-
cellent hideout in case of an air
raid.
Haven For Street Car Men
An aerial defense league of CO.,
900 members is pushing nation
wide preparedness, and gas-proof
shelters like that at the Porta
Maggiore are likely to follow by
the score.
Gas mask drills extend from
the aged to the 6 to 8-year-olds
in Mussolini's "Sons of the Wolf"
This first refuge is being built
for the protection of street rail-
way workers living in large CO.
operative apartment house. It's
construction embodies the most
modern defense devices known to
Italy's aerial and military au-
thorities.
The shelter consists of Is I'M
derground chambers of reinforced
concrete under a double roof.
These rooms, about 20 feet
square, are entered at either end
of covered passages connecting
with the two ends of the U-shaped
workers dwelling.
Double Roof Insulated
Each room is a unit by itself,
detached from the others and
having its individual connection
with the shelters main vent;lating
system. The walls are six inches
thick, the ceiling II. Above this
thick ceiling, heavily reinforced
with steel, is a 16-inch air cushion
and above that is. a second, or
surface, roof, ~
FILTERED air for the refuge is
drawn through a chimney which
is to have its intake 100 feet
above the ground. In this way
the engineers hope to avoid the
-heavy gases which probably would
be used in an attack.
Pumps are to be installed
which will work electrically or by
hand. The plans call for a pres
sure inside the chambers great
enough to prevent any seepage of
air from the outside in case cracks
develop in any of the rooms.
Six hundred people may be
seated comfortably in the tanks.
which will be lighted electrically.
A chamber at each entrance will
be equipped for reviving gas vic
Tins and a third inner room will
be fitted as a hospital.
In designing a refuge for 600
people, the builders calculated
half of the 1900 workers to be
housed in the new dwelling would
flee the city in case of air raid
warnings.

Why PUT up With
pIMPLES, WRINKLES
and ASALL0W SKIN?

So many women throw their
charm and beauty away II look
years older than they are-because
they neglect common constipation.
They forget that badly balanced
meals, over a period of years, can
change how they look and feel.
Often their menus lack the ''bulk"
needed for regular habits. Then
constipation, the beauty-killer, sets
in. Other effects may be head
aches, listlessness, sleeplessness.
Get 'bulk" back into your meals
with a delicious cereal: Kellogg's
ALL BRAN. It absorbs moisture
within the body, forms soft mass,
gently cleanses the system.
Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily,
either as a cereal or in cooked
dishes. ALL-BRAN is guaranteed.
