WOULD NOT MAR
BEAUTY OF CITY
VISITOR WRITES LETTER TO
HOUSING DEPARTMENT
TO THAT EFFECT

Howard Rush, head of a large
establishment in New York and
for two consecutive seasons a
dweller in Key West has written
to the head of the housing de-
partment expressing the hope that
the changes anticipated in Key
West after the highway is con-
structed, will have no effect on
the beauty of the city.
With the influx of visitors next
year when it will be perfectly
smooth riding to Key West, Mr..
Rush feels that the streets will
not be sufficiently commodious to
accommodate the thousands OF
cars which will be in the city.
He writes that next year ne
will be back again and will have
a party of friends aside from his
family, to enjoy the season in this
delightful city.

new MIGRANTS
TO BE PUT To
TEST SHORTLY
WORK OF INSTALLATION ON
SIXTY NEW UNITS FOR Wa
TER SYSTEM WILL BE COM.
PLETED SOON


Area Supervisor B. C. Moreno,
for the WPA in this district, said
this morning that the installation
of hydrants for the Key West
water system was nearing com
plet;on, and. will soon be in read
mess for operations. When COM
pleted the system viii have 60
more stands than were available
for use before the project.
Before being declared ready
for use each main is tested to
Withstand a pressure OF $50
pounds to the square inch and all
Of the mains are 10, IL and ID
inches, and are of the highest
type in use today.
Each stand has two two-way
connections and one steamer con-
nection. This steamer connec-
ton means a six-inch line from
the hydrant to the engine, and in
emergency means that stream
of water can be made available
even though the engine may be
temporarily OFT of commission.
There were none of the steamer
connections in the old system.
Asked If the sewer and water
mains were being installed along
with the progress of the work on
the sewer and water system, Mr..
Moreno said that contrary to the
belief of many people in the city
this was being done, many of the
homes in the city had the water
and sewage lines carried to the
property line now, and all of these
necessary connections wonld be in
stalled when the work is declared
ready for use.

During the month of April a
new unit of the National Youth

the Superintendent of Lighthouse

rious departments Of the Light
house Division five NYA youths,
as follows:
In the Electrical Department,
the Drafting Room, the Chief
Clerks Office. the Painting De-
'partment, and the Engineering
Department.
These youths are not displacing
any person that can be employed
by this department since they are
merely placed in this division to
receive training so that in the fu-
ture if any vacancy may occur in
the various departments, these
youths will be qualified to accept

MOVEMENT GAINS TO MAKE VAST EVERGLADES JUNGLE,
WITH FANTASTIC PLANT AND ANIMAL

BY HARRIS C. SIMS
Lakeland, Fla.

species OF "alr plants, related to.
pineapples, grow in trees there.
Eight of the fifteen species of
palms in the United States grow
in this area, including the coco
nut palm.
Oysters attach themselves to
the trunks of trees at high tide
and are seen clinging there by
the thousands at low tide. Hugh
Sea turtles weighing several hum
bred pounds hatch their eggs in
this section. Seashells OF every
size and variety have been found
along the sandy beaches, provid-
ing some of the finest museum
collections known.
Birds Most Impressive
Birds will be one OF the most
impressive textures of the park
project. Thousands of these bril-
liant-hucd creatures live there.
among them the keron, egret, ibis,
flamingo, inpkin, roseate, spoon
bill, caracara, ivory-billed wood
pecker, sandhiil crane, Everglades
Kite, pelican, gull, duck, turkey
and quail. In years past the plum
age OF more beautiful birds was
sold in the fashion markets o.
Paris, London, New York and
either eenters, as well as to tour
lists. The park will be a huge
sanctuary for all birds, giving
protection to some species almost
extinct.
Besides seemingly endless acres
Of mangroves and palms, some of
the other trees found there in
large numbers ere cypress, fig.
rubber, buttonwood, lignum vitae,
pine and mahogany. Rare plants
spread themselves thickly over the
ground or climb trees and vines to
form a lacy decoration. Ferns
sprout from many tree trunks.
Archaeologists and anthropolo-
gists are among the large group of
scientists who look to the park for
many valuable data, having al
ready obtained considerable per.
tinent evidence there during the
past fifty years. Their work viii
be made more convenient under
national regulation, and cooperat-
ing agencies doubtless viii act
with more readiness.
Indians To Act AS Guides
The park is farther south than
any other section Of the United
States and $50 miles farther south
than Cairo, Egypt, extending into
fairly even climate that includes
no cold weather. During the
Summer there are periods of I'M
comfortably warm days, but
breezes from the salt water bring
cool nights. The Gulf Stream is
not far away.
In the Everglades are nearly
600 Seminole Indians, who are
left alone to live very much ac-
cording to their own tribal laws
and customs. Ever since discus
sion of the park began the Sem
inoles have been mentioned as
guides. Such employment would
give these illiterate and exploited
refugees financial aid they great
ly need. A reservation of 100,-
900 acres recently has been an
nouncad for them.
Royal Palm State Park, tract
OF 1000 acres owned and main
tanned by the Florida Federation
of Women's Clubs, is part of the
Everglades National Park area
and nrerges into the larger pro-
ject when final steps have been
taken to complete the latter.

Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN you find stamped but un-
mailed letter lying in the street,
do you go through throes of con-
science as to what to do about it?
You're pretty sure someone dropped
it on the way to the mail box, and
you might just as we'll mail it. Yet,
it might be a letter that the sender
had decided not to mail, and had
dropped on the way back from the
mail box.
Still, you think, maybe it's inn
portant and should go out right away.
But then maybe the person will come
back for it, and If she doesn't find it.
she'll be all upset.
After 10 minutes of staring, you
walk on past, and let the next chap
decide.
We heard recently of man who
solved the whole thing by mailing the
letter back to the sender, and letting
her decide what to do. 1t might be
less trouble to place the letter on top
of the mail box where the postman
could get it when he came along, and
yet where the sender could find it if
she came rushing back to retrieve it.
We think, however, that we'll stick
to finding pennies and dimes On the
sidewalk, and let someone else find
the letters. Letters get too compli-

Give Name
'WhenCalling
IOn Phone
If Not Done Volun-
tarily It Is Proper to
Request 1t Politely.
BY EMILY POST.


.DEAR MRS. POST: Is it considered
~ ruce to ask over q business tel
ephone, Who is calling. please" An
of1ice associate insists that it is not
being courteous and people will criti-
ciZe our ONCE.
Answer.-In the first place, partic-
ularly those who seldom telephone
your office should give their names
without having to be asked for them,
and when they don't it is absolutely
necessary in most cases to ask Tor the
name.
DEAR MRS. POST: Is it bad form
- when meeting some one for the
second time to say, i've already had
this pleasure?" 1t seems rather un-
gracious not to say something more
than How do you do?" in such cases.
Answer-Instead of "I've already
had this pleasure, say II think / met
Mrs. Blank several years ago"
\
DEAR MRS. POST: My husbands
~ sister has been twice married and
twice divorced and she again calls
herself Mary Maidenname. She Is
coming to pay us a visit and natu-
rally there will be times when I shall
have to introduce her by title. Is 1t
possible that q woman may be called
Miss after having been married?
Answer.-Even though your sister
in-law Is an actress or has shop or
in any other way uses her unmarried
name professionally, it Is absolutely
incorrect to introduce her as Miss So
cially. Properly she Is Mrs. Her-Own-
Surname followed by her second hus-
bands name. For example, if she was
Mary Smith and then married a man
named Brown and then married q
man named Green, she is now Mrs.
Smith Green. According to best taste
no other name Is possible.
DEkR MRS. POST: In case Of ILL
- ness or death in the family, when
people say, II am so sorry," what Is
the suitable response?
Answer.-Thank you.
DEAR MRS. POST: What is the
- correct way to introduce a new
sister-in-law to my group of best girl
friends? She is young. too, but a
stranger to them. In fact, she's prac-
tically q stranger to me, although I
fael as Though I've known her having
heard so much about Mary" from
the brother who has just married her.
Answer.-To your most intimate
friends you would say, This is Johns
wife, Mary (pause) and, Mary, this Is
Ruth Brown, Mary Green, Sally
Black" etc.
