Seeing Bridge

The only bridge in the world that
can "see" has been completed at
Kincardine, Scotland. Equipped
with three electric "eyes," the huge
swinging center span automatical-
ly aligns itself with the roadway
when closed. All three "eyes" are
located on one end of the swinging
span, says the Washington Post.
One sees the span does not over
shoot the mark. another that it does
not understood. and the third
watches for the dead central posi-
ton. The l,500-ton span is so
delicately poised on the central
pivot that only two 50-horsepower
electric motors are needed to swing

Matrimonial Adventures.

HERETOFORE some of the au-
4 l thorities have held that the first
two years were the hardest in matri-
monial adventures, but the peak of
the danger period for married coup
les is now set at the sixth year by
Los Angeles city attorney. On the
side he runs bureau for handling
the funds assessed for family sup
port against separated or delinquent
parents. So he ought to know about
it, if anybody does.
Well, personally, always did
have the theory that no woman
could stand any man for more than
five years unless she got numb.
After that it's just a long-distance
endurance test on her side-and per-

called Spanish architecture, with its
many bright colors glistening in the
sun. The magnificent beach and
palatial hotel at Hollywood are sep
arated from the rest of the city by
the narrow Intracoastal Waterway,
which provides small boats with q
sheltered channel from New Jersey
to the Gulf of Mexico. It is pleasure
at this time Of year to see the many
fine yachts, whose home ports are
north of the Mason Dixon line,
cruising down this canal toward Bis
cayne Bay, Miami and Miami Beach.
Large Seaside Villas.
In approaching Miami Beach by
water or the shore road, one passes
elaborate seaside villas which become
larger and more spectacular as the city
is neared. In the northern end Of
Miami Beach is an unpublicized neigh
borhood that Is not duplicated any,
where in America. There are miles Of
navigable canals lined with beautiful
mansions of various Mediterranean
architectures, each with a Venetian
style boat landing. To most inland
Americans who are fortunate enough
to discover this district, the view Of
pleasure craft at anchor at the very
doorsteps of hundreds of homes is the
most distinctive sight in all Greater
Miami
As late as 1918 Miami Beach was
nothing but an avocado farm. In
less than IS years it has become what
many claim is the most beautiful
resort city on the Atlantic. 1t is a
city that has never known smoke

is unlike Northern resorts, for there
Is very little commercialism on the
beach. One.third of the ocean front
consists of palm-shaded parks, and
most Of the rest Of the shore is hotel
or residential property. There is no
boardwalk, no Coney Island features.
Miami Beach is situated on a mar
row peninsula, never more than q
mile wide, which separates the At
lantic from Biscayne Bay. The no.
tells on the beach side feature pri-
vate beaches, bath and sun clubs
and cabanas. Those on the bay
shore boast of piers right at their
doors, where their guests may moor
their yachts. Along these shores
and on the canals are located the
luxurious mansions of many celebri-
ties who have made who's Who. !"
The center of the peninsula Is given
over to modest but equally attractive
homes, small tourist hotels and the
business blocks.
The ocean here is of two colors.
Near the shore it has greenish tint,
but q few miles out it abruptly
changes to a deep Mediterranean
blue. That blue water is the gulf
stream, which flows close to shore
on some days and at other times is
out of sight.
Three long causeways cross Bis
cayne Bay and connect Miami Beach
with Miami. Attached to these
aquatic thoroughfares by bridges are
numerous oval-shaped, artificial
islands bejeweled with brilliantly coll
ored villas. Paralleling the County
Causeway Is the steamship channel,
where one can drive alongside ocean
steamers from far ports, whose decks

SUMMER RETURNS

Beautiful, Sun.Bathed Cities

Florida is veritable pleasure

State.
Florida is the State where Summer
spends the Winter and visitors from
the frost bitten North are enjoying
such hot-weather sports as ocean
swimming, deep-sea fishing, base ball,
tennis and golf. The wise visitor
nacks his straw hat and white Summer
clothing when headed South and while
the whole State has a warm, sunny
climate in Winter, it is only m the
southern half that the water is warm
enough for the average swimmer 10
bathe in. On the Atlantic Coast the
northernmost popular swimming re-
sort Is Palm Beach and west ram
Beach; on the Gulf shore one can
swim in comparative comfort from
Clearwater down.
The vacationer journeying SOUTH
ward will notice a gradual dunlnu-
tion in the evidences of Winter while
the climate becomes more Spring like
as he approaches Florida. The dead
grass and bare trees of Virginia will
be replaced by green vegetation and
fully-leafed trees in the deep South.
Northern Florida abounds in palmetto
trees, the short feather duster" type
of palms, while from st. Petersburg
and Palm Beach on south are many
tall royal and coconut palms. The
blooming poinsettias, oleanders. roses
and hibiscus will thrill the traveller
arriving in Southern Florida this
month.

Miami grew from a tiny, mosquito
