Colonel, who was nothing loath
to satisfy her.
He told her of the gold rush,
of Spanish rancheroS and Fran

hoopskirtS and gay bonnets and
elegance!
OF the earthquake. too, he told
her, and of that April morning
just after Sun-up when the world
crashed about his ears. But even
then, there was a queer gaiety and
a vivid sense of living zeSUfully,
what with the refugee camps and
the levelling of class distinctions,
and the new camaraderie.
Never before had the Colonel
and Luana been SO close TO each
other. 1t was a heart warming
experience.
He even said to her one morn
ing, a look of wistfulness in the
blue eyes that used to be so sharp:
why don't you come home, Eiiz-
abeth?" He could never get used
to the name LuanaD Net to the

ficiency will be adopted at once.
 The mayor will exercise every bit of power given him under the char ter in making widespread changes, he said. Should he find that cer- tain changes are desirable, but that he cannot make them because of the charter provisions he will ask the State Legislature to amend the charter to give him the necessity powers.
 This is no idle gesture, asserted the mayor. This plan is going through, and it's going through as soon as possible. I plan to devote every available bit of my time to seeing what changes should be made, and then making them"
 Hits Like BOmbshelI
 Mayor Hayes announcement, made exclusively to The Democrat, will come as a bombshell to the en- tire community. There had been no indication whatever that any such a plan was in mind. However it was learned today that the mayor and several close adVlSerS have had the plan under consider ation for some time. It was report ed, but not confirmed, that the mayor already has prepared an out line of specific changes in several departments.
 Bureaus and departments which are found to be outmoded will be eliminated. Offices whose duties overlap will be merged into one. Other departments will be enlarged, where found advisable. It will be by far the greatest shake-up in the history of the city.
 Ends Patronage Claims
 The mayors plan will mean the end of claims that the Democrats were enabled to remain in power only through the heavy patronage they could dispense. It will mean the adoption of a stringent civil service system, probably more strin- gent than in any other city in the country. It will mean the end of any claims of politics in the ad- ministration of the affairs of the

AMELIA EARHART

San Francisco, Oct. 29.-(UP A new search for Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, who disappeared on flight across the South Pacific near .Howlal,d Island last July, will be started from here within five weeks, it was announced today by E. H. Dimity, friend of George Palmer Putnam, husband of the woman flyer.
 Dimity said he was not yet con- vinced that Miss Earhart and Noonv an perished.
 A large three masted schooner is being equipped in Seattle for the searhc, he said. The ship will carry a small Seaplane, power launches, small surface boats, short wave radio, and deep sea diving equipment. It is planned to cruise the entire South Eea area, with particular attention to group of Coral Islands west of Gilbert Island. Dimity said.

 So sweeping are the mayors plans that it will probably be some time before the public realizes to what lengths he plans to go in remodel ing the city government and insur- ing more efficiency. Step by step every department and office will be thoroughly combed. Flaws in pro- cedure will be remedied, incapable workers will be discharged, and stern requirements must be fol- lowed by employees retained or new ly hired.
 The mayors statement of his plans today is undoubtedly his most important utterance to the public since he first took office. It will create a storm of comment, that will grow in volume when the con- pletely drastic terms of the re-or- ganization plan are fully realized.

 When the reorganization process is completed, heads of all depart ments and offices will be given lists of requirements which they and their employees must fulfill. Failure to fulfill them means dismissal. The Personnel Director will regularly make inspection or every department and office, and will be empowered to recommend dismissals of workers.

To Hit City Boards

One of the principal features of the city government Reorganization will be in the various city boards and missions whose members appointed by the mayor. Many present board members will not be reappointed and most of their places will be given to and women who have not been active politically.
 The Mayors "streamlining" plan means virtual up heava present city Mayor Hayes made 1t today that political affiliations will have bearing city jobs Efficiency will be the prime factor It is probable that several important city posts will be given to persons who in the past have been politically opposed to the Mayor and his administration.

SOME OLD QUESTIONS

A writer in the Boston Transcript has
dug up list of old-time questions, show
ing the trend of inquiry in the Middle
Ages Here are few:
"Why did God not will that a man
should be hungry only once week? An
swer: Hunger is punishment for Adam S
SIM
What makes beasts mad? Answer
Looking at certain star on the 21st day
of the March moon.
'Why did Noah bring serpents into
the ark? Answer: In obedience to God,
who, having created them for his glory,
did not wish them destroyed
What language does deafmute UNI
derstand in his heart? Answer: Adams S,
therefore Hebrew. A child brought up
without being taught any language would
speak Hebrew spontaneously.
IF my parents had not existed, how
should have been born? Answer: The
number of living things are forseen from
all eternity, hence you would have been
born from other parents.
''When God made Adam, how old was
he? (No answer1.
"Will idiots be damned? mo an
swer)."
While the propounders of the ques-
tons appeared to claim an unusual insight
into the WORKINGS of the Almighty they
hesitated to venture answers to the last
two. We, too, would hesitate to answer
them, although we have heard people. re-
fer to that kind of idiots. 60 -

HANDS ACROSS THE HIGHWAY!

The announcement by Paul H. Marks
in a radio address Wednesday night, that
the upper portion of the Overseas Road
and Bridge project will be ready for travel
December Is, was heard locally with much
citation.
We in Key West have worked long
will be the first fruit of our endeavors.
Key West is not alone in her delight. Flor
ida has been eagerly watching for the
news. The country is interested in it.
An instance of the growing interest is
the leading editorial carried by the Mi
ami Tribune" yesterday morning.
Not only were many features of the
bridges pointed out, but The Tribune also
made the following plea to- Miamians:
with the end of the job in sight, Mi
ami must join hands with Key West in
making the most of the new road. We
must impress upon our tourists that their
trip would be incomplete without a visit
to the picturesque Monroe county seat
There is so much to see in Key West, such
as the turtle crawls, the naval station and
the old city with its weather-beaten houses
overgrown with a riot Of tropicaloof flora.
Key West will appreciate sueh9i co-opera-
ton and Miami has everything to and
nothing to lose through clenGing "a helping
hand to an ever-friendly. municipal neigh
bor." ~-,,.
Thanksl And may there always be
hands across the Overseas Highway!

WHO DRIBEs THE SCHOOL BUSY

Nearly every year the people of this
country read the narrowing details of the
death of school children, killed when a
railroad engine smashes into bus.
The latest recorded tragedy occurred
in Mason City, Iowa. when a streamlined
train, not going so very fast" hit bus
in the middle, killing nine persons in
stantly and seriously injuring others
The drivers of school vehicles. as a
general rule, are careful. 1t seems certain,
however that sometimes some OF them take
fearful chances and inevitably, tragedy re-
suits. The safety of pupils, who ride in a
school bus, is in the keeping of the driver
of the vehicle Their lives can be safe
only so long as the driver refuses to take
any chances"
School authorities in this country, up
on reading of such terrible fatalities,
should make il their business to eheck-up
on the driving habits of all drivers entrust-
ed with pupils Highway patrolmen and
other officers should make it their con-
Germ TO know that the driver of any school
bus is safe driver The major respon-
sihility. however rests upon school apthori-
ties who hire drivers they should meet
that responsibility and. If necessary, get
other drivers.
