Good Evening.
THE OLD RED BARN EFT AL
sY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

How dear to the heart the Of childhood The horses, the and chickens down the farm; The hily winding road, the elderblow bushes And over the brow the friendly red barn. The rolling meadows, the trout brook, Black-eyed Susans and tiger lilies gay: The huckeberry bushes deep in the thicket, The men folks coming home with load of hay. And the milk cans that lined the buttery, The huge kitchen full of appetzng smells; Of new potatoes string beans, pies and cakes, In the evening the music of COW bells How dear heart the of ones childhood, The old red barn, meadow slopes so pretty; Don't you sometimes long to be perched stone wall Instead of at your desk in the city?

An address especially interest
ing to Key Westers was that de-
Iivered by Henry B. Haskins, As
sistant Superintendent of Light
houses in the Seventh District, at
the regular dinner of the Fellow
ship Club last night in the annex
building of the First Methodist
church.
Mr.. Haskins had a very COM
prehensive set Of apparatus mount
ed in view of the club members,
and illustrated his talk by actual
demonstration.
A short historical sketch which
went back to the first lighthouse
built at the mouth of the Oar
danelles introduced the actual first
hand discussion of lights and light
houtes.
A lighthouse is distinguished
from a light in that a keeper is
stationed in it, Mr. Haskins said.
The lighthouse keepers job in
the days of sailing vessels was very
tedious. but nowadays with mod
ern motor equipment and radio, il
Is quite a different life.
A type Of double-burner gas
light, which shuts on and off at
regular intervals, was exhibited
and explained. There are two lit
tie diamond-points Of flame Is
possible. Mr.. Haskins pointed cut,
was due TO the type of gas used.
The gas used in homes could new
er be turned so low.
An electrie-type, run on dry
cell batteries, was next shown,
Little electricity IS required 70
operate that type, because Of q
complex system of refraetion,
which strengthens the visibility Of
the flame.
Connected to the light Is a four
bulb setup, which, when one buih
burned. would automatically tnrr
to the next bulb. The bulbs be.

get in the game and when Secre-
tary S. C. Singleton produced

for South Sea Island craft,
everything was setting perfect.
Chairman MacMulIen called Q
melting of the committee at his
home last night, and in the cal

Rattas, water sports, and afford.
ing the young men of the city the
opportunity Of competing with the
sportsmen of the nation and to
bring to Key West the prestige
and glory which is its natural
heritage, due to its location in

given to the plan by the active as
sistanee Of Major MacMullen, and
Lieutenant Faigle. The Rotary

rected to prepare plans for tho
sensational sailing craft, while
the other members of the GROUP
make pleas for a strong, active
Cayo Hueso Yacht Club, which
win be the southernmost yacht
club in the United States.
Surrounded as Key West is by
the finest cruising and sailing
waters in the country. and fast
becoming the Mecca for tht
