Figures on other glaciers won't
be available till November.
Scientists agree that if glaciers
continue to grow at a rapid rate
for number of years, it will be
one indication of longtime
trend toward an ice age. But as
yet no one is sure whether the
world is heading into new ice
age or still receding from the
last one.
The United States knows how
much its glaciers grow each year
because national park rangers
measure them.
In 1882 they painted a white
"X" on a rock 30 feet, eight
inches, from Tyndall's "snout". or
front, as a marker. Now each
year they measure the distance
from the x to the nearest por-
tion of the ice. Last year the ice
was 20l feet away from the
mark; this year only 81 feet four
inches.

After shrinking steadily for five

FLAMINGOES RETURN
TO FL ORIDA KEYS

The Beautiful and grace
full pink flamingo is coming
back to the Keys!
So says Edward NJ. Moore,
conservation as> a.. 4U4 the
Audubon Society along the
lower Keys. Four. of them
have been seen on Boca Chica
recently. According TO re-
cent advice however. one has
been killed and the other has
been seen with a k-oken
wing probably caused by a
shot.
The incoming flamingoes
which are rarely seen in
Florida other than in the
Cape Sable region and along
the Keys have not nestled
along the lower Keys in re-
cent years. In Old Key
West days. there is a report
of circumstantial evidence
that many red herons" were
seen sitting on stumps. The
birds nest on clay mounds
resembling stumps. and il is
thought likely that once the
flamingo nested on Florida's
keys. w. w. Demeritt.
Supt. of Lighthouses reports
that two of the birds have
been seen on Rest Beach.
Along with the Great
White Herons and the pink
Spoonbills the flamingos are
the really picturesque birds
of the Keys. One tourist has
written Mr.. Moore that he
will travel over a 1000 miles
just TO be in the land of
flamingoes.

Plans For Fertilizer Plant
Now Practically Complete
Officials Of Representa-
tive Trading Corporation
Make Report Relative To
Proposition

Messrs. NJ. M. Schulsinger,
president; j. Drittel, treasurer,
and Irving Schwartz, attorney
for the Representative Trading
Corporation, who returned to
Key West recently to further
their plans for the establishment
of a fertilizer manufacturing
plant on the Florida Keys, report
that every plan is practically
ready at the present time.
The plan of the company to
bring this worthwhile industry to
the Keys was initiated several
months ago, and since that time
various surveys, both engineering
and statistical, have been made
in connection with the enterprise.
The Representative Corporation,
through Mr.. Schwartz, in an in
terviw with The Citizen Satur-
day, gave the assurance that the
complete realization of its plans
may be looked forward to with
certainty in the very near flu
ture.
The benefits of this industry
will be far reaching in scope,
said Mr.. Schwartz. 1t will pro-
vide employment for a number of
people of the city and county, and
will be a benefit to the COM
munity as a whole.
Mr.. Schwartz said it was sur
prising to find so many citizens
who had done everything posi-
bic toward the proposition, so
many men without whose. coop
Grafton it would not have been
possible to have perfected the
plana for the plant.
Both Mr.. Schwartz and Mr..
Schulsinger desire to take the OPP
portunity OF extending thanks to
all of those citizens who took part
actively, or otherwise, in well
coming those project to the local
ity and compliment them on their
foresightedness and acumen. Is
pecial appreciation is extended to
Fred Dion, Mayor Willard Al
bury, S. c. Singleton, j. Otto
Kirchheiner and Frank II. Laid
for their tireless efforts and in
valuable assistance.
Mr. Drittel, who is identified
with the Representative Trading
Corporation and represents large
financial interests in New York,
on this. his first visit to Key
West, expressed his confidence
that the community will one day
assume its rightful position
among the leading factors in the
world of progress.
Commenting upon the estab-
lishment of the fertilizer plant,
Mr. Drittel expressed the opinion
that this will be another stepping
stone in the life of the city, lead
ing to greater progress and "se-
curitys for its people,.
Mr.. Drittel is enthusiastic about
the highway and considers it a
remarkable achievement of which
Key West and Monroe county
may feel justly proud. Mr.. Dirt
tel said in conclusion, There
should be nothing now to stand
in the way of complete prosper
ity for Key West.
