SCIENTIFIC ROADS PREVENT
ACCIDENTS

- p
The road builder has the largest share
in the job of making the. ration,s niptof
traffic safe. said Harsad Hammond. of the
National Conservation bureau in aereceht
address - &c. 81 ..asss.a - :
- He pointed out that IN the golden era
of road building that followed 1926. the
highways that emerged were regarded as
masterpieces of the builders art and
science. DiSillusion came fast. No sooner
had the pavement hardened. than these
roads became scenes of death and destrue-
ton on an unprecedented scale. and of
maddening congestion as traffic density
grew and movement slowed,
The modern. safe road IS very differ
ent from the old highways. Mr. Hammond
defines it in these words: More roads
mean more arteries on which to move Deo-
pie and Foods efficiently. Better roads
mean roads thass VIII perform this basic
job of transportation With less waste and
.lesxsh4kard than anything We have known
IN the past In the iassulsag OF the.rs9ar in
the stfees. we want sssads that axil give
more miieil6efi0t sosrs thoney. isF terms Of
operating and maintenance cost and we
want roads that to the greatest possible de-
gree win discount or eliminate the human
factor as a cause of accidents
Such roads have been built-and they
work. They make il impossible for the
driver to get out u his proper lane: there
IS no cross traffic: intersections are eli
minated. Cars moving IN opposed direc-
tiens came meet Here. in better roads.
I lie indlis sable step toward the logical
solution o tie traffic accident program.

LONGS FURNITURE STORE

The character and disposition Of
a person can easily be judged by
the way his or her home IS flIr-
nished. If the home is lastly fur
nished in both style and arrange
ment of furniture then that per-
son can usually be termed discri-
minating and fastidious. Furni-
ture is something one has to live
with, it deserves to command
ones admiration and respect. In
Key West, Longs Furniture Store,
300 Fleming Street, has a most
complete stock of furniture for
the modest as well as the most
pretentious homes
1t has more display space than
any other furniture store in the
South and is the only furniture
store south of Washington that
has at least one set of everything
made by Simmons. The business
was founded as the Key West
! Furniture Co, by the late o s
Long in 1909 and was located at
70I DuVal Street. In 1921, Longs
Fufniture Store was opened al
this location, and for some time
Mr.. Long. operated the tNo stores,
finally combining the two stores
into the present store. Since Mr..

ated the store. Find outflow

THE NEED FOR SHIPS

Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy of the
Maritime Commission is of the opinion
that American ship lines must have sub
sides of around So, 10000 year If they
are to survive. High building and operat-
ing costs, as compared with those of other
countries, are the reasons given. for the
necessity fpr. governmental support of the
merchant marine. st7a7sa f5 s@7s IL.

This year. the world viii pay something
like three billion dollars for American
goods. To maintain that commerce and
assure its increase in competitive world,
Mr.. Kennedy wants American ships mod

maintain twenty-three world trade routes.

chant marine in times of peace are to be

Another argumssaSst 4 for ~ the const9ue-
ton and maintenance OF merchant marine
rests upon the emergencies caused by war.
In 1914, American trade suffered severe
losses when warning nations withdrew
their ships from commercial routes. Today,
our ships carry about one-third of our ex-
ports, and, in the event of a war, our for
eign commerce would inevitably suffer. In
addition, if this country itself engages in
war. it viii need troop and supply ships
which cannot be built overnight

ships. The sudden end of the war left lis
with about 1000 ships, at cost OF chose
to three billion dollars. After .-the.a war
needs were met and our soldiers we're.
home, an effort was made to use the ships.
in ordinary trade but in the first year the
experience cost fifty million dollars. There
upon. the ships were sold at great loss to
private operators who received subsidies
to carry mail or build new ships This eff
fort resulted in major scandal and little
practical accomplishments in so far as the
permanent establishment of merchant
marine.
