NO DouBLE.DEcK ON OCEAN HIGHWAY
Stanford Herald)

Seems to US that in some part Of this paper
some time ago the people were advised that GER
tain spans Of bridge on the new overseas highway
between Miami and Key West were doubled
decked IN a talk the other day with C. H.
Smith. who IS with the state vehicle commission
and stationed at Miami he stated that he had
been over the road twice and that no part Of it is
double-dec<ed.
Mr.. Smith said. however. that the original
plans called for two decks. on stretches where the
trestle was narrow and did not seem to have room
for two way road. but these plans were changed.
All Of the highway is twenty feet wide He says
there is nothing scary about travelling the high
way over the SEA. although al one point the road
is sixty-five feet above the water There are sub
s.antial curbS and rails at the edge. 80 il IS inn

JAMES ROOSEVELT BORN LUCKY


This editorial, from the Yonkers en-
W Herald Statesman, is reproduced with
out comment:
News dispatches from Boston tell of WPA
appropriation of 900 to straighten out bend
in road in birmingham suburb. That the job,
when completed, will add 900 more feet of lawn
to adjoining property, approximately 100 feet
wide along the entire front of the present road
side. and will permie screening of the house from
the highway by trees merely points to the far
sighted vision Of the owner in his recent pur-
chase
And that the owner is none other than Crown
Prince James Roosevelt, not without influence in
Washington bureaus, is purely coincidental. Some
folks are merely lucky. including the son,a.of ia
President who can earn $4,000 a year Arough
absentee partnership in Boston insurance office
while serving fun time, as required by the law, III
the White House seeretariat ef Z.
But wouldn't it be nice if that luck could
come to ordinary folks too?"

The city should bore for water
at its own expense This is the
decision reached by city council
last night after a long meeting
during which the proposition
made by the Key West Water
Company headed by Malcolm
Meacham was discussed from
every angle. At this meeting
council voted unanimously for
resolution calling for an appro-
priation of 100000 of public inn
provement bonds to be used in
drilling for water on the city's
behalf. The city attorney was
authorized to engage the services
of a bond attorney to pass on the
legality of the proposed issue.
There were rs or more citizens
present and they were very inter-
ested in the proceedings. The
.consessus of opinion is that to get
fresh water here as soon as pos
sible is very essential Practical
ly every person who was present
expressed the thought what with
out the presence of fresh water
the city cannot get very far.
Among those giving short talks
were Sam Brown, B. ID. Trevor,
Sam Hart, Paul Boyson, Walter
Thompson, Robert w. Austin,
Cornelius N. Peterson, Charles
White and Lykes Turner. &

WHDLIFE IN THE KEYS

Roseate Spoonbill

&t9SG81G 6S0OAARAAA
Local names: Pink, Pink Cur
lew, Pink Bird.
l shall never forget my first
Spoonbill. II was one of those
gray, still days that sometimes
come to the Carolina Tidewater
in early fall, when all the world
recedes and becomes infinitely
remote, and even nearby objects
become one with the misty dis
lance. Cruising slowly along in
a world of limitless salt marsh
and tidal creeks, my thoughts
were, perhaps, also removed from
my surroundings, SO that / looked
idly enough at flock of Wood
Ibis standing motionless on flat
which bordered the waterway
These were no rarity, and was
turning away when my eye was
caught by something which,
somehow, for moment, failed to
register. A splash of pure rose,
glowing softly against the drab
background, took on the SEM
blance of some fabulous jewel,
and I do not know how long l
may have stared before / realized
that / was looking at bird, a
Spoonbili. How he came to be
there, so many hundred miles
from his present range, I do not
know, unless some vague urge
prompted him to visit land
which his ancestors once claimed
as their own. At any rate he had
wandered far afield, and now,
lonely and with little chance of
meeting one of his own kind, he
was driven for companionship to
birds of an alien species.
Fashion Is Enemy
The history of the Spoonbill is
much the same as that of many
of our most beautiful species.
When the first settlers came to
this continent the Spoonbill rang
ed throughout the South Atlantic
and Gulf States, and, occasional
", wanderer may have drifted
as far north as Pennsylvania.
Many were killed for food with
out a doubt, but the real enemy
of this beautiful species was
Fashion,. Mi1ady found that
Spoonbili feather made most gor-
geous ornamental fans. and so,
many thousands of wings, meant
to ride the winds of the world,
were stripped of their rose hued
dress in order that madame might
crafty her vanity with another
beautiful toy.
I Those days are gone, but we
still have the killer who sees
beauty only in dead things. This
type is an everapresent problem
yet to be dealt with by those who
believe that the Creator of all
things gave US the lovely things
of this world to treasure and
learn from, in order that we may
the more easily attain to that

Former Dean To
Leave Hospital
Fasting Prelate May Visit
Mother in N. {.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. A.
(UP)-The Rev. Israel Fl. Noe
last night planned within a few
days to leave Baptist hospital
where he has been recupcratlng
since his three weeks fast with
out food or water ended in his
collapse.
Physicians reported the suS-
pended dean Of the Cathedral OF
St. Mary was greatly strengthen
ed and was eating prescribed hos
pital meals, including meats and
vegetables. Noe, whose weight
dropped to 100 pounds at the end
of his fast, now weighs 1872.
Although hospital attendants
said Noe still insisted he would
resume his fast when he is reIeas-
ed from the hospital, friends be-
lieved he would not return to his
plan to live entirely by spiritual
strength.
1t was believed Noe might go
to Florida later this month for a
vacation or to his mothers home
in North Carolina.
There was no indication from
Bishop James MaXon, of the EpiS-
copal diocese of Tennessee,
whether he planned to return Noe
to some position in the church,
Noe was removed as dean of St
Mary's cathedral on Bishop Max
On'S order.

when Hayes, former Illinois miner
and Lewis predecessor as mine
union president, advanced the
Committee for Industrial Organ

"Somc day" Hayes said, "we
may have one of our members IN

a candidate-such u man. | don't
know whether he wants to run or
not-but we have a competent
man to fill the position in John

Lewis sat near the ColOradan,
apparently unmovcd by the dem
onstration and, as the miners sat
down, still applauding, Hayes con-
tinucd:
81 wish this was a national con-
vcntion of the Democratic party.
There wouldn't be any question
about the nomination.
The convention adjourned few
