The report was submitted 10
the Secretary of the Navy last
week by Rear Admiral Hepburn,
who, with a committee of naval
officials. had worked on a survey
of national defense needs tor
some months.
II is known that Miami and
Jacksonville have both attempted

naval committee.

At the bequest OF Sena,or

saio tocay that while the senator
represented every section of

officially asked the admiral's
group TO go TO Key West.
There are two theories about
Key Vests possibilities in con-
nection with national defense
needs. One holds that in case OF
war, the Army and Navy both
would abandon the extreme end
of the Florida peninsula and con-
centrate on protecting the near
shore of the country. This theory
with the belief thai
Key West Is situated in a com.

On the other hand, persons
who believe that Key West will
be selected as the location OF an

town IS ideally situated on the
first line Of defense.

sight Of Felix walking briSkly to and
from the railroad station. Sometimes
some one would ask him to do an
errand in LongvieW and he'd always
oblige. Frequently he would deliver
choice bits of news to friends and
acquaintances. Booth, Gill & Dyer had
for their clients two large steam
ship lines, and Felix could tell when
boats arrived in port, or when they
were delayed by storms and when
important personages were arriving
from abroad. He could also tell you
how cold it was at stations along the
way. information which he gathered
from fellow commuters. There. were
hundred and one things that Felix
could and did do that achieved for
him certain recognition.
After he retired, Felix ceased to be
a figure. He wasn't an especially
imaginative person, nor were his
neighbors. The neighbors knew un-
consciously that Felix was no longer
different from any of them. Felix
knew it, too. 1t troubled him. 1t
hurt. 1t made him lonesome. 1t
made him wonder. 1t threatened to
develop in him an inferority complex
Felix tried hard to find pleasure in
his retirement. He planted garden
and bought some chickens and occu-
pied his time as much as he could
But it was physical occupation and
this gave him plenty of opportunity
to think Eventually his thinking
changed to brooding and the brooding
nourished the growing inferiority
complex.
Felix's wife noticed the change She
tried to talk to him, to learn the
source of his moodiness. But Felix
couldn't explain it. He felt a little
ashamed, and didn't want to talk.
PRESENTLY Felix thought he had
hit upon the reason for his I'M
happiness. He decided it was because
he had worked for 80 years and
hadn't accomplished anything. He
was like thousands of others. He
had made no impression on society
He was merely a cog in a wheel
He wasn't important His coming
and going had not made a ripple.
Things were running smoothly
without him. Perhaps better. He

esSary to the people who had en-
ployed him. There was only one an
swer to it. He was failure. An ut
ter and complete failure. The thought
tormented him.
Another month passed and Felix's
wife began to think he was a case for
the family doctor. Then one day
letter arrived from Booth, Gill g.
Dyer. They wanted to know if Felix
would consider coming in for few
days to assist in Strengthening out
some matters about which they con-
sidered him an expert. They hated to
ask him to do this, but it was a
highly-speciallzed piece of work and
they knew they could depend upon
Felix
The idea" Felix's wife exclaimed.
Don't they know-but, of course, they
don't-Ill write Immediately and tell
them"
You'll do no such thing!" Felix
exclaimed, eyes cleaning I'm CATCH
ing the TAB in the morning."
THE job lasted three weeks. During
that time Felix became a figure
once more. People became used to
him going back and forth to the
train. Unconsciously they fell into
the old routine of asking him to do
errands and demanding choice bits of
news. Felix was happy again. He
beamed. He was important.
On the day that Felix finished up
the special work, Mr.. Gill approached
him

Health May Suffer
After 40 Because of
Slolver Digestion

IT is COMMON for diges-
! tive action to slow down
around 40. At this age, the
gastric juices in the stom-
ach have a tendency to be-
come weaker, less plentiful.
To help these juices to flow
more freely and powerfully,
eat Fleischmann's Yeast.
The tonic action of this fresh
food on digestion is due to
themillions oftiny, live yeast
plants each cake contains.
Also, by adding this food
to your daily diet, you make
sure of getting a good sup
ply of 4 important vitamins:
the Nerve Vitamin, the Bone
Vitamin, the Cold-Resist-
ance Vitamin and the Vi
tality Vitanin. Their names
show how valuable each one
of these vitamins is to your
health.
You'll soon learn to like
the fresh, malty taste Of
Fleischmann's Yeast. Eat 8
cakes every day-1 cake y
hour before each meal. Do
ing this allows time for the
extra flow Of digestive juices
tobeprepared before you eat.
