VOCATION and
SERVICE TOPIC
AT ROTARY CLUB
GAS COMPANY HEAD GAVE
SALIENT FACTS CONCERN.
ING GAS BUSINESS; NAVY
OFFICERS GUESTS

Position of the huge gas in
dustry in the industrial, CONNER
cial and household life of Amer
lea was outlined briefly in talk
delivered yesterday before mem
bers of the Rotary Club of Key
West by A. E. Peirce, head of the
Key West Gas Company.
Mr.. Peirce's address was given
in connections with the vocational
service activity of the Rotary
Club. Mr.. Pelrce is member
of the vocational service COM
mittee and was asked to detail
some of the facts relating to the
five billion dollar gas industry.
Among the facts he developed
were that 1900 gas companies
supply more than 5000 Ameri-
can cities, towns and villages,
with total population of ap-
proximately 80,000,0O0; that the
industry gives employment to
1875, 400 persons receiving an
average of $1575 annually, or a
grand total OF $213,819,OOO; that
every employe in the industry
represents capital investment
behind him of $37,
Mr.. Peirce then detailed how
the so-called carbureated water
gas, the type produced and sold
IN Key West, is produced. This
gas develops through skillfully
passing steam through mean
descent hot coke and adding oil
gas to enrich or carburet the
water gas thus produced.
The speaker also stressed the
service to consumers provided
by gas companies, tests in lab
oratories, all appliances approved
by the association of gas corsar
panies providing for expert serv-
ice in the proper use of gas for
all manufacturing and household
purposes.
Before this talk, which Presi-
dent William v. Little described
as Illuminating and informative,
the meeting was enlivened by
songs by Howard Overlin, recent
ly married. Drink to Me Only
With Thine Eyes" was the hit of
the offerings.
Members of the club referred
to the board of directors the re-
quest of the Key West Hotel and
Tourist Homes Association for
cooperation in advertising the
South Beach facilities recently
enhanced by the organization.
The hotel group asked the Ro-
tary Club to contribute $40 to-
ward a $50 advertising fund.
Among the guests at the meet
ing were Lieut.. Comdr. T. j.
Brady. Gee. United States
Navy, public works officer, and
Lieut. Cmdr. Ray Byrns, supply,
disbursing and accounting Off
Ger, at Key West naval station.
They indicated their willingness
in connection with their official
activities to help Key West in
every possible way.

New Booklet OFF Press
WELL PUBLICIzED

There is nothing tawdry nor
cheap about a booklet just off
the presses of the st. Augustine
Record Company and issued by
the Florida East Coast Hotel
Company, Flagler System, fea-
turing its famous hotels along the
Florida East Coast. Beautifully
printed in colors, it is titled ''The
Pioneers" and there is fine pic
ture of Henry M. F1agler, pioneer
builder of the Florida East Coast
Hotels and Railway. The range
of superb hotels extends from
ST. Augustine to the Island of
Key West, not the least of these
being the Casa Marina, farthest
south of the system. The booklet
has four beautiful illustrations
of this charming hosiery, with
this information:
Key West, situated on a
small island over one hundred
miles from the Florida main
land and surrounded by the sea
on all sides. On the south shore
of this island the Casa Marina
offers those high standards of
resort accommodations and serv-
ice that are a distinction of all
Flagler System establishments.
"The hotel and many of its
guest roms command a glorious
view of the sea. A clean white
beach borders its palm shaded
lawns.
"The waters around Key West
and adjacent Keys afford the
finest grounds in the United
States, which annually attract
noted sportsmen. Majestic sail
fish, the savage barracuda, the
silver tarpon, marlin, dolphin,
tuna, bonita, groupers and other
varieties constantly challenge the
anglers skill. Boats and expert
enced guides are available at the
Casa Marina docks.
I'm addition to the thrills of
big game fishing, guests at the
Casa Marina enjoy excellent ten
mis- courts and putting green's.
The city is now readily accessible
by motor across the marvellous
Overseas Highway.

Councilman Ramsey, in refer
ence to policing. stated that he
wanted to build a positive feel
ing of Flaw and order" being rep
resented in the police department
by the public-at-large, and in
that connection he informed
Mayor Albury that the council
wanted a written report on police
beats now traversed. Previous
ly, the mayor had reported orally
on the matter.
This subject came up when a
means was sought to stop illegal
dumping of garbage on property
off of White street near the
beach.
Report In Writing
In another instance, Mayor AL
bury and the Police Chief were
asked to report in writing upon
the investigation of the saloon
across from Guy Cartoons i'm
provements at Olivia street and
Windsor Lane. Oral reports had
stated that no excessive noise
was evident at the "place in
question. 1t was understood
that council action in the matter
of revocation of license would
come up at the next meeting.
Again - Councilman Ramsey
scored not only the mayor but
past council action in allowing a
condition of paying a salary
check to other than the man
designated as on the payrolls.
This was in connection with the
operation of the city garbage
boat, the Greyhound. 1t appear
ed that Mr.. Caraballo has been
receiving salary checks made out
to Charles Sands, who had not
been in the city for over a year.
The request to change the salary
name designation brought the
question of past procedure into
limelight.
The sanitary officer was also
requested to make regular re-
ports to the council. s

aquarium, j. j. Romero, was

balance to the account on city
books at the end of next season.

FABRICS FOR SUMMER.

All trends point to a revival in cot
tons for the 1899 summer Most fam
iliar are the muslins, batistes, organizes,
dotted swisses, voiles, piques and cotton
laceS.
White cottons that retain the crisp,
fresh look when washed are associated
with the "little girl' styles. Colors in
wash fabrics for 1899 include cyclamen
shades, fuchia, violet, chartreuse, yellow
and rose with pink and pastels.
The fine vale pique is particularly
fashionable. Combine crisp white pique
jackets with dark dotted swiss dresses.
Dotted swiss in white and colors is
adaptable to formal dress as well as to
blouses and better daytime fashions.
Sheer fabrics with permanent crinkle
are interesting. The new cloque organdy
has a crinkled, tisSue-like texture and
IS seen in delicate patterns and colors.
Similar, but sturdier, are the cotton
pliSSes. More cotton voileS are pro-
ceSSed for crease-resistance so that they
nave slight criSpnesS which makes for
greater ease in handling and more at
tractive appearance.
The batiStes are usually found in eye
lets. Tissue Bingham, Bingham checks,
and Scotch plaids are also included in
the seasons offering.
Two types Of cotton laces are being
shown, the sheer, filmy laces and
heavier laceS that look more like fabrics

BIGGER AND BETTER EGGS.

Summer time is profitable time for
flock owners-if the flock is kept laying
and if they are good big clean shelled
eggs. Spring rains may spoil some
otherwise Number One eggs if the hens
are allowed to run out in the puddles
and come back to plaster mud on any
eggs that may be in the nest. The
three to five cents a dozen more that
clean eggs will bring pays well for the
care necessary to produce them clean.
The simplest way around this diff
Guilty is to keep the chicken house door
closed at least until noon each day when
you go out to gather the eggs. BY that
time the bulk of the eggs will have been
laid, and the few soiled ones that ap-
pear later can be used at home. Nor is
this just a rainy day recommendatio
Hens confined to their house until
bigger ones because they eat more mash.
The extra eggs alone will pay for the
extra feed and the profit comes from
the higher grading the eggs will receive.
Some will consider this cruelty to
animals, but others who have tried it
successfully know that chickens may be
even happier in the house than out,
particularly during the hot weather. If
there is a straw loft the straw should
by no means be removed for the sum-
mer. 1t furnishes ideal insulation
against the heat of the sun. Packing
the walls with insulating material will
contribute toward making the poultry
house the coolest place on the farm, and
a place where the hens will prefer to
stay. You benefit from it in bigger and
better eggs.

BOND ISSUE

on a spending spree, cast their votes
against the issue.
City Attorney Thomas j. Carey had
explained the subject thoroughly and
evidently to the satisfaction of the ma
jority when he said that the debt
was not cancelled by the bond issue,
only transferred on more liquid basis
with ultimate retirement in 20 years.
The limit of indebtedness fixed by the
charter is $267,347. With payments to
be made in the next ten years this
limit would not be reached.
There is no doubt that this city will
be supplied with cash basis bill within
a few years and thus a full stop put on
spending more than the assessed valu-
alton warrants. Had the issue not car
ried on Friday, with the mineral valu-
ations decreasing yearly in the course
of natural events, it is sad to con-
template what the smaller taxpayer
would needs "dig up" the most of
which would go for interest and the
debt remain indefinitely Nothing
could be salvaged out of the yearly
budget to pay indebtedness.

u. S. Officials Scan Current
Projects in Superior Forest

Prairie Portage. A forest service boat
took them down through Newfound and
Moose lakes to Hibbard's lodge, where
they were met by Ely cars.
Considerable Importance has been at
tached to their visit to Prairie Portage
by local people in view of the fact that
the international Joint commission has
scheduled hearing in Duluth, June
Is, on the proposed dam for the site.
Forestry officials, however, emphasized
that the trip to Ely was on the schedule
and was not being made especially to
view the dam.
The problems involved in the build
ing of this particular dam are potent
ones, it has been pointed out to the
Miner, because it will be the only one
of its kind in the entire area. Weak
ened by age, many other dams con-
structed years ago by logging companies
in this territory will eventually have to
be repaired or a a new one put in, so it
is felt that the Prairie Portage project
may set precedent for future opera
tionS.
The problem of constructing this
dam so that it will fit into the wilder
ness picture and not appear to be
"man-made" is one that is being dis
cused to great length by many con-
servationiStS.

A group of U. S. Forestry officials
from washington, D. c., Milwaukee and
Duluth, made tour OF recreational
spots near Ely, Sunday, under the
guidance of Ranger Frank Legat of the
Kawishiwi district and Sigurd F. Olson.
Their visit here was a part of an ex-
tensive trip being made through the
Superior National Forest.
The Prairie Portage dam, the pro-
posed campSite at the end of the new
road being constructed into Moose lake,
and the FenSke lake camp grounds on
the Echo Trail were among the spots
visited. The new camping site under
construction at Halfway was also in
spected.
Making the trip were Glare Hendee,
Duluth, newly appointed supervisor OF
the Superior National forest; John
SEEKER, washington, assistant to the
recreational director of forest areas;
Byron L. Groesbeck and Ray E. Bassett,
recreational workers stationed at the

MY COAT MADE 1T!
81 am afraid to make a coat"

ST am afraid to make coat"
So many people who sew make this
comment. Even though they may make
dresses, skirts, blouSes, or any article
of underwear beautifully-they are
afraid to make coat. The fabric Is
too expensive, or there are those tail
ored details, such as the collar lapelS,
the bound button-hole set-in pockets,
or the lining for the entire garment.
True, making coat is more difficult
than making a dress, but a coat is a
large item in the clothing budget, and
it can be made at home at quite a saw
ing. Why not start summer coat?
Get some material that doesn't need
lining and pattern that bespeaks
simplicity in every detail. Then make
the summer wrap that is just the thing
for cool evenings. From such a start
you may find yourself assembling yard
age, patterns, and accessories necessary
to make a winter coat you are wanting,
and then what pride you may have in
saying, my coat made it!''

FINISHES FOR FLOORS.

Have you new floors to finish or old
ones to refinish this spring? Here is
what the Forest Products Laboratory of
the U. S. d. A. has to say about
finishes:
There is a growing trend back to the
old oil finish for floors, except that in
place of linseed oil, specially designed
products known as floor seals are being
used. It requires less labor to apply
them than to put hnseed Oil in the old
way and rub it in by hand. Floor seals
may be regarded as thin varnishes made
TO penetrate less deeply into the wood
than the Embodied drying oils and they
are relatively new products on the
market. 1t is very important that
people using seals for the first time take
pains to learn exactly how these pro-
ducts should be used"
