REPAss THE zoNING LAW!

Quite volume of residential con-
struction is waiting to get under way in
Key West. The principal cause of the de-
lay in having this important work done is
the lack CT zoning ordinance. 1t may
come as surprise to some of our citizens
to learn that there is no legal coming ordi-
nance in effect here. Such is the case.
As The Citizen recalls the facts here
is the situation: City council year or so
ago did pass coming ordinance after the
mayor had appointed zoning board. The
legality of the ordinance was questioned
because the state legislature had not au-
thorized such an ordinance Representa-
tive Bernie c. Papy interested himself in
the matter The coming regulations were
studied and revised and framed in legis-
lative act This act was passed and is not
in effect. The passage of the act meant
that the city would again have to pass the
coming ordinance to make it legal and
binding document.
Asked why the ordinance had not
been re-passed, members of the city coun-
Gil SalQ CHey W0ulu no 50 DIS SOoH do Tile
city administration named zoning board.
new board seemingly was demanded.
The members of the old board made no OBJ
lection to this, being merely concerned
with setting up proper coming regulations
for the city. list of names of men willing
to serve on such board was submitted.
This was reported to have been done some
weeks ago. The new board has not been
appointed, the zoning ordinance has not
been repassed.
The Importance of such an ordinance
is obvious to everyone. Few builders want
to put up fine homes unless they are pro-
tected against depreciation of their invest
ment by nearby Objectionable structures
that may be erected in the future. Present
buildings are not affected by the proposed
ordinance. 1t is reported to The Citizen
that one prospective resident is going
ahead with construction of her new home
the minute the zoning ordinance becomes
effective. Why delay any longer the ap-
pointment of new zoning board and
passage of new coming ordinance? The
city stands to gain nothing by further de-
lay 1t stands to lose. Let's settle this mat
ter the right way Immediately.

NEW AUTO SPEED RECORD

On the Bonneville Salt Flats, in the
state of Utah, John Cobb, a British busi-
ness man, set new speed record for auto
mobiles by driving a 1900 horsepower
machine 1865 miles per hour.
This is more than six miles a minute,
and better than mile in ten seconds. 1t
is interesting and perhaps of some tech
meal value but Of little value otherwise.
When men wish to travel at six miles
a minute in the future they will be flying
overhead. The airplane will some day
make such speeds without super-engines,
equipped with a seat for the driver
This speed record illustrates the de-
velopment of the automobile. There are
many readers of this newspaper who can
remember when "dare-devils,' without re-
gard for life or limb, won auto races by
making mile minute. This speed, now
adays, is schoolboy stuff.

THE LOWDOWN

Our Universities, they pour out
graduates galore. And the gradu-
ates in Engineering, and Science,
the world is waiting for them.
But the graduates in Economics,
and Arts. and Letters, etc, lots
of 'em will go to work at the same
job they could have had when
they finished high school.
AT the end of high school there
should be one year before Uni
versity, devoted to intensive Man
ual Training for the boys, and i'm
tensive Domestic Science for the
girls. And most of 'em, in that
time, viii get their feet on terra
firma.
And the ones who then go on
to the University, they will be
better prepared; and the other,
they will discover their life's
work in this one years breathing
spell.

ABOUT ACCIDENTS

The newspapers recently told of sew
eral accidents in which number of lives
were lost.
There was train wreck in the West,
which killed %, an airplane disaster in
Brazil, which killed Ia and other mis-
haps that caused sudden death to men and
women.
The reaction of the reader was to
marvel at this sudden exhibition of COM
bined fatalities, with the idea that strange
fate was at work. Well, the accidents
were spectacular but otherwise, not much
in the grand total of those who die each
year by accident.
Nearly one hundred persons are killed
every day on the highways but these fatal
crashes are no longer newsi Nearly another
hundred individuals go to their Maker
through other types of accidents every day
but most of them do not get into print, ex-
cept in local newspapers.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today AS Taken
From The Files Of The Citizen

All arrangements for the big
Labor Day parade and celebra
ton were completed at the meet
ing of the American Legion held
last night in the Athletic Club.
According to the program as out
lined the day will be well taken
up with clean and interesting
sports. Festivities will start with
big parade. A. H. Sheppard
will be grand marshal of the pa
rade. which will form in front of
the post office and get underway
at 10 o'clock. Quite a number of
organizations have agreed to en-
ter floats. Stirring martial music
will be furnished by the combin-
ed drum and bugle corps of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle and
the American Legion and by the
drum corps of Boy Scout Troop
/. ALI organizations and floats
are requested to be in line at $50
o'clock in front of the post Of
flee.
It is considered that Key West,
in all probability, will be repre-
sented by three prominent citizens
at the Annual Convention of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways As
ISOLATION in New York on October
1920. Some of the sessions are
to be held on board the Steam
ship Berkshire, enroute up the
Hudson River to Albany. E. G..
Sewell, of Miami, vice president
of the association, is asking for
three or more members of the
delegations from each Florida
East Coast city and has asked
the local Chamber of Commerce
to name three from Key West.
County Commissioner Norberg
Thompson is now in New York.
City Attorney j. Lancelot Les
ter and Robert Austin are ex-
pected to arrive there about the
time the convention will open. It
is believed that arrangements
can be completed for these three
citizens to remain there for the
convention.
Troop / Boy Scouts will meet
in front of Trevor and Morris
garage Monday morning at $50
O'Clock for the purpose of taking
part in the parade, which is to
be held Labor Day.
Suggestion that an annual date
for the Conch Arbor Day in Key
West be adopted and that an APP
peal to the Board of Public Works
be made to have White street
paved when the work of paving
Duval street is completed, and to
request the commandant of the
naval station to assist in the
Identification scheme by beauti-
flying the naval hospital grounds
were among the things suggested
and discussed at the meeting of
White street residents held last
night in the High School audi
torium. E. A. Strunk was elected
president of the association and
Melvin E. Russell was chosen as
secretary and treasurer.

Gated of pencil slim dinner gowns.
Among the evening modes, black
was conspicuous for its absence. The
rage for color, especially in formals,
was reflected in gowns such as a
draped dinner dress of green crepe.
Its long sleeves and nodded hipline
marked it as one of the successes of
the season. Another example of the
blending of bright tones was the
gown with white jersey skirt, gold
net top and short, perky jacket of
green suede.
Color also permeated the fashions
for daytime, although here they
were often combined with black. A
definite "show-stopper" was the
afternoon frock of imported French
jersey in black with tri-color front
panel of two shades of rose and
green. The vintage, or plum, shades
to advantage in daytime
clothes, too. Wine tones, rich
greens and other glowing colors
were particularly striking.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Please help me to select curtains,
draperies and wall paper for small
dining room G0 by 1O) with south
eastern exposure. The woodwork is
creamy ivory and the rug expect
to use is plain green broadloom.
The furniture is walnut. I should
like to use a plain wall paper and
figured washable chintz draperies,
but the room is small and the win
dows double, and am afraid it will
not have a restful effect. All the
attractive chintzes seem to have
rather large patterns. Would YOU
use green background or an ivory
one, for the paper? How about the
draperies? What kind of glass cur
tains do you suggest? MA.
Answer:
You are right, I think, about the
plain walls and small-figured chintz.
Use the light cream or yellow wall
paper for 1t will give you spacious
ness and you now have plenty of
green In your rug. I must admit
that most of this years important
chlntzes do have large patterns, but
there are some nice small ones, too.
Ask to see the small Colonial pat
terms which you will find full of
color on either light or dark grounds.
However, keep yours light. Treat
your double window as one as far
as the drapery is concerned; that
is, hangings at either side and a
valance across the top. Use very
sheer, -colored, straight hem
med glass curtains. The rayon and
celanese ones are sheerer than the
marquisette.

mate between the sexes. But It
wouldn't make for progress and 1t
wouldn't increase the spending
ability Of the Nation.
Those who would shut the door
of the commercial world in the faces
of married women overlook the very
important fact that none of US live
to ourselves alone and that virtually
every one of us have members of
our families dependent upon us.
Thus 1t often happens that young
man and a girl have both been the
mainstay of their families. They
have old mothers and fathers and
little brothers and sisters who could
not live except for their help. And
so. while the man might be earning
enough to support his wife alone,
he could not spread his salary over
the needs of three families. It is
only by the wife working that they
can take care Of their families and
save them from individual misery
and from becoming public charges.
OF course, If a woman has chill
dren, her work is in the home, be-
cause modern ingenuity has never
devised synthetic mother. but If
she has no children, then whether
she works outside of her home or in
it is her own affair. I have known
many working women, but I have
never known q bakers dozen who
punched time clocks for the fun of
the thing.
It is a pity that there are not
enough good jobs for everybody,
but why elect a working wife to be
the only altruist and give hers up?
