of commerce pamphlet reads in
parts as follows: Key West is
different from Florida resorts. It
has no intention of becoming one,
holding no inducement to those
who would dissipate life.
'The island, four miles long

without losing its dignity. There
is one expensive resort hotel.
There's at least one good moder-

there are several rooming houses

Chicago Tribune Reporter
Featured City In Article

Key West was featured in The
Chicago Daily Tribune last Satur-
day, January 20, in an article
written by Hal Foust, special
correspondent for that paper on
tour of resort centers in Flor
ida.
The article presented a neat
little map of south Florida show
ing the keys and Key West
prominently charted. The writer
was in the city last Wednesday
and the article, which follows
herewith, was sent special to the
Tribune:
"This island, most southern
point in the United States, is lit

boom that on the mainland is
swelling villages with new
cabins, new gasoline stations,
new houses, and new hotels. Key
West, with its barnacled water
front, its narrow streets of sun
and wind faded houses, is undis-
turbed by its few hundred visi-
tors.
THE Key West atmosphere of
a distant insular possession has
not been dispelled by the COM
pletion two years ago of a $751;
100000 highway with 38 bridges
between keys for the Ito miles to
the mainland. The only colors
added to the picture since this
reporter was here two years ago
are the figures in white or in
blue uniforms. On sidewalks
shared by dark skinned Cubans
and shaded by palms, the tanned
sailors look like navy recruiting
advertisements.

"Of course the navy isn't new

Porter established a base here
in 1922 to fight Caribbean
pirates. 1t was an important

The current campaign of the
Committee for the Celebration of
the Presidents Birthday is an eff

of the money raised all over the

The funds collected will be
used to track down the unknown
virus of Infantile Paralysis; to

iron lungs, therapeutic pools; to
give special occupational instruc-

he just gets jealous and pitches
fits but that is to be expected by
any husband if he has a cause. You
could be satisfied and happy with
him if you tried a little harder.

be over it soon. l am disappointed
very much by the other party not
responding at all to "our" trouble.
He knows all about it and l want
to know if 1 should write him again
for the fourth time?
Ans: This boy isn't going to an
swer your letters and he is taking
none of the responsibility . un-
less, of course, your PARENTS get
in behind him and have him
brought back to town. If you want
to handle it this way he will
have to marry you, but if not, just
remain quiet and let the gossip,
ETC., die down as quickly as pos
sible.
M. F. S.: Please, Sir, want to
know why my husband goes off
with other women and spends his
money and doesn't stay at home
and help me. Now / have told him
that he could just stay as he has
been gone six years and comes
back and forth some times.
Ans: You're quite right if
he doesn't intend to stay at home
and bring his money to you, let
him stay away entirely. He has
the idea that he is being a swell
fellow among the ladies and doesn't
have sense enough to know they
are pulling his leg.

go along as she can do more good
than you could. There are certain
papers that must have her sigma
ture and it would delay things a
bit if you went instead of her.

you haven't worked yourself to
