Stormy Weather First
Entry In Yacht Race

Stormy Weather, one of the
worlds most famous racing
yachts, is the first entry in this
years Havana-Key West Race.
Owner William Labrot, we'll
known sportsman of Baltimore,
Md, signed up for the race
Thursday with the race commit
tee of the Key West Yacht Club.
The sleek So foot yawl, berthed
at Craig Docks, has won most of
the big ocean races at one time
or another, including the race to
Norway in 1886, which was one
of the greatest sailing races of
all time. The local yacht club
considers the acquisition of
Stormy" a real feather in their
halliards, as the presence of this
yacht in their race is certain to
attract other outstanding boats.
Mr. Labrot was taken for an
inspection tour of the yacht club
property and became very en-
thusiastic over the prospects of
the club, saying that it has the
opportunity of developing one of
the finest yacht basins in the
country. When the Garrison
Blight is dredged and the en-

HOTEL PROJECT

In COMMITTEE
ORDINANCES OF CITY CON-
FLICT WITH CAMPAIGN DE-
SIGNED TO HALT AUTO
HORN BLOWING.

The subject of whether or not
Key West will exclusively cham
pion the cause mo automobile
horn blowing" among cities of
this state, appears to depend upon
whether or not the Public Safe
ty committee of the City Council
working in cooperation with
Guy Carleton, champion of the
cause here, can work out a way
of bringing such a feature to the
city and not make necessary re-
vision of the city ordinances now
on the books.
Mr.. Carleton was first speaker
at the Council meeting Thursday
evening, appearing as represen-
tative of the Key West Hotel and
Tourist Homes Association. That
organization had suggested at
their last meeting that stop
signs" be constructed for all cor
ners of main thoroughfareS, with
the additional wording, Don't
Blow Your Horns, on a line
around the edges of the sign.
Councilman Ramsey reminded
.ka Gpncil that present ordin-
ances called for safety features
on autos, including horns, be in
good working order. The mat
ter, at conclusion of the discus
sion, was referred to the public
safety committee for further
study.
Mr.. Carleton. in bringing the
subject up, had considerable to
say in defense of his interest in
"anti-noise" regulations here. "A
truly ideal tourist center would
result from ordinances Kidding
the city of noises now rampant"
he said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Con-

announced today that additional

ped off the budget submitted by
President Roosevelt last month.

trance is widened so that large
cruisers can tie up in the pro-
tected waters, he expressed him
self as certain that a large pro-
portion of the yachts now berth
ing for the winter at points up
the coast will move down here
bringing many thousands of dol
lars into Key West every year.
In view of this, he considers the
development of the Blight as the
most important step in the i'm
mediate future of Key West.
The owner of Stormy Wealth
err, who was one of the organ
izers of the flourishing Anna
poiiis Yacht Club in Maryland,
offered many helpful suggestions
as to yacht club organization. He
stressed as of the utmost i'm
portance that the local club con-
centrate on building its member
ship from among the type of peo-
pie who fully appreciate what a
yacht club means, both to them
selves and to the community. He
said, at is best to start with a
small nucleus of enthusiastic
boat7conscious people who can
attract the type of outside
yachtsmen that every club needs
to become great.

HELSINKI, Feb. 3.-Russia has
made no appreciable gains in the
recent more-furious attacks on
their southern and northern
fronts. Official communicates
from the fronts indicate that the
Firms are holding their own.
Russia, on the other hand, &C
cording to Finnish reports, is con-
tinuing to suffer heavy losses, de-
spite Moscow's denial of such
claims. Soviet officials have been
reluctant to event admit major
battles are in progress in Fin
land.
Russian bombing planes con
tinue to hammer away at Finnish
morale today. Information was
released, however, that the Firms
shot down twelve planes yester-
day and seven more were unof-
ficially reported shot down.
The Mannerheim Line on the
Karelian peninsular still holds.
Wave after wave of Soviet troops
have been hurled against Finnish
defenses in that sector, but to no
avail. Firms appear confident
they can hold out until more
substantial help comes from
friendly neighbors in the Spring.

When DR.. Parkhurst, who is IS

left Buffalo, which is a suburb
of Kenmore, the winds had be-
gun to whip up ten~foot snow
drifts along the lake.
The first day we reached Har-

escaped the cold", DR.. Parkhurst
said. "In that we were mistak-
en-. We got out of Harrisburg the
next day in a furry of snow. We
managed to stay ahead of the
real cold and the heavy snow,
finally reaching St. Petersburg.
When we discovered how bit
