CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN

Efforts of the American Legion to ar
range a clean up of Key West before the
start of the April convention are reminis-
cent of an old swindle that is understood TO
have worked beautifully in several small
towns
In the hands of private promoter, it
isn't particularly larcenous and the legion
might see if the same idea could be worked
here.
If promoter who felt in the mood for
cleaning ran into small city in the same
mood, he would arrange general clean
up of the neighborhoOd with city officials
and merchants participating. For each
piece of junk, tin can, bottle or pound of old
papers or rags, the cleaner wodld issue
coupon which, at the end of the campaign,
was good for prize donated by one of the
merchants.
1t was alright with the store owners,
because they paid nothing except the prize
and enjoyed a good deal of publicity as the
donors. City trucks usually were offered
to help pick up the junk and transport it to
the cleanup headquarters where the pro-
moter stacked it in a highly satisfying
pile.
Of course everyone wondered why the
good stranger bothered to do so much for
so little, but he usually came out of it fairly
we'll. The citizens won prizes, the town
was cleaned up, the merchants had adver-
tising-and the promoter sold the junk.
Seriously, Key West coud improve its
appearance a great deal by concerted eff
fort to pick up all the junk and old papers
scattered in streets and yards. The larger
part of the city's tification-painting
and rebuilding of old houses-is going
ahead to the tune of the highest building
permit records in 20 years.
The smaller part of a'general rubbish
clean up ought to be carried out, even if
the convention were not coming.

CIRCLING THE GLOBE

No one has ever really circled the
globe. because to literally do that would
mean going around the world at its cir
cunference, whether by following the
equator or otherwise. But going around
the world is generally understood to mean
anv massage around the earth between the
two poles.
How the time required for this feat has
been reduced is strikingly illustrated by the
fact that Magellan's ship Victory, the first
to circ,.mnavigate the globe in the accepted
sense, took three years lacking II days for
it's voyage, 1919 to 1922.
Drake made it in 1852 days, some
thing over half century later CaVendlsh
r 1856 sailed from Plymouth, England
and returned in 7s1 days.
Then challenged by julie Verne's book
Around the World in 80 Days Nellie Bly,
a newspaper woman, went around the
world by boat and train in 72 days in 1899
The next wear George Francis Train did the
stunt in 67 days Other records ranging
around 40 days were made in the succeed
ing wears before the advent Of the ar
plane.
In 1927 Linton and Wells, employing
train. boat and airpfane, completed the
circuit in 28 days. In 1928 Mears and
Collver reduced the time to "a days; the
dirigible Graf Zeppelin in 1929 cut the
record to 81 days.
Then came the real record-breaker
