NAVY REAL ESTATE

Key Westers were incredulous last
week when it first was suggested that the
navy might extend it's reservation to take
another five blocks almost out of the heart
of the city.
One large tract near the Biological
station was spoken for by the navy only a
few weeks ago, when plans were announc-
led. in Washington forathe construction of a
81 100000 hospital here.
Then word was received last week of
the appropriation of another 81 100000 for
construction and filling around the air sta
ton, and to rumors that the navy had its
eye on another large tract in the middle of
town, most people answered:
"They couldn't have any more money
to spend now. That five blocks would cost
half million for the property, alone, with
out considering the cost of clearing away
present houses and building something
else"
It seems, however, that the navy does
have something else in mind.
Although purchase of the district
around the courthouse is not at all definite,
navy headquarters must have some large
piece of construction coming up, or they
would not be thinking in, terms of more
property, tn@s,4
Actually, it appears now the tract in
question would cost closer to q quarter than
a half-million, but by the time it could be
cleared, the government probably would
have invested around 100000.
We don't even attempt to guess what
is next on the navy program 1t does add up
70 something, though and Key West APP
parently is going to get its long desired
place in the sun as an important navy base.

A CAUTIOUS coURTSHIP


Lorenzo Dow, an American evangelist
who went to Ireland in 1899 to endeavor to
convert the Catholics of that country to
Professionalism, was bold spirit in many
respects, but it appears that he was ex-
tremely cautious in matters in which wo-
men were concerned.
His tentative proposal of marriage,
written to young woman of his acquaint-
ance, is masterpiece of conservatism. He
wrote as follows:
IF am preserved about year and
half from now am in hopes of seeing this
northern country again; and if during that
time you live and remain single, and find no
one that you like better than you do me,
and would be willing to give me up three
years out of every four for travel in foreign
lands (for if you should stand in the way
would pray God to remove you, which be-
lieve He would answer) and if find no one
I like better than do you, perhaps some
thing further may be said upon the sub
ject."
1t is safe to say that the young lady
could hardly have gotten breach of pro-
mise verdict on the strength of letter like
that.

THE MACHINE ACE

Those who blame machines for caus-
ing unemployment may be right in certain
specific instances. but only temporarily, be-
cause new inventions in7the long run tend
to create more employment and better
standard of living. 80
At the Congress of Industry in New
York City the machine age was defended
by three of the worlds most eminent
scientists-Dr Edward r. Weidlen, presi-
dent Of the American Chemical Society;
DR.. Karl r. Compton. president of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology, and DR..
Robert A. Milikan. president of the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology.
All three agreed that scientific de-
velopment and invention are necessary to
industrial progress. and all rejected the
idea that labor-saving devices destroy jobs.
DIR. Compton expressed the general view of
the scientists when he said:
The automobile, communication, che
mical, public utility. railroad and modern
food industries stand out as examples of
what science can do in creating employment
