Ever since he was a boy. MIR.
Thompson had been deeply inter
ested in the oddities, known To-
callv as ''curios,' found in the sea
in the,vicinity of Key West That
interest led him, later in life, TO
open the Marine Curio Shop in a
building adjoining his home on
Margaret street.
He had in his store thousands
of queer things taken from the
sea, and he was familiar with ev-
cry one of them. One of his
greatest prizes, however, did not
come from the sea- but from a
trench II feet deep in the heart
of Key West. That specimen is a
peculiar conch shell, found at the
bottom Of ditch that was dug to
lay a sewer main, three years or
SO ago.
TT is purely a guess, Mr..
Thompson used to say, in discuss
ing the shell, "how long it was
when that part of Key West was
covered by the sea. It would re-
quire a geologist to determine the
length of time, which might have
been million or more years ago.
How long it took for secretions TO
gather to a depth of II feet de-

the sea in throwing up silt, but of
one thing we may be sure, il was

leaders today expressed pleasure
over Secretary of War Siimson's
assurance that supplies of planes
and other war material will
continue to 90 forward for use
by tie Allies in the Southwest
Pacific theater of war.
But. while expressing their
pleasure, the speakers stated
their complete accord with Gen
eral Douglas MacArthur's cry
that more planes, and not ships.
be sent to fight the japanese in
Australian waters.
The speakers pointed to what
they declared to be a fact that
land-based planes supplied the
major striking force in defeating
the Japs in the battles of the
Coral Sea and Bismarck Sea and
elsewhere in this area, and that
the planes will continue to be
more effective than naval power
in maintaining the offensive.
Headquarters released infor-
nation that shows that in the
land fighting on New Guinea,
the Japanese lost $4,000 men,
practically all of whom were
killed, to losses of 10000 by the
Allies, of whom $500 were kill
ed and 5000 wounded and miss
ing.
