school.
Several hundred persons wit
messed the event last night and
, also saw a full-scale pie-eating
contest, sponsored by the Shrin-

The fine attendance last night
ibid much to offset the unfor-
tunate weather conditions which
interfered with much of the
originally planned three-day Gel
ebration. Director Ivan Baggett.
who has seen the event through
to the finish despite adverse
weather conditions, said today
that he hoped that he would
break even financially on the
celebration. but doubted very
much whether he would. He said
the rain reduced expected re-
ceipts from the concession stands.
Lumber costs Comprised the chief
item of expense.
Baggett said he wished to cx-
tend his appreciation to all the
civic organizations. fraternal Or
ders, business firms and in
dividuals who gave their ready
cooperation to make the celebra
ton success. One of the fea-
lures of the event, which he said
deserved commentator, was the
Jayshee Betsy Ross float in the
Fourth of July parade.
The exhibit carried a l25-year-
old spinning wheel at which sat
Mrs. Frank Bowser, while Mrs.
Glen Archer acted the part of
Betsy Ross, making the first
American flag.
The shipment of fireworks
supposed to have reached Key
West from Orlando by the night
of the Fourth will be shipped

WASHINGTON. ID. c., July 7.
Enactment of the Peterson bill
for AN investigation by the U. S.
Tariff Commission of the cost
of production Of spongcs in Flor
ida waters and in the Mediter-
Tsnean area To lay the foundation
for an increase in the tariff on
foreign spongcs from Is to 30
per cent would help the sponge
industry in Key West. RepreJen-
tstive George A. Smathcrs OF
Florida said today.
This would take care of the
types Of spongcs produced in the
Key West section. Representative
Smathers said in the matter Of
competition with spongcs pro-
duced i'm the Mediterranean and
other foreign areas.
The tariff on yellow and wool
spongcs is 80 per cent and is only
Is per cent on other sponges.
Sponees produced in the Medi-
terranean. including the Man
druka. Turkish toilet. and Turk
ish cap enter this country in
competition with Florida produc-
cd spongcs on the Is per cent
tariff basis.
II Is proposed that the investi-
Cation by the u. S. Tariff Com
mission will show that sponges
are produced in Mediterranean
countries at less cost than IN
Florida. and that under the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act
an investigation is called for TO
show these differences in costs,
80 that the tariff can be increas-
ed to cover them.
The Peterson bill was refer
red io the House Ways and
Means Committee. Its supporters
will take up with the commit
tee next week the necessity of
an immediate report If action is
"a he obtained before adjourn
