Nikola Tesla, the inventor whose work has been very important in the electrical world, has turned his specu- lations to Mars. He says life on the planet Mars may be from 1,000,000 to to 10,000,000 years older than on the earth. He also thinks the hope of communicating with the planets is not an idle one, but merely awalits the invention of proper apparatus, based on the earth’s frequency of vibration, which he places at 11.77 per second.

AROUND THE CITY By Nannie Lancaste on the other hand, don't skimp your- self under the impression that you can get something more stylish for the money, say, in Paris. To make a purchase without knowing the lan- guage of the store is a confusing or- deal, especially as foreign business methods differ from ours. Better con- fine your buyings to souvenirs; and, at that, you have to be careful. I bought a coral necklace one time —the loveliest pink—at Lucerne, in a colorful shop kept by a young man who looked like anart ‘model and whose eyes were midnight suns. He, himself, had fished for the coral, senora- “Well, in a couple of years the coral turned ivory white, except in the deeper recesses, which made the chain even more attractive; but it wasn't coral, but & bone of some sort carved into tiny balls that fitted together in clusters. “When you buy the unset cameos you find in Italy be sure to look at each plece under a magnifying glass u;l ufie that it is hand-cut from genuine shell. “You can get wonderful trinkets over there—not so cheap, now that most venders have relatives in Amer- ica who keep them posted as to prices -—-but reasonable enough; only—you must use your eyes. “And, whatever you do, don't broadcast a general promise to send postcards! You will notice that merest acquaintances will end up good wishes for your journey with: ‘Send me a postcard from every place you go—don't forget.’ They say it Jjust to be pleasant, and you promise without realizing that you have sad- dled yourself with a tax on your time and money. “We can buy all the cards we want over here, for a cent each, but in E: rope the price for cards is so gener- ally a nickel each that, with the post- age, it you multiply that one card by every city in the possibly six countries | you “travel through you will under- |atand what it means to lug a burden around.

One of these is the Conservatory of Music, long established in Miami and most suc- cessful under the direction of Miss Bertha Foster The new affiliation will bring to the Con- servatory an enlarged field for work which will assure greater success than ever. Around the Conservatory will be grouped the Schools of Art, Philosophy, Science, Law and other branches of higher education. Near it will be built the University High School, Shriners’ Club and Sports Centers, new Florida East Coast Station, Sanitarium and other splendid features. Nearly 500 acres in the Riviera Section at Coral Gables will be devoted to these splendid institu- tions, goif courses and yacht basins. The Riviera Section is the largest section which Coral Gables has offered at any one time. Its area is 2000 acres. It is also the most carefully planned section, with extensive tropical landscaping, 100- foot boulevards, fine 300-foot waterways, and other delightful features. It will also be the finest residential area in the suburban city. More than 200 homes costing from $25,000 to $200,000 each already are financed for this section, and will be built in the next year. Every one of the Riviera’s institutional features is a great enhancement factor. With their con- struction there will be grest increases in values of plots.
