CAL OFFICE, SAYS BUSI- NESS HAS PICKED UP WON- DERFULLY IN TWO DAYS Tomorrow is ‘the last day on which state automobile license tags can be purchased for the reg- ular fixed price. After that date the purchaser must pay 25 percent of the price additional. Agent George Gomez told The Citizen today that business has been so brisk for the past two days that he and his assistant have had no time to do anything else but sell tags. Before noon today forty had been purchased. In a check made this morning the books showed approximately 500 tags sold. This is a few less than one half of ‘the total number of cars, in the epinion of Mr. Gomez. ——| Up until this afternoon he had not received any notification from Tallahassee that there would be any time ¢xtension granted to de- linquent buyers’‘of tags, he said. Great pressure has been brought to bear on the governor asking that at least a'30-day extension be granted. In the event that Governor Sholtz does not grant the pleas of the different counties, the Key West office will be kept open to- motrow until midnight. SPECIAL MISSION SERVICES CLOSED HERE LAST NIGHT REV. McGRATH HEARD ON SUBJECT OF “AMERICA’S SOVEREIGN RULER”; LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT The Holy Year dogmatic mission that had been conducted during eight days in St. Mary’s Star of the Sea, Roman Catholic Church, by Rev. Thos, J. S. McGrath, S. J., came to a close last night when this missionary spoke on, ‘“Ameri- ca’s Sovereign Ruler,” in which he portrayed in words the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ. After the lecture there was. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the Apostolic blessing, renewal of bap- tismal vows, and consecration of families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is estimated that more than a thousands persons attended both morning and evening services in this church. Four rows of chairs were placed in the aisles, yet there were many who remained standing at both services. At the morning service Father McGrath explained the holy sacri- fice of the mass, which he announc- ed as the highest form of worship in the Catholic church. During the explanation, the mass was read by Father A. L. Maureau. Yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock there was a special service for children, when the visiting mis- sionary blessed’ all present. A silver medal with chain, offered to the youngest Catholic boy, was presented to the infant son of Mr. and Mrs, John Gomez, and a simi- lar medal and chain to the young- est baby girl was presented to the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Haskins, To the Catholic mother of the largest number of children, a gold medal and chain was offered, this was presented to Mrs. Lorenzo Gomez, 1205 Divi- sion street. In closing the mission last night Father McGrath thanked all who had assisted in making the mis- sion a success. To Father F, X. Dougherty, pastor, and to Father A. L, Maureau, assistant pastor of this church, to the choir, altar boys, ushers, societies, sodalities, the sisters of the convent of Mary Immaculate, L. P. Artman, publish- jler of The Key West Citizen, and to the Catholics and non-Catholics, who attended the devotions, he ex- pressed thanks and said, “God Bless You.”” | Florida Sails For Cuba The S. S.

HUTCHINSON (Chairman of the Board, Plymouth Motor Corporation) Within approximately the last twenty-five years, Americar ini- tiative and ingenuity and _ vast sums of American capital have produced, in the form of high- | ways and highway motor vehicles, a system of transportation which, in its nationwide local ramifica- tion, connects even more com- pletely than do the railroads, every city, village and hamlet of; the country. This, as contrasted! with the mass transportation sys- tem of the railroads, is essentially an individual transportation sys-_ tem, and it is inconceivable that the country could get along with- out it. automobiles in the United States. At the end of 1931 there were 25,814,000 automobiles registered in this country. There is nearly one automobile for every five peo- ple in the United States; that is practically one automobile for each family, There are more automobiles in this country than telephones. A writer for one of the country’s leading publications pointed out not long ago that we —the most bathroomed nation— have more automobiles than bath- rooms; that every day more of us use a car than use a toothbrush, and that the automobile above everything else is the American standard of the American stand- ard of living. This enormous growth of the automobile industry would not have occurred had the automobile been merely an instrument for pleasure. Its wide use in this country and its growing use abroad testify to its value as es- sentially an instrument of utility. The pleasure car of twenty years ago is now called a passenger car, and this change in nomenclature is expressive of the change in function which has taken place. In its principal service function today—the transportation of per- sons—the automobile has en- ormously increased the mobility of people, widened their normal horizon and broadened their out- look. It is conceivable, too, that the influence of the automobile has contributed to the noticeably lessened social tension incident. to the times of stress through which this country has recently passed, as compared with what has occur- red in other like periods. Due to its flexibility, safety, convenience and economy more than 90 per cent of the passenger miles by all means of transport is by automobile. It travels over.a network of highways twelve times as extensive as the railway tracks. in the United States; it carries four or five people at practically the cost of carrying one, and en- ables the passenger to start and ; stop when and where he chooses. The school bus is today rapidly eliminating the little red school house of yesterday’s fame, and it it logical to assume that in mak- ing our people less provincial, the automobile may even change the course of community development, eliminating many of our smaller! villages and building up the larger trading centers. Estimates of the volume of freight transported by truck vary widely. The fact is, however, that the actual transportation service of the truck, its potentialities for service, and the value which the public places on truck trans- portation, are very much greater than available figures indicate. It is quite natural that a trans- portation factor as great and as rapid in its growth as the motor vehicle should raise many prob- lems of adjustment. There will doubtless be a considerable ex- pansion in the transportation of persons and goods by automobile. Doubtless, too, there will always exist the need for a very sub- stantial part of our transportation service by rail. It is perhaps not to be expected that the adjust- ments which are necessary to the proper coordination of these two land transportation agencies—the automobile and the railway—will be accomplished overnight. In the end, of course, the most jeconomical forms of transporta- } tion will survive, preserving to the j people of the country the bene- | fits which each form can con- | { NEW! mB ANTISEPTIC i j Transportation REVIEWS INDUSTRY SeececccvcecceccoooooeCt SPECIAL TRAIN TO INAUGURATIO EVERY COMFORT AND CON- VENIENCE ARRANGED;|Kyne took for his plot the story of DEMOCRATIC DELEGATION TO ATTEND CEREMONY (Special to The Citizen) SANFORD, Fila., Jan. 30.—The Florida Democratic Special was | |arranged for the comfort and con- In 1901, there were only 15,000 f B.

ANXIOUS FOR RIGHT CHICAGO — Harry Itskovitch of this city, weighing 500 pounds, rode from his home to the federal building on a motor truck to be- come an American citizen.

This has béen the course of transportation development in the past, and it is likely to be the future course as | well. How rapidly we arrive at a sound solution of America’s trans- portation problem depends in large part upon our willingness to let economic forces rather than arti- ficial restrictions determine the extent to which each mode of transportation will prevail. This is a challenge to American ingenuity and to the spirit of pro- gress of our people. It calls for the most constructive, forward- looking leadership which the trans- portation industries, railroad and automobile, can produce.
