A. MOFFETT In the death of Rear Admiral William Adger Moffett, chief of the Naval Bureau} of Aeronautics, who perished in the dis- aster to the dirigible Akron, the nation lost one of its most distinguished and gal- Jant naval officers. He was born in Charleston, S. C., October 31, 1869, and was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1890. He served with Dewey at the battle of “Manila in 1898, and was awarded the nation’s high- est military distinction, the Congressional Medal of Honor, “for eminent and spicuous conduct in battle” in the capture of Vera Cruz, in 1914. He also received the Distinguished Service Medal “for ex- ceptionally meritorious service in a posi- tion of great responsibility in the World War.” During fiis long and notable naval con- (STHE KEY WEST CITIZEN COSCO aSeSoeoecocesornSseoeseaseseneecesee Daily Cross-word Puzzle eveccccoooeseces eecceenpescooes CROSS.

The na- tional house judiciary committee tabled one bill having that end in view and in-! definitely delayed another. Under one measure, financially embarrassed cities eould have gone into court and obtained moratoriums on debt principal and in- -terest payments for as much as 10 years. *The other bil! would let cities and dis- * triets reduce the interest and principal payments upon their obligations, provided | they obtained an agreement with creditors holding 75 per cent of their paper.

Admiral Moffett was a strong ad- voeate of, the dirigible as a_ military weapon, and his enthusiasm for this doubt- ful instrument of warfare cost him his life: While many do not agree with his views on this particular branch of aeronautics, all must admire the courage he displayed in backing his opinions by risking and los- ing his life in his zeal to vindicate them. ELECTRIC INDUSTRY AND RECOVERY It is an interesting fact that, in the depressions of the past, the United States has been led, out of them by unusual ex- pansion of some major industry. This was true, for example, in the case of the automobile industry in the depression that followed the war. Car sales zoomed—and related industries, which in. the long run provided more employment than. did the automobile industry itself, grew up. The electric industry is in a more or less similar position today, even: though it has expanded amazingly in the past. The well lighted home is still the exception and not the rule. Industry is, to an increasing extent, turning to.electric power and away. from. other forms of mechanical. power. Better and cheaper: electric labor-saving devices are appearing on the market— and, aside from sueh commonplace ap- plianees as electric. percolators, toasters and vacuum cleaners, the: average. home has none of them. It is not inconceivable that ten years from now the domestic mar- ket for electricity ‘will be ten times as great as at present. é As depression lifts, more and more money goes into such’ articles as these labor-saving devices. Every time one is sold, whether by the utility or a dealer, the market for power is broadened, and a potential demand for repairs, parts and service is created. Money is put into cir- | eulation—men go to work. In“conquering depression the electric industry will be in the front. rank, ners IN 1880 “ In a recent item in which fact and humor were delightfully commingled, a commentator described the “good old days” of a half century ago. His descrip- tion of some fashions of the time were both interesting and amusing. Recalling the basques, polonaises, hoopskirts and bustles of a former day, reference was also made to an incident which occurred in Lyons, N. Y., in 1880. While trying to fit a customer into a new dress embodying the “wasp waist” effect so popular at the time, a dressmaker broke the lady's ribs. In the homes of the period were seen wax flowers, embroidered mottoes, horse- hair sofas, tatting tidies, “what-nots” adorned with conch shells, kerosene lamps i and “family albums replete with tintypes portraying Aant Sally with her head care- fully held im position by a cast iron prong.” In 1880 the telephone was a new toy, and a’European newspaper described Edi- son's reported invention of the inean- descent lamp as “the latest American hum- bug.” Few believed that man would ever | fly; the X-ray and radio. were undreamed | of, and there were ne automobiles. Most men wore beards and nearly everyone had | appendix and tonsils intact. Perhaps these who look back upon} tus from the vantage point of 50 years hence will find us as interestingly amusing } as we behold the folks of 50 years ago. | | | aaa” aaaase aade rit 7 228088 Bane pee el “4 Srerit ie | ?oee Soon PPT HPCE eer 4008 J0088 ann eet aaa = oot aoeeea Cer IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years ‘Ago Today, As Taken From The Files.
