Yet some folks, apparently in- teltigent, express surprise that a better dgfly paper is not produced in Key West. Tie costs of publishing a daily paper are exormous. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Within a short time it is likely that the Library of Congress in Washington will ; become the greatest in the world, if not so already. books it is surpassed by the Public Library treasures in the way of maps, charts, mu- sic and pictures of every description. The Library of Congress was SOE lished in 1800, but was destroyed when | the British burned the capitol in 1814. It was started again by the purchase by Con- | gress of ex-President Thomas Jefferson’s private library of 6,760 volumes for $23,- 950. Additions were made from time to about 35,000 volumes. This less was partly replenished through purchase and donations until the library now has more than 4,477,000 volumes, more than a mil- lion maps, charts and views, more than a million pieces of music, and half a million photographs, prints, engravings and litho- graphs.

Priceless fYeasures in the way of rare books and manuséripts gathered from all parts of the world, with a floor space of more than 14 acres.

Every American who possibly can should visit it. THE ICE PATROL It sometimes takes a great disaster to awaken a community or a nation to the ' fact that a known menace to life and prop- erty often may be removed through. in- telligent action. Such was the lesson of the Titanic, sunk through collision with an iceberg on April 14, 1912, with a loss of 1,527 lives, S This shocking tragedy of the sea aroused a demand for precautionary mea- stres, resulting in the formation of the in- ternational ice patrol to watch for and re~ port locations of icebergs in the north At- Tantic stearner lanes during the dangerous season of each year which is in the late spring and early summer. ; Ten nations joined im bearing the ex- Ie pense, the patrol duty being performed | by the United States Coast Guard cutters. This patrol has been maintained each year since the Titanic disaster, with the excep- tion of two years during the war. Two cutters are empleyed each year, using Halifax as a base, and they send out information of icebergs sighted, this infor- mation being transmitted by radio to all vessels in the danger zone. Captains of vessels of all nations cooperate by report- ing to the ice patrol any icebergs sighted by them, this data also being broadcast by radio twice daily. In the 20 years since the ice patrol was established not a single life has been lost nor a single ship damaged through col- lision with icebergs. Truly a fime record. THE AMERICA’S CUP At Gosport, England, was recently launched a new racing yacht, the Velshe- da, which is expeeted to compete for the famous America’s Cup, won first on Aug- ust 22, 1861, when the America defeated the English Aurora, and kept on this side \ OD} of the Atlantic ever since. soffie festive occasion we are going to di-} This original contest for the covet- ed trophy was a single race, as was the second in 1870 when the American Magic } defeated the English Cambria. Since then the contests have been decided by the best two out of three races, or the best three out | of five. Te date American yachtsmen, of ‘which the last five were owned by the late Sir Thomas Lipton, | who made his last attempt in 1930, when } his Shamrock V was defeated by the American yacht Enterprise. He had promised to try a sixth time, but death in- | tervened. Sir Thomas was greatly admired by | the American people, and shortly after his! last defeat he was invited to return to New | York to receive a “consolation cup” as a token of appreciation of his fine sports- manship. He was affectionately known as “the world’s best loser.” 13 British challengers have | tried unsuccessfully to wrest the cup from | | Te Ya \ {| | Ladle aN tt t | KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Mere Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Scoutmaster George F.
