The news will be received here with enthusi- asm, especially as the Atlanta dispatch discloses that the matter is being brought at frequent intervals to the attention of some 600,000 of the most substantial mo- terists in the entire United States. Little surprise will be felt here, how- ever, when it is learned that Thos. J. Bry- son, former editor of The Citizen, recently elected’ vice president of the motor club, is responsible for its action with regard to the Georgia-Florida-Cuba stem of the in- ter-continental highway. During his resi- dence in Key West, Mr, Bryson not only fought unceasingly and _ enthusiastically for development of the Eastern Branch, but came to be known as an authority on the subject—more familiar with it in all its phases, perhaps, than any other man in the country. If the motor club with which Mr. Bry- son has become associated will turn over to him the matter of promoting interest in the inter-American highway, there are few Key Westers who. doubt both his willing- ness and his ability to popularize the pro- ject wherever he may go—be it in Georgia or elsewhere. As The Citizen has so often urged in the past, opening of the Eastern Branch of the inter-continental road will mean more to Florida generally than any other one de- velopment in the range of possibility. Mr. Bryson says it would add the equivalent of more than $20,000,000 to Florida’s annual income and those who have had oppor- tunity to judge his information about this road and touring affairs generally will be slow to take issue with him. As for Key West, he has often expressed the opinion that development of the highway through this city would double its population in a decade. In the past, Key West has waged practically alone whatever fight has been made for the Eastern Branch. Now, it de- velops, she has unexpectedly. gained an al- ly and apparently a very powerful one. This should encourage local folk who have taken part in the fight in the past not only to continue their efforts; but to redouble them. VENDING MACHINES Slot machines for vending a wide va- riety of merchandise have been introduced with great rapidity in recent years, one company alone manufacturing such “auto- matie clerks” having an investment. of 25 million dollars in this field. Although | coin-in-the-slot machines have been common for a long time, it is the extension of the idea to so many lines that makes recent developments notable. The convenience to the public is seen by the fact that many of them are set up under such means of protection that they give 24 hour service. One drug store in Detroit uses no less than 52 slot machines, selling many kinds of creams, pastes; soaps, tobacco, and in fact all sorts of packaged products. Then there are others whith vend sodas; radio entertainment, electric vibration, gasoline, canned goods, tea, coffee and even eggs. All these are said to have been deve- loped from an idea originally employed by a manufacturer 40 years ago, when he en- gaged a carpenter to build the first chew- ing gum vending machine, which at the time was looked upon as an ingenious toy. It is another illustration of how great in- dustries sometimes grow out of an appar- ently penance mdeh ese A SHOCK! (Havana Post) An Associated Press d tch from | Manila announces that the United States war department has awarded a contract to a Japanese firm for 1,875,000 pounds of sugar. It wasn’t so very long ago that Jap- anese restaurants were carrying the an- nouncement: “No dogs or Americans allowed.” A little later, Japanese thugs attacked the office of the Singer Sewing Machine company in Tokio for nd greater redson than the fact that it was an American firm. How inconsistent our great country can be sometimes.
