The big job is to bring back Key West's prosperity. . This southern- most eity in Continental United States once was busy enough with its cigar factories, its sponge-fisheries, its naval base, its Coast Guard stations, its raiiroad ferries to Havana, and its tourists. The building of the Florida East Coast Railways series of viaducts eon- necting the island with the Florida mainland was a great engineering feat. Now so much travel goes by automobile that the first step in rehabilitating Key West is to build a series of bridges from key to key, so“ that tourists may drive straight to Key West, and. thence, perhaps { ‘embark to!‘Cuba. ‘In fact, Mayor Malone has a dreath of a“gréat’ Pan-American highway Bastern States going via Mexico, and the West In- dies. At’any rate the PWiA is being asked to lend the money to build the causeway, which may be constructed for perhaps $5,- 500,000, half of the original estimate. Key West, which has lost population as well as trade in recent years, seems to be banking ehiefly on the tourists, now that the cigar in- with care froin all Key ‘West ito Cuba, dustry has moved away. The Government has abandoned its naval base and changes in trade rontes have sadly diminished the \city’s mercial importance, com- GREAT TUNNEL OPENED Many a British worker, skilled’ and unskilled has had a job during the con- struction of the longest and largest under- water tunnel in the world, driven under the River Mersey to connect the cities of Liverpool and Birkenhead, which was opened to traffic a few days ago. The new tunnel is named Queensway, in honor of Queen Mary, and was formally epened by King George, who threw a switch of gold which caused electric motors to roll back a huge curtain from the mouth of the great tube. Queensway is two and one-seventh miles-long and 44 feet in diameter, accom- modating four lines of traffic. It has been It is nearly half under construction nine years and cost ap- a mile longer than the great Holland tun- nel under the Hudson River which nects New York and New Jersey. Speaking of the construction of con- Queensway, Sir Basil Mott, chief engineer | sb of the project, paid a generous compliment to. American engineering skill, when he saidsiiWe-.owe* much to experience gained ‘By the Americans in building the | Holland tynnel.” - A GUARDED PROPOSAL Lorenzo Dow, an Aimerican evan- gelist who went to Ireland in 1799 to en- deavor to convert the Catholics of country to Protestantism, was a bold spirit in many respects, but it appears that he was extremely cautious in matters in which women were concerned. His tentative proposa written to a young woman of his aequaint- ance, is a masterpiece of conservatism. He wrote as follows: ‘ j “If 1 am preserved, about a year and a half from now I am in hopes of seeing | this northern country again; and if during that time you live and remain single, and ! find no one. that you like better than you ‘do me, and’ would be willing to give me up three years out of every four for travel in | foreign lands (for if you should stand in the way I would pray God to remove you, which I believe He would answer) and if I find no one I like better than I do you, perhaps something further may be said upon the subject.” It is safe to say that the young lady breach of promise verdict on the strength of a letter | like that. zine, and thus has. “more than 5,000,000 | that j : | of marriage, Ceeseccacsecconnacece 2764—Pierre CC.
