It was a 2,000-ton vessel, the ‘ Benjamin F. Packard, last of the clipper ships, saved from the scrap-heap as a relic when placcd out of commission a few years ” | ago. The achievements of the long line of American ciipper ships which carried the Stars an- Stripes and bore American com- merce on the seven seas are notable in the history of navigation. These sturdy and | speedy vessels represented the last effort of the sailing ship to compete with the steamer on iong voyages with heavy cargo. Though finally defeated, they delayed the victory of steam propulsion for many years. First of the clipper type was the Rainbow, built in 1843 at Baltimore, home fast vessels, which often beat the steamers of thir day in tran.-Atlantie voyages. The quickest ciossing of the Atlantic under sail is said to have been that of the Dreadnought, New York to Ireland, in 12. days, in June, 1859. Another famous record was that of the Lightning, built in Boston, which once sailed 2,550 English miles in seven days. The fastest day’s record ever made by a sailing ship on any sea was 437 miles in 24 hours by the Sovereign of the Seas, during a voyage between New York and San Francisco. From, the Rainbow to the Benjamin F, Tackard these speedy clippers served their owners and their country well. They bore eloquent testimony to the genius of American shipbuilders and to the consum- mate seamanship of American sailors. Their glory is a part ef our national heritage. of a famous fleet of these WINTERS MAY BE COLDER Meteorologists are predicting an era of cold and wet winters in those parts of the United States where they hold sway. This is not good news for the deni- zens of the cold and bitter north but it is joyful news to most Floridians, because on the severity of the winter in the cold climes depends to a great extent the prosperity of the warmer zones. This satisfaction, nowever, is dampened by the knowledge that the poor must suffer as a consequence, «3 only those favored by the possession of | more than necessary worldly goods can| e-cape the rigors of cold winters by mi- grating to :unny Florida. The cold weather of the first two monti.. of the year broke many _ estab- } records, with 50 degrees below zero being recorded in North Dakota for the year’s luwest. Many sections report con- secutive weeks of below normal mercury readings with average temperatures set- ting new lows during the six week ending with the middle of last month. Heavy snows visited most of the States, with Paradise Inn, Wash. topping all places with 170 inches. Many States had thick snow on the ground for weeks, and even in some parts of the south chil- dren saw snow for the first time in their lives. Only Florida breathed the warmth of sunshine, and the thermometer main- tained a mean of 72, and an average range of only 14 degrees Fahrenheit. lishie KIDS ARE JUST KIDS In this age of research, surveys and investigations, it is sometimes encouraging to note that in most cases things are just about as sensible folks suspected before we had so much research. _ For example, after an elaborate study of many school pupils by experts of Wit- tenberg College, it was discovered that students from large families were as bright as those from small families. Also that there was a fair degree of uniformity among students who happened to be the oldest, middle or youngest in their respec- tive families. Again, it didn’t seem to make much ce in the intelligence of the off- spring wsether either or both of the parents were college graduates or not. All of which indicates that the aver- age pupil is just about average, no matter | what happened to his folks beforehand. Which, again and also, is what most of us knew all the time. ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN | DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years|- Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Captain John J. Maher, com-; manding officer of Key West bar-' racks, has been ordered to leave: Key West in May and report at; Panama for duty. Captain Maher, stated that he would not leave be- fore June.
