No. 247. MRS. WARREN Lk hhh hd bidbd } [GREATER SPEED RETURNS FROM JACKSONVILLE ALSO MAKES TRIP TO WEST PALM BEACH; ATTENDED SESSION OF PLANNING AS- SOCIATION Mrs. William R. Wiarren return-; ed last evening from Jacksonville where she attended a meeting of | the Southeastern Planning Asso- ciation on Monday and later went} Social West! to the District Board of Welfare meeting held in Palm Beach on Wednesday. ” At this meeting there were 23 applications for old age assistance| and one rejected. Other applice-| tions are to be considered at the meeting to be held on October 21, it was shown. Dr, Carl N. German, chairman of the District 10 board made the statement that Florida is the only state in which the county commis- sioners are matching federal funds for old age assistance under the Social Security Act. Of course, as has been explained, this is only a temporary plan lasting through next July when the State Legisla- ture will be given the opportunity to appropriate funds. Action by the legislature will depend upon ratification of the amendment to the state constitu- tion which is to be voted on by the people of Florida November 3. Asked about the meeting of the Planning Association, Mrs. War- ren said there were two sessions held, each of which was very in- teresting with some of the best speakers in Florida giving ad- dresses. The first meeting was attended by Governor Dave Sholtz of Flor- ida and Governor-Elect Rivers, of Georgia, each of whom made ex- cellent talks. The other meeting was attended by C. B. Treadway, chairman of the state road depart- ment, and E. A. Pynchon, Florida PWA administrator. After the talks by the various speakers, said Mrs. Warren, the subject matter of the discourses would be discussed from every angie, and these discussions brought out many points which were not only highly interesting, but also enlightening, Mrs, Warren said that two of the outstanding incidents of the series of meetings were the talks made by Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the Advisory Commit- tee of National Resources Com- mittee, and an uncle of Presi- dent Roosevelt, who presided at the banquet, and that of ‘“Land- marks and Signposts, a Talk of Tropical Planning,” delivered by George E. Merrick, chairman of the Dade County Planning Coun- cil. Following his talk Mr. Merrick was extended an _ invitation to come to Key West, and expressed his pleasure at the invitation, say- ing he would come here some time in the near future. PATIENT TAKEN ABOARD PLANE Plane from the Coast Guard base at Miami arrived this morn- ing for John Cumbo, a patient in the Marine hospital, who had been ordered transferred to M¥ami. Within the next 90 minutes a message was received advising of the safe arriva! of the plane with the patient, Economical Weddings Celebrated In Turkey (My Associated, Press) KONIA, Turkey, Oct. 16.— Eight Turkish girs, residing in a nearby village, offered an exam- ple to young couples who desire to marry cheaply.

This will be the second sea- son in Key West for the Hollys and their letter in- dicates they are looking for- ward to the trip with de- lightful anticipation, es- pecially fishing from the bridges. which they enjoyed so thoroughly last season. Mr. Curry said that he had also received assurances from Mr. and Mrs. H. B.

ELECTIONS ON SLOT MACHINES CONSTITUTIONAL SUPREME COURT GIVES RUL- ING DEALING WITH ISSUE; ALSO CLARIFIES STATUS OF LICENSES + This Local option elections on machines are constitutional. was decided by the supreme court this week which advised that the elections may be held in Novem- ber, but licenses may not be is- sued after that date in counties which vote the devices ow:. However, the court ruled that licenses which have been issued re- main in effect until October 1, 1937, and machines which have al- ready secured licenses may main in operation until that date, it was pointed out. It was shown that the office of re- Comptroller J, M. Lee has to dat2| for 9500 slot ma-; issued permi' chines which” means that at least this number wll be in operation lthreughout.the ensuing year.

In a decade the transport airplanes has been in- creased fourfold, and in another of Hl t two, years the dimensions of [geet ceeeeet oeile lala has doubled. Improvements Are Rapid Improvements have come so fast that the aeronautical en- gineer, designing a 52,000-pound, 40-passenger machine for 1938, is jled to fear that he is undershoot- | ing his mark for passenger traffic jm 1940. Look back a bare nine years: Lindbergh was flying the At- | lantic. The standard transport [machine weighed about 7,000 pounds, accommodated only four or five passengers. horsepower motor was the wonder of the industry; tomorrow's air- plane will lift off the ground un- der four motors of j power each. Look back only seven years: The first transcontinental passen- ger transport service was im- augurated. Only 36 hours coast- to-coast, it advertised; today the machine which cannot cruise from Newark to Burbank or San Fran- cisco in 16 hours is obsolete. That first ambitious transcontinental line, of course, was a combination | rail-and-air proposition. Its big | transports flew at 100 miles an jhour; today’s machines, dwarfing their predecessors, cruise at 190 jmiles an hour. i Machines Get Faster | The gyro-pilot, the clean sweep {of wing and fuselage, aluminum , alloy materials, the twin-row 14- cylinder motor and improvements jin two-way radio transmission jeombine to produce a machine | which travels between Cleveland jand Chicago in an hour and 50 { minutes. When the airplane was turned jto commercial pursuits in 1918, jthe wing was still an internally- i braced structure with a fabric leovering. The covering, struc- | turally, was excess weight. En- | sineers discovered the “skin” or wing covering could be made to | strengthen the wing and reduce the degree of internal bracing re- quired, New Gas Made Before the airplane went big business, propellers had fixed pitches. Maximum efficiency re- quired a low pitch for the takeoff, a high pitch for flying.
