: ‘anson W. Baldwin, writing from for the New York Times, points | | out that it is almost impossible to translate contemplated expenditures in dollars, be- use of national differences in the stand- ard of living, ete., but he says that “if the | United States were to spend proportionate Bridges to complete Road to Main land. Free Port, Hotels and Apartments. Rathing Pavilion. Abports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of Gounty and City Governments. Who wants to live by the side of the. road and hear the noise of the passing cars and trucks! It is our belief that the people, in the long run, will manage to improve the himan race and its institutions without too much dictator leadership, ---- BRRSC Lote Leto or ro oie) ee errr ere) fre Ty aseedenevnabarsaes ee eed ¥ _ The city election which takes place next November is still far off, but more ‘ the uisual.interest is shown at. this stage of the game.

The clause “subject to taxes” covers buck pass- ing to the ‘steenth degree. But apparently there is no remedy except enforcemnt of tax payments, a law in Key West that is “more honored in the breach than the ob- servance.” Golfers of Key West are very in- eensed over the action of the city council in appropriating money of the fund de- rived from golf fees to pay for a commit- tee’s junket to Havana to invite President Bra to the unveiling of the Marti bist As ene golfer stated “a nicely yy i vitation by. letter would have stadia same purpose.” * Under the title Mildred Gilman has a very interesting ar-| ticle in the’ March 26 number of The Gon- dolier. The trip to Key West was made in i Robert Guggenheim’s yacht “Fi- "and Secretary of War Harry was one of the guests. After a of fishing with abundant success, the ty left the yacht in the evening and k in a movie of “love and passion,” @ they were tickled at the “audible of the younger set during the scenes.” That the party had a Mul visit in a romantic set is evi- in the closing words of the article ik to reality!” yey The farad, unit of capacity, for the r capita, its bill for armaments in the ext five years would be about $45,000,-| 000.” : Not only do the British plan a navy ‘large enough to safeguard the islands from, “but enough ships to assure pro-) tection te commerce in the Mediterranean’ and to maintain interests in the Far East, where the naval base at Singapore is about completed. In the air the British seek to be supreme so far as the sky around Eng- land is concerned and to be able to pre- vent any aerial invasion of English shores. Thousands of planes will be constructed and gas masks are being provided for every inhabitant, The army will be strengthened, the nation’s industries gird- ed for war production and immense re- serves of food and materials will be stored against an evil day. It will cost money and add heavy taxation to British citizens. Is it neces- sary? There can be but one answer. Un- less the British are willing to permit Ger- many, Italy and Japan to flout empire in- terests and gradually whittle the empire away, they must conciliate these powers or prepare to battle against them. Ap- parent.y, the statesmen of the empire have been convinced that the price of peace is | too high and that it is cheaper to arm in the hope of avoiding war by convincing the world that the British Empire will fight if necessary. Such:a conviction in certain countries might avoid. precipitate ‘crises that lead to hostilities. The danger period, according to best} Se eens British opinion, is the year 1937 and the winter of 1938. If peace is maintained through these months, the British believe, the empire will be strong enough to meet every challenge. ELECTRICAL NAMES In no other industry has the names of its pioneers taken such a prominent place in its nomenclature as in the electrical in- dustry. Most of the terms used in desig- nating electrical units are derived from the names of early physicists and inven- tors, whose work laid the foundation for the “electrical age.” The unit of electric power is the watt, named for James Watt, the Scottish in- ventor, who lived from 1736 to 1819. The volt, unit of pressure, is named for Count Allesandro Volta, Italian phy- sicist, who made the first electric battery and lived from 1745 to 1827. The ampere, unit of strength, for the French electrician, Andre Maria Ampere, 1775-1836. The ohm, unit of resistance, German electrician George Simon 1784-1854. for the Ohm, Daelish physicist, Michael Faraday, 1791- ¥e The henry, unit of inductance, for the American physicist, Joseph Henry, 1797-1878. Of these terms the most familiar 1s the watt, and its multiple, the kilowatt, which is 1,000 watts, or the equivalent of approximately one and one-third horse- power. it is fitting that the early investi- gators of the mysterious forces of elec- tricity and magnetism should be immortal- ized in the nomenclature of an art which has contributed so much to the well-being of mankind, and whose future possibilities seem almost limitless, Hal Pe it in ie it r He Bee us EL i z i it Hal id va.
