"Mayor Albury~ said today that he looked forward to Mr. Hillson’s visit with a great deal of satis- faction. “It is my belief”, the Mayor said, “that next summer will witness a building boom in the city—much more so than any- one thinks”. In a long distance call this; morning, Mr. Hillson stated that he was very much interested in the prospects Key West has, and that other FHA officials have: been behind him to. give Key West every opportunity to secure these loans that is possible. Very few FHA loans have been nego- tiated in the past, Mr. Hillson said, In the meeting he will ex- plain in detail all phases of the loans, which are available for homes, apartments, and other kinds of structures. MAY GET RAINBOWS IN YOUR LIGHT BULBS (iy Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.—The} electric light of the future: wiil change colors at the turn of.a switch. This is one of the tricks of tel- lurium vapor, now only a labora- tory curiosity, described in the Journal of the Franklin Institute. Tellurium is a non-metallic chem- ical element, one of the 92 pri- mary substances forming earth, sun and other planets. It’s a cousin of sulphur and of- ten is found in small quantities in gold and silver. It is used for coloring glass and porcelain and for some electrical apparatus. But J. W. Marden. N. C. Beese and George Meister have @vel- oped an electric light by placing a little tellurium in a bulb where it will vaporize when the current is turned on. Tellurium melts at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, so that it is easy to produce the vapor. Through this vapor an electric eufrent will fiow just as through @ filament making the vapor glow brilliantly The peculiarity is that tellurium vapor changes from blue-white to yellow to bright bold as the heat rises with an increase of electric current NOTICE MEETING at Chamber Office 7:30 P.

The Old and New”, but | other information and elab- | | oration included is from re- | putable sources. Around 1835 Indian hostilities | in Florida and on the Keys were! } especially fierce. Major Dade, who was in com- ; mand of the army post at Key West, left with his entire com- jmand for Tampa, and, arriving there, attempted to march to Fort ;King. The Indians ambushed them and at their first fire killed jevery officer. The command of 115 officers and men were mas- sacred. But one escaped. This was in 1836. ‘The same year the Indians at- tacked the family of William ; Coolie at New River, murdering |his wife and three’ children and Joseph Piititon, ; children’s tutor! }.. There weré’ about 300 “Indians in south Florida ‘at'this time and such was the fear of an attack that 200. fugitives ‘came’ ‘to Key West from the atea between New | River to Cape Florida and along the Keys. The famous frigate “Constitution” and the sloop-of- war “St Louis” were both brought to Key West to defend the people. Selfishness Brings Unprotection At Indian Key there was a large number of residents. The nearest army group was at Tea Table Key, where was also estab- lished a naval depot. Captain Houseman and the citizens of In- dian Key had repeatedly petition- ed the federal government to es- tablish the troops at their Key, which was populated. It is said that certain prominent citizens of Key West, who owned Tea Table Key, exerted their political influ- ence and caused the troops to be stationed there to raise the value of their property. This has al- ways been the history of Key West’s influential citizens, who selfishly look out for their own interests, at the sacrifice o ers. It has been the case w men of power everywhere. but it is believed that Key West has been afflicted more than most places. Two Indian spies were captured on Lignum Vitae Key and a Span- iard on Indian Key. The proposed Indian attack was revealed. Feel- ing against the Key Westers who kept protection away from In- dian Key rose on that island to ¢Continved on Page Three) who was. the! tion. A quick tour of the city follow- members hurried back to the S. S. Cuba, which left at 10 a. m. BURRELL LOWE Word has been received in the city announcing the death of Bur- tell C. Lowe, 50, Sunday morning at 6:40 o’clock in Jackson Me- morial Hospital in Miami. Fun- eral services will be held in Mi- ami Tuesday afternoon at 3 clock. Survivors are: His widow, Mrs. Hazel Lowe, Miami; mother, Mrs. Matilda Lowe; three sisters, Mrs. Corinne Jerman, Key West, Mrs. Beulah Page, Coconut Grove, and Mrs. Ethna Britt, Orlando.

He was immensely happy as a real professional soldier who had worked his way to a major- ship in the Tenth Hussars. | But that’s all changed. No long- | er is the duke unrecognized when jhe appears in public. The duke goes here, the duke goes there, and the great white light of pub- licity beats on him almost as bril- liantly as it does on the king. It all started when Edward walked out, leaving the royal family short-handed. Every re- maining man was expected to do his duty. So Gloucester (pro- nounced Gloster with the “o” as in Oscar) and the Duke of Kent were compelled to drop every- | thing and take some of the royal chores off the new king's heavily- laden shoulders. Gloucester is third in line of succession to the throne. He fol- lows Princess Elizabeth and Prin- cess Margaret Rose, daughters of the king and queen. Had Tasted Fame For Gloucesier, who loved the army and prided himself on being the only member of the royal family with a “regular job”, it was a tough break He knew what he was getting into, for he had had a taste of it when the late King George V be- came seriously ill in 1929. News of the illness, incidental- ly, reached Gloucester, who is the king’s third son, while he was deep in the African jungle on a hunting trip. His homeward dash made him almost as much of a front page figure as his ailing father. During the king's convalescence Gloucester went to Tokyo for him and bestowed the order of the Garter on the Japanese emperor. That was in the balmier days of Anglo-Japanese relations.

He's a fine figure of a man—a six-footer with broad shoulders— with a Germanic cast of counten- ance. He has a quick mind and a-keen wit. He was educated at | Eton and at Trinity College, Cam- bridge. He joined the 10th Royal; Hussars (the Prince of Wales’ Own) in 1921. A Royal Puppet He has been mentioned several times for the governorships of South Africa or northern Ireland, but he has stuck to his soldiering His enthusiastic interest in sports and an outdoor life was the common ground on which he met and in 1935 married Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Scott, 36-year- old daughter of a wealthy old Scotch family. They have no chil- dren. They settled down in the royal pavilion at Aldershot and he con- tinued his military studies at the staff college. He was a popular of- ficer and well on the way t6 com- mand of his regiment when the shifting royal scene forced him to leave the army. Now he’s back in London, liv- ing in York House, going places with the duchess except in recent weeks when a minor operation forced her to take a rest Henry is a royal puppet once once LOVERING IN NEW POSITION Frank W.

In talking to Captain Manuel Herrera of the 18C662 yesterday about the rescue, the captain volunteered this information.
