No other city in the world is so named. It is x distinctive name that has been noted on maps circulated in every nook and corner of existence. folks speak. of the globe long before the majority other Florida cities came into Mention Key West anywhere immediately know whereof you Ameritéa’s soutnernmost city that com- mands the gateway to.the Gulf of Mexico arKey West! *-- So it is but natural for Key Westers | to want to preserve the name of their city and to keep it-on the :niap; They know that now it is definitely slated on every road map issued by every tour, travel and automobile agency. It is the end of Fed- eral Route No, 1—or, rather, the starting point of a giational highway that extends to the northern tip of Maine. The | pletion of the road bridges from the main- land insured that designation. Discussion of a name for the Overseas Highway linking Key West with the main- land has been rife for some weeks. It has | been a matter of comment in these columns. Many names have been suggested. It seems to be the general desire to have the high- way so distinctivly named it can be mis- taken for none other. That being the case, why not’ have the new name include the only distinctive word available—‘‘Key West’? It is‘not so. im- portant what word or words should pre- cede or follow the words “Key West’, but it is important to designate it as the Key , West highway. However, and regardless of our | opinion, or of the opinion of other news- | papers and cities, the final decision in | naming the highway is one that rightfully | belongs to the Overseas Road and Toll | Bridge Commission. We believe the mem- | bers of that commission are competent to | handle this matter, but we feel that they should listen to the voices of the public which are vitally interested in this mat- ter. j and A SAF ETY PLEDGE Safety organizations throughout the country have long made appeals to motor- ists in an effort to promote the habit of careful driving, to the end that the ap- palling loss of life through preventable ac- cident may be reduced. Unfortunately, these appeals seem to fatalities and injuries in automobile acci- dents reached new high figures. effort for safety must go on, in the hope that some good may result. A recent pamphlet contains this pledge, to which every motorist might well subscribe: 1. IE will obey all the rules of safe driving all of the time. 2. IT will deny the use of my ear to | anyone who forgets even a part of those | rules a part of the time. The Citizen, published in Key West | 3.

Patrol boat 132..was dispatched from, , Key West at 11 o'clock this morn; ‘ing to gg.in search of the missing vessels, and to. join the Kimball, ; flagship of the fleet, which will) ‘also, join in the search. They are | equipped, with radio instruments and reports are momentarily ex- ; pected at the local coast guard ‘office, where the opinion is ex- ; pressed that the vessels have | either run aground or are making {much slower time than was an- j ticipated. Brief radio reports re- ceived yesterday were to the ef- fect that the “Bonnie” had about ‘200 sacks of liquor on_ board. The vessel had been cautured by the Kimball and turned over to., the picket boat to be towed in to port. With ordinary speed the vessel would have reached Key | West 9 o’cloek last night. | The.

PINE TO THE FIRSF CUSTOMER | Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken altogether to the highway’s open- ing, Mr. Golden believes. Editorial comment: For long the city has depended the barracks diamond for their baseball games. This has never been adapted to public use. Yet because this was available and could be used as a makeshift, too on nm nothing has been done to provide a really suitable place for public | contests. The National Guard unit is to hold its final drill this evening preparatory to its final inspection which is scheduled for tomorrow night. First Lieutenant Wm. V. Albury, who is in command since the resignation of Captain Melvin E. Russell, states that every man is expected to be on hand both tonight and tomorrow night. One ot the two navy amphi- bian planes which took off from here Sunday for Hampton Roads, was forced down by engine trou- ble at Summer Beach, near St. Augustine. Captain Howard, in command of the plane, reported to the naval station that none of the equipment nor the_personnel were injured. Anthony Ellis Silver,, horse \trainer of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Miss Catalina Crespo, of Santiago de las Vagas, were married yes- terday in the office of Judge Hugh Gunn, Liquor worth not far from $50,- 000 was brought here yesterday afternoon aboard the auxiliary sloop which was captured Tues- |day by the Coast Guard at Shark River. The sloop did not arrive until long after she was expected to come in due to. the failure of her. engines shortly after the trip to port was begun with three coast guardsmen on board. Log- al customs officials this morning stored 686 sacks‘ of Scotch and Canadian rye liquors found an board the vessel: when she was captured. The sloop was the Seminole, which had changed her name to the Bornie The liquor, it was said, would retail at $10 the quart, making its value about , $48,000. The sloop is worth about ' $10,000.

The delegation from Key West to attend the Tamiami Trail cele- bration next week will include Robert Austin, Senator Wm. H. Malone, Judge Jefferson B. Browne, Ben. D.

The committee is compos- ed of David Z. Filer, chairman; Charles O. Forsberg, treasurer; Sam E. Harris, John Albury and Frank (Pilot) Roberts. It is ex- pected that because Mr. Harris has been a resident of Coconut Grove that some one else will be elected to fill his place. Inas- much as Mr. Filer has announced that he will be a candidate for the clerk of the circuit court, it is expected he will resign from the position, The Island City.

She demanded that the government pay her $200,000 because her son died from drinking poisoned li- quor. The government poisoned the liquor and so it should pay she says. The fact that the gov ernment marked the alcohol “poi- son” and that it was against the law for her son to drink it, should not be considered at all, of course. Major Richard Donevan, of the U. S. Army, will arrive tomor- row for the purpose of holding the annual inspection of the Nat- ional Guard unit. He was preced- ed here this morning by Major C. T.
