In the course of time these requests | | are transmitted to the local chamber and |-to city and county officials. | time the chamber has been printing and | distributing small quantities ! answering tourist questions and giving the of booklets principal facts regarding the city and the commitinity life here.

There is no surer way to kill interest in Key West than to ignore the demands for information because of an in- ability to meet them. Any advertising un- dertaken by the Overseas Road and Toll | Bridge district will emphasize the beauti- ful trip to Key West via the Overseas High- way. Key West must be prepared to | publicize the city’s attractions and _ its | proximity to Cuba, which is the focal point of much national tourist attention. If the northern traveler knows he can reach Key | West over the most beautiful highway in the world and realizes he can get to Cuba | in an easy jump across the Florida Straits, he will drive to this city in preference to leaving for Havana at Tampa or Miami or Jacksonville. Key West must follow up the interest already created throughout the country by proper advertising and publicity. ECLIPSES, RELIGION AND SCIENCE The eclipse of the moon, which occur- | red yesterday, illustrates the progress that human beings have made in the under- | standing of natural events. Before the dawn of astronomical science, eclipses were not understood and, consequently, in Rome, at one time, it was blasphemy and punishable by law, to talk publicly of their being due to natural | causes. The Qhifiede,!ViiPi1is recorded, were caused’ by, great dr4gans trying:to: devour the sun and moon and ar piper pri aid like 2,000 years .twe (state astronomers were put to death on the occasion of a solar eclipse because they were drunk and, therefore, incapable of attending to their duties. Fortunately, for human beings, the study of astronomy has revealed the causes of eclipses which can be predicted with accuracy for mariy years ahead of their occurence. No longer do men_ attribute them to supernatural powers and, among no occult influences are suspected. While the intelligence that has been acquired by human beings has robbed eclipses of their supernatural aspect, there is, so far as we ean judge, no lessening of respect for the Creator of the Universe. In fact, an understanding of the laws of nature should increase the reverence of an educated mind. There was, we suppose, in an earlier day, a conflict between religion and science in regard to eclipses. Happily, this con- flict has been dissolved by the truth as re- vealed to men, with no lessening of reli- gion as a result. Between 400 and 500 cities in the past few years have adopted ordinances pro- hibiting soliciting or door-to-door selling. An ordinance prohibiting door-to-door sell- ing, without a license, better known as peddling, could be profitably adopted in .
