JOHNSTON Key West, Florida, at the tip many rooted vine; so th end of a series of coral islands or the front door of fhe house can- keys, is the most Southern City in the United States.

A visit into the rear yard of an old house brought us the unusual a large breadfruit tree. Breadfruit trees, originating in city yesterday, and were elated’ Key West is the city reached Southern Asia and the South Sea over the many interesting and unusual things seen. They were especially delighted with the the display at the lighthouse museum, Henry Feldman, who had been in the city for several days visit- ing points of interest and sight- seeing, left on the bus this morn- ing for Miami where he will stop for several days before proceed- ing to New York. Mrs. Joseph Johnson and daughter Faye left over the high- way via Florida Motor Lines for New Orleans where they will spend the summer with relatives and friends. Before returning home they will visit in North Carolina. i from the mainland of Florida by the famous “Highway that Goes to Sea”. The city is one and a half miles wide and four and a half miles long with a population of thirteen thousand. Key West projects it- self into the reality of existence as a hsven of quietude and peace for those that desire tranquility of living for either a brief or lengthy visit, or perchance a life- time. Here in this old interesting city, one may follow the pursuits of literature, of art, and also in- dulge in the lure of deep-sea fish- ing where huge and fighting denizens of the sea abound. A visit to Chester Thompson’s Store of “Marine Curios” is worth while. To delve into the early . history of Key West, is to reveai much of interest, from the time it was ceded to the United States in 1821 and also its reputed fame as a pirate hidbiWdy at one time. It's early s@ttletient by the Spaniards is ifdi¢ated by what remains of old wooden houses anywhere from one hundred to two hundred years old. On Fleming street is one of these old houses with balconies of fretted woodwork said to be two hundred years old. A cool dark garden with overgrown vines surrounds the house. Op posite on the same street is a house sixty-five years old, the front of it a mass of red bougain- villaea. A trip around the tewa with a competent guide will take one from the “turtle crawls” on the Gulf of Mexico to the outdoor aquarium where are seem bright hued tropical fish, and ,where a j huge loggerhead, the turTie that weighs three hundreds pounds, | slowly flips his ‘way around a deep pool. ~ 1 Nearbyt Wy thé 2A Gallery, and a\truly, iti mMayybe,said that thete ‘are many n and corners to { i ~Hure the brush-efthe artistically 10 TIMES AS DANGEROUS “aes ean AT NIGHT AS THEY ARE IN THE DAY TINE?

This tree in Key West, I am told, is the only one in. the United States having the distinction of bearing fruit. This fruit is baked like ordinary bread. The flowers on thetisland are large and abundant in all their luxuriance of tropical beauty, from great masses of bougain- villaea, and red and vari-colored hibiscus to the yellow cantle and airy dark pink oreana. The Key West lighthouse is unusual in te fact that it is sur- rounded by a tropical garden of lovely flowers, an almond tree gives leafy shade, and _ bright colored birds, in a good sized aviary, give much pleasure.

There is now a fine boulevard edged with palms on the Gulf Side of the town. When this is all finished it will make a fine entrance to the city as one glides off the “Sea Highway”. The remarkable engineering feat, of cennecting the keys or islands, one with the other, by a series of wide expanses of open series of bridges over often wide expanses of open sea, is one of the wonders of the world. In 1905 Henry M. Flagler had enstructed a railway over this route from the mainland to Key West. It was opened in 1912 and that was a great day for Key West. The old railroad has given way to the modern highway. Again in “1938 it was a great day when the “Highway that Goes to Sea” was opened. It is a unique experience to travel by auto or bus down to Key hafgo, the first of many coral islands, and then on we go over bridges and keys, with the D.
