In the hands of a private promoter, it isn’t particularly larcenous and the legion might see if the same idea could be worked here. If a promoter who felt in the mood for cleaning ran into a small city in the same aood, he would arrange a general clean- up of the neighborhood with city officials and merchants participating. For each piece of junk, tin can, bottle or pound of old papers or rags, the cleaner woald issue a coupon which, at the end of the campaign, was good for a prize donated by one of the | merchants, It was alright with the store owners, because they paid nothing except the prize and enjoyed a good deal of publicity as the donors. City trucks usually were offered to help pick up the junk and transport it to the clean-up headquarters where the pro- moter stacked it in highly — satisfying pile. Of course everyone wondered why the good stranger bothered to do so much for a so little, but he usually came out of it fairly well. The citizens won prizes, the town was cleaned up, the merchants had adver- tising—and the promoter sold the junk. Seriously, Key West coud improve its appearance a great deal by a concerted ef- fort to pick up all the junk and old papers scattered in streets and yards. The larger ' part of the city’s beautification—painting and rebuilding of old houses—is going ahead to the tune of the highest building permit records in 20 years. The smaller part of a.general rubbish | clean up ought to be carried out, even if | the convention were not coming.

But going around the world is generally understood to mean | any passage around the earth between the two poles. How the time required for this feat has | been reduced is strikingly illustrated by the fact that Magellan’s ship Victory, the first | to cireumnavigate the globe in the accepted sense, took three years lacking 12 days for iis voyage, 1519 to 1522. Drake made it in 1,052 days, some- Cavendish ir 1856 sailed from Plymouth, England, and returned in 781 days. Then challenged by Jule Verne’s book, “Around the World in 80 Days,”’ Nellie Bly, a newspaper woman, went around the world by boa.t and train in 72 days in 1899. The next year George Francis Train did the etunt in 67 days. Other records ranging around 40 days were made in the succeed- ing years before the advent of the air- plane. In 1927 Linton afta Wells, employing train, pons and airplane, completed the circuit in 2 days. In 1928 Mears and Collyer are the time to 24 days; the dirigible Graf Zeppelin in 1929 cut the record to 21 days. Then came the real record-breaker. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty in 1931 made the trip by airplane in 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. The speediest world flight of all time was made by Wiley Post, one-eyed flying alone, in 7 days, 18 hours nutes, in 1933. And that’s some- globe shoot aviator, and 49 minutes, thing for other to girdlers at.
