Succeeding fire chiefs for years have described the old Sweeney building, where the blaze started, distinct menace. ['robably in a misguided effort to remove an eyesore, one or several persons had started fires in the building on a number as a of previous occasions. ill, in spite of spasmodic efforts to have the building removed, it remained where it was until Sunday morning, when its dried timbers went up in flames and took 1 them the hotel next door. Considering the impossibility of bring- ire the Sweeney fire under control unde almost ideal circumstances—there was tle wind and the building was only a half block from the fire department and a block from fire fighting equipment at the naval station—it is obvious that under other con- ditions some of the city’s remaining fire traps easily could start a fire that would be far more serious. In addition to the fire menace, many of the c’4 buildings in Key West are hazards to health and at ieast one of them, the old Cilizen building, is in danger of caving in on the children who frequently play ‘there. Key West has a rather involved legal rocedure for getting rid of such menaces. Ir the light of the Sunday fire, some action ought to be taken to invoke that procedure and destroy the fire traps. City officials point out that a previous building found Key West coming out second best when William L. Bates was granted a circuit court judg- ment requiring the city to restore his garage, which had been torn down. Never- theless, some of the old buildings must go, ard if the law is too involved it is up to the council to work out a system which will work. THE CLIPPER SHIPS It is just a century since American ship designers began the development of the famous clipper ships, the last of which was For the first time in f the ames of the members of the At- the Benjamin F.

The achievements of the long line of American clipper ships which carried the Stars and Stripes and bore their cargoes over the seven seas are notable in the his- of navigation. These sturdy and yea of the sailing ship to compete with the steamer on long voyages with heavy cargo. Though finally defeated, they delayed the complete victory of steam propulsion for many years. First of the clipper type was the Rain- bow, completed in 18438 at Baltimore, home of a famous fleet of these fast vessels, which often beat the steamers of their day in trans- Atlantic voyages. The quickest crossing of the Atlantic under sail is said to have been that of the Dreadnought, from New York to Ireland in 12 days, in June, 1859. Another famous record was that of the Lightning, built in Boston, which once sail- 0 English miles in seven days. The a ed ng ship on any ocean was 437 miles in 24 hours by the Sovereign of the Seas, dur- ing a voyage between New York and San From the Rainbow to the Benjamin F Packard these speedy clippers served their owners and their country well. They bore eloquent testimony to the genius of American shipbuilders and the seamanship xf American sailors. Their glory is a part »f our national heritage. AT WAR WITHIN NINETY DAYS?
