Le | «~~» One way to achieve popularity is to ligtéh attentively to tiresome people—if you Garé to pay such a price. cw A military road to Key West is a need- ed adjunct to the Naval Station—now is the time for its securement. Every profession is judged by the opinions that are expressed by members who talk about their associated workers. Under present custom it is fast becom- ing the prerogative of a widow to succeed lier husband in office, whether she is quali- fied or not. Senator James F. Byrnes, South Caro- tina Democrat and Attorney Robert F. daekson, have received their reward for faithful service tothe Administration. Both ardent New Deiléts, of course. Protective restrictions appear to be very JAX at our military camps. The writer walk- ed all over Fort Bragg the other day, could have taken notes and photographs had he so desired. Try doing that in any European country, even in peace times. Perhaps nature is such that we must every so often have marital outbreaks and martial outbreaks. It seems we cannot go on long without either or both breakng out. As for the marital serap they, like the thunder showers, clear and refresh the at- mosphere. A’ Tennyson puts it: “And bles- sings on the falling out that all the more endears,” @& : Fiftyssix species.cf termites are known to it the U MBfates. Of these fif- teen are found in Florida. Don't mistake any of these for flying ants, which are only half as long as termites, have thin wasp- like waists, and short wings extending only slightly below the body. Termites have straight waists, and are thick and well- rounded. Their wings are long and nar- row, and extend far below their bodies. If they were not exterminated or controlled, their number would be in time so great they would devastate the entire world, There may be a purpose in their ereation, but this writer wouldn't know. it will not publish anonymous communi- } A SPARK COULD DO IT Danger of a fire on one of Overseas Highway’s wooden bridges last February | had worried residents of the upper keys to | a point where a delegation of them request- ed county cmmission to appoint another | road patrolman, whose duties would in- | clude keeping a constant check on the sup- ply of fire buckets. Some of the key residents at that time _ | had made a brief inspection of the bridges and discovered that many of the fire buckets | slight protection to the inflammable pieces ! mainland. | by the resignation of Ray Maloney in the middle of a controversy over his appoint- ment between county commission atid Sheriff Berlin Sawyer, while one of local history’s worst droughts has been increas- ing the fire menace constantly. Although the danger of fire on the bridges makes a fine argument for improve- nents to Overseas Highway and the con- struction of all concrete spans, it shouldn’t be necessary to stage a demonstration for Washington’s road department by letting one of them burn up. The federal government, ean solve the problem by improving the road. County commission could help solve it by securing one or two more men to patrol the bridges. Recognizing the ponderous qualities of governments, both federal and county, how- ever, residents of Key West and the keys will obviate some of the danger of isolating themselves by taking every possible precau- tion to prevent a blaze from starting. Remember, your travel, your groce- bridges. Dried out as they are now, a cig- arette might do the trick of destroying one. SQME VICE-PRESIDENTS Few Americans, perhaps, would be able to tell off-hand how many vice-presi- dents of the United States afterward be- came president, and for the benefit of any who might be interested, we may recall that there were nine. They were, in order, John Adams, Jef- ferson, Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, John- son, Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, and Cool- idge. The first three were elected presi- dent after serving terms as vice-president, while the remaining six became president upon the death of the chief executive with whom they were elected. John Adams served two terms as vice- president under President Washington; was elected president in 1796, but was de- feated for re-election in 1800 by his own vice-president, Thomas Jefferson. In fact, ceiving 65 electorial votes, while Jefferson election was thus thrown into the House of Representatives, and Jefferson was elected, Burr becoming vice-president under the system then in effect. Martin Van Buren was vice-president during the secémd term of President An- } | | presidency in 1887. Van Buren was de- | feated for re-election in 1840; defeated for nomination for president in 1844, and nomi- | nated but defeated in 1848. Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur merely served out the unexpired terms of their predecessors, although Fillmore tried | for an additional term and failed. | Theodore Roosevelt and Calvin Cool- idge were elected president in their own right after serving out the unexpired terms of their dead predecessors, McKinley and Harding. ANDREW JACKSON HOUSTON The presence of \Andrew \JheRson Houston in the United States Senate, repre- | senting the State of Texas, reminds the peo- ple of the United States of the historic events connected with the Lone Star State. Mr. Houston is the eighty-six-year-old son of General Sam Houston and the oldest person ever to be sworn in as.2 member of the U. 8. Senate. He took his seat in Con- gress a little more than 118 years after his father became a member of the House from the State of Tennessee in 1823.
