Romance plus economic conditions Plus the Selectiye Service Act brought the mumber of marriages in 1940 to more than §500;000.

Men with families complain there is no place available for Shots live, while home owners complain, with peauel.. Nigor that no one will rent their rooms. An example of how little really is known about the local came at the time of the American Legion | convention here, when no.one could” Say. with any degree of certainty whether Key West contained enough rooms to house. call the visitors, It was generally assumed at that time that room would be found someplace—and it turned out that there was plenty ¢ of room for another convention of the same size at the same time. : With the inrush of navy. men here, the same situation has arisen, only more so. No one, including the navy depart- ment, appears to know how many men eventually will be sent here. Navy men who are transferred to Key West have ‘no way of learning if there is room enough,for their families. It is assumed that more housing is needed for more men, but no one knows how much more housing or in what price range. Under the exigencies of national de- fense, the survey probably will be rushed to completion, and there will be for the first time in Key West, an accurate guide to what is here, and what is needed. The city will be foolish, however, if interest in the survey is confined to the navy. Like other tourist cities, bringing the property owner and the renter together.

S. Depart- ment of Commerce has just announced that Hitler is fortifying margerine with livers of whales in order to supply his own Na with the necessary. Vitamin A. Along with this, it is reported that the British food mission, now in, this country | may take advantage of a newly. discovered process by which all the natural anise | of wheat are retained,in flour. Thro the Surgeon General of the U.S. Publi Health Service,.M. Lee, Marshall, seater: Continental Baking Company, who de- veloped the process, has advised the British food mission that if Britain decides to utilize the new process to build up , the health and stamina of her fighting men, he will suspend royalties on the process in England for the entire duration of the war. A secret for centuries, the problem of removing the splintery hull from the wheat | grain without taking away any of the nat- ural nutritive elements of wheat, was fi- nally solved by a mining engineer, Theo- Bread produced under the process, known as “staff,” is at- tracting favorable attention tionists throughout the country.
