Ramsey, in purchase of an airport site at Marathon, told the board last week he was “mystified” by the failure of city and county receipts to pick up in reflection of increasing pros- perity,. -y & “|. Looking at Key West now With eve one working and money flowing freely, it is difficult to see, Ramsey said, how the col- lections of the county and city could re- main so low. Except for the unfortunate circum- stance that many Key Westers have grown entirely out of the habit of paying taxes, the a mystery. Both city and county appear to be en- tirely out of money at any and all times. Employes of both city and county get their pay months behind, and the ‘practice of selling warrants for their salaries costs them an average of about 10 per cent, sometimes running up as high as 25 per cent. Tf such conditions prevail now—in a time when Key West is more prosperous than at any time in years—the: prospects look dismal for the time when the govern- ment eventually must stop, funneling money into its ‘defense base’hére.’ °'? »County official enenah, are and hae Lond t in arms over ‘expenditures which they feeb make it im- possible for the county ever to get on a cash | basis in its payrolls.

RADIO GUIDES PLANES Experiments with airplanes guided by radio are not new, but their practical, use | for military purposes has not yet been at- tained. Some model planes recently ex- hibited at a championship show in Chicago | performed so amazingly, however, that | army and navy officers believe great pos- sibilities lie ahead. One plane with a six-foot wing-spread was made to taxi onto a runway, wheel and take off, perform figure eights and S-curves at a height of 300 feet, then land safely and taxi before the judges—controlled only by short-wave radio impulses. The performance of this plane made its builder, James Walker of Portland, Ore., national model champion. But there were others which showed almost. equal ver- satility. The model exhibited by Arthur Sieg- fried of Kansas City went up 500 feet, power-dlived to within 30 feet of the ground, then climbed and arched upside- down at 300 feet, landing in a graceful spiral. Another model, spread of 14 feet 10 inches, the largest at the show, executed a perfect loop; one flew two miles-and returned; while still another fave an exhibition of crude smoke writ- ing.

FROZEN FUNDS In April last year the United States Government froze 267 million dollars of funds in the United States that belonged to | ginning of “freezing”—-which was a plan to keep the funds of the invaded countries | from being used by Germany and others. | Today these foreign funds amount’ to | more than 7 1-4 billion dollars.

John Moorehouse.” She read the notice over again, before Henry Pell put one like it in the New York papers, substi- tuting the name Luella for the name Katie. Her eyes filled with tears. She flung the paper aside. Almost angrily she snatched a pad and pencil from her bag. She began to write. “Dear Henry:— “T'll be at the Florida address given below, in ease you find it necessary to communicate with me.
