A Modern City oer, ne “AIR DEFENSE “100 aunr* AS GOOD” Rear Admiral William B. Blahdy, chief of the Naval Bureau of Ordnance, s says thet our modern battleships, which bristle ‘with anti-aircraft defense, have new guns which burl sixty times as much metal as did the ships before Pearl Harbor and, with bet- ter fire control devices and explosive shells, are “100 times as good.” He cited the case of a battleship which was credited with shooting down 32 Jap planes in 30 minutes and another instance where a medern battleship, attacked by 80 to 40° plates, shot down between ore-fourth and one-half. Gunfire was so terrific, he stated, that some of the Jap planes jettisdn- ed their bombs before reaching the ship, turned tail and flew home. While admitting that a battleship may sink, after being hit by’an armer piercing bomb, the Admiral expressed his confi- dence that the American Navy will suffer no Prinee of Wales or Repulse disaster. He said ship defenses and aerial protection could beat off any Japanese attacks. The Admiral’s views reveal the great impvovement made in protecting warships fvom ceria) attacks through the develop- ment of increased anti-aircraft fire. This is not so remarkable when one recalls that, war began, our Navy possessed ip built for modern warfare. lly all our big ships were of the era first World War. It may also be surmised from what the Admiral stated that the fleet in the Far East has been tremendously reinforced, with the Lest o: our baitleships in service. The prob- ability is that most cf the Washington class are under Admiral Halsey and it is not*be- yond the possibility that one of our newest 45,060-tcn battleships is withim fighting tange cf the Japanese fleet. . rracti of the Letters from readers are welcomed.

Comparatively it has more automobile acci- dents, more murders and more minor crimes, but in the consumption of liquor Key West has Miami beaten to a frazzle. The Miami district's consumption was upped b~ only 8.18 per cent. while Key West showec a gain of 151.04. That’s showing ’em! STEW IN HIS OWN SWEAT Who is the man who complains the | most if John Jones turns out to be a wish) washy public official? Who is the man who | eries to high heaven if his city increases its bonded indebtedness? Who is the man who fumes and curses if changes are made in | his.city charter that don’t meet with his approval? $ H He is the man, the same hombre in each case, who didn’t bother to go to the polls when J. J. was running for office, who didn’t bother to vote in the bond election, who | wouldn’t step out ofhis groove of comfort | and cnvenience to attend a meeting at which the proposed changes in the charter were :) be discussed.

By publication, much the same way that service is obtained on defendants be- yond, er supposedly beyond, the jurisdic- tion of a court. As Mr. Papy remarked, “If they don't read the proposed changes, then they’ve got | nobody else to blame but themselves when the changes become law.” But will they blame themselves? Oh, no! If you are familiar with this particular quirk of human nature, you know that the man who will kick up the most hullabaloo | is the one who would not bother his precious self to attend the meetings or to read the | proposed changes, The thing to do, you Key Westers who | take an interest in your city’s affairs, when | | you hear this fellow (many of us are him), | his face red and veins in his neck swollen, | giving vent to his feelings in a crashing tirade, stand quietly by and let him stew ir: | his own sweat. | | The ways of mankind demonstrate very | plainly that it does not take much hokum | te elate the vanity of men or women.
