Automobile Highway Is Most Unusual in World Mouroe county, of which Key West, Fla., Is the principal center of popu-lation has Just voted a $300,000 bond Issue for the construction of what will be perhaps the most unusual automo-bile highway in the world. Tbs money will be spent for roads and bridges from Key West to the main-land. The proposition had received the en-thusiastic moral backing of the At-lantic Coast Highway association, which Is urging the completion of a continuous route between Muine and Key West and skirting the Atlantic fur the greater part of the way. The new auto road when completed will be the longest and probably the only extensive automobile road over the sea In the world. At times the motorist will be almost f not actually out of sight of land. He will have the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand and the Atlantic ocean on the other. The scenery is extreme-- ly picturesque. The keys have bean compared to the South Sea islands. They are masses of bright green ver-dure and contuln many coconut groves. The shoals along the route reflect every color of the rainbow from the musses of the coral, the white marl and the brown and green seaweed on the bottom. There are Immense numbers of sea birds brown pelicans, herons, frigate birds and others, and many kinds of fish. The gap between the mainland and Key West was bridged by Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast railroad In 1912. The distance between Home-stead, in southern Florida (at which the railroad oversea extension begins) and Key West Is 128 miles. Of this distance the railroad runs over deep water for 18 miles, the concrete piers In several places rising out of water SO feet deep, though the average depth crossed by the viaducts and steel trestles is considerably less. A large part of the distances be-tween the various keys or islands that form a chain between Key West and the mainland of Florida consist of thoals which have been tilled in with embankments along the railroad rigtU of way. The shoals in the case f the auto route would probably be crossed by bridges, although the automobile road, not obliged to take so direct a route as the railroad, can use the keys to a greater extent Part of the route will lie In Dade county, of which Miami Is the prin-cipal center of population. The Flor-ida Mainland-Ke- y West auto road will form an extension of the Dixie highway leading from Waycross, Ga., down the east coast of Florida, through Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ormond, West Palm Beach and Miami to Royal palm State park, a distance of S19 miles. With completion through to Key West, the distance from Way-cros- s to Key West will be 637 miles, or 1,723 miles by auto road from New York to Key West.

TOWNS THAT SHOW PROFIT Odd Revenues That Relieve the Tsx-paye- re in Various British Municipalities. Many towns are today materially easing their .taxpayers' burdens by means that a few years ago would have been deemed novel and perhaps'' Impracticable. Glasgow, for example, salvages every kind of saleable oddment from Its refuse bins, as much as 20,000 being realised In this way In one year. Further, the corporation saves near-ly 1,000 a year on Its used tram tickets, which are carefully collected and reconverted Into paper. If Glas-gow can make hundreds of pounds In this way London might very well make thousands! But some London boroughs have an tye to economy in other ways. The Marylebone borough council has saved Its taxpayers large sums by collecting and sorting out its household waste. In one recent month the council made 1500 out of what local residents had thrown away. Other metropolitan bor-oug-are following suit. Plymouth owns a theater, the Royal, nd a hotel, which Jointly yield an annual revenue of around about f3,000, while Birkenhead runa Its own ferry service to and from Liverpool. The average gross receipts of the under-taking approximate 130,000 a year, the net profits on which go towards the relief of the taxes. Eace courses are In most Instances a profitable Investment from the point of lew of the borough In which they are located. Doncaster makes an average of 14,000 a year from Its famous course. Yarmouth and Pontefract raise money In a similar way. Still, the fact remains that too many towns neglect the money-makin- g op-portunities In their midst, Instead of exploiting them for the taxpayers' benefit London Tit-Bit- s. Automobile deaths last year amount-ed to 11.660, largely because people re-fuse to mix discretion with their gaso-line. A bull weighing 2,800 pounds crashed through a platform at the live stock show. The first drop in beef In a long time.

KNOW YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER Invite Her Home to That Little David Can Get the Right Im-pression of Her. Many little children are becoming acquainted with their first teacher. They are telling their mothers about her at night Perhaps they refuse to answer questions about her, but they Imitate her In talking to the baby, of In driving the cows home from the pasture, they stng as she does. She Is making them over and they are recording the fact In many ways. Do the mothers know hert Invite her home, mother, and see the young on's pride, as he watches her eat your delicious rolls and baked apples. She seems to like them almost as well as he and father do. The teacher will thereafter aeem different to your son David. She has pat at the family table and has helped mother with the dishes. She is not a faraway person that a boy needs to be. afraid of. She Is like dear Aunt Jane, who comes to the house some-times; a guest the family will always be glad to entertain. Father handed her the paper when mother left to put the last touches to the meal and she told father how Interested the big boys and girls are In the daily paper at school. David wonders how soon he can learn to read well enough to go to the school reading table and read the dally pa-per. He means to work very hard at reading so he can do It before long. When the new teacher ft she told mother how glad she Is te know that David has such a happy hove; when David thanked her that night for In-viting the teacher, mother said: "Mother, at one time, taught school, David, and she bss not forgotten how much better the work went in the dis-tricts where she was invited to the homes." NOVELTY IN STOCKINGS Miss Hortense O'Brien of Holly-wood, Cal., Introduces s novel Idea which may give stocking manufactur-ers something to think about. It is "wrap stockings," using ribbon In the manner that was Introduced by the army wtrp leggings. The "wrnp stockings" are more eeonomlenl than silk stockings In both cost and wear. Indiana Girl Is a Plucky Farmer Miss elmn Hulett, fourteen years old, of Warrick county, Indiana, has been nominated as the Central West's pluckiest girl agriculturist by the Cen- tral States Fanning association. Miss Huh.-t-t has been keeping up her school work and at the same time running a 20-ac- farm, plowing, planting and har-vesting, raising pigs and caring for the cnttle, mules and other stock. It Is formally and officially reported that while breaking d last Velma worked a d mule spring so hard that It dropped dead In harness hetween the furrows-- so she picked up a hoe nnd finished the job all alone. Her father Is a miner. Perhaps that Berlin report that Ger-many Is golflg to get a big Interna-tional loan is based on the German notion that If anything Is said often enough and loud enough It will be so.

Stripe Down Center to Make Paved Road Safer If the road authorities would have a four-Inc- h stripe painted down the center of our concrete pavements it would be of great help to autoists and probably prevent some accidents. A man driving on a twenty-foo- t pave-ment with nothing on his left to guide by, Is always trying to see both sides of the road at once. He wants to keep to the right as far as possible and yet watch the other fellow and see how far the approaching car will miss him. He can't do both at the same time successfully. If he doesn't watch the approach-ing car a reckless driver may lilt him. If he does watch him he may be forced off the pavement, with no chance to nrove who wn In tlis u-ii-a stripe down the center of the pav-ing there Is a much lietter chance of tracking straight and avoiding col-lisions or swerving off the road to keep from getting hit.

Haie you wicker furniture bugs? 11 you hear mysterious noises eomlni from your wicker chair or settee you will know there is a bug working In that piece of furniture. This has been brought to light by the Pennsylvania bureau of plant Industry. They have nicknamed it the "death watch beetle" and It makes a ticking sound at reg-ular intervals for several minutes. When news of this bug was brought out the florists' exchange made an In-vestigation and found that the Insect Is not a new one but has the almost unpronounceable name of "bostry. chidae" and that it Is rather cosmo-politan, living In nearly all kinds of wood throughout the world and Is of no importance except where works ol art, fancy baskets and wicker fuml. ture are attacked, when It makes thi wood brittle. Completion of Highway Celebrated in Virginia The completion of the Virginia state highway between Orange and Madison, known as Itoute No. 16 In the state highway system, was cele-brated by the people of Orange and Madison counties. Members of the Orringe county chamber of commerce nnd a committee representing Madi-son county arranged an old time bas-ket picnic and barbecue on the farm of Mrs. Annie E. Carpenter, near Mad-ison. Music was furnished by a brass hand from Washington, and short were made by residents of Orange and Maillson counties.
