man, and his companions have ar
rived at Vigia, Brazil, mfe and

In flying from Paramaribo, a
week ago Sunday, they passed
over Cayenne, French Guinea,
and after this, all trace was lost
of them until yesterday when news
was received that they had been
landed at Vigia Sunday night from
a fishing boat, which picked them
up after they had descended in
rough weather at the Island of
Maraca off the Brazilian coast.
The plane had run short of gas
■*rg to buffeting bad weather
One fishing boat took the aviators
aboard, while another towed the
plane to the island of Maraca, 300
miles noith of Vigia and a fchort
distance from the mouth of the
Amazon River.
The voyage from Maraca to
Vigia consumed six days owing to
headwinds. For three days, the
boat was out of sight of land.

CABARET AT CORAL ISLES CASINO
SATURDAY NIGHT BRILLIANT EVENT
The Cabaret, put on as an open
ing event by Coral Isles Casino
i Saturday evening was one of the
notable affairs of the summer sea
son, about two hundred people
having attended, and the manage
ment has since been receiving
constant congratulations and com
| plinients upon the success of this
function.
The casino, which is literally at
| the threshold of the ocean, was in
deed an ideal spot for dancing Sat
urday evening, with its spacious
open-air dance floor, its broad
balcony overlooking the sea, and
its myriad lights, softened into a
colorful glow by the use of gay
oriental lanterns. The moon hung
above the Gulf like a giant lan
tern, itself, tinging the landscape
with silvery brightness and making
a shimmering path across the
water that was indescribably beau
tiful. Tne interior of the casino
I wps effectively decorated with
I bowls of roses and fern, and the
attractive color-scheme, coral-rose
and was emphasized in all the
furnishings,
. A nine-piece orchestra furnished
music, which was the ultimate
{word in dance tempo. Features of
the musical program were songs
rendered by Pat Murphy, member
jof a musical-comedy company now
showing at the Ran Carlos Theatre,
and known as “The Ukclele King.”
■Mr. Murphy entranced all with his
rendition of a ukelele number and
was forced to respond to an en
core with n similar song, to guitar
;rrcompaniment. Jack Walden,
known already to the frequenters
of Coral Isles Casino as “Red”
and recognized by his fellow or
c lcstramen as its leading comedian,
appeared in Spanish ehawl and
“sombrero” and with typical ges
ture executed the latest conception
of the Charleston. His mastery
of' its intricate figures and gym
nast ical steps was especially good,
end his gay shawl and rather ab
breviated headgear served to lend
an air of burlesque, peculiarly
apropos in a city where the Span
ish influence is the dominating
one.
The use of aerpent'nes, fantastic
caps and rtriped horns, served to
lend a carnival note to the dnnee,
bringing to mind the cabarets of
northern cities where one may
“shake a wicked foot” between
courses until the wee sma' hours.
Fruit punch artd cakes were
served throughout the evening, the
punch bowl being arranged upon
a table at the head of the dance
floor and there dancers were re
freshed by this cooling beverage,
whi* h was served by two maids to
facilitate that detail of hospitality.
Among those noted at this func
tion were (’apt. and Mrs. Mc-
Neely, commandant of the 7th
Naval District; (’apt. and Mrs.
I.indsley, and others of the local
Naval Station, their uniforms
lending a military air to the.other
v i <> informal atmosphere; Sena
tor and Ms. W. M Malone. Judge
and Mrs. Jrfferson B. Browne,
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Gato, Mr. and
Mrs. Sebastian Cabrera, Mr. Mal
low and Dr. and Mrs. Gwynne
were among those who entertained
parties at this affair. The Pirates
* bib attended the cabaret in a
body, about twenty members of
th>s organisation h*>ing present.
This event an innovation
with iegaid to one detail of its
conduction, and that was the ab
sence of non eligibtes. The casino
' ns policed both inside and out,
end the usual gathering of out
riders who ap| ear at almost every
thing of a semi public nature in
Key West, accompanied by small
children and taking up available
eating space were thus effective
ly eliminated, and the affair was,
to a certain extent, exclusive. If
is the intention of the management
to protect its patrons from contact
with those who may not he de
sirable, and its firm purpose to
maintain it as a place where one
may go for relaxation and recrea
' tion, secure in the knowledge that
it will be clean jtnd orderly.„

Wqi TDest Citizen
NOISE *
* ¥
(From Miami Herald) *
j *
****************
In many ways Miami is growing
to be a more staid and civilized
city. We are none of us, of course,
absolutely civilized, and when we
say Miami is becoming more civil
ized we simply mean that the city
is rapidly adjusting itself to the
conditions brought about by rapid
growth and the assimilation of
many new people.
But there are still many things
to do before we can make life ab
solutely comfortable and easy in
the city. Among the things that
ought to receive attention is the
amount of noise that it seems some
people think necessary to enable
them to get along.
Miami is altogether too noisy
a city, even if we are building
largely and rapidly and even if
we have not solved all the prob
lems incident to s reet traffic.
It is hardly possible, of course,
to eliminate the loud chatter of
the pneumatic riveters that make
life almost unendurable in the
vicinity of the many new buildings
that are being constructed. No
means have ever been devised tlTat
would lessen the nerve-racking
noises incident to construction,
and we would not have construc
tion stopped for any reason
whatever.
But there are a lot of noises that
could be and should .be eliminated.
Automobile diivers are among
the worst offenders. The driver
who needlessly blow's his horn con
tribu es to the city noises an ele
ment that is particularly annoying.
There is seldom occasion for the
use of the horn. It is an emer
gency instrument and should be
used in emergencies only.
Then the. driver w’ho operates
his machine with the cut-ou open
is a particular obnoxious offender.
Perhaps the huge truck cannot be
operated without an open muffler,
and the grind ng of the gears and
the noise of the wheels and all that
ought to indicate that those ma
chines should he operated at a
slow’er gait, so that they would not
be so noisy ns they are at pres
ent.
Trdcks, heavily loaded with iron
and steel, ought to be compelled
to use some sort of padding for
their loads that would eliminate a
particularly aggravating kind of
noise.
And so on through quite a Pst
of no’se-producing instrumentali
ties that could be modified or abol
ished.
There is a solid reason for at
tempting to maintain as little noise
as possible in the city in the effect
noise has upon the nerves of the
people. Life at best is strenuous
and many men and women wear
out before their time because of
the high .enston at which they are
compelled to live. Noise adds to
that tension and aside from the
comfort that a quiet city would
afford, is the ques ion of health
and longer life for all.
if people who produce the noise
would have consideration for
those that live about them much
of the vexatious things that occur
every day should be eliminated and
life would be hnppiar and freer
than it now is.
