ENLARGED FORMAT OF ‘THE,‘CITIZEN ~ The enlarged, more attractive and modern form in which The Citizen appears, beginning with the present issue, will be consistently maintained until conditions warrant further ‘ard Breater im- provements in this newspaper and its service to the community. In its enlarged form The Citizen’ carries eight columns to the page, instead of six, as formerly, thus affording sixteen columns more space per issue for additional news matter and incréased ad- vertising space. In order to make this improvement a large expenditure of money was necessary.in the pur- chasing of a new and strictly modern equipment throughout, including a full complement of new type faces and accessories, but The Citizen’s con- fidence in the future of Key West has made this expense a pleasure. The present improvement in The Citizen is in keeping with the constant policy of its owner and publisher always to get out as good a newspaper as times and cozditions warrant. Now that a new day is dawning for Key West, The Citizen is de- termined to make of itself a paper of such genuine merit as to reflect credit upon the community and | do its part in building the beautiful Island City of tomorrow. Many newspapers have come.and gone in Key | jand other soothing, cough-healing | ingredients, go into the making of West since The Citizen launched out upon its career nearly half a century ago. The Citizen management has seen them, in language of the poet, “rise, flourish and decay.” But through the conservative policy originally adopted by The Citi- zen and consistently adhered to. for. more than forty-six years, this newspaper has enjoyed a successful career, never ceasing in its endeavors to zealously render for the people of Key West: and Monroe county a faithful, loyal and efficient service. THE SAFETY CONFERENCE The National Safety Conference has been | * called by Secretary Hoover to meet again at Wash- ington March 23 to consider the increasing num- ber of automobile accidents. A very wide range of organizations and people are to be represented in this meeting, including automobile-clubs com- mercial associations, labor unions, educators, etc. * This is a hard proposition, because it calls for some fundamental changes in human nature. The American ppople have a streak of carelessness running through them. “Take a chance” is a fa- vorite motto The results of this” spirit ‘are’ seen at every turn. The enormous fire loss from which the country suffers is an example. The results of this carelessness were not so apparent in the days before autonidbiles. ” if peo- ple took chances then, they got hurt themselves, but they did not commonly hart anyone else. But when these people who take chances were turned loose on the streets with a high power automobile, then this spirit became a public.menace, resulting in a constant succession: of the most be sa accidents. To reduce these accidents to small proportions, would take a considerable change in human nature. It will be “necessary to begin with children in the schools and try to educate them into more cautious ways. Considering the perils of ‘thee tinles, it is necessary to do. so. ‘S: Strict laws and regulations governing motor traffie will help a lot. If drivers lost their licenses or are denied the use of their cars for a period of time, they usually learn that they must curb their chance taking spirit, and pay some attention to the rights of the public. There are many persons | without any caution or prudence in their nature, | and people of that type are not fit to be let loose | on the-highways of Florida with a machine like an automobile. THE MONTH OF WINDS. March is reputed the month of wind. It may not be so in all climates, but over a. good part of | this country it is a time when Mr. Wind kicks up his heels, with very slight reverence for men’s hats, ladies’ skirts, and the reserved manners of sedate people generally. Scme folks not quite accustom¢d to outdoor ways, never can get used to the wind. « He buffets their faces and tears their hair, and does not seem adapted to the ways of polite society. But a bright and windy day blows the fog | and haze out of the atmosphere, clear shining sunlight streaming in on you, which should promote health. Perhaps if some of us were not so vain over our headgear, and wore hats or caps that could be pulled down over the head and stay on easily, we would welcome these bright and cheering days, when the air is sparkling with its clarity, and every breath gives.a new draft of vigor. Take this old world up one side and down the | other and you'll never hear tell of a newspancr anywhere that was started for spite but what turned out to be a dismal failure.
