Many communities smaller than this have two or three such ambu- lances, and the need of such service in Key West is strikingly apparent at frequent intervals. While it is true that there is always an auto- mobile handy whose owner gladly allows its use in ease of emergency, it must be remembered that “people stricken seriously ill or painfully injured should not be chugged down in the rear of an auto- mobile, for the position’ in which they are placed may have a great deal to do with their recovery. They should have an ambulance, with a comfortable | place to rest easily with room for attendants about them, It has been suggested that the City of Key West should purchase an emergency ambulance, since it could also be used for a patrol car, and have it stationed at the city hall with an officer, the city jailer, the call policeman, or some one qualified to handle the vehicle, on duty and ready to respond to calls at all times. Through city ownership of the ambulance the police would have a splendid patrol car and the | city would have an efficient emergency ambulance always ready to serve suffering humanity ‘instead | of burning gas for the pleasure of a few individ- uals. . The city council could not spend money for a more worthy purpose, ‘andthe council members should not hesitate for a moment to authorize the appropriation of the amount necessary to purchase the ambulance and install the equipment, for in that way they would relieve one of the city’s great- est needs and at the same time put Key West in line with other progressive citiés of its sine in this regard. NEWSPAPERS (Hollywood News) Even Vanderbilt could not keep his ‘newspa- pers going when they ran into adversity; There are few other business enterprises that lose. money as rapidly as newspapers when they are ‘ poorly managed. If John D. Rockefeller, Jr., should ‘at- tempt to print a newspaper—to manage it himself just as Cornelius Vanderbilt did, it would»require a lot of money from Standard Oil coffers. :to meet the. losses. Wea RE wee ~ The following is from the editorial column of the Florida M. ing State: Lieve tat “Young’ Mr. Vanderbilt’s loss of all his news- papers in a demonstration of the difficulty and in- tricacy of the business of newspaper publishing, rather than a reflection upon the. man’s ability. The fact of the matter is that he had had insuffi- ciént training to assume so great s responsibility. Tt was easy enough for him to finance his news- paper projects—his name was a certain lure for eapital—but the very promptness with which the public confided, its money to him: made apparent success far too easy. A newspaper is a peculiarly sensitive business, It can be excedingly profitable but when it starts to lose money it can absorb cash with amazing speed. The late lamented New York Globe was said to have ¢ost its owner‘a million dol- lars a year. Vanderbilt's problem now will be to save his former employees and his stockholders from loss, We believe he will make an honest and strenous effort to do this.” The newspaper game is an attractive one, it carries with it a “lime-light appeal,” ‘and it looks easy to laymen who do not understand its various difficulties. The average newspaper reader, turn- ing the pages, does not understand that it required an immense amount of intelligent labor to produce the sheets he holds in his hands. It looks easy to him. Many of this class have bought newspaper properties and immediately found out that the pub- Neation of a newspaper is an arduous and grinding task. WHAT IS NEWS? Managing Editor H. J. Smith, of the Chicago News, defined news recently in an address to the Illinois Federation of Women’s clubs. It is “synthetic food” he said, “delivered to satisfy a great human hunger.” Also, “it indifferent.” Mr. Smith rightly speaks of news as satisfying There is something in human | nature that wants to see development, progress, | a humap hunger. something different. The work done by most people is more or less monotonous. But the newspaper comes along and | brings into our monotonous experiénce, a view of i the | the unusual, the significant, the meanful, dramatic, and the extraordinary.

STEWART | NEA Service Writer ASHINGTON — Transforming ( h estigation of senatorial 7 y election expenses into an Anti-Saloon League “probe” wi ‘one of the most remarkable achieve- ments of Senator James A. Reed's career: When the inquiry started nobody. had the slightest idea that the wets, and-dry jssue would figure in ft, Reed himself had no such thought. It was impossiblefor him to foresee that the opportunity to'drag jt in would present itself. Reed was considerably handicapped during the investigation of prohibi- tion enforcement, conducted "by judiciary sub-committée’e: in consideration of wet-and-dry bills, He was not that committee's chair- man, as he is of this one? Further- more, he was in a ‘wet ‘minority of one, against four drys.: Try ea he ‘would, he never succeeded In getth the individual he most particularly; wanted, Wayne B. Wheeler, on the witness stand. oe ‘OW, besides being his own chair- man, he has at least one sympa- thizer on his committee with him. Senator La Follette, not quite so vehement a wet as himself, but still a wet. Two other members, Senators McNary and Goff, certainly are drys, but the fifth, Senator King. at least will not stand.in the way of anything Reed tries to do. Wheeler, while an important wit- ness, with his revelation of ‘the names of members of Congress who have accepted’ ‘pay from the Anti- Saloon League for making dry Speeches, undoubtedly is only inci- dental to the Reed program. Having started. it is a foregone conclusion that he will continue to do all the damage he can. The com- mittee will not adjourn with Con- gress but will hold sessions during recess, so that the Missouri sena- tor will have all the time he wants.
