Competition may be the life of trade, i to “flay,” an explosion is a “blast,” an ath- but it’s death if economic needs do hot exist. The Citizen wishes success to those who are undertaking the revival of scout- ing in this city. It would be most helpful ‘in present conditions, and merits encourage- ment. Brisbane, the commentator, says that * Rockefeller proved that unlimited competi- tion is wasteful and thus rendered a ser- vice even greater to mankind. than in the giving of so many millions. Governor Ritchie will write the piece for the Saturday Evening Post that Al Smith was to write. And, we have no doubt, he'll write a much better one.— Tampa Tribune. If not better, probably fairer. A baseball fan said after Friday’s game: “Gee, Chapman struck out three times, I could have done as well.” But would he have made the hit that Chap- an made with three on bases. virtually won the game. Employment in the cigar industry has hot shown the marked decrease which has occurred in all other manufacturing in- dustries since the fall of 1929. An average of 81 per centum of full-time operation was reported by operating establishments in this industry in May of this year. The com- fort of a good mani is not to be denied.

I Bankers, men connected with large ; corporations and proiessional men ar among those asking for information about H Key West, with a view of passing the win- ter or a part of it in this city. What has been the cause of this un- usual interest manifested in Key West by residents of nearly every state in the; Union? It is believed at the Chamber of Com- merce that the chief cause has been the | extensive publicity given Key West in | articles, mostly about fishing for sport, that | have appeared in magazines of nationwide circulation. Gradually, Key West, with little paid publicity, has been becoming better known | through articles written by well known authors who have successfully used the# rod and reel in local waters. | *- They have sensed the thrill caused by landing a sailfish, a tarpon, an amberjack, a dolphin, or a bonefish, the last-named the smallest of game fish in waters hereabouts, but said to be, size for size, the speediest and most determined fighter, and have in- terestingly related their experiences to million of readers. HEADLINE ENGLISH | i i | Professor of English held a conven- tion in Kansas City a few days .zo and among other things discussed the influence of newspapers in modifying the speech of the people. As might have been expected, some felt that this influence was good, while others thought it terrible. In their search for short words which will fit in the limited space available to them, writers of newspaper headlines have developed a peculiarly effective, though sometimes inelegant form of expression. In the headlines, an investigation, of which there are many, is called a “‘probe,” because five letters are ezsier to handle than 13. Similarly a collision is a “crash;”’ jan agreement is a “pact,” to denounce is | letic contest is a “tilt,” and so on. On the sport page “‘journalese” does its worst. Deploring what he considers the evil effects of newspaper English Dr. Hopkins of the University of Kansas said that teach- ers were duty-bound to take a stand against it, but significantly added: “In theory that is our stand, but it does us little good to take any stand. We might as well let the language go its way. It will anyway.” And that probably covers all there is to be said on the subject. WHEN BATHS WERE FEW If certain dates'we have rum across lately are authentic, the joke about the | Saturday night bath is not so old as we had imagined. It is recorded that the first bath tub put in commission in the; United States was christened on Christmas | Day, 1842. | Looking up the day of the week in a | prepetual calendar, we find that this was Sunday, but it is possible that the first bath wes really taken on Christmas eve, thus es- tablishing the Saturday night tradition. Upon its introduction the bath tub was looked upon with much suspicion, as it is by small boys until this day. In Boston an ordinance was passed prohibiting baths ex- | cept upon the advice of a physician. About | 1844 the Philadelphia city council came z . 7 in within two votes of passing an ordinance | prohibiting baths altogether between No-! vember 1 and March 15. Bath tubs were heayily taxed in those | Pierce where they will tackle the /tors te fill days, even as the modern automobile. Shortly after they were introduced into | iday afternoon. The number is not only greater than | fa The Battimane& KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen If you were bora on this date 10 years ago your birth day fell on Sunday. i Sam P.

Great objects are not attained ina day, however, and while the time may seem long to those of us who can only stand and wet, we should wait with patience, being careful not to hinder where we cannot help. If we want to get out of the hole we are in we must all think constructively and talk constructively. No one has ever yet auc- ceeded while thinking and talking failure. KEY WEST, FLORIDA
