Because of that faith in Key West, The Citizen has no patienee With those mer- chants who are always -deploring local conditions and are threatening to “pack up and leave the city.” In The Citizen’s view, it would be a distinct advantage to Key West if they left, because nobody, particularly one in busi- ness, is an asset to a city about which he continually expresses dissatisfacti: It is doubtful if other residents hear as much of this expressed dissatisfaction as do employees of The Citizen. Let an em- ployee of The Citizen mention advertising, which is regarded by all “go-getting’’ busi- ness men as the life of trade, to the mer- chants in question and they throw up their hands desparingly and bemoan business conditions, concluding always with this absurdity: “What’s the use of advertising?” It will not be long before they will see that question answered emphatically. Key West is not always going to be as it is now. The time is not far off before there will be merchants here who, in hard times and in good times, will demonstrate the high value of advertising, and when that time comes those merchants who do not believe in it will be obliged to “pack up and leave town.” ’ To repeat, the publisher of The Citizen With better times promtsed we may has no regret in having constructed its new “he able to go into debt a little deeper. building; instead, he still entertains a ‘2 oet Waaed iL, sense of pride over having accomplished something in a city in which he has abiding faith. ooo?

Sen em encom ee « WOMEN AND: FOOTBALL It looks as though the male cohorts who have been struggling to maintain their illusion of sex superiority would have to throw in the sponge and take the long count. It was bad enough to, have voting booths, barber shops, offices and smoking rooms invaded by the conquering feminine horde. But, now comes the devastating news that women threaten to outpoint men in footkall conversation too, from no less an authority. than Christy Walsh, head of the all-American Radio Football Show, who If either party can collect enough cam- paign funda this year to warrant an investi- gation it will be lucky. A Scotehman who spent $40 for acci- dent insurance complains that he hasn't ~ been in a single wreck.

Stanford strategist; A. A. Stagg, Chicago’s patriarch; “Gloomy Gil” Dobie, Cornell leader, and Major Frank Cava- naugh, Fordham, every Friday night over the air for the All-American Football Show. “Mrs. Knute Rockne was one of the great football strategists of all time and so was Mrs, Walter Camp before her,” continues Germany wants a big army and navy, and why not? All other important Chris- tian nations have them. The real resources possessed by any! city consists of the mental and manual ‘power of its citizens first of all. Popular humorists are highly paid, but some of the funniest people in the world don’t get a cent for being that way. © When grandpa was a boy he had to buy his naughty literature from a train news-butcher and read it in the haymow. ‘Only 18 million are literate and 229 millions illiterate in British India, and that accounts for the trouble to a great ex- feat. male superiority, _ ‘The Internal Revenue Bureau has Sentiment seems to be growing ruled that one can’t deduct gambling losses !
