IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN NATIONAL EDITORIAL | 0 50 85 | 20 ' BRIDGE RUMORS GALORE Since Saturday a dozen different rumors about the proposed long bridges ! have been making the rounds of the city, and every one of them is false. poration, it was reported that he had lost | “all. hope” of the Reconstructiow Finanee | Corporation’s granting a loan to build the | bridges. The fact is he is just as confident now | as he has ever been that the application will be acted on favorably, and he has al- ways been confident since his participation in the project. He added that, while nobody can be sure about the matter, nothing has hap- pened to change his belief that the Over- seas Bridge Corporation will get the money, and that his only change of view is that it'may be a little longer befo:- action is taken than he had anticipated. Another report about him was that he had declared that the money would not be obtained till next January. He asserted that he had not made any such remark, and that the only things he had said about the bridge proposition were that it may require more time for the R. F. C. to act on the application and that his confidence had not been impaired im any way whatever. A third rumor was that Rosenthal’s ap- plication, which was filed first, may mili- tate against the granting of the application of the Overseas Bridge Corporation. That rumor is not even tinseled with truth. When such a rumor is heard, it should be remembered that Rosenthal’s option expires on December 12, and that he has not any of the basic requirements, which are insisted on by the R. F. C., to | Back up his application. Water and Sewerage. Bridges to complete Road to: Mais land. Comprehensive City bias Hotels. and. Apartuents. Bathing Pavilion.

The iivtality of the individual de- pends upon character. We are never so ridiewlous by the qualities we possess, as by those we affeet: to have.

What Hanke ean do with things that do not exist is nobody’s business. Making a saving of $600,000 out of an expenditure of $300,000 and $500,000 000 is a conjuring trick with which the re- publican candidate for governor tried to fool the voters had not Governor Carlton exposed the trick. A magician who is so clumsy that his magic is apparent deserved- | ly is laughed to seorn.

The Citizen has kept in close touch, and is still keeping in close touch, with the matter, and any decision made by the R. F. C., whether for or against granting the loan, or of anything of importance pertaining to it, will be pub- lished immediately in this paper. So, in the meantime, the best thing to do is to try to be patient till the R. F. C. makes its decision, and neither give ear to or repeat any of the rumors that are now being related, or any new rumors that. are likely to aneie up at any time. SOME SUPERSTITIONS Among the hundreds of superstitious beliefs still held by otherwise intelligent people may be named the following, com- piled by a recent writer: Tt is bad luck to spill salt or break a mirror. Putting on a garment backwards or wrong side out by mistake brings good luck. Fish is a brain food. Handling a toad will cause warts. Only the good die young. It is unlucky to light three cigarettes with one match. Friday and the 18th of the month are unlucky, especially if they happen to fall on the same day. To pick up a pin means good luck. Crops should be planted aecording to tiie moon. Knock- ing wood averts a penalty for boasting of former good luck. The list of such superstitions and be- liefs is almost endless. And it is not only the ignorant who act upon such _ beliefs. Most people, including those who have achieved greatness, have their pet super- stifions. To mention only a few: President Lincoln was superstitious about dreams. President Cleveland always earried a horse chestnut in his pocket for luck. Mussolini consults astrologers. Bill Tilden, of tennis fame, carried a fourleai clover. Pola Negri thinks her serecn career j was damaged by a blacx cat crossing her | path. Chaliapin, famed opera star, always | puts on his left shoe first. Sarah Bernhardt would not Tet any of her company wear yellow. Napoleon feared cats and man- euvered his armies according to the stars. Stanley Baldwin carries a rabbit's foot. And } many hotels and office buildings omit the number 13 im numbering their floors, in deference to superstitious guests and ; tenants. | A small minority of persons are hard- | boiled enough to call all these superstitions the bunk, and defy them accordingly.
