Some recent political speakers were greeted with boos, possibly from auditors filled with booze. The Sunday Star refers to the “Kellogg Pack”... From that pack, possibly, the new dealofthe democrats will be dealt. “Let’s hurry and get rid of this depres- sion. We are sick:and tired of seeing and hearing the weed day in and day out. Add to the list of classic boners a metropolitan newspapers reference to “Dr. Nicholas Murray, butler of Columbia University.” j President Hoover sdys conditions are improving. They have ever since he and his cabinet are away from Washington electioneering. Here’s a stake kettle of fish, says the | Avon Park Times; “It may be pointed out that in New York State a Catholic and a Jew are the two opposing candidates for governor, and Al Smith is supporting the Jew.”—Times-Union. We fail to see a “pretty kettle of fish” in the above; a fair- minded man’s religion has nothing to doj with politics. Having no sound arguments to ad- vance against the democratic party, Hoo- ver endeavors to scare the voters into vot- ing the republican ticket by the cry of alarm that if the democrats are placed in} BOY SAFETY PATROLS One of the most effective means yet | devised for the protection of school chil- dren against traffic accidents is the School- boy Patrols, now organized in more than 800 American communities, with a total of ‘more than 150,000 members. The object of patrol members is to guide their schoolmates in crossing dan- | gerous street intersections in safety. It is | gratifying to know that as a result of this and other safety movements the fatalities | among children pedestrians have decreased | 25 per cent in the last four years. A striking example of the fine work of these “safety scouts” is seen in the fact that in Washington, D. C., riot a single child THE KEY WEST CITIZEN But, Can He Make Him Drink? pedestrian has been killed in four years, and only one or two have been slightly hurt in four years in districts guarded by these schoolboy patrols. Dr. Herbert J. Stack, a nationally known safety authority, declares that these boys not only aid in reducing automobile accidents, but also contribute to the de- velopment of personal traits of self-control, mental alertness, courtesy and considera- tion for others. Every school, whether in city or coun- try, should have its schoolboy safety patrol, | 4 composed of bright youngsters who have a sense of responsibility, and who would take a pride in their important duties. This could be had without any expense what- ever, and would do much toward eliminat- ing the frightful loss of life and limb among children on our streets and high- ‘ways. RETURN OF ROMANTICISM The reading public is getting tired of modern fiction and showing a revival of taste for the old atmosphere of clean romance and adventure. It hankers for the old romanticism and sentimentality. It would be straining the argument to suggest that the current list of fiction most in demand gives definite indication that such is the case, yet there are many traces of such a tendency., They are observable in books, magazie stories, the movies and on the stage. It was certain to come—this swing back toward the world of illusion, peopled by folk who could not have lived to grow up in real life, and who act as nobody alive ever acted. After a reign of realism there is bound to be a sharp reaction against being offered unretouched photo- graphs instead of paintings. Most people get enough of crime and misery in their own lives withou‘ reading books full of them. Reading stories of life as it might be, even though life will never be that way, is a relief and the craving for them is natural and sensible. Realism is a welcome relief from romanticism, but romanticism brings, in turn, a welcome relief from realism. The public quickly tired of the true but sordid crime and gangster films, but recent roman- tie plays on Broadway are enjoying long runs. : UNSUNG Just as many a rose is born to blush unseen, the world is forever producing pub- lic benefactors of whom society never learns though their benefactions may make life easier for millions in the routine affairs of the day. There was Louis Perlman, Russian im- migrant who died in New York City the other day at the age of 70 after a long and useful life. In this life he accomplished more than merely running man’s allotted span of years, yet few persons ever heard of him. His greatest benefaction was the de- mountable rim for automobile tires—a gift only the pioneer motorist can appreciate, although it is daily saving the time, temper and knuckles of countless motorists. His invention was one of the greatest single im- provements in” automobile | construction} since the introduction of the horseless buggy. Changing a tire on the highway is a matter of but a few minutes and very little effort today, whereas before Perlman’s in- vention it was often a half day’s work. Riding home on a flat was preferable to changing tires in the “good old days” of motoring, That was before 1906. | The public that likes its news in pic- ‘KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Yeare Ago Today Ap Taken From The Files of The Citizen © ee If you were born on this date 10 years ago, your birth- day fell on Friday.

A delightful party was given this week by Miss Dorothy. Beaver at her home, 907 Elizabeth street, in honor of the Sixth Grade stu-j dents of the high school. The Hal- lowe’en idea was carried out and! the home beautifully decorated.

In him we see all of earth’s toiling bands, With crooked backs, scarred faces, shattered hands. HE seeks no office and he asks no praise For all the patient labor of his days. He is the one supporting the huge weight:! He is the one guarding the country’s gate. He bears the burdens on these earthly ways:) We pile the debts, he is the one who pays. He is the one who holds the solid power ‘yTo steady nations in their trembling hour. Behold him as he silently goes by, : \ For it is at his word that nations die. . SHATTERED with loss and lack, He is the man who holds upon his back The continent and all its mighty loads— NThis toiler who makes possible the roads On which the gilded thousands travel free— \Makes possible our feasts, our roaring boards, Our pemps, our easy days, our golden hoards. He gives stability to nations: he ‘Makes possible our nation, sea to sea. His strength makes possible our college wallsa— \ Makes possible our legislative balls— «Makes possible our churches soaring high With spires, the fingers pointing to the sky.
