But too often they are given the works, instead of work. Sing Sing’s football team has the ad- vantage of always playing on its home gridiron. Great is the radio. Before a fellow pulled the bed covers over him Tuesday night he knew who was president.—Times- Union, But the Literary Digest had the radio beaten by several days. Trust Will Rogers to say the right thing at the right time and in the right way.—Times-Union. What about his statement that he couldi’t vote because he failed to register, the slacker. The president is “determined to préss the policies of his administration during the next four months,” despite the over- whelming vote of the people that they’ve had more than enough of them.—Tampa Tribune. The democratic future gets brighter and brighter. Republicans are talking of nominating Ogden Mills in 1036.—Tampa Tribune. Relegating Mills back to 10386 would mean a brighter future for the demo- crats aside from being SOME lusus naturae. By their vote in the last election the people of the United States have expressed themselves overwheintingly against certain existing conditions and congress will un- questionably mind the mandate of the electorate. The will of the people is stil] the law. Belgium is rather polite about asking’ the United States to extend the Hoover moratorium concerning its four and a half millions owed us. The Belgium govern- ment says “it has the honor to ask for the extension.” Now where is the “honor” in asking further time that appears eventually to lead to repudiation and then forced can- cellation by the United States, t | HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE The Citizen does not vouch for the cor- declares that 100,000 miles of hard sur- faced American highways: must be recon- structed in the next two or three years, or } they will be unfit for use. Some engineers | estimate that before 1947, or within 15] years, all our present highways will” have | to be rebuilt. | Even allowing for some exaggeration | of the situation, the prospect is rather dis- | couraging. It appears that most of our | highways will be ruined before they are paid for, as many road bond issues. still | have many years to run before maturity. There is no doubt that their rapid de- terioration is due largely to the damage caused by unreasonably heavy trucks and busses. These destructive vehicles not only break up our roads and weaken our bridges, but aré a nuisance and a menace to all other traffic. No one would object to the use of the roads by trucks of reasonable size and weight, but the enormous ones which now infest the highways should be abolished at the earliest possible moment. Legisla- tion to this end is being adopted in many states, and while the truckmen are protest- ing they have no one but themselves to blame. By trying to “hog” the roads and de- stroy them at the same time they have lit-| tle cause for complaint if the taxpayers de- mand protection for the highways they have built at such a burdensome expense. WOMEN RULE FACTORIES Women forced sink manufacturers to increase the height of their product so that | back strain would be eliminated from | kitchen work. Packaged foods line the pantry shelves of the woman whose mother insisted on cooking everything she placed on her dining room table. She demands new beauty in all her furniture and home decorations. Even the household washer has come in for special attention from womankind, according to the American washing ma- chine manufacturers’ association. “Today it is transformed, because women want it to harmonize with all other features of home improvement,” it says. “Today’s models are finished to harmonize with practically any color scheme.” This change has come in response to women’s demands, just as other changes have come in this year’s washers. The re- sult is that when a woman is seen hanging out clothes, it’s no sign she’s a washer- woman. Many housewives are undertak- ing tasks they formerly gave to others. The change has been hastened by the case with which it has become possible to perform once difficult operations. The old hours of drudgery and _ back- breaking labor have been taken out of wash-day. The housewife mindful of her appearance begins her Monday work as willingly as she faces any other day in the week. NONSENSICAL TALK A while ago the “Catholic Daily Tri- | bune” roundly denounced talk concerning the shakiness of old line life insurance com- panies. It said that the average policy- holder is apt to be needlessly worried “‘on account of nonsensical talk, rumor, hear- say,” and concluded that the holders of old line life insurance policies “can rest as- sured that the companies are safe and that the obligations written into their policy contracts have every humanly possible chance to be met at maturity, despite floods, fires, epidemics and panics. Old line insurance has stood the test as the safest financial institution in the coun- tery.” It has been more than fifty years since a policyholder in a legal reserve life com- pany lost due to failure of the concern. The basic principle behind every company is safety. All other factors are of secondary importance. Investments are made, con- tracts are written, surpluses are built up, all to protect, to the greatest possible de- gree, the policyholder. , Life insurance owners have little to} worry about. They are the most fortunate of all investors. Businesses have shrunk and passed dividends, stocks and bonds have toppled. But an old line insurance | {i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle rectness of his figures, bui a recent writer | ®¢°¢eeeeseeseosconsesccanconsccceccecsessocesce Solution of Yesterday’s Puzzie aes ANOE AGSEESRe mlAt [ut an SCN 2 shcross 1 Stor 5 ; Renunciation of a religious fait !

Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen If you were born on this date 10 years ago, your birth- day fell on Friday. In yesterday’s issue of The Citi- zen it was stated that a youth who was convicted on a liquor charge in criminal court had been fined $25 and 60 days in jail. The sen- tepce read $25 and costs or 60 afys in jail. —~ { Dr. Louis Balmori, who was tried in criminal court on charges of practicing medicine without a license, was freed by the jury. The case grew out of the death of a woman who was treated by Bal- mori. This is the second time that he has been acquitted in criminal court on the same peoaree. At the meeting of city council | last night a communication from grave diggers in the city cemetery asked that their pay be raised from $40 to $90 monthly. Rev. I. W. Longacre, pastor of Fleming Street Methodist church, has received notice of his transfer from Key West to the Pacific Con- ference in California. He will leave Key West within short time to make his home in the west. The feature boxing card tonight at La Brisa will be between Bobby | °® Waugh and Mike Kamins. Both men are in excellent shape and a good bout is expected. Swamped by an alanche of | runs through heavy hitting and costly errors, the American Le- gion team went down to defeat yesterday before the onslaught of the Rotary-Railroad players to the score of 20 to 8. The Rotes made 14 hits and the Legion 9. Legion, | 11 errors and the Rotarians 5.
