Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The bureaucratic gem of the month in furtherance of farm relief. or something, is reported by a Washington corres- ‘pondent: “The extensive research by the deral government into the possibilities of using gourds for bird houses developed the ‘Important information that the size of the gourd also should be in proportion to the size of the bird, for it is useless to invite a | larger bird to nest in a small gourd.” 4 va : neither of the belligerents was damaged. Among the numerous Armistice Day weddings this year was that of John D. Rockefeller, III, to Miss Blanchette Hooker in New York. It’s all right with us, of course, but it does seem a bit premature to celebrate the armistice before the real fighting starts. Those who are interested in mathe- matical curiosities may amuse themselves with the number 142,857. Multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, the answer contains the same digits as the original number, and in the same order, thus: 285,714, 428,571, 571,- 428, 714,285, 857,142. But multiply it by 7, and we get a totally different but none the less surprising result, 999,999. It is ironical that President von Hin- denbutg of Germany, $5-year-old hero of three major wars, received one of the most painful injuries of his life the other day when he fell down & dark stairway. His hurts were not serious, however, consisting only of external bruises. Avbelated battle of the Civil War is reported from an Arkansas poor farm, where a 93-year-old Federa! and a 90-year- old Confederate fought over the issues of 1861. When the scrap was stopped most ef the poorhouse dishes were smashed, but seriously Because 4-year-old Frances Liberto, of Memphis, knew how to use the telephone, she was able to cali for help when her mother was discovered unconscious beside a broken gas pipe. Frances telephoned her father,. who arrived in time to save the mother’s life. This incident suggests the ativisability of teaching children to use the THE PUBLIC FORGOT For many merchauts of Key West who appear tc think the public does not need to ‘be constantly reminded oi who they are, { where they are, and what they have to sell, ‘the well-known story of wiat happened to la procact called Pyle’s Pearline will bear repeating. | In the early years of this century, Pearline, a cleansing material, was used by most of the housewives of the country. In 1904 the company spent $500,000 in ad- vertising. Then the advertising was greatly curtailed, and about 1907 it was discon- tinued altogether, as the company thought the product was so well known that no fur- ther advertising was necessary. Sales fell off rapidly, but the com- pany’s owners persisted in their non-adver- tising policy until 1915, when the whole concern was sold for $12,000. Pearline was dead. Many other products whose names were household word¥ a few years ago are no longer sold, because the manufacturers failed to keep up their advertising, and consequently the public forgot them. Business men should remember that new generations of potential customers are coming along all the time, and that these new buyers must be sold on a product or'a store, as their i thers and mothers were be- fore them. The Citizen has also observed that complaints about poor business conditions as a general rule comes from those mer- chants who advertise only spasmodically or who have ceased advertising altogether. The constant advertiser appears satisfied, and there’s a reason. He gets the busi- ness. The only time it is safe to stop 2 lver- tising is when one is ready to go out of business. THE WOMEN’S VOTE Miss Sarah Schuyler Butler, the talented daughter of Nicholas Murray Butler, in an address to a feminine organ- ization the cther day declared that there was no such thing as a “woman’s vote,” any more than there was such a thi.g as a “labor vote.” Miss Butler is absolutely right on both propositions, as real students of American voting will realize. The vote of the women and of the workingmen fol- low the trend of opinion in their communi- ties and are governed by no other in- fluences. Votes on the prohibition laws have shown the variation of the women’s vote. In dry communities the women have voted dry. In wet communities they have voted wet. Chicago.a couple of years ago had a “wet” and “dry” vote in which the masculine and feminine votes were sep- arately counted and the women voted 2 to 1 “wet.” This was prior to the recent “wet” wave. Years ago, Henry George, the great leader of the workingmen and their greatest idol, was a candidate for mayor of New York City and the labor vote could have elected him, had it existed. He was a poor second in the race. That was in the 80’s. The “women’s vote” has mere- ly added to political majorities and has made these majorities harder to overcome. NEARER BEER The recent election results prove that beer has'reached the comparative stage and is no longer “Near Beer.” Beer today is “Nearer.” And it is the “Nearest” thing to a real beverage that the country can ex- pect for quite a while to come. The Volstead Act will undoubtedly be amended in a few months at the latest. It is to be hoped that the amendment of the law will be made in a sensible manner. The mistake that is apt to be made is the imposition of too great a tax. A low tax on beer will create a greater revenue than will a high tax. Such a tax as has been suggested in some quarters—a tax of $12.00 per barrel, would defeat the pri- mary object of the amendment by making bootlegging profitable and detection of bootlegging more difficult. A tax of $12.00 per barrel would mean a tax of five cents THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle “cross 2. Border 5.

William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner and Mrs. Jen- nings, who are now én Havana, will return today enroute to their winter home in Miami. Immediate- jy on their arrival in Havana yes- terday Mrs. Bryan was taken ill and they decided to return . at once. Announcement was made today that Juan Carbonell, proprietor of the Monroe Theater and part own- er of the Strand Theater, has pur- chased the interests of K. O. Thompson, in the latter house, and is now the sole owner. In the fu- ture, as soon as arrangements can be made, the Strand will be used for nothing but pictures while the Monroe will be devoted to musical comedies and like attractions, Captain Len G. Lewis, president of Rotary Club of Key West, for- merly tendered his resignation as head of the organization at the regular luncheon today. Mr. Lewis was recently transferred from the azency of the Mallory line in Key West to Miami and this is his rea- son for tendering his resignation.
