Go to the hummingbird, tHou laborer; consider her ways and be wise;—P. E. B., in Tampa Tribune. Too mutch flitting abgyt for old folks, “Only a year ago Samuel Insull, Jr., headed a Chicago committee which raised nearly ten million dollars for relief. Now they're trying to put him in the bread- line. Now a historian declares that English colonists taught the Indians to scalp their enemies. Anyway, they probably gave them some pointers on how to skin a cus- tomer. In the public interest it is oftentimes more sensible and wiser to leave wun- pleasant stories untold rather than broad- easting them to the hurt of the com- munity, aa x “Paling his first » shower’ “after “ttew bathroom fixtures had been {nstalled, ‘a Michigan man found hot water coming from the cold water pipe. His rage against the plumber subsided after he dis- covered that his house was on fire down- stairs. President Green of ae American Federation of Labor was quoted as having said that the organization would resort to force if its demands for unemployment in- surance and a thirty-hour week were not granted. But his sober second thought suggested the apolegetic statement that by “force he meant “strikes, boycotts and picketing.” edie er Rev. R. Shuler, whose broadcasting station was deleted by the Federal Radio Commission, claims that the refusal to re- new his license was in restraint of free speech. The commission replied that a broadcaster who used the facilities of his radio station to “obstruct the administra- tion of justice, offend the religious sus- ceptibilities of thousands, inspire politival | distrust and civic discord, or offend youth | and innocence by the free use of words suggestive of sexual immorality” does not constitute a denial of the right of free speech. | “drys” all news dispatches crédited to ; SOME CONVERSIONS Senator Brrah, who has been hailed jas the leader of the prohibition forces at ' Washington, after being heralded by the; as unequivocally opposed to any | ‘weakening of the prohibition law, and} intending to oppose any liberal legislation ; jin the lame duck congress regarding the | Volstead act, now declares that while hej will not favor any action, he will not ‘‘fili- buster” against it. He says that it is his belief that the majority should rule. The attitude of Senator Borah may or |} may not have been influenced by the fact that his colleague in the United’ States senate from Idaho, despite sivteeh speeches } made by Borah in his behalf, was signally Borah is a wise old owl. He knows how to get in out of the rain. He knows that had he been a can- didate for re-election he would 1 .ve deen defeated by an even greater majority in Idaho than were President Hoover and his colleague, Senator Thomas. As far as the other senatorial “drys” are concerned, the demograts have decided to support their party platform, while the republican “drys” say that their con- stituents have changed their minds. quoted by the press of the nation as fully ;- | 26, Summit { The only supporters of prohibition ‘to- day are the professional roformets who ‘re- ceive salaries for their support ‘and a rdpidly lessening percentage of ‘“die- hards” who will always be found in any free country. America has been converted to a be- lief that regulation of personal habits is unwise and expensive. ~ JUPITER STEALS SHOW It looks as if the planet Jupiter. has’): permanently stolen one of the most spec- tacular heavenly phenomena which __in- habitants of the earth were privileged to witness, often in superstitious terror, once every 33 years. shooting stars due to have been seen around the middle of November again failed to appear in any large number. This swarm of small heavenly bodies, called the Leonid meteots from their ap- parent origin in the -constélation’ Leo, made their first recorded appearance in the year 902. The most biillfant display known to history occurred on November 12, 1833, when the sky was so filled with shooting stars that many believed the end of the world was at hand. : By this time astronomers had figured the periodical return of the meteors and correctly predicted their appearance on November 13, 1866, when another daz- aling display was seen. The next re- turn was due in 1899, but only a few ap- peared as was the case this year when the 88-year period had again elapsed. Now it is believed that the main swarm of meteors has been diverted from its former path through the attraction of the planet Jupiter. If this theory be cor- rect, the giant of our solar system has stolen our greatest celestial show. And as Jupiter is 1,300 times as ig as the earth it is doubtful that we shall ever get our meteors back. AUTO DRIVER—LOOK Rt YOURSELF ‘ Poh It is time the automobile driver took a good look at himself. Personal traits and characteristics are as much to blame for our appalling high- way death rate as are incompetence and ignorance. The driver who passes on hills whd curves, who operates his car at exces- sive speeds, who hogs the road and drives on the wrong side of the highway, who “weaves” atid euts in and out, is the driver |; who, no matter how great his skill, cause: a large share of the 35,000 deaths each year. Every state should have laws in ac- cord with modern conditions. One of the most necessary steps is more drastic super- vision of youthful drivers—it has been found that drivers under 20 have a 39 per cent worse record than the average, while those between 40 and 50 have a record 29 per cent better than the average. Auto- mobiles should be periodically inspected in the matter of brakes, steering, lights, | ete. The automobile death 1ate can and/| | mast be lowered. There is no place for ithe reckiess, the incompetent, and the men- tally or physically defective on our reas! and highways. Sixty-five thousand deaths | in two years is mute testimony to the need for quick and decisive action, The swarm of meteors or {: THE KEY WEST CITIZEN eevcecoovece Daily Cross-word Puzzle, 60070 wdecvedodedovecobonerseccecrscbsceveveseces 16. sa! = ogg ofa ACROSS 1, Head cover- ing Solution of Saturday’s Puzzle OILIPRAFIAIRBATIATPh IR] * Sos IAILIAM@AILI [NIE] AI GIRGI IM Clelalc a SONS FONGn EMBOM cine Ree IEIRIAMMEIAITMBAEIAIR YOU IAIPAPIAIR IEJAISITHAVIOILIAITI I {LIE} AIRIEITIEVASIEIE(S| IEINTUIMIEIRIAITIE? we DORES EE aura IEE IRITHAOIE RMAs teje| 29; Anglo-Sazon money ‘of Recount 30.
