DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Some startling. statements by a group -of engineers who call themselves “Tech- noerats” have been attracting considerable attention. These statements haye to do with the effects of the machine age on em- ployment and the social system generally. The conclusions reached by the “tech- snocrats’”’ seem to lean toward Communism. Howard Scott, chief of the group, is said to have been charged with war-time ‘gabotage and to have been later connected with the I) W. W,, according to the New York Herald Tribune. Stop us if you've heard this one, May- be it’s old but it strikes us as being pretty good. Asked why the Almighty made so many women “beautiful but dumb,” a wag repligd; ‘He made them beautiful so that men would marry them, and\he mede them dumb se at they would marry the men.” =at is a phenomenon of the depression that the public health has been better and the death rate lower than in the days of Coolidge prosperity. It was recently re- ported to & group of life insurance _presi- -dents-that the life expectancy of a newly- born. baby is now 60 years, an inerease of five'years since 1922. President-elect Roosevelt recently ae- cepted a telegraphed invitation to fish with the Annapolis Bluefish Association, There is no such association, the telegram having been sent by practical jokers, who signed it with the name of B. A. Farinholt, Now Fariholt says he will organize an An- napolis Bluefish Association and entertain Mr. Roosevelt anyway. Thunder doesn’t cause milk to turn ‘sour; the Department of Agriculture « in- |: fé¥ms us. Just before a thunderstorm the air is. usually quite warm and this stim- ulates the activity of bacteria which sour the milk. Every day we find out that something we thought we knew isn’t so. There are still some persons who do not believe in vaccination against sma})]pox. But the figures seem conclusiye in its favor. In’ Massachusetts, where yaeeination is compulsory, only 408 eases of smallpox oc- curred from 1919 to 1928. In four states whére vaccinatiog is not compulsory and which have about the same total pepula- tion-gs . Massachusetts—-Arizona, Minne- sota, North Dakota and Utah—there were 46,230 cases in the. same, period... Last week August Jaeger, a German -ehauffeur during the.war, wis sentenced to 10 years in prison for warning the French of the Germans’ first ges attack in 1915. ‘The strange part of the story is that the French ignored Jaeger's warning, thinking him crazy, and thereby lost the lives of 40,- 000 soldiers. Several high church dignitaries, in- cluding the Bishop of Liverpoo] and Dean Inge of St. Paul's, haye declared against the doctrine of eternal punishment. ‘The Bishop says “we are well rid of this teach- ing.” A good many of us hope the terrors of the hereafter have been considerably £xaggerated. 2 ee ate a ae ee BEER AND REPEAL Press dispatches from Washingtan, | printed in The Citizen during the past) ; week, have intimated that the modification | 2 of the Volstead Act permitting the legal! brewing of beer of a higher aleoholie per- | centage may find an opposition in members | of the senate who favor absolute repeal of the Bighteenth Amendment. One of the suggestions is that the sale of beer may result in occurrences which may adversely affect the chances of ulti- ; mate repeal. There is little merit in this conten- | tion, for if the legalization of beer results in situations antagonistic to the prospects | of repeal, the country will neither desire the repeal of the amendment, nor will it be advisable. The chances are that the experience § of the country with legalized beer will show the wisdom of repeal, Those who put forth the suggestion that legalizing beer will hurt the chances of repeal. are not entirely honest or un- selfish. They are the advocates of the in- clusion of wine in the modification legis- lation. They are not wise in taking this stand, as there seems little doubt that any modification of the Volstead Act that might legalize high alcoholic percentage in | wine would meet with the disapproval of | the courts: The oply hope of the wine ad- | voeates lies in repeal, The greatest hope of speedy ratifica- tion of any repeal resolution by the states lies in the experience of the country with a popular beer, | LOOKING SOUTHWARD As, three-quarters of a century az, our nation looked to the west for an out- let for its products, so it is today looking southward, toward Latin America. { Here is one of the vastest lands in the world—larger in area than the ‘United States, with almost as much population. Here is a potential outlet for. millions of dollars worth of American goods and, as a result, the source of employment for hun- dreds of thousands of American workmen, Anything we can do to ‘encourage bet- ter understanding between the two hemi- spheres is thus of economic, as well as social, importance. Latin America has suf- fered tremendously from the fal] of raw ma- terial values, as is evidenced by revolutions, wars and frequent changes in government. Today she is passing through a period of chaos—but that she will come out of it is beyond doubt. The stuff of which great and permanent nations are made is within her borders, and that is the important thing. Raw material prices will not always be depressed. Foreign money will once more flow into Latin America, in exchange for her coffee, tin, sugar, tobacco, petroleum, etc. Much of that money will find its way into this country, buying auto- mobiles, typewriters, farm implements and other manufactured articles she needs. When that time comes, our Latin American trade will be a vital cog in the economic wheel. THE BURNS CASE Before taking snap judgment in. the now celelirated Robert Elliott Burns ex- tradition case, look up the fellow’s personal record. In the first Place a former pal claims Burns participated in a number of hold-ups with him and when cornered in- formed on his fellow in crime who took the rap though Burns was alleged to have been equally guilty. Next thé “fugitive from a Georgia chain gang” married a woman 13 years his senior, presumably for money with whieh he started a maga- zine. Tiring of her he went to live with a dancer, who soon tired of him, saying she | was in love with some one else “right now.” | His wife says he is a four-flusher and a big | mouth, and she probably knows. After | Governor Moore of New. Jersey refused | extradition to Georgia, and Burns felt safe, he admitted he had never been whipped or | chained in Georgia. Now he is wanted in | New York on a forgery charge. | These are a few of the high lights that ; have come to the surface in this criminal’s | checkered career and should serve to check ‘the maudlin sentimentality emotional | Américans evince in their glorification 6f malefactors. ' As a step toward getting the govern- ment out of business a new contract has been made for about 12° million doliars worth of envelopes to be sold through the | postoftice. { 14.
