DARNALL. ‘Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Few persons have made a_ bigger jump in life than John Masefield, poet- laureate of England, now visiting in this country. Born in England in 1878, he went to sea at the age of 14. In 1992 he was a bartender in a New York waterfront saloon, but finally settled in London and attained fame as 4 poet. A columnist de- clares, however, that ten times as. many people know Masefield worked in a saloon *as can quote two lines from one of his poems. “Believe It or Not” Ripley declares that Sarah Johnson of Seattle, was an in- valid for 40 years but cured herself by re- laxing her tongue and keeping silent for six months. Some will think that a terrible pric®to’ pay for restoration to health. Judge Loevering of St. Paul, believes that the punishment shouj.i “: the crime and proceeded aecordi»'y when four boys were brought before him charged with sending in five false fire alarms for the thrill of seeing the engines run. He sen- tenced them to four hours each polishing up the fire apparatus. Imagination is a wonderful thing, as A. B. Ferguson of Lo: Angeles, now —_ Missing his it. he had swallowed them. ,A. sud- on feeling of unasiness in his stomach seemed to confirm his fears. He rushed to a hé®pital and just as ae was being placed og the operating table his wife telephoned | that the missing teeth had been found in his home. Football’s most amazing touchdown record -was made by “Red” Grange, play- ing for Illinois in a game against Michigan im November, 1924. He handled the ball | only five times and made five touchdowns, four 6f them in the first quarter and the other in the fourth. His runs were 9%, 67, 56, 4G and 15 yards respectively. Our idea of conservatism in cxtending credit-is that practiced -by- a Brooklyn! grocery whieh, according to the New York Sun, displays this sign: “Notice: the degen, eredit will hereafter be ex- | tended only to persons over 80 years of | age if accompanied by their grand- parents.” This excerpt from A] Smith’s editorial in the January New Outlook should be pondered by every legislator in the land: | “The income tax returns show a steady | falling off im yield, indicating that nothing has been accomplished by increasing in- | come taxes, except to scare off capital and divert it into tax-exempt securities, In soaking capital the government actually soaked Jabor.” yrida, as second class matter | false teeth, he} Due to} has | NATIONAL LOTTERIES It may not be generally known that ; an American national lottery was instituted ; by the congress of 1776 and that between | that date and 1820 at least seventy: acts; * were passed by congress authorizing lot-| * teries for public purposes, such as schools, | 12. Gr roads and other improvements. During the presidency of Washington, | Harvard College supported itself in part by ‘a8*.$20,000. . Most European governments have at some time or another employed national | lotteries as a means of raising funds for the public treasuries, and municipal lot- teries have been common. ducted a national lottery since the forma- tion of the republic, and many Key West- ers are constant purchasers of Cuba lottery tickets. France jinanced the war of the not suppressed until 1836. England author- ized lotteries for harbor improvements and for the financing of the Virginia Company, which founded the early settlements in America, and raised government funds by that means until 1824" Religious and charitable organizations ! were in some countries permitted to oper- ate lotteries, long aftér ithe governixents had*abolished them national _ institu- tions. On a small scale such as exist in America today in the form of “raffles,” which do not differ in principle from the more pretentious lotterics of the past. But during the last hundred years : trend of sentiment throughout the world has been against lotteries, particularly in the United States, where drastic legislation for their suppression has been enacted. Still the gambling instinct vhaps as strong as ever and finds opportunities ! for expression in many ways, ranging from the outright method of the gaming table to lawful speculation in markets and stock, regarding the morals of which there is much difference of opinion, even among the better — of meciaty: BROADENI NG OUR VIEW Although. many writers deplore the alleged lower standard of current mag- azines which are extremely popular with a certain class of people, reports from booksellers and libarians declare that there is a growing demand for the better sort of literature. Works dealing with travel, history and biography are being called for in in- creasing numbers, especially those pertain- ing to foreign countries. There is no doubt that the war and the important events which have followed it have given the American people a wider outlook on the world and a desire to know more of the countries and peoples which are playing such important parts in its af- fairs. Newspapers generally, both dailies and weeklies, find their readers are in- terested in a wider range of topics than for- merly, and giving more space to news and editorials dealing with national and inter- national matters. This all means.that the people of America, and particularly the rural pop- ulation, are outgrowing the narrow provincialism of the past and are eager for contact with the rest of the world, | through books, newspapers, moving pic- tures and the radio. Al! of which makes I for a higher and better civilization. WATCH THE MARKET During the next few weeks the Walt Street market will in all probability re- flect the reports of earnings of the busi- ness corporations of the country for the last six months of 1932. These reports will be uniformly bad and the securities of the corporations will refleet the loss of earning pewer shown. The professional bears . among the | * brokers will undoubtedly take advantage | of the occasion to depress prices, but the | movement will not have much of an im- } petus as the public is not speculating. The brokers will take their fractional } profits and get in and ovt of the market. | But the trend will be downward and will probably continue downward for the first | quarter of 1933. Right at the present time Wall Street is no safe financial isn’t much chance for the poor lambs with the bulls and bears mixing it up and tak-} ing bites out of one another.
