The cigar is here. Now where’s the nickél. Bertrand Russell, eminent British author, declares that marriage will die out by 2032. We have always deplored the fact that we are living one hundred years too soon. The following slam at Key West was printed editorially |in the Miami Herald Wednesday, “.. And Key West will be linked’to AMERICA by highway.” We can take it on the chin, even if it comes 8 self-styled “Florida’s Most Important per.”. ~sNobody had any money to buy tags Wednesday, at least not until The Citizen announced that Governor Sholtz had de- clared himself powerless to grant any time’ extension for the purchase of tags. Then there was a rush for the tag office and. when the day was over $4,085.00 had changed hands. Necessity is still the mother of invention, but as usual the buck is passed to dad. A street rumor is often more excit- ing"than a printed story because, in the absence of definite knowledge, it is sur- rounded by mystery, whereas the bare . Statement of fact in print removes romance from the rumor. Many times, when the news is made known, and the rumor denied there -is dissatisfaction discernible al- though it is not generally expressed, and this even if the news is better than the rumor. Human nature dislikes to be dis- illusioned. The Cuban colony of refugees at Mi- ami was increased by 15 when U. S. im- migration officials took them into custody at Tavernier where they landed after a perilous voyage. All were former students at the University of Havana and told In- speetor Claude Albury that they were forced-to flee from Cuba when their mem- bership in a student political institution became known, Uncle Sam should shake his finger at Dictator Machado and maybe he’ll_quit playing so rough. “~“Plorida Newspaper News contains the following paragraph concerning the demise of a weekly paper in New Smyrna with a significant editorial comment: “The plant of the New Smyrna Breeze has been sold at public auction and Bon Morris of Daytona Beach, representing ereditors bid the plant, name and subscription list in at $800. This was done to protect some of the ereditors. For some months Ralph Bos- well, publisher, has had the paper printed at DeLand, coming out as a one page af- fair... Running a weekly in a town the size of New Smyrna with a daily in the field was rather up hill business,” CASHING IN ON CRIME Regardless of the particular activities in which we engage, it is natural that we should endeavor to look ahead, with a view to estimating the returns which may be expected. Unfortunately, many do not look ahead at all, or if they do they fail to heed the warnings plentifully supplied by the experiences of others. This is especially true of those who decide to embark upon a life of crime. Laying aside all moral considerations, and estimating the rewards of a criminal solely in terms of money, health and com- fort, it seems strange that any should try to beat such a desperate game. Yet thou- sands try’it and fail. They fail whether they are ever adequately punished by law or not. The daily fear of detection and punishment is often worse than punish- ment itself. For this reason, many criminals give themselves up when they can no longer stand the strain. A criminal recently captyred charged with a long list of daring times, speaks on the subject with authority. He says: “T am 30 years old. I began my career of crime 10 years ago. Eight of those 10 years I have spent in jails and penitentiaries. I have been shot 13 times with pistols, once with a rifle and three times with a shot-gun. My left shoulder is shot away. My left arm is paralyzed from the elbow to the shoulder. One lung gone. My body is searred from head to foot with bullet wounds. And I say: ‘You can’t win.’” LIGHTING AND SAFETY According to the National Safety Council, which recently conducted a sur- vey of four states, about 35 per cent of all night automobile accidents are due to is- sufficient street and highway lighting. That this is a conservative statement is indicated by the experience of Detroit last year, when the need for municipal economy caused a drastic curtailment of street illumination. The result as stated by Superintendent Schrenk of the lighting de- partment was that while final accidents in daytime decreased 22 per cent, night fatalities increased 23 per cent, during a period of 10 months. Aside from the loss of life and limb involved in the additional accidents, it was found that handling these extra emer- gency cases cost the city” more than the saving in its light bill, so the former light- ing was restored to virtually its former level. This illustrates that economy meas- ures, which are being demanded prac- tically everywhere just now, may some- times be costly, if added dangers to the public are created thereby. This is es- pecially true with respect to matters af- fecting traffic safety, fire protection and the public health. It is estimated that traf- fie accidents alone now cost the American people about two and a half billion dol- lars every year. A HUNDRED BILLIONS Modern business figures have reached such large proportions that the human mind can not begin to grasp them. Who, for example, can form an intelligent idea of what 100 billion dollars really means? Yet, that is the amount of life insurance now in force in the United States. The growth of life insurance in this country since the war has been one of the outstanding business phenomena . of the period. When the government provided war risk insurance for its soldiers and sailors during the war, some believed that the private companies might be injured, but it appears that the reverse has been the case. In any event, the figures speak for themselves. The amount of life insurance in force in 1916 was about 25 billion. By 1922 it had reached 50 billion. The 100 billion now in force represents, therefore an increase of 300 per cent in 16 years. Even this staggering total represents only an average of about $800 for every person in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of families are still without in- surance, and the neglect of this important matter is the cause of much suffering on the part of widows and orphans who are left unprotected. Every man owes it to his family to carry a reasonable amount of life | shows that 4,173,639 cigars were jmanuactured during the month. insurance.
