In her expressions over the city, Mrs. Cooper who has _ traveled all over the world, stressed the importance of Key West special- izing its uniqueness. “Specialize, — specialize what you’ve got—let the world know that at the end of the long trail there is a city different from any they’ve ever seen. Don’t think people will come here to see what they have at home, or the things that they find in other southern cities, make them know that down here they’ll find things different. Pique their curiosity.” Mrs. Cooper and friend, Miss Virginia Brown, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Porter dur- ing their visit here. Yesterday afternoon these visitors were taken for a drive around the city, when Mrs. Cooper, who is a professional writer, made notes on the quaint and curious, the beautiful and the attractive, which are seldom seen by visitors. ‘ “Let the world know that giant turtles are to be seen here—ad- vertise your. aquarium, make it larger so as to hold the largest specimens, tell these to the world and see what will be the result. ery will come here just to see} e turtles, or the big fishes. “Let your restaurants specialize in native foods. There’s the deli- eious conch. This is typically local. Serve it as the natives here Pythian Sisters Arrange Program Final plans for “Aunt Dinah’s Quilting Party,” were made at a meeting of Temple No. 20, Py- thian Sisters last night. This en- tertainment will be given next Monday night, February 13, in Harris school, and a rehearsal will be held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock in this school, when those who will take part in this enter- tainment are asked to be present. A hand-made quilt tq be given to the holder of a lucky ticket the evening of the entertainment, is now on display in one of the large windows of Kress. As this entertainment will be held on a meeting night of Tem- ple No. 20, it is announced that a business meeting will be held} Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock in the temple instead of that night. Arrangements for a district meeting jointly with Temple No.! 20, and Justice Temple No . 17, were completed last night. This will be held Thursday night, Feb- ruary 23. Splendid reports were made at the meeting last night on the altruistic work and visits to the sick, by the committees in charge of these departments of the tem- ple. Miss Edith Hilton Weds Joseph Ladd Ata quiet Paul's wedding in St. present, Miss Edith Hilton, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Hil- ten, was united in marriage to} Joseph Ladd, son of Mr. and Mrs, Paul Ladd. The ceremony was read by the Reverend A. B. Dim- mick, pastor of this church. The bride was gowned in cream] lace with accessories in brown. The attendants were My. and Mrs. Albert Di Negro, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Ladd are known in this city, where well they » and active in} church circles in St. Paul's parish.| They will make their home in this city. Daughters Of King To Meet Daughters of the King of St. Paul's parish will meet tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in this, ehureh, according ment made today, ehurch Saturday night! with only the immediate families’ Island City know how to serve it, and let the outside world know that this the only place where conchs, be served in the proper way. “Don’t make the restaurants like all others the world over, ‘ have them different—if possible have i) them on the water’s edge—let the patrons view the ocean while eat- ing their conch meal, served by native Conchs. Oh, tell the world what you have down here and see the people come when you get your bridges, which I feel sure you will get.” The beauty of the gardens at- tracted both Mrs. Cooper and Miss Brown. “I think the purple bougain- villae here is gorgeous. Make your city distinctive. Plant this vine everywhere, let it cover dis- colored houses and fences. Plant this beautiful vine at entrance to the boulevard where tourists com- ing into the city over the highway will be attracted. Specialize in what you have here, and let the world know it,” concluded this visitor. : The beauty of the two ceme- teries came in for a large share of praise, and Mrs. Cooper stated that the arrangements of the deep red crotons and palms, alternating was especially good. She thought our main street should be made attractive with rows of these deep red plants and bougainvillae. To get every man and woman, boy and girl, interested in planting and beautifying, Mrs. Cooper sug- gested that prizes be given the ones who root the greatest number of vines, also to the owner of the most attractive garden. In this way, it is thought, everyone will be an active member of the Key West beautification committee. Accompanying Mrs. Cooper and Miss Brown were Mrs. Wallace B. Kirke, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Cochran Singleton, Mrs. A. D. Luethi, Miss Marie Cappick. Valentine Bridge Tea On Tuesday Plans for a Valentine bridge tea, Tuesday afternoon February 14, under the auspices of Junior Woman’s Club, are working out in a highly successful manner. Merchants are cooperating with this club by donating articles suitable for prizes, and these are both beautiful and useful, it is stated by club officers. Those arranging this entertain- ment state that there will be a prize for high score at each table, and there will be a door prize.

P. M. Crews Improving Hoover Group Expert Cites America’s 10 Big Problems ve At a time when America’s states- men and private citizens are wres- tling with an army of gigantic problems, Prof. William. Fielding Ogburn rises to ask a vitally im- portant question. Of all these problems we are grappling with, he asks, which are the most important? Which must be Solyed first? Which will most powerfully affect the course of], American life? | As the research director ‘President Hoover’s Research Com- mittee on Recent Social. Trends, Professor Ogburn has spent three years of intensive study on these questions. The data which he assembled for committee were the basis of a report which covered every field of American communal life and charted the paths which develop- ment is likely to take in the home, industry and government. of |) From these data, and from his} lifetime of investigation in this field, Professor Ogburn has drawn what he believes is the answer to his own question—an answer which offers the basis for an approach to a national “plan.” In a series of articles appearing daily in The Citizen, beginning to- ‘day, Professor Ogburn will discuss what he believes to be the 10 big- ‘jgest problems facing America. , Professor, Ogburn holds the chair of sociology at the University of Chicago and has won many high honors in his field. He is a for- mer president of the American So- ciological society, former president | of the American Statistical associa- tion, and vice-persident of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science. He is a native of Butler, Ga., and holds the degree of Bachelor of Science from Mercer. University and ‘Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Columbia. He has held academic posts at Princeton University, the Univer- sity of Washington, Reed College, Columbia Unviersity, as well as his present professorship at the Uni- versity of Chicago. In addition, he has written wide- ly in the field of sociology and eco- nomics. TEN GREAT PROBLEMS NOW BEING STUDIED (Continued from Page One) church attendance and greater use of libraries. But the evils far, far outweigh the good. Smoothing B: s Circles A major problem of our econom- ic organization is to lessen the in- tensity of these economic depres- sions, which means more stability in business and a reducation of boom times as well as hard times. To smooth out the business cycle is greatly to be desired. Apparently we don’t . know enough about them to control them. There is, however, for the near future, a modest hope that the swing of these business fluc- tuations may be lessened somewhat though not eradicated. We do not see clearly enough to forecast what the more distant fu- ture may yield. Apparently. a ma- jor difficulty is the unequal flows of credit and of production, and it appears that in most cycles an important factor is the fluctu- ation in our money and . credit system. The barometer is the price level. Sweden has been able to main- tain a stable price level for a num- ber of months, largely through the control of interest rates. Certainly a closer control over our money and credit must be in any economic program of the fu- ture. Balanced Output And Demand Another source of diffictulty not unrelated to the foregoing is the fact that production tends to in- crease faster than the capacity to purchase. Equalizing the flows of con- sumption and production undoubt- edly calls’ for a closer control over T{ production and a more careful study of the changes in consump- tion. Our economic system stimu- lates production more readily than consumption. But whatever plans are laid for such a program, there is little doubt that international coopera- tion will be needed. Our nation is linked too closely with the other nations, no matter what our wishes, to go it alone. This point was never so forcibly impressed upon us as by the pres- ent depression, which was largely caused by international credit difficulties and by the sudden withdrawal of the artificial stimu- lation to business in foreign coun- tries beginning in 1914 and ending in the late 1920's. If the way out cannot be clear- ly seen, it may be permissible to remind the reader that the purpose STRAND THEATER Stuart Erwin plays the role a a@ young man with $50,000,000 and a lot of book knowledge, who nevertheless has never even been kissed, in “He Learned About Women,” comedy in which he is featured with Alison Skipworth, Susan Fleming, and Gordon Westcott, which is showing at the Strand Theater to-| ® night. Erwin, who declined stardom after scoring a sensational suc- cess, oddly enough, in the pic- ture, “Make Me a Star,” does as: many strange things in his role as the eccentric young millionaire in “He Learned About Women.” He inherits a vast fortune id awakes to a sudden realization that it’s about time he saw life. On his first. venture out into the world, he stumbles into\an auction whére the . servites , of the,’ un- employed are being offered to the highest bidder. He impetu- ously bids high when Miss Flem- ing mounts the block, and, at her request, when Miss Skipworth, her friend, an old actress who has seen better days, is offered. He gets them both. Bewildered at first, women cook up a scheme. Miss Skipworth craftily lays plans for making Miss Fleming Erwin’s wife. Com tions, amusing but dramatic, are developing when Miss Skipworth’s ex-husband and an unscrupulous companion try to chisel in, too. A startling conclusion upsets everybody’s plans. the two | Three Complete High School Course Here Misses Florence Ackerman, Florence Filer and Helen Caviness have completed their high school course this mid-term. They will receive diplomas next June when the present Sqnior A's graduated. There were 523 students pro- moted in the Monroe county high school yesterday. Of this num- ber there were 74 who were pro- moted from the grammar schools to junior high, and entered class 7B. Others promoted were 77 to class 7. 48 to Class 8B; 56 to Class 8A; 35 to Class 9B; 60 to Class 9A; 46 to Class 10B; 22 to Class 10A; 35 to Class 11A; 25 here is to point, out the problem tt? Class 12B and 49 to Class i2A. and not to give the solution. But there is no reason we should be denied the hope that human in- telligence may in time meet with some success in lessening the rav- ages of business depressions.

To the millions who use a mouthwash or gargle for halitosis (bad breath), oral hygiene, and other antiseptic uses—here is news, indeed, of unusual savings. The makers of Vicks VapoRub have produced a quality oral anti- septic—Vicks Voratone Antiseptic —at actually less than half pre- vailing prices! The regular size, large 10-ounce bottle—a usual 75c value—is only 35c, This answer to the public’s problem of antiseptic costs is made possible by the record, low prices of raw materials, combined with Vicks facilities for mass pro- duction. Born in a depression year and priced accordingly, Vicks Voratone Antiseptic brings a new revelation of economy in an article widely accepted as a modern household necessity. Cutting ‘Affray Among Colored Persons. Here Harcourt Sands and Teresa Tor- res, colored, had an altercation in a colored dance hall on White- head street, in the old Dixie Theater, and Sands started to work on Teresa with a knife. According to the sheriff’s of- fice had the knife been sharper thé woman would have been prop- erly cut up. As it is she has a wound in the abdominal region several inches long which required five stitches to close. Sands is in the county jail awaiting the outcome of the. wound before being given a pre- liminary hearing. Jealousy was the cause of the act, it is said.
