DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen It was a commendable impulse which | prompted the American Society of Com- ‘posers, Authors and Publishers to vote a Jife pension of $25 a week to James W., Blake, now 76, author of the words of. Written’ “The Sidewalks of ‘New York.” more than 80 years ago, the song had a during Al Smith's «campaign for “the-presidency in 1928. We are glad that “Mr. Blake is to he provided for, but we ‘alsé doubt that his song, or any other Tin’ ‘Pan Alley production, has sufficient ‘merit to entitle its author to a pension. “vertising ballyhoo tells this one: “I bought a cayburetor guaranteed to save 5Opercent on gas, a timer to save 80 per- ‘eent.and spark plug to save another 30, @icent, and after going 10 miles my gaso- Jit tank overflowed.” _ & Recent additions to the long list of’ schovl children’s “howlers”: “The Gulf Steam is composed of warm currants.”: “Cereals are stories which last several sweeks.” “A centimetre is an insect with 200 legs.” “Alibi. means ‘that you were somewhere else when you committed the crime.” “At a recent Christian Endeayor con- wention among the questions discussed avas this: “Can a Christian Endeavor girl wear. rolled stockings and use a lipstick?” The. official decision was not announced, but we suspect that in some cases she not Dnly can but does. If one is restless and his bed is near zn open window it is a good idea to hug a pillow. By doing so Richard Griffith of Baltimore, protected his head when he rolled from a third story window in his: sleep, thereby escaping with only minor! bruises. Thomas Reilly, payroll messenger for a Ohicago factory, promptly turned over a heavy bag to bandits who held him up, ‘nnd was allowed to go his way. Arriving gt the factory he took another sack con- taining the payroll money frem under the rar seat. The robbers had been given a bag of serap iren which Reilly had long carried for use in such an emergency. ae An odd paragraph in the account of a revival meeting appeared in.an Iowa news- paper, Which read: “Last night Evange- list Scoyille spoke on ‘The Bible Hell’ and Mr. Deloss Smith sang ‘We Will Meet You | Hitler may succeed. open foram end invites. iaiesie: | win.

The basic idea for the union of a people under an individual leader with dictatorial powers has been’ successful in Italy, but it remains to be seen if Hitler can do the same thing ,in Germany. The German people are in- dividualistic in thought, while the Italian are communal. It is problematic that he will, but Mussolini at the outset of his career was no more popular with the out- side world than is Hitler. Fears that Mussolini would create a hotbed of anarchy and chaos were more prevalent outside of Italy than were real hopes that he would lead the country into avenues of progress and prosperity. Conservative leaders of all nations shook their heads and predicted disaster. Conservatives have a way of doing that. Conservatives think only in terms of pros- perity. Patriots think in terms of people, which is the reason that patriots generally Property can be destroyed, but patriotism always survives. Patriots and patriotism alone will bring the world back to normal. Dollar worshipers and money changers, powerful as they may be in days of smooth national sailing, are helpless in times of great national stress. Their god is money and their evil spirit is fear. Italy under Mussolini has prospered. people's thoughts ‘| Germany under Hitler and the patriots who have joined with him may meet with the same success. However, if Hitler succeeds it will be | through the sacrifices of other nations and | peoples. A LESSON FOR MOBS How unjust it is to judge of guilt on the strength of superficial circumstantial evidence was illustrated some time ago by the case of a 11-year-old boy murdered in Arkansas, presumably for a small amount of money he carried. It was known that shortly before his death he had been in company with a one- ‘eyed negro boy, who also was _ missing. Search for the negro was begun, with open threats of summary vengeance. After sev- eral days the negro boy was found not far from where the white boy was killed. But he was also dead, with indications that he gave his life in common battle with the white lad’s murderers. Now suppose that the two ‘boys had separated before the white boy was killed. And suppose the mob had captured the negro lad, whose sightless eye would have identified him beyond question. There would have been just one more lynching of a negro, despite his pleadings and pro- testations of innocence. This should be a lesson for any who may be tempted to take part in mob mur- der. BAN ON BILLBOARDS Drastic action against the billboard nuisance is reported from the province of Ontario, Canada, where strict regulations are being enforced in pursuance of a re- cently enacted law. It is said that exist- ing billboards are being removed at the rate of about 100 a week. The Ontario law prohibits the erec- tion of billboards on the public highways, and even forbids the painting of advertis- } ing on barns or other buildings near the roadside. Signs erected by a person on his own property are restricted in size and are subject to a tax. Ne billboards may be erected at turns in the road, and old, unsightly signs must be cleaned up or re- moved. Enforcement of the new regulations has already made a marked improvement in the appearance of the countryside, and the absence of billboards will tend to re- duce the number of traffic accidents, it is believed. Regulations similar to those es- tablished in Ontario are being adopted in other Canadian provinces and might well be extended to the United States. Charles Wolf, a 15-year-old New York boy, has given up the idea of suicide, at least until warm weather comes. He jumped into East River, but quickly climbed out again, and when questioned said: “I intended to commit suicide, but the water was too cold.” Yet* | OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE TREASURY HERE 1s a provision in the Con- stitution that says the federal government has power to levy im- posts to be collected at the customs | 3 houses. It is an obviously simple provision, but performance of the privilege accorded there has been the basis for probably the greatest and most prolonged controversy into which politicians have set their teeth. Tariff “fights” or “issues” by whatever name known have formed the backbone of more campaigns between the political parties than I ean remember. Millions of citizens of our coun- try know of the treasury for one of two reasons: the money it han- dies or ‘the taxes it collects. A great many hundreds of thousands know of it, however, because of the customs service that was referred to. Next to tax collections, the treasury probably touches more peo- ple directly through the customs service than in any other way. Its primary function was to col- lect those imposts levied at the cus- toms houses, and ‘it does that Job, as every importer of merchandise of any kind can tell you. Not all imports are subject to tariff duties, but ‘those on whichy the impost is laid are examined with a fine- ‘toothed comb. Customs inspection is a term that is broad in its meaning. It goes be- yond just a casual examination; it means, actually, the most therough- going investigation. For example, the tariff law may say that a duty is laid upon an article of rubber, but it would add to that the phrase “or of which rubber is the article of chief value.” It is up to the customs inspector to determine how much rubber is used. Again, the levy may be laid at 10 per cent ad valorem, or 10 per cent of its value, The customs inspector and the ap- praiser of merchandise who work hand in hand, so to speak, have to determine what that value is. As I have stated, the customs service is designed for protection of the revenues as well as for collect- ing properly the duties on merchan- dise entering ports legally. In pro- tecting the revenues it has to pre- vent smuggling, and here is where another old and distinguished treas- ury service should be called onto the stage. I refer to the United States coast guard. The original purposes of the coast guard were named as protection of life an@ property at sea and pre- ention of illegal entry of merchan- dise, It has the added duty of stop- ping illegal entry of liquor—rum running—since the nation has been onder the Eighteenth amendment, but be it said to the credit of that organization, every blue uniformed officer and man of his crew retains the first conception of the service as a tradition to be followed, They may be found ir the places along shore ‘that apparently God forgot but where the storms of the sea strike hardest, and I have yet to encounter a single guardsman who complained of the bitter battles or hardships which are the lot of the United States coast guard. But while attention is directed at uncomplaining public servants, there is another agency in, the treasury that must not be overlooked, name- ly, the. United States public health service. Here is a group of highly trained men of science who delve into questions affecting or likely to affect the nation’s health, your health and mine. Many is the warning the local pub- lic ‘health department transmitted ‘to the citizens of a community that had its origin in the research and conclusions of the little group of | medical men making up the service and whose work in conjunction with state and city health officers extends from coast to coast. It was they, for instance, who shed the light of science on parrot fever a few years ago and taught a nation how to fend it off. Another example: they have studied the anti-freeze so- lutions used in automobile radia- tors and have branded some of them as dangerous to health because the fumes given off are poisonous. No picture of treasury operations would be complete without a refer- : ence to the office of supervising architect. Especially is this true under present conditions, when the , federal government is proceeding with vast programs of building. Every day, the plans for a post office, or federal courts building, or! custom house or some other build- ing with a public purpose, are be- ing completed, and they are pre pared by or under supervision of the architects in the treasury. Before these architects start work, however, a branch of their office has examined available sites in the city or town where the buiid- ing Is to be, consulted with the lo- cal authorities as to the needs, pur- ehased the site out of federal funds and has received from congress au- } thority to proceed. So again, the treasury, though it be miles and miles from you, wields its influence on sour dajly life. Poison Onk or Ivy is relieved quickly with Imperial Eczema Remedy.
