Roosevelt, president-elect, comes to Florida waters, either'as president or former president, he need not go to Nassau to get it legitimately ; he will be able to get it legitimately Fight here in Florida, “Carter Glass, who has been frequently mentioned as secretary of the treasury in the-Roosevelt cabinet, is definitely out of the-runsideration. He believes the onerous duties for a man of his age, 75, will be too strenuous. “Pluck” would have made a dandy treasurer, Soenneeameeenmennesmeel Fort Pierce is economizing with a vengeance.

While it is net likely that she will obtain a eabinet portfolic since Miss Perkins ap- pears to be definitely slated for Secretary of Labor, and two women in the cabinet would be one toe many, the “adopted of Key West” will most likely be appointed minister te some foreign country. It ts being rumored in political a she will be appointed Minister to if this remor materializes, she will have as companion Madame Kollontay, representing Russia at Stockholm. LINCOLN’S WAR AIM The reeurrence of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday tomorrow revives memories of our first martyred president, now revered in the south as well as in the north. So rich in human interest was Lin- coln’s life that it presents almost unlimited material for the writer—material of which wide use has been made during the past sixty-odd years, But by the present gen- eration it is probable that Lincoln’s para- mount aim during the Civil War is not so well understood as it should be. Doubtless the general impression is that his chief object was the abolition of slavery. While Lincoln was always against slavery on principle, his original idea was to abolish it by paying slave-owners for their property from the national treasury, thus gradualy emancipating the negro. Such a proposal was made by him as early as 1849 when a member of congress, and was renewed in 1862, while the war was in progress. But his real aim during the war was the preservation of the nation as one union, with the abolishment of slavery as a secondary consideration. This is best illustrated by his famous letter to Horace Greely on August 22, 1862, in which he said? “My paramount object is to save the Union, and not either: to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union with- out freeing any slave, I would do it; if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.” A NEW COLLEGE COURSE Washing machines are going to col- lege. But in this case the regular pro- cedure has been reversed. It is the ‘in- stitution that is doing the studying. When the University of Nebraska ends_ its observations next June it expects to have new information of much value to house- wives. American washing machine manu- facturers are represented by a full array of washers which home economics experts | « of the university and of McCall’s magazine are using ina series of tests. Each washer. maker today knows from factory teSts how the housewife can get maximum benefits from his machines, The Nebraska study is expected to produce a number of special discoveries for the benefit of housewives in general. Disused space in a University build- ing was fitted up at small cost as a home elethes-washing room, to show. the ease with which any housewife can equip her home. Each washing done by the in- vestigators is for a family of two adults and three children. It. is practical work like this that makes our educational institutions of great- est benefit to the greatest number. Manufacturers, educators and editors can- not be endorsed too strongly for this co- operation in further lightening women’s household efforts. Millions of homes have washers and the — 's aay: will aid all at them. . .. A TEMPORARY DIVORCE While the idea of Mr. and Mrs. Fiorian L. Hummer of Cleveland, regard- ing getting a divorce but remaining friends is not new, their experiment had a rather unusual sequel, Deciding that they could no longer live as man and wife in happiness, they agreed to secure a divorce, but to remain in. their $40,000 home, she as manager of the household and he as merely a boarder. At the end of 30 days they felt the urge to make up and have the divorce set aside. Seeking the judge who had made the decree, they informed him of their de- sire. They were pleasantly surprised to be informed that the judge had never signed the record, having suspected how matters would turn out, consequently they had not been legally divorced at all. There are probably many other couples who might save their matrimonial bark from shipwreck by a temporary severance of relations by mutual consent, instead of rushing to the divorce court on slight vrovocation. In the convoluted certex of our fore- brain there are about 9,000 million cells, the medical profession informs. So don’t worry and think constantly: there are plenty cells in which to store your thoughts. |, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Our Government —How It Operates By William Brackart emmeenccnnneecnncccneucns HUNTING THE MARKETS ‘TIS untrue to say that commerce knows.no barriers, yet it must be explained that it knows no barriers snsofar as the age-old law of supply ; and demand is concerned. Where the demand is sufficient, there com- merce will flow just as surely as water seeks its own level. Hence, a great commercial and industrial people, if they are to re- main so, must be kept acquainted | with where that demand is. Unless they are apprised, and apprised quickly of the existence of a mar. Het there ts a very real danger that | some enterprising group elsewhere wil become the early bird that catches the worm, Without fear of contradiction, I think it can be said, the faet that American export trade has captured 80 much of the world trade has been attributable to. the ever watchful eye of the bureau of foreign and. domestle commerce, In this unit keeping a finger on the world’s busi- ness pulse, For instance, regularly the bureau makes public reports from the rub- ber estates of Ceylon. With equal regularity, it receives and dissem- inates the latest details of the Brad. ford wool prices, Again, it re- celves and passes to the trade here the facts about the newest tariff decrees of every country that occu- pies a position of importance in our export market, and that just about employed by the government in get- ting this information. ‘There is what is called in a gen- eral term, the foreign. service of the United. States, That corps com- prises representatives of the Depart- ment of State as well as the De partment of Commerce. The De partment of Commerce men, obvi ously, are trade men, Those of the State department may not be so classified, for some of them—many of them, in fact—have other duties that are more important to the ex- ecutive department which they serve, In every important, capital, there. is an official attached to, the em- bassy or legation who is called a commercial attache. In addition there is stationed at the same post 4 trade commissioner. The former in State department man, while the iatier is strictly what his title im- plies, Trade commissioners are as- signed aswell to many com! 3 and in circles. In nacitite. to all of those men- tioned, there aré consuls and vice eonsuls galore, literally scores of them, Rach of-these individuals has been trained to examine the economic and financial conditions-of the territory under his supervision; each has everlooked no opportunity to study the trade needs, the market poten- tilities, and appraise the problems related to the selling of American products and buying for Ameriean eonsumption. They ‘will know, for example, whether the railways of Brazil are going to need additional rubber hose for thelr passenger car cleansing, whether the land tax in Spain is go- ing to work a hardship on holdings there of American corporations, whether the teak production of Siam is rising or declining, or whether some nation is promot- ing an industry of moment in the production of carbon black or other . | Grande, ‘The question in the mind of every person interested either through his own holdings or the holdings of a corporation im which he was stock: holder was what effect that politica) condition would have on his money. The trade commissioner and the con- sul were sending daily dispatches those dispatches did not than ever. The result was that off. clals of the Department of Com- merce knew almost instantly what @ifficulties faced the American in- vestor, the American exporter or the American importer, and let it be said here that they bad a yer- itable deluge of Inquiries concern- ing them.
