Mrs. Virgil Cordero will pre- sent a “Radio Revue,” in which will be seen impersonations of movie stars. Those. who have attended re- hearsals of this entertainment state that it is something worth seeing, and something which has never before been shown in Key West. As the proceeds are for the lunch fund which this Parent- Teacher Association is trying to raise in order to continue the work of providing free. lunches for school children who would other- wise remain all during the school hours without food, it is hoped that the public will attend this entertainment tonight.

IN MEMORIAM Hundreds of Key Westers will mourn the passing of Rabbi Robert Rachmil of the local Jewish con- gregation in this city, who died in Atlanta some time ago. Rabbi Rachmil was a true serv- ant of humanity, and many people have been benefited by his great teachings and knowledge of hu- man nature, He was a friend to rich and poor alike and never was too busy or too tired to when called. If any man deserves a crown in Heaven, certainly he does. His ser- viee to his fellow man was a fit- ting monument, to his life. He has a place in the hearts of the people of Key West which will be difficult for anyone to fill.

Shortly before noon Zan- gara, unshackled and ap- pearing non-chalant, was led into the courtroom by deputies. The room was pasked to capacity by curious specta- tors and more than 100 stood in the corridor unable gain admittance. Dressed in a light blue- spotted shirt, open at the throat, and white trousers and shoes, Zangara gazed about the courtroom and chatted with deputies. The sheriff had 20 deputies stationed about the courtroom to prevent any possible demonstration against the assassin. There was no disturbance, but a deputy forcibly ejected an unidentified man who tried to loiter near the Prisoner.

I would News- like to show you Key West. I]- would like to walk you through the city, show you the quaint streets of weird houses, the beauti- ful “Casa Marina;”. the remains of old temples, and forts. I would like to point out the vivid colors of sea and sky. I would like to show you the turtle bins, the rest- ing place of the victims of the Maine, the glistening white of the coral, the lovely’ colors ‘of \the ‘sea shells... Having .done . these and ether things, I would ask you, whether it was not ideal, -and whether Key West was not @ woh- derful place. for a person straight from Hudson to go ‘to.

PROSPERITY RULES BY LAW IN PACIFIC ISLE (Ry Ansociated Prens) AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Feb. 17.—Poverty is a criminal offense on the beautiful Pacific island of Tonga, 1,500 miles northwest of Auckland. A compulsory prosperity law is in force on the island and it is re- garded as a most serious offense to break it. The prime minister of Tonga, Prince Tugi, who is also consort of Queen Salote Tubou, explained the system when he visited Auck- land while escorting his son to Newington College, Sydney. He says that the law requires that when a Tonga youth reaches the age of 16 he shall receive eight and a quarter acres of land from the state. Eight acres of this he must plant as an insurance against starvation. The other quarter of) an acre is a building plot in the village, and he has to put up a home on it. When a man dies, the land re- verts to the crown and is allotted again, STRAND THEATER Cecccceccanccaccacesecet Millions of persons have won- dered how Lee Tracy manages to retain his boyish appearance. It was that lovable boyish look which first endeared him to New York audiences when they cheerfully paid as much as $20 to see him on the stage in “Broadway”. Since his recent return to Hollywood where he has been the most sought- after young actor in the movie colony, Tracy has appeared in “Love Is A Racket,” “The Strange Love of Molly Louvain,” “Doctor X,” “Blessed Event,” and “Night Mayor” for Columbia. A visitor to the Columbia, studio, while he was working in “Wash- ington Merry-go-Round,” got a hint of the reason/for that boyish look when he saw Tracy busily engaged in a game of mumblety- peg with a young lad who was ap- pearing in the same picture, Tracy looks at life with a youthful, cheer- ful attitude. Mumblety-peg, in case you nev- er played it as a boy, is the game which is played with a -jackknife, throwing it into wood, “Washington Merry-go-Round” presents Tracy as a young Con- gressman.

Five Million Trial Bottles of Vicks Antiseptic Furnish Proof of Its Quality—and Its Amazing Economy! GUARANTEED BY DRUGGISTS The makers of Vicks VapoRub have produced an antiseptic which does everything that a gargle or mouthwash can and should do— at half the usual price of other quality antisepties. The name of this new product is Vicks Vora- tone Antiseptic. Of course, the only real proof of its quality and amazing economy is actual use. To furnish this proof, Vicks Chemists sup- plied to draggists—at less than cost—5 million special trial bot- tles—a 25e value for 10c. These trial bottles have gone so quickly that this offer is now made: If your druggist’s supply of the trial size is exhausted, get one of the 35¢c bottles, Use it a week. Then, if you are not delighted with its quality, and. amazing economy, your money will be re- funded. Mild Enough, Strong Enough © No extravagant claims are madé for Vicks Voratone.. It is simply the best ‘oral \antiseptic Vicks Chemists could produce—and they were aided by the chémists, bacte- riologists and pharmacologists of their 16 allied organizations here and in Europe. They created a balanced anti- septic—mild enough to be used day in and day out without risk to delicate membranes; yet strong enough to do everything that an oral antiseptic can and should do. For All Customary.
