President Roosevelt was assistant sec- allio of the navy when Secretary Daniels w#S his chief.

And atong comes Post- ma®lér-General Farley and demands that hisfoptfit take it with a smile and like it. Fagjey is quoted as ordering that post- offiee clerks henceforth “must serve the pubt with uuvarying patieace, cheerful- ness. and courtesy.” If Key West postal cleska only were concerned, the last order was hot necessary as they have always bead ‘considerate, courteous and obliging. If there has been an exception, The Citi- wert has failed te hear of it. ‘BUSINESS PROSPECTS Business prospects are better. , The country has developed a renewed | confidence and although there are’ still many obstacles in the way of real _busi- ness progress, these will prahably eventually be removed. The fact that some of the obstacles have already been removed will start | things on the upgrade. The present obstacles still remaining | in the onward path of business are, first, the distress of the farmers. With farm re- lief legislation in the near future, no mat- ter what form it may take, the purchasing power of the farmers will be increased. The farm relief may be a protection from foreclosure of mortgages. It may be a reduction of intevest.charges. It may be a form of bounty. It may be higher prices for farm products. It may be a combina- ition of several or all of these. But whatever form the farm relief legis- lation takes, it will release funds that to- day are being held in reserve for emer- | gencies. The release of these emergency funds will enable farmers to make _ pur- chases. These purchases will start the general ball of business rolling. The starting up of the great brewing industry, which was the fourth largest in the. country prior to -prohibition, cannot help ‘but make a tremendous difference in| general business. The employment of the thousand of } men whose services will first be required in construction work and later in the plant operation, must result in tremendous em- ployment in other lines, and in turn these will further stimulate employment. The present stringency of capital will be relieved as soon as some of the debtors of the banks manage to repay some of the money owed to the banks, which will per- mit the bankers to resume business loans. The losses of the past three years have made collections diffieult for the banks, and difficult collections have made new loans difficult. With the old: loans reduced and new loans thus made possible, business must grow and prosper, and only a start is needed to sneed up business ieee aad VAGARIES nth GENIUS Nothing is quite so mysterious as the workings of the human mind. A study of men classed as geniuses generally shows them to be a little “cracked” in certain re- spects. Sometimes their peculiarities have been harmless, in others they have led to positive insanity. A few examples will il- lustrate. é Napoleon was afraid of a cat; Peter the Great was afraid to cross a_ bridge; Martin Luther imagined hat the devil ap- peared to him and he threw his ink bottle at the fiend. Samuel Johnson, Beethoven and Lincoln at times contemplated sui- cide. Among the ridiculous antics of great men may be mentioned the occasional habit of Cardinal Richelieu to gallop around a billiard table, imagining himself to be a horse. Adam Smith, the great economist, once walked 12 miles te church, cladtonly in his nightshirt. Bentham, the philésopher, went bareheaded in winter and wore heavy leather gloves in summer. Many men of genius! have been shockingly Jax in morals as measured by adopted standards, All this does not mean, however, that being a bit nutty is an infallible sign of genius, EVADING GAS TAXES Because of the lack of uniformity among the states in the matter of gasoline taxes, a considerable traffic in “bootleg” gasoline has grown up, in spite of all ef- forts of officials to suppress it. The plan is, of course, to buy gaso- line in a state with a low tax, transport it across the line and sell it in a state hav- ing a higher tax, without reporting the | sale to theauthorities. This has been done on a large scale by means of tank wagons, but through increased vigilance by state inspectors a great many such law vio- fators have been apprehended and made to pay the tax and a fine beside. Ia Missouri alone $178,574 in evaded taxes and fines was cellected in four years, while no one knows how many of “beetleggers” escaped detection. The practice will ne deubt continue to a greater or less extent as long as different gasoline tax rates exist among the several the } THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross«word Puzzle ACROSS 1.

H. Libbey, off Jupiter Lighthouse yesterday, were; brought to Key West this after-| noon by the coast guard cutter Cossack, Captain H. S. Brown, rea in command. The Utopia was en- route from Jacksonville to New York. The Libbey was on her way to Baton Rouge. An informal hearing was held in the court of Judge Hugh Gunn} this morning in which two young- sters, who were found drunk, were ; urged to tell the source of the/ liquor they had drunk. The boys stated they had found the bottles with the liquor in a garbage can. A warrant was issued to search e premises in the-rear of which the garbage can was said to be situated but on carrying out the search, Sheriff Curry nor his deputies could find any liquor. Herman Wolkowsky, well known furniture dealer, ‘states that he has just closed a contyact with one of the largest _manu- facturers of radios in the United States and in a brief time will place the product on the market.
