DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Washington newspapermen got a break with the advent of 3.2 per cent beer, Several cases presented to President Roose- *- velt by various breweries were turned over to the National Press ‘Club with his compli- ments. Now would that be classed as an attempt to subsidize the press? it ‘It may interest some to know that the first woman typist in the world is still alive and well at the age of 80. She is Mrs. Charles L. Fortier of Milwaukee, daugh- ter of Christopher. Latham Sholes, who is eredited with being the inventor of the first practical typewriter. Some 2,000 children between 9 and 6 Bdinburgh were questioned regard- g their favorite film stars, Janet Gaynor eived the most votes from both boys and ris; hoys placed Marie Dressler’ second, ike girls gave that place to Constance Donald as third. Among men players the boys put Laurel and Hardy at the top, while the girls gave them second place and Ronald Colman first; Jack Holt and Slim Reading about the forthcoming Chi- cago world’s fair reminded Mrs. Henry rs ‘of that city to get a divorce from Sh husband, who disappeared while on “his way to become a guard at the Colum- . bian Exposition in 1893.

If you would have a face free from wrinkles, take care of your feet, says the chiropodists, They ‘asseit' that wrinkles are only the records of suffering from corns, bunions, fallen arches and ingrow- ing toenails.

Prices are today at a very low level, hardly expressing the actual values of the securi- ties of the various corporations whose stocks and-bonds are listed. Government supervision of values is only a matter of days. With such supervision guaranteeing values, even though in,some instances they may be speculative, public confidence will grow. Fifteen months of national have passed and this idleness has been Ye- flected in the market prices of securities. There is every reason to believe that for these fifteen months the business of the country has been resting on the bottom— the ultimate bottom, Conditions are not apt to become worse. As a matter of fact, there is every reason for the belief that they will improve. Signs of such improve- ment are found on every sidé and the re- birth of the enormous beer industry has been like a hypodermic injection of busi- ness serum, There is a reserve of money in hiding that will emerge as soon as the business world indicates a sustained improvement. The government figures for hoarded gold indicate that there is a billion of dollars in gold alone in hiding, There is probably an equal greater amount in actual cash also in reserve. The emergency of any substantial portion of this hidden wealth, which improvement in business will surely bring out, will find-its echo in Wall Street. Prices will start upward, Investment in American industrial stocks is strongly recommended at this time. There should be no further recessions, WHAT IS A MAN WORTH? Recent agitation against fabulous salaries or other compensation paid to top- notchers in the business and amusement world have brought to light some amazing figures. Nearly everyone is familiar with the high values placed upon certain noted athletic, movie and radio stars; also there is general knowledge that high railroad and other industrial executives have been receiving enormous salaries, One outstanding example of extrav: gant remuneration for personal services is that reeéiyed by George W. Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company. Ac- cording to the official reports furnished to stockholders of that company Mr. Hill has teceived salaries and bonuses as follows: -In addition to a salary of $160,000 a year he received a bonus of $447,870 in 1929, $842,508 in 1980, $891,570 in 1931. Tn 1982 his salary was cut to $120,000, but in addition he received a bonus of $669,- 500, or a total of $789,500 for the year. These large bonuses, it is understood, have been based upon the net earnings of the company, supposedly dué to Mr, Hill's ability as a manager, And there is no doubt that he has been and is today one of the most efficient and successful executives in the world, In spite of the depression, his company has continued to. make enor- mous profits. And during the four years since the business slump began he has re- ceived hetween. $600,000 and). $1,000,000 a year for his services. The question arises as to. whether he or any other man is entitled to receive that much money for managing any business, however large it may be. In other words, how much can the services of any man possibly be worth? A. hard question to answer. PLENTY OF BUSINESS What the brewing business means to the prosperity of the country has been shown by the reports of increased business everywhere. From all sides come reports of re- newed activity in general business. But the surface has not scratehed, When prohibition:went into effect there were about 1,500 breweries operating in the United States, When beer was legalized there were 164 breweries oper- ating. This means that more than 1,300 plants will have to be remodelled or re- built. That means a tremendous amount of employment. Meanwhile there will probably be a beer famine, with the breweries now run- ning totally unable to meet the demand. The benefits to the country can hardly be realized by those unfamiliar with the facts. been idleness }' Daily Cross-word Pu Reececconopanoscanccecncssoasscsscconscensep jooes | ACROSS Solution of Yesterday’s Puzzle & Seach 1.

There has been little hazing of | the new members such as has. been| so noticeable in previous new} congresses. Perhaps a lot of it has to do with the fact that many of the old-time disciplinarians are absent. Underhill of Massachusetts, for example, is gone.

He came back at MeFarlane vigorously, de- elaring that the charge was an old one which had long since been disproved and that he was amazed that the Texan would bring it up again, Order—Finally Then the house did something that one rarely sees, A burst of applause was heard that drowned out everything. It kept up. When McFarlane at- tempted to resume his speech the applause was only the louder. It looked for @ while as if he would not be able to continue. But Marvin Jones of Texas, who was presiding, pounded his gavel with such force that order was finally restored, McFarlane resumed talking, but in a different manner, It was evident that “the applause under the seat” had had its effect.
