SIDELIGHTS we By MARCY B. DARNALL, ‘Former Editor of The Key West Citizen , Hearst newspapers are agitating for ‘the observance of President’s Day, _andawe don’t object to such observance by anyone who thinks it necessary. It seems _ to W&, however, that every day since March 4 lias been President’s Day, and we sug- ‘instead a Vice-President’s Day, in or- “that Mr. Garner may not be entirely ptten. 4 rare phenomenon is presented by | the*Long Island Chamber of Commerce. Tn otder to protect the public from un- pulous real estate promoters, that has denied that the motion picture ry is to move from Hollywood to Island. It says:. “The chamber ild be among the first to encourage any inble development, but it. has. eon- be ‘these items by the Associated are significant of a “new deal” for obbin. (Of course, it is understood that-no horse was ever named Dobbin.) 1. A btahd new watering trough for horses has Déen installed at Fairview, Okla. 2. Six yew hitching posts have been erected on the main street of Capac, Mich. In- eidentally, Capac spelled backwards is still Gapac, VME ne A newsboy of Green Bay, Wis., had a néw. suit for Easter because of his good meniory. Some years ago Ben Ybsaut told the Boy: * ./hen you can sell me a paper tiatsays good beer is\back, Ili buy you a 2 iad of clothes.” And Ben kept his word, Fer the benefit of any who may won- der wi! becomes of former baseball stars it may be said that one of them, Rube Marquard, is employed as checker at the Laurel, Md., race track, Rabe holds the world’s record for the most consécu- tive pitching victories—having won 20 straight games in 1912 for the New York Giants, Judge Arthur Conley of Elkhart, Ind., helieves that in some cases the end justi, fies the means. When Morris Shock was arraigned for operating a truck 72 feet long, the judge asked why he needed a track that \size, and Shock replied: “To carry a-whale I'm taking to Chicago for the world’s fair.” He was released. If rehparsals for weddings are ap- propriate, why not rehearsals for funerals? Alfred Spry, retired blacksmith of Ply- mouth, Eng., who lives up to his name in spite of his 9 years, selected six women to act as pallbearers, bought special ap- pare! for them and had a full dress re- hearsal of the inevitable ceremony. He then wave the funeral party a big blow-out on his birthday. Mussolini is overlooking no bets in his program for improving conditions in his country, He recently imported 40 plump AmerigAn frogs, 20 male and 20 female, to aid in developing better breeds of Italian frogs, which he says are now scrawny, tough and unappetizing. CUBAN INTERVENTION The situation in Cuba, which has been bad for several years, grows much worse. President Machado, elected constitutionally’ at first, has kept himself in power by un- constitutional means, There is widespread dissatisfaction. Lately there has been a reign of terror. Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York, wants American intervention to re- move Machado and substitute a provisional president, to be followed by one regularly elected by the people. He thinks this ac- tion would be justified by humanitarian reasons and by the-vast business interests our people have in Cuba—also by the Platt Amendment to the Cuban Constitution, which gives our government a right to in- tervene in a crisis. Machado is kept in power, he says, by the support of New York bankers. Many Americans, in public and pri- vate life, feel with Mr. Fish that, having freed the Cubans from Spanish tyranny, and being a close and deeply interested neighbor, we would keep them free. We may have to intervene. But it is a delicate situation. We are trying hard to win back the half-alienated Latin-American na- tions by convincing them that we have com- plete respect for them and their institu- tions, and ne inclination to interfere. It would be easier to intervene in Cuba now if we had not intervened so often in other countries for less cause. THE SALES TAX CHIMERA (Tampa Tribune If the Tampa Real Estate Board should get the sales tax which it has en- dorsed, we greatly fear that it would find it had acquired a “gold brick.” it has been the history of all such measures, in this state at least, new tax revenue brings with it new ways of spend- ing it. With the large cost of administra- tion and. collection of a general sales tax, and with the new methods for getting rid of the money which unquestionably would be devised, very little of the revenue would be applied to relieving the tax on real estate. The question has been so often and so thoroughly threshed out, and almost in- variably to the discredit of the sales tax ‘idea, that it is a bit surprising to see it still seriously advocated, Anyway, the governor says he will veto any salés bill which comes to his desk; and, as the Key West Citizen puts it, “we know a death knell when we hear it.” ODD CAUSES OF DEATH While death is not usually an amus- ing subject, the passing of certain citizens of Alabama has been attributed to some- what amusing circumstances, according to a report of the health department at Montgomery. As certified by local authorities of various counties, these were among the causes of death, according to the official record: Nervousness from gun shot. Auto accident, complicated hook worm. 4 Fractured skull; contributory, mule. Auto wreck started it, pneumonia ended it. Stab wound of chest, inflicted by lady friend. Hit over head with slop jar. Leakage of head. Frightened to death by deputy sheriff. Rubbed to death by chiropractor. KIDS ARE JUST KIDS * with In this age of researches, surveys and investigations, it is sometimes encouraging to note that in most cases things are just about as sensible folks suspected before we had so much research. For example, after an elaborate study of many school pupils by experts of Wit- tenberg College, it was discovered that students from large families were as bright as those from small families. Also that there was a fair degree of uniformity among students who happened to be the oldest, middle or youngest in their respec- tive families. Again, it didn’t seem to make much difference in the intelligence of the off- spring whether either or both of the parents were college graduates or not. All of which indicaes that the aver- age pupil is just about average, no matter what happened to his folks beforehand. Which, again and also, is what most of us knew all the time. oeeseceaceccoeecocovecscovencce: Daily Cross- VOSSSCOKCESECoOOCEHEHOSELeRDREEDAO Solution of Vesterday’s Puzzie PRCITMACACTEMMPTGTE] ian | | 1705—Jonn J.
