It is always the hit dog that howls. Mayor Curley of Boston declined to go as ambassador to Poland, thereby dodging a lot of hatd pronunciation. Yesterday The Citizen printed its first beer advertisement.in 14 years. This is a news item that deserves editorial men- tion. We inn that. the ohn of Nations qwill establish an advisory office in Nan- king, China. “Advisory” is no doubt the -right name for it. The people of Key West are a kind hearted folk. They welcome the lame, the “halt and the blind, but draw the line on convicted felons. Ste. aan AL: abies, O., paper announced ‘that a pastor's sermon subject would be “Fools,” and @dded that “all those resid- ~ ing in the community are urged to be pres- ent.” Correspondence ‘schools advertise ‘édurses for those desiring postmaster- ships.

Judge H. H. Taylor is now in Tallahassee, where he will aid the Monroe county rep- resentatives in pressing for passage by the legislature of the bill setting up a state cominission appointed by Governor Sholtz to apply for the loan. In the meantime Mr. Porter remains in Washington for a few days where he is quoted as saying that “We are getting things in such shape that when the application is presented, we can expect to Know within a week or ten days just what the verdict will be.” THE BREWING INDUSTRY The one business that is enjoying all the benefit of the boomiest of boom periods is the brewing industry. Fourteen years of prohibition not only taught the value of good beer to those who had been acquainted wih it in precrahile | tion days, but during the fourteen years veer received an advertising that no pro- duet ever before received in the history of the eivilized world. The hysterical rush for beer on April 7th resembled the Fourth of July celebra- tion over the news of the destruction of the Spanish battlefleet back in 1898. In every section of the country the legalization of beer has put new life into industry. The two hundred breweries in com- mission are running night and day and are unable to keep up with the demand for beer. In all parts of the country old brew- ing plants are being renovated and put into commission. Old plants are being re-built every- where and new plants are being financed and building started. Everybody is feeling the benefit. Up in Charleston, West. Virginia, a chureh congregation the other day applied to the courts for a stay of foreclosure on a note of $10,000, secured by their church building, because the bulk of the church support came from the employees of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. The return of beer had put 6,000 em- ployes of this company back to work, the eompany planned to employ more and the church faced a new lease of life. The stay was granted. The brewing industry, in its revival, has brought new life to numbers of busi- nesses, and employment, directly and in- directly to hundreds of thousands of work- ers. MOCK DIGNITY The decision of the gentlemen in con- trol of the government reservation at Nia- ‘vara Falls, to the effect that they would not permit the serving of beer to visitors. because of the fact that it would detract from the dignity ef the spectacle, is @ bit. of unconscious humor. " The gentlemen in charge of the gov- ernment reserve are nothing if not digni- fied. It is difficult to realize just why peo- ple should be dignified when viewing the great waterfall. It isn’t easy to understand why drink- ing a glass of beer should belittle the grandy eur of the scene. Maybe it is because the gentlemen in charge are a bit jealous of the recent pop- ularity of beer. Perhaps they agree with the cold wa- ter crowd that beer and’ water do not make a good mixture. Well, perhaps the serving of beer at Niagara Falls might not be a matter of dig- nity. Neither is a fat man in a nightshirt a dignified spectacle, but fat men will con- tinue to wear nightshirts. They don’t pa- rade around the streets in them, so it is jast possible that the bridal couples see- ing Niagara will find oasis where they can enjoy their steins after having their fill of the Falls. Tt is perhaps a good thing that the en- joyment of one great pleasure is not inter- fered with by the closeness of another. SOME BIBLE FACTS Of the 66 books of the Bible $9 are in the Old Testament and 27 in the New, the former containing 929 chapters and the latter 260. Combined they have a total of 773,746 words. The word “Lord” occurs 1,855 times, “reverend,” “girl,” and “everlasting | punishment” but once each, and “everlast- ing fire” but twice. The longest verse is Esther 8:9, of 90 | words, and the shortest is John 11: “35, con- | sisting of two words, “Jesus wept.” The 19th chapter of Second Kings}; ahd the 37th chapter of Isaiah are alike. The Sth, 15th, 21st and 3lst verses of the 107th Psalm are alike, and each of the 26 vetses of the 186th Psalm ends alike, with the words “for his merey endureth for-} ever.” in Ezra 7:21 contains all the letters of | the alphabet except the letter “J.” The books of Obadiah, Philemon, ' Second John, Third John and Jude contain | only one chapter each. i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SOOO HOSS CorecerseusuUcvereeEeseeNesessesssaseoes Daily Cross-word Puzzle COSSSO CSSD OSES Heda Eo SHAeCoCSLEoORSECOBEE Solution of Vesterday’s Puzzle 2 whe acROss 1 Entire amount far ar aviator of } | } fella Fu iS | if #E 14. ib. monsters Rubber rin, [>| ZNO] P| Olen] ARS 4] Dolo} jael ip FSSE Ban FS ser BR F.20F i Where the ‘eerie a. ying clot: Alternative River in and France Belgium 42, Betrothed Sw 5.
