The effect was Paralleling the old story of the fellow who spent his last dollar for a bill-fold comes one from Wisconsin where a farmer traded his only cow for a milking ma- chine. , That even a former vice-president may come back is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Curtis has been admitted to prac- tice law before the Interstate Commerce Commission. After 11 months of warfare, Paraguay formally declared war this week on Bolivia. Japan has been fighting China for a long time and annexing territory, yet has not declared war, This is a topsyturvy world. If we are favored with a loan for the bridges and money comes trickling into Key West, one of the first thing property owners should do is to paint the buildings. Nothing makes a house look so shabby as the lack of paint. Before her departure for Denmark, Minister Ruth Bryan Owen was the reci- pient of numerous bouquets of flowers, and the one particularly referred toe by her in the Associated Press dispatch published in The Citizen yesterday was from the “young people of Key West.” Mrs. Owen is a sin- cere friend of this city, Robert W. Bingham, millionaire newspaper publisher, and ambassador to the Court of St. James, said that he “positively will not” wear knee breeches at his presentation to the king. If he doesn't don the prescribed abbreviated pants; he may be proseribed, so it is pos- sible he will change his mind and his pants, MOTHER’S DAY Mother’s Day,-which is the second Sunday in May, falls on May 14 this year and will be observed throughout the United States in response to the annual proclama- tion by the President. It is well known, the object of the day | is to recall memories of the mothers who have passed to the beyond and to pay spec- ial tributes of affection to those living. The badge for the day is the white carnation, emblematic of the purity, beauty and fidel- ity of a mother’s love. By some the, red carnation is worn in honor of living mo- thers. Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia ori- ginated the idea of Mother’s Day, which was observed in several cities in 1910, the custom being extended.rapidly in the fol- lowing years. Congress in 19138 passed a resolution offered by Congressman J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama (later Senator) recommending observance of the day by its members and by the executive departments at Washing- ton. In 1914 Congress authorized the President to designate the second Sunday in May of each year as Mother’s Day, the first proclamation under this authority be- ing issued by President Wilson on May 9, 1914. Few of us reflect as often as we should on the debt of love and gratitude we owe to our mothers.. By thoughts and acts of sincere affection on Mother’s Day, we not only honor them, but also honor ourselves. WOMEN DO MOST BUYING Long before women got the _ ballot, their influence in state matters was large. The official lives of some of the world’s greatest men have been influenced by wo- men. Today women are taking a much greater part in government and in business. It is estimated that 75 to 90 percent of all retail buying in this country is done by them. Thus those who offer products for the home must make them with special ap- peal to women. Some may argue that while women do buy food, clothing and the like, their in- fluence does not extend further in manu- facturing and in business. Makers of many other products know differently. Take the household washing machine, for ex- ample. Those of even ten years ago were ugly, clumsy and inefficient to those of to- day. Women became tired of the unat- tractive old models, demanded machines that would help enrich and beautify their homes, and the manufacturers quickly, took the hint. ’ Consequently, today’s washers are sleek and efficient, made in glistening enamels and shiny metals, easily rubbed | bright and clean. They do their work quickly, easily, economically, of course. Modern woman’s influence on manu- facturing through her buying power is something that dealers, too, should heed. Women buy most readily from the dealers who most convincingly show how the things they sell will fill the real needs in the homes, save money, time and labor. WORLD’S WONDER MARE With the opening of the racing season old timers‘around the tracks again indulge in reminiscences concerning great horses of the past, but few now living ever saw in action the miracle of them all, Gold- smith Maid, born in 1857 and died in 1885. Although she was the fastest trotter of her day and held the world’s record for seven years, her claim to undying fame is not due to her speed alone. A few sal- ient facts connected with her career will explain: Her dam was a gray mare, but her sire was a thoroughbred. Goldsmith Maid was a farm animal until she was 6, ran her first race and won it at 8, ran her last time and won at the age of 20. Her speed in- creased with the years, her best time being 2:14, made when she was still the world’s champion trotter at the age of 18. Her records were made while driven te the old high wheeled sulky, before the age of pneumatic tires. Her winnings were $364,000, exceeded only by Sun Beau's $440,000, in spite of he higher purs- es offered in recent years. Goldsmith Maid ran in 123 separate races, some of three or five heats each, coming in first in 97, second in 16, third in 7, fourth in 1, and being unplaced in only 2. It is said that “she traveled more than any horse that ever lived. yet traveling never dulled her speed, nor affected her gentle and affectionante disposition.” What a horse! | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN POCoeneccacescocsccccescscasesssenecsecosecoseoees Daily Cross-word Puzzle He! 28.
