DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Disregarding all warnings against De- cember-May marriages, Dr. Albert Shaw, aged 75, editor of the Review of Reviews and one of America’s most distinguished publicists, recently married his 22-year-old secretary, Miss Virginia McCall. Dr. Shaw’s first wife died in 1881. Mrs, Ruth Bryan Owen has taken up her duties as minister to Denmark, being the first American woman to hold such a post. Her job should be a pleasant one, as there is nothing rotten in Denmark at present, so far as we know, and that coun- try of contented cows owes Uncle Sam no war debt. .. , A veterans’ organization called the Shirts” is le aii another bonus Finis i Washington. ti boys some fun and the leaders some not too enviable notoriety, and that’s all it will amoynt'to. if these buddies really have khaki shirts they are better off than a lot of fol! ¥ Authorities of Subotista, Jugoslavia, have exceeded in ingenuity our American tax inventors. In that city each street sign and door plate is taxed $16 a year, with the iy Sa there are few of either left. Only the {largest astablishments have signs, and doctors, lawyers and other professional men are harder to locate than an American speakeasy. It seems almost impossible to get rid of hackneyed expressions, espesially in newspaper writing. The Chicago Tribune, sae admits being the world’s r, still. informs us that ig rife.” “And no doubt get- ting rifer every minute. Turkey's new anti-foreign ikblovesbhi law permits only native janitors, gardeners, milkmen, waiters, grocers, chauffeurs, doctors, lawyers, chemists and musicians to pursue their vocations in that country, Several American jazz bands will be af- fected by the law, which goes into effect June 16. Just why Jazz players are classified as musicians is not quite clear. It’s something hard to explain things said in one’s sleep, asa young bride of Knoxville, Temn., can testify. When her husband returned home at night and pinch- ed her leg as she slept, she cried out: “Quit, Frank!” — The husband, whose name is George Horton, is suing for divorce: How's this for a war debt hangover? Tn 1861 the town of Exeter, R. L., borrowed $9,150 given as bounty money to soldiers sent to the front, and the principal is stil! unpaid, The town has done some better than our late allies, however. It has paid the interest promptly in a total amount of more than $25,000 to date. Mustrating styles in women's hats rep- resenting several decades, a newspaper feature article comments on some of the odd-looking ones and adds: “By 1934 we'll be laughing at the 1933 models.” We agree, but why wait? may give the ‘members know that their speeches will be OUR LAST CLIPPER SHIP Of historic interest is the sale of an unusual antique, described as an item in the “art” collection of Max Williams of New York. Benjamin F. Packard, last of the clipper ships, saved from the scrap-heap as a relic when placed out of commission a few years ago. The achievements of the long line of American clipper ships which carried the Stars and Stripes and bore American com- merce on the seven seas are notable in the history of navigation. These sturdy and speedy vessels represented the last effort of the sailing ship to compete. with the steamer on long voyages with heavy cargo. Though finally defeated, they delayed the victory of steam propulsion for many years. First of the clipper type was the Rain- bow, built in 1848 at Baltimore, home of a famous fleet of these fast vessels, which often beat the steamers of their day in trans-Atlantic voyages. The quickest crossing of the Atlantic under sail is said to have been that of the Dreadnought, New York to Ireland, in 12 days, in June, 1859. Another famous record was that of the Lightning, built. in Boston, which once sailed 2,550 English miles in seven days. | The fastest day’s record ever made by a sailing ship on any sea was 437 miles in 24 hours by the Sovereign of the © Seas, during a voyage between New York and San Francisco. From the Rainbow to the Sasaiisin F. Packard these speedy clippers served their owners and their country well. They bore eloquent testimony to the genius of American shipbuilders and to the con- summate seamanship of American sailors. Their glory is a part of our national heritage. CUTTING THE “RECORD” A biJl has been introduced in the house to reduce the free circulation of the Congressional Record by 25,000 copies daily. Instead of every senator receiving 85 copies he would receive only five. Rep- resentatives would get four copies instead of sixty.’ It is ‘believed this simplé move would save $4,000 a day on the ‘govern- ment’s printing bill. “The immediate objectives of the legislation,” says its sponsor, Representa- tive Cannor of Milwaukee, “are economy and the speeding up of legislation. When franked to thousands of citizens in all parts of the country, some very naturally desire to speak often and at great length on matters which merit, little if any dis- cussion. “The existing practice with regard to the Congressional Record is in my opinion a colossal fraud on the taxpayers of the country. If this bill is enacted, it will put an end to the useless chatter daily heard on the floor of the house by those anxious | to see their names printed in the Record.” Perhaps that is too optimistic a view, yet the plan is certainly. worth trying. The Congressional Record ought to be an honest record of public’: legislation. It should not be a publicity medium for sel- fish congressmen. And it should not be so overweighted with political speeches that the citizen who receives it declines to read it. THE VALUE OF TRAVEL Soon the vacation season will be here, and many thousands of persons will visit various interesting places for the first time soon in our own country and others abroad. While recreation will be the principal aim of many, a majority will ex- pect to learn something of permanent value during their travels. Tn order that one may derive the most benefit from his travel experiences, it would be well to find out as much as pos- sible about the places to be visited ahead of time. Then, when he'actually sees the places and objects of which he has studied, he will gain a more lasting impression of their significance. Information gained from guides and handbooks during one’s travels is valuable, of course, but it is generally superficial, and lacking in the historical background which is necessary for a full under- standing, and appreciation of the famous places where history has been made. The educational value of travel de- pends largely upon knowing beforehand what one wants to see, and why. It was a 2,000-ton vessel, the |' THE KEY WEST CITIZEN 800000000000 2OCOSOOOOTOOESESOEHSVASOHOOHCOSHOGDSE | COOSSOOHLOHSESOOOOSOOSSO® Daily Cross-word Puzzle, eeceecece: eacescccce ACROSS Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle , b Dischargea & ‘The birds | Wes Bay HT IRIAI Young devil 1% Molten rock ns ane 1 Belgian river 16.
