Some folks are walking to weight, others expenses. reduce ° Those who think the world isn’t get- ting better may reflect that Al Capone has been in prison more than a year. Not birth control but girth control is bothering some folks just now. The em- bonpoint is becoming too pointed for com- fort. With this dealcoholized beer going down’ in price it is hardly appropriate to refer to the decline as staggering reduc- tions. » 4m Mlinois mayor and chief of police chargé each other with being in league with criminals. And the word of such high authorities is entitled to respect. “What are his politics?” was once asked of a chaplain, nominated to the house of representatives. “He has none, he is @ Christian,” was the apt answer given. “Frequent water-drinking,” says Gladys’ Glad, “prevents you from getting stiff in the joints.” “Yes, but some joints don’t serve water,” retorts the Edinburgh (Texas) deme Review. Arcturus has had so much advertis- ing lately that a chap with a telescope could make a few shekels allowing gaping crowds to have a look at the star that started the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago. Tavestigation of officials by congress and state legislative bodies very seldom have results other than white-washing of PERC a NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEND The public has grown weary of the old slogans to the effect that “Prices are booming! Buy now!” etc. But there’s truth in those phrases at present. Recent inflation activities and the prospective change in the gold backing of | the dollar, will be the most powerful price stimulant in three years. It really is time to buy now! Best of all, by buying now, and build- ing and repairing now, you can do your bit in the most dramatic stage of the war against unemployment and distress and at the same time secure the greatest return on your dollar in more than a genera- tion. A dollar in property improvement means a dollar touching the lives of a thousand people—and doing a thousand dollars’ work. Repair the steps, paint the house, remove fire hazards, renovate the garden, renew rotting foundations with concrete—do any of these things, and you'll be a factor in the work of recovery. It is not prophecy, to say that in your lifetime you'll never ave the opportunity to get work done as cheaply as now. It’s fact. The price structure is abnormally low. It is lower than even the intense- ness of depression justifies. As demand increases, the rate of climb will be sharply accelerated. | Remember, that providing jobs is cheaper than charity—and that it’s bet- ter to provide a job now than to have to contribute to charity next year. Remem- ber, too, that unless the jobs are provided it won’t be long until nothing is left for charity! PATRIOTISM IN GERMANY In commenting on the rise of Chan- cellor Hitler in Germany, we have pointed out that the success of the German lead- er was not due so much to his personality or ideas, as to the birth of a spirit of pa- triotism in the average German _ heart, which sees in a union of the German peo- ple under the leadership of the Chancel- lor, a promise of a return of German pros- perity and national happiness. National solidarity is essential to the revival of the fortunes of any nation im- poverished by the tremendous losses caus- ed by wars.. Only by.united effort.can any nation recover its position in the com- mercial life of the world. Italy under Mussolini has been a shin- ing example. The French people manag- ed*to compass their recovery under united national effort that was unique in the fact that it was accomplished without leader- ship, but because of a national cohesion which had been created by the suffering of the nation during the world war. Our own country is today engaged in the same effort under the leadership of President Roosevelt. Germany is thinking today in terms of German unity and German patriotism. She accepts Hitler‘as the leader and grants him the power of control of her destinies because he offers to the German people what the Germans want. If Herr Hitler at any time should make the mistake of placing his personal or partisian interests above the German national interest, the Hitler regime will suddenly come to an end. A TALE OF THE SEA Sailors’ yarns are generally amusing and interesting, even if many of them are not gospel truth. We just ran across an old one from the log of Henry Hudson’s ship when that famed explorer was trying to find the long-sought “northwest pass- age to China” in 1608. For vivid imagi- nation, it is hard to beat. It tells of sighting a ‘‘mermaid”, in the following record, dated June 15, in latitude 75 degrees 7 minutes north: “One of our company looking over- board saw a mermaid and, calling up some of the company to see her, one more came up and by that time she was close to the ship’s side, looking earnestly on the men. A little after a sea came up and overturned her; from the waiste upwards her back and breasts were lyke a woman's, her body being as big as one of us; her skin very whyte, and her hair hanging down being of colour blacke; in her going downe, they saw her tayle, which was lyke the tayle those charged with misfeasance of office, | of a porposse and speckled lyke a marcrell. and at the expense of the taxpayers. The} Their names that saw her were Thomas investigation of Judge Ritter’s acts will have the same result as the investigation of Judge Louderbeck by congress and that of Solicitor Pine by the legislature. Not.proven is too easily proved. Hitler and Robert Rayner.” Like many other myths and supersti- titions this yarn was for a lonf# time be- Heved by housands. Stories equally foolish are believed to this day. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN POSCODOS eee deceseceeeooseoETesETANSOEZOSELCCCOODS Daily Cross-word Puzzle seececes L incnuaten Hoistin : 13.
