Consolidation of County, and City Governments, SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL. Former Editor of The Key West Citizen _ It is said that Irvin 8. Cobb considers his 6-Vear-old granddaughter his most cap- able critic; and he tries out his radio hu- mor on her before springing it.on an un- suspecting public. While it may be true that “out of the mouths of babes and suck- lings thou hast perfect praise,” a 6-year-old could hardly be expected to know how ancient some modern humor is. Among the strange workings of the new prohibition deal is the reported fact that Mrs. Katherine Linthicum of An- napolis, Md., signs all that city’s beer li- censes, although she is an ardent dry and local leader in that cause. The explana- tion is that signing the licenses is an of- ficial duty, she being the city clerk. Archbishop Ofiesh of the Syrian Or- thedox Catholic Church in America de- clares that Ged commanded him to marry, although rules of his church forbid. Quite naturally feeling the command from on high to be superior to man-made rules, the Archbishop, who is 53, married a young woman, despite protests from the clergy and members of the church. His fellow religionists now threaten to oust him from his office. A Vancouver editor apologized for a typographical error which made him de- seribe a citizen as “a defective on the po- lice force,” saying it should have been un- derstood that he really meant “a detective on the police farce.” Reminding us of the “battle-scarred” veteran who was first de- | seribed as “bottle-searred” and in the cor- rection as “battle-scared.” (Careful Mr. Linotyper,. please.) Edwin Markham, author of “The May With the Hoe,” declared on his 81st birth- day recently that “poetry consists of one | @ two exceedingly good lines and many } other lines not so good.” And it would take a person with a vivid imagination to find even one or two geod lines in a lot of A STEP IN A LONG JOURNEY Visitors to the Chicago World’s Fair will see unique electrical effects wrich will form a milepost marking 40 years of progress in the science of artificial iflumi- nation with incandescent lamps. At the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair were seen incandescent lamps in their first application to decorative lighting on large scale. The lighting of that time would seem humorously crude now, but then it was a miracle. It marked the be- ginning of a new age in the home. It sounded the deathnell of an age-old type of lighting. © It was the pioneer effort that made possible. modern electric develop- ments—not only in lighting, but in labor- saving power appliances, Those first lamps weren’t viewed with any particular enthusiasm. They were comparatively expensive to buy and to op- erate. They were uncertain. Burn-outs were the rule, rather than the exception. They required kid-glove handling if they were to work at all. A good many years passed before the public in general _ was convinced that they were more than a fad. But that conviction finally came, and the perfection of the electric lamp came along with it. To the homes of fifty years from now our present standards of lighting wilPséem as crude.as those. of fifty years ago do to us. The spectacle of lighting at the World’s Fair, fine as it will be, will not mark the apex of development—it will simply be one more step in the long march of domestic civilization. WHERE ARE WE AT? The events of the past 12 weeks at Washington have moved so rapidly that the American people find. themselves somewhat puzzled as to just what has hap- pened. hey know that President Reose- velt has “gone places and done things”, but are a bit confused as to just what has been done.. In the dizzy legislative whirl the average citizen has been swept off his feet, much as the members of Congress must have been swept off their feet. The spectacle of an American Congress getting down to work and actual accomplishment without tedious speeches, long committee sessions and outside interference from moulders of legislative opinion, is not only @ most refreshing one, but a spectacle that is absolutely new. The various professional _ lobbyists, the organizations with a mission at a price, the long-haired reformers, the meddlesome maidens and the other hangers-on of pre- vious legislative sessions, have not been in evidence this year. As a result, Congress has acted promptly and efficiently on the problems before it. When the special session adjourns, the senators and representatives will be very much surprised when they arrive home to find how popular’ they have be- come. USING NEWSPAPERS How to reach a large number of cus- tomers or prospective customers most eco- homically and effectively is. a. problem which still worries a great many business men, Butit wassolved long ago, and the answer-is this: Print your message in the newspapers, Recently a Detroit electric company which serves 500,000 customers in nearly 200 cities and smaller communities want- ed to send them a series of letters. After considering various methods of distributing these messages, it was decided to use local newspapers exclusively. The first letter sent out, signed by the president of the company, began as follows: “We have a let of things to tell you which are of interest because you are our customers. We might get your attention by circulars delivered at your door, or by radio broadcast. But we think the best way to reach you is by successive letters in the newspapers of which this is the first.” In certain special cases the use of cir- culars or the radio may be fairly effective, a THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SOSCCcoeESoseCeeeoseseese Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS 1, Baseball implement .

They’re just ordinary human beings for the most part j}and when we go and dump a lot “ef temptation in their lap, it’s ne «| wonder they get careless. Suppose you hired a guy in <fyour business to do some collect- i}in’ for you and instead of payin’ him a salary you just handed him a flock of bills and told him to go ahead and collect 'em and keep ten per cent for his share, Se he goes out and collects a hundred smackers, pockets the ten ‘| bucks belongin’ to him and says: :} what shall I do with this ninety +/'dollars?”” You got plenty of <|money and don’t give a darn so ‘lyou say: “Aw, just keep it for .}me and if I need it PH let you .| know.” ‘| So your new collector goes on colleetin’ and keepin’ the money, -|your money as well as his own. | Nobody asks him how much he’s ‘}got or what he’s done with it. Pretty soon he’s got his pockets '.{so jammed up with jack that he ‘}just naturally loses track of whieh is his and which is yours, He naturally gets te feelin’ more or less presperous, so he buys a house and a car and a lot of other things and don’t worry aj whole lot about whose money pays for it. He figures there’s plenty more where that came from and even if h does get some of yours mixed up with his it won’t make any difference, beeause you don’t need it or want it-anyhow and no- body is cheekin’ on him so he buys a@ country. home and a couple ef racing. horses. Then times get tough. Old man depression comes along and takes you and a lot of other folks over the jumps. Then all off a s den you remember about the guy you sent coffeetin’ so you call him up on the carpet and say “gim- mae Chances are you haven’t shown any interest in him or his works for eight or ten years. You don’t even know whether he’s been keepin’ books or not, but now you pounce on him with both feet and if it develops that he’s spent some of your you are ail indig- nant and upset about it. Of course you wouldn’t do bus- imess like that yourself, nobody would. But that’s the way you allow your governmental agencies to funetion and then you wonder why things get in a mess.
