Great expectations often lead to great same renimments. Power is not shown a hitting hard and often, but by hitting straight. - A man’s best friends are not always who praise him most. A fawner is , not a real-friend. | Intimidation is never a deterrent with _ honest men. They proceed in their lines of endeavor as duty and honor suggest. _ Even the weather man made it hot for J. P. Morgan in Washington. Pictures show him with his coat off at the inves- tigation. - Thomas J. Hamilton, editor, Augusta, (Ga.) Chronicle, who has been urged to make the race for Congress, issued a state- ment expressing his regrets that he could “not become a candidate. “It is difficult for me to be convinced,” he said, “that ‘there canbe greater opportunities for ser- vice in any capacity than as a newspaper editor.” “Ten Years Ago in Key West,” one of the most popular features The Citizen has ever inaugurated, is conspicuous by its absence today, because this particular is- sue is not in our files. Had the former publishers preserved their files, the his- torical news items would have a wider scope and be still more interesting. Four Florida cities are entitled to a place on the honor roll for an infant mor- tality rate lower than the national aver- age during last year, a survey shows. They are.Miami, Key. West, St. Augustine and St. Petersburg. Daytona Beach, al- though still above the average, showed re- markable improvement with 65 infant deaths for each 1,000 births, as compared with an average of 97.8 the previous year, the News-Journal of that city notes —Mi- ami News. Some legislators evidently believe ex- planations to folks back home are in or- der. Speaker Pete Tomasello, and Rep- resentatives Butler, Kanner, McWilliams and Boyd recently staged a speaking bee at Okeechobee City. Tomasello and Kan- ner carried more explanations into Stuart on a subsequent platform engagement. Pete’s difficult task will be to explain away his single-handed defeat of the debt fund- ing bill. He would like to be governor of Florida some day soon.--Miami News, Just as all his fellow editors were writing their congratulations to Herbert Felkel upon his nomination for the office of internal revenue collector of this dis- trict, the St. Augustine Record’s chief de- clines the job. Congratulations should be redoubled. Think of a newspaper man being able to refuse a good salary and a chance to let Uncle Sam do the worrying about meeting the payroll !—Miami News. The writer had already in type a nice lit- tle puff designed to warrant indulgence while calculating his income tax, when the bad news came. | SCIENCE AIDS INDUSTRY’ In our admiration for the wonderful mechahical developments of recent years, we sometimes overlook the part which science, and particularly chemistry, has played in supplying the new materials which have made a solution of these me- chanical problems possible. ~ Some of the industrial accomplishment which chemistry has aided during the last decade are pointed out in an article written by Dr. Harrison E. Lowe, a noted chemist and editor. By improved chemical preparation of paper pulp to give it greater strength, a sheet of newsprint paper nearly 300 inches wide can be produced at the speed of 1,000 feet a minute. A new glass developed in the Jabora- tory can be machine-blown into incandes- cent lamp bulbs with amazing rapidity, one machine now in operation having a capacity of about 400,000 bulbs in 24 hours. A number of machines make around 25,000 each per day. Through better methods of compound- ing and curing rubber, the life of an auto- mobile tire is 10 times as long as it was a few years ago, while new sources of rub- ber or its equivalent are being developed. The rapidly growing rayon industry, the innumerable useful products derived from coal tar, new metal alloys, new fuels, new foods and a multitude of other pro- ducts unknown some years ago all had their birth in the laboratory. As Dr. Howe says in concluding his article: “The growing appreciation for re- search and the increased support for fun- damental scientific work in America gives great promise of future discoveries that will be vital in prolonging life, in prevent- ing famine, in minimizing disease, and in maintaining civilization at a satisfactory level.” THE HIGH FLYERS Practical air navigation at altitudes of eight miles or more is predicted for the not very distant future by conservative air- craft engineers, and actual plans for such development are being seriously consider- ed, according to Popular Science. At least two aviators have already at- tained an altitude of approximately eight miles, at which the tergperature is between 60 and 70 degrees below zero. By means of balloons it has been determined that be- yond this altitude it does not get any cold- er, so the problem of temperature might be readily solved. Owing to the rarity of the atmosphere at such heights, an artificial supply of oxy- gen is necessary, and such has been carried by the pioneers in exploring the upper,air. This rare atmosphere also presents an- other problem, in that resistance to the air- plane propellers is reduced making more powerful motors necessary in order to keep the craft aloft. This does not appear to be an insuperable difficulty. A young German engineer proposes to build a plane to navigate these upper reaches of the air at a speed of more than 650 miles an hour. Recently the famous plane designer, Sikorski, predicted “a new type of airplane with highly supercharged motors and an ‘inclosed cabin with air kept under approximately sormal pressure to permit flying at. high altitudes with speeds of say 400 to 500 or more miles an hour.” Incredible as it seems now, no one can say with certainty that it can not be done. “PRO” vs. AMATEUR Much ado has been made of late re- specting the status of various figures in the world of sport—whether they should be classified as professionals or amateurs. A notable case was that of William Tilden, the tennis star, who was barred from ama- teur cireles because he wrote articles about | the game in which he is an expert. Somehow we have been unable to draw the lines so fine. Still, maybe we don’t understand the matter. Certainly |" we don’t understand why even an ama teur may not write about his game. If he is not permitted to write about it, why not forbid him to talk about it? And now another scandal has come to light. A Chicago high school checker player has been caught red-handed play- ing in a tournament for money. Five dol lars was the prize, and that makes him a! professional! What is sport coming to, anyway? They call it “legal tender,” but folks have a tough time getting hold of any. lof j caring more for the accumulation THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Soecccccecccovouscce Daily Cross-word Puzzle ©0000000000000006000008008000 000000008 0OKIC0ORCRE Solution of YeSterday’s Puzzie ACROSS 1.

Miss Swanson, who had plan- ned an operatic career long be- fore she ever dreamed of entering motion pictures, made her singing debut upon the screen in “The Trespasser,” which was written and directed by Edmund Goulding in 1929. It had been known privately that the star had a singing voice, but fans generally were agreeably surprised’ when she broke into song for the first time. There were two songs in “The Trespasser,” in the writing of one of which Author-Director Gould- ing collaborated. In “Indisereet,” the next Swan- son feature, there was more sing-! ing, the hit song of this picture being “Come to Me.” But in the next United Artists picture, “Tonight or Never,” there} was something of an anomaly. For in this story Miss Swanson was cast as an opera singer and} yet she didn’t sing. “Now, in “Perfect Understand- ing,” Miss Swanson’s voice will be heard againj*this time in a song which she sincerely believes is the, best she hastdone. It was written by Henry Sullivan, youngAmer-} jean composer who has been de-} voting most of his efforts to the sereen recently. In “Perfect Understaniing” Miss Swanson is supported by one of the strongest’ casts she fas ever had.
