DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen _ Those who have predicted during the three or four years that Babe Ruth about done, finished and washed up were given another jolt recently when the Bambino whacked out three home runs in Science and invention have con- tributed much to the joy and comfort of mankind, but they also may conjure up néw terrors, one of which is reported from Honolulu. A fellow out there has invented a ukelele which can be heard for half a mile. = An automobile radiator may be used as a churn, but removing the finished pro- ducts presents difficulties, according to a New Jersey motorist. When no water was handy he filled his steaming radiator with milk and later had to pay a _ mechanic $8.25 for removing the resulting butter. *. Four hoodlums, firing from an auto- oar seriously wounded. two men on a icago street a few days ago. The news itch ends with the rather superfluous Sénitence: “The gunmen fled hefore police atrived.” =: Mlustrating how it is possible to form widespread organization in the United States on the slightest pretext, a writer as- serts that there are now 18,000 members ef the Society for the Prevention of Calling Pullman Porters “George.” «- The Atchison Globe declares its town has a citizen who punctiliously observes all the niceties of etiquette in telephonic or other communication. Even when saying His prayers he begins with: “This is Wil- Yams speaking.” - Without doubt this is an age of spe- cialization. One Landon photographer ad- Vertises as his specialty the making of pic- tures of widows weeping beside their dead husbands’ graves. A tragedy was averted by radio iv the home of a prominent North Carolina woman recently. The receiving set was turned on, but tuned to the wave-length of dsilent station when a negro entered and attacked the woman. While she was strag- gling with the brute the station came on the air and the booming voice of an an- mouncer hundreds of miles away frightened the assailant off. _ ELEMENTS OF DECAY Morals are customs. Such is the original meaning of the word. What is customary or stylish is large- ly a matter of example set by accepted leadership. Thus morals do not necessarily at their lowest ebb serve as an index to the character of the whole people. The last group to accept a moral standard may not actually approve it but find the practice necessary upon the flim- sy excuse “Everybody’s doing it.” Those who practice a moral precept without actually believing in it are them- selves conscious of a beginning of that lack of confidence destined finally to break down the moral. Ht was the immorality of prohibition for instance, which spelt its doom from the beginning. The American people were accustom- ed to have their little drink on oceasion. Such custom, or moral, was destined not to be abandoned easily. Yet to follow the custom necessitated the practice of that which was even more immoral and more repulsive to the Amer- jean people, deceit and disobedience; to law. Procuring a drink on the sly senied a good moral into’ a bad one in the view of many a man. People quickly lost confidence i une integrity of public leaders who practiced one thing and preached another for their fellows. The fourteen years of prohibition con- stitute the Babylonian captivity of Ameri- can morals, The passing of prohibition is naturally accompanied by better morals, ‘restored confidence, and a new era of prosperity. YES, PRICES ARE GOING UP For two successive months, according to a graph in the New York Times, the index of commodity prices has been mov- ing upward without interruption. _. The nation-wide policy of the mo- ment is to raise prices to a more normal level and, by one means or another, keep them there. Here are-two facts that should in- terest every property-owner, and every po- tential builder. They mean that present low prices are doomed; that we’re going to pay more for what we buy—whether it’s food and clothing, or a new house. The wise citizen who possibly. can, will spend now, when it will get him the largest dollar’s worth he has ever known. And. he will spend largely on property-im- provement, here it will give him something of real and permanent value. There is hardly one of us who hasn’t let his prop- erty slide a little the past few years. We have put off painting, repairirg, overhaul- ing the heating plant, repairing or replac- ing the roof, walks, fences, ete. But we have now reached the point where if'we put it off any longer, it will mean dollars aut of pocket. And when we build and repair, we are doing our bit toward stimulating employ- ment. Our dollars will pass through the hands of workers in a hundred industries. We are inereasing purchasing power, and laying the groundwork for future prosper- ity for ourselves as well. Don’t forget that investment and employment are cheaper than charity. GIZZARD INSPECTION In a certain district of Colombia South America, every chicken killed must he presented to government authorities for inspection, This is not a healty measure, such as governs the sanitary slaughter of food an- imals in this country, but is a requirement to prevent the chicken owner from com- ing into unlawful possession of any stray emeralds which may happen to be found in the bird’s gizzard. For in that section is located the only } emerald producing territory in the south-/| } will be started. ern continent, and fowls often pick up the precious stenes in preference to ordinary | gravel. An American mining company is con- ducting emerald mining operations in Co- lombia, using the primitive methods em- ployed by the early Spaniards, because the region is se inaccessible as to make the transportation of modern equipment teo costly. a However, recovery of emeralds by the chicken method is only a minor phase of the enterprise.
