June 15 has passed and so have most of the debtor nations. © Money isn’t everything in this world, and if it keeps on deflating it soon won’t be anything. Our confidential statistician reports that 3.2 percent of them were reminded that there is a Father’s Day, ‘Whatever may happen to the House _ of Morgan, it can hardly be said that Pros- ecttor Pecora hasn’t been earning his $225 a month, Talk is cheap and the nations owing millions in war debts to the United States affirm that fact in their many parlays wit Uncle Sam. : O.

Well, that wedding march has gotten a lot o: Gentiles into trouble. ‘ Lots of folks like an argument. A fel- low in Nashville is trying to start one over whether Grant’s shoes were muddy or pol- ished at the scene of Lee’s surrender. “That is the happiest conversation,” observes Dr. Johnson, “where there is no competition, no contradiction, no vanity, but a calm, quiet ment.” interchange of senti- If President Roosevelt keeps on ap- pointing newspaper men for ‘public of- fices, their shortage will soon be notice- able. And then, who’s going to run the country? The recent session of ‘the Florida legislature set the taxpayers back $161,- 000 smackers, In one sense it proved to be an economy legislative body, because this amount is less than half what the pre- vious session cost, Luncheon served at one of the unem- ployed relief camps consisted of lamb, beets, peas, potatoes, strawberry short cake and tea or coffee. Not over- many Key Westers dine on such sump- tuous fare. After all, it is nice to have SO generous a relative as Uncle Sam. roast If the set-up of the public works pro- gram calls for an administrator and an ad- visory board in each state to pass on enter- prises and projects within the scope of the act, as has been reported, the whole struc- ture will be thrown into politics with the usual consequences and possible national scandals. June the month of marriages? “Ba- loney,” or words to that effect, says Judge Gunn of Key West. With June half gone, he had not found a single customer for 2 marriage license. Then, on the 15th, John Houston Brady came in smiling with the first and only June bride of the city this year. She is—or should we say was? —Edna Pearl Bearup—Miami News. “DISMAL WASTE” One of the biggest loads carried by this tax-burdened country is the cost of public education in the many municipali- ties. Efforts to economize in this item are too frequently met by schoolmen with the intimidating argument that-an effort is being made to cripple the future of the children. It is refreshing, therefore, to note that the educators of the country’s largest mu- nicipality, New York City, announce that they have made a survey which reveals that sixteen percent of that city’s high school budget is being wasted. They sug- gest a series of reforms which will save the city ten millions of dollars, A few years ago, before the depres- sion, a governor of one of the Southern states, who had served as state superinten- dent of school and as president of a state college, declared that twenty percent of of the public monies of that state consti- tuted a “dismal waste’. The remark was seized upon by schoolmen, and the gover- nor was excoriated from one end of the state to the other. The cause of education was a fetish. The time has come when all over the country the schools must share the effects of a popular demand for easing the tax burden. Economies will come, and will be enforced blindly and harmfully, or sanely, depending upon whether or not educators themselves co-operate intelli- gently with laymen to eliminate the non- essentials. The teachers of New York are setting a laudable example. WHEN THE SUN COOLS For many years astronomers have speculated regarding the possibility that some day the sun will have exhausted its heat and become cold. Dr. E. E. Trevine, president of the Mexican Astronomical Society, is one who holds this view, and points out that thou- sands of now extinct suns are known to have existed in the dim past. In ° lec- tures at the University of Edinburgh, Prof. A. §. Eddington also expressed the belief that the universe is slowly running down, although he admits the possibility that the heat thrown off by the sun and other stars may be #atlidred again in some manner to form new suns. In any event, Old Sol appears to be good for a billion years or more, so his ul timate end has little practical interest for us. But it is fascinating to contemplate what may be the final fate of mankind when, if ever, our solar system begins to undergo a marked change, such as these astronomers predict. “LOST” STATES After Massachusetts in November 1930 had voted to repeal her “baby Vol- stead Act,” that state’s militant dry leader, Mrs, Henry W. Peabody, left the state in a huff to make her new home in Orlando, Florida. She declared she would not re- turn till “Massachusetts has found her- self.” The fact that Massachusetts last week became the eleventh state to ratify the prohibition repeal amendment proves that the Bay State is‘making’a poor job of “finding itself’ from the viewpoint of Mrs. Peabody and her ilk. The wet victory was 4 to 1 notwith- standing the fact Mrs. Peabody has been back in Massachusetts the past six months battling for the “drys.” The influence of her sojourn in Flor- ida may be judged from the fact the state was recently “lost” by legalizing 3.2 beer! THEY CAN’T SPELL It is reported that among 298 young men and women who took a civil service examination in New York recently all but three failed in spelling. This is not surprising to those who have occasion to observe the spelling of the average high school graduate, or even that of some college men and women. Why our schools do not give more at- tention to spelling is an unsolved mystery. Hundreds of hours are devoted to subjects which a pupil never thinks of after leav- ing school, yet the art of spelling, which must be practiced every day of his life, is given scanty consideration. Perhaps it is thought that everyone should be permitted to develop originality. if so, the plan works well. Few show greater originality in any respect than in spelling.

FARRINGTON IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen That the cigar business has taken a slight slump is admitted by factory operators in Key West. This however, is no more than is annually expected at this season of the year. Nevertheless the trade is in much better condition than it: was at this time last year and the outlook for the imme- diate future is bright. The proposition for the develop-: ment of the oil project made property owners on Simenton street will not be accepted, it is said. Several owners were in- clined to consider the proposals made but the majority were of the opinion that better proposi- tions will be made in the near future and for these they will hold out.
