SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Dr. E. H. Cary, president of the American Medical Ajsociation, recently madé-a strong bid for popularity among the nation’s youngsters. He declared that forcing children to eat spinach for the beneficial vitamins and iron it is supposed to contain is all the bunk. So far as the iron. ig concerned, he said it would be just 28 well to let a kid suck a 20-penny nail as to feed him spinach, adding that “he might like the flavor of the nail better.” ‘Phe Journal of Fort Payne, Ala., re- marks that the gossip is a coward, a liar and a thief. A coward because he talks behind his victim's back; a liar because most f his talk is false, and a thief be- cause he steals from another his good name, All of which is true, (but, for- tunately, sensible people do not take the gossip’s mouthings too seriously. The cut in veterans’ pensions and other compensation has caused repercus- siof$*tt unexpected quarters. In the Irish Free State, for example, 1,300 veteraas who-fought under the American flag, or their-dependents, are affected by the new deal and they have “got their Irish up” about it. —_ ~ When Frank Powell’s plane hurtled to earth out of control from a height of 8,000 feet near Eldorado, Kan., it looked mighty bad for Frank at the moment, but it could have been worse. He disentangled himself from the wreckage and walked away with only a broken rib and a minor cut on the leg. an «An embyro Babe Ruth sent two men to the hospital a few days ago when he smashed out a home run in a sand lot base- ballgame in New York. The batted ball struck a horse drawing a peddler’s wagon; the horse ran away, throwing the driver out on-his head and injuring a policeman who attempted to stop him. < Newspaper people, we regret to say, sometimes take an unfair advantage of folks they don’t like. For example, the Cincinnati society editor who included this in her writeup of a swell reception: “Mrs. Jones appeared encased in the green chif- fon which has graced so many previous occasions,” "Gomes now a new kind of hoarder. Fraenke-Cimino, a big garlic grower .of Cali- fornia,,won a verdict for $35,515 damages against a Chicago storage company which let a lot of his product spoil while in its care. The defense lawyer called Cimino a “garlic hoarder,” Boston Transcript tells of the system whereby favored persons in Russia are givel permits to buy railroad and theater tickets without having to stand in line awaiting their turn. But after obtaining the coveted permit the customer must take his place in another line composed of those who do not have to stand in line. THE LONDON CONFERENCE “If the world is sick enough to have gained any sense, the (Economic) Con- Te ference will be a success.” So spake James Middleton Cox, one of the American delegation, recently. His attitude jibes with that of most observers. They believe that the world is sick enough; they know likewise that a sick world is not necessarily a sensible one. When George V, Imperator and Rex, formally opened the Conference, none felt that it would be an unqualified suecess, many were unable to believe that it would produce much of definite and permanent worth. There are too many warring interests at play; as in| a drama, plots and counterplots will un- derlie the seemingly smooth tenor of the proceedings. It is a safe forecast that during its first weeks, the delegates will be sparring for position, testing their ground. There will be a great many polite speeches, pretty gestures, abstruse discussions. The real work will come later. There will be a continuous, thinly-veiled battle between various sectional interests, opposed philos- ophies. As the Conference opens, the world it faces might be described, briefly, in this manner: A Europe which is closer to war than at any time since 1913—with armed troops patrolingé unfriendly borders and looking jealously at alien lands. An _ increasing spirit of nationalism in many major powers, of which Germany under. Hitler is the classic example. In the Far East, a grow- ing spirit of Imperialism on the part of the Japanese, which must inevitably cause the Chinese to develop a still greater enmity for all foreigners. Widespread unemploy- ment and industrial debility in every coun- try. Chaotic monetary systems and totter- ing currency standards. And, in most powers, fear and distrust of the rest of the world. These matters are not discussed in the Conference’s agenda. But they will have much to do with the policies of the dele- gates, and they will influence the pro- ceedings at every turn. What the agenda does specifically mention for — discussion follows: Monetary and credit policy; prices; resumption of movement of capi- tal; restrictions on ‘international. trade; tariff and treaty policy; organization of production and trade. These are high-sounding labels and the subjects they cover are Greek to ninety per cent of the world’s people. But the economist can translate them into terms of jobs, wage scales, living standards. If the Conferenee collapses, it will be because the politicians, dominated by racial pre- judice and nationalistic passion, do the dictating. If it succeeds, it will be because the world has at last become so sick that it is willing to go the limit for a cure. On the eve of the Conference, the De- partment of Commerce announced that world trade slumped to $26,000,000,000 last year, as compared with $68,000,000,- 000 in 1929. Not all of this is the result of depression. Much of it is the result of such slogans as “Buy British”—“Buy American” even “Buy in Homeville.” It is the announced purpose of the Confer- ence to demonstrate the folly that such slogans represent, and do away with them. CHOOSING A TRADE Selecting a trade or occupation today is a rather more serious matter than in years gone by, owing to the rapid changes in methods of manufacture and ‘in the products demanded by the public. In hardly any line of manufacture does one know how soon some new method of process may render all his present skill useless as a means of gaining a livelihood. Highly skilled hand craftsmen in many lines are continually being replaced by ma- ehinery, while products which were for- merly in great demand are rapidly becom- ing obsolete, such as the buggy and other horse-drawn vehicles. Speaking from the manufacturer's standpoint, E. W, McCullough of the Unit- ed States Chamber of Commerce recently said, “I could enumerate a hundréd lines of business this evolution has wiped out, and lines without number have changed in materials, construction and form.” These changes have affected the indi- vidual workmen, as well as their employ- ers, and never were changes made so rap- idly as at present. Those who enter the mechanical trades today must be prepar- ed to adapt themselves to new conditions as they arise.

FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1933. _———— TODAY'S WEATHER oshneentntinineeiinninnienenbadestceenieesiaiane Temperature* Highest ;; Lowest Along about this time last year Jim Lee, in his campaign for comptroller, was hoppin’ hither and yon havin’ a let to say rela- tive to this, or in relation to that, and one of the things he harped on was “nepotism.” Mean Normal Mean .- Rainfall” Yeésterday’s Precipitation .07 Ins. day; moderate fresh at* times. Florida: Probably showers to- night and Saturday. Jacksonville to Florida Straits: Fresh south winds; weather partly overcast probably with showers tonight and Saturday. East Gulf: Fresh south winds over east portion and moderate to fresh north and northwest winds southerly winds, .| over west portion: Most of us didn't know what he | Moon _ rises was talkin’ about at first. Some thought it was a new religion, and others figured maybe it was a breakfast food. But after listen- in’ to Jim just about everybody agreed that no matter what it was, it was lousy and we didn’t like it. took that two-dollar word and got it ehanged into nickels and dimes it didn’t amount to anything more or less than sendin’ your relations to the state house instead of the poor house: In other words the answer to “Am I my brother’s keeper?” was “Not if I can get the big bum on the state payroll.” . Probably if the boys had contented themselves with just takin’ care of one or two of the wife’s folks, nobody ey have thought much about it, But when they started makin’ a family picnic and teunion out of it, with everybody ridin’ the gravy train from Unele Ezra to Cousin Sarah’s little boy Percy, a lot of good men who'd. been the streets for months ’ for work got so they just didn’t like it. * So “nepotism” took its’ place in our political vocabulary and got to be almost as popular as “econo- my.” The boys then in office who were unfortunate enough to have taken care of a few kin folks were in a tough spot. A lot of folks thought Jim Lee would forget all about nepotism when he got to Tallahassee, but he fooled ’em. The day he stepped into offiee everybody under hie jurisdiction that came under the evil classification got the well known sack. It’s been a bad day for rela- tives ever since, And now the legislature has decided that no near relative of a county official ean hold a county job. To just what extent the law will be enforced and what the effect will be remains ‘o be seen. It will probably result in a number of capable and efficient employes | | losing their jobs. On the other hand it will serve to weed out j numerous inefficient job holders se give employment to those more deserving. Next time Uncle John runs for tax collector he probably won't have as many cous- ins and nephews carryin’ folks to the polls or passin’ out cards for him, And now up in Washington President Roosevelt has taken off his coat and is fixin’ to see if he really can’t de somethin’ about this unemployment problem. He has declared war on want and misery and is marshalling his forees for a mighty struggle. In | the meantime a Nation waits and watches and hopes. Other presidents have declared war, but their declarations were accompanied by the blare of bugles, the roll of drums, and the rythmetical tramp of marching feet, all of whieh tend to erystalize public thought and action and unify support. Roosevelt's task is much more The drive on the Hun was spectacular. The drive on hanger is grim. Onur army must smash the line with axes, saws, hammer and drill. We plant trees instead of mines. The thrill and glamour of military operations is not there to arouse our fighting spirit, yet the enemy is more pow- erful and sinister than the armed forees of a dozen nations. “TODAY iN HISTORY wdecceccconscsacnqscoses 1683—(260 years ago) William Penn signed histeric treaty of peace and friendship with In- dians. 1757-——Clive’s victory at Plas sey, India—which laid the founda- of British Empire in In- dia. 1848—Bloody insurrection in Paris—-10,000 killed.
