We hold this to be a fundamental principle of democratic government.” Have you sevorrhea or just plain dan- _ druff? To err is human. Also the alibi which is hatched up to explain the error. It is appropriate that Reno is situated near what is known as the Great Divide. There may be some “big shots” who cannot pay any income tax but we think Otto H. Kahn—and should. Pathfinder declares times are getting better, citing the fact that a Yale graduate has finally got a $1 a day job. A critic describes a new jazz motif as sounding somewhat like thé collision of a truck load of empty milk cans with a car- load of wild ducks. Air may now be squeezed into a sub- stance as hard as water. It may safely be presumed that senators at last have a safe way to add “weight to their words.” Henry Ford says woman’s place is in the home. But her refusal to stay there has appreciably increased the demand for Henry's product. | OUR MERCHANT MARINE (Tampa Tribune) How would you like to pay insurance on a house that has burned down, or on a policy that is worthless? Worse still, how would you like to pay | 120 millions or more in interest every year on a bill of goods which you can no longer use because your requirements have ren- dered the merchandise obsolete? Sentiments closely akin to the above rise upon reading an astounding little book, issued by the Middle West Foreign Trade Committee through its chairman, Malcolm ; M. Stewart, of Cincinnati. The little volume of 53 small pages entiled “Our Navy’s greatest need,” hits one with something of a shock by disclosing that far from having learned the lesson of the last World War, America is actually following an opposite course by neglecting its merchant marine, the only fighting auxiliary in time of national danger. Shockingly blunt in its revelations of the real cost of a part of the war that the general public had little chance to study during the conflict, the book states that we are again neglecting our auxiliary defense —the American merchant marine—and again inviting the senseless waste of wealth in the scramble to build “ships, ships, and more ships,” “bridges of ships” when the emergency arrives. Mr. Stewart minces no words, for he is a fealist if nothing else, and jolts the com- placent reader of the little book with his cold statistics—facts that are keeping many an American taxpayer up late at night these days in hope of finding a way to make a red ink look blue on the ledgers. As a result of our policy on marine un- preparedness, the statement shows, the World War cost the United States govern- ment for the use of merchant vessels reach- ed an aggregate of more than a billion and a half dollars. After the war the ves- sels were found unsuited to commerce and a whole new fleet had to replace them. With danger again threatening the peace of nations, Mr. Stewart shows that we are foolishly depending upon the “good will” of the world, again neglecting our mer- chant fleet. In addition to the one and one-half billion dollars cited, there was a further expenditure of $2,134,000,000 by the ship- ping board for the construction of vessels authorized for war purposes but not used in the war! The total cost to the United States for merchant shipping, as a result of the late conflict, therefore, was more than $3,650,000,000. Of high speed vessels to furnish navy fighters with supplies, or that, because of their speed can themselves be converted into fighting ships, Great Britain has five times as many asthe United States, the statement asserts.

Bullfighting, the national sport in Spain, has declined 30 pér‘cent}.and the sport is now distinctly on the wane with: 400 less bulls killed in 1932 than in 1930. In the United States “throwing the bull” has not decreased to any extent. Not a few Dade ‘ines teachers will have to cross their fingers’when delivering the legally required lecture to their pupils on the detrimental effects of aleohol on the system. Proceeds from the sale of 38.2 help pay teachers’ salaries —Miami News. Indeed, Key West received a neat sum from this source this week. Recipients will have no prejudice against this “tainted” lucre. The mob is always the same—thank- less, ungrateful and forgetful. Coriola- nus, who once saved Rome in war, was cast out in time of peace and plenty, and so on down the vista of years. Recently an at- tempt was made to assassinate V enizelos. Mussolini, who saved his country from com- munism and anarchy, has been the target of the assassin several times, and is not yet out of the woods, Convicts mutinied at the Tooke Lake state prison camp because they got neither pie nor cake on the Fourth of July. Here in Key West as elsewhere there were many law abiding citizens who were deprived of these delicacies, yet lawbreakers to whom the Fourth of July should be a symbol of nothing, want to coercg the government into pampering them. Cat-o-nine tails should be made fashionable again. = five are more than 20 years old! It is found further that the United States’ merchant marine is outclassed not only by Great Britain, but by Norway, Germany and Holland; that the British colonies stand equal with us in the volume of such tonnage, and that France, Italy and Japfp Are not far behind us. Great Brit- ain’s total of merchant vessels less than 10 years old is more than eight millions gross tons, as against our slightly more than one million tons. Hand in hand with the navy’s need for merchant ships for use as auxiliaries, it is stated, goes its need for the maintenance of privately operated American shipyards for the construction of the necessary ves- sels, It is not generally realized; says the statement, what a factor of relief the shipyards are in the unemployment sik- uation. Not only does the money spent for vessels go to the labor employed in their construction but materials and equipment required, give work to industries in prac- tically every state in the Union.
