The government has not as yet asked the kidnaping industry for its code: 2 The popular expfession “Can you take it” applies to everything but money. Some of these people who ride on their reputations are going to have a break- down. The last United States census embrac- ed 50,637,966 females. Who wouldn’t be a census?

Alfred E, Smith of New York says there are some things about the recovery act he does not understand.

And a great na- tion looks on helplessly. If every state would make kidnaping punishable by death, it would cease immediately. Roosevelt Starts Bridge Work, News- paper headline. It was for starting con- struction on the San-Francisco-Oakland $75,000,000 bridge. The wish is father to the thought, but let us wish that soon, he will press a button that will start the build- ing of the contemplated bridges between Key West and the mainland. Changes in the plan for handling the affairs of the recovery act have been so frequent that it is difficult to keep up with them. The latest is the appointment of John B. Sutton, of Tampa, as head of the Florida committee under Secretary Ickes. He stated in Washington that he did not know yet what the post entails but he would stick around for a few days to get the lineup. THE CANAL URGE (Miami Herald) One of the best ways of keeping Flor- idians with an ingrained promotion urge happily employed is to make them propon- ents of one or another of the cross-state canal routes, a harmless occupation that | keeps them busy with maps and charts for years, safe from harm’s path. The latest canal to be given United States Army engineer notice is that from the St. Johns river, across Marion county and out into the Gulf of Mexico past Yank- eetown, the promotional townsite of “Pop” Knotts, hardy perennial candidate for comptroller on the Republican ticket. So far has this canal progressed in dreams that a canal commission is now to be nam- ed, and the county of Marion, otherwise normal, had a special act passed allowing it to issue $150,000 in time warrants to buy right of way for the canal. All this hinges, of course, upon the government allotting some $200,000,000 to the task of cutting the canal through the high part of Florida, installing locks to lift } the dream boats 40 feet in Marion county, } and otherwise gouging such a furrow across the fair face of Florida that the navies of the world would soon be streaming past Dunnellon and Palatka. This entirely overlooks the fact that at least two cross-state canals are already in existence, that is, they would be if there were any traffic to warrant them being dug out and maintained. Here and at the St. Lucie canal are the foundations for a sea THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SOOCOHOCC COCO EEOOOSOSEOTOETEOSEOLVESCCSEESCOSEOESE Daily Cross-word Puzzle incendiarism Bombastic taux - One s side of the pare Agreement Wager Wite of Jacob - North’ central state: abbr.

But no, the midstate canal enthusiasts say $200,000,000, not a dime less. They have not yet shown where any considerable volume of traffic could be in- duced to thread such a winding path, tak- ing up as much or more time as to go around Key West. That is one of the beautiful features of the cross-state canal idea. You just sit on the banks of one of the brooks now constituting cross-state canal links and close your eyes and all sorts of beautiful ships float past. We even had a man come in here once who could abso- lutely prove that such a canal would make $50,000,000 a year. But if promoting cross-state canals keeps the boys happy and out of mischief, more power to it. Just so it doesn’t by chance begin to cost us weeoads ROAD LIGHTING URGED Electric aloniiie of ollniay highways to increase their efficiency, reduce acci- dents and aid night flying is urged by Louis J. Brooks, prominent Missouri farm- er and first president of the state’s hard road association. The idea is said to have been favor- ably received by federal, state and county highway officials, many of whom feel that the lighting of roads is a logical step in the development of the nation’s highway sys- tem. Electrical engineers recommend pow- erful roadway lamps placed at intervals of 100 yards, which it is estimated, would add about five percent to the average cost of paved highways, Special legislation would be required to permit lighting to be included in expen- ditures for roads, it is said, but already three states, New York, New Jersey and Georgia, have laws authorizing such ex- penditures in the more populous counties. Detroit claims to have already 345 miles of lighted rural highway in its vicinity. It seems that road lighting would fit in admirably with the general program of rural electrification which is now going forward rapidly in many states. MAYOR'S FUTILE JOKE An amusing twist was given to a mu- nicipal campaign in Vancouver, B. C., re- eently, when the re-election of Mayor L. D. Taylor was opposed by all the newspapers in the city. Some time previous to the campaign, | Mr. Taylor had been apparently at the | point of death, so newspapers had prepar- | ed highly commendatory editorials for publication when he should shuffle off, | and had them set in type. The mayor got well and the type discarded, but proofs had been struck, and somehow he got hold | of them. At the height of the campaign he read \ the laudatory editorials to a large audience, much to the amusement of the public and the discomfiture of the editors. But the newspapers had their revenge. The mayor was defeated in the election. ‘companied by ee . Behold 10.

Detailed press reports of the re- quest of the Secretary of War for an allotment, from one of the $1,- 000.000,000 recovery bills, of $40,- 000,000 for army housing indicate | the money is to be expended on existing army, posts, arsenals, depots and national cemeteries. Probably the law and custom re- quire funds from such a bill to be distributed throughout the coun-j try, or the Secretary of War might | have desired to take advantage of such a windfall to greatly reduce | the normal army cost by concen- | ivating some of the troops in larg-! er posts. In addition to some} twenty-odd depots and arsenals of supply, and several general hos- pitals, there are approximately 120 garrisoned posts in the limits of the United States that shelter an average of about 700 troops each. This includes the ten largest posts, the post-graduate army schools, for which some $10,000,000 are asked. At these separate schools young officers of the different arms undergo instruction largely separated from officers and troops of the other arms and branches— an officer normally going only to the schoo! of his own arm. Even if advantage could be tak- en of the allotment only to con- centrate all these army schools in one educational and training cen- ier, the advantage. to training would be manifest. At such a training center a young officer at- tending for a year the school of his own arm could then serve right there ‘with the troops of two other, ‘arms a second year, without change and without travel expense. ‘There are now at the staff school, infantry school, artillery school and cavalry school probably 10,- 000 troops—at five widely sep- arated posts. Field training with brigades and skeleton divisions would thus be practicable at no extra cost. We could then keep away from the former peace time condition in our army, where most all of us had never seen a brigade or’a division in being before we went into the last war. A young officer practically trained only and almost wholly in the work of his own arm will rare- ly ever reach his maximum of rea- sonable expertness and efficiency in war, for he will have imbibed { i MONDAY, JULY 17, 1933. — TODAY’S Temperature* Highest Lowest - Mean Normal Mean Rainfall* Yesterday’s Precipitation 1.82 Ins. p Ni mal Precipitation... .09 Ins Sun rises _| treme WEATHER jably occasional showers tonight d Tuesday!
