DARNALL, e Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Anold war story recently revived: There was much rivalry between two regi- ments, one from Wisconsin and another from Massachusetts, stationed at the same camp. One day a traveling evangelist approached the Wisconsin colonel, asking permission to hold services and telling that he had converted eight men of the rival outfit. The colonel roared: “Adjutant, detail 10 men for baptism at once; no damned Massachusetts regiment is going to beat us for religion.” Four government witnesses against Waxie Gordon, New York racketeer, have been murdered, according to the Federal attorney. Thus is a new field opened to unemployed gunmen. Gordon is charged with that most serious of gangster crimes, falsifying his income tax returns. ‘An interesting news item tells of the Harvard rowing crew of 1883, all nine still living, who boarded a racing shell and row- ed two miles up Charles River as an inci- dent of the recent commencement. These sturdy oarsmen, all now over 70, and all prominent in business and professional cir- cles, recalled their victory over Yale a half century ago. They made the somewhat reckless promise to row up the Charles again in 19438. Last year automobile thefts in Chicago and Cook county totalled 34,246, or more than the number of new cars registered during the same period. Consequently “automobile insurance rates are higher in Chicago than elsewhere, the premium. be- ing $91.80. per $1,000 of,imsurance on a certain popular, car, while otHer cities’ rates are $30.50.in New York, $17.00 in Boston, $9.50 in Washington and $7.60 in San Francisco. Sea sickness, car sickness and air sickness may be relieved by electrically heating the back of the neck, according to Dr. E. E. Free, the eminent scientist, who declares the same treatment to be helpful in many cases of sick headache. It might even relieve that pain in the neck which the average radio program gives persons above the moron class, Frank Thomsone of Muskogee, Okla., thinks he got a raw deal as referee of a wrestling match fecently, and is asking $10,400 damages. He says every move of the bout was framed up, but that the promoters failed to inform him that he was to be thrown out of the ring by-one of the wrestlers. Frank suffered a broken leg when he hit the concrete. We read that a great many Democrat- ‘ic Congressmen are still hanging around * Washington, although it is well known that our national capital is not exactly an ideal summer resort. The explanation is of- fered that the boys are naturally afraid to go home because they have not been able to land any jobs for deserving Democrats ir their districts, | phis, Tenn. DR. LOMBARD Dr. M. S. Lombard, who had been sur- geon at the Marine Hospital for six years, will be remembered in Key West for two things chiefly: his effective work as rep- resentative here of the State Board of Health and his initiating the movement that resulted in the building of an annex to the hospital. As a result of that addition, the per- sonnel at the hospital was increased many times and the patients there frequently numbered more than 100. Dr. Lombard’s interest in the commun- ity was remindful of that of Dr. Guiteras, who married a Key Wester and who, for nearly a score of years, considered Key West his home. Dr. Lombard’s medical work in Key West was completed before he left here Saturday evening for his new post in Mem- In doing that work, he was always ready to cooperate with civic au- thorities. If he had any motto in his work at the hospital it must have been “Right Away.” It was due to that promptness that he accomplished so much of a beneficial na- ture, both as a surgeon in charge at the Marine Hospital and in the medical aid he rendered in the community. As regards the annex, it was he who conceived the idea of having it constructed when the Veterans’ Bureau in Washington first became active, and, in keeping with his motto, he started immediately to put the idea into effect, through local civic bodies. That the personnel at the hospital has since been reduced in number is no fault of his: It was in keeping with the general order to curtail expenses at veterans’ hos- pitals throughout the country. The Citizen feels confident that it voices the sentiment of all Key Westers when it expresses its keen regret over the transfer of Dr. Lombard. AL SMITH’S VIEW In the midst of the enthusiasm for the “New Deal” sponsored by President Roosevelt there has lately appeared eriticism of some of the measures whereby his program is to be put into effect. The most prominent critic gf the law by which the government is empowered to exercise dictatorial powers over business and industry, known as the National Re- covery Act, is Alfred E. Smith, presidential candidate in 1928. In his magazine, The New Outlook, he said, in part: “This act, if the terms are carried out, will cripple initiative, legalize - and even encourage monopoly, raise prices and require higher tariffs to maintain the new structures. The little man will be lost in the shuffle. I do not want to see this land of opportunity sink to a dead level in which we shall all be civic servants, working un- der political control. If that happens, we shall have sold our American _ birthright for a mess of Communistic pottage.” A great many patriotic citizens agree with Mr. Smith that some of the legisla- tion passed by the recent congress goes too far in the direction of placing everybody and everything under government control. 4 We can only await the result of these revolutionary measures and in the mean- time hope for the best. THIS PROGRESSIVE AGE The development of aviation goes for- ward at a pace most startling to those who really stop and take note of it. The casual newspaper reader regards nowadays as commonplace news the ac- counts of aviation feats which would have startled the world but a few years ago. With Colonel Lindbergh off on an interna- tional flight, with General Balbo landing at Chicago with an Italian squadron of sea- planes from Rome, with Admiral Byrd off on another trip to the South Pole, with Wil- ey Fost on a solo flight to encircle the globe, with Jimmie Mattern turned up alive in Siberia, with Amelia Earhart having | hopped from San Francisco to New York in seventeen hours, the world of aviation looms so large and moves so rapidly none of it can take a tragic grip upon the im- agination of the people any more. Yet aviation but typifies the revolu- tionary changes which are taking place just now throughout the world of human institutions. Government, industry, fi- nance, commerce, all are undergoing revo- lationary changes. He who attempts to interpret the pres- ent and the future in terms of the past is bewildered.
