President | Butler of Columbia Univer- sity says there isno great poet in the world today. Which remark will be resented by admirers of Mr: Eddie Guest. Jonah can’t figure out how an aviator ean fly around the world and yet go only 15,000 when his geography says the earth's eumference is 25,000 miles. Por something that is about to collapse every time a newspaper edition reaches the street, the world conference is remarkably long-lived.—The South Bend Tribune. : Tf the tax dodger can avoid publicity by having his delinquent property adver- tised under the pseudonym “Unknown,” the object of printing the list is frustrated. A Yale professor, who has great con- fidence in ambitions youth, says: “The boy who is determined to go to the devil will iv all probability accomplish his pur- pose,” The Citizen has always advocated the merger of the City of Key West with the | County of Moaree and this desideratum | may evélitually come te pass. At the gen- eral election next November Jacksonville and Duval county will vote on the consol- | idation of the city and the county. There are no more deserving demo- erats in the country than editors of demo- cratic papers, and the present administra- tion is acknowledging their work for the party by giving them government positions, | particularly postmasterships. Forty thou- | sand political jobs still held by opposition- ists may soon change hands. Considerable grumbling in the democratic ranks is being heard because this has not been done be- fore. _ Democrats have to eat just like re publicdans. | riages,. | United States. were divorced, while | no less than 201,468 couples were released tinuous regularity, until in the year 1931, the last for which complete statistics are available, it reached 17 for every 100 mar- riages, or about one out of six. Taking the record of 40 years by in- tervals of 10 years we find the following: ‘Phere were 6 divorces for every 100 mar- in 1891. 8.2 in 1901; 9.3 in 1911; 13.7 in 1921, and 17 in 1931.. During the same period the number of marriages per 100,000 of population has not varied great- ly, but the last 20 years has shown a slight | increase over the previous 20, with the ex- ception of the recent depression years, which have shown a slight falling off. The lowest number of marriages, pop- ulation considered during this 40-year pe- riod, was in 1894, when there were 8.6 marriages per 100,000 of population; the highest was in 1920, when the number rose to 11.96. : Taking actual figures without consid- ering the increase in population, it is shown that in 1888 only 29,669 persens in the the | highest number was reached in. 1929, when from their marital bonds. The most distressing feature of this rapid and continuous spread of the divorce habit is that more than 100,000. children are affected by it emi vee RACKETEERING GOES ON The evil in evil men seems bound to crop, out in one form or another. The liquor racketeering of this country’s un- derworld is face to face with the neces- sity, for shifting to some other enterprise as a means of livelihood since alcoholic bev- efages are beginning to be sold with legal sanction, Apparently these racketeers have met their ‘business depression” by turning to the game of kidnaping. The merchandise of the bootlegger has now become the bodies of human beings, instead of kegs of beer and eases of whiskey. It is comforting to reflect, however, that this latest industry of the racketeer is a last stand. It is a business of desperation. Tt will never be condoned by common a Percelvet by Ol] . Wings .

It arouses fear in every human breast, and every citizen in the land is aroused to vigilance in the tracking down and conviction, of the criminal in his new- est role. Added to this: reflection the fact that the bodies of live human. beings are not so easily hidden as have been the other mer- ehandise of the racketeer there is ample justification for the conclugion that the racketeer is really on his last leg. OUR AMAZING HELEN For the sixth time, Mrs. Helen Wills Moody won the women’s tennis singles at Wimbledon, England, a few days ago, playing the finals against Miss Dorothy Round, a little English girl who gave the world’s champion one of the hardest bat- tles. of her career. Since 1926 the California star has dominated the women’s tennis world, and she has been the American champion con- tinuously since 1923, Born in Centerville, California, in 1906, Helen Wills became the woman’s na- tional tennis champien shortly before her Lith birthday. She was graduated from the University of California in 1927, and j married Frederick S. Moody, Jr., of San Francisco in 192% She will be 27 on Qct- ober 6, and doubtless has many more cham- pionships ahead of her. ? ‘ Besides her unequalled skill-as a ten- nis player, Mrs. Moody is an aecomplished artist, a collection of her paintings and drawings having been exhibited in the Grand Central Galleries in New York in F930. America is proud of this amazing girl, whose brilliant recerd, both in this country and in Europe, marks her as the greatest woman tennis player of all time. fed at the home of Miss Lena John origin oceurred between the hours of 4 to 6 this morning.
