On the con- trary, this road, almost completed, lacking only bridges over two water gaps, leads to one of the most beautiful spots to be found anywhere—Key West, a gem in the ocean, the enchanted isle. Ninety miles beyond lies Cuba, the pearl of the Antilles, mecca of thout#nds of tourists, A ROGUE’S NAME LIVES The other day The Citizen published a story of a mule being réscued from a well into which he had fallen, a derrick being used to hoist him to safety. This incident reminds us how the use of the word “derrick” came to be applied to var- ious lifting apparatus ana 1s interesting, for it confers a sort of immortality upon a raseal who became a famous hangman. When Robert, Earl of Essex, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth of England, aided in the capture of Cadiz, Spain, in 1596, some sailors under his command engaged in the pillage of the city, even making attacks upon Spanish women. Twenty-four of the culprits were con- demned to death, but no one wanted to be the executioner. Essex thereupon pardon- ed one of them, a sailor named Derrick, in consideration of his hanging the other 23, which he proceeded to do. Derrick evidently did a good job of it, for upon his return to England he was made hangman at the famed Tyburn' pris- on in London. In the meantime Essex had incurred the disfavor of the queen, and had made a feeble attempt to incite a revolution against her. condemned to death, On February 21, 1606, Hangman Der- rick had the painful duty of beheading the mah who had pardoned him in Cadiz five years before, and he wielded the axe as skillfully as he had hitherto manipulated the noose. But his name became a synonym for a hangman, and by extension to a gallows or other hoisting device. Thus the useful derrick came to be so called. TWO BIRTHDAYS Two men of widely different types, each of whom has been prominent in the world’s news for a long time, will reach important milestones in their life journey this month. Benito Mussolini is 50 years old today, and Henry Ford will be 70 tomorrow. Both rose from hum- ble beginnings. In early life Mussolini worked as a common laborer, but-managed te obtain a fair education. He fought as a corporal in the World War until he was wounded in February, 1917. In 1919 he founded the Fascisti to suppress Bolshevism, and by 1922 it had 4,000,000 members. It de- manded that Mussolini head the govern- ment and he was made premier by the king on October 80, 1922, since which time he has been Italy’s dictator. His rule has been stern, but on the whole, beneficial to the country. Henry Ford had only a common school education and began as a machinist’s help- er, later becoming chief engineer of one of Edison’s companies. He was a pioneer in the automobile field and employed more than 100,000 person at the height of pro- duction before the depression, at which time he was reputed to be worth a billion dollars or more. There is a world of inspiration in the study of these two men, who by their own efforts have risen from obscurity to com- manding places in their respective spherés of action. FATALITY OF DISEASE If you were told that you must have one of the well recognized diseases and take your chances on recovery, which | would you choose? According to two emi- nent physicians who have stadied the per- centage of fatalities from various maladies, your best bet would be to choose having measles, For they have found that only four- tenths of one percent of cases of measles proves fatal. On the other hand, the most deadly of acute diseases is lockjaw, which is also one of the most horrible. Yet lockjaw is not necessarily fatal, as many believe. In fact, it is nowadays, fatal in only 41 percent of cases, considerably less than one-half. Among the more common diseases, | pneumonia is the most deadly. Still, even in this most serious malady the mortality rate is only 17 percent. These figures, we assume, are based upon the assumption that no other compli- cations are present. Asa matter of prac- tical experience, a very great number of deaths are due not merely to the acute dis- tor, but to a combination of causes. Women rule a certain tribe of Indians in Peru. Which is further evidence that civilization is spreading. | He was tried and” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Seecenecesecccoccs ACROSS 1. Metric meas- | at 13. 14, wb. . Conjunction . Fish ej te Reh cams |.
