DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen “An electrical robot that answers 180 questions has been set up on a prominent Berlin street intersection. When an atten- dant presses the appropriate button the answer comes forth on a printed card. The machine is designed to aid persons who want to find various buildings, stores and nearest places to obtain certain goods or services, The answers are free. ~ When a mouse bites a snake it is news. This story comes in a press dispatch from Coalinga, Calif. L. B. Taylor tried to mé@ke pets of two rattlers but they would not eat. When he tried to tempt them with two live mice placed in their wire cage, the mice chewed on the snakes so vigiously that one snake died and the other was rescued badly bitten. Many accidents have occurred in bath- tubs, but the strangest befell Mrs. Mary Benson of Denver, who got wedged under the water taps in her tub. With no one near to hear her calls for help, she remain- ed there four days until neighbors finally found and released her. After being held up on six different occasions, Louis Wajay, a young Chicago pharmacist, concluded that enough of any- thing is plenty, so concealed two automa- tits under his counter. When two bandits attempted the seventh hold-up, Wajay beat them to the draw, killed one and caused the other to flee. As Achilles was vulnerable in the heel, so is Thomas A. Hogdon of Skowhe- fan, Me., vulnerable in the ankle. He says that every time he is hit on the ankle he be- comes blind for a week or more. His pe- CWiarity is giving veterans’ compensation GPricials a perplexing problem in determin- ite when he is blind and when he isn't. 3 After winning two National League Pennants and one world’s championship sinte he became manager of the St. Louis Gardinais in 1930, Gabby Street has been Superseded by Frankie Frisch in an effort ‘th check the slump into which the team had fallen of late, The Cardinals have had more different managers than any other big league team; in the year 1895 alone they had six. HISTORY CAN REPEAT ITSELF In 1860 the federal] government cost the average citizen $2.08 per year. In 1931 the cost of government, for all units, was $107.87 per capita. In 1913 the total cost of government was $2,900,000,000, and in 1919 $7,500,- 000,000, and in 1931 it was $14,000,000,- 000. In 1929—a year of inflated prosperity —the total tax of the American people amounted to 16 per cent of their incomes. In 1931—A year of bleak depression it amounted to 28 per cent. The cur- rent year may be the most expensive in our history, with the exception of the war pe- riod. How much of the increase in the cost | of government, federal, state and local, can be laid to waste, is problematical. And there is no question but that it runs into hundreds of millions, for there are scores of bureaus, commissions and inflated gov- ernment payrolls, many of which simply duplicate the work of others. We have permitted the government ta go into various tax-exempt business ven- tures in competition with the livelihoods of private citizens who are forced to pay the taxes to maintain the competition More and more money is going into tax-exempt government bonds instead of taxable, labor employing investments. The result is increased unemployment and dis- tress. History shows many examples of tax- ing a people until they repudiate tax obli-| gations, Unless all units of government retrench, it is not impossible to force such a tax crisis in our own country. THE FLYING (MOLLISONS Although they crashed and were both slightly injured in landing in Connecticut, the east and west flight of James and Amy Johnson Mollison across the Atlantic should be classed as a success. This couple has added a remarkable joint accomplishment to their notable individual records as long distance flyers. Before her marriage Amy Johnson had flown alone from London to Australia; from London to Tokyo; from England to south Africa, and many other flights which compare with the best feats of men avia- tors. This year she was awarded -the Seagrave Memorial, England’s most covet- ed aviation trophy, heretofore awarded only to men. Mollison is the first man to twice make the difficult east to west crossing of the Atlantic, and the only man to make it alone. He has also flown from England to Capetown, South Africa; from England to Egypt; from India to England, and from England to Brazil by way of Africa. Mollison is 28 and his wife is 23. They were married on July 29, 1982. He isa native of Glasgow, Scotland, and joined the Royal Air Force when he was 18. _ __Be- fore taking up aviation, Mrs. Mollison was a London typist. qn a year of many record-breaking feats in aviation, the Mollisons’ Trans-At- lantic flight will be listed among the great- est. RELIEF MOBILIZATION While it is hoped that the unemploy- ment situation may be less acute next win- ter, relief workers, know there will be a tremendous demand for food, clothing and shelter among the poor for many months to come. Plans for continuing relief work will be laid at a rally of civic and welfare lead- ers, to be held in Washington in September. It is expected to conduct an intensive mob- ilization effort between October 29 and No- vember 19, when the public will be called upon to give liberally for the support of local community chests, but no national fund will be raised. Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war and head of relief mobilization last year again has been called to service as chairman of the 1933 mobilization, the ob- ject of which is thus stated: “Its sole pur- pose is to coordinate social service organi- zations and to present to the public the ne- cessity of the human services which must be supported at this critical time.” As heretofore, women will plan an im- portant part in this mobilization, and wom- en's committees will be formed in every community supporting welfare services. Through the unselfish labors of many thousands of volunteer social workers, both men and women, sufficient funds have been raised in the past to reduce actual suffering to a minimum during the depres- sion, This work must go on if the distress which still faces millions of our people is to be avoided.
