At his inauguration, President Cespe- des of Cuba served water. His predecessor offered champagne in copious draughts, and later became drunk with power. Since we went off the gold standard the United States treasury reports that there are now $90,000,000 fewer in cireu- lation, Who's doing the hoarding now? The Miami Herald in a caption refers to a bride-to-be as a “financee.” Not an inappropriate name for those American girls _ marry Européan fortane-hunters. ir aa know just a little Spanish you will be able to tell who is to be the next postmaster of Key West. You will know MORE when you spell his name back- ward. Without the benevolent mediation of the United States in the Cuban imbroglio, much blood would have been shed, for the whole country was up in arms at fever heat, and the administration was ready to main- tain itself in power at the ruthless sacrifice of lives.

That war is against the | accident menace—in industry, the home, on the highways and elsewhere. This is not an empty parallel. Auto- | mobile accidents alone actually cost more } lives than war..- fering. They create as much suf- They are even comparable to war in the economic waste they entail. On a number of fronts this war has been successful. In the industrial field, tremendous progress in accident prevention has been made. The roster of important | industries which operate for months at a | stretch without a single mishap of impor- tance, is constantly growing. The life and health of workers in every producing field has never been better guarded—be- | cause management has been tireless in hie stilling the doctrine of safety-first into its employes. That is also true of children of school age. Thousands of young lives have been | saved through courses on caution and: ac-| cident prevention. i The great failure has been in the field | of the automobile. Most years have seen decisive advances in the number. of deaths and injuries over the last. Reductions, the f times they have occurred, have been small. The reckless and inconsider- ate driver has scored victory after victory. The result is that our public streets and highways have become places of carnage. The never-ending war against acci- dent must be fought with increasing vigor if itis to succeed. The dangerous driver is Public Enemy Number 1. He should be given the treatment he deserves. RECORD SMASHING YEAR So many all-time records in sport, avi- ation and other competitive fields have been broken already this year that it is dif- ficult to keep. track of them. _ It is likely that 1933 will be known as_ the record esmashing year in nearly all Activities re- quiring high personal courage, endurance and skill. Added to the feats of the Mollisons, Post, Balbo and others in aviation, comes the non-stop record of the French aviators, Rossi and’ Codos, who flew from New York to Rayak, Syria, approximately 5,900 miles, This was nearly 600 miles in ex- cess: of the previous record. New baseball history is also being made. Consider Carl Hubbell, pitcher of the New York Giants, who hurled 18 in- nings in a row without allowing the St. Louis Cardinals_a single run, without: giv- ing @ base on balls, striking out 12 and per- mitting only 6 hits in the 18-inning game which the Giants won, 1 to0. A few days ago Hubbell had won his 16th straight vic- tery, in 8 of which his opponents had been allowed no runs, and had pitched 46 conse- cutive innings without a score against him, an all-time record. Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals set a new strike-out record for a single game by fanning 17 Chicago Cub batters and win- ning 8 to 2. The previous strike-out ree- ord for a 9-inning game was 16, held joint- ly by Fred Hahn, Christy Mathewson, Rube Waddell and Nap Rucker. It would be fine if business could do a little record-breaking to keep: the world of spert company. THEY AGREED ON SILVER The World Economic Conference has adjourned temporarily—and to most ob- servers, it will be no surprise if the last | word is changed to “permanently.” It disagreed on almost every impor- tant issue. It threw out of discussion such burning subjects as war debts, tariffs and armaments—and thus made it impossible to achieve any progress whatsoever in the problems that caused its crea- tion in the first place. But it did agree on one important sub- | ject—and the fact that it disagreed makes that single achievement stand out | like Everest over the valleys of Tibet. The | subject is silver. The delegates found that are inescapably a factor in world depression, and that world recovery accompanied by a sub stantial rise in the price of the metal. That really means something. lf we} bring silver ‘back—and it is starting back now—many of our problems will grow less tense, and some will disappear entirely | The World Economie Conference has ap- plied the spurs, and focused the attention | of the peoples of the world on the issue. It is time for action, soi so} must be THE KEY WEST CirizeNn eccuce Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS 1. Commit theft 4. ’. molding . Drinking vessel § .
