SIDELIGHTS ‘ By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen About one-half of the government's $8,300,000,000 fund for public works nas been alloeated by Secretary of the luterior Ickes, but few men have been put to work on the approved projects, because of de- lays in making plans and specifications, letting contracts, and soon. Nearly every state and local community is scrambling to get its share of this vast sum avaiiable in Uncle Sam's grab bag. Add to the roll of real heroes, the name of Herbert Brown, a former soldier suffering from tuberculosis at Baton Rouge, La. Interested in the frenzied re- searches béing made to find the cause and cure of sleeping sickness which has claim- ed many victims recently, Brown offered himself as a subject of experiments, say- ing: ‘I can not hope to live long; I ean not work and would like to do something use- ful for the world before I die.” a popularity was enhanced of two notorious hoaxes; one about the discovery of life on the moon, and the other telling of a balloon flight from England to America, the latter writ- ten by Edgar Allen Poe. _ Its very first is- sue, through a typographical error, was dated 1832, instead of 1833. Today the Sun is one of America’s great newspapers, with a circulation of 300,000. The Mlusery nature of fame is again brought to mind by the death of a world. famous American-born painter, Cecile de Wentworth. Her paintings hang in the Vaticaiy Museum in Rome, in the Luxem- bourg of Paris and in the Metropolitan in New. York... For her portrait of Pope Leo XIU she was made a papal marchesa, and she was the second woman painter to hold the French Legion of Honor Cross. She died in poverty at the municipal hospital in Nice, France, at the age of 80. Returning from a visit te Doorn, Hol- land, President von Kleinamid of the Uni- versity of Southern California declared that the former German Kaiser was en- thusiastic about President Roosevelt and the NRA. Some will wonder whether Wilhelm’s endorsement should be consider. ed a boost or a knock. € ORIGIN OF ODD PRICES We are so accustomed to articles in stores priced at 98 cents, $1.49, and other; odd-penny amounts that few persons give any thought to what once was considered a freakish idea of price-making. But G. E. Cilley, a well-known store advertising manager, tells in a recent ar- ticle that the custom arose from the solu- tion of a very practical problem by a shrewd merchant. When Captain Roland H. Macy got tired of sailing the briny deep as a sea captain and started a store in New York, there were no cash registers or other means for checking up his clerks. Money re- ceived for purchases were put in an old- fashioned cash drawer which made no rec- erds, and the practice of ““knocking-down” a euphemism for plain stealing by clerks, was quite prevalent. Macy changed all prices to odd-cent amounts, established cashiers to make the required change, and kept a close watch on the cashiers. His advertisements of these odd prices seemed to strike the pub- lic eye favorably, and he got a great re- sponse. What was at first only an ex- pedient to keep from being robbed devel- eped into a potent psychological appeal to his customers. Thus the odd-price has survived many years after the original reason for its adop- tion ceased to exist. AID FOK THE DEAF Through an invention recently exhib- ited by Dr. Frederick Bedell, professor of physics at Cornell University, a great many Persons who are supposed to be deaf can hear music satisfactorily through _ their. teeth. Briefly described, the apparatus used is a special phonograph receiver, terminat- ing in a metal disc, against which one end of a stick of wood is placed, the other end being held lightly between the listener’s teeth. The sound vibrations pass directly to the auditory nerves through the teeth and jawbones, even though the eardrums have been destroyed. Of course, destruction of the auditory nerves themselves would far- ever preclude hearing, but many cases of ccafness result merely from defects in the outer ear. In such cases Dr. Bedell’s in- vention would make hearing possible, An idea advanced in connection with the new device is that special transmitters might be placed near a radio or phono- graph, or even attached to the seats of a taJkie picture theater. The deaf listen- ery could prov: je himself with the necessary wooden stick and “listen in” at his pleas- ure, using his teeth as normal persons use their ears. There would even be some advantage in such a procedure. The listeners would not be annoyed by the irrelevant remarks and alleged wit of “back seat” auditors. ONE GREAT DIFFERENCE FROM FALLEN SYSTEMS (Independent, Waverly; Iowa) The history of the world thus far has been a tale of myriad fast-growing. civi-| lizations and modes of living-which climb- | ed to their peak, clung on for a time more or less unsteadily, and then plunged down- ward only to be suceeeded soon by another plan. And the parallels between the troub- les which assailed those social systems and our own are numerous. The situations look perilously alike, except for one thing: The civilizations of the past had no news- p&pers worthy of that title as we use it teday. No social system spread over the breadth of a continent has ever before been so thoroughly informed of conditions and of the needs of the hour as is the United States today. Complete and accurate information on business and political conditions and the astounding ability of the American to adjust himself quickly to suddenly chang- | ed conditions, as witness response to the N. R. A., give us in this day an advantage over all other social systems that have come to their “zero” hour. There is some discussion concerning the ornithological accuracy of the Blue Eagle, but what interests most citizens is his ability to fly.—New York Sun. The Pan-American conference should be a great success unless South America gets the idea that Uncle Sam is trying to run it.—Washington Post.
