DARNAHL, Former [ditor of The Key West Citizen Dr. Kendall of the Mayo Clinic, Ro- chester, Minn., has discovered the chemi- cal structure of the harmone of the sup- rarenal cortex gland. If any reader wants to make some of the stuff, here is the Ken- dall formula: “The mono-ether of epine- “phrine and beta-methyl-beta-ethyl dihy- droxypropionic acid, combined as an ester with the phenol group of beta-o-hydroxy- phenyl-beta, hydroxpropionaldehyde.” | | Many thousands will regret the pass- ing of Ring Lardner, famed humorist and short story writer, which occurred a few days ago. He made his early reputation as a sports writer and is credited: with rev- olutionizing that*phase’ of newspaper re- porting. Aceording to his own statement he was born in Niels, Mich., on March 1885, during a “Have-a-Baby Week.” It’s a deeided disadvantage to have a shop on a street at the foot of a steep hill, according to R. J. McCann of Seattle, who complained to the police: “Five parked ears have slipped their brakes and come crashing downhill through the front of the McCann Printing Company. That’s too many, There ought to be a law.” dk elas Students of Illinois Westlayan at Bloomington, IIl., have a new interpretation of the meaning of NRA. Since a new set of rules rigidly limits the association of male students with the co-eds, they say it means “necking rights abolished.” When the spitball was banned by the major baseball leagues in 1920 the 18 pitchers then using the. slippery delivery were allowell to continue, but no new ones were permitted to adopt it. | Now only two REVOLUTIONIZE RATE-PSIXING In Publie Utilities Fortnightly, Profes- sor Philip Cahot cuntributes some interest- ing observations on the dangers of rigid rate structrres for utility companies. Mr. Cabot believes the outworn theory of a fixed raie base has driven the industry close to a’financial crisis. This theory does not permit of rapid changes made by rises or falls in the general prize levei or | the national income. In his own words, “Tf new capital is to be attiacted on fair terms, public utility rates ~-ast be unshack- led; they must be made a responsive as possible under the circut.stances, to the law of supply and demand, in order that the companies may make pro¢it during periods of prosperity to carry them through ‘he foilowing depression.” “ have watcl 2a the ed vate base which did not permit of com- pensating revision until so much time had passed .ha “ill another set of stances was in command, railroad depression—which | started hefore the general depression—was, and is, found in a thousand businesses. It made for unemployment, less purchasing of com- | modities of ajl kinds, and erecting barriers in the way of progress. If our electric and gas utilities eventually find themselves in the same pusition, the public, as well vtility investors and workers, will severely Most cf the arguments over rates the | past few years have been due to the mis- conception that a fixed rate base was either sound or desirable.

THE SAFE DRIVER’S CODE There is one bedly needed code which will not have to await an official ture. It affects every persen in the coun- try, and its adoption should be unanimous. It is “Tne Safe Driver’s Code.” Accident statistics reported to June 30, 1933, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, show- | ed that 12,920 persons had been killed by extomobiles this year. The indications, judging from unofficial reports in July and August, are that final results may show a decided increase in deaths and accidents for 1933. This is doubly significant, be- cause there are nearly 10 percent fewer automobiles registered in the United States | this year than in 1931. To motorists, therefore, and to pedes- trians and all users of our streets and high- ways, the following code is directed: 1. Regulate your speed to fit traffic conditions; keep your car under control at all times. 2. Slow down for intersections, and obey traffic signals. 3. Use better judgment in passing, waiting until there is at least 500 feet of clear distance chead. 4. Pede ns: Cross at crosswalks; | walk on the left side facing traffic; obey traffic signals. 5. Remember that autoniobile acci- | of the 18 are still in the big leagues, Bur- } dents constitute an economic waste totel- leigh Grimes of the Cardinals and Urban Faber of the White Sox. The almost ircredible report of a| young mother, whose child was born before | she was 7 years old, izom) Delhi, | India, and was published in the British Medical Journal of Le According to the account, sent in by a reputable phy | cian, the child'weighed four pounds, three | ounces et birth, and now at the age of | nine months weighs il pounds two ounces. comes Ed Howe, the 80-year-old sage of Kansas, tells of some precautions which in | part accounts for his long life. He says. | “lam a careless man, but in the presence | of natural gas; a railway crossing, a gun, | © or women, I am able to exercise consider- able cautien.” One reason why men leave home is} told by a New York man who cavertise as follows: “This is to certify that I was told that I had to leave my bed and board, which was followed by a ham bone which caught me on the right ear; furthermore | I'll not be responsible for any bill that my | wife, Lillian, contracts.” ing billions, through property damage, high insurance costs, increased taxes, ete. Every .noto should feel that it his duty and privilege to pledge himself to this code. is QUESTIONING THE KIDS With a view to det other, Columbia recently questioned more than 500 boys between the ages of six and eight years. ked what they wanted to be when or professors grew up, only five expressed a desire | to beceme President of the United States. | And enly six out of the more than 500 re- membered ever hearing of Mr. An or Roosevelt. & those tested were several named n, Mosi of them thought the career of a or fireman would be s than any other. Manifestly, boys of such tender ages ld expected to know the an- rs to some of the questions asked. A grownups don’t know the not be either. Ho wever, it is hoped that the learned sors found out what ing} they were try j ito signa- | mining something } but they did not appear to know } much apout their namesake. 3 more to;t answers, | KEY WEST IN | DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Res | Ago Today As Taken From | The Files Of The Citizen { The Exchange Club’ campaign for funds for establishing a Key' West bureau in Miami and another! in Tampa, which has been under | way for the past two weeks, has! resulted in raising $1,031 up to date.
