DARNALL, ~ Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The famed four Key sisters, Oklahoma quadruplets, now grown up, have entered Baylor University at Waco, Texas, where scientists will continue to study them. The girls are said to be perfectly normal now, but the psychologists will doubtless think up some nice new complex for them. s Office workers at NRA headquarters in Washington are complaining about long J ‘and short pay, and think General should either live up to his own code or lose his Blue Eagle. There are a ‘many such complaints’ by govern- ment employes, who, like the veterans, think Uncle Sam is the worst chiseler of all. A Maryland man drawn for jury duty sought to be excused upon the unusual plea that he “did not have enough intelligence to"setve.” But the judge, knowing that in- telligence is never demanded of and not always ‘exhibited by jurors, ame to ex- ary ic know he is addicted to that form of using the weed. We used to speak of “the unspeak- able Turk.” - But the following vow, which every Turkish school child is re- quired to repeat daily, indicates that Turks, like the times, have changed: “I am a Turk, honest and industrious. My duty is to protect those weaker than I, to respect my elders, to love my country sincerely. My ideal is to raise myself higher and to con- tinue in the path of progress. I make a gift of my life to the life of Turkey.” The National Labor Board is used io handling difficult problems and replying to requests for information. But it was stumped by a brief note from a woman in Lycoming, Pa., who recently wrote: “Please send me complete information about capital and labor.” A federal game warden tells with in- dignation of the debauching of wild ducks on the Ohio river by pot hunters, who place corn mash, pepped up with alcohol, at the ducks’ feeding places. The ducks get drunk during the night and are easily = CARE OF THE EYES Many persons become blind, or go through life with impaired ’ision, because | of neglect of the most ordinary” precau- tions, according to Dr. Steelsmith of Iowa, who gives some good advice in a recent article. He declares that the putting of a drop or two of silver solution into the eyes of an infant at birth is a most important miat- ter, as five or six different kinds of germs which may cause partial or complete blind- ness are liable to gain access to the infant’s eyes at that time. It is also important to keep sharp or pointed instruments, such as scissors, pen- ceils and dangerously shaped toys away from very young children, and any foreign body which happens to get into the eyes should be given immediate attention. No inflammation of the eyes, howe -~ slight, should be neglected. With respect to cross-eyes, Dr. Steel- smith advises that steps be taken to correct this condition very early, eua he declares that a child no more than 4 year old may be taught to wear glasses for straightening the squint, which will in most ceses effect THE 18.

He warns against the use of ten-cent store glasses or any glasses not prescribed after expert exami- nation of the eyes. Reading in a poor light or in a bad po- sition strains the eyes unduly, while glare is also harmful and should be avoided as much as possible. Considering what a handicap poor eyesight places upon the individual, it is really strange that the simple precautions recommended by health authorities are so frequently neglected. SMALL INVESTORS ALERT Swiftly changing events make it im- possible for us to take yesterday as a guide to tomorrow, and the average small invest- or is particularly puzzled. And there are immense numbers of small investors—men and women everywhere whose funds are invested in stocks of various companies, and who wonder what tomorrow may bring. The day has pas:: ’ when the small investor could forget his investments. He must now be alert to company manage- ment. As pointed out by. Joseph Zook, president of the newly organized Mont- gomery Ward Stockholders association in Chicago, developments of the past few years “have served to teach the small in- vestor, to his sorrow, that he must take a direct, personal interest in the conduct of concerns to which he entrusts his savings. If he does not, no one else will.” The group Mr. Zook heads is an in- teresting example of how small investors are awakening to their responsivilities. Its members have organized to demand “‘nec- essary changes” in the Montgomery Ward management and methods. Stock- holders large and small are banding them- selves together with Mr. Zook, former treasurer of the company, to bring about constructive changes creating efficiency, economy and larger returns to investors. Small investors everywhere now real- ize they should see to it that their funds are protected ‘as carefully as they safe- guard their jobs, farms, stores, 6: homes. Cp A CRITIC’S ERROR That minor personal jiabits have no important bearing upon one’s ability is il- lustrated by a little joke that the late Gen- eral Goethals, builder of the Panama Can- al, was fond of telling on himself. Long before the now ubiquitious “cof- fin nails” became popular, or even re- spectable, the general became an inveterate cigarette smoker. When Goethals, then a major, was as- signed the difficult task of building the canal in 1907, after other eminent engi- neers had failed, a Washington newspaper editor commented unfavorably upon his se- lection for the job. After recounting the failures of others to accomplish the task, the newspaper said: “And what in heaven’s name can you expect of a nan who parts his hair in the middle and smokes cigarettes?” Yet Goethals did build the canal, al- though he continued to part his hair in the middle and smoke cigarettes as long as he lived. Pathiinder tells this one: The prison- er threw the magazine across his cell and raved, “Nothing in it »ut continued stor- ies, and I am te be hua: day after tomor- row.” YY LU, Y OP Meereccooreveresacseesecrcess Daily Cross-word Puzzle Dee ee ee ee oe ene Solution of Vesterday’s Puzzle IRIETAIO} oles lEIRIRISZAS|TEMZZON IE _aann iooo2 ne ae KEY WEST CITIZEN gtass stem .

He jlooks upon it as just another ad in the paper, when, as a matter of fact, his copy, handled properly, can be as attractive and interest- ing as the story which gets the on Page One. “There’s romance in advertis- ing just as there is in the day’s| news. There’s human interest in every piece of well-written adver- tising copy.
