(oe ‘There is nothing so cold as yesterday’s or rather last week’s news. Jurors are sworn to decide in favor of the side having the most convincing liars. Well, Carlos Mendieta always wanted the presidency of Cuba, and now he’s gotit, Lay Key West needs more people saying for the home beh and tener say- tng ‘ated t a the presidents as they are.ap- im ky their acceptance ‘and-fare- well speeches at the same time. é This is the open season for fly-by- \night propositions, schemes of various sorts, and “tricks that are vain,” so watch your step—don’t be a sucker. Anyway Carlos Hevia can say he was once president of Cuba, but whether there is|any prestige attached to that elevation under the circumstances is extremely problematic. | If the merchants of Key West show rise in advertising, people will be- that they show equal enterprise in good values, and that they will be able to sell goods at bottom prices. ent lie Senator Norris, of Nebraska, got rid of the, “Lame Ducks" by putting over the Twentieth Amendment. He also won his long fight for Muscle Shoals, and now he wants to have the electoral college abolish- ed, so that the voters may cast their votes directly for president and vice-president in- stead of voting for delegates. While the senator not get what he wants when he wants\it, he generally gets what he wants, he is almost always right. \ ; ‘ CONGRESS SETS TO WORK The wise men of Congress.are at their mighty labors once more, The’ people hope for a useful session, with much done to encourage business and clean up old abuses. If the orators can’t restrain their pent-up feelings, they would better~ boil down their speeches, and print the rest in the Congressional Record.” The people are impatient with too much talk and political maneuvering. Congress is a scene of conflict be- tween the various sections and elements of our great country. But these interests are not as conflicting as some people think. If the farmers of West and South can't sell their crops, they can’t buy factory goods. If the factory workers can’t sell their labor, their hungry families have no’money for food, The thing that hurts one section hurts us all. : ; It is a time of change, when gray- beards shake their heads, while street orators stamp their soapboxes, and demand new constitutions with fancy touches.

It must have taken a lot of liniment for the first weeks to soothe those sore muscles. But how they must have tucked in the beefsteak at the mess table; and. how they would sleep after their mighty labors in the stimulating air! After a few weeks of it, you would see their flat chests expand, their feeble muscles fill out, until they would swing an axe the way they used to handle a baseball bat. No one should fear to use the muscle Nature gave him. It was never meant to lie asleep.

First, the city is built on solid rock which would bear any weight *man‘eould-ever put upon <it: Second, the great amount of stone removed in excava- tions for these great buildings is heavier than the completed skyscrapers, although of apparently much less bulk. Citing a recent example, the stone excavated for the Chrysler building weighed twice as much as the building it- self, which when built was the highest in the world. So, the weight supported by the island is becoming less. instead of! greater.
