SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Announcement is made that the United States fleet of 110 war vessels and 300 aircraft will leave San Pedro, Calif., April 9 for Atlantic waters. This should serve to calm that Japanese admiral who saw a threat to his country in the sending of six navy airplanes on a mass flight to Honolulu recently. President Roosevelt will review the fleet at New York June 1. Mrs. Luigi Pinto of Philadelphia is a bit hazy about art, in which her three sons excel. After they had won scholarships enabling them to study abroad, all three executed paintings in Europe which were highly praised by critics. Upon their re- turn home recently to visit their mother, she said: “So you are all fine painters! Now you can give the house a nice new coat of paint.” In his syndicated column O. O. Mc- Intyre gives a thumb-nail sketch of Mae West, naughty girl of the stage and screen, who is doing her bit toward making feminine curves fashionable again. Off- stage he says she is a very good |» in- deed, who lives quietly in “&” Hollywood apa " use, seldom goes out, never ett y parties, smokes © moderately, is religious and gives to charities. Her father was an Irish pugilist, her mother a Jewess. Mae is an adherent of the Catho- lie faith. Celebrating a century of missionary work in China, the American Bible Society disclosed that in the 100 years it had sent almost 70 million volumes of scripture to the “heathen Chinese” at a cost of nearly three million dollars. This, of course, is in addition to the many millions spent by various Christian churches in missionary efforts. Dr. Elijah C. Bridgman was the first Protestant missionary to print parts of the Bible in Chinese, in 1834. When ‘the German sea raider Emden was destroyed by the Australian cruiser Sydney in 1914, the Emden’s ship’s bell was given to the city of Sydney as a trophy for its war museum. It was stolen last April and a world-wide search was made by the best means available. A few days ago, acting on a telephonic tip from an unknown person, Sydney newspapermen found the bell buried in a suburban park at Mel- bourne, 500 miles away. Still unsolved is the mystery of who was the thief and what was his motive. ‘hazards of the highways and KILLED, 29,900; INJURED, 850,000! (Times-Union) An awful record truly; the deaths and injuries in automobile accidents in the United States during the year 1933, killed, 29,900; wounded, maimed, disfigured, 850,000 people; men, women and children; old-azd young, rich and poor! War, pesti- | 1x Bie lence and famine do little more, perhaps not so much. And this during a year when because of the depression prevailing there were thousands fewer cars on the streets and highways. It is to find stories of wrecks and killings every day, in almost every newspaper. The careless, reckless, heedless drivers go on. There seems to be no way to check the slaughter. The loss of life compares disgracefully with the figures for 1932. Then they were enor- mously too great, there was no excuse for the 29,196 fatal accidents of that year. There is none for the last year’s record. The Travelers’ Insurance Company says that the upward trend in deaths from automobile accidents was broken for the first time in 1932; it was resumed in 1933, beginning last June. The Travelers com- putes the number of accidents at 750,000 and the number of persons injured at nearly 850,000. “The gain in,, fatalities per accident amounted to 5.9" per cent and the number of injuries per accident in- creased 2.2 per cent, while deaths and in- juries combined per accident increased 2.4 per cent. The gain in automobile accident fatalities as well as injuries per accident for last year occurred despite an indicated drop of 1.6 per cent in the total number of motor vehicles registered and a decrease of nearly 2 per cent in the consumption of gasoline by motor vehicles.” On the basis of available figures, “automobile accident fatalities increased | TRE KEY WEST CITiZEN ] FOCOCOOOOOOSOOOO OOOO SEES OSETCOSSOSEOSEVEOEOEOOSOS Daily Cross-word Puzzle ©0000 00S DSSS COODESOSRSSRSEEBEDESESODSSEOMIECVSESE ACROSS .

Decreases were only recorded in the Middle Atlantic States where the drop in deaths was 3.7 per cent and in the East North Central group of States where the decrease was 3.5 per cent.” Looking into the causes of accidents the Travelers finds that of all faulty driv- ing by motorists that of operating too fast for existing conditions was, as usual, the most hazardous. Almost one-third of deaths due to faulty driving resulted from speeding—going too fast; unmindful of conditions. In regard to pedestrians killed one-fifth were making a regular crossing; nearly one-fourth were crossing between intersections. Operating defective cars— bad brakes, no brakes, other mechanical troubles contributed to the wrecks and in- juries inflicted. i Florida’s share in the awful record of death and injury on highway and_ street during the year just passed is most dis- creditable. But it can at least be claimed that the South has.a smaller percentage of the totals than some sections. Florida is honestly, seriously, trying to reduce the streets. It has ample laws, and the éanipdign begun last Fall for reduction’ of ‘ ‘automobile casualties in the State: has»prebably«been beneficial; but greater effort is evidently needed to bring the drivers of cars to the realization of what they are doing. In Florida, where there are during a great part of the year thousands of cars from everywhere, driving about, not so much on business as for pleasure, there | ought to be the fullest compliance with the laws regarding speed, control of cars, and | general obedience to regulations made for the safety of all who drive or walk. NRA GOOD FOR JOHNSONS! (Miami Friday Night) | Nepotism isn't dead by a long shot. | The NRA was founded to put people to | work and on payrolls.
