SIDELIGHTS 250 td fc: pal York; 36 nad bead ~ yale By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen A Wisconsin lady, Mrs. Lillian Sheas- by, set a unique record by reducing 44 pounds and getting paid for it. Declaring that she had lost that much weight through worrying aver the alienation of her hus- band’s'Sffections by Mrs. Stella Myers, the ng alarded her $2,500 in damages—or about $56 a pound. Fiji Island cannibals don’t think much of white folks as a regular diet, according to a returned traveler. He says the natives consider the whites too salty, but manage to eat them by mixing their flesh with a certain kind of stew. Perhaps they never got hold of one of the numerous fresh guys who are in evidence almost every- where. About 115 years ago young Johns Hopkins of Baltimore started a grocery business which prospered beyond his ex- pectations, and he became one of the coun- try’s leading financiers. He died in 1878, leaving more than seven million dollars to found the great university and hospital which bears his name. Perliaps no* man “rer had, re MONTE rrrrnmrewr””™ + oe Pas si A j ~ The ea of ete _ opunishment i been largely discarded by enlightened theologians, including recently Dean Inge of St. Paul's in London and the Bishop of Liverpool, the latter saying: “The crudity of the old pictures of bliss and torment shock us, and we are well rid of this teach- ing.” A lot of us live in the hope that the terrors of the hereafter have been con- siderably exaggerated. Only one enlisted man in active serv- ice in the United States Army is now en- titled to wear the Congressional Medal of | Honor, the highest American military decoration. He is Master Sergeant Lloyd M. Seibert of the Sixth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Knox, Ky. This decoration, au- thorized by congress in 1862, is considered equivalent to the famed Victoria Cross of England and the Iron Cross of Prussia. A mongrel pup in Rio de Janeiro ap- parently defies the power of electricity. Sentenced to death with 11 other dogs for vagrancy, he was placed in a death cham- ber for electrocution. When the current was turned on, all his companions were in- stantly killed, but he remained nonchalant. After several applications of high voltage juice the executioner gave up, had the pup pardoned and made a pet of him. REAL PAN-AMERICANISM (St. Augustine Record) Now that the Cuban © problem is straightening out to the satisfaction of a great majority of Americans, and the very real joy of Floridians, who ardently longed for formal recognition of the island re- public under the Mendieta government, and rejoiced over the fulfillment of that hope, it is expected that we may be able to go ahead and realize a genuiné \Pan- Americanism such as was planned twenty years ago. Secretary of State Hull aceom- plished a great deal of good at the Mon- tevideo Conference and this, together with the recognition of Cuba, would seem to make the whole outlook very bright for Pan-American peace, amity and good will. In the last two decades we and vari- ous other members of the once promising Pan-American Union have wandered far from its purpose. The World War and the League of Nations made some differ- ences. The policies of some headstrong Latin-American nations aroused ill will and division. Our own rather headstrong policies of intervention—military,.. diplo- matic and financial—have done likewise. .All of us, perhaps, are now about ready for a new deal—or even, as a Latin-Amer- ican diplomat has suggested, a new deck of cards. | — The spirit of this general change of heart was well expressed by Secretary of State Hull in his declaration’ at’ Mon- tevideo: “May I for a moment direct attention to the significance of this broad policy as my country is steadily carrying it into ef- fect? My government is doing its utmest, with due regard to commitments made in the past, to end with all possible speed en- gagements which have been set up by pre- vious circumstances. There are some en- gagements which can be removed more speedily than others. In some instances disentanglement from obligations of anoth- er era can only be brought about through the exercise of some patience, The United States is determined that its policy of en- lightened liberalism shall have full effect and shall be recognized in. its fullest im- port by its neighbors. The people of my own country strongly feel that the. so- called right of conquest must forever be banished from this hemisphere and, most of all, they shun and reject that so-called right for themselves.”’ That statement has had a tremendous effect among our sister republics. It will have still more effect when we renounce the Platt Amendment, which authorizes intervention in Cuba. From there, we may proceed to build up the nations of this whole Western Hemisphere, including Canada if possible, into a solid unit of co- operation and influence. Then, whatever may happen to the Old World, the New World will be ready to carry on, © USING OUR LEISURE Today the average person has more leisure than he had a generation ago, con- ‘sequently he has more opportunities for “cultural pursuits, if his inclinations are in ‘that direction. € The average work-day is shorter ‘and, hus even the manual laborer is enabled to share in the leisure which an advancing |' civilization has made possible. How to suitably employ leisure time is consequently becoming a rather important problem, the solution of which must naturally be found by each individual for himself. Spare time may well be devoted in part to studies which lead to advance- ment in one’s occupation or profession, or even to preparation for a more desirable calling. Correspondence courses afford many opportunities in these directions. For those who have found their life work and are succeeding in it, leisure of- fers the means of broadening the mental vision by a better acquaintance with the, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘Daily Cross-word Puzzle eco [__topay’s” | Aloe ; Lowest Mean emrcevaede Speak hastily and cor- fusedly Bard .

Evidence to the trary is forthcoming daily. Many are active in their petty knocking at this time but will soon learn, for their own satisfaction, we hope, that every knock indicates jealousy and this indicates there is something to be jealous of. Fair minded people seek to prove the knocker wrong and there is ample evidence in Key West to prove that in the case of this city, | every knock is really a boost.
