Tampa does not demand one to be brave to deserve the Fair. The price of ad- mission ‘will do the trick. Insull appears to be the man without a country, butshe would prefer to be, for the moment at least, the forgotten man. Obituaries often refer to an indulgent husband and father. In many cases “in- dulging” would be the more appropriate word, An Arizona girl shot her father “at the command of a ouija board.” Every gangster’s family should be supplied with a ouija board. Uncle Sam is now spending $200 a second. If one is inclined to do some figur- ing let him remember that there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Rudy Vallee says he is worth less than the $200,000 his wife claims he is worth. Not haviny any use for crooners, we think he is even worth less than he claims to be worth. Key Westers as they flensed the covers from their beds Tuesday morning, found the atmosphere a little chilly, even though it was warmer here than anywhere in the United States. The Miami Herald is authority for the assertion that “Montezuma was writing on a bed of glowing coals.” The old Aztec chieftain would have been quite an attrac- - tion had he lived in the day of Ripley. Key Weat’s unemployed have been given flour to make bread and now they will be furnished with butter, so they may have buttered bread. Besides a generous portion of pork also has been distributed. Uncle Sam is a kindly old gentleman, ; If we had a-national lottery it would __ tit the ap gambling places out of busi- would just about be-a thing of the past, at least reduced to such a de- gree that it would not drain a community to the extent that it has drained Key West. According to Time, Fulgencio Batista, the Cuban war-lord’s ancestry have been around quite a bit. He is one-quarter white, one-quarter black, one-quarter Chinese and one-quarter Indian. From this conglomera- tion you have the hombre de pecho who is in the lime-light of Cuban publicity today. Roosevelt’s devaluation of the dollar did not make much difference in the for- eign market. It went down a little, as ex- pected, then bobbed right up again. So long as the wealth and integrity of this great nation is back of the dollar, it will not matter much how great the devaluation. Since the merchants are complaining they are not greatly benefited by the CWA, then the only conclusion follows that the gamblers are getting the money. The Citi- zen understands that this gentry is waxing fat from the dole of the land. As the money being wasted in this manner is federal money wrung from the toiling tax- payer, it appears a federal investigation is in order. WHAT IS A TABLOID? Is a tabloid a newspaper? Is a tomato a fruit? Some people say “Yes” to ‘each of those questions, but a good many people answer negatively. Those who maintain that a tomato is a fruit base their conclusion on the assump- tion that vegetables grow only in the ground, and those who declare a tabloid is @ newspaper claim that anything that is printed and issued’régularly is a news- paper. } But a pumpkin and other vegetables grow above ground, and we have known of circulars that have been printed and is- sued regularly. The following, clipped from the Flor- ida Newspaper News, puts a legal con- struction on what constitutes a news- paper: But in some states the courts have held that tabloid “sheets” are not newspapers, and in Louisiana, the supreme court recently ruled on what constitutes a newspaper. The case in- volved validity of a public sale of property for which the legal notice had been published:in “The Daily Legal News” of Shreveport,” a tabloid- form paper featuring court news and proceedings. The supreme court de- clared the sale invalid’ because the News “employed no, reporters at the time of the sitit and did’ not hubscribe to the Associated ‘Press or. ny other news bureau.” \ CARILLON OF 72 BELLS Last month the largest carillon in the world was installed in the tower of the four million dollar Riverside Church in New York. It has 72 bells with a range of six octaves, the largest bell weighing 20 tons. The carillon tower is 360 feet high, into which the bells were hoisted by elec- tricity, using steel cables. Three bells in the world are larger than the big bass bell of the carillon, but it has the deepest tone. It is about eight feet high, its clapper alone weighing as much as the Liberty Bell, about a ton. The tower and carillon are the gift of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. He and his father are the largest contributors to the new church, of which Dr. Harry Emerson Fos- dick will be the pastor when it is opened for worship in October. Riverside Church, with its great caril- lon, will be a notable addition to the many fine religious edifices of the nation’s metropolis, OFFENSIVE SIGNS In keeping with what is becoming a world-wide protest against offensive signs and billboards, the authorities of Paris have decreed that no signs shall be dis- played on its famous thoroughfare, the Champs Elysees, which advertise any goods not actually sold on the premises. Recently protests were heard in Spain concerning objectionable American ill- boards which mar the landscape. In’ ‘this country the ‘women’s clubs*and“otiter . sort} yi ganizations are waging a campaign against the billboard nuisance... sense | *<* “By their-ereetion ‘of signboards which spoil the natural scenery along the high- ways, and by their encroachments in resi- dental sections of our cities, the billboard people have brought upon themselves the just resentment of that seetion of the pub- lic which has regard for appearances. When we become more civilized the billboard will go the way of the town erier. As an advertising medium it is an an- achronism already. SAFETY SUGGESTIONS Motorists are given seme sound ad- vice in recent bulletins issued by the Na- tional Safety Council.. Among the ad- monitions given are these: Beware ef carbon monoxide gas by keeping the garage open when you start your car. This gas is deadly, but you can neither see, smell nor taste it. Have brakes tested frequently. When road is slippery don’t apply brakes or step on the gas too suddenly. Take curves slowly. Watch out for car tracks. Be ex- tremely cautious when passing schools, playgrounds and other places where chil- dren are running about. In short, use head, hands and feet to prevent accidents. THE KEY WEST CITIZEIT .

Collier and _party,/ which includes Governor Hardee, of Florida, enjoyed their stay in Key West to the extent of re- maining several hours longer than | intended. On their arrival yes-| terday they intended to leave 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Instead, | it was after 7 o’clock in the eve-; ning before the Collier Yacht Flor- ida sailed for Miami. After the party were guests of State Sena- tor Wm. H. iene at the Casa| Marina for luncheon, they were! entertained at dinner in the eve-! ning by the Senator and Mrs. Ma-| lone, assisted by Mrs. Jefferson B. Browne, Mrs. Frank Jeffords, Mrs. W. B.

H Yesterday and this morning the information booth at the railway © station was surrounded by strang- ers and citizens viewing the im- mense sawfish that was captured several days ago by Joseph O. Flowers and Harry Rudolph, en- listed men of the navy stationed at the naval station. The fish is 15 feet long and weighs 800 pounds. It was caught on a tar- pon line. Business men of Key West are now more alive to the benefits of advertising than ever before, The fund that, it is expected, will be raised next year for the establish- ment of information booths in other cities will, it is expected, be $10,000 instead of the $2,000 raised this year by the Exchange Club. In all sections of Key West there have been many discussions during the past week on the pro- posal to establish the commission form of government in Key West. The Citizen has heard many dis-_ cussions and in no instance has there been any objections offered except one city employe who is considered one of the city’s fore- most politicians.
