We do not know whether he spoke with regret ‘of ‘indigna- tion. The Palm Beach Post and the Palm Beach Times, morning and evening daily papers of West Palm Beach, Florida, have been merged. Not even large and wealthy a place as this city is, could af- ford two dailies without crippling both, so they did the wisest thing and consolidated. Both papers will be issued from the same plant. This new arrangement means a profit to the owners and a_ considerable saving to the community these papers are serving. so | one city’s taking a “crack” at another. A man of ordinary intelligence real- |’ MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS One of the objects that Col. Doherty advocated in the newspaper campaign “to. | sell Florida to Floridians” | was to create | a sort of ideal family spirit among the cities in the state, which would preclude izes it is a reprehensible practice to try to magnify his own importance by abusing somebody else; he realizes further that his strictures are likely to react in favor of the person abused. What is true of an individual is true of a city. No city that “knocks” another j city benefits from the knocking in the long run. The tourist, whom the knocking . is designed to attract, is repelled. He knows human nature as weil as anybody else; he is aware that jealousy or cupidity is the motive that prompts one to commend him- self while condemning the other fellow. Fifteen years or so ago few cities inj Florida eschewed wielding the maul, but the practice has so nearly died out its mani- festation now evokes immediate condem- nation. Thus it was that The Miami Herald recently took a West Palm Beach paper to task for declaring that Miami hotel «and | apartment house owners. were “gouging | tourists.” Even if what the West Palm Beach | paper said was true, it should’ have’ with- held its criticism and left it to Miami to | keep its own house in order. No man lives who can’t be censured rightly for something he does, and the same condition applies to cities, so that, in either case, the censurer is himself open to | censure. It is that fact that causes us to | steer clear of the man who carps about the | faults of his fellowmen. However, while every city in Florida should bury the “hammer” and let it stay buried, yet each should strive, as we men- tioned in the Miami-West Palm Beach in- | cident, to keep its own house in order. According to the Miami Daily News, a Miami Beach apartment house owner en- gaged in “tourist gouging’’, and the gougee and_ his family were on the point of leaving for California when a business connection heard of their plight and had them accom: modated comfortably and at reasonable rates. That probably is not an isolated in- cident. Undoubtedly, there have been many similar instances in Miami. But Mi- ami should not be censured for them, at least by outsiders, because she has the largest tourist population in her history, and it is impossible for her to throttle the law of supply and demand. Naturally, the cost of accommodations is higher this season than it was last be- cause of the greater demand for them, and it would be an anomaly of human nature were there not any gouging at all. But gouging is beside the point. there is gouging in Miami, it’s Mia business to correct that fault, not West Palm Beach's. Let West Palm Beach and every other | city in Florida each attend to its own bus ness. If that is done, it will heip, every city and redound to the credit of the state as a Whole. | i If DEMANDS ON FLYERS’ Hazards many othe of flying, like fields, hazards in are not to be measured merely in terms of flirting with sudden death. There must be considered the strain which continued flying exerts on the human body, especially on the eyes, ears, lungs, heart and nervous system. When bodily resources become ex- hausted the individual is likely to lose con-| fidence and judgment. Long flights may bring eye strain and headaches, while the } ear is subjected to severe stresses due to | cold winds, sudden changes of speed and \ direction, rapid variations in atmospheric | pressure and the terrific roar of the engine. Other parts of the body are heavily taxed, especially under unfavorable conditions. Therefore, men and women of the air | must live a careful life, eat moderately and | with a meticulous regard for proper diet. They must have proper rest, sleep and ex- e », and in other ways keep in the p of condition if they strenuous demands of air navigation. The most successful aviators, both men and women, have been those who gave most careful heed to the physical require- ments of their profession. \it would prove practical sufficient bonds to defray the ex- } lightful bry |M ; day appears would withstand the |i lost THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ACROSS Business getters .
