Day after day reports are| being received by the police de- partment of dogs found in differ- ent parts of the city dead or dy- ling from poisoning, Today a family pet was found dying from poison and was re- ported to the police leparinent An officed was sent to shoot the suffering animal. When the shot was fired it! struck the animal in the mouth. Frightened by the sound of the discharge and animated by the ad- ditional suffering from the bullet, the dog started running down the street, presenting a fearful sight with blood dripping from its dew- laps. Since this campaign of dog de- struction has started, many pet animals have been killed and the authorities are anxious to find out who is, or are, responsible for it. The brutal manner in which many dogs have been killed has jcaused much indignation among Key Westers and visitors, and many of the latter have been heard to say they will never re- turn to Key West where such out- rageous mean treatment is accord- ed dumb animals. NEARLY THOUSAND t ! AUTO TAGS SOLD, SAYS... COLLECTOR F. H. LADD MAKES CLOSE ES- BER HE EXPECTED WOULD BE SOLD IN KEY WEST When Tax Collector Frank’ H. Ladd estimated in the early part of the year that 1,000 automobile !tags should be sold in Monroe county he made one of the clos- est computations ever made by any collector. Without any absolute data on which to base his estimate and with the many changes made dur- ing the past year in the ownership of cars and the depression that would and did keep many own- jers of cars from buying tags, missed the number by only a few. Asked this morning how many owners of cars and automobiles jhad purchased tags by ‘The Ci zen, he replied: “If we sell five more tags we will have sold 1,000 which, if you will remember, was the estimate I made when the same question was asked early in Febru- ary.” \RELIEF FOODSTUFF | GIVEN OUT TODAY i i TIMATE IN STATING NUM-| ‘i KEY WEST, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1934.

And John and Lionel, inheri ing acting gifts from their father and from their mother’s line of acting Drews, must have inherit- ed peculiarly, from father alone, a philosophical resignation to act- ing as a way to earn a living.

Acting Meant A Living Maurice Barrymore knew per- yonni} of his time and knew their in- comes. He also knew that John and Lionel had no genius for| science, for medicine, for bridge building, and the choice was be- tween art and acting. He advised acting, because at least in acting one made money. Nevertheless, Lionel left flour- ishing stage career to study art in Paris, John studied it in London, York newspaper and went into acting because he was fired. Lionel, like John, returned to the stage to make a living.
