SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen When a shoplifter In Cincinnati testi- fied that he had stolen a pair of shoes for his mother-in-law, the judge said: “‘Great- er love hath no man. You may go.” An interesting recent demonstration consisting of lighting an electric lamp bulb by passing radio waves through a man’s head. Such experiments should aid in determining the relative conductivity of solid ivory and a vacuum. am. Knowing that we must eventually shuffle off the mortal coil, most of us hope that we may do it painlessly. So did one H. W. Dyer of Lewisham, England, who padded his neck so that he might hang himself comfortably. But it didn’t work, so he is recovering after a mild choking spell. Like some of us less important indi- viduals, Poet Rudyard Kipling has.difficul- ty in keeping track of his bank balance. Merchants to whom he gives cheeks for small..amounts in payment.for, purchases do not, ae them, but sell them af a_ nice margin, rofit to souvenir hunters who ssess his aufagraphy’ ‘ air 3 A writer who digs up interesting sport items of bygone days tells that Charley Moran, pitching for Nashville Academy against Vanderbilt University, once struck out nine men in one inning, a world’s — re- cord, Yet in that inning Vanderbilt scored six runs. The explanation is that Moran’s catcher let six third strikes get by him. A good many people, including this writer, fear that the Lindberghs may make hazardous flights once too often and meet disaster, Still, one can never tell what might happen, or how. Bobby Leach went over Niagara Falls in a barrel unharmed, and later slipped on an orange peel in the street, receiving injuries which caused his death. Temperance, not teetotalism, is the motte of Chaplain Boney Ridley, 89-year- old North Carolina mountaineer, according to a news dispatch which quotes him thus: “It is true that in my youth I would drink a bit, but for the last 15 years I have been tapering down until now I notice that if I drink over a pint of whisky at one time it has a tendency to go to my head.” fab ONE ON SENATOR NORRIS In an editorial which won for him the coveted Pulitzer prize for 1930, Charles S. Ryckman of the Fremont (Neb.) Tribune told by the people of Nebraska continued | to send Senator George W. Norris to Wash- ; ington, although he had _ no_ political or} other influence in his home state. According to Ryckman, they do it be- cause Norris gives the state a lot of pub- licity, and they like to see him romp on eastern interests, against which they have a grouch. But, he continues: “The people of Nebraska would not let him (Norris) tell them how to elect a dog catcher in the smallest village in the state. Nebraska gets the same amusement ! out of his antics that a small boy gets out of sicking a dog on an alley cat.” j That Ryckman’s estimate of the sup- posedly great Senator’s lack of influence with his own people is correct was striking- ly illustrated last month, when his home| town, MeCook, Neb., voted on the question } of establishing a municipal electric plant. if Norris for many years has been the most prominent champion of public ownership of utilities. Yet, when McCook balloted on the question, the vote stood 1,088 againsta! municipal light plant, and only 698 in favor of it. NOT ALL IN LINE (Whirligig in Miami Daily News) More than 59 out of 67 Florida news- papers that have been awarded county j delinquent tax lists for publication as ad- vertising maiter have told the governor they do not wish to be a party to the waste- | ful expenditure of more than $500.000 of tax money. The Futch bill, in seeking to restore delinquent properties to the tax rolls, in- advertently requires county collectors to readvertise and sell again tax-delinquent lands which previously had been adver- tised and sold to the state. Since valid tax certificates already exist against such properties and the state has liens that will not be improved by further advertising, these unselfish members of the state press have asked the governor and cabinet to in- struct county collectors to withhold the Futch portion of the lists until the legis- jature can correct the half-million dollar extravagance. On the basis of recent tax collections it would require a_ three-mill levy of state tax to pay this advertising bill which most newspapers have waived as un- necessary and useless. Such a levy would take $99,000 out of Dade and $66,454 out of Broward coun- ty as their share of the total state ex- pense. The Miami Post, awarded contract for the Dade county list, has declined to join the majority and will insist upon publica- tion of the complete list, Whirligig is in- formed. It does this on grounds that it al- ready has contracted expenditures in prep- aration for publication and because it has heen advised non-publication of the entire list might invalidate the sale. The Futch bill does not affect municipal tax lists, only the routine current delinquencies being y city, collectors, a iAived woe ae VALUE OF BEAUTIFICATION (Orlando Star-Reparter) By actual count 3,600 admiring peo- ple stood before the floral display at the northwest corner of Eola Park last Sunday, | and 76 cameras were trained on the solid beds of delphiniums and snapdragons in a variety of colors, with the great bank of sweetpeas in the background. The sweetpea trellis is 190 feet long and 12 feet high. Twenty-three varieties of sweetpeas, some towering to the top of the trellis present a picture that thrills the | lover of flowers. People familiar with | California and Oregon where flower cul-| ture is a specialized industry, say that no- ! where have they seen sweetpeas to equal these in height, in profusion and in beauty | of bloom. Around the fountain, too, is an ar- rangement of flowers artistically planned so that a perfect color scheme is presented by each large bed. These with the nearby rose gardens attract many visitors. People from all parts of Central Florida come to admire these flowers and enjoy the park. Northern visitors to other parts of the state having heard of Eola’s flower show, stop in traveling north to get a view of it. tun KEY We ©0000000000OOOCCOOOOCOOOOOOOOSOOCOOOOOOOOOOOEOER | Daily Cross-word Puzzle } PPR wir, Mibomecssalloosion «seein Solution of Saturday's Puzzie CST APS IPIATS age 4 anes 8 ACROSS .
