That we are “On Our Way” is not so important as to know whither we are drift- ing. | In the chilly north Old Man Winter finds it pleasant to linger in the lap of Spring, but soon the weathermap will shoo him off. & 95-year-old Oklahoma man _ was knocked down by an automobile.

We have records too, but they are on an inverse ratio. President Roosevelt has said that he doesn’t expect to make a hit every time he comes to bat. During the past few weeks & couple of strikes were called on him, but one was outside and wide. Nevertheless he has a healthy batting average. In Tampa several persons took the civil service examination for Postmaster but.only one qualified, while in. Key West at least three candidates were eertified,as eligible by the Civil Service Gommission. Well, that’s sumpin'—Key Wést Citizen. The Conchs are clever.—Tampa_ Tribune. “Praise from Sir Hubert is approbation, in- deed.” Thia seems to be an inconsistent world, with Unele Sam cutting wages and making NRA’ folks raise them; with the government AAA accused along with the steel industry with price-fixing; with popular demands crying out against fixed and regulated prices in shops and mar- kets. Inconsistency seem: to have lost con- nections with its “jewels” in this roaring _year of 1934. KEY WEST—A FREE ZONE Agitation for making New ‘York city a free port has been making in- creasing headway in recent weeks, and should serve as a spur to Miamians interested in the establishment of such a zone here with all its possibilities for transshipment of Central American and South American goods. In some, countries, notably in Great Britain, the so-called transshipment trade rep- resents 15 to 20 per cent of the total. In the free port of Hamburg, Ger- many,-it is reported that in one year 22,000,000 tons of freight were han- dled, utilizing 11 miles of piers, 2,000 eranes and more than 6,000 workmen. Free transshipment zones need not be limited: to New York city.—Miami News, Agitation for a free port or rather free zone has been under way in Key West for almost a decade of years, and dozens of editorials on the subject have been printed in The Citizen. Some years ago a comprehensive survey was made by Wil- liam T. Donnelly, M. E., and the result printed in pamphlet form by the Port In- dustrial Association of Key West, Florida. This survey.and teport will ‘be te- printed alforily 4 in a mse = The Citizen. CAS OR j Winter visitors need not Mites home this year for fear that fast winter trains will be taken off before their departure, loca) representatives of the Florida East Coast Railway announce. Arrangements have just been completed by this line to extend the operation of their trains until the middle of May. There is no logical reason why the|_. Florida season should terminate at the same conventional time year after year. Many 4 Florida visitor has returned home too early, much to his regret, and found himself in the midst of damp, chilly, slushy weather with its danger of influenza and pneumonia. Spring in Florida, on the other hand, is one of our most delightful seasons. Al- most imperceptibly the trees leaf out in new green; lawns and foliage take on a new freshness; flowers bloom ‘in greater profusion; the sun and surf become warm- er. But the fact that summer is arriving in Florida is no indication that the same condition exists up North. On the con- trary, you are apt to. be greeted by in- clement weather or even a belated snow storm. There is every reason why most of the people should remain in Florida until the northern spring is a and well ad- vanced. IS A POFATO A NUT? Sir Hari Singh, the maharajah of Kashmir, although conforming for policy’s sake to many of his native Hindu customs, appears to be not only intolerant of much the superstition of India, but to have a keen’ dnd practi¢al.sense of. humor. voowoode writer, tells of Sir, Haris. fast, pex- formedjin defererice to Hindy tiene after the death of his ‘uncle and at was in: connedtion= eat: scribed period of 13 days of motirning’and penitence, which required that each eve- ning he should walk barefoot to the funeral pyre of his uncle and there sleep on the ground. No food was to be taken except nuts, eaten only after sunset or before sun- rise, After a few days on this scanty and monotonous diet Sir Hari became des- perate. Then he had an inspiration. Call- ing a council of priests, he asked if the potato was not a nut. The priests, being diplomatic in their consideration of the suggestion of the new ruler, after. some hesitation and grave deliberation solemnly dcéided that the potato was really a nut. So potatoes and sweet potatoes were added | H to the maharajah’s diet during the re- | mainder of the “fast.” The maharajah is ‘‘some potatoes” in his own country, but he is far from being a “mut.” | } A grocery store in Sebring offered a pound of coffee to every lady customer who weighed 160 pounds or over and in-! vited them to use the seales at the front | door. The store manager knew it was per- fectly safe to make the offer, and we ven- ture the assertion he didn't have to give away a pound.—Punta Gorda Herald. © \ a the question most frequently’ COCCOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOSEEOSEOOOOOOOOOHCOSESOORCE Daily Cross-word Puzzl SOSCSOECHOSSOSSELEO Solution of Yesterday’s Puzzle OOnea OAD Glee JAISIAIR Ze [VIE ZAINIT|t | Sle |T A IE IAIN} RIVIE} IPlO|O MA TIRIAIDIE! 2 WON SOE Sau {O{D{o} re Runs away: 36.
