IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST, ~~ ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage, Bridges to complete Road to Main- land. Free Port. Hotels and Apartments Bathing Pavilion. Aquarium. Airporte—Land and Sea, Consolidation of County and City Governments. Life is ebbing away—while you are complaining of yesterday. Phe other person's misfortunes never seem as great as ours. After the aquarium is built, our ef- forts should be directed toward securing a botanical garden to exhibit the flora in- digenous to this soil and climate. The First Key West Flower Show was a distinct success. The Woman's Club which sponsored the floralia will make it an annual: event and introduce new features each year. Key West excels in both flora-nhd marine*fauna, and there should be no hesitancy in telling the world, nee + Phelitate flower of “Plévitte tig ith Orange Blossom, to answer ‘several in- quiries. And to add further the Daisy is the flower of the month, and symbolizes innocence. April is also the month of Flora, the antient Roman goddess of flowers; it is appropriate, therefore, to hold flower shows in this month of spring. Fishing seems to be epidemic in gov- ernmental circles. The House is fishing for more revenue. The Senate is fishing for arch-conspirators. Even the President has turned Waltonian and gone after some big ones, though unsuccessful. It looks as if we constituents, for all the attention CongréSs i8 paying to our real needs, might as well go fishing, too. President Roosevelt facetiously term- ed his son Elliott's statement that the presi- dent's fishing in waters away from Florida was “gross libel” and in the vernacular of the day “he was talking through his hat.” This sounds like a sop to someone or some- thing for the son evidently knew what he was talking about. If the axiom the greater the truth the greater the libel holds water, the chief executive's piscatorial ef- forts were nil. Moral: If you really want to-eateh fish, come to Key West waters. THE GYRO-STABILIZER Seasickness. and other discomforts of ocean travel in stormy weather will be eli- new gyro-stabilizer minated when the -comes into general Science Service. use, according to This stabilizer, which is really a huge | top made. to spin at high speed, has been | ‘developed toa practical stage,-and several have been ordered for installation in new vessels. ‘The largest so far made weighs | 120-tons and its rotor is capable of being spun at the rate of 930 revolutions per ' minute by means of a 200-horsepower motor. It takes an hour to get the rotor up to full speed, and- it will continue to spin for two hours after the power is shut off. Engineers say that a stabilizer of this | size will prevent a 450-foot ship from roll- ing more than two degrees storm. A new. 45,000-ton Italian liner will have three huge gyro-stabilizers, it is un- derstood, and it is expected that this de- vice will be adopted for use generally in in a heavy the finest ocean passenger ships of the ; . future. used for some time on yachts and other small craft, and it is believed that they will be equally effective on the largest ships. If expectations are realized, ocean passengers of the future may beable, re- gardless of the weather, to eat their meals in comfort, and, best of all, retain... them after they are eaten.

This year publie recognition is due the men responsible for the presentation of the weekly broadcasts from the state of the} Metropolitan Opera House. As the result of these programs, the great musical lore of the past few centuries, heretofore confined to the cultural centers of Europe and the United States, have been }-made available for the composite Amer- ican, essentially a man of simple tastes but keen appreciation of the finer things. We do not exaggerate when we say this past winter millions of average Americans have learned to recognize, and appreciate the | sterling qualities of such voices as those of Lily Pons, Giovanni Martinelli, Lucrezia Bori, Lawrence Tibbett, Rosa Ponselle and a host of others who were heard_on the air during the season. The operas themselves have taken on a new significance. We know now a little more about “Faust” and “Lucia”; “Pag- liacci’”’ and “Salome”; the genius of such composers as Verdi, Wagner and Leon- cavallo, to: mention but a few, has been brought home forcefully to us. And, in ap- preciation, to the men responsible we sug- gest—a profound courtesy. | ABUSES OF THE LAW (Leader, Wellington, ee, _At.a recent annual meeting . of the etsy Bae ‘Association Howie tpénl> admitted by prominent members that pub- lic confidence in the courts and their ad- ministration of the law is being steadily weakened, A report was adopted denouncing “the growing prevalency of the use of ex- pert witnesses, with their conflicting testi- mony.” This referred particularly to the use of alienists in criminal cases, where ex- perts may always be secured to testify that the accused is insane, provided he has the money to employ them. As a matter of fact, lawyers in conven- tion very frequently criticise the prevailing method of criminal procedure, but so far they have done very little to correct it. Legislators are also to blame for the present state of affairs, but as most legis- laters are lawyers the responsibility still | rests almost wholly upon the legal profes- sion, By the passage of innumerable laws regulating everything under the sun, and imposing upon peace officers the task of enforcing trivial and often foolish statutes, the perpetrator of major crimes such as murder and robbery have all the better chance to escape punishment. If more at- tention were given to the prevention and punishment of these serious offenses, it might be possible to reduce their number. j i i KEY WESTIN DAYS GONE BY| PP Fea Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen | Two ballot boxes will be used} at the bond election to be held in: the city hall Thursday, May 1, to! vote on the proposed issue of $60,-} 000 to complete the golf course, and the grounds around it.
