Kibitzers may be found right here in Key West. The word “prestige” has come by its Mefning in a most curios way. It comes from a Latin word meaning the juggling of tricks, which was once considered as a sort of enchantment. And, ‘since to efichant is to charm, and charm is to win the heart, h@nce prestige, the ascendency based oh the recognition of power or influence. The word prestidigitator comes from the same root and so once a slight of hand performer was the first to have prestige. Jievident that would-be ‘silver profiteers are SILVER HOARDS There is relief‘in many quarters that the list of heavy silver holders sent to con-j gress by Secretary Morgenthau contains no|* names of men prominent in the movement for remonetization of silver : Obviously those who have been in- yesting in silver bullion hope -to make a profit out of it and will wéleonie ahy gov-| ernmental action that will boost the value of their holdings. It would also be too much to expect of human nature that they should not be exerting any influence at all to help along thé cause. Doubtless some of the publicity and some of the congressional zeal for more silver coinage have been in- | spired by the speculators. But so far there has been no scandal revealed. It should be recognized by everyone that it is no crime to buy silver. There is, 80 far, ho law against it. AJl that can properly be questioned or criticised is such investment by anyone who is fh - official | position to raise silver values through a| new monetary policy, or Who uses undue pressuré on such officials, or resorts to. im- proper publicity to influence public opinion in that direction, At the same time, it is 4 “not going to make themselves popular. Pa If, silver values. are jumped through ‘government revaluation or inereased coin- | age, there will probably be 4 law enacted against future hoarding é6f Fatticnt oY coins, | as was done with gold. LESS HURTFUL STRIKES One of the unusual features about the recent epidemic of labor strikes has been | the absence of strike-breakers. Hardly | anywhere have they been’ used. When strikes have been called, in nearly every case the plants have been closed down quietly and immediately. Employers and employees have seemed to assume, on the whole, that the issues at stake would be fought out peacefully, and 30 they have been. Thus reason has been substituted for violence, and in an atmosphere of reason it has been easier than usual to work out ac- The night at the Robert J. lay was lari was furni KRY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY;.

They have interfered far less with industrial recovery than was feared when the first big strike |i started in the motor industry. C This fortunate situation comes partly frém the government machinery set up for labor adjustments, but perhaps to a larger extent from a new spirit of tolerance and accommodation among employers and em- ployees, ‘ This situation will probably continue, and recovery will proceed, as long as the organizations and spokesmen refrain from acting high-and-mighty. It is arrogance, on one side or the other, or on both sides, that makes bad strikes. The rank and file of both capitalists and workers today seem less high-and-mighty, with more feeling of social responsibility. “4 LIGHT EXCURSION "" ‘ oe ms oe Prof. Auguste Piéeard, the strato- sphering balloonist, who showed the world how to rise higher from ‘the earth than anyone before him had done, now proposes a trip to the moon on rays of light. It sounds like a poetical flight of fancy, or a romance by Jules Verne or H. G.Wells, or the humorous tale of Rostand’s swash- buckling hero, Cyrano de Bergerac, in his own book, written a couple of centuries ago. But the eccentric professor says he isn’t funny, poetical or cfazy. He has given up rockets, because they take too much ammunition for interplanetary travel But the utilization of light for the purpose | is ‘mathematically possible.” That is, a mathematician could figure it out. i Ordinary matters is capable of being | changed into light waves or particles, as j physical scientists have proved, traveling 186,000 miles a second. There is enough power in 100 pounds of lead, he figures, for a round-trip from the earth not merely | to the moon, but to Mercury. All you have tt to do is to “dematerialize” the lead and harness it to a space-ship. He doesn't tell how he will do that.
