If appropriations are really cut to the bone the bureaucrats will fight for the bone. Toscanini, the eminent conductor, doesn't care for national anthems. Per- haps he has tried to sing ours. We read of a hen that laid an egg every day for 44 weeks. Which proves the existence of a good layer or a good liar. A critic refers to a well-known crooner as “a medieval minstrel born five centuries too late for beheading.” More's the pity. A statistician says marriages are most likely to go on the rocks between the fifth and tenth year. Provided, of,course, that they last that long. According to the reception by news- paper men and photographers accorded the Lindberghs upon their arfival in Eng- land, their efforts to evade publicity was like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. When you lose a sum of money, you have one chance of finding it and that is if an honest person is the finder. So many, however, who are not downright crooks, smother the still small voice with “Finders are keepers.” The citizens of Key West are highly appreciative of the interest Cuba’s officials and civil organizations are taking in our efforts to have that portion 1 ie railroad restored which was destroyed during the September hurricatteS*"""F Pretty Key West, Where if never fro:ts and the southernmost city ingthe United States, will make tourists welcome this season. The Island City has a Hospitality League and the League has a handsome home where all tourists are made welcome when they sign up there. They are given information about the fishing and various sports the city affords and are invited to attend many functions and other events in order to make their stay the city pleasant. The Hospitality League has been functioning for some time and is a fine asset t» Key West.—Times-Union. in MUCHAS GRACIAS Key West can appreciate the saying that, “A prophet is not without honor save in his own country and in his own house.” For, while we wait, our resources dwind- ling all the while, for a word of en- couragement from our own government, assuring us of the restoration of railroad communication with the mainland, our sis- ter Republic, Cuba, leaves no stone un- turned in its efforts to bring about our restoration to prosperity. Many and strong are the ties that link the history and the destinies of Key West ; and Cuba. Through all the tumult of political up- heavals, Cuba has never forgotten the days when men plarined for “Cuba Libre,” at the risk of their lives, and when hard- pressed patriots never failed to find asylum; aid and assistance and, if neces- sary, concealment beyond the reach of Spanish authority if they could but reach the Island City. And more than aid, assistance and concealment awaited them here. Such ac- | tive cooperation met them that the eld San Carlos Club was known from end to end of | Cuba as “The Cradle of Cuban Liberty,” and was revered almost as a shrine by those cognizant of the activities that went on within its walls. Many a patriot went forth from there to die in the cause of free- dom, More than once, San Carlos was the de facto capital of Cuba Libre, from which men like the patriot, José Marti, and his gallant followers set out upon missions fraught with peril. And, remembering all this, Cuba throws her full weight, on our behalf, in- to the wavering scales of Key West des- tiny. The latest evidence, one -instance of many, that Cuba's vigilance in recognizing our community of interests is unsleeping, has come to us in the letter from Sr. Pedro Moran. This letter was printed in full in The Citizen of Jan. 1 and sets forth the vital importance of the restoration of rail- road service between Key West and the mainland, to the social and business rela- tions between the two republics so closely linked by all the ties of international re- lationship. The letter, addressed“to U. S. Judge, Louis Strum, is a generous fulfillment of a promise made to a committee’composed of Attorney Wm. H. Malone, Carl Bervaldi and Enrique Esquinaldo, Sr., who spent several days in Havana, meeting with the President and with representatives of Ha- vana business organizations. The letter deals in no uncertain terms with the lack of ethics in the petition for the proposed abandonment, and makes a point of the temporary nature of the pres- ent economic situation, which alone gives color to a defeatist policy. For this letter, and for many like demonstrations of remembrance that has come from Cuba; Key West, now in her turn grimly enduring her hour of travail, i grateful. The ties that bind us. each to ing other, have been strengthened and whe Key West has healed the wounds that Destiny now inflicts upon her and stands forth in all the strength and beauty that is her rightful heritage, she will never be found lacking when her sister, Cuba, stands in need. 25,000 SLICES OF BRAIN The news comes from Moscow that the brain of Nikolai Lenin, father of Com- munism, has been divided into about twenty-five thousand microscopic _ slices for study by scientists interested in making a “brain atlas” for educational and scien- tific purposes. Very few of us ever give thought to the marvelous working of the human brain and most of us go through life without making much effort to use our mental re- cources. Education, considered as . brain training, adds tremendously to the effi- ciency, value and pleasure of any~ in- dividual and there is no telling how much progress the world could make if all of us would undertake to systematically de- velop and methodically use the latent powers in our brains. The study of the brain of Lenin, and other brain specimens now under way, may or may not produce startling discoveries. At the same time, a news item, of this kind does call attention to the fact that human being are possessed with brain power, whether they use it or not. | Atlanta .
