IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. Bridges to complete Road to Main- land. Free Port. Hotels and Aparcments, Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments, Get thee behind me, Satan; dead this parade. Jealousy is the feriority; it also contains lousy.

Not the civilization of Ethiopia but the gold that is in “them thar hills” is the greedy objectiye to which the dictator of Italy aspires. We prefer to look upon the Chief Executive’s radio speech as that of Can- didate Roosevelt rather than that of Presi- dent Roosevelt. In the enue s room of the Smith- sonian Institute, at Washington, may be seen the Lord’s Prayer engraved within the space of a needle’s eye. It is the finesse of the engrave rankfurter, professor of law at Harvard, is close to the ear of the ad- inistration. Perhaps he suggested the baloney dollars, which is consistent, com, ing from a Frankfurter. The sensitive Japs should be reas- sured there was no thought of humiliating the Mikado in naming the airplane the “China Clipper.” This reassurance should be Musick in Nipponese ears. If tax dodgers were put in jail as it is done in some countries our jails would be overcrowded, said a tax paying citizen of Key West this week. But he was countered with the statement that if tax dodgers were threatened with domicile in the hoosegow for not paying their obligations, there would be very few tax delinquents. It is surprising how effectively the fear of punishment would put a stop to tax dodg- ing. A “Re At Birth” plan has been ad- vanced as a substitute for Dr. Townsend's. Under it, each new born babe would get a $20,000 promissory note. Until he was 20 and could claim. the money, his parents would get 3 per cent interest, or $50 a}| month. Thus, a couple could marry at 20, have $40,000 capital and get $200 a month from the government in addition by raising four children. Then nobody would have! to work. In his annual message before a joint session of . ngress President Roosevelt lets Mussolini understand how this country feels about his treatment of Ethiopia. By inference he charges Il Duce with the failure to appeal to the finer instincts of world justice and the revision to the old law of the sword, and with failure to ex- ercise the patience necessary to attain | reasonable and legitimate objectives by | paceful negotiations, | ROOM AT THE TOP The ambitious youth who wants to reach the top should ponder the ten quali- fications listed by Dr. Walter B. Pitkin, as follows: 1. Health. High energy. Persistence. Thoroughness. . High technical training. 6. Social sense the ability to get along well with people. 7. Self-knowledge, and standing. 8. Adaptability. 9, Willingness to work for a long time at’ jobs requiring less than one’s best abilities. . 10. A knowledge of local affairs and wide acquaintanceship with local peo- ple. self-under- Continuing Dr. Pitkin says: It’s im- portant, even though not pleasant, to know that, in terms of mere numbers alone, every young worker who has. arrived at working age since 1920 would be super- fluous in our existing economic .system if everybody were to use the latest and best inventions and improvements. We have heard much of the youth problem—and it is a big problem, one that reaches round the world. Gratifying, however, is the in- telligent interest business and professional men are taking not only in counsélling youth but in actively helping them make adjustments.” SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen A striking illustration of how sound traffic engineering saves life and limb is seen on Michigan avenue in Chicago, where a rearrangement of the signal sys- tem caused a drop of 46 per cent in pedes- trian accidents, 27 per cent in all accidents, and 57 per cent in property damage. At the same time traffic was speeded up about 15 per cent. What a woman needs is thus de- scribed in the Ladies’ Home Journal: Un- til the age of 14, good parents; from 14 to 40, good looks; from 40 to 60, personality ; from 60 on—cash. General Hugh S. Johnson, who calls himself a “friendly critic” of the adminis- tration, recently told a Pasadena audience: j “I am going to raise all the hell I can to} patrons of the La Concha get the New Deal back to its original poli- jin the dining room The Democratic program right now We wonder what the “un- cies. is pure Socialism.” General would say if he were an friendly critic.” Australia goes in for the movies in a big way, having more motion picture theaters than any other country, popula- tion considered, or one such theater for every 5,287 persons. The United King- dom has one for every 9,333 persons, while the United States has one for every 10,400. While drifting near Two Harbors, Minn., Allen Brown had a most unusual bit of luck. His car struck and killed an ani- mal which proved to be a beautiful bobcat, weighing 78 pounds, and for whose pelt he was offered $25 by a taxidermist. An odd paragraph in the account of a revival meeting appeared in an Iowa news- paper, which read: “Last night Evange- list Scoville spoke on ‘The Bible Hell’ and Mr. Deloss Smith sang ‘We Will Meet You There.’ ” A fellow who listens to radio advertis- ingballyhoo tells this one: “I bought'a carburetor guaranteed to save 50 per cent on gas, a timer to save 30 per cent, and a spark plug to save another 30 per cent. After going 10 miles my. gasoline tank overflowed.” According to a Mexican newspaper, all the revolutions fought in Latin America during the last hundred years have cost only about 418 million dollars, or about as much as the Allies spent every four days during the World War. Backers of Latin- America revolutions seem to get more for their money than those who finance wars elsewhere.
