The people of Key West should not ismiss the Rotary Club or any other group , from their minds with the curt thought that they represent only an association of eating men. There is much more to the club idea than this. True enough, the meal hour is taken as the time for busy men to get to-: j gether and enjoy the company of other ‘One Month Weekly -...

Let’s hope there are as good cigars in Heaven as there are in Key West, for Kipling’s sake. In an advertisement in The Citizen by a Key Wester there is a simple but definite profession of faith which none should falter to make: “I believe in Key West and I will stick to Key West.” The way to stop automobile accident | deaths is to stop accidents; the way to dr this is to punish those guilty of careles. operatién of motor vehicles, not after the accideit but always as a natural pre- caution. A pusitess looks much healthier to the stockholders if it pay: a small dividend every year, rather than a larger one after several barren years. Mo:t corporations pay quarterly dividends, if they cau pay any dividends at all, and that holds the common touch. Sixty-two per centum of the people, according to the Literary Digest poll, don’t like the New Deal; so they are call- ing for a new stack of cards and another deal. Perhaps it is best to be satisfied with the present deal, another might de- velop a raw deal. Mr. Ickes apologized to Hoover for an untruthful statement that during — his presidency he signed several unconstitu- tional bills. It developed that Mr. Ickes found he was wrong, but countered that Hoover did nothing while in office and “doing nothing is never unconstitutional.” A chap came to The Citizen office this week and declared that things were not so well with him and that he had to make some money for himself. He thought a flyer in the stock market would be just the thing. Quite right, old top; the stock market is the right place to make money—for the other fellow. solemnly The editor of the Sunday Star, a new- comer, thinks Key West is such a beautiful place in which to dwell that the landlord, is due a bonus, or if a landlord one would be eager to pay his tax Unfortunately, the condition is, that many renters are dilatory in paying their rents, and some landlords are lax in paying their tax. men. Through regular association the members widen the circle of their friends, which, standing alone, is worth what the clubs cost. More than formation of friendship, however, attends such group associations. Gradually comes the consciousness of other duties to be performed in life, — in- cluding an appreciation of civic obliga- tions and the contribution that each in- dividual must make, through personal ap- plication, to the great problems that sur- round any growing municipality. There is a broader understanding of human problems and the growth of toler- ance through mutual esteem. The clubs work, almost miraculously, to create good feeling, and friendly co-operative effort for common goals. This is not the labored act of directed puppets but the genuine ex- pression of a feeling of brotherhood that is dormant in so many human beings. Here then, we believe, is an avenue for progress, a vehicle for personal ad- vance and the power for moving a com- munity along the right direction. ABOUT INSANITY In a bulletin of the National Commit- tee for Mental Hygiene some enlightening information concerning insanity is given, which is not only interesting, but valuable. It mentions a great many false notions held by the public regarding mental disorders, and gives instead of these the results of scientific research. Some of the things science teaches to- day concerning insanity are these: Insanity develops gradually; it is no more to be ashamed of than pneumonia or a broken leg; it is a disease and should have medical treatment; between 24 and 40 per cent of those treated are discharged recovered or improved. Shock of misfor- tune or grief may precipitate insanity, but does not cause it unless mental disorder al- is there are usually symptoms which if recognized early may enable phy- icians to check the malady; there are many kinds of mental disorder, just as there are many kinds of physical ailments; “nervous breakdown” is really a mental condition in which there is rarely anything organically wrong with the nervous sys- tem. In olden times an insane person was supposed to be possessed of a devil, and the poor wretch was often tortured to exorcise the evil spirit. Now we know that a crazy person is simply sick mentally and needs intelligent and humane treatment. Furthermore, insanity is more or less comparative. times. OUR CHANGING BODIES If you weigh yourself today, and then weigh yourself three weeks from now, your weight will probably show little change. But. according to Dr. Adolph. of the University of Rochester, at least 93 per cent of the real substance of your body will have been changed in the meantime. For, he asserts, the water content of a human body changes every 21 days, on an average, and the body is 93 per cent water. He also figures that the nitrogen of the body, which is the chief element in the chemical composition of muscle, is re- newed every 290 days, while the iron com- ponent is changéd in a_ slightly longer period. It used to be thought that the actual substance of one’s body was completely changed about every seven years, but Dr. Adolph’s researches indicate that the time of renewal is much less than that. So, when you look in your mirror you may see what appears to be the same ob- ject you saw there a year or two before. But the real substance wi!l be almost en- tirely different, and the change will gen- erally be for the worse rather than for the better. Most of us are a little off at!

At that time we were very much impressed with the old world quaintness, and the sincere hospitality of this little “Island City.” We also had the opportunity, at that time, to go deep sea fishing with the De- meritt boys and their father, and on this our second visit to Key West, as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thompson, we find that We are more impressed than be- fore. The same fine hospitality still exists, the same old world charm is still here, and the De- meritt boys are still the finest of fishermen, Four members of the Detroit Fire Dept. are with us at this time, namely; Vincent String- weld, Russell J. Vallier. Paul P. Karabes and Joseph E. Baylin. We all wish to express our sin- cere thanks to the citizens of Key West, who have made our visit such a happy one. We have en- joyed every minute of our stay here, and we will always eagerly look forward to the time when we may again return, to this, “Tropi- cal Wonderland.” MR. AND MRS. J. W.
