People who enjoy rest should wor- ship work; without labor there can be no recreation, The modern test of statesmanship is the ability to devise a new and compara- tively painless tax.

Rockefeller was probably the most hated man in America. That the methods employed by him in building up his great fortune were often ruthless and against the public interest in those days can hardly be denied. But now at the age of 96, this same man finds himself beloved almost as cor- dially as he was formerly hated. In the meantime he has given away more than five hundred and fifty million dollars for the benefit of mankind. His benefactions touch the health and life of every person in the civilized world, and mai - who are still in a semi-savage state. Largely through his gifts in aid of scientific research, yellow fever, which annually took its toll of thousands, has been practically banished from the earth. In a recent year only three cases were re- ported in both North and South America. Likewise hookworm, typhoid fever, diph- theria, malaria, small pox, leprosy and other diseases have been wholly or par- tially conquered through the millions poured into the Rockfeller Institute for Medical Research and the. Rockefeller Foundation. T.gsiasuT | Many other millions have | ‘bée' ede voted to the cause of education, thi ty-one million dollars having been giverr>:tor* the, University of Chicago alone, aiid *gitis for} all these worthy purposes PTS Aging con- tinued from year to year. Thus, through a series of benefactions without a parallel in the history of the world, John D. Rockefeller has been trans- formed in public estimation from a devil of the past to a saint of the present. WATCH THE “COMMON COLD” Most citizens of Key West look upon the common head cold as an inconvenient but not a costly or dangerous ailment. Dr. Lloyd Arnold, cf the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois, says that these afflictions will cost the Amer- ican people $100.000,000 between now and Easter and cause eighty thousand more deaths than for any other six months of the year. He estimates that two million wage earners will be sick from colds, or sinus infections, sore throat, influenza and pneumonia that follow or begin as head colds. They will lose on the average eigh: days from work. - Readirg of this estimate should cause the average person to be more careful and, by avoiding exposure, prevent colds. They should also emphasize the danger that lurks in the common cold, neglected by } , the patient. the racketeers it would not be necessary |: Another weakness of. our distribution |. FATHER DAMIEN’S RETURN (Miami Daily News) Robert Louis Stevenson, long ago familiarized the werld with the martyrdom of Father Damien among the lepers of the Hawaiian islands. With the decision gf church authorities to bring the re- mains of the priest back to his native Belgium this month there if renewed interest JH ”* that ‘Heroic story. Wen he died 46 years agey his.\ish, that he be buvied on the island of Molokai, to whése on fading memory in the islands now, but in ope he has become a national hero. It/i8’ for these reasons that the present action is taken! "thdse re- sponsible for it are sure that, this half century later, he would agree. Father Damien volunteered as a young man for the mi nary post on Molokai. Friends warned in vain that he was risking almost certain death from the disease. They were right. Science then knew no control of leprosy; for one who con- He was permanently Sinee lepers, he ministered, was respected:*!*Hfe4 tracted it there was no hope. exiled, moreover. from the rest of society. Biblical times, the leper had been That stigma had dimin- shunned in horror as one “unclean.” ished little. Nevertheless, Father Damien went. AS best he could, he eased the physical suffering of the lepers and made their living conditions more com- fortable. But for many, the mental pain of their lot was not less acute; to such as these, he brought also cheer, faith and hope. Eventually he, him+ self,-contracted the disease. He lingered- five years before it claimed his life, but never, mean- while, did he relax his labors. 4 Science since has discovered how to check The chaulmoogra oj] and other treat- ments make it possible for one, in which, the dis- ease has not advanced too far to return to society, cured. That has been done in many cases without the patient himself suffering further or transmit- ting the disease. The sacrifice of Father Damien should ‘inspire continued research, as doubtless in leprosy. the past it has already done. toward a still more conclusive conquest, KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Heppenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files OF The Citison | Station Abilene Atlanta Twelve planes of the scouting oe plane squadron flew over the city} i 5 at 1:30 this p. m., the advance of; Buffalo -.. a group of 23 due to arrive today.; Charleston [The planes are enroute to Guan-!
