Even official Washington was surprised at the calmness with which the nation as a whole received the news. vt According te returning travelers who have visited the Florida State Exhibition in New York, Key West is treated like a step- child. It is represented only by a faint dot on the map of the state hung on the wall. Once the largest city in-Florida and still the most interesting, the island city, a veritable gem in the ocean, evidently must be seen to be appreciated. bebe eeeeeare Trading,in Key West is the best wa to build up business here, but the prob- em cannot be solved by uyer who goes elsewhere to purchase urthermore, the bus-ness of the local mer- chants will continue to decline unless thcy wake up and advertise their wares con- stantly not spasmodically as at the present time. The buying of advertising space must be considered as an investment and not «s an expenditure. Lees atteariee denouncing a| HAS DRINKING DECREASED? Sixteen years ago the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitu- tion, the Prohibition Amendment, became effective. It was repealed on December 5, 1933, largely by reason of argument that drinking would decrease and _ viola- tions of law be reduced. The facts seem to raise some doubt as to whether or not drinking has decreased: Before national prohibition: « there « -werée 177,790 saloons whereas it ish, ejtimated | that now there are more than ‘200, 000 re- beer $ ahd light wines are sold in restaurants, + -groceries, drug stores and other places. Deaths and accidents due to drinking drivers and pedestrians have reached a high point. Dr. Theron W. Kilmer, police surgeon, of Hempstead, New York, read a paper before the New York police chiefs in which he showed that the number of drink- ing drivers in 1934 increased over the figures of 1933 eleven times more than the number of cars. Alcohol is preventing more people from getting life insurance than during prohibition. The Northwestern Life Insur- ance Company reports an increase of 149 per cent of alcoholic indulgence as a cause of rejection among men and women under thirty years of age. Applications in the spring of 1935 showed an increase of seventy-four per cent in the proportion of applicants using alcohol as compared with the same period of 1932. It was rather surprising recently te read that more prisoners are in Federal ; prisons today for violating liquor laws ihan during prohibition. Distilled spirits released from bond rose from around six million gallons during the last year of pro- hibition. Distilled spirits released from tail outlets; in addition, ; bond rose from around six million gallons during the last year of prohibition to rarly 82.500,000 gallons in 1935. The National Civie Federation last year told the Senate Finance Committee that illegal selling was depriving federal and state governments of $300,000,000 in collectible revenue. Nor has the repeal of prohibition re duced the amount of drinking by women. Police » cords for Washington show that there were 986 arrests of women adults for intoxication during the last dry year as against 1,525 such arrests for the wet year ending June 30, 1935. Arrests of women between the ages of seventeen and twenty- one, while few in number, show a similar increase. The manufacturers of alcoholic bev- erages have not demonstrated themselves to be interested in temperance. as many predicted prior to repeal. At the conven: tion of the United States Brewers Associa- tion in October a woman home economics editor gave the trade suggestions on how to increase the sale of beer. She urged them not to overlook the younger set, say- ing, “It is the teaching you do now for our younger generation that is going to help you increase the percentage of beer con- sumed by women.” THE DESTRUCTIVE RAT Public health authorities estimate thai the actual loss caused by rats in the United States amounts to $400,000,000 a year, of which about one-half is in foodstuffs and the rest in the destruction of other prop- erty. The number of rats engaged in these depredations is estimated at 120,000,000, or about equal to the country’s human pop- ulation. Besides the destructiveness of the rat is its constant menace to health through the transmission of disease, especially bubonic plague, which is spread entirely by fleas which infest infected rats. While the disease has been held in check in coun- tries employing preventive m bonic plague killed more than 11, 000: 00 people in India during a 20-year perio “The Public Health Service declares that if the extraordinarily prolific breed- ing of rats were not partially controlled by natural enemies, disease and the canni- balistic tendencies of the animal itself, they would soon overrun the world and ex- terminate man by depriving him of his sources of food. Like many other ever-present menaces to property and health, the rat appears to be taken for granted, and seldom, is any concerted effort made with a view to its extermination. ‘y ict ep alata THE KEY WEST CITIZEN TODAY’S WEATHER Lowest Highest last night last 24 hours j night; Wednesday clo’ , follow- ed by rain in afternéon or at night; rising temperature Wed- Station Abilene Atlanta .
