Keywestiana: People bringing in news items concerning themselves to be published in The Citizen, but not being subscribers to the paper. How is it that whenever an appropria- tion is made by Congress, the govern- mental agency handling it always speads the entire amount or calls for more? There seems never to be a refund, Several times during the past six years The Citizen stated most emphatically that never in the history of the United States did.the records disclose _ one in- stance where a spite paper ever succeeded ; only those papers can ever hope to be suc- cessful which have an economic reason for their existence. tate inspectors will remove the 1935 license: from automobiles and place a de- linquency tag on them, so those they pass may read. As these supposedly theft- proof tags are nevertheless hard to re- move, automobile owners may wait until the state inspectors call and save the dis- agreeable jeb for them. Every writer thinks that he or she will startle the world ji “just as soon as the new volume is printed; thg age, is that few of the tomes ever ge* printed, An author, who was a recent .yjpjtor, in,,.Key West, tated publicly , that it took, ‘him but three weeks to write a book and t two years to have it published) and thei failed click. The President estimates it will cost $6,- 678,375 for expenses of the treasury in ad- ministering the vonus law, and has asked Congress to appropriate that amount for the purpose. If that job were given te some well organized private agency, a quicker and better service would be rendered. at about half the cost. But, of coursé, the administration is committed to extrav- agance, and must make good. | = ADVERTISING BENEF ITS THE PUBLIC Prior to the advent of the so-called chain grocery store, there was little gen- eral advertising by grocery or drug stores. The people bought potatoes or they bought physic. Volume business with resulting lower prices was not encouraged by pub- licizing the merits of different products in order to increase their sale and use. But when the chain store idea was evolved it was found that advertising. was essential and indispensable in order to move goods and create interest in new pro- ducts. It was not long before the adver- tising policy of chain stores influenced other merchants to reach their customers in the same manner, in an effort to in- crease sales by offering the public house- hold necessities or luxuries in attractive forms and at reasonable prices. The mass distribution idea reacted to the benefit of the buying public and today essentials of life are transferred from pro- ducer to consumer at a price which would have been impossible except for the volume |, consumption created by intelligent adver- tising. Thece savings for the family pocket- book have increased purchasing power for other lines of business. The result has been a greater sale of additional comforts and luxuries which, in turn, involve ad- vertising by many branches of business. AMERICANS ALL An interesting little study in names is ' presented by the list of nine New York public school boys who were awarded Pulitzer four-year scholarships at Colum- bia University, they being chosen from, a field of 90 of the brightest in the me- tropolis. Their names, in the order of the grades made in :1e competitive examinations, are as foilows: Herman Kremer, Schulz, Thomas Jonaitis, Andrew Chiappe, Jerome O'Neill, Fred Tonetti, Hippocrates Apostle, John Morrisroe, and Milton Black. It will appear that German, Greek and Italian names predominate, and in fact only two of the boys were born in the United States. Among their fathers are a cook, a waiter, a construction laborer, milkman and a janitor. But in spite of foreign names and for- eign birth, these boys are now Americans all, with an opportunity to rise to what- ever heights their ability and energy can earry them. THE FLORIDA CANAL News) Florida ship canal While the people of whether they want a are arguing cutting. their peninsula in two and one part of the state says “No!”, the Public Works Administration by author- ity of the President gets busy digging the canal. The estimated cost is between $140,000,000 and $200,000,000. There are several features of this enterpri: new in the history of this country: Congress has appropriated no money for it. . Engineers always hitherto. consulted. on Rivers and Harbors projects have not reported on it. Hearings on the practicability. of the canal have been delayed on petition of its advocates, and reports of Army engineers depending in part on such hearings are in- definitely delayed, Shipping companies, supposed to be benefited by the canal, disapprove of the declaring that if tolls are charged they will not use the canal. Southern Florida strenuously opposes the project fearing disruption of trade and pos- project, sible menace to fresh water supply and con- sequent ruin of fruit growing. In the face of all this opposition, with no positive demand by national or state interests and without the usual preliminary expert and scientific investigation, the project advances. By order of the President alone, $5,000,000 is earmarked and preliminaries, such as building a town for workers and erecting bridges, already are begun. Like the proposed bridge across the Straits of Mackinac, the trans-Florida canal seems to have for its potas supporting argument its rathole-like for absorbing government funds. ator Vandenburg demands a_ special in- vestigation. The Senate should investigate. The people of the United States will be interested to know why so costly an undertaking for which no real demand appears, proceeds with no other justification than the word “Go” from the Presi- dent. }the waves for several days Helmut | .ed upon last night to al. REY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Uappenings Just 10 Years Ago Today Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Alex Knowles was painfully in- jured 5 o'clock yesterday after- noon when a pile of lumber he was working at the South Florida Contracting and Engineering com- pany toppled over. Mr, Knowles fell a distance of about 10 feet, one of his limbs. being broken when it struck a beam. He was also injured in ‘the right leg and head. He is resting easily today at his home, 1008 White street, where it was learned indications are Le will recover rapidly. Rossiter S. Scott, representing the Nicholas H. Hill, Jr., com- pany of New York, addressed the city council last night relative to a sewerage disposal and. water system, Mr. Scott thinks that as‘ vater is here the sewerage is s2- jously considered. Once the wa- ter is here the sewerage will nat- urally follow, he said. Mr. Scott explained that his company had submitted a proposition for the water system to the Monroe coun- y water district board and said his company’s proposal was ac- cepted the matter of the sewer- age system ‘would be discussed with a view to its installation. Aftet being tossed about by the disabled submarine T-3 arrived in port late yesterday afternoon in tow of the U. S. Tug Bayspring. The submarine which is next to the largest in the world in point of- size, though perhaps not the most modern, left Norfolk Jan- uary 26, and encountered storms most of the way. After the vessel is repaired and. made ready for duty it will remain at Key West conducting experiments with Ger- man engines. The cabaret to be staged for the Woman’s Club by Mrs. Lillian ‘onnally at the Athletic Club to- morrow evening, will’ present a number of new and unusual fea-}. tures. = Sheriff Roland Curry was call- arrest (a waiter on one of the yachts berth: ed at the PF. and Q. docks, The man had been drinking excessive- ‘ly and was considered dangerous. uge|- It was found necessary to handeuffs before he could be tak. en to jail. Jack Dempsey, world’s heavy- weight champion, accompanied by Mrs. Dempsey, his trainers and sparring partners, yesterday enroute to Havana. While in that city Dempsey will put on several exhibitions. Ac- cording to present plans the champion will meet Harry Wills on Labor Day. One of the most entertaining meetings of the Key West Wom- an’s Club was held yesterday at the naval station. It was presided over by President Mrs. Wm. Wairen, who announced after the sion that 40 new members were admitted to méimbership.
