Hence this expen- sive boondoggling until the storm blows over. The merchants and business men of Key West are the most liberal in the way of granting credit to be found anywhere. In fact the liberality in this respect often goes beyond good business acumen = as many creditors have found out to their dis- may. Sometimes the credit is extended to ‘keep the tirade from being diverted to a competitor, oftener it is given in the spirit | of good neighborliness. But there must be eventually a halt to the latitude al- lowed and when that times arrives it generally too late to protect the credits} and life-long enmities ensue is On the very day the wife of Huey Long was draped with the natorial toga, one of the dead senator's dictatorial laws was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court of the United States. When the newspapers of Louisiana were exercis- ing their constitutional eights of the free-; dom, of the press, in criticising him, the | former czar of the Bayou state, in his de- sire to avenge himself, had a 2c tax im-| posed on them.

And even if their predictions are not veri- fied, they will doubtless offer some sort of alibi :.r that venerable forecaster. Then about March 21 these folks will watch for the wich is supposed to occur about the time when the sun “crosses the line.” Of course, no one with any knowledge of meteorology pays any attention to either of these ancient superstitions. but in the popular mind they cling with grim tena- city. Owing to the erratic habits of the weather, any kind of prediction will come but scientific observers same “equinoctial storm,” true occasionally, tell us that in the present state of human knowledge it is impossible to predict wea- ther conditions more than a very few days ahead. From the records of the last 50 years, kept by the United States Weather Bureau, it is shown that storms are no more fre- quent during equinoctial periods than at other times of the year. In fact, the most destructive of all storms—western _ tor- nadoes and West Indian hurricane—occur principally in the summer and _ fall, at periods farthest removed from the equi- noxes.

Miss Bunnie Niles with 82,750 votes has a comfortable lead over her next opponent, Miss Jane Thompson, with 44,950 votes, in the contest for the most popular young woman in Key West which 1s being put on in connection with the fiermen’s carnival, There are eight other contestants in the race and who knows, say those in charge what changes may be seen before the last day of the contest, February 27.

Undoubtedly, lawyers have played a predominant role in the “governments” of the United States, including in that term state as well as federal organizations. They have contributed valuable services in many efforts to safeguard, and _ protect liberty. At the same time, it should be readily recognized, even by the lawyers themselves, that they have also been use-| ful to those interested in stamping out some expressions of of liberty. Time was, and undoubtedly will be, when the people of the United States will look to the Bar for leadership in matters affecting their liberty. Today, however, the general public has no such idea. It re- gards with suspicion many of the devices of the law and wonders why lawyers seem, to be unable to clean out the shysters whose reprehensible practices blot the theoretical purity of the pages of justice. tional rights. ividual in the United States is Editorial comment: It is all owing to who does the knocking.

They include preliminary analyses of the tobacco selected; use of center leaves; the higher heat treatment of tobacco (“Toasting”); consideration of acid-alkaline balance, with consequent definite improvement im flavor; and controlled uniformity in the finished product.
