IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. Bridges to complete Road to Main- land. “re Port. Hotels and Aparcments, Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments, Credit here in Key West is the ex- planation of more than half of the pur- chases made. Anyway, Eve never taunted Adam about the number of men who had_ pro- posed to her. Sir Richard Paget declared that hu- man speech is still in a very primitive con- dition. A, good many married men _ will disagree. A North Carolina newspaper tells of a sailor who was killed “by coming in ¢ tact with a live wife.” Possibly a typo- graphical error, yet such things have hap- pened. »w that the Senate committee is satisfied that John P. Morgan didn’t cause the last war it might be pertinent to ask what the boys are going to do about the next one. With the resignation of H. S. Cum- ming, surgeon-general, we have still with us, H. S. Cunminyg:;, attorney-general. But for the sigmatism, the names would be just alike. Another merchant will soon go out of business here in Key West. He was one of those who thought he could compete with his competitors who advertised, and failed to invite the public to his place of business. The power companies did not put up much of a struggle to have the TVA out- lawed, evidently thinking it would go the way of the NRA and the AAA and verify- ing the saying that all good things come in three’s, but this time the prognostication went awry. Candidates other than for the United States senate or house of representatives when their aspirations are achieved can- not vote for the Townsend Plan or do very much about it, so what reason can they have to incorporate this item in their plat- form but as a lure “ad captandum_ vul- gus.” Whenever there “danger of the lisurpation of power by any individual in high places, we should*tesolve to do all that is possible for the fulfillment of Lin- coln’s most profound desire that a “Gov- ernment of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Two thoughts of moment are before the American people at the present time: Where will the bonus money come from, and after it has arrived where will it go? Every business man is speculating how There is so much of it, that everybody in every walk of life will benefit to some de- gree. After the deluge of dollars comes the day of reckoning. much of the billions will come his way. | community think the better and the more “I KNOW YOU AND YOU KNOW (ME” The above might be a good slogan for the business people of Key West to have in small type some where in every ad. On cards about the store and in the store win- dow it would be wholesomely suggestive. The business man you know and who knows you would not be so foolish even if he were dishonest enough to do what cured one man of buying from mail order houses whose managers he didn’t know and who | would probably high-hat him if they met on the street. This former mail-order buyer ordered what appeared to be a fine, colorful, all wool lumber-jack. He looked forward eagerly to its arrival. He thought how proud he would be to wear it in the pres- ence of his fellow workers. When the package finally arrived and he opened it his spirits drooped. They sent a substitute—a drab dirty gray af- fair. But—here is what incensed him and cured him of reading “bargain” catalogs. A note accompanying the garment said, “We were out of the $3.98 coat which you ordered but rather than disappoint you we are sending your size in our number so and so. This fine garment is from our $6.00 stock.” Now had the purchaser known ‘the substituting tactics of this house he would not have ordered. Had the house known this customer and his experience with woolen goods they would not have tried to slip one of their lower grade _ long-profit garments over on him as though it were a higher grade one. The local merchant who knows you and whom you know would have better sense than to wilfully sell inferior goods at a long profit. His number of customers is limited. The next time he meets you he wants you to feel right toward him. But since you know him _ personally you know he wouldn’t resort to such tactics—even if he could “get away with WAR REPORTS CONFLICT The present warfare in Ethiopia is rather difficult to follow with certainty. The official statements of the two nations involycd, Italy and Ethiopia, are very con- tradictory at times and leaves much to be desired from a standpoint of frankness. Thi. is nothing new in warfare. The readi. g public experienced the same doubt and uncertainty during the World War at many stages as the communiques of the various governments claimed too much, de- nied reports of their adversaries and some- times omitted reference to important events. So it is to one trying to follow the military campaign in Ethiopia. Recently, both sides claimed decided advantages in the northern sector, in the Tembien re- gion. The Italians got to the press with the first report of an offensive which they undertook to forestall an Ethiopian attack, claiming that they killed 20,000 soldiers of the Emperor with a loss of only 743 for themselves. The Ethiopian leaders claimed to have regained the initiative, to have routed superior forces, killing 8,000 Italians against only 1,100 of their own soldiers, specifically claiming the capture of thirty- three field guns, seventy-five machine guns, 2,600 rifles and eighteen tanks. All of which suggests that reports of military operations by belligerents should be taken with several grains of the pro- verbial salt. READING PROVOKES THINKING Among the 1936 resolutiorfs that you probably forgot to make ought to have been one that you would read a sensible book, on a sensible subject, at least every month. When a man or woman takes a year to write a book on any subject, those in- terested in the topic ought to be able to stand the work for several hours, without brainfag. There are entirely too many people in Key West who take it for granted that they can learn everything that is worth knowing from current comment related by gossipping friends. Thinking is what makes men amount to something. The more the people of a prosperous that community is. You needn’t ask us to prove that statement. We haven't the time and doubt if we have the brains, but it is the truth, all the same. | West ” said Hugh Bancroft, edi- KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years!
