F.>Corsolidation of County and City Governments, Each day The Citizen greets the sun- shine with delight. It wouldn’t be so bad if women only wanted the last word; the trouble is she wants about 99 per cent of the preceding as well. If the office of the county judge does not function soon, there may be unions without license and of course without bene- fit of clergy. The citizens of any community have the right and privilege, in fact, the duty | to criticise both the public as well as the} private life of its officials. A merchant who does vt replace in| stock on his shelves will soon be on the shelf himself."Judicious advertising in The | Citizen will move that stock. One of the most expensive hobbies is to run a new 'paper as such. When ihe; source of the money supply is exhausted, the hobby wobbles and finally peters ont. Gerardo Machado, former president | of Cuba who is a politica! exile and fugi- tive from a murder charge, is now in Ber- muda. When he boarded the ship at La Rochelle, France, he gavc Nassau as_ his destination, He is slowly edging toward CubaYahd ‘awaiting developments. Least g 1ilty of mistakes in pronuncia tion over the air. is Lowell Thomas, but he, too, slips up oteasionally. Yesterday he referred to the deposed president of Para- guay as “Alaya” whereas it is Ayala. The word “Alaya” sounds like something else, and may evoke the retort. “You're another.” Death of County Judge Hugh Gunn of Key West at the age of 75 recalls the fact that he was one of the few men who occupied a judicial position in Florida and yet was not a lawyer. Broward county also provided an exception to the rule that all judges are lawyers, but Judge Gunn had been returned to that office, term after term, without opposition. He had been a resident of Key West since the War Between the States—Miami Daily News. | The TVA decision of the supreme court gave all liberty-loving citizens of the | United States a scare because it was thought that it gave the government the authority to engage in any business ven ture it had a mind to, but now it is seen that the license covers only the Wilson dam, which was created as a war measure. | The government may sell surplus power in} order to protect the inyestment but in that region only. Since the emergency may arise again it is obviously wise for the ! government to preserve the dam andj plant, { uring our neighbors. WHY WOMEN BUY It is well known by all live merchants, and by husbands as well, that practically all buying for the home is either actually done by women or directed by them. For this reason the merchant’s greatest prob- lem is to attract the favorable attention of women to his wares. Women are alert to grasp opportuni- ties to secure merchandise at a _ bargain and they are more discriminating buyers than men, as a rule. They geag-advertise- ments and act upon the information ob- ; tained thereby. In order to determine just what ad- vertising mediums have the greatest in- fluence on women’s buying, a recent sur- vey made by a Los Angeles advertising club developed some interesting facts. Re- plies from 1,000 women of all classes were obtained in answer to a questionnaire list- ing the various advertising mediums and asking what form of advertising fluenced them most. Newspapers were credited with most influence by 36 per cent of these women, magazine advertisements 22 per cent, street car advertising by less than 4 pei cent, while booklets, pamphlets and_ cir- cular letters influenced less than 2 per cent. Thus again is demonstrated what every wide-awake merchant must have al- ready observed—that newspaper adver- tising is the most potent medium for reach- ing women buyers. And this applies with equal force to men buyers, too. in- MURDER RATES According to a report recently given out, the city of Quebec, with a population of approximately 100,000 was the scene of only one murder in a whole year. In the United States there are on an average approximately 10 murders each year out of each 100,000 of population while in the cities of Memphis, Jackson- ville and Birmingham the annual rate dur- ing the past 10 years has averaged nearly 60 murders per 100,000 or 60 times that of Quebec. In spite of the earnest efforts of so- ciologists and publicists to determine the cause and suggest a remedy for the de- plorable crime situation, no appreciable headway has been made in that direction. Attempts to explain crime as an after- math of the war fall flat when it is con- sidered that the homicide rate in England, Canada, Austria, South Africa, New Zea- land and other English-speaking countries averages only about one-tenth that of the United States, yet all these were in the war! from beginning to end and suffered from its effects in every way immeasurably more than we did. It is declared by a recent writer that only one murderer out of 160 is executed in New York, while 70 out of 100 are hanged in London. This may have some- thing to do with our high murder rate. JUDGING OTHERS It is trite to say that in judging the character and motives of another person we should try to imagine ourselves in his place. But how many of us do it? How many of us make a conscious and deter- mined effort to be fair in our estimate of the other fellow? An unknown author has_ set some thoughts in this connection are worth repeating, as follows: “When the other fellow acts that way, he is ugly; when you do it, it is nerves. “When the other fellow is set in his way, he’s obstinate; when you are, it's firmness. “When the other fellow treats some- one especially well, he is toadying; when you do it, it’s tact. “When the other fellow takes his time, he is dead slow; when-you do, you are deliberate. ‘ “When the other fellow picks a flaw, he’s cranky; when you do,-you--are_ dis- criminating. rt “When the other fellow says what he thinks, he is spiteful; when you do, y are frank,” and so on. It is really hard to apply to ourselves the same yardstick which we use in meas- But we ought to try forth which to do it. An exchange says that by keeping filled with bran, sour milk, carrots, spinach, and other junk recommended by the health faddists you will have no fear of death. In fact, you will welcome it.

One of the chief con- tributions of the Research Department in the development of A LIGHT SMOKE is the private Lucky Strike process, “IT’S TOASTED.” This preheating process at higher temperatures consists of four main 3 stages, which involve carefully controlled temperature gradations. Quantities of unde- sirable constituents are removed. In effect, then, this method of preheating at higher temperatures constitutes a completion or ful- fillment of the curing and aging processes. 2 = 2 euance : (evexy—srerxe jj BRAND © RAND SRAND © —“ITS TOASTED” Your throat protection — against irritation against cough
