Half of the people of Europe are goose-stepping along with hands raised in adoration of the mysterious God of the State. Crooks, as a rule, have personalities which they utilize to put over their nefarious schemes. That is why so many suckers fall for their bland- ishments, and get stung. charming Treasurer W. L. Bates, Rotarian, be- ing ill could not attend the last meeting of the local Rotary club, so the club went to him. This was done to keep intact the continuity of twenty years without ab- sence. That is a record of which he may be justly proud. Sugar is composed of the same chemi- cal elements as carbolic acid; they both contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The difference is in the arrangement of the chemical elements and their combinations. Let's trust that the sugarman will never get his chemicals mixed. Repeating the advice that we have of- fered so many years, we take this occasion to remind our readers that the hunting season will soon come around. This means that a number of men will be shot and killed because a companion’s trigger fing moves faster than his brain, fANy | The Citizen has said several only be privileged to go would be much better satisfied with his lot in this country. In Europe most of our necessities are still luxuries over there. And conditions have constantly improved since 1879. The wages of 1936 are twelve times those of 57 years ago; the workers’ purchasing power has increased 75 per cent, and the weekly working hours have been reduced from 60 to 48. The Amer- ican way is the better way. The Citizen has been queried with a degree of vehemence during the past few days why the bids for the construction of the bridges are to be let in Miami and not in Key West, which is the headquarters of} the Overreas Road and Toll Bridge Dis- trict. If the inaccessibility of Key West is cited as the cause, then that excuse can- not apply to either Tallahassee or Jack- sonville, which are certainly not as_ in- accessible as is Miami at the foot of the peninsula of Florida. If there were no Key West the need of a completed high- way would not exist, and there is jus- tifiable reason why the island city should be the beneficiary of the contemplated construction to the fullest extent. The project is a relief measure for Key West solely and was created so that some day we can stand on our own feet. tinies } that if every American workman would! to Europe he} )is« { would not advise anyone to take a cold | shower.” LIGHT AND HEALTH Electric lights of the future will be health-giving as well as light-giving, de- clares an engineering publication. It is well known that quartz mercury lamps which radiate the beneficial ultra-violet rays have been used by physicians for some time. But these have required ex- pert and careful handling. Now, it appears, lamps giving off!i these healthful rays have been developed for use in general lighting, thus perform- |” ing a double duty. In fact, such lamps are already available, but so far their use hag j been restricted principally to home treat- ment of diseases in which sunlight or its equivalent is necessary. When the new lamps are adopted for general use, as it is believed they event- ually will be, it is expected that they will be of immense benefit, especially to indoor workers who have little contact with the health-giving rays of natural sunlight. HAVE YOU THE ANSWER? The constant reader of any number of newspapers in this land of the free runs across some arresting thoughts, especially if he takes time occasionally to peruse the letters that readers send in to editors, For example, with most Americans thoroughly convinced that war is’ wrong and that it should be abolished, there was recently published a letter in a metro- politan. journal in which the writer as- sérted that “long continued peace can be more damaging to human. civilizations than very devastating wars.” The author goes into no long argu- ment about the statement although he in- ‘sists that “there is an appreciable amount of historical, sociologic and psychological evidence” to suggest that it is correct. The writer of this editorial is not go- ing to attempt any answer. Let the reader imagine, if possible, the basis for the state- ment and then, if possible, work out a con- vincing answer. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Boston now requires motorists over 65 years of age to pass a driving test pre- scribed by a recent ordinance. Among those who failed recently was Dr. A. Law- rence Lowell, president emeritus of Har- vard University. He will be 80 years old next December, but will try again. It is announced that Jimmy Walker, | former mayor of New York, will campaign for Roosevelt. It will be recalled that! Walker resigned under fire during an in- vestigation being conducted by Roosevelt when he was’ governor. Truly, politics makes strange bedfellows, An eleven-year-old white girl, War- nester Strickland of New Orleans, recently became the mother of an 8-pound baby boy through a Caesarean operation, The ‘soe other is only 26, the two being the Wet other and grandmother of rye” there is any record, physicians’ be- 2. f i « Inspector Sandys-Wunsch of the Cana- diam-Mounted Police recently won first prize in a knitting contest held in Mon- treal. No one jokes him about it, either, as he is handy with his fists and is a crack pistol shot. The magazine Today reminds us that the AAA's idea of paying people for not doing something is not new. It declares that in the days of the Old West the Wells Fargo company paid one highwayman a salary of $125 a month not to hold up its stage coaches. ¢ A plank declaring against monopoly first appeared in a third party platform in 1884. The sentence “private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable” was writter into the Democratic platform of 1900° by Bryan, and reappeared in 1904; 1908 and 1912. Now, after a long rest, it is found in the Republican platform of 1936. Cold shower baths are dangerous, ac- cording to Dr. H. J. Behrend of New York, especially for elderly people and those who are weak, anemic or with poor circulation. While robust people can stand the shock without injury, he says “I THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Yeare Ago Today As Taken From ‘The Files Of The Citizen {Mean ....
