The institution over which Mrs. Gut- | sens presides was the family home of the | late Edyardo, H. Gato, a prominent figure | in. the.business life of Key West and one | of the°first‘tiga!’ manufacturers to pro- duce high grade cigars on a large scale in this. city, , Some.years after the Gato Maria Gutsens was placed in charge as matron and guiding hand of the institu- ! tion. For the past quarter century she has given her all for the service of those who H have been without the necessary means to secure treatment in other institutions of | the kind.

APPENDICITIS AND AGE The age at which most people de velop appendicitis is in their with a preponderance of cases occurring about the age of 25, according to Dr. Ro-/ land M. Harper, who has_ studied 267 cases treated in a hospital with which he! has been in close touch. While the ages of patients ranged from 6 to 65 years, the average was 25 for either males or females, in city or coun-|Normal Mean try. Dr. Harper points out that this find- ing closely agrees with the statistics of hospitals in various parts of the country, and may be taken as a fair average for the entire population, Appendicitis, he says, is evidently al disease which generally attacks persons in the prime of life, like tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Except in a relatively, small percentage of cases, it rarely attacks the very young or those past middle age. i Those over 50 years of age are rarely! troubled with appendicitis, but, as there are exceptions, everyone should be alert} to detect symptoms of the disease and ob- tain treatment promptly A DESERVED HONOR Few Americans ever heard of Dr. Charles Guillaume, a French scientist, re- cently awarded a special medal by the British Physical ‘Society for the discovery of three important metal alloys. Yet one of these, called, ,platinite, is said to save nearly $5,000,000 annually in the manu- facture of electric light bulbs.

In this category fall the tax on the undistribut- ed earnings of corporations, which is meant to force corpo- rations to pay larger divi- dends, and thus stimulate spending by shareholders; the PWA, which aims to place purchas- ing power in the hands of | the unemployed; the criticism of | bankers for their failure to lend more | liberajly; and the constant endeavor to raise wages, the theory being that | purchasing power in the hands of ! laborefs will do more good than pur- | chasing power in the hands of em- ployers, because the laborers will be more likely to spend the money. | At the same time the, Treasury is | actively pushing the sale of baby ! bonds—bonds selling for as little as | $18.75. These bonds are made of low | denomination so as to bring ithem | within the means of persons of mod- erate incomes. The bonds do not even | pay interest currently: the holder gets his interest in the form of an accre- tion of his principal. The purchaser of a bond for $18.75 will, if he holds it for ten years, receive the sum of $25 which works out at an annual in- lerest rate of 2.9 per cent for the ten- year period. During the first eight months after these bonds were placed on sale more than two hundred mil- j lion dollars worth were sold. Is there not a measure of incon- || Nation’s Affairs | Buy-Buy Baby Bonds By ELIOT JONES Professor of Transportation and Public Utilities, Stanford University sistency in the government policies? Certainly the people who buy baby bonds have quite moderate incomes, and the purchase of a bond means @ corresponding reduction in the vol- ume of their purchases of goods. ‘Are they not by their purchases of bonds retarding the flow of money into trade, and thus prolonging the depression? Apart from the question whether the government policies are incon- sistent—and this need not disturb us particularly, because we have be- come used to that—should not the purchase of these bonds be en- couraged? Under ordinary circum- stances the answer would most em- phatically be in the affirmative. Those who are able to make provision for the future owe it to constituted so- ciety to do so, in order that they may not eventually become a burden to society. And the purchasers of baby bonds can be certain that they will eventually get their interest, for it is inconceivable that the govern- ment even though it did break its promise to redeem certain of its paper money in gold, will fail to redeem the baby bonds at their maturity Why, then, any hesitation at this time about the purchase of the bonds? The reason for hesitation is that an era of inflation, with much higher prices than those prevailing to-day, is probably ahead of us and money spent in the future will almost cer- tainly have less purchasing power than it has to-day. The government officials who are advocating that persons of mod- erate means, whose wants are quite inadequately supplied as it is. post- pone their purchase of needed goods to an uncertain future, are assuming quite a responsibility. But of course what they are interested in is get- ting the funds required to finance gov- | ernment spending. twenties, ; (Address questions :o the author. care of this sewspaper) TODAY’S WEATHER night and Sunday, possibly squalls --88 over extreme north portion. 81) East Gulf: Fresh southerly “80 winds, possibly becoming strong jover north portion and shifting to 01 ins. west or northwest and overcast “is inact weather with rain and squalls this ae ee period | Sfternoon and tonight and pos ck thin morsing. |Sibly Sunday morning.

KEY T IN DAYS GONE B Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From In their extra session held last! evening the county commissioners, acting upon the suggestion offer- ed in paragraph 7 of the recom- mendations made by the county engineers at the meeting Thurs- day night, decided to call for bids for one small grader, and oil patching machine and a dump truck to be used in carrying on maintenance work on the roads of the county. It is the aim of the commissioners and engineers to begin this maintenance work at once, or as soon as deterioration is beginning tq show and in this way make the repairs before the in juries to the road become toe much enlarged by constant traf- fic. Elsewhere in Che Citizen today will be found the formal an- nouncement of Clevelend Nile for reelection to the position of sheriff which he now holds by appointment of the governor. Fol- lowing the death of the late Ro- land Curry, who was at the time of his death the sheriff, Mr. Nile: was appointed to fill oyt the un- Jexpired term. When appointed he was forced to relinquish the | cttice of chief of city police. In the June primary. he became the democratic nominee by a ma- jority of 1,835 votes and is now asking the voters to support hiw in the general election. Captain and Mrs. Clark D. Stearns arrived in Key West yes- terday morning on the Mallory Steamer Concho, after spending delightfully pleasant vacation in the north.
