USING OUR LEISURE TIME Today the average person has more leisure than he had a generation ago, con- sequently he has more opportunities for cultural pursuits, if his inclinations are in that direction. The average work-day is shorter and thus even the manual laborer is enabled to share in the leisure which an advancing civilization has made possible. How to suitably employ leisure time | is consequently becoming a_ rather: im- portant problem, the solution of which : must naturally be found by each individual for himself. Spare time may weil be de- voted in part to studies which lead to ad- vancement in one’s occupation or profes- sion, or even to preparation for a more de- sirable calling. Correspondence courses afford many opportunities in these direc- tions. For those who have found their life work and are succeeding in it, leisure of- | fers the means of broadening the mental vision by a better acquaintance with the} masterpieces of literature and art, by de- veloping a better appreciation of music, obtaining a better grasp of national and word affairs—in short it enables one to live a fuller life. For attaining these ends almost un- limited facilities are within the reach of “practically,eyeryone, through books, news- , papeys; foatgazines, motion pictures, and radio! "By'the! judicious use of these, en- tettainment and education may go hand in hand. ' The future happiness and prosperity of most of us depend largely upon how we employ our spare time. _HEALTH RACKETEERS Medical quackery, which for several years gradually lost ground because of the growing tendency of newspapers to re- ject quack advertising, seems to have found a new and potential aid in the radio. Much advertising which no_ self-re- specting newspaper would print is freely broadcast over the air, evidently with some suce in attracting suckers, because it is being continued in undiminished volume. Those who prey upon the public by fraudulently cashing in on the universal desire for health are characterized by Dr. E. P. Lyon, dean of the medical school of the University of Minnesota, as “health racketee He says of this type of faker: “His health patter is psuedo science. | His eye on your check book. In these days especially he prostitutes the radio to his uses. Quacks and quackery, faker: and fakery of all kinds appeal to a_ be wildered public between jazz and _ the nasal tenor, with blatant advertisements that no reputable journal will print. Oh, health, what crimes are committed in thy name!” Even some of what appears to be legi- timate advertising is very descriptive. The doctor says further: “Brushing the teeth is a nice habit; but no one has proved that it sayes teeth, and all the flamboyant ad- “ergisife’gbdutitooth pastes is rotte MORE BABIES ADOPTED It speaks well for the humane spirit of our people that the number of orphans and children of incompetent parents who have been adopted into comfortable homes } 1 Me; nest | mo: | fair to partly ov In'ght and Saturday, possibly scat- tered showers over extreme south _THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Members _of all parties will join, approving the ‘ecent agreement of the American, British and French govern- ments to stabilize their currencies. The step has been too tong delayed. «If the effort suc- cessful there will be ap. ;in- creased steadi- ness in fGreign trade for all concerned and probably an en- darged <mount of transactions. But it is weil to remember that this is only a first step and that the next 1 : ores are far ‘harder. Money is important but it 's only the medium by which trade and will encourage these purchases and sales. From the standpoint of the French business man a devalued franc means the sale of. goods abroad in larger i volume For seyeral years the French | exporter has been at a serious dis- advantage in competing with the ex- | porters of other countries.

The debts can be really paid only if we are willing to receive foreign goods. Any agree- ment regarding payment will mean a pressure on us to take these goods. This is in addition to the encourage- ment to foreign exporters that may come from devaluing their currencies. It is to be remembered that Holland, Italy and Switzerland are following the lead of France, and it is quite possible that Germany will do the same. We are thus brought back to the situation of 1930 before Great Britain suspended gold payments. What was the trouble then? Trade was disorg- anized. Because some countries had suddenly become debtors they were under pressure to send goods abroad in order to pay their debts. Other countries that had s:iddenly become creditors faced an increase in their imports but tried to keep cut the foreign goods. Every country tried to increase its exports but to restrict its imports. The situation was im- | possible. Of course not all countries can at any given time export more than they import. If some have an excess of exports others must have an excess of imports. What will now be the attitude of the United States? We are a great cred- itor country. This implies che receipt of an excess of imports. Presumably they will not come suddenly in a huge kept out. To the extent that we keep them out we shall prevent the pay- ment of the war debts and we shall lesson the ability of our exporters to sell American goods abroad.

These facts are presented by the Chil- dren’s Bureau of the Department of Labor in Washington, which points out that the difference between institutional and home care shows a significant trend in the hous- ing of these unfortunate little ones. Commenting on this humane trend, the Houston Post says: “Such children have brought joy to thousands of childless’ homes.
