Movie stars no doubt consider mar- riage as merely a breathing spell between romances, ; pi a erareaeeeeet ie eke The principal business of some people is the effort to make others think they are important. : One of the easiest things in the world is to reorganize somebody's business in casual conversation. Land hungry nations, with dictators and war machines, envy the undeveloped areas of South America. Certain politicians have communistic tendencies; they often blush and some- times get red in the face. Live within your income and you will really live; spend more than you make and your life will be miserable, The Red»Cross is-asking for $10,000,- 060 for relief\.of the flood sufferers, and the response ‘all over the ‘country is gen- erpus for this worthy catise, The Internal Reverlue Bureau reports that it gets plenty of:tips on tax frauds from “friends” and “neighbors” of tax- payers. You better watch your friends and neighbors. Smudge pots are burning in various parts of Key West and in many parts of California, but for different purposes. Here it is to warn vehicular traffic where public works are being operated; on the western coast it is to keep the citrus fruit from freezing. If the city authorities would exercise as much energy in collecting delinquent taxes as they did in arresting violators of the traffic laws there would be enough money available to pay the city employees and the current bills.

With winter half over, the weather It may be. according to the calendar, may surprise us. However, don’t forget that January, 1936, also began in mild fashion but before the end of the month honest-to-goodness cold was at hand, with sub-normal temperatures staying with us | for almost three weeks.
