Advertising is the only. way we know for a business man to make customers out of strangers. The way to get something done right is to tell somebcdy else how to do it and then go ahead and do it yourself. The Los Angeles bakers are also on a sit-down strike. Naturally, they want more dough; in, fact they knead ic. A little village in Scoiland, with a population of 1,500, is called Dollar. Every day is Dollar Day with them. One of these days there may be a liv- ing without working and if there is, will we be satisfied? Loafers usually find ex- istence onerous. The Miami Daily Tribune is now ar- riving in the morning instea4 of late in the evening. This is not intended as an ad- vertisement, but is an acknowlegment of ente: prise, which always has its reward. Key West is not the only place abounding in tax dodgers, In Lakewood, N. J., high school studenfs,, armed with placards paraded the’ streéts urging de- linquent taxpaymer ng.of the placards read: “Be wise, cailize d save our schools from closing. Former Federal Judge Halsted L. Ritter’s appeal from his impeachment and conviction by Congress has been denied re- vision by the Sup’eme Court. While we hold no brief for othe ousted federal judge, we would like to see those so-called friends who effected his downfall, get what is coming to them. However, in a herd like that, there is generally only one goat. Nothing thwarts progress more than fear, President, Ropseyelt has often stated publicly; yet in his fireside talks in his ef- fort to enlerge the Supreme Court, he paints a dark picture hints at troublesome times and endcavors to put fear into the hearts of his listeners:unless the member- replaced with men who, he thinks, nay be relied upon to render decisions in line with the New Deal. When former President Hoover was campaigning for the presidency, his potent endeavor was to inject’ fear into the thoughts of the electorate, one of his pet phrases being that unless the Republi- cans were maintained in power, “grass would grow in the streets of every city.” Bryan used « similar term in his cam- with certain agencies for “news letters," hich ey primarily fc ‘ormed on matters. ; met interesting collection of these let- oa Even a diseased heart can stand a lot sometimes. While preparing to go. to ters, from the correspondence of the an of Fugger, international bankers, is _ still. preserved, in which many acts of violence are recorded. One of these letters, dated at Augs- burg, December 2, 1585, contains accounts of three murders, one suicide, one at- tempted suicide and one drowning. In another letter there is an account of a scandal, with a spicy recital of details such as no modern newspaper of general’ circulation would think: Still another depicts the horrible atrocities being: per= petrated in Russia, in which thousands of peasants were killed. | adi iw e® Crimes and disasters loom large) i history and in the news of the day, form- ing an inevitable part of the record of hu- manity. Not to know about them would mean ignorance of the realities of life. But many of the offensive particulars might well be omitted from our pages. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL. Former Editor of The Key West Citizen ‘a hospital to be treated for a heart ail- ment, Mrs. Inez Greer, 42, plunged from the ninth floor of a Chicago apartment house, landed on a wire netting over the basement, suffered an injured spine and the breaking of both legs. Her heart kept right on beating, and she may recover. Lauritz Melchior, famed Danish-born tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, has only one complaint to make about America—he is bothered too much by people who want his autograph, yet he obliges as many as possible. When he absent-mindedly signed | We as a check recently “With best wishes, Lau- | ritz Melchior,’ the check bounced back. Peggy Joyce, whose intended fifth husband, Vivian Jackson, was killed in a sleighing accident in January, has _ sold four horses he had given her, for $8,800. Her half interest in.a fifth horse was for $288 to Mrs. Jac proving a boon to tall mén is the ‘building } “into op- These special berths of two extra long sleeping’ ‘sections some of the new streamlined trains erated in the West. are six inches longer than those of the : “Long | ,. standard Pullman, and are called Johns” by railroad men. Mrs. Inez Swanson, 58, (not to be con- fused with Gloria) of Los Angeles, has certificates to prove she has been married 12 times. Relating her experiences as wife, saleslady, cowgirl, detective and in other callings, she recently boasted: “I ain't never buried a husband yet.” Jim Farley, Democratic national chairman, was puzzled when he received a $1,000 check sigred “Alfred M. Lan- don,” as a contribution to the Roosevelt victory dinner on March 4. He soon dis- covered, however, that the check had not been signed by the former G. O.
