These figures are enough to convince gilae#lers of The Citizen that the problem is big enough to engage the serious atten- tion of every citizen. If for nothing but selfish reasons, it seems, every citizen should strive to be careful, to avoid taking unnecessary risks of any kind and to use caution before it is too late. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen 4 Strange | semen sometimes arise through a common peril. Two hounds and a fox which they were chasing all fell in- to a well at Breckenridge, Mo., and _ re- mained there three days before being fish- ed out, after which the dogs seemed chummy with the fox and refused to both- er him further. Al Demaree, who digs up interesting sports items of bygone days, relates the story of Charley Moran’s world’s record of strikeouts. Pitching for Nashville Academy against Vanderbilt University some years ago, Moran struck out nine men in one inning, yet in that inning, Van- derbilt scored six runs. The explanation is that Moran’s catcher failed to stop six third strikes. . A good many will agree with the late Will Rogers in his pronouncement regard- ing Americans abroad, in which he said that “any person that will stay in the mid- dle of a civil war for six months and don’t know enough to even send his family out, it won’t do much good to rescue him. You bring him back home and he will run right in front of a Ford.” That che may travel a lot without get- ting anywhere is illustrated by the case of Nicholos G. Stoehr of Pittsburgh, who hag covered a million miles in the last 3 years, He has just retired from service as a street car conductor in his home city. Charles A. Klima, indicted-in New York for having five wives, from whom he_ is said to have seeured $11,600, has added insult to injury by uttering a foul libel on the fair sex, saying: “I’d blow into town and right away the women would get me with the five slantlered ladies armed with rolling pins. Meditating on the passing of the Shaker colony near Lebanon, O., of which he was one of the prominent members, James Fennessey expressed some sound philosophy in a few words. Speaking of the colony's extinction, he said: “It was a failure for the same reason that all com- munistic enterprises must fail—the lack of incentive, the lack of reward for ambi- tion.” Life's little ironies are again illus- trated by the case of Michael O'Leary, {Wh thuilled the British Empire by wiping out.single-handed a nest of German snipers i ays.of the World War, for which he wassawarded the Victoria Cross. (NOWilie is beifg sent, with his wife and iidren, from Canada back to his sfand, after losing 21 jobs, and a well-to-do relative has agreed to support | the family. af i An odd case of versatility is that of THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | Highest Lowest Mean Normal Mean Ri Yesterday’s Precipitation Normal Precipitation .... .10 Ins. “Phin record covers 24-hour period Lending at § @'elock thin imac.
