The cut-in dance was probably orig- inated by a darky with a razor. There's satisfaction in doing good work even though you don't get any more pay for it. Many college students are too much interested in the stadium and not enough in the curriculum, It is reported that Postmaster Gen- eral Farley is considering to take over the salesmanship in an automobile manufac- turing concern. This should prove’a little better going than the riding of a dorilsey for the past five years, a Germany has a Four Year Plan and to help this plan precious fiber must be saved. So the length of shirttails becomes a national problem, and is: Should shirts have an average length of 37.4 inches in front and 39.37 in back, or should the shirttail measure only 37.4 inches. That is the question and the “tale.” The New York Telephone Gompany has come out ina flatfooted repudiation of one of the oldest traditions associated with the invention, says the New York Times. It advises to omit the word “hello” and give your name when the _ telephone rings. At least the pensed with as a concession to the request, and the publicizing of the devil’s abode stepped. While there is another city in Florida} which has assumed the slogan, “The Friendly City,” and Key West should not take that slogan for its own, it is a friendly city in fact and visitors know it as such. city in the state, and that need not be a difficult task, for the people of this city are naturally friendly and kind. Maybe it is the climate, and if that is correct, se much the better, for an ideal climate always with us. “hell” could be dis | | i j | | WORSHIP DEAD ACTOR According to a London film critic, no man in history ever inspired such adora- tion from women as did Rudolph Valen- tino, the famed Italian-born film star who died in 1926 at the age of 31. Five years ago his admirers among English women formed the Valentino As- | sociation, which now has branches in many | countries. By these women, few of whom ever saw him except on the screen, he has been elevated to something like sainthood | since his death, and his memory( is kept ! alive among them by making gifts in his | name, photographs, other distributing his through correspondence and. in ways. Valentino received a good education in his native Italy and came to the United States in 1913, first appearing as a dancer, then in musical comedy, and after being | stranded in San Francisco he entered motion pictures at Hollywood, taking minor parts. He scored his first great suc- cess in “The Four Horsemen,” after which his career until his death was a succession of triumphs. He was twice married and twice divorced. following operations for gastric ulcer and appendicitis. Conceding hig great; ability as an actor and the charm“6f-'!his personality, the’ fact that he is still-titerally worship- ped by thousands of. dimen throughout the } world, js... somewhat difficult, to under- stata 7% diostod ni bois Perhaps the reason we don’t under- stand all this is that we don’t understand women. HARMFUL “CHARITY” Kind-hearted citizens, in Key West and elsewhere, often take unction to their souls in the thought that they cheerfully contribute their bits to the relief of any one who comes to them with a tale of woe, or seeks succor for distress. It would surprise some of these peo- ple very much to learn that they are prob- ably making a mistake. More often, they are encouraging a habit of begging, which will make of the recipient a panhandler all his life. The aim of modern relief is to cor- rect the condition which causes a man, or a woman, or a family, to be on the seamy side of want. Very often these circum- stances can be so altered as to make the individual or family self-supporting, and enable them to take their place in society as worthy members, earning what they receive. This is much better than scattering alms wholesale and without wise discrimi- nation. While we would not go so far as to say that all charity should be controlled by social workers, we do assert that most of it should be so expended. FLYBLOWING THE CHURCHES Every once in a while you run up on a citizen in Key West who tries to im- press you with the broadness of his reli- gious viewpoint by taking a few pot shots at the churthes 6 f@e\nitio ‘The speak- ex will tell abouts helping athe! human be- ings in distress, and exhibit every sign of superiority those who worship in or- ganized. chur cheat Eee of their reli- gion. It is rather pe fom that these talkers realize that without the organized church- es of the past it is highly improbable that they would know very much about reli- gion. It is worse than that. Without the organized churches of the past it is doubt- ful if our present civilization would be even vaguely as good as it is. The critics of the church are quite willing to accept the fruits of its work, but they are not al- ways just enough to give credit where it is due. A DETESTABLE CRIME All criminal acts are to be condemned but, every once in a while, in reading the newspapers one runs across a particularly | atrocious crime. - The exhibit this time is Whe auto- mobile driver in a large city, who recently intentionally knocked a young down, then picked her up to rush her to woman | the hospital and while she was in the car We should strive to make it the friendliest } robbed her. Then he threw the injured woman out of the automobile. Luckily for society in general pedestrians in particular the police man- and >| sa to pick him up before he could make j his escape.
