It is useless to criticize others unless -you can tell them what to do. When bigger newspapers are printed ‘there will be few people to read them. The world ‘cannot understand why England is taking such a cuffing from Mus- “solini without retaliating, but the world “should also remember that when treating with a madman, a nation like an individual, *must use conciliatory methods. Nothing tis gained by abruptness, ape nncnioe For the present the major objective of the local Chamber of Commerce, in the able hands of Secretary Singleton, is and “should act as a bureau of information to the thousands of people who have their ‘eyes on Key West with a view of locating “here or at least spending the winter Months in this nature-favored isle.

We in Key West have worked a long | time for our bridges. The coming opening | will be the first fruit of our endeavors. Key West is not alone in her delight.

SOME OLD QUESTIONS A writer in the Boston Transcript has dug up a list of old-time questions, show- ing the trend of inquiry in the Middle Here are a few: “Why did God not will that a man should be hungry only once a week? An- swer: Hunger is a punishment for Adam’s sin. “What makes beasts mad? Answer: Looking at a certain star on the 21st day of the March moon. “Why did Noah bring serpents into the ark? Answer: In obedience to God, who, having created them for. his glory, did not wish them destroyed. 2 “What language does a deafmute un- derstand in his heart? Answer: Adam’s, therefore Hebrew. A child brought up without being taught any language would speak Hebrew spontaneously. “If my parents had not existed, how should I have been born? Answer: The | number of living things are forseen from all eternity, hence you would have been! born from other parents. “When God made Adam, how old was (No answer). “Will idiots be ag Bide While the propounders of the ques- tions appeared to claim an unusual insight into the workings of the Almighty, they hesitated to venthre answers to the last two. We, too, would hesitate-to—answer them, although we ,have heard people 1s fer to that kind ‘of idiots. he? damned? (No an- WHO DRIBES THE S¢HOGE Bus?"

The safety of pupils, who ride in a} school bus, is in the keeping of the driver ! of the vehicle. Their lives only so long as the driver refuses to be safe “take can any chances.” } School authorities in this country, up- | terrible fatalitie isiness to check-up ! rs ent on reading of such should make it their on the driving habits of all driv ed with Highway other o ould make it cern to know tha e driver of any sch bus is a safe driver, The major sibility, however, rests upon school aut ties who hire drivers they that responsibility and other drivers. ust- natrolmen and their pupils ers con- Oo} should necessary, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN You and Your Nation’s Affairs Farm Prices and Income By ERNEST MINOR PATTERSON | President, American Academy From month to month we have agriculturalproblems presented to us in different forms and with differ- ent proposed remedies, Recently Sec- retary Wallace has been urging an “ever normal granary.”,“One description has styled it the “all weather” idea.

Even if the pre-war rela- tion was a good one, have any impor- tant changes come which make its restoration unwise? This world is one of constant and baffling change. What is desirable at one time may be highly undesirable a few years later. Certain changes have been going on for many years that have a bearing on the position of agriculture. One is the rapid ii vement in the tech- nique of far Better choice of s, higher quality fertilizers, more ving machinery, etc. have that this has occurred, presumably lower prices are reasonabie.
