The morality of easy thinkers is ex- pressed in the phrase, “don’t get caught.” Human nature being what it is, the man who has a soft snap is rarely anxious to give it up. There are people who like to tease other persons. They enjoy it. That’s a phase of sadism. Most people are willing to accept fa- vers and they haven’t the least idea that there is a price to be paid. This is a good time to begin to pat- ronize Key West business firms; that’s one way to keep money at home. Everybody has a plan for the improve- ment of other people, but few of us have any plan for our own development, It would profit the entire world to lift the standard of living of the peoples in “Tiidia, China and Africa. This would abolish surpluses. “Watch out that the face looking at you in the morning in the mirror is a pleasant one; you may not see’ it again all day, but others will. The mother who killed her five chil- dren and herself because she had ‘“‘stood all’ she “could take”, presents Christian civilization with a problem to think about. In Key West we have no fire-sides at which to listen to the President’s “Fire- side Talks,” so we conjure them up, which is easier than pulling rabbits out of top hats.

FIRE INSURANCE GROWS CHEAPER The annual report of the president of the National Board of Fire Underwriters points to the remarkable decline in the cost of fire insurance. The average charge per $100 of fire | insurance today is more than 40 per cent lower than at the beginning of the century. And since 1900, the decline has been un- interrupted—the average premium charged each year has been lower than the year before. Fire premiums are naturally based on the fire loss occurring in an area. Reduc- tions in premiums are not generally — pos- | sible unless a reduction in is con- sistently recorded over a period of years. For more than three-quarters of a century, the fire insurance industry has worked on the problems of fire protection and pre- vention. It has covered the entire coun-! try with an elaborate system of engineer- j | i loss iB n, valve, andle, and op- erator were all in good work- ing order. I will further inform you that when the water did not flow it was often because of a dry valve, which we used to moisten by pouring water down the tube—and that is what we called priming the pump. “Now, Sandie, as you have listen well, you know more about pum) than most of our politicians. those“who use the analogy, the pump, I guess, represents the structure of. the business-world; the water in the and raw materials; f is the national ‘incomeod6 poedsiand services proceeding from the wrimar, producers, through the secondary ani tertiary producers and the res , to you and me and ail tne other ulumaie consumers.
