PATRICK’S DAY On March 17, St. Patrick’s day is cele- \ brated as the national festival of Freland and its observance is more or less general among Irishmen and their descendants throughout the world. The date is said to be that of St. Patrick’s death, but even the year is not known, although it is thought to have been about 469 A. D. Three noted Patricks are said to have flourished in Ireland during this peried, | and accounts concerning them are so ob- scure and confusing as to cause some doubts as to whether St. Patrick was a real or only a legendary personage. According to tradition, however, St. Patrick was born im Britain and played an important part in introducing Christianity into Ireland, after six years in slavery into which he was sold by hostile Scots, who abducted him at the age of about 16. Finally making his eseape, he decided to devote his life to the conversion of the Irish. His mission as a priest began about the years 425, and he became a bishop about 441. His ministry is said te have been attended with much success, hence his designation as Ireland’s patron saint, 4l- though not ‘an Trishman himself— — ASA re eee enee es hth St. Patrick is that he usel the sha’ cht MARAE other, entirely fanciful, is that thes kes ontfoll Ireland. hatever the truth about th ters, the living fact is that tle name of St. Patrick is revered by Irishmen the world over, who commemorate him by “the wear- ing of the green” on each 17th day of , Mareh. WORKERS AND MACHINES The theory that machinery is to blame | for unemployment and other economic ills is declared to be an utter fallacy by Dr. Robert A Millikan, famed president of the California Institute of Technology, who says that only the creation of rew ma- chines and new products can solve their economic problems. He points out that the standard of liv-.) ing in any. country is determined by the ducéd, w! means that the use of miore science, aid consequently more machines, {tg neeessafy to raise this standard. Com- paring what American wages will buy as compared with those of fome other na- tions, Dr. Millikan says: “The American wage worker gets 1.7. times as much buying power for an hour's | work as does the worker in Great Britain, 1.92 times as much as the Swedish or Dutch | | worker, 2:5 as much as the German work- er, and more than $ times as much as the worker in other ‘parts of Europe, outside | of Russia, where the average buying pow- | | er of wages is perhaps less than one-tenth One of the earliest improvements for the city of Key West advocated by The Citizen was city planning or zoning. On Wednesday, March 26, 1926, this item was | added to the desired improvements print- ed on the editatial page, and this was later | followed by series of atticles from’ the | pen of F. W.-Levéring. Twelve years is a long time, but now this paper is happy to | see some céfi¢rete effort being made to — achieve a goal initiated by it more than a H decade of years ago. Hitler, who has unofficially conquer- ed Austria and won the Chamberlain gov- ernment to his side, now has a covetous eye on litle Czechoslovakia—the one real de- mocracy remaiming in central Europe. The Czechs have a government very similar to ours. He apparently won't find the going easy, however—the Czechoslovakian gov- ernment has announced it will fight the Nazis to the last man, and has embarked ; on as ambitious a military expansien pro- gram.as.dt can, afford. It has France on its side, Thus, little by little, the ententes me the “next world war” are forming. will be incredibly tax in it: ray it C3 to order an ‘investigation of the 4Ténhessee Valley Authority. Fer the latest demand for an investigation has come, not from an outsider, }' the TVA’s own chairman—Dr. Arthur E. Morgan. Dr. Morgan, famed as an engineer and educa- tor and, «cually important, as a man who believes 11 fair and above-board dealings by both government and business, has at- tempted to adopt honest policies for tre TVA, that have public and press approval —but has apparently been blecked by oth- er officers of the Authority. The p which puts up the money is entitled «know just what is going on. : vhlic to of what it is here.” AN OLD CHINESE CUSTOM Here’s'a straw to show the way fhe wing 4 blowing iORhMBOHIS13T ow Feng-chi, former mander o the yp ey eqeee R Army, w: sho! ing as he was lea’ F0E:. ‘on- cession, at Shenther Press dispatches relate that “General Chow was understood to have been nego- tiating with the Japanése for a high post in a Japanese-sponsored government.” There have been intimations that the Chinese, as a part of their defense plans, plan to prevent the establishment of pup- pet government in the conquered area. A part of this program is to prevent any re- sponsible Chinese from accepting positions offered them by the Japanese. Assa3sina- tion of such “traitors” is ene of the meth- eds ef persuading others rot make similar mistakes. m- to ACQUITTING “GOODY” COLE After nearly three hundred years the GUARDIAN OF MILLIONS IN GOLD {= battered looking fortification once guarded a city to which} gold and silver were brought in such | amazing quantities tha) the bars were piled up like wood in the cem" cea? piasee tr stan to Porto Bello, a little town twenty.
