The great peri! of the world today lies in the utter worthlessness of interna- tional agreements when they conflict with what a strong nation desires. What reliance could be placed upon a treat with nations that have demonstrated a willingness to violate existing pacts. Suppose that Japan, for example, would adhere to the terms of the London Naval Pact and continue to keep her naval construction a secret. Who would be satis- fied that no ships were being secretly built for the purpose of upsetting the status at a favorable moment? The same observa- tion applies to Italy and Germany as well. Both of them have shown that in the pur- suit of national ends, treaties and the rights of other nations have no standing un- less backed by arms and a willingness to use them. A FIRST OPERA HIT Produced in the week of the compos- er’s Tist birthday, the first opera by Gus- tav Strube of Baltimore was acclaimed as a success, It is called “The Captive,” and seven- teenth century. It is classed as an American opera, al- though the composer was born in Germany. He came to the United States in 1890, was naturalized in 1896, and has taken a promi- nent part in the musica] life of his adopted | country for nearly half a century, begin- ning as a violinist with the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra. = Mr. Strube is a musical conductor of | note, and has composed three symphonies, An optimist is a loser who contents! elf with “a moral victory.” | besides a long list of other works, but is said to have worked intermittently for 20 | years or his opera.

CONFUSION OF NAMES Many animals and birds in the United States are popularly known by names that are all wrong, according to a writer in the Forum, who asserts that the bird common- | ly called a robin is really a thrush and proceeds to point out other misnomers. What we call warblers are not warb- lers at all, he says, but we do have one kind of real warbler, which we call a gnat- catcher. Our so-called orioles are black- birds, and the meadow fark is also a kind of blackbird. Florida seems to be the most confused state with respect to names. The wood ibis is not an ibis, but a stork. There is a true ibis in Florida known as the white curlew; } also a turtle called a gopher, while the prairie gopher of the North is called a salamander. Florida has salamanders, but these go by the name of Congo eels. Well, there isn’t so much in names, anyway, so the Forum writer shouldn't worry about them. And often a thing has two or more names that are correct. For instance, the alligator pear; also writtea avocado, avocato, avogata, avigato, aba- cado, abbogada, alvacata and alligate— all sanctioned by the dictionary. ECHO ANSWERS, “WHO?” Andre Philip, Socialist Deputy of France, says the time has come for the demecracies of the world to stand togetle er and to tell the dictators just what they will not stand for. Most of the citizens of the democra- cies of the world agree with his views. They fall apari, however, when they seek , to determine who will bell the cats. LOBETROTTERS setting out from New York to see the sights across the globe are confronted with one of the world’s most amazing spectacles before they even reach the sea—the fantastic skyscrapers which line the harbor [ike a giant jagged wall. Pictured here is the Santa Lucia sailing for Chile past the buildings of the financial district im lower New York. The foundations of most of these highest buildings in the world are sunk—to an amazing depth—into solid rock, for the original city, now the Borough of Manhattan, was built on an island formed almost entirely of solid rock. Under the skyscrapers spreads the most elaborate subway system ever conceived—with stores atd shops and terminal stations built far under the streets. and with KEY WEST IN | DAYS GONE BY | Happenings Here Just 10 Years.

SOTTOOEOLS MRS. JESSE UNGAR GETS LARGEST SAIL The Citizen received 4 telegram | today from Congressman W. J. Sears to the effect that the house resolution to make a survey for the purpose of ascertaining the! costs in construction of the Over- sea Highway bridges, was report- ed out by the committee. This measure was intrdouced some time ago by Congressman Sears in |the interest of having this work carried on which will no doubt; ‘result in the government lending! the necessary financial aid toward having the bridges completed. A fishing tournament, for next season, rooters for Key West at the Shriners’ convention in Mi- ami, the absence of signboards on the road from Key West to the mainland and a donation of $50 to the Shrine float fund, were jamong the matters acted on at the meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce directors at the regular session today. Cash, prizes and cups are to be offered in the fish- ing tournament and Mrs. Malcolm Meacham heads the list with a prize of $160 in cash. The trophies will cover the biggest catches in the favorite varieties of fish and the contest will be conducted un- der the rules used by all Florida clubs. Hamilton Wright has vol- unteered to feature the evenfs in newspapers and magazines. Geo. Morris. Norberg Thompson. Wil- liam Demeritt and L. P.

At seven months, the tests showed, children of intelligent parents are not as smart as those of parents of low mentality, but at three years they have caught up and passed them.
