A CHINESE WOMAN’S VOICE HE KEY WEST CITIZEN TOO MUCH OF IT ALREADY1... Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the | Chinese leader, in a recent article, declar- | ed that the barbarities of Gengkis Kahn | have been outstripped by the efforts of the Japanese in their invasion of her country. | She is moved to wonder “if there is not in: | the world some courageous international | body of people who would, in the interest | of humanity, dare the ire of the Japanese | and insist upon being present in China dur- | | ing this undeclared war, freely to investi- | gategate |and observe without trammel the | | in oi One Year Six Months Three Months Ss : | One Month A Weekly ...... cet } A Made known on application, | | SPECIAL NOTICE | All reading notices, cards of thanks, resolutions of | respect, obituary notices, etc,, will be charged for at | the rate of 10 cents ® line. | Notices for entertainments by churches from which | @ revenue is to be derived are 5 cents a line. } The Citizen is an epen forum and {invites discus- sion of public issues and subjects of local or general | interest but it will not publish anonymous communi- cations. t IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN .

Within a week the market value of | stocks increased by $7,000,000,000 and a | _ few Key Westers feel better to an extent | approximating, perhaps, $25,000.

We are fighting as well as we | know how, with imadequate equipment. But we will not give up. All I hope is that we will be able to get the necessities for our armies until peace comes. If we can- | not get those necessities, it will be because | the democracies decline to help us get them.” These statements carry a challenge | to the civilized people of the world and | particularly to those who espouse the | cause of democracy. Certainly, the Chinese people have gained the admiration of the | | world through theirj stubborn defense of ee-of great odds. No | | one ean accuse them of losing the fight be- | cause of an unwillingness to face danger, | to suffer privations and to face a future which is black indeed. Meanwhile modern civilization, repre- sented by the democracies, appears to sit unconcerned on the sidelines while aggres- sion and greed, represented by Japan, strangles an unprotected nation and pre- pares to take advantage of conditions to aggrandize herself. HAPPY MARRIAGES Psychologists, sociologists and other ologists are continually checking up the well known human race with respect to all its varied activities nowadays, so it was in- evitable that they should make a study of happy marriages, if any, to determine how eome. After long and patient research, sev- eral of these experts have disclosed their findings, which purport to show that per- sons who marry relatively late are more likely to live happily ever afterward than those who marry at an early age. To give a few examples from the statistics compiled by these indefatigable researchers, the following conclusions are quoted: A girl who marries after she is 25 is three times as likely to find wedded bliss as one who rushes into matrimony before she is 20. Males who marry after the age of 25 have 2.2 times the chance for married | happiness as those who marry at an earlier | age, according te one expert, while another | places the ratio at 2.5. In either case note | the decimal point. * Where both parties to a marriage are over 25, the chances for making a go of it | are still greater.
