Sore PRBEE IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN ' | as announced in yesterday’s | a blow to Key West’s hope of a capacity | the appearances of a series | coming season is | tained by the P. A BLOW TO KEY WEST Cancellation of the proposed Ham- | burg-American Line ferry service between Key West and Havana starting Dee. 15, Citizen, is’ house this season. The action by. Ham- burg-American officials followed window cards and posters at Miami Beach and other much-frequented spots along the east coast, so that Key West must suf- | fer for a dispute over religious matters in | Germany and elsewhere. The result is that the only Cuban service now assured this city during the that ordinarily main- & O. Steamship com- pany. As everyone here knows, that serv- | ice provides only two weekly sailings to | | Cuba. | enroute to Havana with a full complement | of passengers no one can be taken aboard If the SS. Cuba,arrives from Tampa | here for the 90-mile run to Havana. Opening of the Overseas Highway has | created a tremendous demand for informa- tion regardirg the possibility of reaching Cuba by way of Key West. Hamburg- American Line officials had been assured | of a very substantial volume of such traffic, | so that the present P. & O. service is likely | to prove woeiully inadequate—that is out | of Key West. The P. & O. interests have | put two boats on the Miami-Havana route, Water and Sewerage. Compreheusive City Plan (Zoning). Hotels and Apartments. Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea.

Sam eI BE Pe ek x Sa — Advertisers who get ahead of the business boom will stay ahead of their field, As a national referendum our elec- tion is almost a joke—of course, not to the fellows that were defeated. What is the need of a Pardon Board if it didn’t give pardons; it was created for that purpose, wasn’t it? When people borrow money, they usually mean to pay it backy but excuses are easier to dig up than money, * Now if Cuba had another so-called “strong-man”’, Batista would find himself locked out upon his return to. his native land, The local merchants are beginning to display Christmas merchandise and we suggest that you look over their goods be- fore deciding to trade out of town, If everybody would make an extra ef- fort to settle all outstanding accounts this mortth what a revolution it would ’make in | the business life of this community. The Red Cross is making its annual appeal to the people of Key West. The or- ganization does good work and should have the support of all citizens, especially | yhen all but 50 cents of any contribution is; spent here. It has always been that way, through- out history; the most utopian and chimeri- | eal ideas have had the most fanatic fol-_ lowing. And don’t the politicians know it! Yet a politician like Downing, with his $30 every Thursday idiocy, has the ‘blessing of the President. Look out for the Trojan horse of Communism. He appears as a fine speci- | men of the equine family on the outside, but inwardly he is a treacherous. beast, and some day the termites within will spring forward to do their destruction on a na- tion weakened by the constant propaganda to which it'is bubjected by subversive ele- ments,without, a determined governmental opposition, Fast beckuse a young Jewish boy, un- der age, shot a secretary of the German embassy in Paris, Madman Goering, who was once detained in an insane asylum, decreed that the Jews of Germany pay to : the German Reich $400,000,000. Besides this penalty, unbelievable atrocities were heaped upon the heads of this unfortunate people, and laws have been promulgated | that virtually makes them abject slaves of the Huns. The Jewish youth was goaded to his act by the inhuman treatment that had been visited upon his parents in Ger- many, i | but profess they are unable to | necessity for a. regular Key West- Vana ferry service such'as that which | was 'to have been offered by the Hamburg-Amer- ican Line. The Citizen believes this is a mistake, or a deliberate attempt to keep Key West | out of the Cuban-American travel lanes and to continue the flow of such traffic by | way of Tampa and Key West. If this plan is successful the P. & O. will continue to enjoy a virtual monopoly of such traffic at fares far above what might be charged with profit for a trip to Cuba by way of Key West. The P. & O. interests revealed their attitude toward the Key West rout- ing when they went before the Maritime commission at Washington and opposed | the application of the West Indies com- pany, an American company, for a certi- ficate of convenience and necessity for a Key West-Havana ferry service. However, the P. & O. interests must realize now the Key West-Havana service offers opportunity for profitable opera- tions. Nearly everyone in Key West hopes | the officials of the P. & O. will change | their minds regarding the travel possibili- ties through Key West and take some ac- tion toward*establishing such a service. It it certain that eventually the West Indies company or some Sther American trans- portation company will establish such a service, so that it behooves the P. & O. to make some constructive move aong that line. BIRTH OF THE RED CROSS This month the annual roll call of the Red Cross is taking place, and the public | is again reminded of the untiring zeal and effectiveness of this indispensable organi- zation in the service of stricken humanity. Tn contemplating the devotion of this now world-wide agency, of amerey, it is not | amiss to give a thohpht ta that Kindly soul who was its founder, Henri Dunant, a Franco-Swiss business'man, born in Ge- neva in 1828. Witnessing the sufferings of the wounded after the battle of Solferino, Italy, in 1859, he organized a volunteer | nursing service for their relief. For three years thereafter he lectured and wrote of | the horrors he had witnessed, traveling about Europe making his plea for an or- ganization to meet such emergencies. Of- , ficials of influence were interested and an international conference was called at Ge- neva in 1863, with 36 delegates represent- ing 14 nations and six charitable organiza- tions present. Thus the Red Cross was born, Henri Dunant lived to the age of 82, by which time he had seen the great or- ganization of which he was the father spread to every civilized nation. Perhaps no man who ever lived contributed more to the cause of humanity than he, and mil- lions yet unborn will be beneficiaries of the noble movement of which his great, sym- pathetic heart was the inspiration.

After a rousing welcome the col- onel told the club that never be- fore had Key West looked so | good to him. He had arrived early this year in time to vote and pay his taxes.

Reports on the respective audits were re- ceived from time to time by the | county officials, that of the coun- |ty clerk being the last to arrive. It came in three months after the | audit had been completed, which was on July 5. Reports from | that office showed an apparent | discrepancy in the tax redemp-| tion certificate department in- volving about $21,000. This, Mr. Filer later reported, had been peeah al up by the finding of the eertii cates, which had been evi- dently overlooked in the vault by the ‘state accountants. | The firemen’s minstrel. to be | Presented Monday night at the San Carlos theater promises to be an outstanding show of the season.

Literary Digest of the same year, was en- titled, “Why We Oppose Pockets For, Women”. This ridiculing script appeared in the midst of the Woman’s Suffrage fight and, \I think, is equally apropos today | lin Florida, when married women are asking to be permitted to handle their own property, as they, handled it before they. were married. “Why We Oppose Pockets For Women” follows. Read it and laugh, with me. 1. Because pockets’ are not a, | Natural right. 2. Because the great majority of women do not want pockets. If they. did, them. 3. Because whenever women ‘have. had. pockets they have not used. them. 4. Because women are ex- pected to carry enough things as ‘it is without. the additional bur- den. of pockets. 5. Because it would make dis- sension between husband wife as to whose pockets were to be filled. 6. Because it would destroy men’s chivalry toward women if he did not carry all her things in his pockets. 7. Because men are men and women are women. We must not fly in the face of nature. 8. Because pockets have been used by men to carry tobacco, pipes, whisky flasks, chewing gum and compromising letters. ‘We see no reason to suppose that | women would ‘ust, them more wisely. eowweseoce 83 5 79 Normal Mean 74 Rainfall” | Yesterday's Precipitation, Normal Precipitation -0 Ins. .07 Ins. 1 *Rhin record cayeen = ir period | ending nl 8 o'clock th) ae ‘Tomorrow's A 22 Sun rises 45 a. m.
