Almost anybody can find a plausible excuse for not doing anything. The way of the transgressor may be | get | hard, but one thing sure he doesn’t lonesome. It is hard to convince every woman that all men are liars—unless she happens to.be married to one of them. We are urged to respect all laws. But | isn’t | ” there are so many laws that there enough respect to go around. The sociable man is that fellow who | comes over to sit cn your porch and doesn’t | ~ thing of asking if you have other plans. . denies the Christian God and sets — Deity of his own. up a Advice is usually worthless because | - older mer have had more experience and - rarely need it, while younger men know ~. everything and do not heed it. “The blessing of the Lord is with Ger- many and not with his enemies,” said Hit- - lera year ago. It must be wonderful to - be.a dictator and thus be able to get per- sonal assurance from God himself. at When Longfellow, the poet, was at the height of his fame, many an odd.char. acter came to his door but none so odd as tually happens we'll keep our fingers , . the patent medicine vender who once pushed his way into the poet’s library with the statement that he wanted some Poetry written to order to have printed ~ and-stick on his medicine bottles. - “You see,” he said to the astonished poet, “I go | copies of Adolf Hitler’s famous opus, “Mein | round sellin’ this medicine, and, if you do ih, love. vr entertainment by churéhes from which | of public issues and subjects of local or general | joke | ‘ In one breath Hitler claims that God | — is ‘with his aspirations, and in another he ! | The pulpit and press, schoolroom and bastion have many years with e words of peace and Ther® afe instances whien the echo has been heard, that the need has been ; felt, that the words have carried weight, but this was only temporary. and the echo died away. The power of the great of the | earth is not equa! to the call: The heed- | ing of the lowly ones falls too far short to 0 stop the onslaught. What manner of man will we hear when he calls, “Peace”? One | man said it, and the light of an Easter | morn brings its echo again to us, a world | in grave need of its comfort. When a lov- | ing voice, many Easter mornings back, spoke the words of wisdom, “Peace be | unto you”, the sound fell through the ages to be repeated among the peoples of the | earth. But to what avail! The love and | fellowship of man for man, has not vanish- ed from the world, it is there for us, who | are too engrossed to remember that the’ | wisest man has showed us the way. We arise with the radiance of an Easter morning in our hearts, and the les- son of an Easter teaching in our homes. Is it not possible for us to carry this lesson - | into the rest of the year’s calendar? The | resurrection and the rebirth, the chance to | live again, is given to us all. There is no man in Key West who would not improve | himself, his morals, his entire existence, | when given another chance. Life again, | with its foundation based on Peace, is a satisfying picture to a hate-inspired world. | It is Easter that reminds us of the need to | remake, remodel and remove. We would | wash the world clean and purge ourselves of petty hates, unfair practices, smallness in deceit and intrigue both individual and international. We have wanted many a time to remove the unpleasant and un- desirable things in our lives and to begin anew with a fairer and wiser hand. | Throughout the year we slumber in self- | satisfaction and self-pity. We awake on | Easter morn to righteousness, of love. in- | stead of hate, of a new life in a rebirth. Must we be born again to high aspirations with its keynote of love and peace, to die again until another Easter morning awak- ens our spirit? | For those of us who desire and seek have it with us though we do not consider it. Spoken by Him, “Peace be unto you.” NO MORE TOUGH STEAKS? .It has long been the practice to ! “ripen” meats for the wealthy trade by a long and expensive process, whereby they } were made tender and more palatable. | This was achieved by hanging the meats in | coolers with a temperature of 33 to 38 de- grees. This method was expensive because of the time required, which was from four to eight weeks, as it required the use of | storage spade and refrigeration during that period; Meats “tenderized” in such fashion cost wholesale from 70 cents to $2 | or more a pound, according to the AP. But science has again come. to the rescue with a tenderizing process de- veloped at the Mellon Institute in Pitts- burgh, which attains the same results in two or three days, using ultra violet rays. Dr. M. D. Coulter of the institute, who an- nounced the discovery, asserts that the new treatment produces the desired re- sults without affecting the natural flavor, | | juiciness or food value. Under the new process, a_ specially | designed ultra-violet lamp bombards the meat with “bactericidal radiations” for two or three days at a controlled tempera- ' ture of 60 degrees, speeding the break-up | of the connective fibers which cause tough- ness. i It will be grand when.one can order | a tender steak and get it. But until it ac- j crossed. ie A BEST SELLER With a total of more than 45,000 Kampf”, already sold since the publication the answer of what lies beyond, for those , of us who wish the light and the truth, we | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN resounded through the | "Tue ANNAPOLIS OF THE Alla” THE U.S. NAVAL Ale STATION AT PENSACOLA ' 46 THE LARGEST NAVAL AVIATION TRAINING SCHOOL IN THE WORLD, ALL U.S. NAVAL AVIATORS ARE REQUWURED TO GRADUATE HERE; eco SHORT-SHORT STORIES Poccccccccccccscccsancece FRENCH HUMOR—After Na- poleon’s downfall at Waterloo, Gen. Daumesnil, governor of a fort near Paris, was called upon by the victorious Allies to sur- render. To the amazement of the victors, the doughty general sent back the reply that he would ‘do so when the Allies restored to him the Jeg he had lost at the battle of Wagram. WHEN A KING TURNS THE | TABLES—A good story is told of Britain's late Edward VII, who, being after all only human, would tire of the pomp and ceremony which invested every public mo- ‘ment of his life. The folly of the halo cast about every article he touched particularly = wearied him. “You see that chair”, he ,once said in tones of awe to a ; guest, entering his smoking-room at Windsor. “That is the chair the prime minister sat in”. ator David R. Atchinson of Mis- souri was president pro tem of | the Senate when the terms of the llth President and the Vice President under him expired at midnight on March 4, 1849. That day was Sunday and since the newly-elected President had not yet reached Washington to be sworn in, under the Succession Law of that day, Sen. Atchison was the legal President of the United States. He was not sworn in as such, nothing happened that day to require a President’s sig- nature, but Sen. Atchison did get a lot of fun out of it forever after ‘humorously citing his claim to have been the 12th President, the only one never to have signed his name as such, and the only man to have been legally Presi- dent without being elected to that office or to the Vice Presi- dency. A: STORY OF RED TAPE—A railroad agent was once notified by the compamy auditor that his | voucher was two cents out of the , way in favor of the company. The | agent, checking over the account, | wired! back that the auditor was | wrong. The auditor denied it, and wires and voucher went back {and forth over the two cents for a year. and the auditor literally begged the agent to let him fix the books his way. The story of the two cents became a classic on the road juntil one night the agent’s safe | was robbed of all its contents— ‘two cents. Sending in a report of the loss, he got the auditor’s |wire back immediately, “Thank j God!” RUSSIAN MYTHS -« An American visiting Russia lately,, interested in the Communist schools, was taken in hand by a Soviet school guide and shown the sights. As men do, he com- mented on the comparison be- tween the Soviet schools and his town in America, citing now and then wherein American schools were superior.

By BERNARR MACFADDEN in April “Liberty” Mussolini tells us in a recent article in Liberty that President Roosevelt is already a dictator. . . that laws have been passed by Congress in accordance with his instructions. And we will admit that the emergency legislation, created by orders of the President to meet various situations brought about through the first depression, did give him extra- ordinary powers. Various Washington officials have caustically condemned Fasc- ism? It is the control of business bf the government. Over in RuS+ sia we have what we would call commissars, who control every form of business, and the only gel pas rs are the vic- tims of a wiid dream. Pe 1 liberty is a priceless treasure, and God forbid that we should ev it.

Property of all kinds belongs to the community. and Italy their citizens can own property, but in these two coun- tries they have rigid control of Il business. . .that represents Fascism, pure and simple. And any one with an atom of intelligence who has carefully watched the activities of the va- tious Washington officials real- izes, with a clearness that match- es the noonday sun, that what Washington wants is to control business—Fascism. That was evident in the NRA. t It is quite plain in the Child La- bor Bill that the administration had been making herculean ef- forts to pass.
