He has leased the home of General and Mrs. Frank Andrews in the Martello Tower section where he can enjoy the salty breezes blowing in off the Atlantic. What was Mr. Tugwell’s.. principal reason for coming to Key West.in Septem- ber? A victim of hay fever, M¥. Tugwell was in utter misery in his northern en- vironment. Hay fever may be funny to | some folks, but the victims suffer the tor- tures of the damned. The affliction is often mixed up with asthma, which in it- Tugwell was smarter than some victims of the malady. He looked around for a spot where the air is free of rag weed and other |. pollen which aggravates if it does not | create the hay fever condition. Somehow jhe learned that at Key West the atmos- i pheric conditions were ideal and _ here | he is. | The lesson to be drawn from this?

This makes the sound track, which is nothing more nor less than a series of horizontal light mark- i corresponding. with ‘the electric waves, sent from the mike. In projecting this sound track and photo track, both of which are synchronized, the photoelectric cell is again used. Light is played through the track on the, cell. This . photoelectric cell is composed partly of a tele- graphic, magnet and . combines other telephonic principles. Thus light on the photoelectric cell starts it working according to the sound track. Vibrations thus set | 4p, which correspond to the hu- {man voice or other sounds, are then sent through a loudspeaker behind the stage and thus sound moviés get to the audience. without fear and without favor; never be afraid to attack wrong or to applaud right; always fight for progress; never be the or- gan o: the mouthpiece of any person, clique, \ling sight.

When the city gets around to the es- tablishment of a proper advertising and publicity bureau, the idea of bringing hay fever victims to Key West would be worth ‘some thought and action. Hay fever vic- ‘tims who have money will go to the ends of the earth to escape their annual travail with misery. Having money they can af- ford to come to Key West just as well as any other place. Let’s bring them here and enjoy their largess while they are en- joying peace and comfort in our sunny climate and pollen-free air. in-between ONE SURPRISE OF THE WAR One surprise of the war has been the failure of Germany to attempt any mass bombing attack upon large British and French cities. Before hostilities began, it was taken for granted that the mighty air arm of Ger- many would be used to blast the populous areas of enemy countries. This has not happened except in Poland where German planes have wreaked destruction in cities of little military importance. It may be reasoned that Hitler’s pres- ent scheme is to whip Poland, take what heswants:in the East and attempt to se- cure peace in the West. In order to facili- tate this manoeuver he does not wish, at. ‘this time, to intensify the feeling ‘of the British and French against Germany, It has been suggested that.the reason August and September are among the | | ber are the worst months for hay fever | contagious | THE PELICAN “CURIOUS MONSTROSITY.

How- evér, this time it appears that Hitler has | over-reached himself for England and | France have decided that Hitlerism must | be smashed, of Great Britain. Certainly, when the ‘fighting began the British were not as fearful of aerial punishment as they were last Fall. Maybe, Hitler and his aides know that, in the long run, the British and French will outbuild the German air fleet and, as a safety matter, he does not wish to inaugurate indiscriminate bombings that will cause intensive retaliation. FREE SPEECH—LIMITED Americans boast of free speech but, very often, it only means that they ad- agree with them. This ‘is illustrated, it seems, by the re- where a mob of some 5,000 ci up a small meeting of Communists in the city hall. The presence-of 200 policemen was insufficient to permit a little free speech. It might as well be understood that Communism, however wrong it may be, is not strong enough in the United States to much as the suppression of their liberties. ‘When mobs or officials can break up @ meeting, authorized by law, the law is use- less. So is the freedom that it guarantees. vocate freedom of speech for those who | cent occurrence in San Antorid, Texas, injure the people of this nation nearly as | ‘proximately $200.
