The Citizen’s policy in this respect has always been to print ad- vertigements on the first page up to 50 per cent, but that quota is seldom reached, and | only during political campaigns. Newspapers in Germany are being | printed from potato plant fibers. A few days ago the Thueringer Gauzeitung printed its issue of 100,000 copies on paper manufactured from the fiber of the spud. It was the first time this was done and the | experiment was successful. Presumably | the publishers of newspapers do not have to fear for lack of newsprint, if the potato fiber will yield the pulp from which the | paper is made, That’s a nice prospective | Take by-product for the potato-growers of this , your thoughts, your life philosophy and | At ait | your activities in middle age. 5 country. | city, state and nation. | long, long time. -embership in the troops | cellent program of interesting activities of- | | praise from one and all, { demonstrate an abundance of what properly.

HOLES IN THE DYKE During the course of the past ten 1 years, the business world has undergone a series of vital changes which have affected its very foundation. Business methods j were, of necessity, altered to meet chang- | ing conditions, conditions which have | made it difficult for some businesses to keep going. Most of us remember the story of the little Dutch boy who saved the town by using hi$ thumb to plug the hole in the dyke. That may, perhaps, seem quite ir- | relevant to the subject under discussion, | but let us regard the business world as an | immense dyke which has suddenly sprung | a number of leaks. Unless those holes are | plugged our commercial well-being will be endangered. 8 “ ‘Let eadh'$f us assume the responsibili- ties which are rightfully ours; let each of us strive for the solution of problems which we are best fitted to solve. Only in this way. through longtime, long-term plans of procedure can the ailments of the busi- ness world be solved. Let each of us stop the leak in the dyke which endangers our | particular vocation, and in so doing, con- tribute to the general well-being of so- | ciety. FACING OLD AGE Age depends on one’s state of mind as well as upon the number of his years, ac- cording to Dr. Donald A. Laird, who gives | six rules for avoiding an unhappy, grouchy old age. Condensed, they are: 1. Keep in good health. Avoiding worry will work wonders. | 2. Maintain an intellectual interest in 4 many things. ae 8. Enjoy your relatives and children, but don’t live with them if you can .apos- sibly avoid it. 4. Mingle with the younger crowd, at least occasionally. Retain membership in your club, lodge and church, and be active. 5. Choose hobbies and _ recreations which keep the hands busy, the mind oc- cupied. 6. Prepare for old age by organizing THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Asante tage tr Sounds Sitgccesaneat doesn’t it? But that’s exactly the purpose behind the arrangement of the ultra-modern kitchen of the air-conditioned home in the Town of Tomorrow at the New. York World's Fair. Scientifically planned and arranged, the kitchen — measuring 12 feet 4 inches long by 9 feet wide—was de- pe for “production line” cooking, ine me’ in the modern Ty, saves needless steps and eliminates waste motion and resulting fatigue. “Production line” cooking reduces to an absolute minimum the amount of time the housewife has to spend in the kitchen. According to engineers and home economists, who designed the kitchen of the World’s Fair home and then equipped it with scientifically placed electric refrigerator, electric 1: . cupboards and built-in cabinets with work table tops, the arrangement re- sults in a reduction of the’ number of steps the housewife has to take while carrying out her culinary duties. Following the “production line” method, which in factories saves time and eliminates “back-tracking,” the housewife using this kitchen cannot help but follow an efficient, planned route when preparing meals. She works around the kitchen in a coun- ter-clockwise direction, starting at the electric refrigerator (where raw terials are stored); then proceeding to the sink (where materials are proc- essed), and last arriving at the elec- tric range (where the materials are finally prepared and from which they are served). From the electric refrigerator to the sink, she has to take no more than three steps. She covers’ the distance from the sink to the electric range in only two and a half steps. And she has only to take two and a half-steps from the electric range back to the refrigerator. From electric range to workshelf and cupboards: at the op- posite end of the kitchen, the distance is only slightly more than three steps and it's just three steps from the electric refrigerator to this point. Further enhancing the efficiency of this modern kitchen is the new-type strip wiring at the junction of the walls.and the table-high workshelves. At 6-inch interyals appear outlets, to which such electrical appliances as WORKSHELF AND CABINETS UNDER WORKSHELF AND CABINETS UNDER mixers, toasters and irons can be handily attached. This is a further step-saver, for the user of the kitchen can connect any electrical appliance at whatever point in the room she stands, without delay or getting mixed up in cord. Pedometer tests have shown that under old-fashioned conditions of work, where no heed was; vid to con- venient arrangement, the cook or housekeener often traveled as much THE ISLAND CITY. | CANNING FACTORY, which will come later in connection with | the W.P.A. garden project, will; put up for future use vegetables | |publicly call attention to lagging! matters in the beach proposition. !

ONE OBJECTION from the! relief viewpoint, which was rais- ed to canning sea foods, is that it is only a seasonal business at best. The idea is to can the de- lectable Atlantic kingfish and mackerel, which frequent the wa- ters around Key West, and no farther north, at the height of winter. Also to be canned are crawfish, stone crabs. This writ- er knows of a tomato canning factory outside Indianapolis; In- diana, which works but two months of a year, just after the tomato crop is rippened. Work for the three months of the king- fish and mackerel season in Key West would be work for that pe- riod for Key Westers atleast. It means: that outside money, . by avin ihe products,’ will be em- loyinig of Westere yand jtymeans another source o} rene for the heach. “ Now 'it seems. .the . city will get the entire stretch of) beach and also save money by, his Nez Perces to surrender after a five-day siege. c r 1881—International Cotton Ex- | West in again hecoming a candi- | having it under the non-profit | position opens in Atlanta—first|date for the office of city .coun- | “I have acceded to the wishes of a number of the voters of Key group, which monies may be put; world fair to be held in the|cilman”, said Miss Lena Johnson ‘back into further development of the beach.
