Es- pecially was there some concern felt and expressed following the unfortunate oc- currence last weekend when “one of the boys” overstepped all bounds of propriety and threatened human loss of life and actually did cause ‘considerable ‘property damage, That one case was indeed unfostonaté, as we say—but, it must be admitted that i too often a certain group or condition is | judged »y the single or minimum excep- tions.

It’s a strenuous | life they lead and, as it so happens, recreational trends are apt to be just as strenuous, Shore patrols, however, and a general raising of the standard in the navy and army nowadays, in regard to character and caliber of men, is showing up with in- creasingly less trouble for civilian popula- tions wherever bases or posts’ ‘are estab- lished. Such, it is quite evident, is the case in Key West. Military yauthorities here keep a watchful eve on their per- sonrels and, with very few exceptions, is no trouble. To those who would criticise the navy boys for whatever escapades they get into —it might be to the point to call their at- | tention to the fact; that indicate no more trouble from that source than from any other group, either resident or visitors to the city. her 1ere RATS The City of Chicago, we understand, | is in the midst of a campaign of extermina- tion against the 5,000,000 rats which city | officials say menace health and cause $7,- | 000,000 damage a year to Chicago build- 1 2nd other property.

The poison is fatal only to the rodents. | While we do not know of any con- certed drive against rats in this vicinity, we do think it worthwhile to urge every- body to use metal garbage containers with | tight-fitting lids. Rats, to live, must eat | and every citizen who leaves food exposed | helps to feed the rats. Not only do rats cause a considerable | property loss every year, but they are be- | lieved to spread disease, particularly bu- benic plague and trichinoses. | eeees JAPAN’S REAL ENEMIES” “The European and American im- pe ialistic powers which are supporting | Chunking are Japan’s real enemies,” For- | eign Vice Minister Chuichi Ohashi tells the Japanese people, reminding: them that | they are “100 times stronger than when | Commodore Perry opened Japan to foreign intercourse.” Nevertheless, there has been a lull in the Far East, following the announcement of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis and the | sudden warning of the United States, tell- ing its nationals to get out of the Far East. Nobody knows what the Japanese | have in mind but, in our opinion, they are ready to’ wait a while before moving too swiftly. They want to see what happens in the Mediterranean and in Europe. ODD FACTS OF NATURE Many interesting and_ little-known | facts concerning all manner of living crea- tures are given in a new book by Roy Chapman Andvews, the famed. explorer and naturalist, who first found ‘dinosaur eggs many centuries old in a Mongolian desert. He confirms the new generally ac- cepted opinion that all | man and monkeys are color-blind, hence the old idea that the sight of red objects make bulls furious is unfounded. But he says that birds, insects and fish can dis- tinguish colors. The most ferocious of sea animals are killer whales, which attack and eat alive other whales twice their size.
