Small town newspaper publishers do not view the sit- uation with any degree of equanimity. pat nee ack od TWO FOR ONE In the Bible there is a parable about a man who gave unto his three servants five talents, two talents and one talent, respec- tively. The first servant traded with his five talents and made another five. The econd servant did the same with his two, while the third buried his one in the ‘Earth and gained nothing. From that story Key West can learn a valuable lesson. Let us compare ourselyes with the servant of the five talents, or, to simplify it, with the one who received two. Nature bestowed upon the Island City two very definite “talents’—the most equable climate in the United States and the finest fishing grounds anywhere. With no industry here we must rely upon tourists, sportsmen, folks who worship the sun and the air. And what are we doing about it? Nothing. We have buried our “talent” and the rewards, the prosperity that could be ours is going to Miami, Miami Beach, Palm Beach and so on up the coast line. The Citizen takes ihe stu.id as of today that somehow, some way, we must stzrt the ball rolling to publicize and advert se the tremendous advantages thai are ou’s. We must let winter visitors who previously have one elsewhere KNOW what Key West has tu offer. Look what a little judicious publicity has cone for what used to be a barren moun- tain in Idaho—Sun Valley. Enterprising interests built a magnificent hotel, ski paths, a bobsled run, and then they let the world know about it through an_ expert p agent. (Thesame gentleman who, incidentally, made Miami Beach fa- mous.) Look what the same medicine has done for Lake Placid, Banff, scores of other re- sorts. We still have a hangover from ’35. We take the attitude: ‘Well, if anybody wants to come to Key West he can read the high- way signs in Miami and drive down.” It’s tough to admit it, but isn’t it so? Think it over. So th 1941, almost. Time is march- What are we going to do about it? The Citizen, after making a careful survey of a dozen resorts and how they got their start, feels perfectly qualified to make this guarantee: Every dollar spent for ex- pert advertising in the north will bring back two to Key West! Of course, it must be done right. There must be no helter-skelter, half-baked at- tempt. Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well—and it certainly is worth doing. We will have more to say anent this in the near future, but for now, Mr. Key West Merchart, let it roll on-the tongue of your mind. If every merchant here would con- tribute an amount commensurate with the volume of his business—it doesn’t have to be much, either—we could get started. Those extra “talents” would begin to come in. ing. Let’s TELL the world what we have here in the Island City. OLD CLUB RULES The custom among luncheon clubs of the United States, whereby a club is sup- posed to limit its membership to only one of each business or profession, recalls a similar rule of the famous Spectator Club, organ- ized by Addison, the Mnglish essayist, more than tv-o centuries ago. In that day the rule was stated thus: “None shall be admitted into the “lub that in the same trade with any mem- ber in it.” Some other rules of the Spectator Club, however, find no counterpart among the modern regulations governing the Rotary, Kiwanis and similar organizations, but they are nevertheless interesting, the following being examples: “If any member swears or curses, his neighbor may’ give him a aU upon ive shins. MO3 “If any member rats ie. igh: that are rot true, he shall forfeit for every third lie a half penny. “If any member brings his wife into the club, he shall pay for whatever she drinks or smokes. “If any member’s wife comes to fetch him from the club, she shall speak to him outside the door.” The last rule was considered quite necessary in a day when there were no tele- phones, and may have enabled a timorous husband to eseape by the back door while a faithful steward assured his wife that he | Was not at the club.

These give you a chance for real individuality, because you cap get them in traveling kits, in a compact six inches in diameter or in specially-built pocketbooks ant evening bags. Another group of gifts to please’ her are the things she marks as luxurics in her beauty budget: the daytime perfumes which must be “informal fragrance”, the heavier perfumes for evening wear, bubble bath preparations, wash cloths which come as con-| densed disks for the traveler and guest soap which looks like a set of checkers. Among the new are the novel nail polishes in self-feeding tubes also containing the brush. There’s a powder which includes its own base. And a good perfume which‘ a guaranteed deodorant as well.

PARISIENNES PEDAL BIKES IN BLOOMER to be SUITS BORN OF NEED. By AMY PORTER The women of Paris, who used } the | cycles are checked at the a bicycling suit—usually equipped | . with bloomers.

RCUIT, writes that the designers are do-| pr ing their best to keep up style traditions‘even while planning such utilitarian costumes. Miss Maxwell says: The supply of fabrics is lim- ited, so that the slim silohuette is an economic necessity. Spir- its are low, houses are insuf- ficiently heated, and social life is almost non-existent. Some cycle suits have bloom- ers instead of skirts, some have divided skirts like old-fashion- ed riding habits. Sometimes wrep-around skirts are warmed up with flannel under-bloom- ers hitched onto flannel blous- es. Thick-knitted stockings make leg casements for chilly riders, though some women prefer full length tights. or zipper-up hosi- ! ery made of the same material as the suit. Leave Hips Free Windbreaker jackets leave hips free for pedaling. Hoods of tweed or fur are tied on under the chin. Fur-cuffed gauntlets with leather palms keep the icy air from blowing up the arms. Scarfs are but- toned down to keep the ends from blowing in front of the cyclist’s face. Many suits have big saddle- bag pockets slung over the belt, for the convenience of shoppers who must bring their own pack- ages home these davs. One top- coat has big pockets on each sleeve. Removable Skirts More formal cycling suits have hip-long fitted packets; often double-breasted .and re- movable skirts in button-down or wrap-around style*" wotn over bloomers.
