Carroll made fortunes by “Glorifying The American Girl.” Mr. Carroll was so sincere in his art that during the Prohibi- tion era Uncle Sam invited him to become his star boarder for 2 year and a day in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta. Reason: Mr. Carroll presented, amid the fanfare of trumpets, a completely nude young lady taking a bath in champagne on thestage of the Earl Carrol] Theater in New York. Maybe that was, indeed, “art’”—but it | unfortunately conflicted with the Federal Morals Act. Here in Key West there are several amateur and definitely less artistic gentle- men whose stage presentations would be a ! pienic for anyone representing Federal law enforcement. Two so-called “night clubs” have al- ready come to the attention of The Citizen whose managements present girls from 15 to 18 years old in the nude. The show at one of these dives can plainly be seen by anyone from out on the street. Yes, sir—for no cover charge, without even buying a beer, you may see everything that isto be seen, which is plenty! Strip teasers, kootch dancers, swivel- hipped lassies who make the rhumba look like epilepsy, and a dozen other variations ere to be witnessed gratis—from the side- walk. That’s fine, if you want to look at it that way. It is amazing what - theatrical enterprise we harbor here in the Island City. | But, look, gentlemen—why not invest a few dollars in a swinging door or a set of Venetian blinds? You would be accom- | plishing three things: 1—You would make money because the throngs that stand on | the outside would be obliged to enter your | portals and buy something. 2—You would | automatically eliminate sidewalk clogging. 3—You would make a much, much better | impression on Key West visitors. The way it is now you just MIGHT of- fend somebody. ANTARES LOSES DISTINCTION The largest star, we are advised, is not Antares, as formerly believed, but Ras Al- gethi, in the constellation of Hercules. i This revelation comes from the As- | tronomical Society of the Pacific, which recently George Herbig college | sophmore, explain calculations proving that | Ras Algelthi is so large that, if it were hol- there would be room inside for the sun | and the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, all revolving in their present orbits. The new giant is 800 times larger than ; the sun, mez asuring 690,000,000 miles in | diameter. Poor Antares, erstwhile largest star, is not even second, according to this new cal- culation which puts it in fourth position, measuring only a_ pitiful 245,000,000 in diameter. Second place goes to Mira, 3,- 895,000,000 miles across and third place is gained by Betelgeuse, with a varying di- ameter between 260,000,000 miles. It is pointed out that previous | mates of star sizes were based upon ob- | servations made twenty years ago. Ac- curacy of distance measurements have been vastly improved. } While we present this information for the benefit of readers who desire to be up- to-the-minute on their astronomy we do not guarantee the figures. heard | low, A CORRIDOR TO ALASKA The United States and Alaska are rated by the territory of the Dominion of C is about as good a friend, apparently, as a ration could possess, there has been discus- sion about the possibility of securing a cor- ridor to connect the United States and Alaska. Anthony J. Dimond, delegate in Con- gress from Alaska, estimates that a good road te close the gap between Hazelton, Canada, and the existing Alaskan highway system, could be built for $25,000,000. The through highway has been ad- vocated, in the past, as a means of freeing military outposts in Alaska from depend- ence upon a long sea route. Naturally, with the Army and Navy enlarging their bases in Alaska this is more important. Whether Canada would approve the granting of such a corridor to the United States is ancther question but the highway could be constructed, perhaps, under con- ditions that would meet the approval of Canada and the United States if there were | no cession of Canadian sovereignty. esti- | anada and while our northern neighbor | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘STONE CHURCH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH E anday eendae eth Street hool, 9:39 a. m. morning service, Exton, Simonton Streets o'clock.

Golden Text: “Glory 20 Our lesson th Christmas lesson and uses Luke s account of the annunciatuen the angels to the shepherds of the birth of Jesus. This story—the simplest and yet the most sublime story in the New Testament—s one that appeals both child not yet old enough and to the man or woman at home with the worlds literature. It is 2 story of whch we never tire. It lives wath ever increasing imterest, became tells of the birth of densa gift to man—and because was and is the world’s Save even as the angel declared In response to a decree of Cac- sar Augustus, Emperor of Heme that a census of all of the mhab itants of the Roman Empae & made, Joseph and his espuuse wife, Mary. journeyed from ther home in Nazareth a distance of about seventy miles Betinie hem, the city of Dawid whuch =e the ancestral home of Joseph. enrol] themselves.

Lord, shining with the glory of *the Lord. These humble men — were frightened at the occurence not knowing what to do or think But the angel said. “Fear not. for. behold, I bring you good tidimgs of great joy, which shali be to al people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David. a Saviour, which is Christ. the Lord. And this shall be 2 sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe * wrapped in swaddling clothes. lying in a manger”. And. appar- ently in order to add emphasis + the wonder of the announcement just made, a host of angels joimed the first one, bursting imte song of joy and praise and sayimg “Glory to God in the highest. and on earth peace, good will toward aie Ps Immediately following the re- turn of the angels into heaven the shepherds made ready to de as bidden. They left their sheep gtazing on the hillside and “came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying im a * manger”. This was just as the * angel had said and, delightfully they began to tell everyone about this wonderful thing which had been made known unto giorfiying and praising God for ‘all the things which they had heard and seen. “But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart” not seem out- as them the wondrous birth was to le shepherds? If we had had privilege of making this em nouncement we woulc probably have made it to the most impert- ant person in the world at that time—Augustus Caesar. who had been unwittingly used to fulfill prophecy im that long before & had been prophesied that the Messiah, the Saviour, would be bora in Bethlehem. Or, we might have thought it best to give this | wonderful news to the religious leaders of the day—surely they should be most intérested im such an announcement. God does not always do his works in what we consider the most conventional ways. These shepherds. though probably poor im this world’s goods, were more nearly prepared Special services at 5 o'clock ¢ ‘Christmas Day morning.
