Discussions make: for progress and are often revealing. Financiers are against inflation unless it involves their holdings. An editorial headline asks: ‘Do poets die young?” Our private investigator in- forms us that, unfortunately, the worst ones do not. No matter to what pa:t of the world one goes, people always claim that it is the most unseasonable weather they have ever known, ‘ The cooperation that the nation seeks in the present critical era would not hurt us a bit if we managed to use it in years of relative calm. There has been a rush on for educa- tional pictures recently, but in order to get the crowds the advertising apparently is necessarily sensational. One often hears complaints about the rowdy doings of the so-called “rough. necks,” Meanwhile the smoothnecks don’t | always behave too well when no one is look- ing. In the first World War Germany could win battles but not the war; she.is winning battles in the present European war, but it doesn’t look like she will win this war, either. Again she has bitten off more than she can chew President Roosevelt had a petulant and even bitter dislike for Wendell L. Willkie | and during the late unpleasantness failed to mention him by name in any of his publie speeches, But since Willkie has endorsed his foreign policy with reference to Eng- | land, the President is calling his former arch-foe Wendell.

However, a few days ago an F. I, operative, in discussing the moral conditions of several communities with the writer, made the statement that no town is any better than its police force. This was a revealing observation, and one in which every observant citizen in Key West can concur. Get a clean police force and you will havea clean town. i to carnivals and bingo games. | the American Legion convention? | psychologist of Wittenberg | enough at a person’s back you will It takes something besides wishful thinking to arrange a convention the size and importance of the annual meeting of the Florida department of the American Legion which is coming to Key West April 23-26. Housing arrangements must be made for upwards of 3,500 persons and that in- volves every available room in Key West; | the streets, the line-of-march of the parade and the important buildings must be decorated; prizes totaling in excess of $2,500 must be posted for the bands and fife and drum corps; entertainment must be provided the delegates and their friends. It all costs money, important money. So far the county has been the only con- tributor to the convention fund being raised by the Key West Convention Corporation, which is an organization made up of mem- bers of Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28 and prominent businessmen. The Key West Convertion Corporation has been offered many opportunities to sponsor carnivals, bingo games and fund- raising schemes. Carnivals and bingo games don’t do the business interests of the city any good. They take money which ordi; narily would go into business. They strangle trade. Most of our businessmen know this. They have gone on record a3 being opposed Now what are our business leaders going to do about The an- swer of this question will likely be outlined at a meeting of businessmen at county court- house on Monday night beginning at 8:00 o’clock. Our businessmen had better take an interest in this meeting. It may prove their relief from additional carnivals and bingo games. LEND-LEASE FORECAST Shortly after the pecaiuents 's lend-lease bill was presented to Congress, Richard Strout, Washington correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor, made a forecast of what would happen to it. Briefly, he made the following predictions: The bill will pass, in all probability, but it will be amended. The amendments will GRAND SUCCESS (Continued from Page One) a performance by son, the famous Suicide Zorsky. This act showed many of the juggling tricks which made Zor- sky famous the wor!d over.

During the minstrel the Inter- locutor, Gerald Saunders, present- ed Leo Spaeth, director of revue who came to Key West from the John B. Rogers Producing Com- pany. Mr. Spaeth was persuaded by Mr. Saunders to entertain the audience with-a number charac- teristic of the dance when he star- red in silent movies.

There may be a bitter fight on the bill, especially if debate is long drawn out. Fair- | ly quick action is expected, -but probably not in less than five or six weeks. Some limitation of the authority pro- posed to be given the President is likely, as those who drafted the bill no doubt asked for more than they expected to get, and more than the President expects. The votes on amendments and on the bill as a whole will not split along party lines. Some Democrats will be against and some Republicans will be for the bill. The final vote, after amendments are threshed out, will be heavily in favor of the bill. While the foregoing are only Mr. Strout’s personal predictions, they seem about as plausible as can be made in the early stages of the bill’s consideration. There is little opposition to liberal aid for Britain, the ‘main issue being over the specific powers Congress is willing to grant the President. BELIEVING NONSENSE Most high school graduates look upon life with minds befogged with superstition, according to Dr. H. J. Arnold, eminent College, who recently enumerated a few of the silly be- liefs he found prevalent among them. Upon asking freshmen entering chology classes last year to submit to aminations on their beliefs and disbeliefs, he discovered that 50 per cent or more than 200 believed that women have powers of intuition with which men are not equipped ; that expectant mothers can mark their un- born by frightening experiences; that Beavers know when to prepare for a long psy- ex- | cote winters; that red makes a bull wild; | that chess develops power of concentration. Nearly half of them believed that dogs howling foretold death, that long slender hands indicate an artistic nature, that civilization is almost entirely a product of the white race, and that if you stare long force him to turn around. As many as 25 per cent still cling to the idea that a receding or stream-lined chin denotes lack of will power, that silent men are deep thinkers, that fat ones are always good-natured. And every one of the ideas mentioned are without the slightest foundation in fact, jsays Dr. Arnold. U. S. WEATHER: Observation takin at 7:30 a, m 75th Mer.

Mil- lions were spent to expand lo- cal and long distance facilities and other millions were ex- pended for preparedness proj- ects, At the same time, the numerous and varied govern- mentalandindustrialemergency needs were filled promptly. Nearly 300,000 new tcle- phones were installed and about 180,000 taken out, making a net gain for the year of more than 110,000, Sixty-eight new central offices were built and put into service. Twelve of these were new exchanges while fifty- six replaced manually operated offices with the newest type dial equipment. Rural sections also shared liberally in this program, The gross expenditures for new construction and replace- ments exceeded $40,000,000. Tt was a year of outstanding accomplishments achieved un- der exceptional conditions, The thousands of telephone | men and women responsible for this work are justly proud of the results, They begin the new year confident in their ability to meet the fucure telephone require- ments of this fast growing sec- tion of the nation.
