Will Doughtry, who had been on a business visit to Washington, D. G., returned to Key West yes- terday over the highway. Robert Givens, Sr., was in- cluded in the arrivals in Key West last evening over the high- way from Miami, and will spend several days visiting here. Miss Myrtle Johnson. spending several weeks visiting in Key West with relatives and friends, left yesterday over the highway for Miami after The echoes of senatorial debate had hardly died away before there were evidences that, re- gardless of differences of opinion as to the bill itself, the new pol- Mrs. Bowery Hostess |support of all Americans.

Once the policy is fully imple- mented, as will be the case in the event that the war continues for two or more years, the weight of material and equipment’ provid- ed by the United States will gradually overcome the prepond- erance now possessed by Hitler.

After the business of the eve- ning a social hour followed. Mrs. Bowery, assisted by her daughter Mrs. Albert Carey, served a de- licious refreshment course, the color scheme emphasizing the Saint Patrick’s Day idea. Those present at the meeting were: Mrs. W.

Howell, Mrs. Albert Cruz, Mrs. Albert Carey, Mrs. Floyd Bowery, Miss Catherine Knowles, and Miss Miriam Carey. Key West, Players Dance Friday The dance to be given by the Key West Players at the Stork Club tomorrow night gives prom- ise of being a very enjoyable af- fair.

An excellent program df dance music has been arranged, \and it is expected that there will be a large number in attendance. Announcement Of Engagement U.S. Commissioner C.

In fact, as Senator Vandenburg pointed out the day before, roll- calls in the Senate disclosed only |five senators who seemed to be against all-out a ance to Great Britain “short of war”.

Whether our national |policy continues to be “short of war” depends entirely upon what action, if any, Germany, Italy |and Japan take in answer to the! new foreign policy of this coun- try. Our policy will continue “short of war” unless Germany, Italy and Japan declare war upon the United States and, even in this event, it is possible that so far as! Germany and Italy are concern- ed, our efforts will be confined to defensive action, including the possibility that our ships may be In regard to Japan, the situa- tion is somewhat different. Un- doubtedly the action of the American Congr has produced | a profound imp! kyo statesmen. It is generally | recognized that the Japanese are afraid of the tremendous indus- | trial strength of this country and| that Nipon shrinks from a war with us. If, however, in compliance with | the Axis Treaty, Japan goes so far as to declare war against the United Sta in the Pacific, there is a distinct possibility that of-| fensive action against Japan will be initiated. In our opinion, it is doubtful that Japan will declare war upon the United States and if Germany and Italy provoke a clash by attacking us, Tokyo will likely avoid engagement under the Axis by declaring her Axis partners the aggressors. | | Passage of the Lease-Lend Bill was marked immediately by a | presidential request for billions of dollars to implement the new policy. That such a request was [necessary and that Congress must |vote funds to fully implement the policy seems to refute the {idea that unlimited powers have {been placed in the hands of the | President, Certainly wide discre- ; tion has been left to the Chief Executive in determining details jas to the policy, but congression- al appropriation is still to provide the unending flow of supplies that the policy promises the nations which are fighting the aggressors. necessary CARVES REPLICA TACOMA, Wash.—Thomas Ja- cobson of this city has carved a three and a half foot replica of famed Rheims cathedral out of alder, birch and walnut wood.

One woman dug.a right shoe out of the pile, cornered a clerk, and tried it on. She: liked . the shoe and gave the clerk her dol- lar. He went in search of the left shoe. He found the box all right but it was empty. He was searching diligently through oth- er boxes for the missing shoe when he bumped into another clerk who was also searching the boxes for the mate to complete a pair of shoes for his customer. The two clerks compared shoes and found that each one held the mate to the other shoe. Both clerks had been paid for one pair of shoes. What to do! They re- turned to their women custom- ers. Neither woman would give ‘up the idea of that particular pair of shoes. The argument became heated, then noisy. The store manager was called.

Determined that the other woman should never get that. par- ticular pair of shoes and having already paid their separate dol- lars, each woman grabbed a shoe, one the right, the other the left, and stubbornly they left the store, by different doors. Penetrator is stubborn, too. Plaster is going to stick on the ceiling even if she comes out of the ordeal looking like a plaster statue herself. We know, we tried it. We got more plaster in our hair and eyes and on the floor than on the ceiling. But we did get some ceilings plaster- ed although we have several more | to plaster. So we have an in- vention in mind for puny paster pugilists such as Penetrator. We hope to free the world from plas- ter on the floor that belongs on the ceiling. We are going to mix iron filings with the plaster, thus making it metallic. We will place magnets in the attic along the lathes, then we will put the plas- ter on the floor and let the iron- ion upon To-| ized plaster and magnets do the} rest. Com ee This one was a stubborn wom- an, in the making, at the age of two and a half. Her mother had jexplained to her many times that} the fronds of their beautiful fern would die if touched on the ends. The little one had been scolded and spanked on various occasions for touching the fern. One day the mother heard the child screaming loudly and she ran to investigate. There stood the child, in the living room, clutch- ing as many fern fronds as she could hold in both her tiny fist: squeezing them as strongly as she could, and crying great tears ahead of time, for the spanking she knew was coming. For four years their routine had been the same, first she let; the dog out for his morning run, then she made the coffee and breakfast toast while her hus- band shaved. While he poured the coffee she fixed a plate for akfast for the dog, and the dog atched on. the kitchen door ing to come in Breakfast over, all three drove to the sta- tion in the car, and the husband took the commuter’s train to the city and the dog returned home to share their day.
