Right at the moment, there is the ques- ‘tion of whether barbers should charge the same rate to bald men as to those with hair, but the legislature has other things to con- | sider, too. _ Here are some of the ones they studied last week: A bill to be entitled an act to provide punishment for the exhibition in the same enclosure of animals which by their natural instincts are antagonisti¢ to @ach other; A bill to provide for the punishment of operators of motor vehicles in this state who hit or injure any dég and depart from the scene. of the accident. without render- ing such assistance as will.safeguard the | life 6f the dog; | A bill to punish any person who makes | any false statement to aivothér concerning any hotel, inn or apartment house with the | intention of inducing such person to enter, lodge at or to become a guest of any other hotél, inn or apartment house; A bill making it unlawful for the city of Miami Beach to employ any person re- lated to any city councilman or department | head of said city within the fourth degree; ] A’ bill to prohibit the establishment or | organization of fraternities, sororities or other secret organizations whose member- | ship consists in Whole or in part of pupils | enrolled in the public sehools of the state of | Florida; A bill providing for the recovery of | damages by persons bitten by dogs; A bill changing thé hate of the town of River Junction, a municipal corporation, to “Chatahoochee”, “ And that’s what senate life is made of! | GREELEY’S HANDWRITING Many storiés have béen told about the | notoriously poor handwriting of Horace Greeley, the great editor, who founded the New York Tribure just a century ago, in | 1841. , His writing was a Constant night- printers on the various newspapers which he published during his journalistic career. One printer, being given one of Gree- exclaitned: “My God, if Belshazzar had seen writing like this on the wall he would have been more terrified than he was.”” Later, it is said, Gréeley wrote a | memorandum to his foreman, telling him to discharge the same printer because he | made 8 many typographical errors. Be- g the shop, the printer asked to § to keep the memorandum as a uvenir. He then carried it to another tior from Greeley, arid obtained a job im- mediately. A couple of years beforé his death, Greeley was invited to lecture in Sandwich, Il!. He wrote in reply that he was greatly overworked, and 48 he would be sixty years old on February third, he did pot feel able to accept the engagement. After much labor in trying to decipher the letter, about all the committee could make out was the “sixty” and the “Pebriary third.” Finally they guessed that Greeley meant to say that he would lecture for sixty dollars on February third, and they wrote him that the fee and date named would be satisfactory. GREECE WILL LIVE The fate of Greece, defeated by§ the combined power of Italy and): Gertginy, should not be needlessly deplored. The Greék race, throughout the world, holds its head high. Once fiore the soldiers of the tiny nation have demonstrate their worthiness of great ancestors and have placed humanity ih théir debt through the example that they have set fot other free men to emiilate. No reproach exists for the armies of Greece. Their heroic struggle against over- whelming 6dds has added glory to an illu> trious history.

Timken employs more than 8,000; Republic Steel near- by, double that number. “In fact, a serious labor shortage is now facing the town—which six months ago had thousands on its WPA rolls.

It is certainly well named—makes only three stops in 300 miles, which it covers in five hours—that's better than 60 per, which is going some. for a daily steam train, without extra fare, on the Boulevard of Steel!

KEY1 WEST IN _ -y,DAYS GONE BY Happenings On This Date Ten Years’ Ago As Taken From Files Of The Citizen Woran’s club members were up in arms today over the re- +moval of a poinciana tree on Eliza- beth street betwéetrSdutharthdnd Angela, which’ théy ‘deseribe as the finest spetitien in the city. Members of the ¢lub .went to ; Mayor Curry in protest when they learned the tree had beeh cut down by men acting for the owner of the adjoining property. Cut- ting, or even trimming, a tree on the parking strip is a violation of a city ordinance, unless permis- sion is granted by the mayor's of- fice. Personels—J. H.

Almost every city along the east Coast from Miami to the tip of Maine has a pulmotor and hun- dreds of lives have been saved by them. The fire, and police de- partments of Miami haye been trained to operate these life sav- ing machines, an they have proved to be very effective not only in drownings but in cases of suffocation, gas poisoning and electric shock. At the scene of the accident on Trumbo Sunday morning, a man, who’understands the operation of pulmctors.was heard to remark that there were great possibilities of eVviving at least one of the un- fortunate persons who met death by @tewning, if a pulmotor had y tr been available. Kev West could surely afford at least one of these apparatuses. The cost in dollars would be neg- ligible when one considers the in- valuable services it wili render in life saving. The city can well go without something else for a while in or- der that a pulmotor be purchased for, after all, What is more —im- portant than sqving lives. A CITIZER. Key Wrst, Florida.

And in another'place' I was squinting at some figures where it showed how many hours different people work. Most of ‘em were around 7 hours but some got down to 6, hours. And nobody works except 5 days in a week. If you work 7 hours, it is from 8 to around four-thirty, and with | the sun coming up around 6 and! setting around 6, there is already 2 hours excess daylight at each end. What evervbody is gonna do with the super-extra daylight sav- ing being proposed, stumps me. But one fellow told me he thinks he golf folks are believed the whole idea. Anybody knows, he cays, that the longer the day the more golf balls you can lose. But Henry says, “Jo, did it ever per- colate through your cranium that the shorter the day, the more double-time you get?” You gotta get uv early to fool Henry. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. U.
