More Hotels and Apartments. Beach and Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Gov- ernments. A Modern City Hospital. Advertising is misunderstood, even by business men who should know it best. Law enforcement officers should have a mind single to one purpose, the enforce- ment of the law. All out aid to England is not because of our love for that country, but for our own protection but remember—short of war. Politicians may be necessary evils but they are the product of their people and eguidn’t stay in office if the people were ahy better than the politicians, Control of the seas is . vital to the cause of civilization and it is up to the in- télligent citizens of democratic nations to recognize the importance of sea power. Bids for the laying of the aqueduct pipe line have been again delayed, and once more a tourist season will come and go before we have water from the mainland. Nazidom and Fascism as well as Com- munistmn. say some, largely came about be- cause Christians and intellectuals lost the @ay or in the common vernacular, missed the bus. With the oft repeated assurance that he will not take us into war, every citizen of the United States owes President Roosevelt unlimited loyalty and unstinted aid in the program of national defense. Senator Pepper's action in asking Con- | bi gress to give President Roosevelt a vote of confidence, reminds us of the aphorism ex- pressed by Marechal Villars when taking teave of Louis XIV: “Defend me from my frierds; I can defend enemies,” Why don’t the Key West realtors ad- Vertise the real estate placed in their hands for sale? Every week The Citizen receives réquests from people all over the United States asking for the “issue of the paper on the day the real estate advertisements ap- pear.” Since there “ain't no such animal”, no papers are forwarded, and the possi- bility is that the inquirers fields and pastures new. Naturally, with so much feverish ac- tivity all over the nation, there will be more accidents in the various plants manufac- turing implements of war, but each should be under suspicion and every effort made by the government to determine their eauses, Edgar Hoover has stated em- phatically that the $25,000,000 Jersey City Tire was not a case of sabotage. How can hé come to that conclusion so quickly, an- Tess his purpose in making the statement is t) throw the scert off possible saboteurs in the hope of catching them inthe next at- tempt.

It is true that property in the years im- mediately preceding 1931 was over-as- | sessed in most parts of Florida. That is to | say, property value at that time so greatly | frequently would exceed the present value of the property. On the other hand, the man who paid this taxes in those years, can only consider | now that he threw the money away. If he | had waited, he could now get a 70 per cent 45 per cent reduction on the years from | 1931 through 1936. | If changed values entitle one non-pay- | ing taxpayer to a reduction, why do not the same changed values entitle the paying tax- ; paycr to a refund? There is little point in going subject now, except for the fact that if the presént policy is pursued indefinitely, this | year’s crop of taxpayers will be getting a the holes in the city streets, A SLUGGING MATCH The death yesterday of Lou Gehrig, former first baseman of the New York Yankees, recalls a slugging match between | the Yankees won by the score of 20 to 13. who hit four home rurs in his first four trips to the plate. In his,fifth time at bat he ‘in center field. Gehrig had a previous record of three | home runsin each of three games. shares with two old-timers the record of was the first to accomplish the feat since did it in 1894, Lowe also hitting four homers in his first four times at bat. Babe Ruth never hit more than three home runs in a single game. In the Yankee-Athletics game men- homers for the Yankees, Lazzeri’s coming in the ninth with the bases full. of seven home runs in a single game by one team tied the all-time record. The complete batting record of the | game: | triples, and 7 home runs. Athletics, runs, BRITISH EXPECT INVASION | This week the British post office will | distribute 14,000,000 leaflets, warning the | people of the island what to do in the event that the enemy attempt an invasion. Prime Minister Churchill calmly. ad- | vises his people to obey instructions when | told to leave their homes. If the attack be- | gins, the people are advised “to stay where you are,” “get into the safest place you can find” and “do not tell the enemy anything.” Above all, do not cumber the roads.” The British officials point out that the greater part of the country will not be im- mediately involved and “even along the coasts the greater part will remain unaf- fected.” Where the enemy lands, or tries to land, “there will be the most violent fighting” and the fewer civilians or non- combatants “in these areas the better.” Apparently, the British are expecting an all-out German attack this year. Mr. Churchill warns that it “may easily be some weeks before the invader has been totally destroyed” but asserts that “whenever the enemy's number requires it” the Home Guards, supported by strong mobile col- ums, “will come to grips with the invaders and there is little doubt, will soon destroy them.” City council evidently thinks so, and to | On thé other hand, it is perfectly fair, | exceeded its present value, that the taxes | reduction on the years prior to 1931 and a | over the | 70 per cent reduction in 1951, and we will | still be looking wistfully at the treasury and | hoping there’s enough someday to plug up | the New York Yankees and the Philadel- } phia Athletics one June day in 1932, which | The hero of the game was Lou Gehrig | grounded out, and in his sixth he was de- | nied nis fifth home hun of the game only by | a sensational one-hand catch by Simmons | He | four home runs in a major league game, and | Ed Delehanty of the Phillies did the trick in | 1896.

Eileen has come on from Den- ver to make a career in radio, and that has not gone well, She also hoped to meet again the man she knows only as Martin, and she has not met Martin. And the money is running low. Chapter 18 Martin Again F RS answered eagerly, as if he took hope from what she said, “But now you kaow that things are different, you will think? And I will make it straight with Molly.” “No,” Eileen said. “I can’t.” She stopped short. “Ris, don’t you see what you're doing to me? I'll have stop working here. And I haven’t any other job, or even money to get back to my home state. Please don’t think of it. I don’t love yous honestly, I don’t. And can't break with’ Molly, as far as it’s gone. Oh, why did you have to feel like this?” “Is it the man you did not send the telegram to?” he demanded eagerly. “Do you love him,still?”. She answered straightforward- ly, “I never did love him. I was just despairing about what to do | and where to turn. He’d said he’d always wait for me. But he got over it.” She iried to laugh. “You're all like that, Why, Ris, in a month you'll have forgotten it’ all about this. Please don’t say anything to Molly.” Ris only said, with the terri- | ble persistence of ‘the gentle, “I will not do anything you do not | want. It was sudden, you haye not seen. I will not say anything to | Molly unless you let me. ina | you will please go on working | here. That would be the worst; | that I had stopped you earning | money... .” | She was about to say proudly that she would go, anyway. But she checked herself. You cannot be proud when you have no money at all, except fifty dol- lars in a savings bank; saved to | be a frail bridge between you and ill luck next time. She had to go on, “Tt is no use Pad staying now,” | he said gently. ; come in, such a wet night.
