IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Voter and Sewerage. More Hotels and Apartments. Beach and Bathing Pavilion. \irports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Gov- wr crnments. A Modern City Hospital. In Germany everything is forbidden s it is expressly allowed. Strangcly enough, the bare-leg fad did not appeal to the girls when silk hose were $3 a pair, A Democracy holds that the more “widely power is diffused among the people “the less likely it is to be abused. Labor leaders should see the hand- | writing on the wall and observe its warning before it is too late. The average workman is a fine fellow; it is the labor agitators who do the dirty work, ; If the Lone Eagle continues in_ his; course he soon will be alone. But that is } characteristic of him. When “we” made the;| trip across the Atlantic, he took no one with|| hint in case of mishap, It was he alone and | the plane, | | Presidert Roosevelt remains unpre-}/ dictable. As a national defense measure}) he is asking that his pet project, the St.|/ «Lawrence Waterway, be constructed, Since} competent engineers have stated that it wil! take at least four years to complete the}! project, how in the name of common sense}/ ean it be used for the nation’s protection in|! the present war, Surely no sensible person} hel it will last that long. Congress t lown t proposition before and it lid ». We need the money for} u more pressing things. California, Texas and Florida furnish on and odd politicians, EPIC (Elimination of Poverty in California) and the Ham and Eggs bill which made the Na- #ion laugh and Californians cry. In Texas there was Ma Ferguson and row “Pass the’ Biscuits, Papy”, odd creatures, Florida has had her Catts, of unpleasant memory, and ‘at present is suffering from the infestation biatant Senator Pepper, It is a peculiarity to observe the Each of this trio of states has fine, ding men ir publie life but we do nn nature alw: | goers who stay too long, can do the city’s | visitors a good turn by pointing out to them | sunburn that it doesn’t take as long to get a painful here as it does on northern | beaches. ' sickness, always hasbeen ; more or less of a joke on the person - | suffers from it. Actually, as most of us have sea- as who For some reason, sunburn, like regarded reason to know, it’s a painful and some- times dangerous business. ~ Some Florida cities employ young wo- | men to suggest to visitors that it’s time to | posted safety | tains ‘two to four times rso much of them, presumably be-- e they are normal, and not human cover up, but since Key West does not, » | residents of the city easily could help to | build up good-will by doing the same thing. The army air corps at Valpariso has regulations in connection with sunburn, and it would be a good idea for bathers here to remember some of them: “The white sand and intense semi- tropical sun of the local beaches are a com- bination of dangers of which hardly any | but the initiate is aware. At these beaches, | | the direct sunlight combined with that re-- flected from the water and white sand con- more ultra-violet rays (which cause sunburn) than those to | be found elsewhere. “The time that you allow your skin to | be exposed must be one half, or even better, one quarter of the time you have been ac- customed to in other sections of the country. a working guide for safe exposure to the sun is as follows: “First day—not over posure. “Each successive day—add two min- 15 minutes ex- utes, “Remember that the skin burns even more rapidly while swimming and almost completely submerged than it does when you are lying in the direct sun on the beach. “The more overcast the sky, the more careful you should be. Days when the sun is not even visible are usually the’ days when really bad burns result. The burn pro- ducing rays are invisible and penetrate the clouds and haze with ease, whereas the | visible rays are partly filled out. ‘Never fall asleep nor allow anyone | | else to fall asleep while lying in the sun at the beach.” SOLDIERS END STRIKE Few Americans fail to approve the re- solute action of the United States Govern- mert in ordering soldiers to take possession of the strike-bound North American Avia- tion Company in California, where a small minority of striking workers tied up the production of airplanes. The cause of labor has suffered serious damage in the past months through the ill- advised action of various labor organiza- | tions, most of which have been local groups. It will take time to erase from the public mind the evil picture that has been spread | throughout the nation, sometimes by those inimical to the cause of labor. Nevertheless, one should remember that laborers themselves, through improper action, have done their own organizations and their fellow-workmen a serious injury. After all, even labor leaders will under- | stand the power of public opinion, once the people of this nation are aroused. They might as well get busy immediately and see | _ that some of these senseless strikes are ended. The picture of grim-faced American soldiers, slowly advancing upon a massed picket line, may not be to the liking of strikers but they will be utterly dense if they do not realize that the ‘people of the United States are standing behind the men in uniform when they take such action. Laborers have only themselves to blame for what they do not like. The produition of airplanes is vital to the safety of this country. The sentiment of our people is against any tie-ups in the plane production line, They do not believe that any just complaint of the Jaborers will be ignored by strike mediation bodies and, consenquently, they, have turned against strikes in plane factories and almost every defense production plant. An older generation believed that a liberal use of the rodmade a boy smart In an emergency and during a war, civilians working on defense projects come soldiers without uniforms, and wher these men strike it is insurrection, and must he not be allowed to spread. | civilized country!

We left quite a lot.” Mary retreated and closed the kitchen door. “You damn young fool!” Lewis said. “Taking advantage of this romantic child’s mistaken cham- pionship to get her into this sort of mess! Eileen, I have a car outside. We ean get a train down. Hurry.” Martin’s old casual manner dropped over him like a cloak. “Don't be so dramatic about messes and all that. Legally, I be- lieve we're still married in New York State, owing to the idiocy of all divorce laws, as*I’ve often heard you say. And none of the people up here have heard a is “So that’s your cad’s game!” “No, no,” Martin said gently. “I was just handing you out a sop to the conventions. You must have flown, didn’t you? Pleasant trip?” Eileen sat very still. She hadn’t enough money of her own for car- fare. Returning with Lewis, who obviously still regarded her as his future wife, was the last thing she wanted. But it looked as if it was there to do. Martin did not seem to think so. He said placidly, “Eileen’s not going back with you, fella.” Lewis went on shouting. “You can’t do this sort of thing in a The board—” Martin said, “It wouldn’t. mat- ter if you had then all out in the| taxi. I've been looking into the terms of my grandfather’s will, when it comes to breaking. My mother and I can each withdraw a third of the Willesdon’s income, and we're thinking of doing it if you stay in control. This isn’t the first report of the sort I’ve had, Lewis. It merely happens to be the first -completely watertight one. Using your power to play thing as powerful for good or evil as the Willesdon Institute annoys the Dane family.” » Exit Lewis HE quietly pushed the shouting, struggling Lewis to the door. He said, gently, “Now take that taxi back to the station. If you make any more row, I’ll have Ike and Frank go down with you, with orders to take you to the police station for creating a dis- turbance. Grandfather owned every utility and building in the village, more or less. So do I. Brutal playboy is unfair to or-/} ganized Delevans.” He had Lewis suddenly neatly | outside, with the door shut.

He gently, quite unex- | pectedly, turned her so that she! could see the rear windows. “Quiet, you idiot child!” he said. “Listen, look out there. That’s Frank sitting in the sta- tion wagon waiting for you. Your suitease is in it. I brought it up from the apartment, it can go} back with you. Hexe’s your hand-| bag, with a hundred and fifty in-| side.” “Let me go, then!” | “Eileen, after driving you three | hundred miles to get a clear field away from Lewis, vou can’t ex-| pect me to send you off with him. } All I want is a chance to talk to you for ten minutes.

What you heard Caroline and me say in the flower shop that night was true. I'd heard | my mother say all my life that a woman ought to be able to say and do anything a man could. I thought I believed it. Well, I know now it’s the bunk. The only reason I didn’t feel sick the night you put it up to me was, it had been happening to me anyway, every way but straight out, ever since I was eighteen. I thought | you were cute, and I thought you might block my being srappest into the engagement with Caro- line Dempster that was darn well closing in on me.” Exit Caroline ‘T RAPPED by Caroline! Haven’t you married her?” “T have not,” he said shortly. “Lewis said—you said we—” He seemed to understand her. “I meant Mother was at the apartment. Not Caroline, good heavens! Listen to me.” Dazed to the point of shock by this news, she sat quietly, while he went on. “That was why I took on your proposition. Understand?” “So you took a crazy chance.” ‘I've, always taken crazy chances, you know that. They’ve been the only things that made me forget the silly trap I was born in.” “I never thought of that,” she said slowly. “Nobody, did. Nobody ever will. Skip that. ‘You put up a proposi- tion to me then. I took it over. I’m going to put one up to you now.” “Well? ¢ “You said that night we met at the flower shop that I was the man you’d always wanted, al- ways made up in your mind. All right. ' show you I am.” He loved her. He must love her. But that wasn’t the point. She clenched, her hands tight. She spoke almost inaudibly. “You're not. That man was honorable. An honorable man would have kept still about our bargain. The per- son you picked to spill it to was Caroline. That’s why I left you. That’s why I’m going now.” She got up. “You crazy? You mean that was why you ran out on me?” She nodded. She couldn’t speak. “Tt was Lewis told Caroline, you dumb little bunny!” “Can you prove it?” He shrugged. “Oh, yes, I can prove it. But if you remember what you know about Lewis your- self, I don’t see why you want more proof.” “No.” It was hard to speak, still. “Lewis is out,” said, “no matter whom you decide for. Don’t expect me to have mercy on a man who’s betrayed my grand- ether’s one big hope and ideal, T'm not too old to take training |} and handle the thing myself. You won’t have any easy life, /Eileen, if you take me on, Not a spot of cafe society in a carload. I’ve found somewhere to put the brains and force and capacity they passed down to me and wouldn’t let me use. I’m taking Lewis’ power, and more. As well as his girl if I can get her. Power to make things so girls in this state —perhaps in this whole country —won't have their backs to the | wall, frightened and half starved and desperate.” “Tm not Lewis’ girl.” “Well, then? Going to play fair? Going to give me_ the chance I gave you? Does Frank take you to the inn? Or to the late express?” He stood further away from j her, leaving her quite free. She looked up at him. She said, yawning a little, “You said I was New York State. I feel awfully tired. Darling—do I have to have Frank take me anywhere?” She laughed. She reached a hand up to where he stood, and pulled the little gold ski from where it hung. She bent ‘over, very occupied, and bit it back on her bracelet, THE END MEASLES SHOW UP ASTORIA, Ore—Jim Assia- metes was ready to be released from jail in this city but his cell-mate came down with mea- sles, and the quarantine kept Assiametes in jail a week long- “I'm sorry, madam attendant at the movie, “but you can't take that dog into the theater.” “How absurd,” protested the woman. “What harm can pictures do a little dog like this?” shower) tonight and Wednes- day; moderate winds, mostly southeast and south Flogida: Mostly cloudy, sional showers and thundershow- ers tonight and Wednesday City, 58 years ago. shorthand Dr. nah, Ga., 43 perhaps wilful disposition, jeasily convinced when there originator, years ago.
