Is the inversion of folio and date line j in a Miami paper an invention or did the make-up catch the devil? Our hint to advertisers: Have you ever overlooked something that was con-! stantly called to your attention? Harold L. Ickes, seeretary of the In:/ terior, says, “We must not allow ourselves noises.” Listen, who’s talking! POE AES sentiment strike” legislation continues for strong with every indication that some measure will be | passed and sent to the White House re-/| gardless of the President’s initiative. A spender may be praised for his liberality and generosity, but doesn’t it say i that a fool and his money are soon parted. Better be wise and put some of your earned increment aside for the inevitable rainy day. Again death takes a toll in maneuvers. F Fourteen soldiers lost their lives within a week in the First Army of North Carolina, | and their deaths should be accounted just as glorious as if the sacrifices were made on the battlefield. “When you're in a war, somebody has to, be the boss and for our part we would f like to see Mr. Roosevelt start dishing out the- orders withoutvone eye cocked on “Ipbah” and the other on the Gallup poll.” 25 8.

Séntenced originally to remain at the | youth was released six months ago, either through a misplaced sense of parole board pity or because the state preferred to saddle | the county with the expense of caring for him. Whatever the reason, the result is that the youth is confined in county jail | after a series of robberies which he is per- iectly willing to admit. His 18-year-old ac- cemplice and cell-mate, incidentally, is | another parolee whe came here after hav- ing been released from reform school in | Louisiana. Neither law enforcement officers nor The Citizen have any desire to persecute either of the boys, but their release from }.reform school (or, more euphemistically, | gtate industrial schools) is a crime into | which‘the element of pity or mercy does not | enter, In the first place, the local boy, him- self, has told officers repeatedly that he did not want to be released until he had been given 2 chance to get the education and industrial training which he has no oppor- tunity to get for himself on the “out- side.” Secondly, the boy is a definite menace to any community in which he is released. t 16, an age when most boys are begin- | ning to approach maturity, the boy now | held in county jail has a crimina! record extending back almost to his babyhood—a record of breaking and entering, terrorism, } and, in one ease, a holdup at the point of a gun. | From any standpoint under the sun there can be no excuse for his release, and the law enforcement officials of Monroe county will be aiding inthe protection of this community if they make that plain to the officials of the .industrial school at | Mariana and to the officers of the parole board. We can temper justice with mercy, but | we must reach a point where it is necessary to dilute merey with common sense. WHERE WAS HE IN 1921? We confess that we like to read what the economists say. These bright boys can take a few figures, a chart or two and some established trends and tell you offhand | what is going tohappentothe nation and | the world in the next generation, or so. Sometimes, to our inexperienced mind, they go slightly astray. Such an instance, it seems, is the statement of Sumner H. Slichter, of the Harvard “Business -School, | | who says that “prices more than de | after World War Né-t and we didn’t GO Meg: the dogs.” ‘We wonder where the brother was in 1921! “a } He adds, “We hada decade-of our greatest prosperity,” which leaves us limp. The war ended in 1918 and the United | States had its initial depression from the de- | flation of 1920. Afterwardsthere was a period of so-called prosperity, which missed agriculture being bolstered largely by for- | eign loans which were lost, and then the nation catapulted into the lowlands of the + early thirties. WINS A FAKE LOTTERY Nearly fourscore men and women have been indicted by the Federal government im a lottery case because of a typographical error which made a barber in Indianapolis lose his temper. It appears that the promoters of the lottery printed«fake newspapers, carrying datelines in Havana, which listed the win ning numbers in previous lotteries. These newspapers, ‘shown to prospective cus- tomers. were persuasive and clinched the | sale of tickets in fortheoming drawings. One of these fake newspapers, which | listed “winning numbers,” was shown to the then shouted with joy. By some strange error, the list of “winning nymbers” in- is ‘the arrangement et le a ha aang on the coast tonight and Thursday. ey ft tea | barber's complaint, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN THANKSGIVING SERVICE | AT “UPTOWN” CHURCH A special Thanksgiving serv- ice will be hel ne Fleming Street Me ehurch 11 ning.
