Thus, in Army recruiting stations all over the nation, emphasis is currently being placed on the enlistments of the 18 an1 19- ! year-cld youths. And to bolster these en- listments, the War Department has so re vised its regulations so that those who vol- unteer immediately may have their choice of serving in any one of 13 branches of the | ever before been offered to this group. interest will And certainly it is to his best io have broadminded parents, who their growing older tary service regardless of whether lists now or later.

He has his choice of serving either in the Quar- termaster Corps, Chemical Warfare, Ord-, nance Department, Medical Department or | Corps of Military Police—in addition one of the combat branches. In taking this step, however, he has not only assured himself of the branch of the Army in which he will serve, but he has provided himself with an excellent chance of becoming a commissioned officer. ra) CARRYING WAR TO ITALY Coincident with the beginring of the | battle in Egypt the British have delivered some stupendous aerial attacks upon key Italian cities. Naturally, the objective is to is- erganize Italian shipping facilities in or- der to prevent the dispatch of supplies and} reinforcements to Gen. Rommel. The aerial offensive is apt to produce arother result. Certainly it will tend dispel the equanimity with which che Italians have regarded the bombing of Ger- man centers, cS For some strange reason there seems to exist an idea, not altogether missing i this country, that it is good strategy to treat the dtalians as friends. The belief per- sists, in some quarters, that we can even- iually win Italian opinion and, maybe, pave | the way for a bloodless victory. This is a fo@ish idea, it seems io us. The best way to put the fear of God into | Italian hearts is to give them a taste of the | medicine they doped out to the Spaniards, i the | the Ethiopians, Greeks. So far we can see, succes strategy in war makes it necessary to take a declaration of war against us as a matter of business, requiring a business-like reply. The Italians decided to declare war upon the United States, in support of their allies the Japanese, and it is our duty, ju as possible, to convince them, that makin war upon the United States is no monkey business. the Albanians and as LOOSE TALK FROM SPAIN General Franco, dictator and his Foreign Minister and brother-in- law, have recently made some bristling speeches, hinting that Spain is a great power on the field of battle and suggesting | that Spaniards might be called upon in the near future to fight for their country. From Washington, however, through the writings of Thomas J. Hamilton, in the New York Pimes, we learn that these speeches are “not viewed with excessive conecern.”” The explanation is that there are no noticeable preparations ir Spain io | take any offensive action against Gibraltar, French Affrica or Portugal. of Spain, Well, not so many years ago, we were | not alarmed at the mouthings of Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler and the War Lords of Japan. We have a better understand- ing now of what these public addresses meant and it is at least possible that Franco and Suner, in their speeches, are forecast- | ing a policy that augurs no good for the United Nations, son, } i case of the average young | tellow of 18 or 19 years of age who vol- to | fut | st as 300n | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN fast-growing Army, ‘hough | Charter 18 The Damage Done [2 WAS a funny sort of situation, Susan reflected that night. In a blaze of anger she had phoned her father long distance and had taken him to task for his secret visit with Todd..Hot tears had jumped to her eyes, she had been so furious. He had tried to explain but she made it quite clear she would ac- cept no explanation. Finally, after he admitted he was sorry she cooled down somewhat. He even promised to write a note of apol- | ogy to Todd. | Never mind, she had told him. | It was too late, now. The damage had been done. The damage was done, all right, Susan thought, and there was nothing she could do about it. The next move was up to Todd. She wasn’t going to chase after him even if she wanted to. Until now she had done all she could to help him because he was a swell kid who needed lots of help, but this —well, this was different, very much different. It certainly wasn’t her place to; { tell him, frantically, that he didn’t have to honor her father’s wishes, that he could see her all he want- ed to. The rebellion would have to stem from his own desires. It would have to be his commitment, especially so since her father’s visit had been a secret one and she, supposedly, didn’t know a thing about it. Trinidad Club DEtECIVE SERGEANT LAKE walked inte the district at- torney’s office and drew up a chair with a quick motion. “I just ran down something that might be a clue,” he said. “I had a chat with that Dr. Stephen Coulter. I asked him about Hum- | phries’ personal habits —every- thing he knew about them—and after a while ne mentioned that he believed Humphries liked to gamble. So I nosed around a bit | and found out he was supposed to have been seen out at Riley Beck- ett’s Trinidad Club.” “So Humphries liked to gamble, eh?” said Hinton. “It might be worthwhile for us to find out to what extent.” “I figure the same thing. I think Yll wander out there tonight and chin a bit with Beckett.” Joe, the doorman, knew Lake, and grinned widely as he ad- mitted him. “Well, if it isn’t Sher- lock Holmes,” he bantered. “Come | out to play the nickel slot-ma- | chines?” Lake snorted. “None of that small stuff for me, Joe, you know | that. Where are the quarter ban- dits?” Then seriously he said, in?” Joe motioned toward a door at the side of the room. It opened into a corridor leading to Beck- ett’s private office. Lake knocked and the door was opened by a short, blond man wearing a dinner jacket. “Well, well,” the blond man “Riley said. “This is 2 pleasure. Look who's paying us a visit, Riley.” “Social or professional, Lake?” Riley Beckett asked good n2- turedly. “Both,” said Lake, dropping into a chair. Beckett offered him a cigarette and he took one. He accepted a light from a gold} Beckett held for him. A Lot Of Money lighier “DQ ILEY, how often did Philip | Humphries drop in here?” Beckett, toying with an ivory- handled letter opener, pursed his lips. “Oh, not very often. Two or three times a month’ at most, I should judge.’ “Alone?” “Nearly always. Once he brought a friend from Detroit, I think it was. girl, but mostly he came alone.” “A girl—who was she?” “Don’t know exactly. A college | trim - looking | girl, maybe. A blonde with the neatest pair of gams you ever saw in your life. She just came to look, though, she didn’t play.” “A good-looking blonde, eh?” he ; repeated. phries usually play?” “A little roulette, a little twen- ty“one. Once in a while he gave the dice tables a play. Mostly roulette, though. He once won $10,000 one night in France and he never forgot it,” Beckett smiled. “They never do.” “Riley,” said Lake, “would you mind telling me how Humphries stood with you before he met with his little accident. Were you in him for much?” Beckett stuck his tongue into his upper lip and squinted. He held up the tiny letter opener be- tween his two index fingers, studying it. “No, I don’t mind telling you, especially, since this is beginning to look like a pro- fessional visit and not a social one. “At the time of young Mr. Humphries’ demise—I believe it is sometimes called that—he was on my books for a little over $2,000.” “Two thousand bucks!” Lake ejaculated. “That’s a lot of fish for a $3,000 a year professor.” “That’s a lot of money for any- bedy, I’'d_ say,’ Beckett told him mildly. “I suggested that he take it easy—I don’t like the young } crowd to go for more than they handle—but this Humphries wes a sort of reckless kind of guy. He insisted I give him a chance to cut it dewn. So what happens —he only gets in deeper. You know how it goes.” Lake nodded. “Yeah, Riley—I know how it goes.” Lake studied the man before him. “And now, of course, you’re out the $2,000.” Beckett shrugged. “I’ll admit | it’s a shame,” he said. “It wasn’t very sporting of Humphries leave without taking care of his creditors, was it?” Lake stood up. “No, I guess | not,” he said, putting on his hat. “Thanks, Riley, Tll be seeing you.” “Any time, John,” Beckett said, rising. Let's go out to the bar and have a drink on me.” To be continued ‘KEY WEST IN. DAYS GONE FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF NOVEMBER 3. 1932 } { | Robert P.

Take the taxes on beer, f'rin- stance—more than 24; billion dol- lars, I hear, figurin’ federal, state and local, in the nine years since beer’s been back.
