Principles are vital but unless they are applicable to daily life, they represent non- sense,so far as human beings are concerned. ee The man who has never needed fi- nancial assistance, because of a large in- heritance, rarely understands the needs of others. Despite the troubles that afflict the world the old human racé goes along and, as one-of our friends constantly remarks, there will always be people. Whenever you hear anybody, mutter- ig a complaint in géneral terms; ask him tdibe specific. Usually, there is no informas, tig behind grouchy remarks, & alool Be a sinheaee iy Almost anybody can tell other peopte how to give something for the benefit of the war effort and, at the same time, yell like mad because of some minor discomfort ihat touches his routine existence. It is amazing that some Americans have co little appreciation of what this coun- (ty has accomplished in the matter of wag- iig war since Pearl Harbor. But much more could have been done had there been greatet unity and fewer strikes, H CHANGE IN POLICE PATROL | | That was an apt suggestion of a local | official that Key West policemen adopt the | Key West at night. | Give each policeman a beat, and hold | beat. pclice are held responsible if a crime is com- mitted Down Town, Up Town and out in what we called the Rocky Road district in | pe | he old days. Let the night patrolmen captain that they are on their job every hour cf the night By blowing their whistles at stated times. It may be said that the sound of whistles may disturb one’s slumber, but even though that should be the case, it is | valuables. | But the blowing of whistles, except in | old-time style of patrolling the streets of | { inform vhe | { far better for one to be awakened occasion- | ally than to have his house burglarized ox | | one of his womenfolk attacked to obtain her | | him iesponsible for the lawlessness on chat | As things are at present, the entire | | the beginning, will not disturb Key Westers | chanced to be awake that the policeman in | that district was alertly doing his duty. We entertained the feeling something like the | “Three o’clock, and all is well.” ‘ That practice was brought over io this | remarked, at a supper given in the home of Sir Joshua Reynolds, England’s greatest artist in his day, “The ery of the watchman | is the comforting assurance that somebody is pro‘ecting you and your interests while | you sleep.” 3 | Give each policeman a beat; let him blow his whistle to demonstrate he is prop- erly patroling his beat. Keep him away from Duval street, unless that happens to be tion, as has been too much the case in recent years. If Mayor Albury needs the sanction of the City Council, which The Citizen thinks he does not, to change the practice among the police at present, let him get that pow- er; if he doesn’t need it, then let him revive the old way of patroling the city at night—- the way that proved to be successful in-the old days. UNUSUAL FIDELITY IN OFFICE In 1916, according to The New York World-Telegram, Captain Duncan Mathe- son, of the San Francisco police force, help- ed to send Tom Mooney and Warren Bil- lings to prison on charges of bombing a Pre- paredness Day parade. Subsequently, the captain was con- vinced that the men had not received a fair trial and he assisted in the movement whicn many years later brought about their re- | lease. In 1929, the captain retired from the police force to become the City Treasurer of San Francisco, Recently, he died. His widow turned back to the city $22,888 in uncashed police pension checks which rep- resented money to which Captain Matheson was legally entitled but which he did not spend because he was receiving another municipal salary. Such examples of unusual integrity in regard to public office are exceedingly rare. It is encouraging to report such an incident and gratifying to pay tribute to a man who certainly believed that a public office rep- resents a public trust. TROUBLE AHEAD FOR THE AXIS The United States is making as many combat weapons today as the entire Axis, declares Donald M. Nelson, War Produc- tion Board chairman, who adds that the United Nations together are turning oui twice as many weapons as the enemy. Mr. Nelson points out that our war pro- 000, as compared with $52,500,000;000 for 1942. If this takes place, the United States ‘by the end of next year will be out-produc- duly ithe Axis two-to-one and with its Allies would be out-producing the Axis three-io- one. When the production of the tools of far, now flowing from plants in the United Nations, reach the battlefronts, the Axis soldiers will find, for the first time, that it takes more than initiative and greed to win to evercome their enemies. Nazi pride, Italiam bombast and Jav- anese greed will fall in a heap, covered com- pletely by the overwhelming weight of metal that will be thrown against them, ! early settlers in the United States felt when | at night they heard the watchman’s cry, ; country from England.

After writing | about the rise of the mainland of | | Florida above water and the in-| | crease of its elevation by accretion | thrown up by the sea, the article has this to say about the Florida : Keys: | “But the forming of the keys; was a different process. Here the | Creator empleyed a _ perpetual) | workman, still on the job, build- ing for permanence and beauty | | and entombing therein its own! body while creating others to carry on and on while mere man' | toils at what he thinks is more im- portant undertakings and, passes | | on, leaving faint footprints. It is unfair that this organism has the} | unromantic name of polyp, a real- lism for which geologists have par- | | tially compensated by calling its| {skeleton coral. And of this the | keys are made. | “Coral is found chiefly of the, carbonate of lime deposited as a secretion of certain cells of the polyp. The polyps live in colonies | in torpical waters, attaching them- | selves to the sea bottom, then to; their own dead, forming a grow- | ing mass called corallium. They | increase by gemmation, er bud-| ding, like a tree, and some of them | {actually form tree-like objects) which later are picked up, cleaned and polished, to form the live-| |lihood for key dwellers. Some of | these are given names, like sea fan and staghorn. Others shape themselves into mushroom-like domes. 1 “It is assumed that the forma- | tion of the keys began shortly} after the mainland, by the pro-; cess noted heretofore, reached a} point where the backwash from it | threw up sand bars in the ocean | and gulf. This likely was in the | early Paleozoic times. The rate { | known but the reef-building j maeandrinas at Key West are es- timated to make average growth lof half an inch a year. Maére- | ‘pores, which develop on sub-/ merged rocks, have been meas-| ¢ L) ured over a period of 50 years to} show a growth of about three | inches annually. As the engineers | constructing the railroad across | the keys found water from 15 to | 45 feet deep between them an idea may be had as to how long it took | the polyps to reach the surface in} planes. Such an estimate, how- cause a polyp has no idea of archi- building, and, surely, no thought ing from the pleasures or com- plaints of mankind.” WHO KNOWS? ANSWERS ON PAGE 4 (Some War Questions) 1.
