Without some kind oi work no person can be truly happy. :The;word “humanity” has become 2 lest pvord in Germany. > ee The abandoning of a prejudice brings with it 4 sort of pleasure at having got rid of a horrible thing. Philosophers tell us that we are sent into the world to become something and to ~make something. “While most of us sweat and steam, we continue to hear stories about this and that | and the other fellow having a sinecure. A word to the wise might be enougin but judging from the endless flow of dis- | cussion and debate, where are the wise? ‘Whether we like it or not, we should undérstand that gasoline and food rationing is only the beginning ; the-nation has just commenced to fight: | | Jesus Christ is valent the most gallant | figure in human history—with His defiance of evil, His scorn of risk, and His sheer con- | tempt for all unworthy compromise. London says that the President's mes- sage was one of the best papers of state he has ever issued. The Citizen thinks it was the best, because it not only stuck to the sub- | ject that is uppermost in our minda— the | | war, but also handled the subject with | | age pensioner, SOME OTHER WAY OUT? Every American who is worthy of that | name applauds the President for taking a | erack at those Americans who put their ap- | petite above their patriotism, but, as*‘appe- | tite” inferentially applies to things we want at, we believe that Leon to use, as well as e Henderson didn’t igure up che consequen- | ces that would ensue from his latest drastic order—his strictures on (he way gasoline j must be used. We doubt if he was aware, in Florida, for instance, that he was striking at che o , the schools and the function ing of the counties, as well as unthinkin pleasure drivers, when he issued his order confining the use of gasoline io “necessary” driving. Now, even the pugnacious Ickes ad- | | mits that there is not a shortage of oline in the United States. The trouble lies in our transportation system, about which of- ficial Washington has done a great deal of talking since we entered the war but noth- | ing whatever to correct that problem, so far as the public knows. Senators and representatives and other government men have talked and talked ; #bout a proposed barge system, particular- ly in Florida, to relieve the railroads in haui- | ing gasoline, but the only result thus far has | been jaw-action. Jaws still continue to work overtime on the proposed barge canal phase of transportation, and now along comes Leon Henderson, without any jaw- | ing, to clamp down on the use of gasoline | and, at the same time, close the race tracks n Florida, stopping the source of revenue hat was used for the operation of schools, | | to help defray the expense of old age pen- sions and to curtail the operation of worth- while civic matters in ihe counties. Of course, matters ihat promote ihe war effort come before civic operations. All of us agree that that be so and submit: with- out a murmur to that condition. The fact is, we applaud that procedure because it is direcied to maintaining our democratic form of government by crushing the ty- rants who had designs on running the world to suit themselves. But, the big thing still relates to irans- portation and what has been done‘io over- come the shortage of railroad cars and auto- motive trucks jn hauling freight. Could nov something have been done to lessen that problem sufficiently, so that it would not have been necessary for Henderson io aet up his table of ways in which gasoline could be used? If there was-no other way out, then, as good Americans, we should not only submit to his drastic action but applaud it also, but wher. we hear this representative and chat senator declare there is no necessity for the continued decrease in the use of gasoline by civilians, because of the fact that there is no shortage, it sets us to thinking that there might have been some other way out of ihe exigency. HARD TO PLEASE ’EM ALL Announcement by the Government that rationing of more than two hundred kinds of food will begin in February causes a roar of protest from those who assert that no advance publicity should have been giv- en ic this drasti¢ program. This type of criticism is what one must expect. Regardless of what is done in con- nection with the fullest presecution of the war, there will be critics to denounce it. If fhe Government had. waited until February 1, the criticism would be just as vociferous and just as worthless, After all, the people of the United States should realize that the nation is in serious war and that it has much to lose. Consequently, the Government ought to be able to rely upon the loyal support and pa- triotic cooperation of good Americans, and, obviously, it should take steps to compel the } cooperation of all others. TEN RULES FOR GOOD HEALTH Dr. George W. Calver, physician in at- tendance upon Congress, says that. 1942 will show the lowest Congressional death | rate in the twenty-eight years that he has ig watched over the health of our statesmen. The doctor distributes “ten command- | ments of health,” which may prove inter- esting to those not in Congress: “Eat wisely, drink plentifully (of wa- | ter), sliminate thoroughly, bathe cleanly, exercise rationally, ‘accept inevitables completely, sleep sufficiently, check up oc- hard-hitting gloves of iron. casionally.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 22 | Hestor Talks | |“.

He smiled. “You know him, of course. Iwas. looking right at you when he walked in here this morning.” “Oh,” Hestor said and her, voice was like a sigh. “You recognized him; that’s why you dropped the glass.” “All right,” Hestor said, her pout good-natured. “You win. Pll tell you about it, but I can’t talk clear across the room.” She indi- cated a spot on the divan. “We might have a drink first, though,” she said, and waited until he re- turned with fresh ones. “Now?” she said, her eyes mocking him over her glass. “Now.” “Well”—she sighed-“Don Rae- burn is my stepson.” Murdock turned so quickly that MRS.

Yet—1 | | couldn’t stand it there-alone. I had | to leave, and I knew I'd never be back.” “You're selling it then?” “Yes. To a syndicate. For a new club, I believe.

He a’ drink, Finally he leaned back, “All right,” he said wearily. “You tell_it.” “Tm not so sure that I want to.” “The police have been hammer- ing away at him all day. They'll get the story eventually and then Tll_get it from them.” “You would,” said Hestor. “Well, it’s like this. His real name is Don Losado, Miguel’s only son.” “Then why—” “Because he hated me. Raeburn was his mother’s name and he took it when his father re-married. Whether he hated me pe-sonally or whether it was sue the idea of his father aoe a nightclub entertainer, Bae know. Ive never seen Pos a proud and arro- gant man. The family is very old, and smug and patriotic and ap- parently the son had no intention of accepting me. At first : was furious, and then I thought per- haps he’d get over it. But he never did. I simply didn’t exist for him.” Suspicion A= SHE went on, Murdock’s mind began to revolve around certain possibilities that had not before occurred to him. In spite of himself he began to wonder if Hestor was quite all that she seemed, if behind her apparent frankness there was something that might connect her with the murder of Perry Clarke. “—and now, of course,” she w.s saying, “he hates me more than ever because I have something he wants.” “Why was Raeburn’s name on that list?” ’ “I don’t know,” she said. “And why did Raeburn follow you here?” “That I know.” “He thought you had too big a slice of his father’s estate and was trying to—” “On the contrary,” Hestor said. “T inherited only a very small por- tion. Miguel was very wealthy but that wealth was in the country itself, He had three plantations— I don’t know how many thousands of acres—and the town place. There were some foreign invest- ments—European mostly and of no great value now—and not much cash. What there was I got; that and the town place.” She asked for a cigarette and waited for a light. “But he is,” Hestor said calmly.}.~ that’s why Don Raeburn hates me- He wanted to buy it.” The Hundred Thousand 4 MURDOCK waited.

The | trouble is he can’t pay for it.” “You said he was rich.” “He is —or will be—when the | inheritances are paid over the first of the month, but there is nc cash, don’t you see? I can get two hundred and fifty thousand for the ; estate the first of the month. Cash. | He has made the same offer—but with only twenty-five thousand | down. I can’t do it, Kent.” ! i saw the new line of her nouth he knew she meant what she said. “With all that property,” Mur- dock said thoughtfully, “it’s funny he can’t raise that amount through the banks.” “That's what I told him in Ca- ragua. Now I suppose he’s come here with the idea that he can| pester me into accep ‘ing his offer. | Either that—or—why, yes.” Her eyes widened. “Maybe he has found some way of raising the money here, in this country.” “Would you sell to him if he did?” “But certainly.
