Humane Society Law An ordinance, which was drafted upon the request of the Humane Society for pre- venting dogs and other ani- mals from running at large in the city, was passed on its final reading last night. This ordinance specifies that all dogs must be prop- erly tagged upon the pay- ment of a license of $1.00 per year, and must be kept off the streets during certain hours. All dogs found running‘at large’ without a tag willbe caught up and impounded. In the event the owners fail to call for the dogs within a certain period, they will be destroyed in a humane man- ner. Better breeds of the im- pounded dogs will be placed on sale. Purchasers will be required to have them tagged under provisions of the ordi- nance passed last night. Mrs. George Mills White, sponsorer of the movement in behalf of the Humane So- ciety, was present at meet- ing last evening, as were oth- er representatives of the so- ciety. In behalf of the Mrs. White expressed her appreciation for the quick| action taken by the council in passing the ordinance. The new law will become effective at once. group, WE ARE...

Horace O’Bryant is chairman of the information panel of the board. As an example, he pointed to official government figures on what has happened in liberated Europe and Manila, as well as war-booming Mexico and China, neither of which have price con- trol. Stopping Tour Around World Milady’s shopping tour, for st some groceries and maybe a few; clothes might end up with her bill totalling something like this in an imaginary trp around the globe, stopping in the listed na- tions for some purchases: First to Chungking, capital of war-torn China, where a dozen eggs would cost $2,400; a jar of tobacco for hubby will add $20 to her ta stopping for a glass of lemonade a bracer after these prices, she'll lay out $2 for the drink. Leaving a suit to be dry clean- ed, she will be told the charge $600; a padlock for the \base- ment door is only $1,500, but aft- er keeping her appointment for a permanent wave she'll lay out $1,800 more.

On into Greece for a loaf of bread goes our housewife, but she'd better be well-heeled, for it'll cost her $260. A shirt for Junior in the same country costs her $1,800. In France she'll pay $60 for a pair of shoes made out of ques tionable leather; smokes here are down to $2 a pack, but that’s still a lot of money. Over to England.

The result was the ruinous inflation that tumbled down about our cars in 1920." He summed up this w e all have a vital stake in seeing that inflation doesn’t get that kind of a start again, as it has in other parts of the world al- ready. “OPA is ready and eager to remove controls as soon as pos- sible and that will be when the supply of any commodity _ bal- ances the demand.” Bees 2 PALACE THEATER GRACE McDONALD in Murder In The Blue Room News and Serial WANTED YOUNG MAN for work in Circulation Department Full Time Employment Must Have Bicycle Apply in person to KEY WEST CITIZEN Atomic Bomb Cocktail Dining Re Te Open Seon Boca Chica B No, 4 to the De OFFICE return to! 1 | | i | | i election commissioners re- questing that one of the vot- ing machines be placed at City Hall during the re-regjs-! pointment of Vernell Welch: tration of voters in — order that the electorate may be- come familiar with the op- eration of the machines.
