And what homemade bread was baked in Key West in those days! It had sweet potato in it and it truly melted in your mouth, and nothing in the line of bread | today is comparable to it in taste and prob- ably nutrition too. But the days of yore, as recalled by | oldtimers, have always been part and par- cel of reminiscenéés. Fifty years from now ! the youth of today will recall “the good old times” in Key West when life was slow and easy and comradeship and good fel- lowship were treaswfed qualities, Tt: has -always4 been-'so;) with yduth marching to old age and old age marching to the grave. The*Biblical span of life of three score;and ‘ten,"wheyge i ‘oe- curySees any changes, an fe old, our thoughts envelop with something of a halo the time of our boyhood when we were carefree and itresponsible. “The good old days,” and truly believe there was never a time before like them, and the youth of today will be saying tomorrow, “Give me back the good old days’, and will truly believe they too were unique. Such is life: a boy today and an old man tomorrow, recalling the: “good old days’. ¥ Our oWn advice, for what, it is worth, is to be patient in buying and get more The disposal OF Surplus{{property i quite certain; to dgvelop issues.

Almost every American has, at one time or another, considered starting his own business. Each year thousands of in- dividuals open new shops, stores and fac- tories. Some of them prosper and flourish, others fail. Take a look at Bill Brown, who runs the general store on Main Street. The store was his idea and it was financed with his savings. He shouldered all the risks when he started his business, and he is still liable for its operations. He must pay the rent every month, the. wageg of his em- pleyes, the cost of stock henge, &fid.all the other expenses indiden Wg w store.

Bill Brown takes the ; of operating because he believes in his ability to run d/sucdessful*businessf™ To. serve, his customers#Bill Brown |) employs two men who are paid so many dollars a week each. The Wages paid are on the level of payments made for similar help throughout the area. They are a part of Bill Brown’s operating expenses. Put oyurself in Bill Brown’s place for a few moments. Suppose your two em= ployes approached you at the end of the month and said: ‘We hear that you are making $100 a week in this business; be- cause of that we want more wages. We want 30 per cent more now or else we will go on strike and picket your store.” As a free American operating under a ystem of free competitive enterprise what |.would yousteply to such a demand? . You know exactly what you would say: “This is my business. I built it and I take all the risks. My proifts and my bookkeeping are my own business. I pay your wages re- gardleéss ofthow big or how little a profit I make. My profit is mine because of my en- terprise.” At the present time this is exactly what the UAW-CIO is doing in its strike against General Motors. The Union wants 30 per cent more out of any“profits that may be earned; the Union wants wages tied to profits without accepting any re- spousibility for possible losses. Who do you think is right? Bill Brown j or his employes? States, the term‘ “isolation” could aptly be" we say today, | nth Chapter 25 (Tuesday 6:45 a.m. to 7:48 a.m.] UT it was Moore. A Moore she’d never seen before. No luxuriant hair framed his round jface. A wig, of course. But such ‘a wonderful wig. Intuitively she knew it-had been Moore’s chit pride. What had become of it? “You recognize him now?” the {Inspector was insisting. “Yes, Poor Moore,” she said softly. Then a further thought struck her. “Who did it?” “We don’t know+yet.” “Where is his wig?” she asked and her voigg sounded muffled by the fog. “We'll find it,” Venable said grimly. “You go back and don’t leave your house. Moore did that, remember.” Two men in white coats went wae | by them carrying a stretcher. “Wait a minute before you move it,” ordered the Inspector. “Horowitz, you go with Mrs. Bak- er. Have the boys bring every one to her place. Call up the hospital and see how the woman is. I want to talk to her right away if pos- sible. Hurry.” “Yes, sir.” The detective took her arm and pulled her along as fast as the narrow circling path would per- mit. Back in the pelice car he told the officer wept there to step on it. A reporter and cameraman | ran toward them as the car swung around. % # 3 ‘PJOROWETS took he¥ yy” the H badkr Le to g#6jid the gathering crowd in front..A plain- clothes man was in the back hall and she wondered again how Moore had got out when the apartment had been so well guarded. Cook, fat and efficient, was stir- ring about the kitchen muttering ominously to herself. “Bring a tray to my room, please,” Julia told her. “Where’s that triffling Moore gone to, ma’am?” she wanted to he’s better than nothin’.” Her wide Irish face was pursed into’ know. “I can’t do everything and’ CITIZEN an expression of hearty disap- proval. “He’s—he’s dead.” A look of terror spread over her features ahd she crossed her- self quickly. “God save us!

The wo- man began untying her apron strings. = “Pm Teaving right now, ma’am. can’t stand these here goings on. ’m sorry for you if you haven’t the guilt on your own soul as who am I to a you have, but this is a haunted’place and Rebecca Duggan is better out of it.” “Pd stay as cook if I was you,” put in the detective. “Otherwise, you'll be held as witness and won't be getting your wages. It’s better to be drawing pay than standing around waiting for the cops to question you.” Cook hesitated, her small shrewd eyes gazing abstractly at the man. Then she started tying the white apron again. “Sure and if I don’t think you're right. Not that I mind cops, bein’ wife to one oncet and widow to him now.” Julia breathed a little sigh of thankfulness. Cook was a steady- ing influence in the household. “T’m glad,” she said. She passed through the dining room into the salon. At sight of her Doctor Wandell, who was at the opposite end with the two.of- ficers who had been there when she left, strode toward her, hands park and lost her again. I was afraid something would happen to her.” Julia looked into his soft brown eyes shining behind the rimmed glasses and wondered if he al- ready knew what had happened in the park. “You don’t trust me,” he said regretfully. Her eyes dropped. Instead of answering she asked, “You love Alma?” “I would die for her.” Seeing her expression change, tgpretch ggg hy, “T came jon as Theard Alma 3 i el my tin tb the police, then?” + «fhadito, I/saw her once in the | ht he asked, “Yes, I would probably even kill for her. That seems strange, doesn’t it, from one sup- posedly so far from the primitive state. I can dissect my émotions but it doesn’t make them less in- tense. Can you imagifie the horror of seeing some one you love tor- tured until she réaches the con- dition Alma is in?” 4 “I know,” Shc pressed his arm comfortingly. “But she can be cured. “With rest and peace. But how can I give her that now?” She shook her head hopelessly. “With three murders,” she said. The instant the words were out she regretted them. “Three!” His voice was soft and tense. Was it a surprisé to him or was he only startled because she knew there were three? _Horowitz stalked in from thé dining room and eyed them suspi- ciously, At the same time Jerry hurried toward them from the foyer, his red head held high and his eyes flashing. Back of him was a detective with a swelling cheek. “Where’s a lawyer?” he de- manded of the room in general. “Can’t I knock down a detective if he doesn’t show a badge? I’m Mrs. Hayes’ brightest boy but I j can’t tell the law by the color of } its eyes. I can’t help it if I thought he was a burglar—at this hour of the day—” He kept up a steady stream of | abuse as he joined Julia and the } doctor.
