It is a sensible arrangement, in view of the nterests whic theRbésibks) untldubted| yf ve in the futung ecpivity sot tae Heneyiesic We are not inclined ot criticize nclusion of Russia inthe vouncit that must have a voice abduti Japan although we are omewhat disappointed that, in giving this concession, the Wiited States may not have gotten similar’ conctssidns from the R . ians in regatd“to of wiete theFe. have been signs ile clio part of the Soviets: H * eee Nevertheless, we* 6 not ‘See fiow any* body can deny the fundamental’ interest f Russia in the Far East and particularly Japan.

AILEY SRN Strange how one-who ‘does a sal- ways has an excuse for it, and‘str er still he believes he’s right. What is custom in one country is a crime in others. In Russia, as a part of the wedding ceremony, the father takes a new whip, and after striking his daughter gently with it, tells her that he does so for the last time, and then presents the whip to the bridegroom. yw vould bez HANGING THE FIEND The whole world is of one kin in re- senting a dastardly and atrocious crime, particularly when its victim is a child, as in the case of the six-year-old girl who was killed and multiliated by some fiend in Chicago. Just what the reaction was to the crime is aptly epitomised in what an editor of The Citizen remarked whilé discussing the crime: “I'd rather see the fiend who murder- ed her caught and hanged than to see Hitler caught and hanged.” There you have it, for, it is safe to say, more than the editor did and still does. No man in -his normal mind would have done what that Chicago man did to a helpless victim, Either the perpetrator was drug- crazed or crazy, for no man, able to reason intelligently, would take the life of a child and then dismember her body. Yes, we too rather would see the fiend caught and hanged than we would the madman who washed Europe in human blood. The latter committed his crimes under the stress of war or preparation for war, which, of course, in no way -palliated his atrocities, or atrocities committed un- der his direction; the Chicago fiend cold- bloodedly crept through a window, stole the child: from her -bed and,..as is easy to sgisualize, smothered her cries» before he alled her. ‘© -Birst frightened, then terrorized, then skilled, then dismembered. | iy: How we would rejoice: over the p : prehension and hanging of the fiend: Ai A person with an inferiority complex thinks everybody else can do a job better than he—and usually he is right. To agree with everything the Rus- sians want and insist upon is not diplomacy but idiocy. Any weakling can say “yes” but it takes a man of courage to say ‘“‘no 100 YEARS OF PROGRESS Tf you wish td autize jus*how much progress the world has made in the past oti hundred Yedts'lebit/ap the history o ‘ raifwrysfanglocpmetives.

Maybe, that’s how the expres- sion, “let George do it”, originated. Pray for what you want, and then go out and hustle for it. You won’t get it otherwise but prayer strengthens your de- termination. : LET’S “BUY AT HOME” a The Citizen has co: tently advo. the “Buy at Home” habit. It has the people of Key West to patronize merchants and business hous¢ to send their money out of. s where it wil] tentain bo bibl fopbite eommunity. wet It is impossible for a newspaper, ever, to create a spirit of civic loyalty un- less those who have goods or services to sell appreciate the responsibility which rests upon them. This involves efficiency, the es- tablishment of fair prices, based upon ef- ficient service, and, in addition, intelligent propaganda to inform the buying public 6f the values to be received. This writer’s idea of a successful dip- lomat is one who does not let the Russians pull the wool over his eyes. 200,000 GERMS ON BABY’S THUMB A London doctor tested the thumbs of some babies*to ‘discover the presence or absence of germs. It will amaze most par- cone to learn that the number of germs from,@,000 te200,000 living germs, ined f each thumb, or an average of 71,388. Many of them were of the harmless varieties but the presence of such a vast number, picked up by babies on the floor and on the ground, should emphasize the necessity of observing every possible care to prevent germ infection for these little tots.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 30 {Wednesday 2:35 a.m. to 4:15 a.m.] } Ste reflected dimly that someone was on the window sill—only a tense inimical arm kept that person from falling a: Robey had fallen. But the knowledge seemed to come from far away. It was a nightmare and did not greatly concern her. “What do.you want?” That was the Inspector which proved that it was a dream be- cause he wasn’t here- “Toss me your gun. Quftk.” There was a faint sound ag something struck the rug and at the same time the arm which held her started to pull away. “Julia!” It was a desperate and demand- ing cry and it pierced the sense of unreality that held her. She lifted her head and pain shot through her as someone clutched ! her hair. For an instant she was suspended in space, held only by the mass of curls on top of her head. Then she was pulled through the window and laid unceremoni- ously on the floor. When she opened her eyes it was still dark so she closed them again and tried to quiet her shaking body. She heard rushing feet and loud voices. Above the noise came the sound of two shots. Then everything faded. : ‘When she opened her eyes again the lights were on and she was lying on her bed with a blanket throwh over her. Grace was pour- ing brandy unsteadily against her lips and it ran out at the corner of her mouth, She swallowed. It was fiery and life giving. “How’s that?” Grace asked. “Better.” ‘Here, Ginnie, you need it, to Grace poured the glass half ft ‘i and nanded it across Julia to the’ girl on the other side of the bed. “I’m sorry,” Julia said. Virginia’s skin was drawn over her fine bones tautly. “T think I alrendy, knew it be- cause I didn’t feel surprised.” Suddenly Julia sat straight up. She did not say who. i er ‘ee “Where's the Inspector? Is he all right? The shots!” “Oh, for God’s sake, you're sup- | y posed to keep quiet, Julia,” flared Grace, then subsided. “I'll tell you if you'll lie down.” She peseed Julia back on the cushions. “Are you lela Ee the hand- some ‘Inspector fore Robey’s even buried? Serves him right.” “He got shot but-just enough to make him look like a hero: Wandell and some police surgeon are in there now dressing the wound. He got Frank, shot him. How tid h¢ he the Inspector’s gun is Sulla told them as briefly as she could. “I’m sort of an accessory,” ” Vir- ginia said. The brandy had brought some color into her face. “Frank told all before they took him away. I think he liked the drama and he never had a better audience.” “He took « ticket from Robey’s book when he married this Ade- laide somebody. That was before his wife died and this gal had some money he wanted to get his hands on so he used Robey’s name. He used the money to back ‘Pins and Pyramids.’ It took poor dumb Adelaide eight years to find out that Robert C. Baker was Robey’s real name and she came on_to New_York from. the West. The day Robey was killed Frank ran into her near here and went with her to the Janis Hotel—” “And: pitched her outithe win- dow.” finished Grace, “Want an- other brandy. Ginnie?” “No, I'm going to’be sick.” VEG sineibied to bathroom dndjG hes, demanded, *\kdamn; doctor? Jerry stuc! 4 white! face in the door “You all right now?”. “Yes. Can the doctor come to Ginnie? She’s sick.” “He and the police vet are working on Venable. He’s some guy. Got guts.’ He came and sat on the side “wh “God! et?” She shook her head. “Robey didn’t know Frank had used his name once to get married on and when he got the certificate from a gal—the one in the morgue, name of Campbell—he was going to throw a scare into all his wives —erstwhile and present—pretend- did Frank kill Robey?” Don’t you know that ing he didn’t have a-divoreé:-He” told Frank about it that-night and Frank had to work fast. Held ,al- ready done away with the galsdnd he figured he was in a tough spot. And right when he was fixed up to marry Ginnie and get a pot of gold.” “Then Moore found out and was going to make Frank pay—was that it, Jerry?” “Yeah. He had a scrap from the certificate hid under his wig.” “If it hadn’t been for Inspector | Venable I wouldn’t be here,” Julia said and closed her eyes against the thought. She opened them again immo>diately to dispense the feeling of hanging in air. “He hid in your closet and had dictaphones all over the house. He’s been cussing himself because he didn’t know the lights were out and almost lost you. Say, has he fallen for you?” Jerry finished jealously. “He can’t stop talking about you.” “T’ll always be grateful to him for saving me,” she said, a faint smile on her lips. “Oh, God! Do you have to marry every ungrateful brute who saves! your life?” “As a mattér of fact T have en't even thaliked thy first rescuer. “Hank ail pe ee aa te “a iad to see for myself that you were all right after I left you so hurriedly,” he said to Julia.
