Nobody cares about how many Jap or German warships are destroyed, but there will_be regret that some of Uncle Sam’s amous old men-of-war also are earmark- ed-for possible disintegration. But their ital sacrifice, if it is really to be, will be n-the service of their country. The Navy needs them now to determine the effect fthe_.atomic bomb on future ship design | nd on the whole concept of warfare. Better to carry on to a glorious end n the tradition of the Navy than to rot and rust for years in the mudbanks where proud ships die. BIG BILLS The Treasury Department reports a drép in the number of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills in circulation and hopes hat this means that black marketing and tax evasion have similarly declined. The premise of the Treasury is that “Digmoney” bills, mostly used for settling balahees betwen banks, have been useful to black marketeers and tax evaders, en- abling them to handle leaving a trace. The number of $10,000 bills has drepped from 3,300 in June to around 2.200;the number of $5,000 from 2,000 to 1,40D,.$1,000 bills declined from 994,000 to 801,000 and $500 bills from 1,142,000 to 982,000. Even the reduced figures show about a billion and a quarter dollars in cir- culation, which ought «to be enough to finance considerable black marketing and tax evasion.

More than a hundred years, ago, a Key West grand jury made a report in which it complained about the extensive gambling and the large number of .grog shops in the city. That report is'a master- picee in that regard, and it precipitated arguments,. whose outcome was only. to cause “bad blood” among groups of resi- dents aligned against each other, the wets on one side and the drys on the other. Since then, there have been many other outbursts against local saloons, in- variably with a similar result; side lining up against side, each side abusing the other. Since the turn of the century, wets and drys have clashed on three different occasions, and, at one time, caused a good to operate until economic conditions stepped in to reduce the number. You may be as sure as that oft-repeat- \ de two and two make four, that when | business conditions return to normal there | will be a decided decrease in the number | of Key West bar rooms.

Watt, as men in other undertakings do, till they .begin to use red ink. They are able to sense the falling off of business before men in other call- ings, and, as conducting bar rooms entails a multiplicity of expenses, the proprietors, “fold up their tents and quietly steal away.” Key West has far too many bars, and should have none in the business and resi- dential sections of Duval street. In the two busiest blocks on Duval, the bars bring to mind, except for electric lights and the size of the buildings, gold-mining western towns in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century. pe es eS ~The way to enjoy gbod RAC take care of yourself while yéu ‘are The care of the feet is ealled import- ant.

Lucas, of Illinois, that the Navy keep for possible future use the ninety- six warships it plans to expose to the atomic bomb.

As to the other comment of Senator that the Navy should keep its ix warships for future use, it is only necessary to recall that the nation has a fleet so large that it is impossible to keep every ship in operation. In fact, after providing for current needs and laying up a tremendous réserve of warships for future use, there remains a surplus. The stores of Key West did a grand job in wartime, in supplying the people through a period of great difficulty.

Bird-lovers and fishermen are be- ginning to protest the atomic bomb test in the: Pacific, which, they insist, will kill great numbers of fish and birds. There is little doubt about the killing of fish and birds, but just how they can be | “evacuated” is a problem which the com- plainants can’t explain. The Navy Department explains that, so far as the Department of the Interior knows, Bikini Atoll is not a swarming ground for Pacific fish and is far removed j from the seasonal track of whales. many fist fights.

She had never felt sa ill at ease, so unsure of her- self. She realized that she would simply have to take her courage in’ both hands ani ask the ques- tions she had come to ask. She began to speak very slowly. “Edith’s happiness means more to me. than my very life, Burk, t d | longing Sometimes people“faik: because of pride, or perhaps use of fear of meddling — to Say..the few words that might bring happiness | to those they love.” She leaned fotward in her chair! “I’ve got Fnow how you feel abate ell HE SAT.‘véby“stitt 84" Laure watched his-face Shesawi the. _éxpressions | feat A ertess, ‘is features.” then. resignation fon and despair, + “Tye done the ‘very best I can to put her out aged my life, Mrs. Collins, but——” she noted that there was a ring of moisture around his lips and her heart went out to him in pity. “But it’s no use.
