In certain of the service, trades, the custom of tip ping has become almost a part of the price, with the? result that a non-tipping} customer gets poor service and a compliment of dirty looks. This is an undesirable condition but we are in- clined to believe that it will continue as long as those en- gaged in performing serv-' ice for the public hold the; valm open for gratuities.

It has required a long time for developers to “dis- cover” the Florida Keys. We heard one of the lead- ing developers in the Flor- ida land boom days expfess his surprise over the slow ness of growth of the Florida Keys. “Aside from at a race course,” he said, “the Florida Keys offer more attractions for the country. Say than any other part of the state. The; keys. must pro- gress; when, I don't know, but eventually they will be the foremost winter resorts in, the country. Talk about) South | the glamor of the Sea Islands? Well, we have them in the Florida Keys.” The more, intelligent an individual becomes the less certain he is that he has the correct answers.

In Palestine, the! forces are somewhat even, according.to this writer, but there is the chance that the Arab league will back the Arabs of Palestine. This means heavy reinforcements The question naturally ises whteher the Hebrews have any likely source of | outside assistance. That millions of their racial brothers in the United States will send them money and give them whatever sist- ance they can seems assured. In addition, the powerful pressure groups of the or- ganized Jews in this country will demand that the United | | States intervene in the strug- gle if the going proves tough for their brothers in Palestine. It might be just as well for i the people of the United States, and this includes every reader of this article, to understand that it is none of the business of this coun- try to send soldiers to Pal- estine for the purpose of protecting Jews or Arabs. It is none of our business to expend money or lives, as a nation, for the purpose of establishing the supremacy of any race in that area. entertain- | ment, such as may be found | | date for the Democratic nomi- jnation for governor. jdor to Japan, born in Honolulu, cpocataies: 168 years ago. ie Certificates of nomination were | The Duchess of Windsor, born issued yesterday to Karl Q,|at Monterey, Pa., 51 years ago.
