While there still is a meat shortage, ‘one is constrailed to inquire, “Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, that he is grown so great?” Yours truly, THE ORACLE. 112 YEARS MAXIMUM? Forty years of study have convineed Dr. Maurice Ern- ct of London, that no per- ¥ hap ever lived longer than 112 years. He reports for s of 410 years and | 24wlich have been | ted by him. All of | ere women. \ doctor investigated | The the claims of hundreds of | persons, -clainting a greater | age but-dismisses them as’ fakes: On’ one gravestone in| Suffolk, he found the dead | eccupant listed as being 207 | years old, but explained’ that this was the mistake of a semi-literate stone-cutter who thought that was the way to write twenty-seven. Dr. Ernest agrees with the comment of George Bernard Shaw. who said that people “would live to be at least 800 if they lived properly, but he has no faith in mon- key glands, Bulgarian sour milk or other alleged life-ex- tenders. He thinks that periodical examinations, to- gether with the pretentive methods of modern medi- cine will eventually add many years to the average lile expectancy. | UN FEARS ISOLATION One result of the Repub- liewan victory is apparent in the ranks of officials of the United Nations, who now take the position that the organization should con- tinue its headquarters in the United States. Previous to the election, the delegates of several na? tions, ineluding the Ukraine, favored moving permanent he pane rters to Geneva. ° The fear that the Repub-/ liean victory may be the! first toward isolation is ad- | mitted by some delegates who hope to keep the Unit- ed States active in support . of the world organization. With prices jumping up-| ward the buyers have the last say if they have the pa- tience to say it. Alaska is twice the size of Texas and if it is admit- ted to the Union as the 49th state, the Lone Star state will have to look for other --daurels. | sea i tional YACHT RACING Several times The Citizen has remarked that, in pro- viding entertainment in Key West for tourists, those things should be done that are in the realm of possibil- ity. One of those things is yacht racing. : Three outstanding winter resorts in Florida are Mi- ami, Daytona Beach and St. Petersburg, and in each of those cities yacht races are held several times. every winter. The sea casts a spell over many of us, and the sailboat so far as pleasure is con- cerned, strikes our fancy far more than the motor- boat. We prefer to be in the to} latter when we wish reach a place as soon as we can, but for sport we like the bellying sail, with the scuppers dipping now and then. Key West has had its day of yacht racing. Time was when more sailboats raced in Key West waters than in the waters of all the rest of Florida combined. Thou- sands lined the shores or stood on wharves when a regatta was being held. The Key West Yacht Club is determined that this | city will regain some of its past glory in the sport of yacht racing. Because of the | war and the resultant short- age of materials after the war, the club was unable to build yachts and, for pa- triotic reasons, did not hold races. But things are different now. From now .on, as the new officers of the club have asserted, the club is going to be true to its name. Seven members now own boats and others intend to have boats built for racing er cruising through the | Keys. Why. shouldn't Key’ West te a yacht-racing center when a few minutes’ walk in any direction will take one to the seashore? Sea, everywhere, and no yachts to race on it! Such a thought is incongruous. But things are going to be dif- ferent. The Key West Yacht Club is going to revive racing. Cairo, Egypt, has some 90 different daily newspapers. That means publicity for every conceivable opinion. NOTHING SERIOUS Eric A. Johnston, former head of the U. S. Chamber) of Commerce, says that re- cent price advances have not been as impulsive as they were in the early twenties, and that the na- economy 25 year ago “was not in the healthy or well-disciplined state it is now.” The American told. the is no foundation to the fear that a “boom-and-bust cy- cle” is progressing in the United States, although h admitted that there might be a recession “sometime, next year.” He was sure that this would be mild and not sufficient to cause’ seri- ous disturbances to domes tic or international condi- tions. We call attention to the views of Mr. Johnston be- cause there is considerable | the United speculation in the States as to future course of business and the probable occurrence and in- tensity of an expected downward adjustment. An usher is one who takes a leading part in a theatre. “SOAPLESS SOAP” A bright, clean future is predicted for synthetic de- tergents, or in more under- Ww standable English, the new “soapless soap,” that is ob- tained from petroleum and does not produce any more suds in hot water or cold water than ordinary and does not leav greasy curds. can be used for pose that is performed by regular soaps. So girls, lay off on toilet soaps for your family washing.
