PLAYING WITH DEATH The Citizen remarked recently that it appears to be of no avail to warn drivers who seem disposed to think that there is no such thing as death. Determinedly, they drive at breakneck speed, heedless that death 's riding along with them.. The driver of the erashed near the Bahia Honda bridge at midafght Sunday, killing a woman, said that he lost control of the motoreycle. It Was not explained how he lost control, but usually control of an automobile or a motoreyele occurs when it is going fast. Neither was it explained how a boy and a girl were killed on the same day in Batesville, Arkansas, other than to say that one automobile smashed into the rear of another, causing an explosion of the gasoline tank in the rammed car. Occu- pants of the car, a boy of 16 and a girl of 17, were “burned beyond recognition.” } Some drivers, given a | “Step on the gas” until the speedometer | registers 70 or more miles an hour, Such | drivers give no thought to a possible blow- | out or some obstruction on the road that | may make them lose control of their cars. Whizzing along at that speed, a driver has no chance to save his car should any type of accident happen. And accidents lave likely to happen at any time. The gas- joline motor is a wonderful invention, but, | like everything else of a mechanical na- ture, it is not perfect. Above all, it is not | foolproof. “Fool” can be applied to any man who | arise at breakneck speed, except in cases of dire emergency. Then chances are taken to try to save the life of another, but otherwise, it is foolhardy to play with death. The thirst for knowledge is overflow- ling our colleges; we may expect the next | generation to solve some of our unanswer- }ed problems. THE PAY ENVELOPE No theory has been more thoroughly exploded than the argument that higher wage rates need to be reflected in the sell- ing cost of commodities. Since 1939, the wholesale prices of manufactured goods have risen 78 per cent. That corresponds , almost exactly to the increase in wage costs since 1988—73 per cent. The theory might have had validity had it included the stipulation that production per man hour rise along with wage costs per unit of production. But that has rarely been mentioned by the labor economists with one or two distinguished excep- tions. On the basis of the latest available figures, production per man hour is only about 12 per cent better than in 1939, de- spite that 73 per cent increase in wage costs. And production per man hour is un- der the 1941 level. There is only one real arbiter of pros- perity—and that is the amount of goods the people can buy. It is obvious that doubling the number of dollars in a pay envelope does no good if each dollar will buy only half as”much. In the past, we managed to hold down prices even as we raised wages because workers and man- agement steadily increased output per man hour. We are now seeing what the reversal of that does to the wage-price stgucture. So far, pay increases for most workers may have offset the price increases. But if inflation ever gets the bit thoroughly between its teeth, the purchasing power of everyone will decline catastrophically. The solution is more output to offset the rec- ord wages paid in industry today. The care that some men exercise, in connection with automobiles, contrasts strangely with what they do to their bodies, es ALL RIGHT WITH US A charge of manslaughter against the Rey. Gordon Miller, of Summerville, Ga., has been thrown out of court. The preacher faced charges in con- nection with the fact that one of his flock, in a demonstration of faith, drank a lib- eral portion of poison and shortly after- wards passed away. The faith of the poison-drinking worshiper seems some- what misplaced to us and_ in about the category as that of the snake-handling disciples. | Both practices represent a form of form of worship that seems undesirable to us, but, personally, we have no objec- tion to people handling snakes and drink- ing poison, if it happens to be part of their religious beliefs. clear road, } motorcycle that | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Spenge Key We t Court of Mc « Sth, 1947, sAND CATES, Sole Owner.

Another Lady Is Gas and Headache One lady said recently that her stomach used to be like a} “gas factory!” That is, when she ate a meal it seemed to turn right into gas. She was always bloated, had awful stomach gas pains, daily headaches and con- stant irregular bowel action. Now, however, this lady says she is FREE of STOMACH GAS and savs the change is due to taking INNER-AID. Her meals agree with her. No gas or bloat after eating. Headaches and constipa- pation are gone. “Oh! what re- lief!” states this lady. “Why don’t other gas and constipation suf- ferers get INNER-AID?” INNER-AID contains 12 Great Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear gish liver and kidneys.
