Rogel | Prevents Fatality What might have proved to be a fatal fire was averted Monday morning by a quick-thinking Key West policeman. At one-thirty o'clock, Patrol- man E. Rogel smeliéd smoke on his beat near the Tropical Hotel Duval St. He immediately woke up the manager. of the hotel and together they searched the place. They discovered smoke coming out of Room 308, occupied by a | Robert P. King. The manager's | keys failed to open the door. Ro- | gel broke it down, woke up King, | and extinguished a burning mat- | tress with a portable fire extin- guisher, all in a matter of mi- nutes.

HEALTH REPORT DUE NEXT FALL Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, director of the special com- missicn created by President Truman six months ago to chart the health needs and resources of this nation, is ex- pected to make his preliminary report next fall. Already more than 200 medical and lay experts have been inter- | viewed on the subject of public health. Among the topies studied are regional medical plans, care of veterans, promotion of health, rehabilitation, training of physicians and nurses, health problems of the aged, care of the chronically ill, medical research, and rural and industria! health. The commission is also compiling data on the num- ber of trained medical personnel, the number and loca- tion of medical facilities, and the cost and coverage of health ineugance. WOMEN’S FEET LARGER Women’s shoes, as any husband knows, cost more than men’s shoes despite of the fact that they require less leather, We are advised that the average piece of fem- inine footgear requires about 150 separate operations. We, of course, have been concerned over the increas- ing amount of energy that goes into producing women’s shoes. The wispy straps, the thin soles, and the teetering heels are very necessary, and now we have learned why. The feet of the American women have grown more than three sizes in the past two generations. The average woman in this country wears a size 744-B shoe teday, as compared with a size six a generation ago, and a size four in granny’s day. The high laced, pointed shoes of two generatoins ago probably looked as large as a pair | of open-toed spiked-heeled pumps of today that are three sizes larger. There is always a way to develop more trade if the merchants of Key West will cooperate on the job of mer- chandising. Natl.

Peakes, if convicted, would die in the electric chair, However, his attorney pleaded him innocent by reason of insanity as the tall, eropped - haired defendant let his eyes dart to and fro in the court- room. Then Peakes was taken back to Bellevue Hospital for further mental tests. Streit severely berated the state and the Veterans Administration for foisting ‘dangerous maniacs on the public with the most dire con- sequences,” He called their regulations ‘whol- ly inadequate to safeguard the wel- fare of the public.” Judge Streit advocated that courts of law ride herd on mental institutions and give the last word on whether or not to release any mental patient.
