IN THE DAYS NEWS


Sir Leo George Chiozza Money,
who has come to America to make
a survey of industrial progress
and methods, is best known as an
economist and author, and as a
writer and controversialist on fis-
cal problems. For five years he
acted as managing editor of the
Commercial Intelligencer of Lon
don. He is a fellow of the Royal
Statistical Society, and possesses
the rare gift of being able to make.
statistics clear and at the same
time interesting. In 1903 he was
instrumental in bringing about a
complete revision of the British
Board of Trade returns. He was
elected to Parliament in 1906 as
Liberal member for North Padd-
ington, a seat he occupied for
four years. In 1910 he was elect.
ed for East Northants. Sir Leo
Chiozza Money was actively en-
gagged on various committees, and
for some time acted as private
secretary to Lloyd George, the
prime minister.

COURTESY 4 KEY WEST ASSET, roo

The party-line telephone has killed neighborli-
ness in the North. Gone are the fine old days when
the housewife ran in next door and sold couple
of tickets for the church supper. Now she calls up
and sends the tickets over by one of the children
The automobile has shut millions of American
families within themselves and the confines of their
cars Nearly every neighbor has an auto, SO why
ask the neighbors to ride? Forgetfulness results
and neghbors grow cold towards each other; at
times families almost grow cold toward themselves
An automobile makes its occupants mute for miles
The net result of these twin necessities with
which the world cannot now do without is to make
men and women forgetful of other men and women;
to too largely focus their interests upon them
selves, except when they meet at clubs or lodges
and in general to build an armor about each indi-
vidual through which the pleasant amenities of old
New England farm life days. or the Sunday buggy
or carryall ride to Aunt Mary's cannot penetrate
In our lives, thereby, we are losers.
Here in our Island City both natives and new
corners frequently speak of the almost a5tonished
expressions the faces of tourists casual visi
tors because of the warm-hearted manner in which
they are greeted, and received and taken around
It is true that there seems to be as much pleasure
among our visitors toward this, to them unexpected
state of affairs as there is toward our equable and
unrivalled climate. Therefore when the visitors go
away they go with expressions of regret at leaving
and with the fond hope they may soon return.
This attitude of courtesy is not only on the
part of Key Westers toward their visitors, but to-
wards themselves Thus thew make life better for
the living and Key West better place in which to
live Must they not also make their tourists better
living because of these good influences?
"The lives you live, the smiles you give, the
tears that flow when friends have woe"- these are
the elements that make us better men and women
that make better home life. a better community
life. better civil life, a better city.

cUBANs CAN TEACH US
miami Newsl

-
In addition to the commercial advantages to
be gained from closer contact with Cuba, Miami,
the youngest city in the American tropics, would
undoubtedly profit therefrom in other less concrete
but less important ways For ABB years the
descendants of Christopher Columbus and his. crew
have been dwelling in Havana and they have per-
force adapted themselves to their surroundings,
learning by long experience to get the most out
of life in the tropics.
A visit to the Cuban capital is a revelation to
most Americans. Cosmopolitan as is Havana
flags Of score of nations flying at the mastheads
of ships in its harbor-with numerous permanent
population of American, British, French, Spanish,
shops catering to foreigners in their languages
the city preserves its picturesque typical tropical
atmosphere
Courtesy and hospitality are everywhere.
Freedom from hypocritical "better than thounezs'
is striking note. Personal liberty isuntrammeled
and is seldom abused. The Cuban is law-abiding
and industrious. He is not given to physical ex-
cesses. and seems able to curtail his appetite with
moderation, although he is fond of the good things
Of life.
Cuban homes fit in perfectly with the climate
High ceilings and French windows that prevent
the pocketing of vitated air. afford constant venti
lation. Walls are thick enough to nsulate living
quarters from the sun.
The Cuban is no laggard. The per capita pro-
duction is exceeded only by Belgium Yet the
Cuban takes his work easily. He does not over
work. After he has amassed competence he
cuts down his working hours or retires from bust
ness Noon time siestas are the rule but they do
not slow up business
Cubans believers in education redago-
CUES are well paid. nliteraey does not exist The
higher educational establishments are considered
the peer Of any in the world and have produced
men of international fame in the various learned
professions.
Much interest in music and other forms of ART
is evinced. Cuiturally the cubans stand high Sig
nifeant Of this is the sending to Miami by "El
Mundo" Of Havana of a special musical expert TO
report Miami's recent opera season.
There are, of course. many things about Cuba
that are 50 different to American standards that
they would arouse serious criticisms here. But who
can say whether they are right or wrong? The
psychology of the Latin races differs from ours
Their ideas along certain lines are the logical SCI
quenee Of racial temperament and ii is difficult to
Judge them harshly in view of the frankneSs and
nonchalance with which they view as peceadilos
deviasiOns from the deealOgue which in the United
States would arouse the hlue-law element to hor-
ror.
Il Is not suggested that Cuba be taken as =
model for Florida We have our own ethical stan
dards and We find them good Bat there are many
ways in which We could profit by study Of cusan
methods and customs.
