VOTERS DROWSY
IN ALEXANDRIA

An average vote of one an
hour was being maintained in
Alexandria, municipal election
today for the choice Of the six
Democratic nominees for City
Council.
In the fifth ward, where there
are 1854 qualified voters, only
two votes we're cast between the
opening of the polls at 4:40 this
morning and $40. In the other
wards, except the first where
voters are said to be erasing the
name of M. L. King, Democratic
nominee and writing in the name
Of w. J. McCaffery, there was
little interest. Ward leaders
were predicting that McCaffrey
might poll 35 votes out of the
100 expected to be polled in the
first ward.
The polls will be kept open un-
til 1855 tonight.

u SIGNATURE
Buzzards Point Development
Called for at Vast
Expenditure

District bills which have been
approved by the Senate and
were passed in the House late
yesterday will be sent to the
President for his signature
today.
The House, acting speedily,
adopted several measures designed
to relieve unemployment and
provide additional industrial IA
cilities for the District.
Authorization for the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton Railroad, to extend its tracks
into Buzzards Point is provided
IN one of the bills.
Another measure permits the

will open the way for widespread
industrial development of the
section.

FORD FOR HOOVER

Henry Ford has come out for Hoover
This is perhaps the worst news that
could possibly reach the republican cam
paign managers, although they can dc
nothing about it. They must extend well
coming hand to Mr.. Ford and hope for the
best.
Mr. Ford is a mighty fine automobile
man. On the question of a motor-ear, we
would take his endorsement without stop
ping to ask for any other. But on other
qlestions, Mr.. Ford has wonderful record
of being on the wrong end of every con-
troversial question.
The memory of his peace Ship" OF
more than fifteen years ago still excites
laughter whenever it is recalled. 1t was
pathetically humorous affair and marked
MIR. Ford as child III affairs of public
moment.
Since that time Mr.. Ford has endorsed
many ideas and many public projects. he
has selected about as many winners in the
realm of public affairs rs former champion
James J. Corbett has picked winners i'm the
prize-ring, and Mr.. Corbett enjoys the
reputation of being always wrong in his
selections
The endorsement of Henry Ford can
not do Mr. Hoover very much good. But
on the other hand. it will probably not do
him any great amount of harm.
Except from the owners of Ford cars
who may blame Mr. Ford for troubles
which primarily may have been their own
fault

CATHOLIC CHURCH
SERVICES SUNDAY
THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE
KING AT ST. MARY'S
TOMORROW
(contributed)

The Catholic Church will cele-
brate the royal dignity of Christ,
so frequently spoken of in the
Bible and in her Liturgy.
The Basis of the title rests on
the great mystery of the mcarna-
tion-by virtue of which as st.
Paul says in his Epistle to the
Hebrews (1I2) "He has constitut-
ed Him heir of all things created
and by whom He made the world"
Consequently to Christ belongs
rightfui lordship over all nations
and human society. This domin-
ion of Christ is superior to that
held by earthly rulers, for He
Himself has declared that His hea-
venly Father has given Him all
power in heaven ana. IN earth. est.
John 18:37-He declared to the
world in answer to Pilates ques-
lion, cart Thou a King?" II am
for this / came into the world, but
my Kingdom is not of this world,
but He did not say that His king
dom was not in the world. That is
the church's answer to those who
try to confuse the issue of Church
and State. my Kingdom is not
of this world, give to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar and to God what
belongs to God"
History repeats itself, its pages
ring out the cry before Pilates
court, "We will not have this man
to rule over us--IIe is against the
nation" We have the cry from
Red Russia--from Spain. from
Mexico--and the whisperings in
our own country, when a Catholic
is proposed for an office.
Plate was a Politician and pas
sion not principle persuaded him
to cruelty the King of human
hearts. For here was the triumph
of the Spiritual over the material,
the declaration of truth in face
Of vilifying falsehood.
Oh! it is not for nothing that
Christ the King has gone down
through the ages carrying His
Cross and crowned with thorns,
hailed as King by the world
aud breaches from His throne
suffering for us---the Kingdom not
of this world. but of heaven.

LA CASA MARINA

Many Key Westers have assumed an
altogether too distressing view over the
amour cement that La Casa Marina will
not be opened this season
While we rightfully pride ourselves on
having so beautiful hotel as La Casa
Marina, and while it enhances the prestige
of the community in the eyes of tourists,
yet, as matter of dollars and cents, its re-
naming closed will harm Key West very
little.
Yet, judging by the way some Key
Westers have been talking since the story
appeared in The Citizen that the hotel will
not be opened this season, enc is led to
think that source of much revenue to the
community has been cut off.
La Casa Marina bought no produce in
Key West, except in cases of emergency.
exceptions Even though Key West has a
greater variety of fish than any other city
in the country, none was bought here for
use at the hotel.
From an economic viewpoint La Casa
Marina has been ching apart to Key
West ever since it was built so that it is
ridiculous to declare that its closing hurts
us financially, except in minor degree.
The "hurt' is almost entirely in the
realm of prestige, and, it should be re-
.membered, that it will be temporarily only.
However, the closing is cause for re-
gret-regret that the most attractive hotel
in Florida will not be opened during this
tourist season Yet that regret should be
relieved by the knowledge that the deci-
sion to keep the hotel closed this winter is
due entirely to the. economic stress.
Last winter, at the height of the sea-
son, the guests at the hotel numbered only
six or eight families, sometimes few more,
sometimes a few less, and fearful that a
similar condition would r-evail this winter,
the company, which is pressed for funds,
decided it was unwise to run the risk of
losing more money.
But the hotel will be reopened as soon
as times become normal which is a course
that is being pursued by the on 'NIs of
other resort hotels.
Last summer in some of the most
famous resorts in the country, hotels, in
several notable instances, were not opened,
and, in many cases, were closed much
sooner than had been announced earlier in
the season.
But, if times are better next summer,
those hotels will, be reopened, and if times
l. 100 of
ter, La Casa Marina will be reopened.
In the meantime, let's not talk about
another financial slap at Key West" for
such is not the case. The only financial
slap" The Citizen knows about is general,
not local.

I Granada hills. Like many a great artist, the streets of his home city were the training school. At the age of eight he had discovered | that the metal tops of manholes were resonant first-aids to a lad trying out those heel-taps so es- sential to the Spanish dance. When he was nine, cops were chasing him off the streets as po- lice are accustomed to do with precocious gamins the world over.
 But his efforts had not gone unnoticed by other and older street performers. And so, when little more than nine, Escudero was off through the countrysides of Spain, a wandering gypsy with troup of nomadic performers. They drifted into villages on fete days; they danced at festas and fairs and existed by passing the hat. The day came when this implication of beggary began to bother the growing youth. one day, asked to pass the hat ne re- beIled. He was too proud. A fight ensued, and swinging on tormen- tor Escudero bade farewell to his vagabond companions. He returned to Granada, and now he could ap- pear in the music halls.
 After some years. he made his way to Paris and took n modest studio in the Montparnasse sec ton. While appearing in the music halls, he also improved his technique.
 The legend goes that the studio in which he has spent many years has holes in the floor. testimonials of endless practice at heel tap ping. He has refused to have them mended and although great fame has come to him, Escudero has preferred to remain there.
 One of his innovations was the use of castinets made of various metals. This, of course, was an idea inspired by his days of tap- ping against manhole tops. He made clappers of silver, copper, brass, gold-varying metals to pro- duce bell-like sounds.
 Great French artists came to sketch him and make his portrait pupils sought him out from music halls he rose to a solo artist.
 And now he's headed for New York.
