THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRACEWELL.

In pursuit Of the small curiosities Of
life, some one has asked the following
question:
Why does the nose invariably itch
when ones hands are fully occupied?
Every one knows how 1t Is!
Just start upon some task In which
the hands are used continuously, the
nose Immediately begins to tingle.
This is such a common phenomenon
that every one has noticed 1t.
material. such as glue, the itching of
the proboscis will begin just as the hands
become fairly well touched with the
material.
Any cleaning job which involves quite
dirty hands will start the old nose to
itching furiously.
Old household lore says that an Itch
ing nose means that a visitor is coming
However that may be, the twinges of
this faithful organ somehow seem tied
up solidly with any task which de-
mands the full use of both hands.
Printers are about the only men In
the world who solve this small problem
of the everyday.
They do it by cutting the Gordian
knot, as it were-they scratch anyway.
That is why one sees printers with ink
smared all over their faces. They are
forceful men. They knew how to put
q nose in its place.
The real printers nowadays are the
presSmen, or men who work on the
presses.
Those who used to be called printers
are compositors today.
What curious things words are!

operations which 60 to make q news

stamp, which is stuck to letter, might
be termed appropriately q stick"
There is never any telling what fea-
ture OF q thing will appeal most to the
popular imagination. and thus end up
by being the generally used name.
The word stamp" was right enough
when all such indications Of postage
paid were really stamped on with an

But stamps are stamps no longer, ex-
cept in rare instances. they are sticks, "
or even "stucks," really.
A nice messy glueing Job Is one of
the best tests of all as to the ability
Of nose to run true to form in the
itching way.
1t may be that the odor Of most
pocesses, in the use of glue or any other
material. excites the nerve ends.
1t may be that slight itching Of the
nose Is a great deal more common than
most persons think it Is, that the aver
age person touches the end OF the nose
q great deal more than he thinks he
does
This may be something like the in
voluntary batting Of the eyelids, which
Is mostly q totally unconscious process
going on all the time
There are some persens however who
seem to be aflicted with what might
be termed an extra rapid twitching Of

tices in other people.
It may be that the human nose itches
as part Of its daily Job.
Now a nose is a good feature Of the
face: it ought to be accorded the full
right to itch whenever 1t wants to.
Itching Is another one Of the physio-

One Of the lessons In economics that

TENNIS GROUP
WANTS COURT
IMPROVEMENTS
CLAIM SPACE BEHIND BASE
LINES IN CITY PARK HAZ-
ARDOUS To PLAYERS;
TOURNAMENT SOON

At the last meeting of the Key
West Tennis Association many
things of interest to the tennis
players of Key West were discuss
ed.
One of the important topics was
/ the condition of the courts at the
City Park. In their present shape
they are hazardous to the player
running behind the baseines, it is
stated. 1t is the plan of the club
to raise money necessary to repair
these courts. and to this end ex-
poets the aid of all tennis enthus-
lasts and citizens. especially as all
improvements will be done ON city
property.
The club also voted to have a
ranking and challenge board to be
governed by set of rules resolved
by the Tennis Committee, which is
composed of five members, name
tly, A. Gomez, r. Pinder, J.. Sim
clair, C. Sawyer and C. Salas. Each
player will be given temporary
ranking on this board and he will
have the right to challenge the
man above him and go up as far
as possible.
This tennis committee also has
charge of all arrangements to be
made for the annual Park tourna-
ment which, it was decided, will be
held on September 3rd. This tourn-
ament will be open to anyone.
1t is anticipated that as soon as
the committee collects all data. an
other meeting of the club will be
called. at which all those who wish
to Join should attend. 1t is the
aim of the club to promote tennis
enthusiasm in the city, and all
members will be glad to coach any
one who wishes to learn the game.

ton.

be in their favor with great field
ling and pitching performance,
| Then like a bolt out of the blue,
the lights flickered and went out!
The lighting system could not be
repaired at once and the game had
to be called off. As it was only
the end of the fourth, the game
had to be played over.
Last night it was just the OPP
posite. The Lopez Funeral team
was ahead Al and the Cubs were
starting to pick up in their hitting,
when, at the end of the fifth in
ming, just a few moments after the
Hast Cub man was put out, the rain
came down in torrents and the
jumps called the contest, giving the
victory and the series to the Fun
eral Home.
Aguilar's Cubs had several OPP
portunities of tieing the score but
bad base running ruined its
chances.
Before the rain came down Grit
fin. of the Cubs, hit a hard ground
er to Baker at shortstop, who made
a doubleplay by tagging Medina
on second base and tossing the bali
over to first base to catch the
batter.
Interest in diamondball is being
worked up again. Everyone is try

seam which has won every series
so far this summer season. An
other team is being organized to
play the leading Undertakers.

THURSDAY Tits
MAJOR TRADES INVOLVED, AS
sPoTTSWooD AND PRICE
LINE UP PLAYERS FOR
CLOSE MATCH
CIV CHIP SHoTl

! Glenn Price and Bob SpottswOOd
will take over the helm Of the
Divot Diggers and Bunker Hill
teams in the forthcoming golf
matches at the local course on
Thursday afternoon, and some
hard-fought duels are predicted.
After much wrangling and jockey
ing of players between the cap
tains, the following lineup was
agreed upon for Thursday:
Captain Price, of the d. DIS,
Twill take Bill Demeritt and lock
IImashies with Captain Spottswood
E'and Sam Goldsmith in Battle of
BRIDES. I" This will be a tight one
and fight to the finish. h.
The second round will see J. j.
(0le Maestro) Kirschenbaum and
Willie Kemp matching shots with
the brothers Artman-Veterans VS..
Youths.
The third inning brings together
two old rivals and ex-captains,
when Willie Watkins and Melvin
Russell meet Eddie Strunk and
Charlie Ketchum, which win also
be toss-up.
Mayor Bill Malone win be sep
arated from his side-kick, Gold
smith, in this contest to play with
Otto Kirchheiner in opposing Bob
Showers and George Brooks. This
fracas should make history.
Earl Julian will team with A. M.
EIewett in offering opposition to
the combination of A. F. Ayala
and Bascom Grooms.
In the sixth bracket We find
Norvin Maloney, Jr., teamed with
Jack Hayes ready to go in against
Young Lester and Leo Warren.
The seventh match will be a
''grudge" when Berlin Sawyer and
John Carbonell take on Lewis
pierce and Big Bob Maddox. Berlin
learned how to Talk Turkey" in
last thursdays game, and will
probably let John do most of the
playing. Maddox has challenged
Berlin for the championship of
Fleming street.
It.. Ford and DIR. Warren will
oppose Major Rhine and Curry
Harris, and military tactics as we'll
as strategy will be used.
Norberg Thompson will team
with Lance Lester and battle it out
with Andrew Miller and A. c..
Elgin.
Sheriff Karl Thompson and
"Sully" Sullivan will make appear
ance and cross niblicks with Rus
sell Kerr and Butler in the last
race.
As was agreed upon last Thurs
day, tax of two-bits Ito you) will
be levied on each player for BAN
quet at the end of the month when
