EXPECT BETTER
BUSINESS FOR
YEAR OF 1888
FIRST WEEK IN NEW YEAR,
HOWEVER, BROUGHT NO
CHANGE IN GENERAL
TREND OF CONDITIONS

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The first
week in the New Year brought no
change in the general complexion
of business and trade, but conf
dence is manifested in many quar-
ters that 1888 will record a sub
stantial recovery from the depres-
sion, weekly trade reviews said
today.
A combined index of business
shows growing resistance with
the passing of the year of depres-
sion," Bradstreet's asserted.
Dunn's said lin some directions
it is the impression. that moderate
progress will be in evidence dur
ing the first quarter, with a more
definite forward movement toward
close of the period.

Returning to their train but a
few moments before leaving time,
both President and Mrs. Coolidge
expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the natural beauty of
our most interesting city and also
their appreciation of the many
courtesies extended to them and
party.
Although there was not time to
advise the public in general of the
visit of the president and party,
the news was vide spread before
noon and a larfN per cent of the
population viewed the party from
some vantage point during their
tour of Key West.
The downtown streets were
lined with spectators when the
party passed. AT Bayview Park
school children of the city had
gathered and both the president
and the first lady smilingly re-
to the lusty cheers of the
youngsters.
Secretary of the Navy VIII
bur, who was also a member of
the presidents party, did not join
the others in the sightseeing tour
of the city. He. with Captain r.
w. Nicely. commandant ut the
naval station. and other officers,
went on an official inspection of
the naval station.
He expressed himself as being
well pleased with conditions here
and stated that the local sub
marine base is excellently located
for a home for undersea craft
especially during the winter sea-
son.

mer president tomorrow.
Immediate adjournment

also close tomorrow.
Countless public buildings
with half-staffed flags here
mutely indicated a 3O-day
period of mourning pro-
claimed by President Hoo
yer.
Il contained a tribute to
Coolidge hard to surpass
that "his name has become
in his own lifetime a synonym
for sagacity and wisdom"

To. Friends

Congressman r u t h

ton in Washington and
the progress being made

Dan Navarro Not So Well
Pleased With Bull PEN
Environments; Pays Fine

Late yesterday afternoon
Dan Navarro decided that
home and rest was better
than spending the night in
the Bull Pen" in the city
Jail trying to solve picture
puzzles.
Shortly after he refused
to pay his $40 fine and was
sentenced to seven days in
jail, several you(9 lady
friends went to the Jail and
sent him picture puzzles with
which to while away the
time.
Later on he was visited
by Attorney J. Lancelot Les
ter, as a friend and not as
attorney. Mr.. Lester did not
go into the prison but stood
outside and called Mr..
Navarro to the bars. This
he did because he wanted to
see Dan looking through as
Others had been shown.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1933-01-06

Satisfied with the picture
Mr.. Lester called Mr.. Ma
varro outside and prevailed
upon him to pay his fine and
get home. This was not ac-
complished, however, until
he had convinced Mr.. Ma
varro that two people had
died from tuberculosis in the
space he was occupying.
After this Dan decided
that that was no place to be,
so paid his fine of SO and
departed.
The reason for his arrest is
that he offered to pay his oc-
cupational license tax of
500 in city warrants. These
were refused. He was sum-
moned to appear in court
and pay the license in real
cash. This he refused and
was sentenced by Judge
Harry Dongo.

WHITE BATH.
T.. LOSESFAVOR

Americans are becoming more
color conscious and the long
held idea of the all-white bath
room is rapidly losing favor, in
the opinion of manufacturers
of plumbing fixtures who have
been exhibiting their products
at Chicago's "A Century of
Progress Exposition"
Prepared for considerable
period for this swing to color,
these manufacturers have daz-
zled even the most color-minded
with their exhibits.
Complete bathrooms, as well
as separate fixtures, are pre-
scented in such shades as
Orchid of VincenneS, Ming
Green and Corallin.
Noting the effect of the visi-
tors of these colors, H. r.
Trout, interior decorator of
American Radiator and STAND
ard Sanitary Corporation, de-
clareS:
AT first there is evidence
Of q somewhat startled or
amazed reaction on the part
of the visitor, then a smile Of
appreciation and finally an
obvious desire to have a col
i OrfuI bathroom. Those who
have felt that cOlOred fix
lures are bizarre are quickly
convinced when they visit the
| Worlds Fair exhibits that
these afford the most eco
nOmical means of attaining
! charm and distinction in the
bathroom"

Heavy Oil Leads
To Paint Checking

The practice Of adding large
quantities of linSeed oil to thin
down a printing coat of paint
is one of the most frequent
causes of checking. Printing
coats should be applied with
fairly heavy pigment concen-
tration and the thinner used
preferably should be of a vola-
tile nature, so that firm, hard
drying will be obtained. If such
a practice is followed, checking
and alligorating will be largely
overcome.
