DEFER ACTION in
ROSENTHAL CASE
in DADE COUNTY
PROCEEDINGS WILL BE HELD
UP UNTIL SUPREME COURT
RENDERS DECISION IN
MATTER

No action is to be taken on the
request of an attorney for George
J. Rosenthal that the Dade county
commission eliminate from a re-
Gently adopted resolution the Sec
ton naming the Overseas Bridge
Corporation as the proper organ
ization to construct the bridges,
until after the supreme court has
rendered its decision in the quo
warranto proceedings.
The resolution in question was
adopted by the Dade county COM
mission February IA, endorsing
the publicly sponsored Overseas
Bridge Corporation for the con.
struetion of the waterfiIl and
bridges on the highway between
Miami and Key West.
In appearing before the board
the attorney stated that naming
the Overseas Corporation as the
logical body for the construction
might prejudice the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation" before
whom Mr.. Rosenthal has applied
for a loan of approximately $12,.
000, 900.
The Overseas Bridge Corpora
ton was organized as a corpora
ton not for profit by members oil
the Dade and Monroe county com.
missions, and the cities of Miami
and Key West.
The franchise which Mr. Rosen-
thai holds from the Monroe coun.
ty body was declared void by the
commissioners because of his fail.
ure TO post his bond of $500. 600
as stipulated in said franchise. He
did post a bond but it was per.
sonal and carried no sureties. This
suit now pending in supreme
court will determine the validity
Of this franchise. This suit was
brought by Dade and Monroe
counties.
The supreme court some months
| ago cited that . franchise held b.
the Overseas Bridge Corporation
granted by the state road repart-
ment vas invalid, bat did not at
that time make any effort to pass
. on the validity of the franchise
granted to Mr.. Rosenthal By ths
Monroe county commission.

by a badly lacerated scalp.
Richard was calling on Violene
and finding the hostess quarrel

objected. Richard decided that
objections on Violene's part had
no weight with him. and started
to leave.
Violene determined that Rich
ard was not to leave and as argu-

she picked up a milk bottle and
broke it over Richards head.
The scene of action was Emma

DIR. M. v. Mayer, of the Shedd

and DIR. Mayer told The Citizen
that he expects to have a suffi-
cient number of fish by next Tues
day to leave on the afternoon
train that day.
The arrival of DIR. Mayer and
his party is always the signal for
the small boys around the docks to
get out their minnow hooks and
thread and go after the many
specimens of small fish that are
found around the wharves.
The boys get five cents a piece
for acceptable specimens and some
of the boys make as much as a
dollar in one afternoon, when
they are lucky, and they usually
are.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN
The First Call

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
About two months ago a very
good friend of ours, with her
husband, was out of the State
on a Two weeks vacation. Just
about the time they returned
we went on our vacation for two
weeks. after which we were
busy canning fruit, cleaning
house and other things, and so
We did not get to see these
friends until just the other day.
Asking why they had not called
upon us, we discovered that the
lady was greatly offended, say
ing that it was our duty to call
upon her first. We had eX-
tended the last hospitality to
them about two weeks before
they left and had not seen the
lady since. Whose duty was it
to call first? H.
do agree with you that this
was rather a narrow and ridic-
ulouS attitude for this friend to
take, an attitude with no justi-
fication. In this busy world .
and yours sounds very busy
these days. it sounds rather
immature not to understand
another's life. and certainly i'm
mature for a person to consider
that a two weeks vacation
should be taken with such Sc
riouS social consideration.
The best thing for you to do,
think. is to let this glide cas-
ually over your life, and very
soon, as if nothing had been
said or done, invite this friend
to tea or to dine with you at
your home.

Therefore, since the color and
actual size of the eyes cannot
be changed, their beauty must
be cultivated by health, ex-
preston, cosmetics and exercise.
For PuffineSS
At least seven hours of COM
Portable, relaxed sleep in we'll
ventilated room will keep the
eyes from appearing tired. The
systematic and regular use Of
an eyecup and an eyewash will
keep the eyes cleansed from i'm
puritieS.
For puffineSs that occurs oc-
casionally under the eyes, we
advise the following treatment:
Lie down for at least 20 min
utes while taking the treatment,
and place by your side a bowl
containing one quart Of hot
water to which has been added
two teaspoonfuls of plain table
salt. Saturate pads of alb
sorbent cotton in the salt water
and place over your eyes, re-
placing them as they cool.
Eye Exercises
Here are two exercises which
are highly beneficial to the
eyes. Rolling the eyes is the
simplest of eye exercises and is
done by holding the lids wide
apart and rotating the eyeballs
10 times to the right and 10
times to the left, keeping the
The Washington times., 1933-12-05

eyes wide open. When you have
done this close the lids and
count 10 and then repeat the
rolling exercise several times.
Another good eye exercise is
to look straight ahead of you
and lower and raise the upper
lids 20 times without moving
the lower lids-and then close
the eyes and count five.
Follow this by holding the
head rigid; look ahead of you,
and then turn the eyeballs as
far to the right as you can
and then as far to the left as
possible. Repeat 10 times and
then close the lids and count
slowly to 10.
The best advice we can give
you is always to remember to
hold your eyes wide open, try
not to frown or squint, and be
sure every morning of your life
to use the eyecup with boric
acid solution or some other
eyewash.

She Went Away After Six
Weeks
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am % years of age, flor
ist by trade, and try always to
look for the bright side of life.
I am married to a girl a few
years younger than myself. We
were to live with my people
until spring. However, I had
the chance to rent reasonably
a home already entirely furn-
ished, but she said she preferred
to remain with my parents,
which we did.
Six weeks after our marriage
she eloped with man who is
the father Of two children, one
and two years of age. In less
than a year she began writing,
asking forgiveness and asking
me to take her back. Her
pleading finally softened me,
but when she returned her con-
dition was such that I sent her
home to her parents. Since
then she has disappeared.
1 do not believe much in
divorce, yet did ever a man
have a more just cause for
divorcing his wife? Besides, my
present income does not war
rant the expense of suing for
one. 1 am not contemplating
another marriage, but I despise
being bound to a woman of her
sort. Can you give me any ad-
vice in this matter?
CHARLES.
You have certainly had a raw
deal, my dear man, and much
of your letter I couldn't print.
In your city there is a very good
Legal Air Society, and I should
lose no time in consulting them
about your case. I hope sincere
ly that real happiness may come
your way soon.

Suggestions
For
Christmas
BY Victoria Gaines
For NewIy-Weds


If you have a couple of young
neWlyweds on your Christmas
list, give them something for
their homes, since that's near
est to their hearts right now.
They've probably got their
tables and chairs and china al
ready, but wedding checks being
the inelastic affairs they are,
they may have been unable to
stretch them to include the
little knick-knacks they'd like.
So make your gift some gay,
amusing trifle.
Something like a Dresden
porcelain figure fits into almost
any room that isn't strictly
modern or early American, and
is therefore a safe and sane
gift. It will look we'll on an
occasional table now, and can
be converted into a charming
lamp base later.
With the mid-Victorian per-
iod in such high favor among
decorators, group of wax
flowers under glass might be
just the thing for your fire
place mantel. And speaking of
flowers, there are some highly
decorative ones of fish scales
of all things-that duplicate
the color and texture of the
real thing in a startling way.
They have the added advantage
of being able to bend and twist
into desired shape without
breaking.
However, if she's one of these
modern-minded young things,
you couldn't do better than
send her group of crystal
fruit, filled with colored water,
for her dining room table.
Lamps are always a good
gift choice-and an all-white
lamp will fit in almost anywhere.
There's one lovely lamp in neo-
classic design that goes with
either modern or period furnish
ings-a white leather shade
with a gold-and-w white toile
base.

Although this is primarily a
fashion story, it's impossible
not to talk a little about the
struggles of the feather people
in Paris and America, the peo-
pie who have really suffered
from the disdain with which
fashionables have looked on
feathers for many years.
Feathers "Out"
When feathers were Gin" be-
fore, many thriving businesses
lived on them. The ostrich
growers sold plumes for goodly
sums. The finishers then reaped
a small margin, and the whole
salers and retailers came in for
their share of the booty. Then
the fashion died! What woe
there was!
For at least 10 years, the
Parisians with feather" inter-
ests have tried to bring back
VIC 4A4OuoC1ys
Each year they would send
models to the races and other
smart places attired in fine raj
ment, and wearing feathers.
But it was all Of no avail.
1t is not the persistence Of
the interested people that have
brought feathers back this year,
but it is Old Lady Fashion her
self.
1t is our mode of elegance
and femininity that makes them
smart, and makes fashionable
women buy and wear them.
To get to the fashion part of
the story, feathers of all types
are in good favor, and ostrich
feathers are particularly popu-
lar.
But how differently they are
used now. They are seldom on
hats, and they do not make
boaS.
They are either a part of a
garment, or they make a whole
accessory themselves.
Capes Are Popular
Ostrich capes. ostrich muffs,
bags trimmed with strips of the
curly feathers, and dresses or
coats trimmed with them are
all smart. Even handkerchiefs
sport a circle or frill of feath-
ers. Cog feathers are used SIM
1larly, but ostrich really holds
the center of the stage. You can
use them in other ways and be
quite original, if you wish, but
the above list covers the favor
ties.
Our photograph shows a cape

ends to make it fluffy, but not
too frou-frou. The bag is of
velvet, and has a fringe of the
same feathers around it.

Hints

Cough Syrup
A good cough syrup can be
made at home by combining
one cup cherry juice from can
ned cherries, one cup sugar,
one tablespoon vinegar, one
half teaspoon salt, one-half
teaspoon pulverized alum and
simmering it few minutes.
Long Life Tins
New baking tins will last
longer if rubbed over with lard
and left in a warm oven for
about 10 minutes before they
are used the first time.
Hanging Shirts
In putting out your wash
hang all shirts up by the tail;
they will iron easier and look
better.
