answered Eileen Marion, aged sew
en-, of Alta, California. She was
talking over the phone to the sta
tion agent. A few minutes before
she had seen a broken rail in the
tracks near her home, and she had
the quick wit to call the station
agent. for she understood the
semaphore signal that told of the
approach of a train. Already,
however, the train was past the
station, and the agent frantically
begged Eileen to run up the track
and signal the engineer to stop.
She was little, as she had said, but
she ran so fast, and waved her
apron so vigorously that the train
stopped and a wreck was averted.
SO many of us are content with
saying that we are small and I'M
able to do anything and let it go
at that. If we would only adopt
the attitude of this little girl, "Tn
try, the Lord would bless our eff
forts, and each of us would be a
great asset to His Kingdom. God
has not created us without our tall
ents. Let us use them for Him!

and Mrs. de Gaetani. who were
spending a short vacation in Key
West. are convinced that no mere
delightful climate can be found in
the world than is found here.
Before leaving for Miami the
doctor told The Citizen he was
planning a more extended visit
some time in the near future, as
he wanted to see more of this de-
lightful island.
His visit was principally a bust
ness one with Italian Vice Consul
Hugo Diamandi. and had he
known. he said, what variety of
entertaining scenes could be seen
in Key West he would have made
arrangements to stay longer.
While many people in Florida
are acquainted with the doctor.
there are number of students in
the state who are better acquaiut-
ed with his brother who. says the
doctor. is professor of languages
at Florida University.

Over Sixty Miamians SojOurn
In Key West This Afternoon

Upwards Of so Miamians are
spending the afssrnqon IN Key
West awaiting the. sailing of the
Steamship Florida. of the r. and
o. 5. S. Company, which Is sched-
uled to leave for Havana II
o'clock tonight.
There are number of other
passengers also awaiting the sail
ing Of the ship which is being held
here until the May Day celebra-
ton in Havana is concluded.
Most of those in the Miami
group are members of the Miami
HeraId's good will tour to Cuba
which was arranged, it is shown,
as friendly gesture in return for
the Cuban representation sent by
the government to participate in
the Pan-American celebration in
Miami several weeks ago.
OF course there was a certain
disappointment in not being able
to sad on time. but when it was
explained that the p: and o. S. s.
Company deemed it best for all
concerned to postpone the sailing
Of the Florida until tonight, the
passengers were satisfied.
In Cuba, May 1, was officially
declared a holiday, with the un-
dcrstanding that meeting may be
held and all classes enjoy the day,
but issued dictum TO the effect
that no Red demonstrations would
be permitted.
May ! in Cuba has been marked
BY disturbances in other years.
and Il was deemed safest to hole.
the vessels Of the company in Key
West until the day was over.
For the same reason. and also
that no work would be done IN
loading the ship. the Ferry Par
rott was held over with no sailing
last night. but viii resume
schedule tonight and take on pine
apples and other freight, return.
ing tomorrow evening. il is ex.
pected.
