BROOKS DIFFERS
ABOUT LICENSES
TO SELL LIQUOR
FORMER STATE ATTORNEY
HAS TAKEN ISSUE WITH
SOME ATTORNEYS PER-
TANNING TO ISSUE

Former State Attorney George
G. Brooks takes issue with some
other attorneys in Key West re-
lative to the necessity of seeur-
ing license before a dealer can
sell intoxicants.
In a conversation with Mr..
Brooks relative to an article re-
Gently published in FTe Citizen
citing the requirements of the
law and the attitude of the at
torney general, he said that in his
opinion intoxicants can be sold
without the necessity of securing
a license.
In other words, it is his opin-
ion that every ruling law and reg
ulation relative to the sale of
WHISTLES. wines and liquors of all
kinds, except beer, in the state of
Florida was abrogated by the ae-
tion Of the voters or November
6. and no laws will be effective
until af.er the next meeting OF
the state legislature.
This opinion does not apply ex-
cept to those four counties IN
Florida which were known as wet
counties before nationwide prohi-
bition was made effective.

gain in the Key West district than
anywhere in the state, according
to figures compiled and just made
public by the research and Stats
tics department OF the Florida
Emergency Relief Administration
The figures given are compare
tive OF the months of September
and October.
While the average over the state
in the weighted index increased
2 percent in retail food costs, the
Key West district showed an in
crease of only .73 percent. The
greatest increase noted was in
District 8 of the old setup, which
includes Palm Beach and West
Palm Beach. The next greatest
increase was in District 10. which
embraces the Miami area. The in
creases in that area are attribut-
ed to the influx Of tourists.
In every district increases were
noted, with the least pereeptible
change in Key West. With the cost
of retail foods in February. 1884.
as the basis for study made by
the research department in Jack
sOnville, Key Vests food costs
stood in October at 1875 percent

WINNER OF NOBEL
PRIZE CONTINUES
WITH USUAL WORK
WRITING AWARD WILL NOT
HALT WORK OF PIRAN-
DELLo. ACCORDING TO RE-
CENT STATEMENT
By ANDRUE BERDING
(By Associated Prezxl

ROME, Nov. 27.-"Work" ex-
claimed Luigi PirandeIlo inter-
negatively. "why, I've scarcely
started I've got lots of ideas still
and therefore lots of work to
do"
The 67-year-Old playwright who
has just won the Nobel prize for
literature smiled as he said it. To
Pirandello a smile means a hum
dred wrinkles around the eyes. a
stretching of the thin white NOUS
tache and a wriggling of his rab-
bit's-foot whitebeard.
Prize Won't Halt Him
Pirandello recently completed a
play on a large scale called
Giants OF the Mountain" which
he had intended for America be-
cause OF the extensive stage set
ting required. He now is putting
on the Italian stage a play called
"0ne Doesn't Know How" And
he is drafting the outlines of
another play.
That's past, present and
future" ne said. '.One thing leads
to another. So you see | am go
ing to keep busy. The Nobel
prize VIII not bring any halt to
my work"
Fascist In Thought
Pirandello Is a fascist, wears a
fascist button, and uttered a
fascist sentiment when ne said ne
was glad he had won the Nobel
prize because OF the honor this
brings Italy.
He Is the third Italian to re-
ceive this award. The second was
the woman writer Grazia Deledda.
Asked how he preferred TO
work, PirandelIO first lit a cigar
cite. Then he seated himself on
backless but cushioned stool,
and drew up to him a little table
on which was perched an Amer
lean typewriter. Since the legs
of the table were joined with
cross bars. his legs were cramped.
Nevertheless ne crossed them half
after the fashion o. a tailor, and
set to work.
With PirandellO to work means
to bend over and perch the left
elbow on the table. with the cigar
cite in the air. In this position
he begins TO tap on the typewriter
with one finger of the right hand.
Il never write with more than
one finger he said.
When he finishes a script. his
son, who acts as his secretary,
copies it.
PirandeIlo may be compared TO
the English writer Conrad who
began to publish at the age Of
so. Pirandelio wrote many novels
and short stories, but did not be-
gin to write plays until ne was
80. 1t is particularly his plays
that have made him famous.
Studies State Theater Plan
In recent years PirandellO has
had TO devote some Of his time TO
the duties that have fallen upon
him under the fascist government.
He has been made a member OF
the Royal Academy of Italy and
has had to attend its meetings. He
has been consulted frequently by
the Fascist Corporation Of the
Spectacle, the government theater
guild which supervises all theatre
cal activities.
He Is much interested in the
project being studied by the gov
eminent to create a state theater.

Working under this slogan, local
merchants and the Post Office
Department are making plans for
one of the most intensive early
Christmas shopping campaigns
ever waged here.
At a meeting of the shop-early
committee Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association in the
association offices today, Sylvan

Washington post office, outlined
campaign plans.
Merchants this year are pre-
pared. they assure postal authori-
ties, to place Christmas merchan-
disc on their counters far earlier
than in former years. This will
encourage earlier mailing, they
point out, and help to lessen the
annual last-minute rush.
Street cars will display "shop-
early" warning signs, newspapers,
radio stations, theaters, and all
civic organizations will urge early
purchasing, and more than 200,-
900 pieces of publicity matter will
be sent out by the Post Office De-
partment.
Among those attending today's
meeting and promising to have
Christmas merchandise ready for
the opening day of the campaign,
November 26, were:
Edward Shaw, secretary of the
committee; Sylvan King, chair
man; I. E. Snyder, Kings Palace;
