BEGIN HERE TODAY

Julia Craig, pretty young Sec
rotary to George Woodford, law
yer, is ambitious TO become a
right club singer. Julia shares an
apartment with Amy Sanders.
Peter kamp, young lawyer, is
in love with Julia but they quar-
rel ard Julia declares she never
wants to see him again.
Woodford gives party aboard
his yacht ard asks Julia to come
to sing for his guests, including
Cintra Lee, dorcer; Mrs. Joseph,
widow; Hugo Mash, and Royal
Nesbitt. Julia goes, later regrets
it when she learns the cruise is to
be much longer than q Weekend.
The yacht lands at Evergreen
Island where Woodford has
lodge. There Julia meets Tom
Payson, who offers to help her
get away, but Paysor is discov-
cred or the yacht and forced to
leave.
Ncskitt is injured while the
men are hunting. Woodford's
party leaves at o~cc to get Mes
bitt to a doctor.
Julia arrives home. Cintra Lee
telephones and tells her she can
have a job singing on Tony Lat
ta's gambling ship.
NOW CO Or WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVI
In the days that followed, Julia
learned for the truth what she
had always suspected - thai
singing in a night club was hard
work. To many it seemed gay
and irresponsible life, held up on
the brittle surface of tunes from
Tin Pan Alley. But they forgot
The grinding hours of rchearsals,
and they overlooked the difficult
ty Of working while others were
rlaying.
Julia began to see that it was
not so bad, after all, to work
from $50. until because at 3
you were finished and your life
was your own. You could have
your dinner and you could go to
bed when you chose. If young
man called up for a date, you
could accept it. She began to envy
Amy Sanders little, still at the
gown shop, still free when the
doors closed and the town relaxed
for amusement or rest.
Eut this was what she had
wanted, and she did not finch
now. Every day she met with the
orchestra at II o'clock i'll the
morning. They rehearsed in a
small building down town - and
sometimes the rchearsals dragged
on Into the afternoon. Then Julia
would have something to eat,
breakfast realiy--for she vent to
rehesrsals the moment she was
out Of bed and dressed. Following
a re& at her apartment, shs
would start for Latta's gambling
ship about $50 or G. 1T was not
often that she could return to
town before l the next morning
Rarely did she see Amy now
and when she did it was only toi
a few minutes at a time. Ihcl'
best talks now were on the nights

For some time there have been

have this matter properly pre-
scented at the meeting of the

Wednesday night, the petitions
We're filed with County Clerk Ross
C. Sawyer today.
The legal requirements are
that 20 per cent or one fifth of
the qualified voters of the city
must have signed the petitions.
Those presented to the clerk to-
day carried the signatures of 826
citizens, which is slightly more
than the required 20 per cent.
II the petitions are found to be
correct at the meeting of the

Sawyer will be instructed to have
this matter placed on the ballots
for the November 8 election.

Standard Fruit and Steamship
company, arrived 4:55 yesterday
afternoon from New York, took
on 50,640 gallons of fuel oil at
the Porter Dock company, and
sailed II o'clock for Frontera,
Mexico.
Three incidents of the trip to
Key West makes the visit note
worthy. Rafael Masonet suffered
a stroke of paralysis of the right
side and was taken to the Marine
hospital. Marcelina Coleto went
to the hospital to have some severe
burns dressed.
A negro who boarded the YES
sci at Norfolk and slowed away,
was discovered after the ship was
at sea and the Porter company
was advised he was on board.
In the meantime Captain
Charles S. Hill, of the Granada,
sent a radiogram to Norfolk to
find out if the negro was wanted
there. The reply was mot
wanted" and he was booted
ashore at Key West.
Steamship Ozark, of the Clyde
Mallory Lines, arrived 2:30
o'clock this morning from Jack
sonville and Miami with a fairly
good assortment of freight.

Key West was unloaded, a con-
signment of pipe for the sewerage
project of the WPA and other
miscellaneous lots were landed at
this port, and the vessel sailed at

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-Re-
gardless of what critics may say
of Us decisions, the supreme court
is always majestic.
Once housed in inches and cor
ners of the catacombic capitol, the
court now has building of its own
.wo blocks away that cast a dozen
million.
In the half hour before the
court cOn:enes the atmosphere of
the chamber is like nothing so
much as funeral. There is a bit
of whispering. Acquaintance nod
gravely.
Enter. the Court
Far back of the chamber muff-
ed electric huzzer barrs exactly at
the noon hour. All in the court
rise. From a half dozen apertures
back of their seats come the JUS
tees, black gowned, unsmiling,
assured.
"Oyez, oyez, oyer" begins
the solemn litany of the clerk,
ending: "God save the United
States and this. honorable court"
The nine justices sit, four upon
either side of the gray whiskered
chief justice. Charles Evans
Hughes.
They looked fit and alert after
a summers vacation, their face7
bronzed, their figures erect. One
reporter cracked: "The summer
didn't make dent in any of
them" Another said the lead on
his story would say: "The court
is here to stay" Yet six are over
20, all eligible to retire. The three
others are past 60.
Among the first duties imposed
upon them was to decide whether
to consider again an act of the
New York state legislature fixing
minimum wages for women. In a
first decision the court held the
law unconstitutional.

READY TO RETURN

Mrs. Francis Best Watkins,
of Chicago, ILL.,, who came to
Key West last year for a stay
of six weeks and remained
for six months. is again let
ting her thoughts wander to
this part of Florida and
would like to be assured of a
residence for herself and
five friends.
Those who met and knew
Mrs. Watkins when she was
here last winter say that the
following excerpt from her
letter is typical of her ex-
pressions concerning this
city:
with the advent of
gloomy weather we are cast
ing our eyes in the direction
of Florida; Florida to us
means Key West (and pity on
those who think it means Mi
ami)."
Mrs. Frederick Lee and
son Fred, who are regular
winter visitors from New
Jersey, have written they will
arrive about November 4 for
their regular winter visit, and
will occupy the Watkins cot
tage on Avenue E.
