lacquer chest, which sprang open
and revealed an inner compartment.
Angela fancied she caught a CLEAN
in the whites of his eyes. His fin
gers moved mysteriously at the
back Of the chest, pressing on secret
case. From its velvet folds, which
seemed to hold the dust and dead
odor of centuries, he drew out a
bracelet and suspended it with a
clash before her eyes.

to get into! His favorite officer,
and he wasn't a fool with women,
either. He'd have to haul him over
the Goals, though it probably wasn't
his fault at all. Dick had been cold
to more attractive women than Miss
Nudge. The captain knew all about
him. But a scene like this-before
passengers! 1t wouldn't do.
The chief officer had turned his
back and was hastily swallowing a
drink. Angela and Macduff stood
in appalled, silence. No one knew
what tack to take, but Miss, Nudge
herself took hold of the situation.
Ignoring them all, she put her arm
around Joan's dropping shoulders
and said in a clear, high voice;

was drunk enough tor anything.
SUDDENLY Joan's. voice rose, strident
and hysterical, over the babel of
tongues, arresting the attention of
everyone in the room. Miss Nudge
was blinking at her, not knowing
what it was all about. Joan, a blaz-
ing fury Of red locks and dishevel-
ment, was bending over her and
shouting things that made Angela's
heart stand still.
"You think Dick loves you, you
poor little simp!" she cried. well,
you're mistaken. He loves me. Do
you understand? He loves me. He's
laughing at you. Yes, l saw him
kiss you on the deck at Yokohoma,
after you had thrown yourself into
his arms. l saw you faint, you silly
little crow. You didn't see me in
the beach chair, did you? Why did
you ever leave Ohonto, or wherever
it is you come from? Why did you
ever think you could come around
the world and behave like anyone
else? Don't you know you're a
sketch? Takesa look at y~ourself!"
Joan threw back her head and
laughed. Dick tried to intervene,
but she pushed him off and took
finer hold of Miss Nudge, on
whose face a slow realization was
dawning.
You think because Dick dances
with you that he's in love with you
and not with me. Well, he's laugh
ing at you up his sleeve. Every
body knows he's making fun of
you, but you're too simple to know
it. He knows you're forty-three

THE COMMON DUTY OF ALL

With the definite objective of reduc
ing traffic deaths and injuries by seven
per cent each year, the National Safety
Council has launched five year highway
safety campaign. The goal may be reach
ed and surpassed if the people of the Uni
ted States give some serious thought to
the problem.
Readers of The Citizen are aware of
the annual death toll of SO, 900 lives, the
injury of more than a million persons, and
the unaccountable monetary loss through
motto, vehicle accidents. It's hard for the
average person to realize the enormity of
the social ffense. Only when death and
destructi happens in our midst do we ap-
prehend the reality of the deadly threat
This article is not designed to discuss
methods of reducing accidents. Many
plans have been suggested and consider
able progress made in some localities. We
should recognize that there is no one cause
of accidents and no one remedy. Many
defects require many remedies.
The people of Key West should not
dispose of this safety drive by considering
it "just another campaign" They should
demand that conditions here be watched
and that advantage be taken of experience
elsewhere. While no one community can
bring about safety on the highway, the
people of every community can contribute
their part toward the war on the highway
terror.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

1t is strange human trait that in
later life man often boasts of the very
things of which he was somewhat ashamed
in his youth. Successful men point with
pride to their humble origin, to their early
struggles and mental nature of their first
employment.
And it is just cause for pride to
have overcome such obstacles through
ones own energy and determination. There
il no doubt that the man who has had to
fight his way from the bottom is generally
better off, hard as it may have seemed to
him while undergoing the experience
1t is equally true that many men fail
because of a false pride which causes them
to shrink from humble tasks which might
lead to ultimate success. Henry Ford was
machinist's helper, Thomas A. Edison
was newsbOy, John D. Rockefeller was
clark, and neither had any early education
to speak of. They and thousands of others
succeeded because they were not ashamed
to toll with their hands until something
better presented itself
Not every boy can become Ford, an
Edison, or Rockefeller, but everyone who
is not afraid or ashamed to work can make
an honorable and useful place for himself,
and q doesn't have to begin in white
collar job, either.

NEW PAIN PREVENTIVE

Wat is declared to be a pain dead
ener which will really make painless den
tistry an accomplished fact has been an
nounced by Columbia University as a dis
cOvery by DR.. Leroy l.. Hartman of that
institutions dental school.
The new desensitizer, perfected by
DR.. Hartman after 20 years of research
and experimentation, is described as So
luton which when applied to the surface
of tooth not only prevents pain but of
fers possibilities of saving teeth which
otherwise have to be extracted.
1t becomes effective in less than two
minutes after application and remains eff
fective from 20 minutes to an hour. The
new solutions action is said to be made
possible by previously unknown sub
stance in the dentin of the tooth.
The new discovery is to be patened
and the rights assigned to Columbia Uni
versity, which will control its price and
quality, so as to make it available to the
public and prevent commercial exploita
ton.
DIR. Hartman says the new desensitiZe1
causes no aftereffectS, as do certain other
drugs, and that its method of use is so SIM
pie that the patient need not be aware OF
its application.
If the new discovery does what is
claimed for it, the dentists admonition to
"open wider, please; this isn't going to
hurt may in time be accepted with as
surance by the patient in his chair.
