KEEP YOUR EYE
ON THE BALL

In golf, the fundamental rule impress
ed upon every player, is to keep both
eyes on the ball. This may well be adapt
ed to the oncoming national election, and
be changed to read, Keep your eye on
the main ISSUE"
AT the recent annual convention of
the Advertising Federation of America,
attended by representatives of outstand-
ing types of business which comprise
the American method of production and
selling, Chester H. Lang, president, gave
the best thumbnail picture of the bene-
fits of the American system that has
come to our attention.
Lang declared that the productive ef-
ficiency of our industry has made it
possible for more and more people to
possess more and more things at less
cost.
millions may never know and other
millions may too easily forget what or
ganized research and good engineering
skillful and economical manufacturing
efficient and aggressive merchandis-
ing-all made possible by modern indus
try, have brought to the American peo-
ple," he said.
"This return has been in the form of
goods and services giving comfort, con-
VeUloHco, SdllS1dCllOIl. UedltIl, tuuCdllOll,
entertainment-yes a dozen and one
things for even the lowliest among us
which transcend in true value many
times the so-called luxuries enjoyed only
a little while ago by a few favored citi-
ZenS."
In these few words, Lang succinc.ly
summarizes the business methods which
have given this land the highest living
standards in the world Only too few
realize how blessed with material bene-
fits is the average American compared
to the average European or the average
Asiatic Persons who travel abroad OBJ
tain from their trips one outstanding
value-realizatio that no where in the
world can men and women so enjoy life
and liberty as in the United States.
Whether this system is to be altered,
changed or amended as advocated by
the New Deal is the issue upon which
the people will express themselves in
November. The Democratic party be-
lieves the changes will be beneficial i'm
provements; the Republican party be-
lieves most of the alterations are harm
full handicaps which will seriously i'm
pair our system.
Behind the political ballyhoo and often
clouded by charges and counter charges,
this is the main issue. We owe it to
ourselves not to lose sight of it and not
to be led astray by minor and unimport-
ant issues.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-Vincent
Astor seems to have settled down
to a life of committing between
Bermuda, where he has reared a
palazzo, and the st. Regis hotel,
which he developed into a paying
hobby. The st. Regis was almost
declasse when, bankrupted into his
lap. he became its millionaire Mine
Host.
Astor began to peer into hotel
running chiefly out of curiosity to
see Just what made it tick. And like
Reeves-Smith, the great London
hotelier, became absorbed by its
romance. He found inn keeping
more exciting than polo or cruising
in his luxurious yacht.
When not In Bermuda, he is at
the st. Regis, early and late, whoop-
ing things socially. Puttering about
the kitchens, inspecting wine caves
and on occasion has stood behind
the desk. AS a result, the hotel is
out front again. And the rendez-
vous of society. Wacky, no end!
Astor is a fervid fan of Amos n
Andy and drops everything at the
7 O'Clock hour to tune in. He is also
a window shopper, barging the ave
nue. in the evening to gaze. All Of
which he could buy if he so desired.
Which makes window shopping not
so much fun.

THE DESTRUCTIVE RAT

Public health authorities estimate that
the actual loss caused by rats in the United
States amounts to $500, 900 a year, of
which about one-half is in foodstuffs and
the rest in the destruction of other prop
erty.
The number of rats engaged in these
depredations is estimated at 120,000,0 900,
or about equal to the country's human pop
ulation.
Besides the destructiveness of the rat
is its constant menace to health through
the transmission of disease, especially
bubonic plague, which is spread entirely
by fleas which infest infected rats. While
the disease has been held in check in coun-
tries employing preventive measures, bu-
bonic plague killed more than 100000
people in India during 20-year period. 81
The Public Health Service declares
that if the. extraordinarily prolific breed,
ing of rats were not partially controlled by
natural enemies, disease and the canni-
balistic tendencies of the animal itself
they would soon overrun the world and ex-
terminate man by depriving him of his
sources of food
Like many other present menaces
to property and health, the rat appears to
be taken for granted, and seldom is any
concerted effort made with view to its
determination.

HAS DRINKING DECREASED?

Sixteen years ago the Eighteenth
ton, the Prohibition Amendment, became
effective. 1t was repealed on December
5, 1888, largely by reason of argument
that drinking would decrease and viola
tons of law be reduced.
The facts seem to raise some doubt as
to whether or not drinking has decreased,
Before national prohibition there were
177,790 saloons whereas it .isE estimated
that now there are more than 200, 900 re-
tail outlets; in addition, beer and light
wines are sold in restaurants, groceries,
drug stores and other places.
Deaths and accidents due to drinking
drivers and pedestrians have reached a
high point DR.. Theron w. Kilmer, police
surgeon, of Hampstead, New York, read
paper before the New York police chiefs in
which he showed that the number of drink
ing drivers in 1884 increased over the
figures of 1888 eleven times more than the
number of cars.
Alcohol is preventing more people
from getting life insurance than during
prohibition. The Northwestern Life Insur-
ance Company reports an increase of 149
per cent of alcoholic indulgence as a cause
of rejection among men and women under
thirty years of age. Applications in the
spring of 1885 showed an increase of
cpVQntu-fnnr no in Io ~ 0f
applicants using alcohol as compared with
the same period of 1882.
1t was rather surprising recently to
read that more prisoners are in Federal
prisons today for violating liquor laws
than during prohibition. Distilled spirits
released from bond rose from around six
million gallons during the last year of pro-
h.bition. Distilled spirits released from
bond rose from around six million gallons
during the last year of prohibition to
Early 82.500,000 gallons in 1885. The
! National Civic Federation last year told
the Senate Finance Committee that illegal
selling was depriving federal and state
governments of 100000, 900 in collectible
revenue.
Nor has the repeal of prohibition re-
duced the amount of drinking by women
Police cords for Washington show that
there we're $50 arrests of women adults
for intoxication during the last dry year as
against 1925 such arrests for the wet year
ending June 80, 1885. Arrests of women
between the ages of seventeen and twenty
one, while few in number, show similar
increase.
The manufacturers of alcoholic bev.
erages have not demonstrated themselves
to be interested in temperance. as many
predicted prior to repeal. At the conven
ton of the United States Brewers Associa-
ton in October a woman home economics
editor gave the trade suggestions on how
to increase the sale of beer. She urged
them not to overlook the younger set, say
ing, 1T is the teaching you do now for our
younger generation that is going to help
you increase the percentage of beer con-
sumed by women"

Trading in Key West is the best way
Ito build up business here, but the prob
fem cannot be solved by denouncing a
buyer who goes elsewhere to purchase
furthermore, the business of the local mer-
chants will continue to decline unless they
wake up and advertise their wares con-
stantly not spasmodically as at the present
time. The buying of advertising space
must be considered as an investment and
not as an expenditure.
