Then come the free lancers with
works in water color and oil, and in
some instances pastel. Here are two
excellent water colors by Janice Hol-
land, a former pupil of the Corcoran
School, an exhibition of whose work
her first "one-man" Show-was held
at the Corcoran Gallery about a year
ago. One of these Is entitled Sun
burst" the other is Of boats; both are
rendered with directness and sincerity,
but possess real and intrinsic beauty
as does Jawn Aliens Sunset" re-
Gently remarked Are the younger
generation, as they acquire strength
and deeper insight, as well as COM
mand Of medium, coming to the un-
derstanding that this. after all. is that
which gives eternal life to art? 1t
would seem so.
In this section there is also a paint
ing by Adriene Low, entitled Rusty
Water" which savors not a little Of
Winslow Homer in style but Is by no
means initiative. Here are two flower
studies by ]. K. Byrne, one Of tulips
in a pot, the other Of sunfiewers, deco
rative and well handled, and an in
teresting transcription In water color
of the "Pont du Gard" by Lusby
Simpson, as well as two skillfully
rendered works in the same medium
by Elizabeth Nedved-one Of an "Old
Tavern" the other Of "Turkdeen
Wharf" Incidentally, this painters
husband, Rudolph Nedved, exhibits
two very charming and sensitively
rendered etchings in an adjacent case,
with the works of other free lancers.
In the alcove given over to paintings
in oils by free lance artists, a place
of honor has been given to colorful
painting of Copper Mines, Arizona"
by Paula MacWhite, the wife of the
Minister from the Irish Free State,
an exhibition Of whose paintings was
held in New York last Winter, at
tracing much favorable notice. This

Enhancing the interest Of this ex-

such things can without many words

F. w. Wheeler, Ruel P. Tolman, g..
Rebecca Salm, Olin Dows and Dun

pense and place the exhibition on
self sustaining, permanent basis. Each
department store has promised to pur-
chase works of art shown therein to
the amount of $100. No artist may
show more than five works. To some
this may seem considerable let-down
from last, year, when all costs were
paid by the organizers and many
prizes offered by way of inducement to
representation at ones best, but the
policy now followed may. on TIE other

VARIOUS YACHTS
TO VISIT MIAMI
DURING WINTER
BELIEVED THAT LARGE NUM-
Der OF CRAFT WILL COME
DOWN INLAND WATERWAY
TO INSURE SAFETY
en- Associated Press)

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. Miami is
expecting a boom in yacht trade
this year as a result of completion
of the inland waterway from New
York down the Atlantic coast.
Harbormaster ]. F. Bauder said
some of the larger yachts as well
as many of the smaller craft would
use the waterway.
About 60 private yacht docks
have been built in Biscayne bay
this year to accommodate the ex-
pected increase, and Bauder has
recommended ten extra slips for
the city yacht basin.
Since all visiting craft are not
required to register there is no
comp lete recofl of the number Of
yachts which dock here but Bau-
der listed last year more than
290 over 40 feet long. of which n
were 100 feet or longer. He esti-
mated there were about 200 or
more craft of less than 40 feet.
Capt. j. B. McIver, president
of the Marine Association of Mi
ami, said about $2,700.000 was
spent here last season in upkeep
provisioning, dockage and pay
ment of crews of yachts. He OBJ
tanned his figures from answers to
questionnaires he sent to owners
of 500 boats.
Among the larger yachts ex-
pected shortly are the Vagabondia
owned by Richard Mellon of Pitts
burgh, the Lone Star of Frederick
w. Prince of Boston, the Chalena
owned by Charles Mccain of New
York and Mrs. Huntington r

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

AT the time this is written, the
election is just five weeks in the
future. The issues-such as they
are-are drawn. The rattle OF
political machine-gun fire grows
constantly louder.
The average citizen has neither
the time nor the inclination to
keep up with a presidential cam
paign in its hectic closing period.
To do that, he would have to read
a dozen speeches each week; per-
use a score of columns authored
by observers ranging all the way
from GOP-stalwart Mark Sullivan
to New Dealer Jay Franklin, and
keep up with hundreds of thou
sands of words I. of news-matter
sent out by the big press associa-
tons.
In the week ending September
81, a number of highly dramatic
and potentially important incl
dents occurred. Both the Presi-
dent and Governor Landon took
to the radio to expound their
views on various issues. And, on
a lower political level. scores of
party followers carried on for
their chiefs.
Most dramatic event was Will
liam Randolph Hearst's attack on
the President, in which he said
that Mr.. Roosevelt had the sup
port of "enemies of the American
system of government"-that is,
the Communists. This was prompt
ly denied by Earl Browder, off
cial Communist presidential nomi-
nee.
Of more practical Importance
in the vital matter of vote-getting
was the attention paid to the long
debated subject of farm crop in
surance by both contenders. Mr..
Roosevelt announced in press
conference that he had appointed
a committee to formulate plans.
said that "crop Insurance and a
system of storage reserves should
operate so that SURPRISES of fat
years could be carried over for
use in lean years." A day or two
later Governor Landon made pub
lie part of yet-unspoken speech,
in which he too endorsed crop in
surance. Inasmuch as crop in
surance is mentioned in neither
party platform, unprejudiced COM
mentators think that both candi-
dates We're out to get the Jump
on the other with something new
and compelling-that a stalemate
resulted.
Unusually aggressive was Gov
ernor Landon's speech on social
security, in which he assaulted ad-
ministration methods. though he
approves of such a plan in prin-
ciple. He said the New Deal law
was "cruel hoax" that it en-
dangered ''the whole cause of So
cial security" and pledged his
party to the enactment of a "pay-
as-you-gp"i lpld 0 age pension sys-
tenn which would ntt'Rroyide for
every American citizen over IS

sary to give minimum income
sufficient to protect him or her
from want"
'On the radio, the President
continued his policy of making
well-phrased, calm speeches, in
which he criticises his opponents
only by inference. His big drive
is yet to come-he apparently
feels it is more or less a waste of
motion to make major speeches
as early as this. and will wait I'M
til mid October.
In the meantime, the endless
speculation as to who. will win
continues. The Literary Digest
poll, on the basis of early re-
turns, gives Landon a big lead
most other polls give Roosevelt a
small but seemingly safe margin.
State primaries SO far have shown
little. Anti-New Deal Democrats
have been badly beaten for the
most part, as have the Town
sendites. The Maine election is
said by Republicans to make a
COP victory certain, while Demo-
Gratis pooh-pooh it. AS a matter
of fact, in the past when Demo
Gratis have carried elections in
Maine a Democratic president
has always been elected. When
Republicans have won by ire
mendous majorities. Republican
president has always been elected.
But when the election was rel
atively close, as it was this year.
the following national election has
always been close as we'll In that,
the Maine results echo the views
of most political experts-the
next President will win his office
by very slim margin.
The Supreme Court hasn't been
an issue in the campaign-those
who thought the President would
speak in favor of measures limit
ing the tribunals powers were
mistaken. Likewise, the Court
has been on vacation and out of
the headlines. But when it con-
yenes again it will pass on num-
Der of vital measures.
On the docket is the new
Frazier-Lemke Farm Mortgage
Moratorium law. The first law
was declared unconstitutional
the new law was designed to over
come legal objections. Opinion is
that it too will be thrown out.
Also on the docket is a case in
volving the right of the PWA to
lend money to local government
for the purpose of building cleo
trio systems in competition with
private systems.
Another power case involving
the constitutionality of iva is
based on different legal grounds
than the case which the Court de-
cided last term in favor of IVA.
The National Labor Relations
Act is also up for judgment. along
with the Commodity Exchange
Act, the Railroad Retirement Tax
Act, and others. 49,

emotion, Charles Mathews, fore

3, Key West Fire Department, last
night sat at a loss for words to
adequately portray his spprecia-
ton of the brotherly gesture, as
the members of the company and
a few friends gathered at the
rooms of the organization to help
celebrate his 50th anniversary of
membership.
The occasion was the anniver-
sary of fifty years of continued
service with the department, he
having entered the service in 0cto-
Der, 1886, and has held all posi-
tons in the company until in
1910 he was elected foreman and
since that time has held the posi-
ton with a credit to himself and
honor to the department, it was
shown.
Announcement of the reason
for the meeting was given out by
Treasurer j. Otto Kirchheiner dur
ing regular meeting of the COM
pany, when the treasurer asked
if it would be acceptable to the
meeting to call a brief recess dur
ing which other matters were TO
be discussed.
1t was when the recess was
called that Mr.. Kirchheiner ad-
dressed the meeting and said:
"Mr. Foreman. this little party
we are having here tonight is in
your honor, in celebration of your
so years continuous service, or
may / say, your golden anniver-
sary as member of the Key West
Fire Department.
Gentlemen, to my mind the
Volunteer Fire Department of Key
West is one of the outstanding or
CARNATIONS in the history of our
city. 1t has done more and asked
less than any other body Of men ]
know or learned of. This group
of men joined together for the
common good and has come down
to US from almost the very be-
ginning of our existence as q
town.
without hope of pay or re-
ward the department has been
available and stands ready to an
swer any and all calls which need
their aid to save life or property.
The members of this organization
at their daily tasks in offices,
factories or stores, at the sound
of the alarm, leave at once for the
scene of action, or if the alarm
comes in the dead of night they
rush from their homes to lend a
helping hand.
mo thought is taken of the
possible loss of clothing or suf-
fering of personal injury. 1t mat
tiers not the location of the fire.
whether it affects friends or
strangers, or even foes. The job
is at hand; the fire must be put
out.
''Th;s organization is unique in
that not only do the members bind
themselves together for the COM
mon good, without thought Of
compensation, but they assess
themselves monthly dues and from
time to time make further assess
ments which provide a treasury
which enables them to have avail
able money to use as they see fit
Therefore not only has the Key
West Volunteer Fire Department
always given its full measure Of
service but its members have paid
their own money TO have that
privilege.
