, own sport hats. Yea. she is so
womanly!
Thus, my Daughter, is the way
of woman, who thinketh her
self in love with a man, more
tempestuous than wise. For, one
moment, she Smothereth him with
affection and is TOO kind. She
admireth all his ways, and
quoteth all his words as pearls OF
wisdom. She exalteth him in his
own eyes until his head Swelleth
and he believeth himself TIE
Worlds Greatest Lover.
But when her heart turneth
against him, she is one with the
elephant, who never forgetteth.
Her tongue laSheth him without
mercy, and not one of his sins
doth she fail to flaunt in his
face. She maketh him to pay and
PAY. For indifference is not IN
her.
But a man is intense in moth
ing; and moderation is his mid
die name. His love, however
deep, is seldom delirious. And
GOODNESS or boredom is all the
emotion that he feeleth, when
love is done.
For, only in politics doth he
lose his head and wax violent
or impetuous. Only over a golf
game or a political candidate can
he work himself into an emo
tional flame of enthusiasm or
violent rage.
Thus is a woman's tongue
broken against her; for she CAN
NOT make him suffer" Verify,
he is ASPEP ATING. Selah!

In New Mexico, it is reported,
the Republicans are so anxious to
beat their opponents that they are
almost willing to take advantage
of anything to do it.
At the recent State convention
it was suggested that the chain
letter be utilized as a vote getter.
The idea was beaten by close
vote.
1t might have worked with two
names of the letter, Roosevelt and
Landon, with instructions TO knock
off the first name and send as
many votes as you can get to the
second one on the list.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July 20.
More than 20 grade crossings
on principal highways of Florida
will be eliminated within twelve
months, and about so others will
be marked with modern electric
danger signals.
In all sections of the state men
are at work on viaducts, overhead
passes, and road relocation pro-
jects, under a $2,827.883 federal
ALLEGATION to the state road de-
partment. '".. .''
Of 20 grade crossing projects
now under contract one has been
completed, while several Others
are nearly finished. Six addition
al projects are to be started soon.
About $50 men are employed
on the projects. -''"
Fifteen of the 20 projects
eliminated existing crossings,
while five replace present over
head bridges.
Some of the projects eliminate
two crossings rather than one. In
a few cases the crossings are be-
ing eliminated by relocating the
highway.
All of the overhead crossings
and viaducts will be at least "a
feet wide, of concrete and steel

JUDGE ALBURY

COMEZ'S CASE
JURIST DISOUALIFIES HIM.
SELF; ACTION WILL CAUSE
POSTPONEMENT IN TRIAL
OF CASE

Directly after the docket was
sounded in criminal court this
morning, Judge William V. AL
bury announced his intention of
disqualifying himself during the
trial of the case Of the State
versus Rogelio Gomez in the mat
ter of the absentee ballots.
County Solicitor Allan B. Cleare
cited from the law three specific
reasons warranting judge dis
qualifying himself, but expressed
the belief that Judge Albury did
not come within the scope of the
reasons.
He further said that with the
judge disqualifying himself the
trial of the case would be post
poned possible three weeks, and
he felt that the defendant in the
case was anxious to have the mat
ter over with as soon as possible.
The judge said that he had
given the matter thoughtful con-
sideration and had concluded that
by disqualifying himself the in
terests O. justice and all persons
concerned would be better served.
At the time the matter of the
absentee ballots was brought to
the notice of the Judge of the cir
cult court, the present Judge of the
criminal court was attorney FOL
the board of county commission
ers hence was directly interested
in the matter of the ballots.

CITY COUNCIL TO

issue TONIGHT
BOARD WILL MEET FOR PUR.
POSE OF ISSUING PERMITS.
TO TRUCK OPERATORS TO
OPERATE SERVICE

There will be a special meeting
of the City Council held tonight
at 8 o'clock, at which time the
question of issuing permits to
truck operators for the removal
of garbage and trash in Key West
will be taken up for considera-
ton.
The WPA organization discon-
tinued operation of this service
recently, and since that time
every effort has been made to
have the government unit recon-
slider its action, and continue on
with these operations.
Key Vests mayor was sent to
Jacksonville and Washington re-
Gently for the purpose of en-
deavoring to prevail upon the
authorities there to come to the
city's aid again in this matter, but
the mayor reported upon his re-
turn to Key West that he met with
very little encouragement.
Works Progress Administration
officials in Washington told the
mayor that if Key West property
owners who are able would pay
their taxes, the city would have
sufficient revenue to operate its
scavenger service, and other de-
partments as well.
Acquainted With Conditions
The mayor also said that c..
Aubrey Williams, assistant to
Harry Hopkins, Works Progress
Administrator, showed that he
was we'll acquainted with the Key
West situation by mentioning
names of delinquent taxpayers
who he said were well able to
pay.
Tn addition to this, the mayor
stated, that in other words, ac-
cording to the attitude of the
WPA officials who were contacted
in this matter, that Key West
cannot expect any further special
aid from the government unit,
saying that this city will be look
ed upon in the same light as all
other communities in the state,
receiving nothing other than it's
regular pro rata, with no special
emergency funds to be set aside
as has been the case in the past.
Thompson Gives Views
Norberg Thompson, member of
the Board of Public Workers, in
referring to the matter of Key
West property owners paying
their taxes, stated that as he sees
it, Key West is in no better fl
nancial condition today than it
was when the FERA took over
operation of the city. Mr.. Thomp-
son said that with property bring
ing in practically no revenue at
this time, that many were unable
to meet this obligation. -
DR.. William r. Warren, city
health officer, is heartily CO.
operating with the council in an
endeavor to reach some satisfac-
tory agreement for handling the
garbage matter, stating hat he
feels that this is one of the most
important problems now confront
ing the city authorities.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The
departure of Postmaster General
Farley on leave to conduct the
campaign was only the beginning
of a migration of New Deal of
ficials from government jobs to
key positions in l.he headquarter.
set up.
The full list is nog known at
present, and probably will net be
known until mid-campaign when
an actual counting of noses may
disclose it. But they have been
drifting from Washington to New
York in ones, twos and ,:hrees for
some time.
A goodly number of them knew
long in advance just what holes
they would fill. They were part
OF the headquarters organization
set up by the late Louis McHenrv
Howe, longtime No. secretary
and counsellor to President Roose-
welt.
Howe left his place beside
Roosevelt in AIbsaay aafiy-iit 1882
to act as the nominees voice at
Democratic headquarters in New
York.
Staff Moves To New York
Mr.. Roosevelt, through Howe
and by actual contact, had a very
close hand in the conduct of the
1882 campaign and Washington
forsees him keeping an equally
close touch this year. Part of the
White House staff already has
moved to the Biltmore in New
York.
The White House group includes
some of the old Howe organiza-
ton.
Some of Howe's staffers and
even Howe himself, until his death
a few months ago, have had one
principal idea in mind since 1882.
That was the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1886. They
have been spotted around here
and there in the government serv.
ice.
Part OF The Game
Practical politicians on both
sides seem never to have objected
much to such procedure, con-
sidering it part OF the game for
the "in" party to hold its election
staff as nearly as possible intact
by that means.
They work without government
pay. Salaries are paid from head
quarters campaign funds. They
don't stand to lose by resigning
government posts. Ii their party
wins the election they will get
their jobs back. If the party
loses, they wouldn't have the jobs
anyway.
Leaves have been granted even
in foreign fields to permit am
bassadOrs and others to share in
the campaign. Ambassador w. c.
Bullitt came from Moscow and
already is in the field. ~
