from eight to nine; therein lay their genius
and the secret of their success. Incidentally
they were as well-bred as they were clever.
To have been under their aegis for single
summer was to acquire cachet. Also. they
believed in latitude and longitude. They could

and subsequently hamstring the poor popin-
jay with single phrase. Formula number
two: ridicule only the ridiculous and the
ridicule will stick like glue.
On this trip. Mary d'Almirante Stevens
was their special pet and torment. Every
thing about her seemed to strike breath
taking note. The blue-black sheen of her
tumbled hair came straight from Castilian
grandmother of high degree, as did the rapier
thrust of her fluent Spanish. But everything

all the saucy tilt of her chin - shouted Pill

sparkled continuously. Fearless as she was
innocent, whenever she ran it was invariably
toward trouble, never away from it.
Yet they loved her. She was generous,

herself. Who else would have herded three
girls into the jouncing flivver that the Misses

DHE two cars swerved away
from the afternoon gaiety of
the Paseo de Las Delicias,
turned westward and
plunged into the gullet of the
Argote de Molina. To escape being
run over, pedestrians plastered
themselves against walls or backed
into the shallow embrasure of the
nearest door. The four girls in the
flivver which led the way shrilled
with merriment. No wonder you
never saw fat men in the narrow
streets of old Seville: one on each
side would have constituted a bar
ricade!
The girls were in love with
Spain = with everything except
the July heat and the ever-present
odor of olive oil in all its stages.
They had stood in awe in the
mosque at Cordoba and gone into
ecstasies over the Alhambra, but
this was the Spain of their dreams
lazy, slumberous, stirring out of
languor only to be gay.
Even in the darkest days of the
depression the Misses Ames' Travel
School for Girls had had a waiting
list. 1t was a simple formula: eight
girls and no more, a thousand dol
lars per girl, then add expenses.
No influence nor any amount of

more promising fields of work which will eventu-
ally absorb great numbers of unemployed youth.
Without doubt, the mecca of young American
job seekers today is the National Capital Thou
sands of young men and women with and with
out college degrees in hand, have poured into
Washington to take part in the nations recon-
struction program. New problems have created
new departments and youthful minds with new
ideas have been welcomed. The visitor in WASH

in Jobs ranging from the most menial type OF
clerking to positions of Importance requiring
the maximum of intelligence and perseverance
Not only in Washington, but also in the larger
cities throughout the country, civil service work
is attracting more and more young people State
and local bureaus of charity have hired great
numbers of these new breadWinners to carry out
the work entailed by their relief programs. 1t
is significant to note that the majority of these
Younger civil service employees do not regard
their work as merely temporary something to
sustain them until the advent of better times
On the contrary most of them are convinced
that the future in this field of work is greater
than it has ever BEEN
In the realm of science, foundations are being
laid for many new industries. OF these, tele-
vision seems to be the most important. Just
as decade ago, radio claimed thousands OF

to the fact that consumers are demanding pro-
ducts that are not only better constructed, but
also more attractive. In order to prepare Tor
this profession, it is not necessary to attend an
expensive art school, The young student with
flair for outline color, and arrangement stands
as good chance as does the professional artist.
These three industries are but few of the
many which will in time attract thousands of
young Americans who, today, are unable to find
places in the standard occupations. And what
makes them even more attractive, is the fact
that college education is not essential
Despite the fact that the depression still
fingers. there exists in the business world a
great demand for intelligent youth. The par
ticular phases of business which experts say
offer exceptional opportunities are: accounting,
the retail field, vocational guidance, banking,
personnel work, applied psychology, salesman
ship, appraising, market research, and numerous
others
It is true that these business vocations will
require more education than is needed in the
industrial field. However. they are vocations
which can be self-taught to a great extent.
Standard text books on all of these subjects are
attainable at every good-sized public library
The ambitious youth denied college education,
can become his own teacher and prepare himself
for his chosen field
How about the idle young people who can't
wait until ready-made job turns up or to whom
the preceding suggestions offer no appeal?
Many ingenious youths all over the country have
solved this problem by cooperating with their
fellow iders in manufacturing jobs. Most of us
have heard of the Diaper Service" the Canine
Caterers" and the "Odd-Job Service" These
agencies have been created by young men with
imagination.
Miss Davis in 1.-THE Lost Generation" offers
striking example of group ingenuity. Youth,

an ice cream bar. An enterprsing young man,
without job, secured the support of few
interested social workers and newspaper women.

1t was youth who paved the way for Fascism
in Italy and Germany and it has been youth
who has played the most active part in the
sweeping political reforms which have taken
place in numerous other countries since the days
of the World War. Youthful students and pa
triots in China have dominated the national
government in that country; revolutionary
movements and political reforms have been fos-
tered by the young men of Turkey, Persia,
Egypt, and, nearer home, Cuba.
A JILL American youth, moved by the un-

arise in this country mass of disilusioned
young men and women seeking leader to fol-

these questions depends, not on the youths them.
selves, but rather on the policies pursued by
the law makers of America. AS long as the
idle young people of this country are given as
surance that they can expect certain measure
of help from their government to tide them
these difficult times, they will remain con-
servative and find no necessity to resort to
radical movements.
America is fortunate in having youth that
is not volatile, so susceptible to violent
change and mass hysteria is that of other
lands Many claim that this is caused by our
youths shameless disnterest in all matters per-
tanning to the functions or the government In
some respects this is true but these same critics
fail to realize that American youth still looks
to the older more experienced minds for guild
ance; it still has faith in the ideals and prin-
ciples pursued by its elders-which ideals and
principles have led to the solution of seemingly
insolvable problems in the past.
Youth today may be lost" it may have
cause to feel cheated of its birthright- Yet,
though it's no longer flaming" it still carries
with it the same will to achieve, the same en-
thusiasm for life, the same zest for work which
has characterized preceding generations. And,
best of all, it still has visions of finer, richer

1T is far more important thing than most
| people realize-this problem of keeping young
hands and minds busy. A horde of restless, dis
illusioned youth in America would be the great
est menace Democracy has ever known. Witness
the cases of Germany and Italy; the youth of
these countries filled with postwar cynicsm,
suffering privation and hunger caused by the
economic collapse of their respective nations,
were driven to extremities which gave both Hit
ler and Mussolini their initial strength. These
young masses, desperate in their need, were
eager to accept anything to escape from their
misery-eag to follow any leader who prom
ised a road to salvation. They were impatient
of the older generation with its slow and eau
tious policies; these harassed and hungry youths
demanded action-violence if necessary I'M
medately, in both countries, strong leaders ap-
peared each with his own program to restore
prosperity.
In Germany it was Hitler who achieved the
greatest following with his intense nationalist
policy which, he promised, would restore Ger
many to the position of prominence it enjoyed
in pre-war days. All foes of the Nazi program
were to be suppressed. Today, the youth of
Germany is a strong military unit, trusting that
Hitler's promises of prosperity will be fulfilled.
In Italy Mussolin became the hero of the
young Italians; and the support of these "lost"
youths gave him the power to become dictator
of all italy. He, too, promised his people pros

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-04-27

Friday night, the seniors OF
Key West High School presented
their class play to a large and
enthusiastic audience. The stage
was a picture of loveliness repre-
senting the home of Mrs. Grau-
stark on her country estate.
The cast had been wisely Sc
lected and it played so evenly well
that all have received sincere con-
gratulations. 1t was, indeed, a
galaxy of stars in which all work
ed together in perfect harmony.
The play is an unusually fine
mystery comedy written by Don
Stuart Hale.
Everyone who saw it is talking
about thu masterful performance
which was rendered smoothly and
intelligently. The cast held its
audience spell bound. One could
have heard a pin drop. There was
every sign OF enjoying a treat.
The wholehearted laughter and
applause were encouraging to the
Young people.
