SECOND NOVEL BY MARIAN sims
STARTS TODAY In THE CITIZEN

Marian Sims, whose first novel,
Morning STAR" appeared in The
Citizen last year, has more than
fulfilled the high promise it gave
with her second, 1.-THE World With
"a Fence" which starts today in
this paper.
The title is taken from a card
enclosed with a gift-''For Carol,
who deserves the world with a
fence"-from one of the several
aemiring men disappointed when
she leaves the little Georgia town
where she had been reared and
seeks greater opportunity in
Atlanta.
Marian Sims tells the story of
Carol Torrance with rare under
standing and sympathy-qualities
which likewise distinguished her
first book, Morning Star" The
small town girl who sets out on
her own has purpose and determ-
ination and the author makes her
real character. But Carols move
to the larger city, with its new
friends along with the enlarged
opportunity, is not without COM
piications.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-08-14

There is, for example, her dis
covery that she is in love-follow-
ed promptly by the realization
that emotions leading into blind
alleys are packed with danger. An
other woman stands in the way, a
woman cold and selfish and de-
termined to keep from Carol the
man she loves. Carol has no
heart for such a fight-but she
knows that to win she must fight
and that if she loses, all is lost.
Marian Sims, born in Dalton,
Ga, and living now in Charlotte,
n. c., has been writing fiction in
earnest since 1929 and many Of
her stories have appeared in the
popular magazines. Southern her
self, though inheriting something
from New England on her moth
er's side, it is natural that she
writes best of the Southern. One
of her ambitions, revealed to her
publishers, is to portray Southern
life in such a way as to show "that
swamp jewellers and tenant farm
ers do not cover the entire canvas,
and that none of us wears roses in
our hair"

WPA FORCE NOW
In new STATUS
PRESENT CONDITIONS QUITE
DIFFERENT FROM THOSE
OF LAST YEAR

There are certain requirements
which must be met by WPA work
ers which are incorporated in this
years program which makes that
of the present year different fTom
that of last year, Director Herbert
Reck told The Citizen today.
One of these in particular is
that a worker employed by the
WPA must be not only physically
fit, but his mental attitude toward
his job must be such that it does
not interfer with his own per-
Torrance nor that of his fellow
workmen.
In order that this requirement
be met, a study of the work rec
ord Of each individual worker on
Key West projects is being made
in the employment division of the
district office. The result of this
study will be that those now as
signed who cannot qualify. accord
ing to the new rule, will be
dropped, and new assignments will
be made from the list of those
waiting assignment.

SPECIMENS ARE
COLLECTED FOR
SCIENCE DEPT.
GATHERED BY JACK RUSSELL
AND SENT TO MUSEUM CON-
QUOTED AT UNIVERSITY OF
FLORIDA

Jack Russell, student of the
University of Florida now a guest
of Ygnacio Carbonell, fellow
student. has for the past 10 days
been devoting his time to the col
lection of specimens for the
science department and museum at
the university.
Mr.. Russells activities have not
only been carried on in Key West,
but also at Tortugas where he
has collected great many species
of insects which have been added
to those taken at Key West and
enabled him to ship the science
department innumerable samples
of about so species.
The specimens caught are only
those which are peculiar to the
climatic conditions found only in
this section of the tropics, and
will prove invaluable as study
subjects by the science classes,
Mr.. Russell said.
The shells which have been col
lected here and at TOrtugas, COM
prise a wonderful collection with
which Mr.. Russell is just pleased.
These have been carefully pack
ed, as many of them are delicate
and fragile, and forwarded on to
the museum.
In addition to aforementioned
activities Mr.. Russell is a member
of the Florida Audubon Society,
and has banded a number OF birds
in the interest of migration
study.
Having completed a very salts
factory period of study and col
lecting, MIR. Russell plans leaving
on the Steamship Florida this
afternoon for Tampa en- route to
Gainesville.

SOCIAL WELFARE
BOARD READY TO
COLLECT FUNDS
THOSE HAVING MADE PERM
ANENT PLEDGES WILL BE
CALLED UPON WITHIN
NEXT FEW DAYS

Mrs. William r. Warren, chair
man of the local advisory commit
tee of INC State Board Of Social
Welfare, advises that it Is now
time for the August collections
for the organization fund. A
! list of permanent pledges by those
persons who have promised month
ly contributions has been CON-
piled and within the next few
days collectors will contact them.
1t is believed that although the
fund will not be large, even though
100 percent collections be made,
it will assist those families who are
unemployable and who have no
relatives to whom they can turn
for assistance. The committee
reports that SIS has already been
disbursed to approximately so
needy families.
Checks were made out on the
First National Bank, in which
community funds are deposited,
and were signed by Rev. J. c.
Gekeler, treasurer. None of the
funds may be used without the
approval of the advisory commit
tee, it was shown, and checks must
carry the signature of either DIR.
Gekeler or Mrs. Warren, represen-
! tative in his absence.
Mrs. Warren stated that some
people are still under the impress
sion that the community fund is
to be spent on salaries. She wants
to make it clear that the money
is only spent for direct relief to
the unfOrtunates and to buy elm
ic supplies to continue the valu-
able services of the Monroe COun-
ty Clinic. Mrs. Warren believes
that the foregoing explanation OF
exactly how the money is expend-
ed will clarity for many the fact
that none of the funds are used
Tor administrative purposes.
The local staff of the Board OF
Social Welfare is paid entirely
from funds from the State Board
of Social Welfare and has nothing
to do in any manner with the local
contributions. The salaries at
the MOroe County Health Unit
are paid by the State Board Of
Health.
At the conclusion of the inter
| view, Mrs. Warren said that il Is
/, hoped with this understanding
that money contributed is to be
used solely for those Monroe
county people in need, that the
citizens of the county will give
more willingly. The fact is recog-
nized that the county is in poor
circumstances but in spite OF this
so many have already shown a
willingness to assist, encourages
the committee in its efforts to
continue. Unless the work Is
carried on, very serious eOnse-
quences will result, since many
families will be left entirely with
out subsistence.

SCIENTIST SEEKS
LIGHTER ROCKET
TO MAKE CONCLUSIVE TEST
IN 1OO-MILE STRATO-
SPHERE TRIP
NY Associated Press)

ROSWELL, N. NJ, Aug. IA
The phenomenon of gravity which
amazed Isaac Newton centuries
ago confronts DR.. Robert H. God
dard, as he nears conclusive test
in his 20-year effort to unvail the
mysteries of the stratosphere with
an instrument-laden rocket.
With two or three major prob
lens solved, the Clark university
professor now seeks materials that
will cut by half the weight of his
present 80-pound rocket and thus
increase the amount of fuel it can
carry.
Success in that, he believes,
would more than double the height
to which a rocket could be fired
with the fuel now used.
The problems of obtaining a
continuous flow of firing energy
and of direction stabilization-by
means of a mechanical brain"
already have been solved.
Since 1882, DIR. Goddard and
his staff have worked constantly
near Roswell, under funds granted
by the Daniel and Florence Gug-
genheim foundation. The grant will
expire in September and it has
been indicated the scientist viii
try for a final test before that
time.
Goddard will achieve a flight OF
100 miles or more. The fight would
be an arch. more or less steep, but
on the question of the possible
height to be attained, DR.. Goddard
himself is reticent.
Should a flight of 100 miles be
reached, however, scientists fee
that an automatic camera could
photograph the spectrum of the
sun, obtaining ultraviolet line:
screened out by the atmosphere.

DIR. M'CREARY
VISITING HERE
COMES HERE FOR PURPOSE
OF SURVEYING CONDITIONS
IN HEALTH MATTERS

DR.. A. B. McCreary, director of
the mobile health unit of the State
Board of Health, from Jackson
vile, is a visitor in Key West for
the purpose of appraising local
conditions.
DR.. McCreary was a welcomed
caller at the office of The Citizen
today, in company with DIR. w. P.
Rice, of the local health clinic, and
said he has been dcvoting a great
deal of time to his particular
branch of study.
He has CLEANED a great deal of
informative and valuable data,
which will be of inestimable value,
he said, in his plans for the inaug-
uretion of an educational health
program, which viii be gotten un-
der way in a short time.

Balkans Maintaining Close Watch
AS Greece Establishes Dictatorship
Intensive Check Is Being
Made To Determine
Status OF Proposed Ac-
tiyities
(hy Associated Pressj
By DEWITT MACKENZIE

ny
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The
establishment of dictatorship in
Greece under Premier General
John Metaxas is causing the other
fiery Balkan countries to make
an intensive check to determine
whether the move possibly port.
ends any further governmental
change which might alter interna.
tional relations.
This Balkan cockpit is still, as
It has been through the ages, one
Of the danger spots of the CONT.
nent, for it takes little to stir the
fierce racial and political amino.
sites which exist in that region
Ii will not soon be forgotten thai
the World war was whelped there
King George and the monarchy
have had a friendly reception from
neighboring states. Furthermore,
no concern has been expressed thus
far as to anything which Metaxas
himself may do, for while he is a
man of great force and initiative
he always has professed himself to
be a staunch monarchist and j.
credited with being conservative
and safe.
However, he is about the last
of the great personalities whom
death has spared to Greece, anC
he is sixty-five years old. Other
nations are wondering what may
happen to the monarchy wher
time compels him to withdraw
support.
King Georges nine-months-olC
throne is fairly hot seat in view
of all the circumstances.
1t is of more than passing In
terest that George assigned the
dictatorship to another instead Of
jumping into the breach himself
as was done by the late King
Alexander of Yugoslavia, and ir
effect by Georges former brother
in-law, Carol of Rumania. Having
done this, the ruler left his CAPT
tai, which was under MARTA! law
for a short holiday in Corfu.
Marie Sought Return
The bemonocled King of the
Hellenes became a popular diner
out in London and other capitals
during the dozen years of his
exile, while his mother-in-law, the
vigorous Queen Marie OF Rumanis
was trying to get him restored to
his throne.
Queen Marie's main interest
naturally lay in her desire to see
her daughter, Princess Elizabeth
the first lady of Greece. Elizabeth
finally divorced George on the
grounds of desertion, but not un'
til July, 1885, only four months
before the Greeks invited him tC
resume his throne.
1t was about 1925 that Queer
Marie turned to great Balkan
expert for advice. She wanted tC
know what chance there was o.
George ever coming back. The
expert replied:
Future A Question
'If George would get on 6
white charger and ride through
the city of Athens to his palace
with a sword at his side, the PEG
pie would fall on his neck witt
joy and welcome him home. Blu
George won't do that"
The future of Greece ma!
easily depend on how FAR Georg'
is prepared to go in riding a white
horse with a sword at his side. A
the moment Metaxas is riding TIT
horse for him.
