Prohibition was adopted as part

Whether right or wrong, men in
great numbers had a conviction that
prohibition was an unwarranted tres

DECLARING WAR ON CANCER

To further research into the causes of
cancer and to coordinate the efforts of
those fighting the disease the Congress has
appropriated S750.O00 for a building in
Washington to house a cancer institute
and 100000 year for research work to
be directed by an advisory council. TO be
composed OF six doctors and scientists.
While this may be the beginning Of
other enterprises of like nature and thus
the start of additional expenses on the part
of government we do not believe that
many people viii object to it. In fact, the
example might be followed with profit,
both to the government and the people Of
the United States. in the battle against
other diseases.

last night that it was decided to

copies of the new Key West di-

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files The Citizen

Opposition of one person to
the Key Vests drydock is hold
ing up the proposition. Ted Bailey
went before the war department
when a hearing was held here
some time ago and protested
against the Improvement. The
protest was entered in the name
of a relative who is a nonresident
of Key West. He said this rel
alive had telegraphed him to en-
ter the protest. This was the only
voice raised against giving the pro-
posers of the drydock the right to
start construction. On this pro-
test and this alone the war de-
partment is holding up the permit
for the construction to begin.
Captain Clark D. Stearns said
this morning that the permission
was withheld on the protest of a
nonresident property holder, but
there are several other matters,
including the proposed abatement
of taxes which will have to be
gone into before the situation is
clarified.
