Caution and longing were mingled
in the expressions on those two
masked faces. Then one Withdrew
and another face took its place.
This one wore no mask. It was all
black, with narrow white stripe
down across the forehead and down
the nose. There was little hesitancy
on the part Of this one. A glance

he settled himself comfortably to eat

Meanwhile two masked faces had

The onlookers held their breath.

LOOKING FAR AHEAD

DIR. c. A. Mills, professor of expert
mental medicine of the University of Gin
cinnati. looks forward to the adaptation of
air conditioning to animals, and the open
ing up of a field which will offer benefits
to the farmer comparable to those enjoyed
by the city dweller.
Animals says DR.. Mills, ARE just as
responsive as man to their atmospheric or
climatic environment. One phase of air
conditioning that l think will receive great
attention in the rather near future is that
which concerns live stock. This will be
particularly true of animals that have
bodies poorly adapted to meet sudden
changes, such as poultry and the heavily
fuTTed animals that must lOsemOst of their
heat by evaporation from the mucous mem
branes of the respiratory tract
For this domestic animal problem,
believe major relief will come through
proper insulation of the buildings which
house them, coupled with cruder form of
air conditioning, but nevertheless, a def
mite means of regulating and handling the
air
Profitable results to the stockman
can be foreseen in such developments.
Some experimental data already show that
hens lay better, that cows give more milk
and that the quality of fine-bred race
horses is improved by regulating their at
mospheric environment"

HOW ABOUT WORK RELIEF

The people of Key West have bene-
fitted considerably by the work relief pro-
grams of the past few years. The money
which has been distributed in this section
has done its part in stimulating local BUSH
ness recovery. and, more important, pre-
vented suffering among many people.
The Citizen is cognizant of an under
current of criticism which is somewhat
sweeping in its general eOndqr6akoa of
relief workers. That many of them do
not give a full days work is not disputed
because some of those on relief are. not
capable of performing the work of an
average employee in good health. How
ever. after mentally making allowance for
this class of workers, we find some
criticism remaining, with considerable
emphasis being placed upon the inability
of certain employers to secure the labor
which they need and DESIRE
In considering the criticisms which
are heard, especially where the complaint
involves an inability to get laborers, one
would be wise to ascertain whether the
real complaint is based upon lack of
willingness on the part of the workers to
take other jobs or desire on the part of
employers to get workers at unfair wages
Too often, we fear, the basis of the griev-
anee is the inability of ami employer to
get gyorkmen at what amounts to starva-
-tiensYagsss
We do not endorse the relief pro-
gram without any reserve whatever be-
cause it is impossible for US to be ade-
quately and completely informed about its
many details. Undoubtedly, in such a
vast undertaking, mistakes have been
made and errors committed Basically.
however, in view of the unemployment
which exists in the United States, we think
that the relief program has prevented
wages from dropping below the starvation
level and thus not only served as a source
of support to those included in the pro-
gram, but as an insurance against excess
sive wage cuts to common labor engaged
by private enterprise.
The economic growth of this country
as well as other sections of the United
States, depends upon the gradual rising of
the wage scale, particularly for common
labor. Whether employers enjoy reading
statements like this or not, they should
realize that the benefits which will flow
to them will more than offset any seem
ing disadvantage.
