Learn to swim in six lessons at
South Beach, is the title of an
invitation being extended by the
WPA Recreation Department to
the people of Key West. The
swimming institute will be held
at the beach beginning Monday,
September 20, and will continue
through September 25. Instruc-
tons will b given by A. E. "Pol-
ly" Oliver.
"Good form is the of the
greatest Importance in swim
ming" said Mr.. Oliver. "And
once you have learned to swim
correctly, you will always know
how. 1t is more fun when you do
it right because then you can
swim with tireless ease"
The first day of the lessons is
devoted to dispelling any fear of
the water. Fear is the greatest
obstacle in the way of learning to
swim. Pupils are taught to ex-
hale under water, and rhythmic
breathing, which is essential in
learning the crawl stroke, will
also be taught.

NEEDY WILL BE-
GIVEN help In
PLAN ADOPTED
SOLICITATION OF FUNDS IN
CONNECTION WITH PRO-
POSED MOVEMENT TO BE-
GIN AT ONCE

Key West Advisory. Council, of
which Mrs. Robert SpOttswood is
chairman and DR.. J. C. Gekeler is
secretary-treasurer, will at once
begin soliciting aid for those I'M
fOrtunates in Key West who are
without means of support.
During the early part of the
year this was being done success
fully and many persons who were
in real need were given assist
ance which would have otherwise
been impossible had not the adj
visory council taken up the mat
ter. One group of about 80 fami-
lies was among the unemploy-
ables who were extended this
much needed aid.
Now comes the time when to
assist those in need is deemed
necessary by the council and it is
fervently hoped, it was said, that
those who contributed in former
days will resume their donations
which will be solicited after a
lapse of three months.
No formal pledge cards are to
be presented for signatures by
those who will be asked to help,
but it is believed by those who
are undertaking the resumption
of this worthy and very commend
able work, that those who pre-
viously gave their assistance will
take up where they left off sew
eral months ago, and gladly re-
sumo their donations.

KEY WORKERS TO
BE REMOVED IN
CASE OF STORM
VESSELS OF COAST GUARD
SERVICE TO BE MADE
AVAILABLE FOR EVENTU-
ALITIES

Plans have been made effec-
tive whereby efficient service
will be placed for the assistance
of workers on the Florida Keys
in the event of storm, and three
vessels of the United States
Coast Guard will be available.
Following a conference held in
Jacksonville early this month it
was decided that three vessels of
the Coast Guard Patrol, Vessels
1876, stationed at Key West, and
244 and PIP, will be held in read
mess to respond to the call if it
was deemed necessary to evacu-
ate the Keys.
Discussing the idea with Cap
tain S. A. Peterson, in command
of the 1876, The Citizen was told
that his vessels station will be,
as is now, Key West, and the
244 and 212 will alternate between
their home station at Fort Laud-
erdale, and Hog Key: Either of
these two vessels will be station
ed at the Key at all times until
November l, and changes of duty
will be effected at that point.
In the event of storm warnings
the vessels will proceed at once
to designated points on the Keys
and 1t is planned that all workers
will be transported to No Name
Key in ample time to be brought
to Key West by automobiles of
the Rotary Club members, which
will be awaiting their arrival at
No Name.
1t is understood that the plans
win be perfected at a meeting to
be held within the next few days
which will be attended by all of
ficers and officials and ccntrac-
tors who have studied the prob
lem from every angle and will
gather to discuss new phases and
possibilities.
Nothing is to be left undone, in
the event of another storm, which
will guard against repetition of
such holocaust as that which
was recorded of the hurricane
which swept across the Florida
Keys on September 2. 1885.

Gives Status Relative To
Payment OF Poll Tax
Shown That Very Little
Interest Is Being Mani
tested In Coming City
Election

Frank H. Ladd, county tax col
lector, is wondering what kind of
election is going to be held in
Key West in November next. No
poll taxes paid and so far no an
nOuncements made.
There are some people, he be-
lieves, who are under the impress
sion that as the act was passed by
the last legislature which abolish
ed the payment of pail taxes, che
law became effective at once.
Such is the truth as far as the
passing of the act, but the Bill
No. 159 was not signed and made
active at once. 1t was signed by
Governor Cone on May 20, and
filed in the office of the secretary
of state on May 81.
The law reads "That the pay
ment of poll tax shall not be re,
quired of any person, other quail
fled as an elector to vote at any
primary, special, general, or other
election hereafter held in this
State under the constitution or
any statutes passed in pursuance
thereof.
Several persons have said that
the passage of the bill reads cor
other election hereafter held in
this State means that no other
payment Of poll taxes will be
necessary.
But the approval of the bill by
the governor on May 20 also car
ries this sentence "This act shall
take effect on January first
1885," Hence to vote in the city
election on November 8, an cleo
tor, voter, must pay his poll tax
before the books close this year.
To date Mr.. Ladd says three have
paid.

LONDON, April 15.-Wlll Ger
many join the democratic plan for
freedom of trade and free access
to raw materials-or withdraw in
to an armored shell?
This is the key question asked
by leading diplomats in London
and Paris. They believe the ulti-
mate answer will decide peace or
war in Europe.
The fighting diplomacy of Hit
Ter and the financial genius of DR..
Hjalmar Schacht has changed
Germany in four years from dis
armed, economic weakling into q
strong, military-economic unity.
Defense Stressed
The new German theory of eco
nomics is based on defense. All in.
dustry, business and finance is di'
rected towards military prepared
ness. The four-year self-suffici-
ency plan is its bible.
In the new Germany I saw, it
appeared fashionable to make sac.
rifices and be ready to make more.
Spartanism is the new note in
Germany coupled with a spirit Of
energy and intense nationalism.
The scarcity of food is notice
able. The wheat deficiency for
1887 is estimated at about 500. 900
tons.
The German business man is
controlled and supervised rigidly
by various government authori.
ties. There is a restriction on the
use of such raw materials as wool,
cotton, rubber, copper and tin.
The present economic system
fashioned by Germany is primar-
lily based upon a "pegged" export
trade in which there is no risk Of
any excess of imports over eX-
ports; the internal flotations Of
loans, and unemployment through
a huge armamentS program and
The Washington times., 1937-04-15

the development Of new synthetic
industries.
Large industrial loans are being
raised to finance the production
of oil from coal under the four.
year self-sufficiency plan.
The unemployed have been re-
duced to 1911 900 in March, 1887,
compared with 2,515,000 at the
end Of February, 1886, according
to official figures.
There is great activity In the
building trades and the metal,
mining and machine industries.
Germany shows an increase in
exports of manufactured goods OF
nearly IL per cent over 1885.
Balance Impaired
One of the difficulties Of the
German commercial policy, &C
cording to outside economists, is
that the trade agreements with
foreign nations do not permit a
favorable trade balance to be
utilized for supplying the German
domestic market with imported
food.
The surplus is used to reduce
debts abroad. AS a result, food
rationing has been restored in
Germany after an absence of II
years.
Krupps, the great ornaments
firm of Germany, is paying a divi-
dend of four per cent for 1885
1896, the first dividend since 1917.
Profits amounted to six million
dollars, equivalent to nine per cent
on the share capital. Its exports
improved sharply in the last year,
particularly to Turkey, South Al
rica, India and China.
