An important question arises
at this time as to just what kind
OF new winter resort Key West
will be. From long experience
in the various resorts of the East
Coast of Florida, / feel that it is
very necessary for those who will
have the planning of the future
prosperity of the Island City IN
their hands, to well consider what
may or may not happen in the
way of further maintaining its
progress, making it appeal 10
the tourist world, as well as some
who are always seeking a place to
call home" in the warm South
land.
You know there is nothing
sleepy or slow" about Key West.
Key West has always been So
cial city, and long before Jack
sonviIle or Miami ever became re-
sort centers. But the social ac-
tivities of the Island We're of the
aristocratic idea and it was more
than just pleasure for people to
drop into the city and mingle
with the aristocratic Floridians
on the Island. Key West still and
always viii hold that old-time
atmosphere Of dignity. It belongs
to her, it is very appropriate and
viii last forever. But. with the
LIGHT Of a new prosperity, things
are going to be different. Key
West may be turned into a rack
let city, OF Il may be made one
of the most prominent resort
cepteEs in the world, where the
finest d people may want to
come and relax, become strong
er and enjoy its natural health
advantages.
Like the vultures awaiting the
last breath Of some animal or hui
man, stands ready outside the
limit, numerous ''raekets"-ya-
rious destructive ideas that win
destroy the better chances to go
forward.
Key West must by all means be
pleasure center as well as q
health center. 1t already has
enough recreational chance games,
that will appeal to the sporting
element who crave the strenuous
night-life and love to spend their
leisure moments with Lady Luck.
In its natural simplicity those
games that have been going on
for century on the Island win
become fascinating in themselves
to the visitor. / do not believe
there is mrch need for outside
promoters along such lines, and
with bit of polishing Up or beau
LITIGATION of such places, there
will, by I'll means, I believe, be
enough to make it interesting for
the new Corners. Too much of this
night-lifs stuff will defeat every
good chance of keeping the OPP
posite class of visitors from en-
joying their stay on the Island.
To throw the place wide open
will surely ruin everything. OF
course, this will not be done, but
| things can get out Of control in a
hurry if things are not planred
| Just right in the beginning. One
only has to read the Florida dali

Woman Crusade Holds Lesson for Pessimists

No one can look at the state OF
the world today without finding
a great many reasons for dark
peSsimism. We, seem to be so COM
pletely at the mercy of the mass
ed forces of greco, stupidity, and
might that no one person can do
very much to improve things.
And yet there are persons in
this world whose lives are a liv-
ing proof that no entrenched evil
is entirely secure against a de-
voted individual who dares to fol-
low an ideal; and every so often
we get a comforting reminder of
their existence.
A few days ago, for example, a
large number of people sent mes
sages to the town of Westport,
Conn, congratulating Lillian Wald
on her 10th birthday. Miss VALID,
old and in retirement now, has
done things which ought to bring
hope to the most respondent.
II was back in 1893 that Miss
Wald, graduate of a nurses train
ing school and a woman'S medical
college, became appalled, by the
things poverty, congestion, and ig-
norance were doing to the slum
dwellers OF New York's lower east
side, and decided to do something
about it.
What she did was to establish
the now famous Henry Street Set
tlement. She organized a visiting
nurse service-the firat one in
existence anyWhere-and made her
settlement house, as a writer re-
Gently remarked, "the focus OF a
beneficent infection"
Down the years, ever since, the
organization she founded and guild
ed has done a human service whose
value it is impossible to estimate.

No one knows how many lives have
been saved, how many thousands
of discouraged slum dWellers have
been given chance at decent liv-
ing how many men and women
have been saved from degradation
and turned into good citizens, how
much plain human happiness has
been created out of nothing, be-
cause of this woman's work.
Work is the word for it, ,too~
Miss Valid had no resources bu
her own determination. She had
to argue and plead with politi-
clans, to coax money out of peo-
pile who had tit was said at one
time that it cost $4,000 to sit next
to her at a banquet, SO energetic
and persuasive was she in her quest
for funds. She had to battle the
worst of all the worlds enemies
Of reform-public indifference-for
long year after year.
But she did all these things, did
them over and over again, and
infused the spirit to go on doing
them into everyone who worked
with her. And if New York has
had a more completely useful citi-
zen during the last 40-odd years,
it is hard to think who it might

Now the point of it all is that
this woman'S life is living re

set out to tackle one of the great
est problems of modern life.
She didn't solve it, of course
who could have expected that?
But she did make life-sized dent

yield to a determined attack. And,
she did prove, everlastingly, that
