Start chicks too late; start
with poor quality chicks; brood
in filthy, poorly ventilated quart
ers; quit feeding mach after first
few weeks; raise pullets on dis
ease and parasite infested ground;
allow pullets to become infested
with worms: house birds in I'M
comfortable quarters; fail to con-
troll lice and mites; feed a ra-
ton of white corn and ice water

Nina Hawkins. editor of the
St. Augustine Record, was a re-
cent visitor to Key West, and
wrote delightfully."- descriptive
story of her visit and trip over
the Overseas Highway, which is
herewith reproduced.
The writer is constant reader
of The Citizen, and finds it lone
of the most readable papers on
the exchange list. The article
follows:
What do you really think of
the Overseas Highway?
Is it true that there is a bridge
seven miles long?
Don't you get jittery on those
long bridges?
Is the water as beautiful as
they say it is?
Do you think Key West in
teresting?
These are some of the ques-
tons that have been flung at us
since we returned from brief
weekend trip to the Island City,
the southernmost municipality of
Florida and the nation.
To answer the questions cate
gorically:
Henry M. Flagler's Overseas
Railway was hailed as the eighth
wonder of the world, land it
seems to us that the Overseas
Highway now holds that distinc-
ton. 1t is a remarkable piece
of engineering, and offers a
motor trip that is unique in this
country-perhaps even in the
world.
Yes, there really is a seven
mile bridge, built over one of the
long railroad viaducts with its
mighty spans and graceful arch
es. One might think the seven
mile stretch across that open
water could contribute to a case
of the nerves, but one never
thinks about anything of that
kind. The car bowls along mer-
rily. The bridge offers a perfect
road bed, and there are substan-
tial ratings, of steel and con-
crete. We 60 up a steep incline
to get to the top of the famous
Bahia Honda span, and never
think about elevation, except
with sense of exhilaration and
exultation. as a magnificent pam
Drama is spread before our eager
eyes. COLI tlgnI.
The water is indescribably
beautiful Opalescent, amethy-
slime, aquamarine, sapphire blue,
rose-colored! Really it runs the
rainbow gamut of color! Having
made the trip over the keys
years ago by the Overseas Rail-
way, the beauty of it has stayed
with usl We remembered those
vivid and lovely tints, and won
dered if they really could be as
beautiful as recollection prom
Used. But they are!
The keys are veritable emerald
islands. How can that coral
foundation support such rank
vegetation? Palm hammocks,
and mangrove thickets grow lush
and green. Here and there one
sees the lime groves for which
the Keys are famous. We buy
some of those noted Key lines
at a wayside stand and continue
on.
The latter part of the trip into
Key West is over the long wood
en- bridges which formed part of
the Overseas Highway, when fer
ries were used for the long gaps

that are now bridged over the
railroad right of way. Nobody
seems to know whether the high
way will finally be completed in
to Key West over the railway
right of way and its sturdy spans
and arches. The powers-that-be
had better move swiftly, if they
expect to get this done, because
there is no telling how long Santa
Claus in the shape of WPA and
PWA will be handing out lavish.
gifts. According to The Key
West Citizen, the disputed right
of-way on which r. c. Perky
holds a claim, will be settled by
condemnation proceedings.
Now as for Key West, we found
it delightful, and want to go
back there. 1t is an odd and
fascinating medley of the old and
the new-of houses hugging the
streets, and houses set back, MAX
ing an irregular street line that
is oddly attractive. Many struc-
lures are innocent of paint, and
others almost so. But most of
them are sheltered and softened
by strange tropical growths,
trees, shrubs, vines and flowers.
1t has the mark of a foreign
town. There is nothing stereo-
typed about Key West II . is
quaint, interesting and different!
Surely no city ever had so unique
and picturesque an approach,
along miles of causeway, planted
on either side with wind blown
coconut palms.
Having been told where to eat,
we hunted up our Spanish restau-
rant, and started the meal with
the famous Spanish bean soup.
Fish, for which Key West is ia
nous, was on the menu, and the
foreign looking and tasting des-
sert was a delectable custard,
over which one ate rich guava
preserve. 1t sounds strange, but
was a great success-in Key
West. We don't suppose we
would dare to try anything like
that at home!
We ate all this to the accom-
paniment of lurid tropical sun
rises and sunsets that adorned the
walls. the colors having been laid
on by a lavish hand, We knew
the answer before we asked the
waiter. / who did your pictures
we. queried, and got, again the
magic letter combination that
one hears so much in Key West:
"WPA.'" u ans. -
J On our trip over the Keys we
felt almost guilty when asking
for a glass of water, after we
realized that unless rainfall is
plentiful, people have to rely on
getting supplies by truck. That's
a long way to tote water!
AT various little Key settle
ments are souvenir stands where
pieces of coral and shells are for
sale. And in Key West small
Cubans and little negro boys Of
fer to guide you about the city;
also urge upon you the most
beautiful of conchs and other
types of shells. But talking of
shells you haven't seen anything
unless you have seen the souvenir
stands and shell shops along the
highway outside of Miami. The
piles get bigger, and the shells
get cheaper. We don't see why
there are any conchs left in the
ocean, We are sure they are all
piled up at those roadside stands!

the applause that followed seemed
to be located largely in the vicin-

Argentine delegation especially
seemed to sit on its hands. Argen-
tina takes a sort of dominant at

time out of hours in talking about

The Argentine grafton, which was
delivered just before Mr.. Hull's,
declared in favor of all the solidar-
ity which Mr.. Hull preached but
expressed the thought that the pro-
gram of peace could be safeguarded
by moral suasion rather than by
display of armament.
In his address Mr.. Hull used only
one sentence that might have been
construed as even, an indirect ref
erence to the confiscations in Mex
leo. His declaration for better
understanding of international law
had some words reminiscent of his
first note on the Mexican confisca-
tions. The Mexican delegates ex-
plain that these had no such mean

cations will be settled on the basis

with a few exceptions, continued
to point moderately higher in to-
days stock market while many
pivotal industrials logged along
over slightly lower trail.
Early losses ranging from frac..
tions to point or so were reduced
in many cases at the close but the
line of least resistance was still
downward. Motors came back after
non and virtually erased morning
declines
Dealings were about as slow as
in Mondays lettering session, with
transfers approximating 100000
shares
Further laggard tendencies were
attributed mainly to tax selling for
income returns, to additional weak
ness OF the British pound in terms
OF the dollar and to the desire Of
many commission house customers
to step out of the speculative picture
over Thursdays Thanksgiving holi-
day when the exchange will shut
down.
Business news, on the whole. was
far from depressing, although some
thought was given to a flattening
out of the upward curve in the near
term with later resumption of the
forward move
Aircrafts, while the best through
out, were hardly as buoyant as in
the preceding day and several
slipped behind minus signs as profit
selling made its appearance.
Inclined to back away were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Sears Roe
buck, Douglas Aircraft, American
Zinc, Anaconda, American Smelt-
ing, Union Carbide, Western Union
and Southern Railway.

October Volume Shows
9.56 Per Cent Gain
Over 1887 Levels
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Substantial improvement in kilo-
watt hour sales of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. in the first 10 months
of this year, as compared with the
corresponding months in 1887, is re-
vealed in a review of the company's
reports. The notable increase in
output of electricity is natural in
view of the steadily improving gen.
eral business conditions in the
Capital.
In October alone kilowatt hour
sales totaled 60,087, ,584, against only
54,843,575 in October, 1887, a gain
of 5,244, ,009, or 9.56 per cent, accord
Ing to the monthly statement. While
October witnessed an excellent de-
mand for electricity, sales in Sep
tember were the largest OF any
month this year, with August stand
ing second in output. The figures
show that the full years total is
certain to be far ahead of 1887.

Wife Cannot Talk
AGAINST Husband

LOS ANGELES, Nov. %. up
Charles Mcdonald, accused of shoot
ing Mrs. Karl Kruger, wife of the
Kansas City orchestra leader, re-
ceived his first break" today when
California law stepped in to pre-
vent his wife, Frances, from testi-
flying against him.
There was no sign of recognition
nor reconciliation between the ac-
cused 29-year-old electrician and
his wife during the two hours she
spent in the courtroom.
Called to the witness stand. Mrs.
Mcdonald, who, Mcdonald charg-
ed was unduly intimate with Mrs.
Krueger, was unable to offer one
bit of testimony. Defense Attorney
william Beirne invoked the law
which declares a wife incompetent
to appear against her husband in a
criminal case without mutual con-
sent.
