PROBLEM is BIG ENOUGH

In 1887, according to the National
Safety Council, 100000 Americans lost
their lives through accidents. Nearly ten
million persons were injured during the
year and the financial loss is estimated to
reach the staggering total of $3,600,OO0.-
600.
Motor vehicle accidents were respon-
sible for the death of $4,000 persons, the
injury of 1860, 900 and entailed an eco
nomic loss of S1,700,000, 900.
1t seems that the problem of avoiding
accidental death and injury is big enough
to engage even the attention of those
Americans who are no longer interested in
any figure less than millions.

BEWARE THE SNOW BIRDSl

Until the last few months Key West
had been pretty we'll isolated from the
mainland. It was difficult to get to and
from the city and the average crook con-
fined his nefarious operations along the
east and west coasts of Florida. Now the
situation is different. It is easy to get to
Key West. The result is the city is now
being visited by the same type of sharper
and slicker that annually infests the main
land regions. He leaves the north when
snow begins to fall and follows the "easy
money" crowd back to the northern re-
sorts in the springtime
Within the last week at least two
rackets have been worked successfully on
Key West merchants. In one case that
came to attention of the sheriff's office
after it was too late to make an arrest, two
crooks in a car with Georgia license plates
got away with merchandise and cash APP
proximating $1,000 They deposited
worthless check for collection in the
bank, rented home, took out gas and
electric meters, bought tires, radio ard
other merchandise, all with equally value
less paper. They used the rental and
meter receipts for Identification and the
goods were delivered to them at the house
they rented. 1t was three days after their
disappearance before it was discovered
tie checks were worthless, so that the
authorities were powerless.
In another case well-dressed woman
entered a store and bought a small
amount of merchandise, offering ST bill
in payment. When the: clerk gave the
woman change for the dollar, the stranger
charged she had presented SIS bill. The
clerk was certain the woman had offered
only ST bill and refused the additional
change until man, evidently a confed-
crate CT the woman, stepped up and veri-
fled her allegation. In confusion the
clerk made the mistake of handing out
four more dollars.
These may be regarded as typical
tricks which the snow birds will attempt
to play on our trusting merchants There
will be wide variety of other schemes.
lHGIG Will uG ShOIG CIldilSC dIIioCo, IhSNh
raisers and forgers, gold-brickers, penny
Watchers and other crooked whatnots
among the honest folks who come to Key
West. They will try every variation of
every old get-rich-quick scheme ever
worked anywhere.
Many times in the past few years The
Citizen has devoted space to warning our
merchants and residents to beware of such
sharpers The honest man will arrive
here with cash, travellers checks or othef
negotiable paper and will not ask any
merchant to cash personal check.
Honest men don't make such demands, as
a rule. If merchant wants to accept
personal check let him be sure he delivers
no merchandise or passes out no cash until
the check has been cleared and collected.
In fact, merchants and residents
should beware of all schemes that seem
off color, refuse to advertise in question
able and fly-by-night publications and
turn dowr the smoothies with the glib
tongues and slick ideas no matter what
kind of proposition they offer.

WHEN THE WHITE MAN is GONE

Here is what we consider an interest

1t seems that John Collier, Commits

TO prepare Indian youth to earn living
and sought to introduce courses to train
them in repairing automobiles.
The Indian Bureau teacher, however,
had trouble with the venerable Navajo
headman. He opposed the course. He
ssked. What good win such work do when
the white man and his care are gomez"

Headquarters of the WPA in Wash
ington had quite a chuckle last week when
an article from the ST. Petersburg Times
was called to its attention that those on re-
lief were spending their surplus money in
night clubs. II couldn't see how much
whoopee could be made by WPA workers
whose average stipend was about SIS a
week. especially by those who have fami-
lies TO support. This reminds us of the
story of the youth who was driving a
theatrical troupe to town and on the way
was asked how much money he made. The
young stage driver said that he was max
ing all of $3.50 each week. Queried as to
what he did with all that money, he re
piled -nonchalantly. Its the same old
Story-wine and women.

KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

The committee in charge of ar
rangements for the organization
of the Boosters Club meeting,
which will be held at the Strand
theater tonight at 8 o'clock, met
at the Woman's Club house last
night to work out details in con-
nection with the meeting tonight.
All reported much enthusiasm
throughout the city. The Boosters
Club, it was explained, is not to
take the place of nor conflict
with any other organization in
the city, but will supplement and
support the work of all organize
tons looking toward the adj
vancement of Key West and its
interests. Never in the history
of the city has there been such
exhibitions of civic pride and
wholehearted friendliness as is
shown now, nor has there been
seen such a widespread desire
among all classes and factions to
get together and work for the
betterment of the city as is being
manifested now, it was said by
those who are taking the initia-
tive in the Boosters Club, and
while the organization may be
slow in getting underway, it is
the first step in a city-wide
movement in getting Key West
its rightful place on the map.
The Inauguration of Governor
Doyle E. Carlton will be marked
by what is planned to be the
greatest ovation ever extended a
