closed today.
The proposal, while still in a
nebulous state, is based upon the
original New Deal theory of self
government for industry under
strict Government supervision.
BENEFITS DISCOVERED
The possibility of revival of the
code system in some form was
heightened following President
conference with seven Southern
governors, in which he persuaded
them to back the principle of "a
floor for wages and a ceiling for
hours"
The benefits of NRA codes, as
viewed by the Administration,
were discussed by Mr.. Roosevelt
in painting a picture of the ad-
vantages of national wage-hourS
legislation to the governors.
The plan of having industry, un.
der Government supervision reg
ulate itself, was stressed in the
White House conference, it was
revealed, with the participants
predicting a new compromise ap-
proach to the wage-hour problem
on this basis.
LABOR BILL CITED
A step toward revival of the coda
system was taken by the House
Labor Committee when it devised
a one-man administration Of the
proposed wage-hours law in tne
Labor Department, with commit,
tees representing industry, labor
and the public being set up to
draft a schedule.
This plan, however, was at
tackled by friends of the code sys-
tenn on the ground that it was so
loosely drawn that it did not
meet the objective Of giving in
dustry a chance for self-govern-
ment.

Key West is getting to be leading tourist
center. 1t is Americas farthest South magnet for
visitors.
In 1850 Key West had 2,645 population, 10th
city of the state; in 1910 it had 21,563 and was
eighth city in rank.
In 1920 Key West had 1919 population, was
fifth city of Florida Orlando only had 9,2s2
population and was seventh, right behind ST.
Petersburg Miami had only 2957l and Tampa
$1,000.
According to the 1891 state census Key West
had 1884 compared to orlandos approximate
$4,000 and Orange county's 10000.
Fuller's Florida Letter comments:
Key West is sorely puzzled at times by grow
ing pains. Economically asleep for 90 years, fl
people; it has suddenly been hurled by its new
auto bridge into business maelstrom and must
attempt almost over night to convert itself from
a sleepy fishing village into that most highly or
ganized form of community tourist center.
Suddenly Key West finds that it needs a
multitude of things. From collections of as low
as 80 per cent it has sprung close to 100 per cent
as its realty suddenly had value. But 100 per
cent is not enough. So council ordered the As
SCISSOR Samuel B. Pinder to double assessment

ION Borrowed Time" is a new play
which had its premier in New York re-
Gently. Geo. NJ. Cohan. the playwright, said
il was the best comedy he had seen in five
years. On the other hand Lionel Halves,
an English critic. said on its opening in Lon
don. that it was ''trite. over-winsome. con-
fused. tricky, unconvincing, pathetic. i'll
shaped, ingenious. indeterminate, callow
and a calculated. bare-faced. blue-eyed
bore" The conclusion to be drawn from
the counter criticisms is that play is like
a cigar. matter of taste-good il you like
it and bad if you don't. No one can force
q play or cigar down our threats.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia
visitor on the Aragon front in
Spain last spring was amazed
and alarmed to find himself
walking with a guide through
trenches only knee-deep, and the
enemy lines 800 yards away. - ~
As he Owed for cover, his Off
Ger guide turned to reassure him
Ly saying: ea5
That's all right, we don't shoot
at each other up here. s,
The visitor thereupon proceed
ed with a three-day survey of for
tifications in that sector during
which he avows he didn't hear a
rifle shot fired Gin anger.
In fact the story was current,
he said, that a rifle shot was used
as an afraid warning. He couldn't
confirm this, but he was able to
confirm that officers, instead of
living at the front, lived leisurely
in homes several miles behind
the lines, and came to the front
during the day much as business
man would 60 to his office.
Beware of the Enemy
Another visitor to that front
once reported an arrow sign,
like a highway marker, pointing
across country, with the legend,
Enemy Lines, Three Kilometers,
DANGER.
IS Along this front, it might be
added, troops planted and culti-
waited flower gardens between the
lines during the summer of 1887
That's all changed now, how
ever, for when General Franco
looking for a weak spot this
spring, hit this sector, his troops
weren't stopped until they were
swimming in the Mediterranean
and Loyalist Spain had again
been divided in half.
No-Man's-Land may be 10
miles or more across, the lines
consisting only of outposts, an
artillery piece, or a machine gun
crew commanding a valley. On
one occasion the Loyalist cavalry
turned cowboy temporarily and
rounded up 5000 head of cattle
grazing in NO an's-Land" on
the southern front. Not a shot
was fired at them.
Another time in Estramadura
two n-commissioned officers
from Insurgent Spain deserted to
the Loyalists in a high-powered
American motor car, riding up in
style to surrender and to be
greeted joyously because they
had the wit to bring along thou
sands of cigarettes to the tobacco
less Loyalist outpost.
When isolated Asturias fell last

troops made their way unmolest-
ed through the enemy lines.
across $50 miles of enemy coun-
try and more enemy lines, and
rejoined the sLoyalistsa at Madrid.
o Fishing for Food
Troops often hunt and fish be-
tween the lines, not for sport, but
! for fresh food which is always
welcome. Cases of peasants tilling
their soil in comparative peace
bewteen the so-called lines have
been reported at various times.
The reason is obvious. Spain is
divided into two enemy camps by
more than 1000 miles of lines. i.
! three times the front line terri
tory in France and Belgium dur
ing the World war which was
manned by probably 10 times as
many men. Even in France there
were quiet sectors with weeks of
inactivity.
In Spain only key highways
and positions are heavily en-
trenched and fortified. Even man.
ming these fortificatinos requires
so many men that neither side
has large numbers of offensive
troops. That is one factor pro-
longing the war. Neither side has
force free to strike with over
towering strength at a vital spot.
/ FraterniziHg across the lines de-
spite every effort to stop it is re-
ported on limited scale.
! Propaganda by loudspeaker is
used to convince the other troops
they are fighting for the wrong
cause and should desert. These
methods reap some rewards.
There is constant desertion back
and forth on small scale, such
deserters often bringing import
ant military information. The
enemy invariably starts minor ac-
ton when the loudspeakers go in
to play, attempting to drown out
the voice.
| Often this spreads the alarm to
nearby sectors and before long
there is heavy firing on miles
long front, none knowing just
what brought, on the action.

TRIPPERs ARE HOME PROSPECTS

Il can't see how the Overseas High
way has helped my business any, Key
West merchant was heard to remark the
other day "The majority of those who
have come here the last few months just
came to look around. They didn't buy
anything and some of them even brought
their own lunches along"
That's an isolated and far-from-pop-
ular opinion. The businessman who ex-
pressed the sentiment is pretty narrow
man, for all he can see is today's cash
balance Tomorrow's possibilities and the
prosperity of the majority of this COM
munity are of no interest to him-or so he
believes. He forgets his profits in the past
have come mainly from northerners who
have wintered here.
Key West should welcome the tripper
who comes for an hour or two or for day
and then drives back to the mainland.
Such tripper during his short visit might
be delighted with the climate. take a fancy
to the architectural appearance of one of
our old residences, or he may be fascinated
by the towering trees and shrubs on this
beautiful island. That man will remember
something about Key West and will make
arrangements to return for a longer visit.
If he does return and if his first i'm
pressions are confirmed by more careful
survey he buys an old home or selects a
vacant lot on which to put up a dwelling.
No matter which course he follows that
man makes cash investment in Key West.
He is property owner and soon may be-
come resident, for part of the year at
least. If he only stays few months he
will spend at least $1,000 for rent, food
and services for himself and family.
1t is reasonably safe to state that the
bulk of the $50 families that winter here
came down the first time just for day or
two. They found local conditions to their
liking and returned year and year. They
either own their own homes or rent them
from others. Not few of them are build
ing or planning to build new residences
Thus the logical conclusion is that a
day tripper is prospective citizen of Key
West. If just one out of every 100 tourists
expected here this next winter remains for
the season it would mean tremendous
volume of business for this community. 1t
would mean prosperity for many of our
merchants and work for many of our citi-
zens. Welcome the tripper with open
arms. show him the beauties of the city,
and let nature take her course

Ago Today As Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

There were 1,436 Spanish War
Veterans arriving in Key West
yesterday afternoon from Ha-
vana where they had been at
tending the annual convention of
the veterans. The Steamship
Baracoa, which was chartered by
the Cuban government for the
purpose of transporting members
of the organization to and from
Havana, brought a full load. The
others arrived by vessels of the
p. and o. S. S. company. While
most of those arriving yesterday
afternoon left on the evening
train, there were many, how
ever, who stopped over to spend
the night and many of them re-
main until tomorrow in this city.
Members of B. H. McCalla Camp,
of Key West, the Drum and Bugle
Corps and many other local resi-
dents came over on the Baracoa,
arriving just before dark. Many
of those who decided to spend to-
morrow in the city declare they
had a most enjoyable time. The
Knights of the Golden Eagle
