CHAPTER 21


A GOOD SLEEP and good
meal are two of the greatest mir
acle workers known to mankind.
Thornton Holgate slept until
1870 that Sunday. He did not re-
greet missing church, for once. He
got up and bathed and felt very
refreshed, then ate hearty lunch
in the Rice Commons, read The
Chronicle and The Post, and saw
it was a lovely Sunday afternoon.
After that, he felt a little ashamed
of his actions the night before; it
occurred to him that he had acted
almost like freshman; he, a ma
ture man.
After all, it had been Saturday
night, a dance night. And Peaches
Pomeroy was five or six years
younger than he, young enough to
be a little bit careless. She had
been drunk, apparently; but then,
other people drank. In fact, some
people seemed to get drunk often
and still retain semblance of re-
spectability. DR.. Holgate felt that
Peaches was perhaps just in the
wrong crowd, under bad infiu-
ence.
With that thought he began to
cl1ide himself.
IF l had been more attentive,
had sought her earlier and offered
her wholesome entertainment, she
would not have succumbed to un-
worthy companionships," he told
himself. He did not realize that he
was just another young man in
love, tryingito rationalize his lady's
irrational actions. Many another
lover has thus unwittingly tried to
deceive himself.
He saw group of faculty men
walking toward the Rice tennis
courts, some in tennis dress, others
obviously going just as spectators.

Today gives strong attachment to
home and parents. The life NAV be
narrow, perhaps confined, but not an
unhappy one. The mind is restless
and little too impulsive, and not
enough foresight may be used for
great success; but with reasonable
precaution the faculties of modern edu

RELIEF "BUMS"

news item tells of Negro taxi driver who was
unable to work for tmebecause of illness He obtain
ed $50 from government relief agency to tide him over
Now he is back at work and is trying to return the money
When pointed out to him that he not legally
obligated to do this, he observed 'hat the way was
raised-and that's the way I'm raising my child"
great many other Americans learn a lesson
from this Negro taxi driver One of the most ominOus
the horizon is the that thousands of peo
pie have apparently to ook relief profession
They plan make it their lfe work. Productive jobs III
private industry hold attraction for them when they
take easy at the taxpayers expense They figure
someone owes them living
This isn't criticism of those people who have turned
to relief only last resort and eager get off the
rolls as opportunity for real job along
Nor it criticism of relief The hungry must be
fed the homeless sheltered the cothess clothed Honest
benefcares of relief aggressivey seek real employment
Professional "relief buns" a menace to demo-
cratic government.

unusual today 1t should be printed every relief

LABOR'S WORST ENEMY

Is opportunity being closed to the youth of America
That the logical question that arises when the facts
surrounding many labor controversies are vest-
gated
In an astonishing number of occupations ranging ali
the way from sem-skled to highlysklled labor union
membership absolutely essential to obtaining employ
ment in free country The closed shop rules supreme
Furthermore the closed union has lately put in its
pearance That Isl the union that refuses to take more
members the grounds that it has all the members
for whom work be found. Thus the young look
ing for confronted by the fact that he cannot get
job unless he joins union-and that the union will not
accept him, though he efford the initiation fee
which in is very high-$200 for example
To make matters worse the Seniority question has
been brought up, and major issue in the San
Francisco department store strike Workers demand
ions that closed to new MEMBERS that employers
choose from the existing membership and that the senlor
ty system control promotions young worker therefore,
hardly get work, if he does and has exceptional
ability he is held back by nfexble rule which makes
tenure of service the main arber for advancement
That state of affairs is reaction not progress And
if carried far enough the honest union and the ambitious
working will find that so-called labor movement
which closes opportunity to the young, and makes the
employer impotent in selecting help will be their
worst enemy.

Doll Draws and
Writes Poetry
Ancient tMarveIRestored to
Operation by Mechanic
In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA our age
is a period of mechanical invention,
and all of US have grown accus
toned to marvels of science, we
seldom realize that many years ago
men labored assiduously in their
laboratories successfully to create
automatic gadgets.
One of the most surprising exam
Piles of such early ingenuity is
French doll which is one OF the
proudest possessions of the Franklin
institute in Philadelphia. This doll,
which is just two feet in height and
was made about 200 years ago-be-
fore the days Of either steam or cleo
tricity-can write verses and draw
delicately lined pictures by means
of an amazing mechanism consist
ing of cams, cones, and pinions.
Motions Quite Lifelike.
AS this doll sits calmly at her
little desk and either writes the
verses or draws the pictures with
the fountain pen she holds in her
hand, she even mods her head and
moves her eyes realistically, as
though she were alive. Sometimes
she pauses in her work, as though
she were examining what she is
doing in order to see whether it is
satisfactory sometimes she stoops
over her paper as she continues her
efforts.
When the Franklin institute re-
ceived this French doll as a gift she
was not in her present perfect condi-
ton. AS a matter of fact, what
the institute received as a gift from
one of its patrons was merely
mass of cams, pinions, and cones,
along with the head on a spindle.
The poor little doll had been caught
in two fires and great deal of her
had been badly burned and de-
stroyed.
Nevertheless, when Halsey Rob-
erts, who was for years master
mechanic at the Franklin institute,
saw the dolls parts, he appreciated
that something could be done with
them and he determined to work
with the parts until he had restored
the mechanical marvel to its origi-
nal abilities.
Roberts toiled for nine months,
and he finally restored the mechan-
ical lady so that she performs her
uncanny talents without a hitch.
Three Verses, Four Pictures.
According to Charles Schrof, the
present director of the mechanical
shop at the institute where a great
deal Of restoration work is carried
on, the doll is completely automatic.
When it is wound up it writes three
different verses and draws four diff
ferent pictures, each one taking
from three to four minutes to COM
plete.
The motion of the dolls hand, in
three dimensions, is controlled by
three sets of cams mounted on one
shaft. The up-and-down motions are
effected by cams that have very
slight eccentric projections. The
other movements, which are of
greater scope. are controlled by
cones Of greater deviations from
circular form. The movements of
the head and eyes are achieved by
cones.
A Frenchman named Maillardet
is given the credit for having Great
ed the amazing mechanism.

A DEBT OF HONOR

Thwarted in the attempt to get "a 49,
900 appropriation from the Overseas Road
and Toll Bridge District commission by
reason of an unreasonable stand taken by
two upstate commissioners and hostile
opinion from the states attorney general,
the July Fourth Gala Fiesta Committee is
inaugurating a campaign to liquidate all
debts incurred in connection with the cele-
bration formally opening the mainland
highway. as9isvHs
Key West citizens are to be called
upon to supply the fund denied by the
bridge commission. Commissioners John
H. Costar, Willard M. Albury and C. C.
Symonette of this city made every effort to
obtain the money from commission funds
which were greatly swelled by the extra
traffic that came in over the highway dur
ing the period of the celebration. The ap-
preparation for advertising and publicity
was approved by Attorney Paul HI. Marks
of the bridge commission. He briefed the
entire procedure and presented favor
able opinion to the attorney general. That
worthy gentleman held the commission
had no legal right to make appropriations
for advertising and publicity ri
1t takes money to run such a celebra-
tion Many debts, number Of them still
unpaid, were incurred Several of those
to whom the money is owed can i'll afford
to stand loss. Nor can the individual
members of the general and operating
committees afford to pay the debts. They
are Carl Bervaldi, John HI. Costar. E. A.
Strunk, Jr., Ben d. Trevor, Mayor Albury
and Mr.. Symonette. They gave literally
of their time and effort to make the cele-
bration a success. They are now entitled
to be treated literally by the citizens of
Key West.
This is debt of honor, so when Allan
H. Armstrong, who has been appointed to
represent the committee, calls for con-
tribution the citizen or businessman APP
preached should remember that the good
credit of the community is as important as
individual credit responsibility. Each con-
tributor will be given certificate by the
committees agent. 1t will show the
amount of the contribution and certify the
donor as a loyal citizen of Key West

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Editor The. Citizen:
In last Saturdays issue of
your paper, was interested to
read of Mr.. Gekeler's Fact Find
ing" report as given to fellow
Rotarians at their meeting last
week. & i.
l was not interested tpleasing
ly, that isl to note some startling
omissions in the report, that part
of WHICH made mention fof / the
civic clubs of Key West, and the
work these groups are doing.
For instance-why no mention
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, that body of young men
who bid fair to turn things up
side down" in this city along
lines of really doing something
about providing a better city for
this coming winters crop of
tourist? 5a
Again-why should the Key
West Lions Club be omitted?
This group earns the grateful
thanks of the city-at-large for at
least one of their projects-the
New City Charter drive, which is
progressing so nicely. Other prof.
ects have been of signal benefit
to Key West.
Then, again-there is another
group of young men who were
omitted. The Stone Church Fell
lowship Club has a long list of
accomplishments to its credit,
and certainly the purposes for its
existence should be worthy of
note in any listing of the civic
clubs of Key West.
We do not doubt, DR.. John
'Gekeler's sincerity-however, we
do regret that he "carelessly"
omitted the above items in his
listing.
Yours for TRUTH,
K. w: BOOSTER.
