POrcupine's Quilts

The porcupine's quill equipment
is indeed the secret of it's survival.
1t has no speed, no keenness of eye
sight or smell, no cunning, but it
does have between 10000 and 49,
600 daggers, each more poisonous
than the sting of wasp. The point
of each quill is polished and very
keen. Then come the barbs, over
a thousand of them, which begin to
stick out when they enter warm
flesh, like the barbs on fish hook.

Hockey Student

The Hawks had finished sixth in
. league of eight teams and bare
ly edged into the Stanley Cup finals.
First they took on the Montreal
Canadiens. Everybody said they'd
be a pushover. In the first game it
looked as if the prediction would
come true The Canadiens won.
Then the teams moved to Chicago
and the Hawks captured two games,
winning the right to meet the New
York Americans, winners of the
series between the second-place
teams of the leagues two divisions.
In the series with the Americans
the Hawks repeated their winning
performance. That put them in the
finals for the Stanley Cup which
never before had been won by an
American team managed by IAN
American. Their opponents were
the admittedly superior Toronto
Maple Leafs. The Hawks were on
the spot,
The first game was at Toronto.

would have to be left out of the

Stewart Busy
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

Bill Stewart, manager of the Chi
cago Blackhawks, could give you a
personal testimonial concerning the
veracity of the old saw that "all
work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" Compared to Bill the
one-armed paper hanger, the Swiss
bell ringer, and the perpetual mo-
ton man are pikers.
You'd think a man would be en-
titled to rest after accomplish
ing the miracle of winning the
worlds hockey championship with
a team that people Uttered at when
the play-offs began. But not Bill.
No sooner was the Stanley Cup
series over than he donned his
spikes, mask and chest, protector
and began calling balls land strikes
as National league umpire.
When the worlds series was fin
ished on October IL, last year Stew
art grabbed a plane in New York
and flew to Muskegon, Mich,' to
take charge of the BlackhaWks in
his first year as their manager. Bill
had BEEN referee in the National
Hockey league in between baseball
seasons for several years. :. He de-
; veloped ideas on how hockey should
: be played as a result of his observa-
tons of" the various teams. How
successful those ideas were was
demonstrated when the underdog
Hawks bagged the cherished STAN
ley Cup by routing the favorite To-
ronto Maple Leafs.

CIVILIANS TO BE BOMBED

A recent survey shows that ninety-one
per cent of the American people favor an
international agreement to prevent bomb
ing of civilians in cities during wartime.
More than sixty per cent of the people be-
lieve that the United States should call
conference for the purpose of making eff
fective such an agreement.
A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress by Representative E. C.. Eicher, of
Iowa, proposing an international confer
ence to outlaw the bombing of defenseless
women and children during war. The
world powers would be asked to re-state
international law and to stigmatize the
practice of bombing civiliansa as being be-
yond the pale of even the naostfudimentary
civilization
- While the vast majoritySof the people.
of the world are IN favor of prohibiting the
bombing of civilians during war. there
seems to be no effective method to enforce
their Will An international conference
might "stigmatize" the wanton killing of
women and children, just as similar con-
ference secured an agreement from many
powers to renounce war as an instrument
of national policy, but the trouble arises
when one wonders how such an agreement
will be enforced
There is, unfortunately. at present,
no reason TO believe that certain powers
would observe such an agreement it, in
their opinion, the necessity of a military
situation, required them to bomb civilians.
The air raids in Spain and in China. in
flieting acute suffering to women and chill
dren. are examples that one can easily re-
call.

TEAMWORK DEMANDED

Evidence is plentiful that our citizens
are taking seriously the necessity for all
sorts of civic and public activities that will
make for bigger and better Key West.
The last week has been busy one. Be-
sides the primary there were meetings of
the city council, the county commission,
both the senior and junior Chambers of
Commerce, the Decoration Day committee,
the Cuban club and the committee in OBJ
servance of Rosllo's flight from Key West
to Havana and numerous other gatherings
Each had before it for consideration
important matters which, if consummated,
will work for the general good and the
greater prosperity of Key West and Mon
roe county. There are many things to be
done and all too few willing to get out and
do them. Others are willing to work, but,
lacking experience in certain civic affairs,
don't know how to go about working eff
fectively. Each, however, can be allotted
some task, some part i'm some activity that
will result in effective action along the
right lines.
1t therefore becomes a matter of or
ganization The leaders of our civic organ
izations, the committees working on the
celebration to observe the formal opening
of the Overseas Highway, the Rosillo flight
observance, the Decoration Day ceremonies
both here and at Matecumbeu monument
and the June 10-11 meeting of the East
Coast Dental society here must organize
wisely and push their projects with all
their vigor. Key West must be prepared
to show the rest of Florida she has not for
gotten how to do something for herself
The majority of the civic projects in
the offing will require generous public sup
port. Funds must be raised The general
public should contribute all they can to-
ward these funds. The people, if they lack
cash, should come forward with generous
contributions in the form Of effort 1t takes
work, rather teamwork, to arrange a sue
cessful celebration or convention.
While they may not be Immediately
visible, the returns will be as generous as
the offerings. Fresh faces, fresh money,
fresh friends will come to the community.
Rooms will be rented, food will be Sold
money will be circulated. Every new
penny brought to town will help swell the
golden flood of prosperity for Key West.

There is a word of four letters,

Fear can hold back a nation,
Fear stops one from doing ones

Fear causes most of our anguish,
Fear keeps one from finding true

Fear is an illusion-it doesn't ex-

Fear is only a state of mind,
Fear keeps one from reaching the

Fear makes one TO act as though

Fear was overcome by Him,
Fear must be mastered by all OF

Fear must be conquered within.

Of Key West is coming closer to

south in the United States, made
a big jump toward the mainland
in 1912 when Henry M. Flagler
spanned the ocean to Key West
with a $50,000,000 railway that
spans the sea in Herculean con-
crete arches, and is considered
one of the greatest engineering
feats of all time, known as the
eighth wonder of the world. 1t
has made another leap i'm the
opening of the Overseas High
way. Automobile ferries now ply
across the uncompleted water gap
in the picturesque highway which
will soon be reduced to 20 miles.
And the city jumped into the
hearts of golfers when it built a
$260,00O golf links, the only
course in the world which is
