Behind Plus Signs
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, July 81 GN.S).

today from an early irregular
trend. The majority of leaders
moved behind plus signs, but there
we're few losses scattered through
the general list.
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem and
Youngstown each climbed more
than point in moderately active
turnover.
Rails took over leadership on the
upside late in the second hour, and
were joined by rail equipments.

along with Southern Pacific and
N. Y. Central, while Santa Fe
spurted close to 2. American Loco

COMMENDABLE ACTION

A very long-standing thorn in its side
was removed by city council last week
when it secured a loan from the Board of
Public Works to supplement other moneys
obtained and make final payment of $751;
500 on the large fire engine the city owns
The young, hard working city coun-
ciPs action in promptly working up the
funds is to it's credit and advantage.
Credit comes in praise for the energy
months before occupational licenses were
due, canvassed local merchants and asked
is and will be badly needed in the city.
This move is unprecedented in Key West
history, and speaks we'll for council that
sees an emergency and promptly puts
through emergency measures.
A look to the future clearly shows
the advantage Tall hotels and apart
ment houses are going up over the city at
present and great many more will GER
tainly find root in this city with the pres
ent need for them. Such an engine, cap
able of fighting six story fires with ease,
would be commanding factor in any fire
situation that should arise in the city.
If the city were not without the en-
CINE in question, at an early date insurance
companies would not have given policies
on those tall buildings without demanding
a large premium. We don't even have to
go in to the future to get more convincing
arguments in this phase of the question.
The day the engine went out over the
highway insurance companies would have
boosted their premiums on every house in
the city This would have been a situa-
ton indeed for failure to pay a $500
debt!
The energetic council now in office
can tack one up on its credit side for its
work in this matter-and it and the city
can look with pleasure and confidence at
the long, sleek, red engine-the city's own
standing in the Number One Fire Sta
ton at the City Hall.

HERE is YOUR BUSINESS

About the only time that the average
citizen of Key West pays any attention to
his or her physical well-being is when
illness or accident puts them in bed.
This is, unfortunately, the truth in
regards to most persons. 1t is a reflection
upon the intelligence that men and women
are supposed to have.
The neglect of the body is only COM
parable to eur negligence in regards to
mental powers. Every individual has
abundant opportunity to improve intel
lectually but few of us bother ourselves to
do so. This, too, is reflection upon the
intelligence that we are generally so glad
to boast about.
When it comes to the realm of
spiritual improvement the average in
dividual goes into complete eclipse, except
i'm extremely rare and trying moments.
Those of us who believe in the possession
of a soul know full well that our spiritual
growth is possible and most of us believe
that it is. the great function of human
existence.
In spite of this belief and the faith
that moves us along life's highway we
carelessly drift along, without bothering
very much about principles or the lack of
them. Few of us attempt to guide our
daily life by the eternal verities that we
accept 1t is little bit foolish when one
begins to reflect upon it.
The encouraging thing about in
dividual growth is that it requires no COM
mittee meetings. no mass purpose and no
assistance from other people 1t is one
job that the individual man. or woman,
can plan and complete upon personal
Initiative The only question is, when
will We begin"

DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today AS Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

Congress yesterday passed Con-
gresham Sears resolution au-
thorizing a survey of the Over
seas Highway bridges, to determ-
inc the amount necessary for the
building of the bridges. The
measure will now go to the SEN
ate for action. News stories out
of Washington last night indicat-
ed that the resolution emanated
out of the Senate, but this is not
so, as the resolution was intro
duced by Congressman Sears
some time ago. The Citizen re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Sears
today. This afternoon the tele-
gram sets out, Mr.. Sears was
recognized by the speaker of the
house and given the opportunity
to introduce Resolution Number
256, authorizing the survey of the
roads and uncompleted bridges
from Key West to the mainland,
with a view to ascertaining the
cost of construction of the bridges
and report to Congress. Mr.. Sears
writes that he els glad l was able
to do this for Monroe county as
a first step to securing construc-
ton of the bridges. ,,,ll ii

Four young women, stowaways
on United States vessels, were
put ashore at Key West a short
time after they were discovered
by officers of the three craft on
which they were hidden. Billy
Lacey, 18, and Rose Mcguire, her
pal, slipped on board the U.S.S.
Concord Sunday night at New
Orleans. Billy Lacey told The
Citizen today that none of the Of
ficers of the ship knew of their
presence until they were discov-
cred this morning The other two
who gave their names as Flossie
Rice and Romilda Avery told Of
ficers that one of them slowed
away on the U.S.S. Sands and the
other on the Dobbin. The four
women were expected to leave
on the evening train with the
tickets which were purchased for
them. Should they stay on the
train the tickets will take them
direct to New Orleans, but this
may not happen, as was indicated
by one of the young women who
says they can get work in Phila-
delphia.

A DIPLOMA is NOT CONCLUSIVE

There is lot of hazy thinking over
the country as to education. The fact that
boy or a girl manages to get college
diploma does not necessarily testify conclu-
