you could wish to attend.
In place of ornately robed and
hooded professors, there were only
a wholesome loking young woman
in her twenties, a fatherly looking
man, and a girl at a battered up
right piano.
The audience was made up for
the most part of careworn women
who had come there for free food.
Here and there were a few men,
derelicts who had apparently
dropped in for relief from the
street outside.
But on the stage was the gradu-
ating class of Miss Elaine Olson's S
kindergarten, 20 towheads ar
ranged in a semicircle of little
green chairs.
Six of the towheads were "gradu,
ates." You knew this by the
white mortarboards affixed at
perilous angles on their heads with
hairpins furnished by the teacher.
The program got under way
promptly at 9:15. With re
markably true voices, the class
sang HE Lay Down His Life for
His Sheep" Then there was a
recitation of the tenth chapter of
John. verses five through nine
Never a hitch.

scratched wherever she itched.
Star pupil of the class, although
he was not graduating, was
Harvey Prentice, jr., son of the
superintendent of the mission.
Harvey won three prizes.
There was more singing by the
class, to the accompaniment OF
Miss Bonnie Bulla, at the battered
piano-"Christ in Me-" Happy
Times Together" Then the
diplomas were passed out.
Everyone got a certificate OF
some kind, even the youngest mem
ber of the class, Ruth Prentice,
two and just about up to her
fathers knee.
The audience filed out, to &c
next door for the free food. The
class abandoned the fitfully lit
stage. Up stepped one Of the
youngsters to Miss Olson, protter
ing his diploma.
DO we have to give it back
now?"
Miss Olson looked at your re-
porter.
yesterday, I wanted things
to go just right. So I had them
practice with the certificates,
and then took them back for
today"
This is Miss Olson's last veal
with the mission after three years
in Washington. Next fall. she's
going to Alaska to do missionary
work.

DANGER SEEN IN
OvER-SPENDING

A warning against over-spend-

degrees were conferred on $50.
Archbishop Curley of Baltimore
presided at the exercises.
corresponding will destroy
any institution, domestic, indus
trial, or governmental" Kelley
declared. IF we hope to sur
vive, expenditures must be
brought and kept within re-
ceipts. To say the least, we
tread right now on dangerous
ground. We must take heed lest
we be too late"
Kelley urged examination of
"the tendency to enlarge the
sphere of the national govern
ment at the expense of State
power" in which he saw dangers.
The enjoyment of religious lib
erty in this country, in contrast
with some countries of Europe,
Kelley said, was due to the form
of government, for which he
urged support Of all.
THAT form Of government" he
said, "is the cause of the relatively
happy condition not only of the
Catholic Church, but of our citi-
zens in general"
Kelley, an '08 law school grad
uate, is general counsel of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad, and lives
in Houston, Texas.

OUR HIGHWAYS ARE SAFER

The fact that motor-vehicle deaths
show a decrease of about twenty per cent
as compared with the fatalities of last year
on the basis of gasoline consumption, is
encouraging but it should not make us for
get that this year something like $1,000
lives will be lost in traffic accidents.
Since November, 1887, there has been
a sustained reduction in the number of
traffic deaths although automobile travel
has increased. Apparently the campaign
for safety on our highways is succeeding
but there must be no let-up. Every driver
of motor vehicle must contribute to the
safety of others by driving carefully at all
times -
We feel sure that the reduction in
fatalities is the result, in part, of i'm
proved highways. with especial reference
TO safety measures taken by engineers to
reduce the hazards of the roads 1t is also
in part, the result of better regulation of
drivers and improved traffic control. both
by physical devices and proper police
supervision.

The Files of The Citizen

Bayview Park presented a
wonderful scene of gaiety and &C
tivity last night when approx
mately 1000 persons gathered to
hear speeches on democracy
made by candidates and others.
The Key West Civic Band, under
the leadership of Haydn Hing
worth, furnished music during
the meeting. The meeting was
presided over by Judge j. Vim
ing Harris, who introduced the
speakers. The first speaker was
]. Lancelot Lester, who kept the
crowd interested for more than
Is minutes. He was followed by
w. II. Malone, who, in turn, was
followed by William V. Albury.
Each of the speakers dwelt on
the cause of democracy and ask
ed the hearers to think of democ-
racy as the only cause for which
to fight and to devote every eff
fort toward making it VIC
torious cause on election day in
November.

QUIET, PLEASE!

Many thousands of the well-to-do
folks who annually come to Florida from
the north are middle-aged or elderly men
and women. They no longer have any de-
sire to run around in circles looking for
something exciting to do. They merely
want to pass their remaining days in our
bright and beneficent sunshine, taking
life easy, going to bed early and resting
quietly away from the rush and roar and
rumble of city traffic and city noises.
These visitors spend the first week or
month of their visit looking around for
quiet and peaceful place to enjoy the sum
shine. When they find the spot they want
they are prepared to pay literally for
homes, food and services. What they
want is quiet and peace.
Key West has a magnetic quality
that appeals to such folks. Many of those
who visit the city this winter will want to
remain here. If they cannot find homes
to rent, they will build, many of them. But
they will not rent home or build one
where they feel they will be disturbed by
night noises. 1t is for that reason homes
on some of our downtown streets will be
difficult to rent. People who want quiet
will be unable to find that quality on those
streets
The principal disturbances, according
to observers, are created by unnecessary
blowing of automobile horns unmuffled
truck and car exhausts and the idiotic prac-
tice of some drivers to tear through the
streets with their cutouts wide open. Some
OF our local motorists drive almost ex-
clusively with their horns Instead of
slowing their cars at intersections as
safety precaution, these drivers foot their
horns and roar through the crossing at top
speed in the vacuous belief no other motor
list would dare challenge them the right of
way.
That may be considered smart driv-
ing by some motorists, but it certainly is
rot the smart thing for the city of Key
West to allow. Householders close to
many downtown intersections are serious
ly disturbed at night by such driving tao
Vs. II 10 Pebi CiSUloAlJ ing III liIC
early morning and is a practice that will
drive many seekers of peace and quiet out
of the city. 1t is too bad automobile horns
cannot be abolished entirely, for there is
nothing more disturbing than horn in the
hands of an inexperienced driver.
The people of Key West cannot de-
pend upon industries for livelihood. They
cannot always expect the WPA to supply
them with jobs and money. The future
hope of this city is in visitor and vacation
trade. Everything should be pointed to
appeal to visitors and vacationists, for
many of them will become permanent resi-
dents. Their business will prove the sal
walton of our unemployed. Quiet" should
be the wachword.
