lies In these small white pills. The
local medical association confirms
the opinion that they will offer a
chance at life. The pills are admin
istered two doses three hours apart,
then a dose every four hours.
"One days treatment under this
wonder-working medicine has been
known to destroy all pneumococci.
However, If there Is a : delay of
many hours-and it must neces-
sarily be so If she stays on the
roof-aid may come too late. The
wind would sweep away the medi-
cine if dropped. So a call is going
forth for a parachute jumper who
will make the attempt"
Sarah Anne stood up. She was
not a student. She did not need the
deans permission for any action.
She .yent down to the floor that
was level with the water and mo-
toned to a boatman who came
near. Here the water was quieter.
"Can you take me somewhere to
contact the radio station ?" She ex-
planned and the youth nodded
quickly.
Jump in, Florence Nightingale.
I'll take charge"
Less than 80 minutes later, as
he rested moment, Robert re-
ceived message. A man from the
local radio station was waiting for
him when he brought some pas
sengers to tn. refugee quarters. AS
the ship settled down on the cleared
space which made it possible to
land, the man said:
"A girl named Sarah Anne Mel
ton, a parachute jumper, has Of
fered to bail out with the medicine,
to keep it from getting lost or wet.
Says she knows how to work q
chute. One Of the boys has the
medicine and chute for her. But
she gave you as a witness she can
do it. So we thought we'd better
play safe"
Robert Kennedy leaned forward.
where is she now?"
AT the local airport. It's still In
use. Soggy and bad, though-we
can send radio message out and
she'd better get started. It's all
right, is it?"
"Send out word that she should
wait where she is. I'm going after
her. If she jumps. it's from my ship.
Understand ?"
Then he pulled his goggles over
his narrowed eyes, climbed back
into the cockpit. and left with a
roar.
Sarah Anne, standing near the
impatient pilot of the other ship,
knew that it was Robert Kennedy
who was zooming in. She had not
wanted to give his name as a refer
ence, but the local radio station, in
charge Of the flood work, had en-
phatically refused to let her make
the parachute jump unless she
could prove that she knew what
she was doing. She had hoped to
be aloft before Bob came.
At least, so she had told herself.
But she had been watching that
sky. waiting. Her hat had blown
off on the water and her curls were
held back by narrow red ribbon
that matched her dress. Her new
fur jacket was damp. Her feet were
wet. But she thought of none of
these things. Roberts ship was AL
most in.

very exhausting. But when an easy
stroke is learned, it becomes an ex-
ercise that can be carried on for a
long time without exhaustion.
They say that even, the most
habitual slicer at golf will hook if
a tree is on his left. The same prin-
ciple applies to swimming when you
begin to learn 1.-THE harder you
try, the less successful you are.
Your nervous system and your mus
cular system must be trained before
you can become a graceful swim
mer. When you do acquire the
knack,, you can get an abundance of
healthful exercise from the sport.
The great obstacle to learning
the technique Of swimming-fear
of the water-can be overcome by
what appears to be cruel practice,
namely, throwing child into water
over its head. I can remember the
very spot on Lake Huron where my
older cousin carried me out and
dumped me in to sink or swim. After
the fear Of water is conquered,
everything else in the act Of SWIM
ming shall be added unto you.
In all other sports, or forms of
exercise, you have to support your
own body weight. In swimming the
water supports the body. This, COM
bined with the heat absorption that
the water accomplishes, makes it
possible to prolong swimming be-
yond any other form of exercise.
This may, of course, be & danger:
encouraging the swimmer to carry
his exercise beyond the point Of en-
durance.
The real disadvantage of swim
ming is the possibility Of infection
of the nose and ears, or the eyes.
Even pure water is an irritant to
the mucous membrane of the nose

things that were really lovely she
ever had owned. And now the flood
had come and probably they
couldn't be saved. But that didn't
matter. Beyond the river houses
went down the sweep of water.
She did not waken until Cor
rinne came running into the room.
Sarah Anne, wake up. It's morn
ing, and the dam just went! Didn't
YOU hear it? And Robert Kennedy
is flying around outside trying to
get your attention"
Corrinne began to wash her face
quickly. Then she rouged her pale
cheeks. Its grand of him to come
to everybody's aid. But told him
you were coming that night he took
me to dinnei. and he remembered.
That must be why he's flying
around here when there's so much
to do"
YOU'RE here!" That was a new
thought. And it wasn't worthy
one, Sarah Anne knew. But after
all, Bob had flown to Corrinne's
defense figuratively that night in
the lodge. Why would it be so un-
usual for him to fly literally to her
aid now?
She told herself that it was all
right, of course, but she did not go
near the windows, but let Corrinne
wave. When the plane circled for
the last time and flew off she put
on her red woolen dress and fur
jacket, and powdered her nose. She
put the brown hat or top of her
curls, picked up the brown pocket
book and gloves, and stuffed hand
kerchiefs int the coat pockets.
She had a feeling that she would
not see the room again.

stairs windows and breakfast was
being served cafeteria style, on the
second floor, in a study room.
The radio announcer began to
follow the flyers. He mentioned a
rescue of Robert Kennedy's. He
said that more flyers had offered
their aid, inspired by Kennedy VOL
untary services. He added that the
eastern birdman was directing the
rescue work on the roof of the can
ming plant. He was taking off three
people at a time and flying them
up to the hills to an emergency re-
lief station.
It was nearly dusk when the rain
began to slow up. The college stu
dents had been gathered into the
two highest buildings on the cam
pus. The rescue work was under
control. All day Sarah Anne had
watched Roberts ship, wondering
if he knew she was near, hoping
that he did, that perhaps that
knowledge had drawn him here.
Not that it was important. He
would have needed a danger call
anyway.
Then, at four o'clock, the radio
sent through an emergency call. A
woman had been stricken with
pneumonia as she waited for the
waters to abate so a boat could
reach the roof where she and some
neighbors were stranded.
Her fever was 104 and mounting.
Fortunately. by some strange twist
Of fate, a physician was in the

i
THE LOCAL broadcasts about
the rivers overflow, which the
radio station was sending out, wers
picked up and sent throughout the
country.
So it happened that Robert Ken
nedy, working on an altitude CAD
get until late, suddenly became
aware that the radio was talking
about a bad flood. He listened fol
a moment and was about to dial of
when he heard the name of Cor
rinne's college. He waited until the
announcer finished, then called the
local headquarters Of the broad
casting system. He knew the pub
licity director and asked for him.
rs there any danger to the col
lege students? 2"
Nothing but wet feet at the mo-
ment. The dams going fast, and
they'll feel safer away from there
for the next day or two. It's the
people across the river, in the flats,
who are trapped. Not enough boats,
aimsy houses, water coming fast"
whats the answer
"Airplanes, if enough can be
found. There a ut many private
ships and the companies need
theirs. The currents so strong the
rowboats can't hold their own, any,
way, but the ships that land on
water can pick up people and
there's tall canning factory with
a fat roof, where plane can come
in and take the others"
How soon will the water be
sweeping the houses away?"
Doing it now. Just got a re-
port"
"I'll start out right away"
"Hey, wait" the man called.
There are pilots out that way! It's
not a lark with wires falling" His
voice softened. But gosh, If you
want to go. warm up your engine.
III put il over the air. Others
should follow you."
So it happened that Sarah Anne,
alone at the window in the dormi-
tory living room, heard the mes
sage that the flyer and young So
cialite, Robert Kennedy, had volun-
teered his airplane and was hur-
rying westward to aid in the res
cue work.
She sat down on the stairs, limp
and breathlesS. Robert was coming
here. Out there, in the dark and
the wind and the danger, he was
willging swift way because lives
were endangered. Aviation was not
a game one played in the sky. 1t
was a sacred trust, to be used for
humanity.
If only she could do something,
too! IF she could atone for those
few weeks Of unnecessary risk by
being courageous. just once. She
did not think now of the doubts
which Robert Kennedy had enter
tanned about her. She knew only
that she must be worthy in his
sight.
She looked into the night. She
could not go out there. She must
wait until morning. She went back
TO the game room, but it was so
crowded that she could not find a
place to sit. so she walked down
to .Corrinne's room, undressed, took
a shower, put on her undertakings
again and curled up on the bed to
take a nap. She looked at her new
clothes and a rueful smile twisted
her lips. These were the first new

SWIMMING is the best aI-round
exercise. It's advantages are, first,
that it employs all the muscles Of
the body; Second, that the water
keeps the temperature down so that
the excessive heat generated by ex-
ercise is absorbed.
Among it's disadvantages is the
fact that it is an acquired activity.
Most animals swim naturally. Man
also would swim naturally if he re-
mained quadruped-that is, if he
were content to swim dog-fashion.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Mrs. P. H.: "I have been think
ing of taking little girl for the
summer. Her parents are very poor
and cannot get for her the foods she
should have. She has T.B. of the
bone, has worn a cast for eight
months, and is now able to walk
little without it. I have three small
children of my own and I want to be
quite sure that I would not endanger
their health in any way"
Answer: You go right ahead and
take her. That is not the kind Of tu-
berculosis that is contagious from
human to human (only tuberculosis
Of the lungs from adult to child is
contagious). And will you also al
low me to take off my hat to you?
M: care there any other causes
for refexes in the eyes besides those
listed: Bad tonsils, sinus infections,
bad teeth, excessive drinking and
smoking?"
Answer: None of the conditions
you name interfere with the normal
eye refexes. The causes Of abnormal
eye refexes is the use of morphine
or atropine, locomotor ataxia, pare
sis, iritis or brain tumor.
M. S.: ~ would appreciate any
information you can give me re-.
garding leprosy. I would like to
know the cause and if there is a
possible cure"
Answer: Leprosy is an infectious
disease Of very chronic nature, but
contrary to general belief, is not
very contagious. It affects mostly
the skin Of the face around the nose.
Sometimes the hands and feet are
affected, producing a nodular swell
ing. In another form the nerves are
involved. Treatment is by chaul-
moogra oil, which mitigates the
symptoms very considerably.
L. j. R.: "Does the smoking proc
ess kill the .trichinae in bologna
sausage, mettwurst or braunsch-
weiger, without further preparation
at home?"1
Answer: No.

FIGURES ABOUT TOTAL DEBT

1t is something of surprise to be told
that the total debt of the country, govern
mental and private, in 1887 was about the
same that it was in 1929, but this fact is
revealed by an analysis made by the
Twentieth Century Fund. While the total,
$250, 0OO, 10000 remained about the
same, there was shift in who owed the
debt.
In 1912, for example, the Federal,
State and local debt was less than $5,00O,-
900, 900, or about $50 per capita. BY 1882,
this figure had jumped to $4,000, 00O,-
600, or per capita of S314. This total
was divided as follows: Federal $21,-
834, 565, 900; State, 1920, $3.50 and
local, $15,215 ,881, 900.
BY 1897, the total public debt was
$40, $40, 533. 900, or a per capita of 1888.
During this period, the figures show, that
the Federal debt increased SIS, 1000, 000,-
600, that State debts remained about the
same and local governmental debts de-
creased by more than $4,000. 10000, 900.
1t is interesting to note that while the
gross amount of Understanding Federal
securities almost doubled between 1880
and 1888, the Federal interest charge in
creased only fifty per cent. This was due
to reduced rates of interest which have al
so enabled State and local governments to
save money on the carrying charge of their
debts
There are many people in Key West
who are greatly concerned over the mount
ing Federal debt. This apprehension, it
appears, made itself felt in Congress and
was particularly evident when the House
declined to take up the so-called Lending
Plan of the President

WHERE TO BUY

The smart guy and the shortsighted
merchant soon fall victim to their own
Wiles They outsmart themselves when
they attempt to slip over fast one on
customer. These remarks arise out of two
stories that have just been called to atten-
ton of TIE Citizen by readers
One woman relates that she recently
saw advertised window curtains at 80 cents
pair during sale at one of the large
Miami department stores. The advertise
ment stated that the curtains regularly
sold at S1.25 pair. This woman thought
them good bargain, but did not send in
an order until she learned Key West
merchant had similar curtains of the same
material at so cents pair. Then she or
dered two pairs from the Miami store to
be delivered, parcel post collect. When
she received the curtains she discovered
they were inferior to those she could have
gotten in Key West. After she paid the
parcel post charges she found she had not
saved money by dealing with Miami
firm, and had been given an article of ques-
tionable value.
A man wanted to buy some seat
covers for his car. He was unable to find
what he wanted in Key West at the price
advertised by we'll known automobile
accessory shop in Miami. He ordered the
seat covers from the Miami shop. What
he got was shoddy material, covers that
did not meet the specifications for.the seats
of his car and in every respect the reverse
of the advertised goods.
Naturally these two citizens Of Key
West swear they will never again order
anything from Miami stores. They are
intelligent citizens They have bought
goods in every section of the country.
They know values and the value of a dol
lar. They resent being "gypped" by mer-
chants who think that because customer
lives in Key West he will accept any,
thing.
The moral of this little editorial is
that, all things being considered, it is best
to buy in Key West. The customer may
see and feel what he is. buying. He has
direct redress from the merchant if what
he buys is not up to snuff.
Key West merchants are constantly
improving their stocks, striving to improve
their stores and their sales forces, and con-
stantly advertising good merchandise at
low cost. They contribute directly and in
directly to the support of our Key West
municipal services and civic enterprises.
They live here and employ local men and
women in their stores. They deserve Key
West support-and should get it when
their prices and goods are right.

Why be Ham in Carving One?
Expert Shows Easy, Modern Way

If they smoker when you start
70 carve, you'll be comforted by
these kind words from Max o.
Cullen, carving authority. Its
easy to learn the right way, and
the right way is the easy way"
says Cullen, who is shown at the
right explaining to Pete Smith,
producer Of motion picture shorts
bearing his name, and Ann Nor
riss, M-G-M player, the funda-
rnentals of carving a ham, during
the recent filming of Culinary
Carving" an educational short in
which Cullen was featured.
Proper tools and a sharp knife
are of first Importance, says the
expert. Then you can proceed with
confidence, if you win follow his
simple directions as shown by the
diagrams and instructions below.
1. Place ham with fat side up,
shank end to carver's right. Cut
two or three slices parallel to the
length Of the ham from the
smaller meaty section.
2. Turn the ham so that it rests
on the cut surface. Holding firmly
with the fork, cut 4 small wedge
shaped piece from the shank end.
Then proceed to cut thin slices
down to the leg bone until the
aitch bone is reached.
3. With the fork still in place,
release the slices by running the
knife along the bone and at right
angles to the slices. For additional
servings, turn and carve other
side Of ham.
4. If more servings are re-
quired, the ham is turned back
in its original position on the plat
ter with the fat side up and the
slices are carved at right angles
to the bone. These slices are not
so large as those from the cushion
section, but they make attractivc
servings for second helpings.
