In The Local Theaters
STATE

Et seems funny but theatergoers of this vicinity certainly know where to see the biggest and best shows in ,own. Over the week end the Warner Bros. State theater was Jam med to capacity at all times as gay crowds came from everywhere to see Dodge City" the spectacular epic in technicolor which has the whole town talking.
 The seating capacity of the Strand was combined with that of the Stote in order to accommodate the thousands who wanted to see this great show. Arrangements for the a special showing at the Strand were made for one day only so those who haven't viewed it may do so by attending the State today. Remember today is your last oppor- tunity as performances this evening conclude itc engagement.
 Errol Flynn in the leading role as the hero again turns in bril- liant performance as an Irish sold- ier-of fortune who had become Texas cowboy after fighting for the South in the Civil War. Olivia De- Havilland again cast in the roman tic lead opposite Flynn also lives up to her previous brilliant charac- teriZationS. Ann Sheridan, the 'oomph' girl of Dodge City is seen as dance hall queen if there is any doubt as to what 'oomph' means. just see her performance in this production.
 Briefly the story concerns the war to the death between Flynn and the murderous gang of gun fighters who have been in control of the town of Dodge City until his arrival, and it is replete with hair raising incidents.
 Thrilling and breath-taking scenes of the production include the stam- pede of big herd of longhorns, a brawl involving more than a hun dred men, and tense and sus- penseful gun battle between Flynn and the gun-fghters.
 Others notables in the cast are Bruce Cabot, Frank McHugh, Alan Hale, John Litel and Quinn Big Boy" Williams among others.
 On the same show is Charlie Rug gles in Sudden Monday" a gay story of a family who gets rich over night as the result sweep stakes.
 The next big attraction coming to the State will be Midnight with Don Ameche and Claudette Colbert in the leads; also Sylvia Sydney in "One Third of a Nation"

DISSIPATION, HESITATION AND
 RESIGNATION

Even old age is curable if taken in time. Some medical humorist, Oliver Wendell Holmes, perhaps, suggested that the treatment should begin fifty years before you are born. In actual practice 1t is pretty difficult to persuade victims of pre- mature old age to begin treatment as early as five or ten years after old age sets in. The great trouble is we can't size up an individual or make an examination or apply test which will enable us to say the in- dividual is young today but is be- ginning to get old tomorrow or next week. Or we might advance a fairly sound opinion to that effect, but it wouldn't help matters, for the old geezer could probably buy equally authoritative assurance from plenty of other doctors that he is as young as most men of 9-10ths his age.
 Roughly, and we have got to be rough if we're going to get any, where with this problem, old age, arteriosclerosis, degeneration, de- cline, senility, the beginning of the end, progresses through three stages. First the stage of dissipation when

o. What is the best method of drying hair when it is Shampooed at home?
 A. After giving your hair final rinse, rub briskly with a towel, both the hair and the scalp. While the hair is still wet, massage the scalp, parting the hair and pressing the finger tips into the skin. This is very stimulating to the growth of new hair. If possible dry the hair in the open air and sunshine, or in the winter at a sunny window

REPORTS BROTHER
HAS DISAPPEARED
DEPUTY AT MARATHON RE.
PORTS MATTER TO
SHERIFF HERE

w. A. Parrish, deputy sheriff
at Marathon, phoned the office
of the sheriff this morning adj
vising that he had been ap-
preached by man named
Strickland who reported the dis.
appearance of his brother, John
Rubin Strickland, several weeks
ago.
Judge Raymond Lord was ad.
vised of the report and the sup
position on the part of the
brother that there was the pos.
sibility of the body of the partly
|decomposed man found or
Molasses Key last Friday night
might be that of the missing
Strickland.
However as the missing man is
white, and the body found last
Friday was positively identified
as Henderson Butler, coloreo
fisherman missing for month
there is no chance of there hav-
ing been a mistake in the identi-
fication.
Deputy Parrish advised the of
flee of the sheriff that he woulc
gather details of the missing
Strickland man, and would in al
probability come to Key West
this evening and the brother who
made the inquiry will probably
accompany him.

CORRECTION OF
MANY PREMISES
WITH SHELTERS

AS INSPECTORS: 4.os4 PREM
Uses INSPECTED: FISH IN
4ss CISTERNS

With the first round of inspec-
ton of Key West for disease
bearing mosquitoes completed
ll% of corrections of total num-
Der of premises inspected were
reported by U. S. Public Health
Mosquito Division in the city for
three months work.
Four thousand and eighty-four
premises were inspected with l.
SAL premises found breeding mos
quitoes. The number of possible
mosquito breeding containers
found was 1885, but of these
only 1889 were found actually
breeding. The others, however
may breed mosquitoes when
conditions are favorable. 460
corrections were made in prem
ises inspected. In 488 cisterns to
date top-feeding minnows have
been placed to inspect. In the
second round oil will be sprayed
on water surfaces where fish
can not be used.
A dozen Key West men have
been employed as inspectors by
the U.S.P.H.S. group for the
duration of the activities here
and are being trained as domes-
tic mosquito control inspectors.
Last night as part of their train
ing they were given talk on the
history of yellow fever control
activities by Jr. Entomologist F
w. Fisk and four reels on mos
quito habits were shown.

SPONCERS AWAIT
BETTER WEATHER
HIGH WINDS HINDER OPERA
TIONS OF SPONG-
ING FLEET

Often in the past few weeks
questions have been asked like
this, when are sponge sales 60
ing to begin?", and, The Citizen
has replied just as soon as the
boats return with their catches,
and place them on the dock for
the buyers.
AS a matter of fact there have
been but few offerings placed on
the municipal dock in several
weeks, and the prospects of quick
return of the sponging fleet has
been hindered by wind and mud
dy waters.
Numbers of vessels have been
berthed at points along the Keys,
all of the captains awaiting abate-
ment of the high winds and the
time when the water will be
clear enough to start operations,
but even as late as last Sunday
members of crews visiting their
families stated that weather con-
ditions are bad.
The last sale which was held
on the municipal dock consisted
of 102 punches of yellows, which
sold for 1871, 81 punches OF
wool bringing a price of $70.52,
and nine punches of grass selling
for $1.36-making a total OF
$105.59.

CONTINUES WORK
OF EIKLOR CASE
COUNTY SOLICITOR HAS RE-
CEIVED MOST OF NECES-
SARY TESTIMONY

County Solicitor Allan B.
Cleare, Jr., told The Citizen to-
day that he had received most all
of the testimony given before the
coroner's jury in the investigation
of the death of Alice EiklOr, and
expected the balance this after
noon.
When all the evidence given
at the hearing is assembled, Mr..
Cleare said, he will give the mat
ter intensive study, at the con-
clusion of which he will make
an announcement as to whether
or not any further steps will be
taken in the investigation.
In the event that he decides
to pursue the inquiries, he said he
will again summon the witnesses
at the inquest, and have their tes-
timony again recorded. If it is
considered necessary after that
he will take whatever legal steps
are required.

BUSINESS IS
SHOWN TOE
ON INCREASE
JUDGED BY PAYMENT OF
BENEFITS; MONROE CoUN.
TY HAD ONLY FORTY-NINE
CLAIMS

Payment of benefits under the
provisions of the Unemployment
Compensation Law in Florida is
proving an accurate barometer of
business, according to VIM. v.
Little, of the Key West office of
the State Employment Service.
I'm localities where few claims
for benefits are being filed, bust
ness conditions, as a whole, are
above the average, Mr.. Little
said, land in localities where a
great number are being filed, it
has been the experience of other
states that business conditions in
those localities are below nor
NAL.
by using benefit payments as
a basis for determining business
conditions we find Monroe Coun-
ty in a very favorable position, as
only 40 claims have been filed by
residents of this county covering
the month of January.
''In fact the state as a whole
has a record that compares fav-
orably with that of other states.
One of the reasons is that at this
time of the year employment is at
its peak. At the same time we
do not expect any such rush for
benefits as has occurred in other
states, for all of the statistics
gathered by the Tallahassee Of
flee in the last year and a half in
dicates that Florida has passed
the one season STAGE.
Mr.. Little also reported that
Florida has accepted 1895 initial
claims and 6670 continued claims
from other states. In these cases
Florida acts as the agent for the
liable state, the applicant being
allowed to file his claim and re-
port weekly to a Florida State
Employment Service office. His
benefit check is mailed direct to
him from the liable. state.

Monthly Practice; Theo-
retical Attack Begins
Shortly; Practice Gun
merry

Planes of Patrol Wing Five
stationed here for Caribbean
maneuvers and war games last
night practiced night flying.
Commander Virgil c. Griffin told
The Citizen today. in regular
monthly practice.
This is the first night trip tax
en- by the planes. Another group
will practice tonight. and third
group tomorrow night. Purpose
of the flying is partly to acquaint
pilots with the ground area as i.
appears at night.
Aboard the planes are search
lights to spot the surface of the
ocean if it cannot be seen read
lily from the air There are also
buoy lights at the anchorage to
aid the navigators. Pilots found
it unnecessary to use the planes
searchlights last night.
Regarding the fleet problem,
we have just received orders from
the War Department not to issue
any information connected with
it,, Commander Griffin said
The problem of attack by a black
fleet on the white fleet, one wing
of which is stationed at Key
West, is expected to start Feb
ruary Is, according to releases
from Washington. 1t will involve
theoretical defense of the Panama
Canal, Gulf Coast and Puerto
Rican bases. Emphasis on de-
Tense of the Canal is important
in that the passage must be used
for quick relay of ships from the
west coast to the east coast when
needed, If the Canal were
bombed it would nceeSsitate a
voyage around The Horn. De-
Tense tactics theoretically will
keepSenemy ships and planes l.
900 miles off the Cuban coast.
In the area north, northwest
and northeast of Key West Island
for the past month the planes
have been employed in gunnery
practice, including machine gun
ming and bombing.
Another plane arrived to join
the group leaving Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, at 7:30 p. m. and arriving
here o'clock yesterday after
noon. Previously there were but
II planes here. This is the 18th
and completes the two squad

rival in Key West last evening
for visit of few days.
Mr.. Keller is nationally

thing he did on his arrival was
to phone in a swell Key West
fishing yarn he heard last night,
to the Journal.
Keller shines especially in golf
tournaments where his analytic
style is much appreciated by his
readers. He has followed Bobby
Jones, Dorothy Kirby and the
other golfing big names for many
years.
