Southern Policy

An interesting discussion Of
Southern Policy on the anti-mar-
/ riage laws between the races has
appeared in the Christian Advocate,
a white periodical, by Rolfe Lanier
Hunt, Of Louise, Miss, according to
a reprint III the National Baptist
/ Voice.
| The substance of the discussion
| Is that while laws forbid marriage
| between the races in The South, race
mixing has gone forward in that
section at greater pace than in
| states which sanction intermarriage.
| So the writer concludes that since
| the principle Of racial integrity is
what the South seeks to protect, pro-
/ lection Of that principle would be
more certain, according to actual
statistics, if marriage between white
and colored were permitted by law.
Says Mr.. Hunt: ITO permit a man
to father d child without response
bility for his act Of procreation
makes for promiscuity and for mis-
cegenation. To require the father
to assist in support of his child and
his mother makes for racial integ-
/ rity. The marriage code of the
, Southern states should, therefore,
| be revised to impose such response
/ bility. The granting OF licenses for
marriage between the races might
result in some marriages between
! the races, but the amount Of mixing
Of bloods would be vastly decreased. :"
At least the approach is suggested
/ for justice between the races where
rank prejudice has long ruled SUI
preme.

VETERAN STATUS
HELPS DION in
P. @. POSITION
FINAL RATING OF QUALIFI-
CATIONS FOR PoSTMAS-
TERSHIP INCREASED FIVE
PERCENT
1tWashington Correspondent o
The Key West Citizen)

W The Key West Citizen)
WASHINGTON, D. c., March
10.-Fred j. Dion has a distinct
advantage over the other two
candidates for the job as regular
postmaster at Key West, officials
of the Civil Service Commission
said today.
This advantage results from
the fact that Dion's application
for veterans preference has been
approved by the Commission,
automatically increasing the final
rating of his qualifications by
five percent.
Postmaster Sam E. Harris and
Frank Delaney will have to de-
pend on their regular qualifica-
tions to get the job, plus the
standing obtained in the exam
nation.
There is one peculiar feature
about the Key West competition.
Each candidate will eventually be
certified to the Post Office De-
partment as a ranking" candi-
date, because there are only
three candidates and the law re-
quireS that the Civil Service
Commission send the Post Office
Department a list of at least three
ranking candidates.
The final check on the Key
West candidates will be made by
a field examiner of the Civil
Service Commission, who will be
detailed to Key West to talk with
the candidates and other Key
West citizens regarding the ap-
plicants' qualifications.

VARIOUS KNOCKS
KEY WEST BOOKLET BEING
SENT OUT PROVES TO BE
VERY RESTING IN
MANY CASES

Zone of thes days our visitors
returning home from Key West
will refute the low grade preva-
ricators along the highways to the
mainland, and we will hear no
more of the stories which are
being told to discourage intend
ing travellers to Key West, said
the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce this morning.
However, cars are still arriv-
ing with supplies of provisions
and water, and with visitors in
dignant at having been imposed
upon. But we also have loyal
friends wherever the intelligence
prevails. Here is a note from the
genial secretary of the Eustis
Chamber of Commerce, which
reads:
eve are down to six folders
of Key West, which you so kind
ly sent to us recently. These
folders are very popular. Many
of our folk, tourists, have come
down to your city, not minding
the dollar toll on the Keys for
their car.
L have asked several of them
upon their return what they
thought of Key West, and the
response is uniform. Very nice,
well worth the trip and we we're
surprised there were so few mos
quitos. Can you let us have
some more of those folders,
thanks.' Fl =
And, of course, Mr.. Singleton
replied, "as soon as our fellow
citizens make it possible, Eustis
will have a supply of folders.

ON
CANAL PROJECT
ENCOURAGING
UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT
GIVEN PROJECT BY MAI.
GENERAL MARKHAM. CHIEF
OF ENGINEERS

JACKSONVILLE, March TO-
FNS) Advocates of the Cross
State canal project here have
been tremendously cheered late
ly by the encouraging reports
from Washington where the
House Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee has been holding hearings
on the waterway.
Of particular interest was the
unqualified endorsement given
the project by Maj. Gen. E. M.
Markham, former chief of Army
Engineers, who stated that the
canal had more merit now than
when he first recommended it
two years ago. "It will be the
grandest canal on the face of the
globe" he said, basing his asser-
ton on the large increase in Gulf
traffic since 1885.
In his defense of the water
way, Markham scoffed at the
possibility of damage to Florida's
underground water supply, de-
MED vigorously that the canal
would be hazardous to ships, and
emphasized strongly the import
ance of the channel to national
defense. --y..s-
Three other experts, also tes-
tifying before the committee,
added their support to the canal
project. They were Lieut..
Brehen Somervell, former con-
struction head of the waterway;
Sidney Paige, former official OF
the geological survey and now a
War Department geologiSt; and
Malcolm PRIME, well known geo.
logist and waterworks engineer
of New York. 3 y
All three Witnesses stated that
the canal definitely would not
cause damage to underground
water supplies, nor harm the re-
nowned Silver Springs, resort
near the projected line of the
canal.
Somervell pointed to greatly
increased traffic in the Gulf OF
Mexico as proof that the water
way was economically justified,
and urged resumption of work as
quickly and as efficiently as pos
Sible.

ISLAND CITY
BONEFISHINC
IN LIMELICHT
MORE TAKING TO SPORT:
FISH CAUGHT ON FLATS:
SHRIMP. CRABS. SMALL
FISH USED AS BAIT

Famous for it's deepsea and
tarpon fishing. Key West is now
coming into prominence as
bonefishing location.
Far into the bay and between
the keys throughout the Florida
keys, hundreds of deep. blue
channels cut sharply through
miles of long mud flats, which at
low tide rise out of water and
wave short lengths of seagrass
while herons wade over them
seeking out fish and crabs for
food.
At low tide bonefiSh remain in
the deep channels and cannot be
caught, but at high tide when the
water rises from three to four
feet from the channels flooding
the flats, the long silver bone
fish, sportiest fighter for its
size and weight anywhere, swims
up and over the flats. There they
may be found standing on their
heads with their tails waving
above the water and feeding on
the crabs and small fish ION the
flats. -
Casting for them the angler
approaches very quietly, usually
with oars, and casts live small
fish or shrimp just ahead of
where they are feeding, AS the
bonefish work up one will event
ually grab the bait, and from
then on there will be action with
sweeping runs and spraying wa
ter. AS the flats have only three
feet of water over them the bone
fish cannot sound and must make
the runs to either side or straight
away. Now bonefish has plenty
of energy and such fuss and
commotion and shrieking reels
will occur that the angler has
rightly dubbed the sport one of
the greater delights of salt water
angling.
Bonefish are also known as
Lady-fish, Macabi Banana-fish,
Sanducha, according to which To-
cality they are fished for. The
worlds record caught on fishing
tackle was a 1884 FOUNDER. Nine
pound fish have been caught this
year on the mud flats of the
Keys.
Other Fish Catches
A nice varied catch was made
by VIM. and Melvin Lanphar, and
Dale Morrow of Detroit, and H.
Gutmann, East Orange, N. j.,
fishing aboard the Lucky Strike,
with Capt. Henry Weatherford.
The catch consisted of albacore,
barracuda. mackerel, bonito, king
fish and dolphin.
| J. A. Perry of Chicago, fishing
with Capt. Veral Roberts aboard
the Lii Dot, reported much the
same with bonito, dolphin, king
fish, albacore and mackerel.
