Manners
Dear Cynthia: So the old, old
argument is on again, mean the
one that has men on one side ac-
cusing women Of being selfish and
vain crestures-and women on the
other hand retaliating by declaring
men and boys to be ill-mannered
and inconsiderate.
Now the average intelligent per-
son will dismiss these arguments
as silly and waste of time. but
once In a while some opinionated
debater goes too far and feel that
the downright unfair and ignorant
arguments they present should be
answered. 1t is not fair to either
women or men to let some of these
silly statements 60 unchallenged.
Recently some mother comment
ed on the bad manners of all
young boys. When she made that
sweeping statement she went too
far for all young boys are not ILL.,
In reply mother of four sons
came back with the declaration
that girls were far sillier than boys
vain and selfish also. That, too,
WAS 4 sweeping statement. Why
adults with supposed intelligence
can talk like that Is beyond me.
Girls are no better than boys
and boys are no better than girls.
masculine traits and char
acteristics are irritating. just as
are certain feminine ones. Did
you ever get into a crowded bus
and hear two women jabber con-
stantly-or did you ever listen to
a noisy crowd of uncouth men who
got satisfaction In voicing their
of women? All of
these persons are bores-it makes
no difference whether they are men
or women-they are tiresome and

every extra cent you can lay your
hands on 10 give them what you
think they have right to have.
Therefore, in calculating how
much money you'll need to bring
up your children after your di-
vorce, you should figure to the last
ice cream cone what is their due
for being born to their particular
father-but you probably won't.
This may be because you
don't want to fleece your hus-
band; but mort likely it's be-
cause YOU have no conception
of what the expense of children
actually is.
When your husband was the head
of the family, he may have given
you an allowance - which you
thought you kept within-for their
clothes, pocket money, medicines
and pleasures.
But. be honest-did YOU paw
for the popcorn and pop when
You all stopped at roadside
stand on a hot summers day,
or did Daddy pull dollar from
his billfold and kiss it goodbye?
If Johnny had an appendix OPP
Grafton, didn't your husband agree,
like a gentleman, that the price
couldn't be met out of the usual
quota for doctors; and you let the
bill run until you could both save
enough to pay it?
From now on any allowance you
get for the children's expenses will
really have to cover their expenses:
you'll have to meet all emergency
treats as well as operations.
You'll be the one to take
them to the movies nine
tenths of the year, you'll meet
the extras on the grocer's bill
when they invite the neighbor-
hood in for gingerale and cook
les, and you'll pay for the new
pair of OvershOeS when one of
the old pair gets lost.
Don't forget these items when
you're figuring what you'll need
for your children's support.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
AND BATTERY BY JOSEPH
CAMPO. WHO WAS ARREST
ED BY LAW OFFICER

Yesterday afternoon there was
tried in police court Joseph Cam
pc, charged with resisting an of
ficer and operating a bicycle
without a light. On the first
charge he was fined two dollars
and on the second, Judge Aqui-
limo Lopez fined him one dollar.
Tuesday night at 1915 o'clock,
Officers w. F. Collins and Myrt-
land Gates, of the Key West Po-
lice Department, were checking
on riders of bicycles operating
without lights, and Campo was
encountered at the corner OF
Windsor Lane and Olivia streets.
He was riding his wheel without
light and Officer Collins ordered
him to stop.
Campo was ordered to come
down to police court the follow
ing afternoon for hearing. The
arrested rider declared he would
not, reported Officer Gates, who
was a witness to the proceedings.
Officer Gates also stated that
Campo was treated with the ut
most consideration by Officer
Collins.
Campo insisted he was not GO
ing to report to the police court,
and, mounting his wheel, started
to ride away. He was stopped by
Officer Collins and when the BIZ
cycle was brought to a halt Campo
made a swing at Collins, who
grabbed his hand and slapped his
face, advising him at the same
time that that was not the right
thing to do. ..
Campo was released a short
time later and this afternoon Of
ficer Collins is to be given a
hearing before Peace Justice En-
rique Esquinaldo, Jr., charged

TOXIC, Aug. Contrasting
yesterday reports that Japan
would conduct campaign of ig-
norance of European alliance
movements and preparations for
war-comes reports today that
public reaction has set in against
the German Russian treaty of
non-aggression.
Feeling is strong today against
the Germans and considerably
less talk of anti-British nature is
heard on the streets of this capt.
tai.
1t is entirely within the realm
of possibility that steps will be
taken, according to far-Eastern
experts, to patch up differences
with England and the United
States in anticipation of the day
when Japan might declare war
on Russia over difficulties along
the Mongolian border.

Legion Would Have Streets
And Yards Cleaned Before
Opening OF Tourist Season
Organization Also Goes
On Record As Opposing
Increase In Highway
Tolls

Voting approval of citY-wide
cleanup project. Arthur Sawyer
Post No. 20. the American Legion
last night also went on record as
opposing the proposed increase
in highway tolls. recommending
the resembling of the toll-raising
resolution and approving the
municipal beach and recreational
field projects.
Vice Commander T. A. Woody
was named by Commander w. j.
Schoneck as chairman of a COM
mittee to interview officials of
the city, county and WPA to de-
termine the feasibility and the
probable cost of a campaign to
clear the streets, yards parks
and vacant lots before the OPEN
ing of the winter tourist season.
"The American Legion believes
that a successful cleanup camp
align viii react to the great bene-
fit of the entire city,, Vice Com
mander Woody declared. Eve
plan to investigate the idea and
to sponsor proper project along
this line. 1t is possible we may
get the cooperation of other
civic, patriotic and social organi-
cations and in that way do a
complete and satisfying job.
In the resolution passed by the
post condemning the action of
Overseas Road and Toll Bridge
District in increasing the high
way tolls, the Legionnaires set
forth that the higher charges
would react against the posts
effort to bring the 1941 state con-
vention of the American Legion
to Key West.
1t was stated that one of the
main objections many Legion
naires have to coming to Key
West is the expense involved.
Arthur Sawyer Post believes an
increase in tolls will simply in
crease the posts burden in bring
ing the convention here.
City and county officials of the
WPA were lauded for their eff
forts to create projects for pro-
viding the city with an adequate
bathing beach and fishing pier
east of Bertha Street on Roose-
welt boulevard. and for base
ball and athletic field on city
property near the incinator. The
Post voted to cooperate in every
possible way in attaining these
improvements.
