No. 1 Ballerina Wants To Be Actress With No Dance Parts
Harder to Work Before Cameras Than for Kings
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Hollywood - Trina Baronova, who at 20 has become probably the worlds greatest ballerina, is a movie actress today and would like very much to remain one.
 T want to be a dramatic actress" she sighed, easing her short tulle skirt into one chair and putting her tired feet on another, Not a danc- ing one"
 A woman came over to Mile. Bar onova and said, You have an hour The girls feet are so hot they are putting them in ice water. Would you like some ice water?" The bal- lerina said no, but she united the strings of her slippers and removed them gingerly. On both heels were large, broken blisters. l wondered how a toe dancer gets blisters on her heels, but didn't ask.
 She and a corps de ballet which had been assembled right here in Hollywood had been dancing all day for a sequence in the Imperial Palace at Vienna. The picture Is "Florian,' and the emperor is Reg inald Owen in a rubber nose and some Franz Josef shrubbery. The dancer has given command per- formances before British, Romanian and Danish rolalty, but this one Is the toughest.

THE NATION is NOT SAFE

With European nations in warfare let
us be thankful that the people of this
country face no such immediate perils
Let us realize, none-the-less, that the
future may present such threat to this
nation. Let us not assume that we are i'm
mune and that no nation can successfully
attack our shores.
Unfortunately, we cannot conclude
that no nation would dare attack us if we
do not attack. Defenseless America would
be quick prey of certain powers who covet
the wealth that nature has given us. There
is no moral principle to restrain nations
like Germany, Italy and Japan from using
war to secure booty.
Regardless of what the moralists pro-
claim the only defense for any nation,
against such free-booters, is armed
strength. China, Ethiopia and Czech
oslovakia attest the fact and illustrate the
tactics of aggressors.

KEY WEST MOTIF

Cities, large and small, are subject to
curious epidemic. 1t might be called the
Exposition Fever" Each city, having
broken out in rash of artificial publicity,
pumped up by ardent promoters who sud-
denly love the city-for price-it be-
comes hypnotiZed by some Whalen, or
Jones, or Smith and embarks upon a brief
spasm of crowded hotels and advertising
columns and then, SOLDERING with dismay
it proceeds to figure up the deficits,
and is from then, henceforth, immune.
But, cities are like the people of
whom they are composed. Seldom do they
learn from the experience of others; nor
does what they learn make a very lasting
impression.
So, with the example of the grief that
is being experienced by New York and San
Francisco before us, it would be a very
good time for Key West to "highly re-
solve" as the phrase goes, that in the
future all glittering schemes would be
carefully scrutinized and all gift horses
carefully examined for dental defects.
This is not to say that Key West does
not need attractions. 1t certainly does
need them. But the main advantage that
Key West has over all other cities on the
routes that tourists travel, is the fact that
Key West is different. 1t will only be the
cheapest and least worthwhile type of
visitor that will be attracted to Key West
by the same sort of cheap carnival, or arti-
ficially stimulated celebration that they
can find in every other town along the
route.
1t is true that we need amusement for
our young people. It is also true that the
money drained out of Key West by skillful
promoters would supply our young people
with wholesome amusement parks, under
home management, amusements that would
be an inducement to travellers to bring their
children here, instead of avoiding place
where the gaudy type of carnival with it's
attendant camp followers, eager to do any
thing for money except earn it, was domi-
nant feature in the municipal landscape.
The type of attraction that will be
most profitable for Key West, is native
Key West attraction sponsored and carried
. out by Key West talent.
Just as the guest appreciates the de-
licious home produced foods we serve them
far more than they would table furnished
with cheap canned goods from some dis
tant source, so would they appreciate the
hospitable, native type of entertainment,
far above anything that would come in

A KEY WESTER RAMBLES
ABOUT THE COUNTRY: New

Jersey: If Key West were as
close to New York City as cities
on the Jersey summer vacation
coast are, the Overseas Highway
would witness a solid line of cars,
one behind the othen in many
places stopped for miles stretch
ing from New York to coast
cities as far away as 70 miles.
Everyone who can afford it gets
out of New York on. the week
end to spend the time at the sea-
shore. The water there during
the summer is very cold. There
are a number of rivers nearby on
which summer camps with cabins
built of pine logs, stained in
walnut with bright red touches
to brighten them up, have sprung
up and are drawing their crowds.
The water in these rivers. semi
salty, is much warmer. The sea-
son for New Jersey is very short,
from just before July 4 to Labor
Day. Ancestry of settlers along
the coast are reminiscent of Key
West Sea Captain ancestry. Gov
ernments there are in county,
city and boros, with the boros a
small town. In the boros many
of the citizens take an active
part in demanding things for
their town. Members of the
council are usually influential
citizens who draw little to no
salaries, but who take the jobs
because of the contacts and bust
ness opportunities it gives them.
There is probably very little
graft among the small town
councilmen. Jersey has just
voted in a bill allowing racing.
Some years ago big graft scan
dial caused a ban to be placed on
racing. Now it is brought back
as stimulus to the tourist trade,
which might go to Saratoga
above New York City or to New
England Race Tracks. The ambi-
ton of most Jerseyians is to
spend summer in Jersey and WIN
ter in Florida, but it is a little
difficult to get good jobs in Flor
ida, so they stay in Jersey. On
the seashore there it is very cold
during the winter. Jerseyians

Former President Woodrow Wilson
while discussing warfare said that major
modern war was a matter of five MS
men, money, materials, morale and mobil-
ization. II is hard to say which is the most
important, it has been asked. This column
would say it is money" since money will
acquire most of the others. In this con-
nection Napoleon's answer is revealing.

were the three most necessary things in

Editor, The Citizen:
This is a letter written, be-
cause in your town / found
something that is quite uncom-
mon these days; and that is true
hospitality.
On Thursday. Aug. "a, / visited
Key West to call on Hilaris
Ramos. 1t was my intention to
solicit business from Mr.. Ramos
and then get in a days fishing.
I saw MIR. Ramos, conducted my
business and asked him regard
ing the best means of arranging
a fishing trip. Incidentally there
were three in my party. BY Gus
tom MIR. Ramos should have been
my guest" But mol Instead my
party of three became the guests
of Mr.. Ramos. 1t was he that
made all arrangements, and as
sumed all responsibility. We
went on the boat of Capt. Frank
Harris and spent a day fishing.
From the fisherman's angle the
day was most successful. We
had a good catch. From the
humans angle we had a mar
velous day. Our host, the cap
tain and his mate could not do
enough to make sure we were
comfortable and had a good day.
At the completion of the fishing
we went to the captains house
and cooked a fish supper. Rather,
Mr.. Ramos cooked it. Now
whether it was the cooking or
the fish, / don't know, but the
taste was superb. However, I'm
straying from the point. Key
West has not only good fishing,
but should be known as a spot
where the people are outstanding
as a group who offer their guests
and towns visitors the utmost
courtesy and hospitality. I. for
one, shall be glad to recommend
your town and people to one

AS boys and girls leave for
schools and colleges. homes are
made lonely and the young
people face inconsistencies and
separation from the guiding
influence of home.
The affectionate, sympathetic
understanding present in home
life is difficult to maintain by
letters, but by telephone, home
ties can be kept alive and warm.
Telephone visits at regular in
tervals with children away at
school are as intimate as
though the children were at
home with you. They'll be hap
pier, and do better work. And
what a joy these inexpensive
voice-visits will be to you.
The best plan is to arrange
for your boy or girl to call

walls at a particular time. Then
by using Station = to Station
service after 7 p. M. or at any
time on Sundays, you can talk
100 miles for Csc, 200 miles
CSC, and greater distances at
correspondingly low cost.

DON'T WORRY; USE COAL FOR GAS!

For the benefit of those who are
worrying lest the worlds supply of gaso-
line runs low we call attention to an ex-
pertinent in Chicago, in which liquid coal
was used to drive a standard automobile
without changing its carburetion system.
Liquid coal, we are advised, is COM
posed of so per cent range oil, very light
fuel, 10 per cent petroleum for easy start
ing, secret chemical and 80 per cent pull
verified coal. 1t can be manufactured
much cheaper than gasoline.
Now, that's settled and the average
motofist can ride around to the filling
station, fill up the tank with gasoline and
take ride without concern lest the auto
mobiles of the world come to stop for
lack of fuel.

Poland has gone through four his

fifth, but perhaps not final partition. A
nation that has survived so many assaults
on IFS national existence, that came to life
more than hundred years after its last
supposed extinction, seems marked by des-
tiny for survival. The last chapter in its
history will be a chapter of triumph.

THAT STORY ABOUT the SUBJ

THAT STORY ABOUT the sub
marine seen first just off the Sea
Buoy at the sea entrance of the
ship channel into Key West ap-
pears to be no fake. The men,
bers of the Pilot Boat Three,
waiting for the Norwegian tank
er, "Raila" to approach saw the
subs riding lights in the dark
ness of early morning. When
dawn broke they saw it clearly
and tried to approach nearer, but
it proceeded away "about two
feet to our one". The Pilot is
said to make 20 m.p.h. so that
was a fast sub.
AN AIR OF SECRECY hangs
over the matter. Members of the
Raila do not give positive evil
dence that the vessel seen was a
submarine. That can be ac-
counted for. No captain in such
position would want to i'm
plicate his ship in foreign mat
tiers during the major European
war now raging. Even the local
pilots were loathe to give out in
formation, but it is evident that
the sub was seen clearly from the
bridge of the Raila. First re-
ports had it that the Raila was a
French tanker, but it is a Nor
wegian ship which is in port
awaiting orders due to the Euro
pean war. Key Westers will re-

August was banner month
with the city in collection of de-
linquent taxes and the total was
$4,000. AS result the city's
employees are being paid two
months delinquent salary at once
today, according to Ross C. Saw
yer, president of the council.
Ordinarily the city's collection of
delinquent taxes amounts to
about $4,000 during August in
Delinquent payments. The jump
to $4,000 is attributed to the
recent action of the legislature,
which removed all penalties and
interest on delinquent taxes for
a period which ended last Sat-
urday. BY taking advantage of
this privilege large number OF
taxpayers on the delinquent list
saved quite a substantial sum by
paying up during that time.
