Nothing has convinced the people of
Key West of the need of coming law
more than the erection of little hut on
Duval street opposite the La Concha hotel,
one of Key Vests largest structures. 1t is
said that it will be used for ticket office.

Although farmers usually rate chickens

as among the dumbest of creatures, smart
pouItrymen discovered many years ago
that psychology could be practiced on hens
with profit-that so simple thing as
rapping on henhouse door before enter
ing, thus preparing the fowl for human
visitor and keeping them calm, paid divi-
dends in eggs, says Newsweek. The ex-
PLANTATION of this was furnished last week
by government scientists at the National
Research Station, Beltsville, Nd. who re-
ported that excitement stimulates a
chickens nervous system, which in turn
stimulates the thyroid gland. That pro-
duees thyroxin, which interferes with egg
laying.

POLICEMEN AND THE LAW

Quite few of Key Vests winter
residents and many tourists annually en-
tering Monroe County hail from the great
State of New Jersey. We've known some
of them long time. They are law-abid-
ing and friendly folk and we get along
with them without difficulty. They go
about the business of enjoying our sum
shine, our climate and our people with a
quiet and unassuming manner that we adj
mire and respect They do not break our
laws and our policemen have no COM
plants against them.
These random thoughts flashed into
mind the other day when we read story
in one of the Miami newspapers. 1t told
how two Miami policemen had vowed ven
geance on all New Jersey motorists be-
cause they, the policemen, had been ar
rested for speeding by New Jersey road
patroman while en- route to New York
fair. We gathered from the story that the
Miami policemen felt they were entitled to
special consideration and should not have
been taken to court for breaking the New
Jersey traffic laws-laws similar to those
the same policemen are sworn to enforce
in Florida.
The attitude expressed by these Mi
ami policemen is typical of that held by
the average policeman when he gets him
self tangled UP with the law. He is wont
to believe he is immune from arrest, al
though he doesn't hesitate to arrest the
people who pay his salary, Mr.. and Mrs.
John O. Citizen for similar offenses. Of
course, that attitude is all wrong. In uni
form or out of uniform a policeman must
set good example. He cannot expect the
respect of the public if he himself is not
willing to obey the laws he is called upon
to enforce. If caught violating the law he
must be willing to pay the penalty with
out squawking and without vowing ito
get even'' with the arresting authorities.
It seems to The Citizen that the pub
lie officials of Miami should do something
to discipline those policemen. The safety
director of Miami should put them where
of New Jersey or any other state. In the
year ended June 80, 1897 according to
the Florida State Road Department 22,-
971 New Jersey cars entered the state of
Florida. That many of them went to Mi
ami is certain. 1t would be wrong to sub
ject that many out-of-state motorists to
arrest simply because couple of mis-
guided policemen are "sore" and want ito
get even."
Judges presiding over the traffic
courts at Miami should carefully weigh
the evidence in all cases brought before
them by those policemen that involve New
Jersey motorists. Unless the evidence
against those motorists comes from i'm
partial witnesses and is irrefutable those
cases should be thrown out of court, for
the testimony of such policemen is not to
be trusted on stack of Bibles as high as
Miamis city Jail.
We can assure the citizens of New
jersey they have nothing to fear from the
policemen of Key West. If they do in
advertently get into trouble here The
Citizen guarantees them square deal
right across the board. Welcome to our
city, motorists of New Jersey.
