PATRIOTISM mo NATION CAN
LIVE WITHOUT IT
Bernarr Macfadden In March Liberty

article, Yosuke Matsuoka, speak
ing of this patriotic influence,
says: 1T gives a spiritual force
to every activity of Japan utterly
beyond the conception of any
other people-a mystic power
that defies all scientific measure
ments and analysis. Without
this, Japan is like any other
country in the world--a third
rate Power in fact. With it she
stands alone as a political miracle
among the Great Powers.
Has Japan anything to be
thankful for that cannot be Sc
cured in this country? Those
who visit that country will un-
doubtedly prefer America in every
instance. The japanese who are
living here and enjoy the priv
ileges that are given our people
SO freely would undoubtedly pre-
fer this country if it were not for
their patriotic love of the home
land.
We must find some procedure
that will rouse within our peo-
pie an appropriate love of coun-
] try. We must learn to appreciate
! the good things we have enjoyed.
The flag of the United States
is waving in the school yards OF
: this country. We have certain
ceremonies in some schools that
are supposed to stimulate a pa
triotic spirit. But such cere-
monies are usually mechanical,
without enthusiasm, minus the
feeling and emotions ESSENTIAL to
make the youth of this country
appreciate their importance.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

Key West will be turning more
than 10000 crawfish loose per
day from three hatcheries by
May Is, according to DR.. Thomas
z. Hodges, state shell fish COM
missioner, who arrived yesterday
to select locations for the plants.
The state will have two hatch
cries in operation this year in
Key West. The u. S. Fisheries
Bureau will operate the third.
The big hatchery on board the
converted yacht SFC-10, which
visited this port briefly last year,
viii be stationed at Key West
this year aboard the trim craft.
DR.. Hodges estimates that the
two state hatcheries will produce
more than a million crawfish
daily and that the government
outfit should exceed half million
daily. He says the. U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries has become very
much interested in the propaga-
ton of crawfish as so successfully
demonstrated by the state she'll
fish department last year. DR.. A.
G.. Adams, who had charge of the
hatchery last year in Key West,
and is being credited with the
success of bringing forth the first
crawfish, has been detailed from
the station at Booth Bay Harbor
in Maine, to superintend the
Matching operations at Key West
this season. Hamilton Adams,
who lowed the hatchery to Key
West and assisted in the opera
ton of the plant will be on the
work again this year. The 3d.
100000 crawfish Matched at Key
West last year should be large
enough for table use by next sea-
son. The converted yacht given
to the state by the U. S. Navy
was coal burner when the craft
came to Key West last year. Not
so now. She has been changed
to an oil burning ship and has
been remodelled in a number of
ways.

REGARDING The STATE
MENT this column made that
there should be appropriate pub
licity concerning the cruising
grounds of the Keys given yachts
men, one objector states that
since yachtsmen are the worlds
worst sailors" they will use very
little of the tricky, although beau
tiful, channels of the Keys.
Again, unless there is sufficient
development with protected wa
tiers and cheap fuel and food
prices at places on the Keys,
yachtsrnen viii not flock to a
scene. This objector claims that
the scenery of the Keys is very
''unbeautifuI' and the column
agrees with that statement, but
pointed out to him that the, beau
ty of the little channels and flats
with thousands of birds on them
is a high point in marine views.
For the present the most salts
factory method of exploring the
marine beauties of the Keys is to
anchor ones yacht in one of the
larger harbors of the Keys and
use a dinghey with outboard or
inboard to explore the winding
channels, spreading flats and
green mangrove islands. This
week this colunnist talked to a
yachtsman here who knew little
of the possibilities in Key West
fishing and Keys cruising. The
vast majority of visiting yachts
men do not realize the beauty of
cruising waters of this area.
DID YOU KNOW: That there
is sea trout fishing in the TRAN
gu1ar, 30-mile shallow water area
formed by the line of Keys and
Mainland coast meeting?. That
the best bonefishing is probably
around Key Vacas?. That the
Cape Sable country to this day is
largely unexplored?. That the
tide flows west 80 percent of the
time on the Inside Waterway be-
tween Bahia Honda and Key
West because of the peculiar for
nation of the area?. That the
reason there are 20-foot channels
running through most of the Keys
is that the large area of two-foot
depth flowing against the islands

ERMEN who fish about 40 miles
from Key West in No Mans Land
have a hull for a couple of hun
bred dollars and their motors for
about $50. There are many
breakdowns in No Mans Land
but there is also a cardinal rule
never to leave a fisherman be-
hind. The fishermen are starting
to realize now, however, that
when they have a dependable
boat which as a rule will not
breakdown for long they will
make more money. Nearly
every day the 3O-foot boats with
either Nash or Buick auto en-
gines may be seen late in the
afternoon from the Naval Station
dock returning with their days
catch.
