Education Fund Dance Saturday

Who hasn't heard the expression of again on again Flannigan''- well it's lon again"-the Business and Professional Womens Educa- tion Fund Ball To tell the bene- fits and happiness which the money derived from these affairs do for the lives of young women fortunate enough to win the award, would take more space than can be applied to it at this time.
 And besides the aid that this fund gives, the public has always given clamorous applause to the an- nouncement of the dance, which is one of Juneau's most anticipated social events.

ATTEMPT MADE TO ALTER BILL
 ON NEUTRALITY
Administration Measure Weafhers First Try
 at Amendment

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. = The Senate today rejected an amend ment proposed for the Administra- tion's neutrality bill, which amend ment was designed to limit the Presidents discretion in invoking neutrality legislation.
 Senator Hiram Johnson moved to strike out the discretionary lan- guage in the measure and was de- feated in his attempt, 61 to 26.
 Senator Johnson said that once the President found a state of war existed he would have to proclaim invocation of the law. AS the bill now stands. invocation of the law is merely authorized.
 Senator Lafollete proposed that the bill be amended to require a national advisory election to be held before Congress can declare an overseas war.

 US. WARNING
ookkeeping Mdnipu|a lions Do Not Comply
 with Standards

Continuing to pay the same salary now paid workers for a 44-hour week after October 24 is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, even though the employer makes a show of compliance through bookkeeping manipulations, General Counsel George A. McNulty of the Wage and Hour Division, U. s. Department of Labor, warned in a memorandum made public today.
 On Octob CT A the statutory minimum wage for all workers en- gagged in interstate commerce or in work necessary for the production of goods for interstate commerce was raised to 30 cents an hour; and at the same time the standard work week, after which overtime at time and one-half the regular rate of pay must be paid, was reduced to 42 hours. M N Ill ty s memorandum points out the illegality of adopting a bookkeeping rate for the pur-
 
 poses of the overtime provisions of the Wage and Hour Law and diff ferent rate for actual payment.
 Regular Rate" Involved
 The Act requires that overtime must be paid at the rate of time and one-half the regular rate of nav at which the employee is en- ployed,p MT. McNulty wrote. Time and one-half must be paid upon the rate at which the employee is actually employed and paid, and not upon a fictitious rate which the em- ployer adopts solely for bookkeeping purposes"
 These practices are violations of Section ' and as such will subject the employer to the penalties pre- scribed in the Act, McNulty wrote.

THE 1889 OUTLOOK

Nearly all economists agree that UNI
less some unforeseen upset occurs there
will be at least moderate Improvement in
business during 1899, although the first
three months are likely to remain about
stationary.
While government spending of bor-
rowed money will continue to stimulate
business, the national debt will reach more
than Al billion dollars during the next fis-
cal year. The number of unemployed,
now still about 10 million, will show some
decrease during 1889, but will remain a
most serious problem. Unemployment re-
lief will continue to be the greatest single
item of expense.
Leading observers do not expect a
European war this year, but Germany and
Italy will continue to press for further ter
ritory, and may obtain added concessions
without fighting for them.
Stormy debates are expected in Con-
gress over government spending, national
defense and wide range of domestic and
foreign questions, but it is too early to pre-
olct the outcome of these important con-
troversies.

SUNDAYS NORTHWESTERN.

strangely enough, came out of the
southwest first. Looming up to
the east of Sand Key light in a
long, low bank of gray clouds the
cold weather cloud roared over
head with little rain and was
followed by cold weather. The
water, however, from recent
warm weather, had not become
cold, although the air was plenty
cool. Weather has great deal
to do with fishing. When a run
of sailfish is noted, for instance,
and the wind drops off, fisher
men are pretty sure to continue
to hook sailfish, as the Stream
rovers will remain in the area in
which they are when the wind
drops off. At other times they
are heading westward. Local
fishermen swear that sailfish
never stop heading in this direc-

WHY BOATS MUST be drawn

WHY BOATS MUST be drawn
up on the ways regularly, about
once every three months, is be-
cause they soak in water to an
extent that their speed is ma
terially reduced. Another factor
in reduced speed is the moss that
collects on the bottom. On the
ways they are allowed to dry
OUT for three days after being
cleaned. This makes them light
again. A boat will rise almost
a foot higher in the water after
it has come off the ways. Their
bottoms are then painted with
copper paint, red being found the
best all-around color. This is to
protect the wood against water
and against teredos or sea worms
which in a few months can eat
the keel completely out of a boat.
Many boats, which have been in
the water for a year, are brought
on the ways and their dead
woods drop right out. There is
more expensive yacht paint for
bottoms that are even more effec-
tive against worms, but not abso-
lutely necessary to boatmen.

The craze to tax business out of BUSH
ness seems to have spread from state and
federal governments to municipalities. For
the moment, the chain stores are the par
ticular target of the professional politician
who is out to destroy some type of business
as evidence of his solicitude for the dear
public even though his destructive pro-
posals boost the cost of living for every
consumer. The cost of living would be
considerably reduced if Key West had a
chain store for foodstuffs.

THE GULF STREAM is harder


on charter boats close to the reef
than in the middle of the Stream,
halfway to Cuba. Close to the
reefs is shallower water. The
wind slams sthe waves into the
rocks and the waves rebound.
This makes high-crested waves
spaced closely together. The bow
of the boat falling off one wave
finds no smooth trough down
which it can coast. 1t slams into
another wave and pounds. In
rough seas the nails in the plank
ing will black out" of the frames
or ribs and the planks become
loose. This sank many old ocean,
wooden ships. In the middle of
the Stream the waves are long,
high rollers and the boats can
coast up one side and coast down
the other without jars. Ask any
old bootlegging captain around
Key West. One fellow brought
his boat safely in to the Keys
from Cuba, but when he got close
to the islands he thought the boat
would sink with its 800 cases it
pounded so.

SUPPORT THIS PROJECT!

Every citizen interested in the future
of Key West should arrange on Monday to
attend public hearing to be held by Col.
Lewis HI. Watkins, engineer corps, u. S.
engineers office, Jacksonville, in the of
flee of w. w. Demeritt superintendent of
lighthouses, for consideration of improve
ment of the introcoastal waterway be-
tween Miami and this city.
The purpose of the hearing is to pro-
vide data for report authorized by Con-
gress in accordance with resolution of
the senate committee on commerce re-.
questing review of previous reports with
a view to providing a protected channel
not less than eight feet deep at mean low
tide from Miami to Key West in continual
ton of the intracoastal waterway from
Jacksonville to Miami, and resolution of
the house committee on rivers and harbors
requesting similar review with view
to determining if it is advisable to improve
the section between Florida Bay and Key
West at this time"
1t most certainly is advisable Eat this
time" to improve, or rather extend, the
to Key West. At present yachts and other
boats are compelled at Bahia Honda to
leave the protected inside channel and
take the outside course into Key West.
Lack of protected inside channel to this
city has served in the past to hold yacht
owners further up the keys and in the
future will keep a. large amount of such
4<>-D To-
portant that Key West be put into the intra-
coastal picture, fort yachts and other
pleasure craft, and those engaged in fish
ing and other commercial occupations,
need better channel into this port.
In notices of the hearing, Col. Wat
kins requests the following information:
Views upon the necessity for the pro-
posed works.
Suggestions considered desirable in
the interests of navigation and commerce.
Suggestions for improvements in the
present channel to Bahia Honda.
Data on the economic benefits to be
derived from the improvement which may
justify it's construction by the govern
ment
Data as to the freight and passengers
which may be received or shipped over the
proposed improvement, terminal facilities
available, and similar information. '
Commercial fishing of all kinds, in
Guiding quantities caught per annum, the
number of boats engaged, the draft of
them.
Data as to use of the waterway for
health and recreational activities, includ
ing number of boats and yachts engaged
in this direction.
Oral statements will be heard, but
for accuracy of record all important facts
and arguments should be submitted in
writing, Col. Watkins suggests, because
the records will be submitted to the war
department for consideration.
The Citizen hopes officials OF the
county, city, such associations as the Key
West Chamber of Commerce, and the rep
resentatives of fishing and sponging inter-
ests here, will be prepared to supply the
requested information in writing, so that
some definite action may soon be taken to
extend the intracoaStal waterway to Key
West. 1t is important to all commercial in
terests conferred here-and vital improve
ment in making this little city of Key West
haven for yachtsmen, fishermen and va
cationists
