World Beer Consumption Gains
AS Moderation Movement Grows

Italy. Latvia, Lithuania, Neither
lands. Poland. Sweden. Yugoslayia.
Egypt, Morocco. Tunis. Union OF
South Africa. Guatemala. Mexico
and Peru.
The United States showed a slight
decrease in the amount OF beer pro-
duced. More recently the figures
have turned upward again, indicat-
ing that beer production in this
country follows the general business
index.
Starting with the postwar period,
during which widespread move
ments Of temperance education were
developed in many sections OF the
world, consumption of beer as a bev.
erage of moderation has been on the
increase. Even discounting the
amount attributable to the return of
legal beer in the United States, a
worldwide gain Of approximately IA
per cent is reflected In a comparison
of the 23.000,000 barrels produced
in 1920 with the 96.o00.O0D barrels
produced last year.

yXTORLD- WIDE consumption of
w beer and ale. which has been
steadily increasing in the wake of
temperance education advocating
moderation and sobriety, reached a
new postwar peak with the produc-
ton of 10000, 900 barrels in the fis-
cal year 1888, according to prelimi-
nary figures collected by the League
of Nations, at Geneva, Switzerland.
The world increase of 2.000, 900
hectolitres Q.700,000 barrels) over
1897 was due primarily to the esti-
mated increase of 100000 hecto-
litres in Europe. where temperance
promotion and governmental advo.
cation of beverages of moderation
have gained wide Roadway in recent
years.
The United Kingdom, Germany,
Austria and Japan were among
the major countries producing more
beer during the fiscal year 1898 than
during the previous year. Other ma
tons reporting increases were Bull
garia, Estonia, Greece. Hungary.

SALUTE THE FLAG

A daily reminder of the flag of the
United States as symbol of the Nation.
That is the idea suggested by several
members of the Arthur Sawyer Post, No.
%, American Legion, in calling attention
to the practice in other school districts of
Florida that call for salute to the flag by
every student at the start of each day.
Legionnaires point out that much in
the way of preserving patriotic principles
can be accomplished by early training to
respect the U. S. flag. The Citizen heartily
subscribes to this program. Local Legion
Post will do well to suggest that Monroe
County school authorities be approached
on the subject.

A KEY WESTER RAMBLEs
ROUND THE COUNTRY:

New York. Up to the New York
Daily News Building, beautiful
new skyscraper, to see Ben Gross,
radio editor. Mrs. Gross has been
winter visitor in Key West.
While waiting for MIR. Gross, the
boys in the office gave US some
inside story of the newspaper
game in metropolitan New York.
The radio technician said that
newspapers made a mistake in
fighting radio competition. They
should have bought out radio in
terests. Television is in New
York with one broadcasting COM
pany sending. Television sets
are very expensive, though, and
for the present it would be ne
cessary to have wires strung to
transmit for any distance at all.
Present radio broadcasting ex-
penses, outside of radio star sal
aries, is ridiculously low So for
small investment, radio COM
panies make big money. But
with high costs of television even
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, with all their
money, is only tinkering with it.
Mr.. Gross showed us facsimiles.
which in the future may be news
and pictures at buttons touch

years before this comes to small
towns, however. Out to supper
with Mr.. and Mrs. Gross. Mr..
Gross covers night life of New
York with radio slant, and
writes column pointing out the
best. He also publishes radio
magazine articles. He once was
a magazine editor, but mag edi-
tors make so little one cannot
live in high-price New York ~in
any style. Out went Mr.. Gross
after dinner to listen to concerts,
see night club floor shows and
meet the producers and actors be-
hind Broadway's glittering shows.

KEY WEST and a great deal
of Florida have always been hurt
by the competition of foreign
countries who are allowed to
send in their products with little
duty. The widespread pineapple
farm industry of the Keys was
shot when Cuban pineapples
were allowed in the country with
little duty. Back up in the Ever
glades, sugar production is cut
down to LIP of the production
possible, yet Cuban sugar is al
lowed in the country with little
duty. Latest news is that of the
lime growers on the Keys who
report that Mexican lines are
allowed in the country with lit
tie tax. Cuban and Bahaman
sponges also come in with little
duty. In countries, such as Cuba
and Mexico and the Bahamas the
scale of wages is SO much lower
that the fruit can be produced
and distributed much more
cheaply than it can be here. But
the u. S. wants to retain Cuba's
friendship and also get other
products it needs from her. And
American capitalists have extern
sive interests in Mexico. Mean
while Florida and Key West suf-
fers.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

While aboard a train, travelling
between Chicago and New York I
met 9-year-old girl with curly
golden hair and blue eyes. Her
name is Ann Penseyres, and she
had come to the United States from
Panama with her mother on a va
cation trip.
Although her parents are Ameri-
cans, Ann was born in Panama
and has lived there most of her
life. I decided to ask her ques-
tons. and to use her answers in
our column. Here are facts about
her life which she gave to me:
II live in the village of Gatun.
1think there are about 300 families
there. Some of them are white and
some are brown. The brown people
i've in a separate part of the village.
-. The houses in the village are
one story high, but they have con-
crete easements which are partly
open. We go down steps to get
10 the basement. We have laundry
tubs in the basement and a place

and hammocks. On hot day, it's
nice to go into the cool basement,
and lie in hammock.
"One interesting thing is to go
to the edge of the Panama Canal
and watch the ships go by. I see
battleships and ocean liners. The
people don't get off the ocean liners
at Gatun, but often they wave to
people on shore, and sometimes talk
to them.
Il like to swim, but not in the
Canal. There are alligtaors in the
Canal, and they are dangerous, and
that's why I don't like to 60 into
the water, To take swim, I go
to Gatun Lake or else to a concrete
swimming pool near the city of
Colon, about nine miles away.
Some men swim in the canal and
catch alligators by throwing ropes
around them. They have to be care
full OF the alligator's tail because It
might swing around and hurt them.
Alhgators can also bite, and one
bite might cut off a persons leg.
"Alligators are shot mostly to get
the skin. From the skin. people
make purses, belts and shoes 7

had some shoes with toes made
from alligator skin, and they wore
very well.
Children catch baby a1ligators
and sell them to the owners of Chi
nese or japanese stores. After q
little alligator is stuffed, the store
keeper will put lights inside the
eyes and mouth, and place 1t over
the doorway to his store"
Ann had other interesting things
to tell about the life of child in
Panama. Next Saturday plan to
give the rest of her story,
