The secret of the remarkable
success of Mime. C. j. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam G. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular. and not
Wlthstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mime. c. }. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as scalp oil. but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
OF every woman.

CONGRESSIONAL NEGATIVE

The session of Congress that adj
journed early this month did not de-
monstrate any ability to solve the prob
lens that confront the nation.
1t is true that the Congress gave an
exhibition of independence, in regards to
executive recommendations, but when 1t
killed suggested legislation it failed to
provide substitutes.
Democracy suffers in the world today
because of the apparent inability of de-
mocratic governments to function effec-
lively and nowhere is this more apparent
than when legislative blocs develop the
ability to thwart legislation without at the
same time, exhibiting the ability to pass
satisfactory legislation to meet given
situations.
It is possible that the Congress of the
United States will be divided into three
or more groups of members, none able to
pass legislation because of objections on
the part of other groups. It is also evident
that such development would almost
fatally effect responsive government

The controversy over the re-
cent special school tax district as
sessment election could be aired
but little at the meeting held last
night at the regular session of
the county commissioners, due to
the lack of desired information
and the more than 200 citizens
present were informed that the
matter would be taken up at
special meeting to be held tomor-
row night. So great was the
crowd that the main part of the
meeting was held in the court
room upstairs. All the commits
sioners and County Attorney Ma
lone were present. Members of
the school board were absent,
but Attorney George Brooks, now
legal council of the board, was
present. The question of the 10
mill assessment came up with
the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting and report OF
the school trustees, which was
signed by VIM. NJ. Albury, Abe
lardo Lopez and Edward Strunk,
Jr., who compose the committee.
Mr.. Malone said that the state
ment of the trustees was correct.
He also called attention to the
fact that the report on the school
budget. of which the declaration
of the trustees was a part, should,
according to the law, have been
filed with the county commits
sioners on July l. Mr. Brooks
stated that he was not there to

There are many noises to wrack ones
nerves, most of which could be decreased
or stopped altogether. One of the worst
offenders is the automobile horn. A study
of city sounds made several years ago in
New York by Carl Myer, acoustics en-
gineer, using the now accepted decibel as
the measuring rod, brought to light many
interesting facts. A decibel is the faintest
change of sound which can be detected by
the normal ear, and it is not until $50
decides are registered that noise ply
sically painful to the ear is reached. The
engineers study revealed that tigers
roar is only 82.5 decibels; . policeman's
whistle is 9; steam shovel goes to SO.
But the automobile horn, impossible as it
seems, screeches to 100 in sound A quiet
section in the city, registering about 90
degrees will be skyrocketed to so with a
single foot of the automobile horn. Now

KILLING ANOTHER GOOSE


On first reading, city council has
passed an ordinance prohibiting Florida
Motor Lines from delivering and picking
up passengers at P. & o. docks. The mea-
sure appears to be on par with the re-
solution adopted by Overseas Road and
Toll Bridge District Commission to raise
highway toll rates rs percent.
Since the opening of the highway to
the mainland, the bus company has spent
many thousands of dollars developing
traffic between this country and Cuba.
The company has contacted tour agencies
throughout the country, has spent large
sums for advertising and worked out ar
rangements with the Cuban government
for diverting large volume of travellers
to and from the United States by way of
Key West
This business has been developed by
providing travellers with tickets for
through connections, including transporta-
ton to and from the Cuba wharf here.
Key West taxicab drivers contend the bus
company has no right to transport pas
sengers from the docks to its terminal sta
ton in Southland street These taxi opera
tors want the exclusive right to carry
these travellers from the terminal to the
docks and from the docks to the terminal
lat from Is cents to ST person
City councilmen and our other public
officials seem fated to do the wrong thing
for Key West. They have fallen for the
demands of the taxicab drivers. If the or
dinance is passed, unless the company
went into the courts to fight it, through
passengers would be forced to dig up the
taxicab fares to the bus terminal. This
traffic would be affected. Some of it would
be lost. Travellers would return from and
go to Cuba by way of Miami or Tampa.
Many of the through passengers take
the advantage of the Key West stopover
privilege. They remain few hours or
overnight They spend fair volume of
money here, then board the boat to Cuba
or bus for Miami. This business is new
development development conceived
and engineered by the bus company. 1t
would be unfair and unwise for council to
listen to the taxicab men, who have con-
tributed nothing to the development of
this business, and disrupt the service.
There is another angle in which Key
Westers are vitality interested. Were it not
for the through passenger business the
bus company would not be able to run six
buses daily in summer and eight or more
buses daily in winter between Key West
and Miami Cut the through traffic and
Key West cuts its bus service to the main
land
The bus company can fight the or
dinance in the courts on the ground that
it interferes with its Interstate Commerce
Commission permit and restricts interstate
and foreign commerce. It would be best
not to force the company into the courts.
The city council should kill the ordinance
and The Citizen so recommends.

Lowering Writes About
Message To Garcia Z
fr,o,.,,,,,a,5 teo,,, r,age (,na,

instructions by President McKin-
ley to take word from him to Gen.
eral Garcia, beloved leader of the
Cuban forces. Rowan crossed
the Caribbean in an open boat,
eluded enemy patrols on the
Cuban coast, made his way alone
through the jungle to Garcia's
headquarters. Such is the story
in summary.
Ebert Hubbard called his not
able contribution to English lit
.erature literary trifle". 1t was
written on the night Of February
az, 1899, and has since been
translated into many of the lam
guages of the world. Mr.. Hub
bard lost his life in the Titanic
disaster. In the pamphlet, not
copyrighted till Is years after it
was written, Mr.. Hubbard said
that his son, during teacup dis
,cussion, claimed Rowan was the
real hero of the Cuban war.
Like a flash it came to me, the
boy is right" and Hubbard rose
immediately from the table and
wrote the brochure which first
appeared in the Philistine, Hub
bard's monthly published then in
East Aurora, N. X.
80
Thousands of extra copies of
the Philistine were ordered, and
in a day or two President George
H. Daniels of the New York Gem
trail railroad asked the price on
100000. Daniels issued the ''Mes-
sage" in booklet form in editions
of one-half million, distributed
everywhere. A Russian railway
official in the country at the time
had the booklet translated and
given every railroad worker in
Russia. 1t passed on to France,
to Germany, to Spain, to Turkey,
to China and Hindustan. Every
Russian soldier who went to the
front in the sp-Iapanese war
had a copy of the pamphlet in
his kit. The Japanese, finding
so many booklets among the Rus
sian dead and wounded, conclud-
ed it must be good thing; the
Mikado put copy into the hands
of every Japanese, soldier and
civilian.
More than fifty million copies
Of the Message To Garcia" have
been printed-a larger circula-
ton than any other literary ven
ture ever obtained in the life OF
the author. and in all the his
tory of the world there never was
time more ripe than now to re-
print this literary gem. The
present generation knows it only
as a sounding phrase, or maybe
as a movie. Here it is:
