ADULT EDUCATION
CLASSES STOPPED

Mrs. George E. Crosby, teacher
of W.P.A. classes in Key West,
has received a telegram from
Supervisor Martha Nowlin in Mi
ami to the effect that adult edu-
cation in this area must cease.
The telegram reads as follows:
Effective today the adult educa-
ton project temporarily non
scheduled. Do not work until
notified.
Mrs. Crosby told The Citizen
she was nonplussed at receipt of
this rather discouraging news as
the IS pupils in the class had pre-
pared to resume studies and had
secured necessary books. There
are also a number in the citizen
ship classes who were preparing
to get ready for the next session
of Federal Court.

STRANGE GOINGS-ON
BY MISS oTTILIE
OF KIRCHHEINER'S CAT

Excerpts concerning the strange
doings of a deaf Persian cat,
which folB w, were written by
Miss OttD Kirchheiner of ia
class at Key West High School:
1t was May 20, 1885, a perfect
Memorial Day, for on this day
President Roosevelt signed the
papers which meant that the
Overseas Highway would be
built. A great day for Key
West!
A great day for the Kirchhein-
ers, too, because on this day our
Persian cat, Gardenia, named
thusly because of her immaculate
coat of white, became the proud
mother of five lovely kittens!
Quintuplets! Among them was
an exact duplicate of "Denie"; for
this reason we named him Junior,
which seemed quite suitable.
One day at lunch time / called
the kittens to their meal and all
responded except Junior. Going
real close, my face almost to his
ear, l called and called but still
no response. That settled it, all
our thoughts and secret worries
had been true. Junior was deaf!
Years PASSED and Junior de-
veloped more and more into a
perfect cat. He was immense for
a cat and his fur was the thickest,
longest and softest l have ever
seen. His face was encased in
one large soft puff, which was &C
centuated by his pink nose and
large green eyes. Everyone who
saw him admired his beauty.
One night he ran across the
street in the direct path of car.
He was unhurt except for one
strange thing-his tongue was
almost cut in half.
There are no veterinarians in
Key West and we did not know
what to do for him. The corner
druggist advised to battle his
tongue in boric acid several times
daily and it would heal. Follow
ing instructions carefully, his
tongue healed but not together.
Junior at this time was tooth
less. / understand that it is quite
natural for cats to lose their
teeth, but not all at the same time
as Junior did. The strange part
is that Junior never got his teeth
back.
Also, Juniors whole side was
sore and in one little spot all his
fur was gone. The bald spot
grew gradually until it covered
his whole side. l didn't know
what to do and decided to battle
it in boric acid. This seemed
only to make it worse instead of
better. He lost his appetite and
he looked as if he were dying.
Mother decided it was hopeless
and fearing he had some disease
which might be contagious she
paid a man to take him away
and feed him until he died.
A few days later the man re-
ported, saying he thought the cat
was dying because he would not
eat. Two days passed and the
man returned, saying he thought
the cat was dead because he had
disappeared.
Six months had passed and
Junior was almost forgotten.
One night last week a friend of
mine, who lives next door to me,
said that our cat "Pinky" (he's
our latest Persian caO had been
over at her house crying all after
noon and all night. l knew for
a certain fact that Pinky had been
home all night.
Yes, it was Junior. After six

months he had returned home,
The strange part of this story
is this: his sides are better,
there is not one trace of sores or
one spot without hair. His
tongue is healed except for one
small place, and his teeth have
grown back. He is still deaf but
l think it would take a miracle
to change that. ...., 80.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. IA. CUP)-
When Grover Whalen sealed his
time capsule and buried it deep in
the heart of what only yesterday
we were calling the world of tomor-
row. he carelessly neglected to in
clude the most enduring object to
be found anywhere.
7 refer to tireless Tommy Hitch
cock, whom others refer to as the
Peter Pan of polo or the Methuselah
Of the mallet. II any living mortal,
and I don't exclude any holdovers
from the stone or iron ages, de-
served a place in the world fair
capsule along with the books and
bottles and toys and trinkets, it was
Hitchcock and no other.
Whalen could have done much
worse. He could have searched val
leys, climbed mountains and sailed
all the seas-Atlantic, Pacific and
high-without discovering a bit of
bric-a brac capable of ranking one
two with Hitchcock for sheer,
downright, free style Instability.
The Hitchcock capacity for endur-
ance is immense; he is, honestly. a
glutton.
And there is no reason to believe
this enormous appetite. for ageless-
ness never will diminish. For the
United State Polo association has
announced the rankings for 1910
and guess who heads the 500 odd
gentlemen who take their exercise
by participating in what amounts
to a slightly modified version of
hari-kari on horseback?
If you can't score 100 on that
brain tWister, I won't forgive you
but I will tell you. The answer is
Hitchcock. And III tell you even
more. The year of 1910 will be the
18th in his 81 seasons of hell for
leather galloping that Hitchcock
will carry the honor Of a perfect
10 goal rating.
AS you know a 10 goal rating is
the equivalent of a 400 batting
average in baseball, a score of IS in
golf, hand Of 13 spades in bridge,
or seven straight passes in the
grand old recreation known as
barnyard golf. There is no higher

tional shows. Plans will go ahead
in an attempt to obtain an indoor

Contestants in tonight's bouts

the United States and unless the
publicity men are steering us wrong
the main event will be the Widest
bout witnessed in the Ell Centre
arena since the crowd took over
activities against the Masked Mar
vel back in 1888
Hard Boiled Haggerty, by the
way, is quite a crowd displeaseL
himself. He is one of those fellows
appointed by the wrestling powers
TO act as bad man. He plays his
part as we'll as any Shakespeareian
actor ever played Macbeth.
Haggerty plans to fetch along all
of his "meanest' tricks tonight to
attempt to dethrone Manlopig, pres
emily rated the most outstanding
wrestling attraction on the Pacific
coast.
Manic Singh, a giant of man,
will have his work cut out for him
in the semi-windup because Gacek
is the same type Of wrestler as Hag-
gerty. Singh employs variety of

rating in polo and the score of 10
goals is SO awesome that in some
years no player in all the 500 at
tains it.
Now consider Hitchcocks record.
He started the same year he dis
carded his three cornered pants,
probably because they didn't wea.
we'll on a horse. BY 1914 he had es-
tablished a reputation. That was
before the names of Ruth, Demp-
sey, Wills, Jones and even Tilden
were more than mere names.
1t was before Joe Louis, Sam
Snead. Joe Gordon, Billy Conn or
any of 1895 football heroes were
born. Gene Tunney wasn't to be-
come known as a fighter for 10
more years and j. Donald Bulge, at
the age Of two months, had just be-
gun work on his backhand and
hadn't even started to practice on
serves.
The war interrupted the Hitch
cock career for year or two and
Tommy traded his ponies for fight
ing planes. But he was back on
the turf in 1919 and in 1920 was
ranked as a seven goaler. Only
twice since then has he missed the
perfect rating, and once he was
simply too busy with business to
give polo enough Of his time.
The surprising thing even more
surprising that the fact that he
has outlasted every contemporary,
is that he has lost none of his skill.
Last summer while Hitchcock was
leading the United States to vic
tory over Great Britain in the in
ternational cup, Deveroux Milburn
"a truely great player in his own
right a few years ago-told me
Hitchcock was better than ever.
He may tire bit near the end
now" Bilburn said, but he is just
as fast and smarter. You can't pick
a smarter player anywhere in the
world"
So perhaps it is just as we'll Wha-
len overlooked him. The man who
fogred the time capsule admits it
will last only 1000 years. By that
time Tireless Tommy will be barely
middleaged.
