ing LID against those Nazis is some thing ye ed salutes. Sure wish they had put this on those 50 destroyers: From a grateful America to truly Great Britain"
 Madeleine Carroll is a pretty sad young lady these days. Her maw's letters tell of the terrible air raids over her house near Dover, and Madeleine hasn't heard from her gentleman friend in long time, too The reports about a new finance are poppycock.
 Ye ed recalls that our State Dept few weeks ago made 1t clear that any foreign diplomat in the U. s. (who interferes with our internal affairs) will be considered persona non grata. Well, Newsweek reports that the N. Y. Italian Consul Vec-- chiotti is taking very active part in our Pres. camapign. How about that MT. Hull?
 One of the Washington army of- ficers (wfloSe name has been ru- mored from time to time as ghost ing Lindy' radio speeches) can't deny that when he was in Berlin MT. Goeoring gave him medal in- scribed: "To a true friend of Nazi principles"
 Irving Caesars "Sing a Song of Safety" is a sustaining air program when it should be working for liv- ing. conideriig that it lands in each of the forty-eight States and would be rnargain for any sponsor, by heck! MT. Caesar, personally, would appreciate sponsor His labors of love, it seems, have made him the towns poorest philanthro- pist.
 Our golf champ, Dickie Chapman, lost his wife, Marjorie Logan, as ye ed said. Dickie's next may be certain rich society matron from Philadelphia, Pa.
 Quite a tale they tell about Art Brown, just in from Reno. Seems Art was down at Palm Beach, where all the sWells go in the Winter, and one night beat a gambling house for $10,OOO. Butt hey couldn't pay and gave him the place instead! Arts friends became his best customers and made him rich overnight. Then the went to Reno to- look for more easy marks, and now he's back in our hick town wishing he had a job.
 Out Indianapolis way, Anton Scherrer's Our Town colyum has this to say of ye ed: T can't possibly keep up with the columnists who are re-shaping the world and mak- ing it fit their own ends. I can't analyze everything to a pulp like Dorothy Thompson, I can't write like Eleanor Roosevelt, and I haven't the push of Walter Winchen, who continues to direct the foreign poli- cies of the U. s. A., and, by heck, gets away with it, too"

Though of course last years fig ureS offer no accurate barometer for the senatorial contests this year, it is nevertheless interesting to note that Scully's margin of strength was in the third ward, part of the 18th district. Culhane was strongest pro- portionately in the first ward, which isalso in the 18th.

The five candidates in the 18th and 10th senatorial contests are campaigning strenuously and any one of them or his supporters will tell you how confident they are of success.
 The Conley forces in the 18th are relying on a three-way con- test and split to put their man out in front. They are serious about this and working hard.

before, he said, but the influx
started in November, fully a
month earlier than usual. The
outgoing trend is just now start
ing with indications that the sea-

Tourists are still pouring into
the state in great numbers, and
the outlook for the summer sea-

war as the main reason for the
increase.

Key West Players
Plan Future Production

Many things were decided
Tuesday night at a meeting of
the Key West Players.
Treasurer Jerry Bogart indi-
Gated the financial status of the
group and it was agreed that all
money be kept in a fund to COW
er next production expenses.
Possibility of developing a thea
tire house of their own was dis
cussed by the Players. This
would tend to centralize the
group, give the players perman-
ent advertising and assure them
of continued life, it was pointed
out.
A drive for new members is
now under way. Members OF
the group are searching for any
of the well-known key West
talent, which will be invited to
attend the next try-outs to be
held Tuesday night of next week
at the Art Center.
Three one-act plays are sched-
uled for the next performance
and it is suggested that interest
ed persons come out for the try
outs, whether or not they take
part in actual player selection
and try-out work. A program
committee has been formed,
headed by Ensign Pettingill, and
an interesting feature is being
worked out, it was stated, along
the lines of the acting sessions
held by Mrs. Max Eastman.
A party committee was also
formed, headed by Jane Terwil-
Tiger, who will see to it that the
Players first production will be
properly celebrated by everyone
in the group.
