Fishermen reported the fish had

daring move to grab all COM

operative drive with the Nor
wegians to regain lost territory
swooped down on the combined
forces yesterday and this morn
ing, both by air and with me-
chanized troops, and succeeded in
driving the enemy "back on its
''haunches". BY implication at
least, the news from Berlin states
that some British troops are now
cutoff from lines of supplies.
Air raids, especially, accounted
for huge losses of stores and un-
told troop losses in the Trond-
helm area. AS a consequence,
the British appear to be in a diff
ricult position and in immediate
need of large-scale reinforce
mentS.
Germany again reported that
Narvik had not fallen to the
British. This news was made in
the face of known position of the
British navy which has swept all
German shipping from that area.

The average rate of farm
wages was 124 on April 1st as
compared with the 1904 level
and is three points above April
1St, 1899. Present wage rates on
a monthly basis, without board
average, $36.41, and day rates,
without board ,$1.55.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-04-25

In connection with these fig
ures, it is interesting to note that
the Department of Agriculture
reports that farm wage rates are
higher this spring than they have
been since 1881. Persons work
ing on farms on April 1st num-
bered 9,797,000. This is about
10000 less than on the same
date last year and the decrease
is explained by increased mech
anization of agriculture and mi
grafton of farm labor to indus
trial areas.

Readers should understand that
the appropriation bill referred to
in the above paragraph provides
the money for operating the
Navy and the construction men,
toned. In addition, there is
pending in the Senate a House
approved authorization bill to
permit the Navy to build twenty
one additional combat ships and
twenty-five auxiliary vessels.
The cost of these craft would
amount to $655,000,000 but pas
sage of the authorization bill by
both houses would not provide
any money for their construction.
Consequently, it will be neces-
sary to pass an appropriation
bill for the purpose before a rivet
can be driven in the additional
program.
Summing up the present status
of naval construction, we find
that the supply bill authorizes
construction of something more
than twenty new vessels, more
than sixty ships are now building
and the proposed increase by the
authorization bill will add forty
three others. This may seem like
large naval construction pro-
gram, but Admiral Harold r.
Stark, Chief of Naval Operations,
says that the Navy feels that a

Per capita income payments to
individuals in the United States
in 1888 amounted to seventy-six
percent of those received in the
boom year of 1929. The Depart
ment of Commerce says that in
come payments range from $205

York and average $515 for the
nation as a whole.

While 1888 is the latest year for
which these figures are available
on a state basis, preliminary rec
ords indicate that improvement
has been made in 1888 and 80.
The $515 figure for 1888 compares

Warned to Obey
Traffic Laws

Washington bicyclists were warned
yesterday by Police Court Judge

apply to two-wheeled vehicles and
that offenders would be prosecuted
sternly.
The warning came after Lewis E.
Acty, 10, colored, of 900 r street
NV, was fined IS for riding his
bicycle through a red traffic signal
light at the intersection of Four
tenth street and Independence
avenue NV. Acty was arrested by
Pvt. Anthony Richitt of the traffic
division, who told the court the
youth had pedaled through a red
light in the midst of late afternoon
traffic at a speed of about Is miles
per hour.
Pleading guilty, Acty offered no
explanation.
Commenting, Judge Mcmahon
said: II don't know why people on
bicycles think that traffic laws do
not apply to them. It is increas-
ingly apparent, however, that they
do not think so and they have be-
come q serious trafic hazard In the

New Defense Taxes
Paid Ungruding|y
By D. T.. Residents
Liquor Prices in Cofes
Generally Unchanged;
No Penny Shortage

The public reaction to paying the
new defense taxes thus far has been
extremely cheerful, a check here
REVEALED today.
Theaters reported that not a
single customer had complained
about paying the extra pennies.
Some of the theater cashiers, I'M
used to handling penny change, had
a little difficulty, but in some cases
patrons, anxious to pay the tax,
were correcting mistakes the CASH
iers made.
The big question growing out of
the new taxes seemed to involve
restaurant and hotel sale of liquor
and beer. Most places have made
no change in their prices or their
quantities.
Liquor Prices May Go Up.
Some few restaurants have raised
the price of bottled beer from 10
to Is cents. The tax on bottle of
beer is figured at one-third of
cent.
Most restaurants and hotels, how
ever, said they were paying the tax
themselves, and waiting to see how
it worked out.
In addition to the tax on whisky,
the restaurateurs reported that dis
tfllers had indicated they we're going
to raise their prices. There was a
disposition to wait until the full
amount of the increase was known
before any change was made in the
price of whisky by the drink.
No Penny Crisis Felt.
There appeared to be no penny
crisis" here. Banks said they had
plenty of pennies on hand for the
places which had to make change.
The Treasury Department said
sharp demand for pennies was ex-
pected, but that 1t had not been
felt yet.
When that time comes additional
pennies will be coined, according to
the demand.
The tax on cigarettes and gasoline
liz cent per pack or per gallon
is so small that few even took note
of it, merchants reported.
