tional mysticism by his act per-
formed during the World War in
1917. At one performance he al
lowed himself to be securely
bound hands and feet with sixty
pounds of rope and chain by
sailors and civilians. He was
then placed inside of a sack, the
mouth of which was tied. He
was then thrown into the sea to
await his doom. To the surprise
and establishment of the eager
crowd, he escaped, leaving all
shackles at the bottom of the
sea.
Houdini, Americas greatest IL
lusionist, has been the only other
man to attempt this marvellous,

Can You Tell When Kidneys
Function Normally?

Kidneys should act 4 or 5 times
daily. Pass about pints straw
colored fluid and none at night.
If color and quantity is off, pass
age scanty, frequent smarts and
bothers at night, it may be a
signal that excess acid and other
waste is not being eliminated
regularly. This may also lead to
backache, headache, or rheumatic
pains. Try giving kidneys a
gentle lift. Drink lots of soft
water and take BUKETS three
times daily. Get Csc box from
any druggist. Locally at O1ivieri's

ARTISTS OF ANCIENT MAYA

may soon have formidable rival
in Key Vests Martha Watson,
who left Sunday for Yucatan to
seek inspiration among the ruins.
Martha claims that her art was
growing stale in Key West, due
to too many good people and too
many good times. AS she knows
no one in Merida, her prospective
headquarters, and speaks no
Spanish, she expects to be able
to bury herself in pure Art. She
may produce masterpieces among
the Mayans, but our bet is that
she will be mighty glad to see
Key West next fall and settle
down to continue her good work
here. In the meantime, she will
be greatly missed by her many
friends in and out of the
Colony.

THE ONLY SAILFISH of IL

THE ONLY SAILFISH of the
day was brought into the Casa
Marina dock yesterday afternoon
by Marker Patten of Chattanooga.
He and Mrs. Patten fished from
the pilot T., with Captain Bill
Wickers. The night before, in
the hotel, Mr.. and Mrs. Patten
confided that they just came
down from Miami for a days fish
ing and wanted a sail. The
fourth strike in the morning was
the Sailfish and it was a perfect
one to mount, measuring just
four feet ten and one-half inches
and weighing 1914 pounds. In
addition to the sail, they also
brought in nice catch, which
included eight kingfish, six bar
racuda and a four-foot shark.
Mr.. Patten also had on what they
thought was a giant grouper that
he fought for forty-five minutes
and which finally broke the
line. All in all they said they
never had a finer days fishing
and think that Key West waters
are the best fishing grounds they
have encountered in the South.

West artists and their work will
be on review under the coconut

be welding their brush and pal

verting touches" to further edify
the spectators. Johnny Putnam,
the well-known "hot-sketch" art
list, will assault the visitors with
his caricatures; the Family Nor
gan will present covered-wag-
on verSon of an artists studio in
action; while Jack Dudley threat
ems to appear in his South Sea

artists will contrive to tighten
the serious side of their art and
make the show amusing as well
as educational to the public.

"Other things in peoples yards,
too. If you have good neighbor
like Mrs. Gale, she may come in
with lumpy gray-green sugar
apple from the tree by her back
door; one of the custard apples,
mild and soft and white inside
like melting ice cream. And you
can get sour-sop real ice cream.
Young soursops are prickly and
look like jimson-weed pods, but
weigh as much as eight pounds
when ripe; young fruits are in
Mollie Parker's garden now.
There are eggfruits, orange AND
dry and mealy like the yolk of
a hard-boiled egg, sweet and rich
and aromatic; and brown russell
sapodillas, also sweet, that squash
when they fall ripe from the
tree. They tell us of Spanish
lines (not real limes) the chill
dren peddle about town in sea-
son. But real lines, the little
tree in the backyard, is bending
with them, and white bud and
bloom on it, too. You ought to
try limeade from fruit fresh
from the tree, and note the diff
ference. It's there. There is
coconut milk, of course, from the
half~grown nuts that load the
trees all along the street; or, if
you want grated coconut for a
cake or dessert, most likely you
can get it in front of your house.
And not all the Key Westers
know what delicious sauce and
preserves the prickly pears make
that grow on the cactuses out
by the salt ponds or how you can
use that deep purple juice to color
layer cakes. They do know,
though, about seagrape jelly, and
about lots of things we haven't
told you of yet.

There are several brands made by

tasty and chevy with plenty of

good for you, you will have some

Here are little Seminole pie
pumpkins, hard shelled and yell

picked so small and young it
takes several to be enough for

ears of green corn. And bushels

don't find these yellow papayas
