UTILITIES DOING VERY WELL

A few years ago, the cry was loud in
the land that the public utilities were be
ing 'cut to pieces" by the policies of the
Roosevelt Administration. -
1t may be interesting to point out that
C. w. Kellogg, president of the Edison
Electric Institute, says that in the twelve
months just ended, generation and sales OF
electricity and operating revenues attained
all-time high records, with generation ex-
ceeding the previous high of last year by
twelve per cent and operating revenue ex-
ceeding last years high by seven and one
half per cent.
Obviously, the public utilities are nos
being starved to death in the United States.
regardless of the loud laments and pro-
longed MORNINGS that greeted the passage
of certain New Deal legislation.

MARRY AND LIVE LONG

If statistics compiled by DR.. William
F. Ogburn of the University of Chicago are
to be accepted as accurate, those who de-
sire to retain health, wealth, sanity, and
even life itself, should get married if they
are not already that way.
He declared that most of the inmates
of poorhouses and insane asylums are UNI
married; also that the death rate for single
men and widowers is twice as high as that
for married men.
The life expectancy of women is from
one to two years longer than that of men,
which may be partially due to the fact that
more men meet accidental death.
1t has often been asserted that mar
ried men live longer, but cynic once de-
clared that this was not literally true, as
1T only seemed longer" However, DIR.
Ogburn's researches seem to bear out the
idea that married life is really conducive
to longevity.
To be on the safe side, therefore,
young fellow had better get married; pro-
vided. of course, he can find someone who
is willing to assume the role of party OF
the second part-or maybe it's the first

Colonel Knox. in 1886 vice presiden-
tial candidate of the Republican party and
newspaper owner, and new secretary of
the Navy in. President Roosevelt's Cabinet,
once characterized his present boss as
''overconfident, incautious, Sself-willed. un-
certain and unreliable" Other Cabinet
members, with whom Knox will sit, have
been tagged editorially in this fashion
Secretary Hull: Honest and well mean
ing, but weak: Secretary Morgenthau:
"a gentleman farmer who is out of his
depth; Secretary Wallace "A farm jour-
nal editor with mesSianic complex" 1t
is apparent how these gentlemen stand
with Knox. but how Knox stands with
these gentlemen is not known as yet. It
may be assumed that they think Knox is
just knocker. and let it go at that, now
that they have to associate with him.

WHEN THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY,

The Citizen is bit belated in ex-
tending best wishes and cordial welcome
to the 265th Regimental Band under di-
rectiOn of our good friend, Warrant Of
ficer Caesar La Monica. Of course, we
greeted the National Guards when they
encamped last week and wished them sue
cess with their training period. AS we re-
member it, we included the band in the
welcome, too But-Key West thinks of
the Regimental Band in separate terms
from the encampment, so it behooves US to
reflect the unanimous opinion of the city
and extend hearty thank you for the
wonderful concerts that have been given
and for those yet to come.
We were especially pleased to see
yesterday where Mr. La Monica has re-
vised the schedule of concerts to include
five more public showings before the en-
campment comes to clOse-twO this week
and three next week. 1t is pleasing, too,
to note that regular concerts are being
given for the benefit of the patients at the
Marine hospital.
1t seems to us that there just isn't a
city we've ever beer in where the residents
like good band music as much as they do
in Key West. when the band begins to
play and strikes up one of the popular,
martial airs, it's a sure bet that standing
room only signs are in order. The whole
town, it seemed like, turned out to the con-
certs in La Concha park last week and last
night to hear La Monica's talented bands
men-and they liked every bit of the ex-
cellent programs given, right down to the
final, fading bars of the National Anthem.
Incidentally, here's where the Rec
reation Committee realized something on
their efforts last winter when they strug-
gled to provide this center, only to find
that servicemen didn't approve of it. It's
proven wonderful location in which to
hold these band concerts-centrally To-
Gated as it is, and will, no doubt, prove its
worth in many other ways as the seasons
advance.
The Citizen is pleased, too, to note
that there is noticeably less noise at the
band concerts than heretofore. Of course,
the presence of two or three policemen
might have something to do with that con-
dition, but we choose to believe that the
youngsters (prime viOlatOrs, before) are
becoming more appreciative of good music
and are according Mr. La Monica the con-
sideration he is due.
Key West is glad to welcome the Regi-
mental Band. 1t looks forward each year
to its presence here. Come again, we say!
