time in Chicago these days, with
only weekend visits to his New
Deal" farm in Montgomery county.
In Chicago, Gene is secretary
and treasurer of the Roosevelt
Farm Committee which is working
in direct cooperation with Henry
Wallace His office is next to
the Federal Reserve Building in
LaSalle Street, which is the Wall
Street of Chicago. And Casey re-
ports that along LaSalle Street,
there is hardly one Roosevelt but
ton. Willkie buttons are every
where.
In fact, Roosevelt buttons are so
rare that when Gene goes up in
the elevator, people peer at him as
if he were curiosity.
On the railroads, however,
Casey says that conductors and
porters seeing his Roosevelt but
ton turn back their lapels and show
Roosevelt buttons concealed from
public view. There is no question,
according to Casey, as to which
way labor is going to vote in No
vember.
Note: Casey reports that when
Willkie went through LaSalle
Street the tremendous ovation
given him there was carefully pre-
arranged. Every brokerage Of
flee had given instructions to its
employees to be on hand with tick
er tape and telephone books. The
Willkie reception in the rest of
Chicago was mild and unenthusias-
tic.

INFORMATION PLEASE

The publicity division at Ma
tional. COP headquarters has been
busily preparing a few cuff notes
for Congressional Candidate Wal
ter Johnson who recently couldn't
answer from memory a very sim
pie but embarrassing question.
The question put to the erst-
while big Lacquer by member of
a radio audience was exactly
what Maryland district he would
be representing if he succeeded in
beating Congressman Bill Byron.
The nearest he could guess was
Montgomery County. Republicans
in the four other counties OF the
Sixth District hope he will rlmem-
Der them should he make the
grade.

BATA SHOE COMPANY

Long before the news broke in
the daily press, this column point
ed Git the activities of Senator
Tydings in lobbying with the State
Department to obtain the admis-
sion of Czech shoe workers for the
Bata plant near his home in Har-
ford county. Among other things,
we reported that Senator Tydings
had gone direct to Secretary Hull
regarding the Bata shoe workers.
This week the Department of
Justice is releasing a report which
every Marylander should read and
which calls for the ousting of the
Bata workers from the U. S. A.
The link between the Bata organi-
cation and Germany's economic
activities is rather revealing.
Marylanders also should be in
terested in reading a series of ar
ticles in PM, New York'$ new
picture newspaper, regarding
their senior Senator.

ROUND THE FREE STATE

In Rockville they are saying
that StOkowski's American Youth
orchestra will have to play second
fiddle to Bill Byron's own youth
orchestra. Recently Papa Byron
played a one nights electioneer-
ing stand there and sons, Go0dlow
II, and James, - vowed the au
dience with their mandolins-Th
song God Bless America" now
seems to be everybody's campaign
number. The latest worthy to
have words rewritten to the tune
by well-wishers is Tommp A'Ales-
andre who blushed red-white-and-
blue when his friends sang it at
the Hotel Southern testimonial
dinner. Incidentally, the vote
prOgnOsticators are saying that
Tommy will defeat his opponent,
John Janeske, by $4,000 votes at
the November election which is T.
500 better than he did last time
The Chesapeake Bridge advocates
are wondering who will be their
champion on Capitol Hill when
defeated Joe Kennedy takes a two
year legislative holiday. Before
he takes leave of the capital, this
matter will be the subject of
special meeting of the full congress
siOnal committee to which will be
invited several Maryland business
big-wigs. Out Salisbury way,
where things don't look too rosey
fro Congressman David Ward at
this election, the name of John
Downing is coming to the front as
best possible candidate in 1912.
Downing is young, successful and
has a rep for being the best bar
gain-maker-keeper in the country

RAY CORRIGAN TO
APPEAR TWO DAYS
AT THE PALACE

Ray Corrigan, known as "Tuc-
son" and featured in the 'Three
Mesquiteers" and just acclaimed
No. l box-office star of Western
pictures by National Box-O Office
records, having a rating of one
hundred and ten percent for 1887
and '38. His popularity has in
creased, so the manager, Con
Izalo Bezanilla of the Palace The
.atre has requested a personal
appearance on Wednesday and
Thursday of this week.
One of his most popular Sc
rails with the old and young is
the painted Stallion, historic
al Western RELIEVING the days OF
40. Ray Tucson Corrigan', is a
perfect specimen of manhood,
81" tall, At" across the shoulders
and 80" around the waist.
Through his athletic ability he
was awarded the unusual assign
ment as swimming and stunt dou-
BILE for Tarzan pictures Che swings
through the trees with the great
est of ease) at Metro Goldwyn
Studio, this was the introduction
of Ray Corrigan into motion pic
lures in 1892.
One of his most popular sue
eeSses was the IL episode serial
entitled "The Undersea King
DOM, where he appeared as
"Crash Corrigan", using his own
name. This serial was story OF
his life in fantasy.
Ray lives on a ranch of 1850
acres in San Fernando Valley
near Chatsworths Calf, neighboFs
to Barbara Stanwyck, Robert
Taylor, Clark Gable and other
well-known stars.
He has a very modest ranch
but very elaborate barns for his
seven show horses, which he
rides in his pictures, also in pa
rades. His favorite pastime is
training and schooling horses tc
do unusual tricks, such as open
ing and closing corral gates, un-
tying knots, and taking off their
own saddles. b.
Ray Tucson" Corrigan is ap.
pearing in person at the Palace
theatre, where he will disclose
some of the tricks and stunts OF
how Western pictures are made
also presenting a novelty, which
is different and thrilling and very
entertaining with his Commute
stage show.

A PICTURE OF LIFE
BY ALBERT c. KEITH

Picture the farmer blowing
mule,
The teacher who instructs the
fool,
The ambitious man who grasps
for fame,
The child that is born without a
name,
The wild beast that can never be
tanned,
The cripples, the blind and
manned,
The poor, the needy the unem-
ployed.
The mother who prays for a
hayward boy,
The child that plays with toy,
The old man who sits alone in a
chair,
The little girl with golden hair,
The doctor who ministers to the
SICK,
The country boy who is called
hick,
The wise and rich, the arrogant
and proud
Surging humanity that is called a
crowd.
Those that think but can never
learn,
That we are but shadows that
pass away,
Some at night ana some In the
day
This is life and some. part we
play.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

l do not know just how it is
done, but the oil companies, they
seem to have the knack of pick
ing out the up-and-coming young
fellers to run their service sta
tions. You don't anymore than
get your foot off the brake, at the
gasoline pump, till there is a
cheerful kind of young duck COM
in on the run. Boy, they are
statesmen. You like 'em.
If you are in 1910 super IL or
if You limp in with a Model 7,
it is all the same. They act like
they had been waiting around
there all day, just to wait on
you, personal. If you buy 10
gallons or one gallon or just want
some ART don't make an iota
of difference-they are tickled
to see you. They don't overdo
it though, but they make bust
ness fun-but it is still business.
But there is no patent on wide
awake, courteous service-any
little outfit can use it. Most big
business today was a pee-wee
one time.
People harping about all big
business being pompous and ar
rogant-they are talking through
their hat.
Yours with the low down,

JANUARY WEATHER

Continued from Page One)
Florida, Kentucky and Okla
homa. In the states in which
previous records for cold wea-
Their were broken. the tempera-
ture averaged flO.-. 40 10 four
degrees lower than Ior any pre-
vious January sInCe statewide
records have been t.A~4aled by
the Weather Bureau.
The outstanding feature of the
January cold was its persistence
through the month, rather than
the occurrence of extremely low
temperatures on any particular
day, although the latter exceed
ed previous records in a couple
of states and approached them
in many others.
BlairSville, Ga, reported a tenn
perature of Is degrees below zero
and Long Greek, S. c., Is de-
grees below, both exceeding the
previous low state record of II
degrees and IL degrees below, re-
spectively.
The lowest reported for Janu
airy of this year in southern
states were as follows: Virginia
20 degrees; North Carolina, --1e
degrees; South Carolina, --l3 de,
greeS; Georgia. --16 degrees; Ala
bama, --16 degrees; Mississippi
IA degrees; Louisiana, --8 de-
! grees; Texas, --8 degrees; Arkan-
sas, IA degrees. and Florida, IL
degrees above zero.
An outstanding feature was the
extremely low temperature in the
deep South compared with much
higher readings in some sections
farther north. The lowest record.
ed at Washington, D. C., was
degrees above zero. while The
lowest for Mississippi was IA de-
grees below zero.

TALKS ON TREES
BY E. PORTER FELT
Bartlett Tree Research
Laboratories, Stamford, Conn.

A full appreciation of the value
of trees is usually commendable
though it is sometimes embar-
RAISING.
There are time when this is
carried to extremes. A recent
clipping relates an unusual case
which occurred in North Caro-
lima. A Chinaberry tree was
knocked down by an automobile
out of control. The remarkable
factor is that when passers-by
attempted to remove the injured
driver from the car, the owner
drew a gun and ordered the
good samaritans off his proper
ty. Because his $50 Chinaberry
tree had been injured, he would
not allow anything to be touched
until there was a settlement. He
relented after forty-five minute
discussion and permitted the re-
moval of the injured driver. Then
he had the yard roped off in such
a way that the wrecked car could
not be removed. Presumably
there was sufficient value in the
damaged car to meet his claims
Those who make a practice OF
driving at dangerous speeds
might do well to avoid certain
North Carolina roads.
Evidently the owner of the
Chinaberry tree had definite
ideas as to tree values. The art.
icle fails to state whether his
somewhat unusual action was
motivated largely by his regard
for the tree or whether less
worthy consideration, namely the
possibilities of securing a goodly
though possibly not an excessive
sum for damages, was the con-
trolling factor. No one ques-
tons the right of man to make
a claim for property damages
The methods in this case were

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-02-19

Approximately three hundred
residents of Key West turned up
last Saturday night to join in the
festivities engineered by the Key
West Yacht Club at their Ball
given at Rainbow Room of La
Concha Hotel.
Rain, descending in torrents
around HOO o'clock, proved that
the committee classed well as
weather prognosticators, and was
justified in moving the scene
from the grounds of Casa Marina.
Main attraction of the evening
was the judging of costumes
worn by patrons of the dance,
the judges serving being, Robert
Moses, Commissioner of Parks
for the City of New York;
Thomas Buchard, famous photo
grapher; Peter Blume, kell-known
painter; Jane Froman, popular
radio singer and Mrs. c. N. Stone,
visiting artist.
But first, before the winners
are listed, it will be well to tell
of the entertainment headlined
and so well "em-ceed" by George
Mills White, all resplendent in
his Major-Dome uniform. With
much pomp and ceremony, he
led the Grand March which got
under way at 1870 o'clock in the
lobby of La Concha and wound
its way several times around the
Rainbow Room.
Then followed some clever
Floor Show presentations.
Johnny Putnam got a laugh out
of the crowd with his impersona-
ton of a royal monarch giving a
radio talk and others contributed
to the program.
The Rainbow Room was clever
" decorated. Large semaphore
flags adorned the walls, and were
made increasingly evident by re-
Elections in the mirrored columns
