Police Suggest Dry Cell
To Cure Bandits Couch

Police came forward today to
suggest cure for the bad cough
that plagued bandit operating in
the District. A few months in q
nice, bright cell at Lorton Re-
formatory would probably do won-
ders for 1t. they said.
The coughing bandit last night
obtained about So and a taxicab
from Rudolph Quarles, 46, of 540l
Fourth street NV. Mr.. Quarles
had picked the man up in his cab
and driven him to the 600 block Of
Girard street NE. when the passen-
ger drew q pistol, took his money
and forced him out of the cab.
The man, who coughed inces-
sanity, drove of with the taxi, Mr..
Quarles said.
Two men invaded a grocery store
at 1915 Bennis1g road NE, locked
Mrs. Clara Brody. 81, and her daugh-
ter, 13, in a back room and cleaned
the cash register OF $50 last night.
Mrs. Brody is proprietor Of the
store.

in this bath for Is minutes. Then
dry yourself gently. keep warm,
and 60 promptly to bed.
The, reason this new bath
works such magic (as proved in
scientific tests) is because the
warm water and Colman's Dry
Mustard in combination have
wonderful draWing power. They
materially increase the flow Of
your blood, all over your body,
toward the surface of your skin.
This speeds up the elimination of
the fatigue wastes, relaxes your

and sends you to bed ready for
that dreamless peace Nature in

Take this New Kind of Bath.
and Drift Off Into Utter Rest

When you toss and fight the bed
clothes, when one black hour
after another goes by without re-
lief, it's because your nerves are
tense and there is an excess of
fatigue wastes in your blood.
What you need, to get utter
rest and deep, peaceful sleep, is
way to relax those nerves-and
a way to speed up the clearing Of
those fatigue wastes.
Fortunately, there is now a
simple way to do it, without
drugs, without trouble, and with
out expensive preparations.
Find out for yourself how easy it
is to sleep like a baby.
You've always known that
warm baths were relaxing and
had a tendency to make you
sleepy. But now, by the right
kind Of warm bath you can sleep
as you have never slept before.
Just fill your tub half full of
water that is from 100 to 1O4 de-
grees warm. Then sprinkle
through it 3 to 4 heaping table,
spoons of Colmans Dry Mustard.

800 Flights Over Reich
Reported by British
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 22.-British re-
connaisance planes have flown
100000 miles In 800 flights over
Greater Germany since the start Of
war, a Royal Air Force informant
said today.
He declared the losses had been
small and that the scouting value
Of the flights amply justified them.
Even at night Europe is not in
visible from the sky" he said. 'Un-
der the moon the rivers gleam and
metal flashes and the lighter mass
of town is plainly distinguishable
from the darkened countryside
around it.
"On moonless night, with
clouds, things are more difficult for
the observer, but even then it is
possible to make out q remarkable
amount Of what lies beneath the
aircraft - ..
"At night, except when raiders
come down to inspect q town or
some anti-aircraft defense area, the
principal enemy is not the Germans
but the weather -.
I'm the daytime anti-aircraft guns
fill the air with bursting shells,
while enemy aircraft come out like
deadly wasps."

PUBLIC OPINION POLLS

In recent months criticism of public
opinion polls, or straw votes, on various
questions has been heard in certain quar-
tiers, usually from candidates who have
made a poor showing in the published re-
suits.
Whether such polls serve any useful
purpose may be open to honest argument,
but it is difficult to see where they can do
much harm, or what could be done about
them, even if it were decided that they
were in some way harmful
Surely everyone has a right to ask the
opinion of his fellow-citizens on any ques-
ton, and the persons asked have an equal
right to answer or refuse to answer. Com
piling answers received and publishing the
results are certainly permissible within the
constitutional right of freedom of speech
and of the press.
1t is conceivable that in some cases
certain persons might seek to gain an I'M
fair advantage in some manner by publish
ing false figures. But the Instances in
which anyone could derive any actual
benefit from such procedure would be
very rare.
lis of public opir ion are popular
among many people, and often give very
close approximation of actual sentiment
concerning the issues concerned. Polls of
nationwide scope will be studied with
great interest during the coming election
year, as in the past We can not see that
any good purpose would be served by try
ing to stop them.

ing the past two days. She is
Mrs. A. S. Blodget. better known
as Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner,
daughter of one of the most IA
nous actors of all times, Otis
Skinner. Miss Skinner, who is
making several appearances in
Florida, left today by boat for
Tampa She will appear in Win
ter Park Friday. So far she has
played Hollywood and Palm
Beach before coming to Key
West. Immediately following her
engagement in Winter Park she
will leave for Boston, where she
will open Monday. Her act, as
she explained it, is a solo, the
actress taking all the parts her
self. 1t is very clever, and for
many years she has been a head
liner of the theatre. This was
her first visit to Key West and
she spent yesterday cycling
around the island. She thinks
the city is most attractive and
her only regret is that she can't
stay longer. However, she hopes
to return sometime soon and
spend more time in the Island
City.

January report of the Overseas Road
and Toll Bridge District shows that total
of 1901 motor vehicles of all kinds used
the highway last month. These vehicles
carried approximately $4,000 drivers and
passengers, about half of them to Key
West from the mainland.
That is lot of traffic on any high
way anyW here. Imagine the pounding
and wear and tear that 1901 vehicles,
including heavy trucks and buses, give a
highway in period of one MONTH! Think
of the strain such a volume of speeding
weight puts on the bridges, particularly
the wooden bridges, in Overseas highway!
1t is almost beyond comprehension.
The Citizen hopes that the officials of
the State Road Department realize, as all
other observers realize, that there is a
limit to the length of time the wooden
bridges are going to stand up under that
terrific traffic load. AS State Road De-
partment officials know, it is costing the
state thousands OF dollars annually to re-
pair and maintain those bridges. Imagine
the cost that would follow if there was a
bridge failure, even if no one was killed or
injured!
What would happen to Key Vests
prosperity if one of the bridges failed un-
der the weight of this traffic load? How
much would the state lose in gasoline taxes
alone if traffic to Key West suddenly
ceased because of bridge failure?
If, instead of neglecting the improve
ment of Overseas highway, the wooden
bridges and dangerous curves were elm
mated the distance between Miami and
the great increase in traffic that would
follow. The state in very few years
would reap harvest of gasoline taxes from
the use of this highway to more than pay
for anv improvements.
4,.sponding to public demand for &C
ton, Monroe County Commission met over
the weekend with Chairman Arthur Hale
and other officials of the State Road De-
partment. Chairman Hale was properly
impressed with the need for an improved
highway, and informed the commissioners
that work would be we'll under way by
summer.
The Citizen expresses the fervent
prayer that Chairman Hale sees to it that
work is we'll under way by summer. 1t will
be recalled that the work was to have got
ten under way in July, 1889 For some
unexplained reason, the State Road De-
partment forces and equipment were
moved to other sections of the state just
when residents of Monroe county had
hoped they would remain here to finish
job that should have been done long ago.
There has been enough delay on this
project. Further delay may prove fatal to
Key Vests continued prosperity cost the
state tremendous loss of revenue and in
flict blow to the national defense pro-
gram that is being forwarded by the fed
eral government on this strategic island.
