A Myth Exploded

The myth that a person, in order to speak
effectively before an audience, must be born with
some unusual ability has been exploded by the
Granville Jacobs method of personalized coaching
Speakers are "made" not born" They are
made in the Granville Jacobs Course in Talking
and Thinking on Your Feet during the short
period of fourteen weeks. The classes meet one
evening each week during that time.
Graduates Of this course who had never faced
an audience in their life previous to taking this
training, are now speaking regularly right here
in Washington, before mems service clubs. con-
ferences, conventions business gatherings and
political meetings. Over dozen recent graduates
are members of the Speakers Bureau of the Com
munity Chest.
Paul McCrea stated, "Granville Jacobs meth
ods actually trains the members of his groups to
face an audience and say what they have to say
with confidence poise and effectiveness
You may have no desire to become a public
speaker in the popular meaning of that term.
Only small percentage of those who take this
course have that as an objective. Most people
take it to increase their power in everyday life.
Many Washington graduates will tell you they
have made more financial progress as the result
of fve-minute talk in the presence of those
who had the poUer to promote than they did
during the preceding five years with their nose
on the grindstone You may have their names
upon request. They are delighted to recommend
this training so that others may enjoy the same
benefits. And remember, they are the same indi-
viduals who used to quake in their boots at the
very thought of speaking before even small
audience.
The main reason for the effectiveness of this
training is personazed instruction. Granville
Jacobs not only organizes the course but he con-
ducts it. He will not accept more students than
ne can train personally. In addition, Mr. Jacobs
is experienced. During the past three years he
has personally trained more government, business
and professional men and women in public speak
ing than any other instructor in the United States.

|nfanti|e Paralysis
Spread by Sewage
And Human Carriers
Virus Believed to
Attack Via Nose,
Says Health Service

By the Associated Press.
Infantile paralysis, like typhoid
fever, is spread through sewage and
human carriers who show no signs
of the disease.
The United States Public Health
Service reported today that recent
Investigations had shown that thou
sands of healthy persons were car
rying the virus which causes the
disease. without ever knowing it.
Officials said also that samples of
sewage taken in Charleston, S. c.,
during an outbreak last year had
caused typical poliomyelitis symp-
toms in monkeys, proving that it was
waste-borne disease.
Swallowed Without Danger.
The service is doing extensive re-
search and investigation of epidemics
in an effort to determine how the
virus enters the body and affects
the nerves, principally those of the
spinal cord. Apparently it can be
swallowed without DANCE, but If
breathed it affects the olfactory, or
smelling. nerves in the nose and is
carried to other nerves within Z to
IA days.
Efforts have been made to treat
victims of the Gripping disease with
the serum of persons who have re-
covered from it. but no conclusive
results have been obtained.
Sprays Ineffective.
Also various forms of immuniza.
ton, such as the spraying y the
noses of children who might be
susceptible, have been tried without
success.
Proof that the virus is carried in
virulent form in sewage and by
immune human carriers is the great
est recent advance toward conquest
of the disease, officials said.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The Nome City Council met in special session Thursday evening at the office of clerk M. J. Walsh to discuss features of the con- StructiOn of the new addition to the public school building, and to listen to matter referred by the fire committee concerning the placing Of volunteer firemen on duty at the picture shows.
 Af' some discusson concern ing the advisabiity of appointing a building engineer for the school addition, the council agreed to leave the matter in the hands of the regular finance and building committee.
 Chas. H. Code, manager of the Dream Theater appeared before the council protesting the alter mating of volunteer firemen to be present at the show free of charge, and occupying regular seats of the customers of the show.

 The subject of fire hazards and danger of setting off of fireworks was discussed, and the fire com nittee empowered to publish a warning to the pubic to be ex- -remely cautious in permitting he use of fireworks about frame and dry grass in the ,ity.

MONEY REWARDS

The fact that the greatest money re-
wards do not go to those who perform the
highest service to mankind is too well
known to need restatement, but a few cases
illustrating that fact, recently compiled by
an anonymous writer, are interesting.
His list begins with horse, Seabis-
cult, winner of $437, 73O in five years, or an
average of S87 ,546 year.
Babe Ruth, the baseball slugger, earn
ed more than a million dollars during his
q years as a player.
Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, has
pulled down more than a million bysmaul-.
ing his opponents into insensibility brother
stages of quietus in the last three years.
Greta Carlo, Swedish girl who found
it hard to learn English or to smile, has
earned $4,6O0,OOO in less than Is years.
The person selected to illustrate the
other side of the picture is DR.. Harry Steen-
book, Wisconsin-born professor of bio
chemistry, whose researches with vitamin
D and ultraviolet rays have saved thou
sands of children from the crippling eff
fects of ricketts,, and will benefit millions
yet unborn.
During the 80 years since his grad
uation from college it is estimated that DR..
Steenbock has earned an average of about
$4,000 year.

CONVENTION PLANS ADVANCE

Following a period of apparent idle
ness in planning for the forthcoming Am
erican Legion state convention in Key
West next year, the apparency was denied
this week when a joint committee of
legiOnnaires and Chamber of Commerce
officials appeared before the County
Board and presented the need for con-
tribution to assist the Convention Corpora
ton in its plans.
Granting of 1000 to the group came
as good news to those who have been
working quietly right along in perfecting
the initial steps necessary to insure profit
able convention from every standpoint.
The commissioners are to be congratulated
for their fOresightedness in the matter The
step taken, The Citizen feels, will prove a
profitable one for the city and county.
The Legion convention, as has been
stated before, is the largest single en-
deavOr of its kind ever to be undertaken
by Key West and its success will mean
much towards bringing similar events to
the city.
Operating without benefit of a Con-
vention Bureau, the Key West citizens who
have banded themselves together into the
corporation are planning on cooperative
action from all organizations of the city to
make the convention, now eight months
CT, a credit to the city and means to
spread the news statewide that Key West
stands ready and able to entertain any
size, similar gathering.
It's a mar sized job this group is at
tempting A thousand and one tasks
await performance. And it's not bit too
soon to prepare the major part of planning
steps to be taken. The action taken this
week was oppOrtune and its success means
that the corporation can start off on the
right foot of at least partial financial
stability
Legionnaires are pointing out the
good possibility of conducting the coming
convention to match that held at Fl.
Lauderdale two years ago. similar cor
poration had charge of the state meet in
that city then, and, according to state
ment now in the hands of local Legion Of
ficials, a good-sized profit was realized
from income coming into the Golfers of the
group, over. expenses.
The Citizen joins all of Key West in
pledging all possible support to this worthy
venture. The thing now is to ascertain
what we can do to help, and then prepare
to deliver

TARGET SHOOTING" DANGEROUS

With the people of the United States
interested in matters of national defense it
is inevitable that little boys will take up
the matter of target practice whenever
they get chance.
This is dangerous. Nearly every day,
or two, some little boy in the nation loses
his life in shooting accident. Parents of
Key West might take the hint and caution
their youngsters about the use of firearms.
Adults should always remember that
children do not realize the dangers of
many activities. Target practice, under
proper regulation, is fine but there is great
danger when little boys borrow a gun
somewhere and take up target shooting on
their own.

In our youth it was firmly impressed
en- US that every American boy had an
equal chance to become President. While
few entertained such high aspiration, it
was symbolic of American opportunities
and American rights. But if President
Roosevelt continues to perpetuate himself
in office through the vast patronage at his
command, what chance is there for any
one else to occupy the presidential chair?
