This is that discouraging, in-be-
tween season when it Is too soon to
start looking for spring finery in
spite of the fact that our winter
clothes have become disgustingly
familiar not only to ourselves but
to our friends. The only solution
lies in a bit Of clever disguise which
can be accomplished with a little
thought and virtually no expense.
Brighten Up Your Wardrobe
Take, for instance, that old black
dress-or the green or blue one for
that matter. A starchy white pique
collar will go far toward making 1t
look pert and new-0r a lingerie
touch at the throat and wrists will
give it daintiness you didn't dream
It could possess. And your suit that
you have been wearing straight
through the winter and have felt a
bit threadbare-send it to the clean
ers to get the sag out of the skirt
and put the crease back in the
sleeves and then shop around in the
seasons end sales until you find a
blouse that is completely unlike any
you have worn with it before. The
combination will make you feel that
you have an entirely new outfit and
you'll probably decide to wear it
right into the spring. Stop in at
the five-and-ten or any other conven-
lent notions counter and pick up a
bangle or two to break the line of
any number of old dresses. A string
of brightly colored beads. a new
5ingly bracelet or an unusual belt
can add just the needed touch of
dash to dress that you had thought
Out-moded.

WATER VERSUS HIGHWAY

The race is on, the outcome of which
doesn't bother Key West one bit, for no
matter which side wins, this city is going
to be gamer. Then, tOO-it's sure shot
that the winner will be followed across the
finish line by the loser, and that event,
too, will come as welcome news.
The race which we describe has refer
ence to the talk around town regarding
which will arrive in Key West first-fresh
water from the mainland, or completion
of the Overseas Highway over the old
railroad right-of-way. One can see, from
this explanation, just how much concerned
Key Westers are with the outcome of the
race Both, they feel, are sure to come.
It's simply matter of which will cross the
finish line first.
News release Tuesday of the $4,000
900 appropriation by House committee,
at the request of the Navy department, for
full authority to construct the pipeline, was
welcomed here with widely scattered
cheers. The navy's assertion that they
want fresh water in Key West within II
months may mean that this contestant in
You can't count the highway cause
out of a strong bid for first place. Various
agencies have been quietly at work in this
city during the past month in an effort to
have the highway declared a military
road-a cause, incidentally, that has been
championed by The Citizen for a long
while. Their efforts appear about to bear
fruit
Add to that the assurance given The
Citizen only yesterday that Governor Cone
has been heard to state recently that he sis
going to see to it that Key West gets its
highway 1t is reported that he was
much pleased with the vote given him in
the first primary-and that, as all know, is
just about the same as getting any politi-
clan on any side.
There's one thing, however, that ap-
pears to favor the fresh water contestant
in the race. 1t looks like the Florida Keys
Aqueduct Commissions cooperation with
the Navy department may bring quicker
action on that project than can be OBJ
tanned on the highway.
However-there are bets being placed
On either entry in the race. AS for US
we're neutral, and acknowledgement.

SALUTING THE FLAG

In an 8 to l decision the United States
Supreme Court has ruled that state laws
requiring school children to salute the
American Flag on certain occasions are
legal and must be observed At this par
ticular time, when so many communities
are honeycombed with disloyal elements,
this decision is most praiseworthy
The decision was rendered because
of the refusal of members of a certain
peculiar religious sect to allow their chill
dren to salute the flag, on the silly ground
that such salute was form of idolatry
Paying such a slight mark of respect to the
flag is not worship of piece of red, white
and blue fabric; it is a salute to what the
flag represents and the protection it af-
fords to all who are so fortunate to live
under our form of government.
We have too long tolerated peculiar
people who accept the benefits of free
country, yet are unwilling to show respect
for it, or fight to preserve it when the
necessity arises. And this brings to mind
the sO-called conscientious objectors,' y
who seek to evade military service. Most
of them are not conscientious at all, but
arrant towards and slackers, who would
see their neighbors do the fighting for a
dollaE day, while the DIRECTORS draw high
wages in safe employment, such as making
munitions, as many of them did in the last
war.
Teaching children to salute the flag is
merely a simple and wholesome lesson in
patriotism. Parents who object to it are
deserving of scorn from every loyal citizen.

LOOKING MUST BE GOOD

Commercial television has been bar
red by the Federal Communications Com
mission until the industry agrees on unified
transmission standards. The National
Broadcasting Company has made an ap-
pIcation to erect a station in Washington
and they are being held up by the Com
munications Commission which says that
"the public should not be inflicted with
a hodge-podge of different television
broadcasting and receiving systems. That
action of the Government Commission is
based on the ground that several broad
casting stations are now in existence and
that they are '.experimenters" using diff
ferent transmission standards.

Tax raids continue and will until we
become more tax conscious and endeavOr
to stem the tide. An eye opener is this
revelation: the taxes imposed on the peo-
pie of this country last year amounted to
the entire income Of all persons living
west of the Mississippi river Imagine the
vastness of that portion of the United
States, all the people in it and their pro-
digious production. Yet if all the inhabi-
tants of this prolific section of our country
had given the government everything they
raised, or manufactured, or mined, or
fished and kept absolutely nothing for
themselves, it represents what we were
taxed last year. Now with the war emer-
gency in the offing, the government will
have to encroach on the east of the Mis-
sissippi river. Even then we will not be
solvent It is apparent, in view of the
above what the conrtry needs most is a
business man and not a politician in the
presidential chair.
