WASHINGTON = It is an un- published but tragic fact that var icus regional offices of the Securi- ties and Exchange Commission to- day are preparing for an avalanche of bankruptcy cases, expected as a result of the defense program.
 Thousands of little business men, whom the New Deal vowed to help, will have to close their doors because of the dearth of raw ma terials; and the SEC, established to aid in the registration of new business, is now charged with the feb of officiating at the funeral.
 Companies manufacturing ena- mel, now considered a luxury; cash registers, now not so essential; bi- cycles and scores of other con- modities, are having increasing diff ficulty getting steel, copper, brass and other essential metals.
 Meanwhile, in Washington, FloyG Odlum, who once fought the SEC in a terrific struggle. has signed truce and is in charge of new office to save little business. Od- lum was one of the biggest opera tors on Wall Street. amassed mil lions. But this is the toughest op- eration he has ever tackled.

WA SHIN GTON, Nov. 14.-- President Roosevelt, in asking CIO United Mine Workers and steel company heads to continue their negotiations to avert strike in the nations captive coal mines, today told them, "the government never will com pei a minority of non-union miners affected by the dispute to join the union.'
 q tell you frankly" he added, "the government of the United States will not order nor will Congress pass legislation order ing the so-caIled closed shop"
 The union is asking the closed shop in the captive mines, which are owned and operated by the steel companies for their own use. The mines supply coal to steel mills which are busy with defense orders.
 The President asked the mine union leaders and steel company representatives to give him report of their agreement to continue production by Monday or at least report progress.
 Shortly after the Presidential request was made, a spokesman

:: SOCIETY ::
Fashion Show At Casa Marina
Last Night Was Grand Success

The annual Fashion Show Of
the Senior and Junior Women:
Clubs of Key West was presented
at the Casa Marina last night in 9
setting of tropical splendor
Everything conspired toward per-
lection. 1t was balmy night. A
full moon rode high in a starry
sky, silvering the palm trees. The
floodlight on the loggia where the
models were first presented and
the fairy lanterns outlining the
line of march down the path to the
sea were the only other illumi-
nation. The lawns were thronged
with an enthusiastic audience.
Dave Carson conducted the
Casa Marina orchestra with ap-
propriate music; the soft murmur
of the sea and a gentle breeze in
the palm trees adding a soft I'M
dertone.
e 1t was incredibly beautiful and
Mrs. Frederick w. Knapp, presi-
dent of the Senior Woman's Club,
and her aides, Mrs. Joseph Lopez,
president of the Junior Woman's
Club, Mrs. Al Mills, Mrs. William
Warren and George Mills White,
are to be congratulated. 1t should
be a source of much satisfaction
to them that their efforts and long
hours of work have been so richly
rewarded.
Key West has reason to be
proud, too, of her pretty daugh-
tiers. They surely did justice to
the clothes they modelled, which
were so lavishly furnished by the
leading establishments in town.
As each model appeared, George
Mills White, in presenting her, by
name, gave short description of
the gown modelled, and its shop
of origin; whereupon the model
paraded down the path to the sea
and back again, pausing a moment
at three points to piroIette and
show her costume. The models
were obviously in their element
and their performance would
have done justice to seasoned
manniquins.
Some very attractive bathing
suits were the first to be shown,
followed by a presentation of gay
playsuits. The Stacks outfits were
very nifty, the street clothes
smart and good looking, but best
of all were the evening clothes.
Most of them were diaphanous
and frilly, others chic and sophis-
ticated.
As a grand finale to a splendid
show, Sylvia Roberts, gowned in

caro- HUESO
BY Katherine Ann Fitzgerald

Where but along the ocean
highway of the Florida Keys
could Snake Creek be an ocean
and Gulf welding? At night,
through hurricane torn gap in
the lost bridge, a corner of the
heavy star-quilted sky dips into
the sea. Here, a sunny manana,
magic melody of soft air., blue
skies, and scintillating water.
Coral island Key West-the
Bone Key, Cayo Hueso-has the
significance of natures lavish
beneficence and stern disciplin-
ing woven into it's romance and
the fascination of Spanish influ-
ence in its new old charm. In the
brilliant sun rich bougainvillaea,
bright hibiscus and oleander
splash against the white, YER
andared, chimneyless houses of
West Indian design. Dignified
yachts ride serenely against the
horizon and fishing boats hunt
the gorgeous sailfish and the
vicious barracuda while wise
eyed pelicans police the shallow
water beyond white beach.
Cuban bands with their gourd
maracas send subtle rhythm into
the cool night air and light chinks
through the shutters of the hur-
ricane-greyed shacks. The stiff
rustic of palms in trade winds
mingles with the soft sound of
water pushing onto shore. Before
on this exotic American
isle cocks, offsprings from the
crow a biblical three
times.

BILLIONS FOR PROGRESS.

Accustomed as we are to astro-
nomical figures, here's fact that
should impress anyone: the life
insurance industry has reserves
and assets totaling $2S,OOO,OO,-
COO.
That money Is largely invested
in industrial securities, in govern
ment bonds. in home and agricul-
tural loans, in everything that
keeps this country going and its
people working. That money, in
short, is helping to keep Ameri-
ca ticking. And not one cent of it
came out of a government treas
ury.
That is part of life insurance's
vast contribution to the welfare
of the country as whole. 1t is
an example of what private enter
prise means to us all.
