GREELEY's HANDWRITING

Many stories have been told about the
VIGOROUSLY poor handwriting of Horace
Greeley, the great editor, who founded the
New York Tribune just century ago, in
1841. His writing was constant night
mare to his associates, and especially to the
printers ON the various newspapers which
he published during his journalistic career.
One printer, being given one of Gree
ley's manuscripts to set up for the first time,
exclaimed: my God, if Belshazzar had
seen writing like this ON the wall he would
have been more terrified than he was"
Later, it is said, Greeley wrote a
memorandum to his foreman, telling him to
discharge the same printer because he
made so many typographical errors. Be-
fore leaving the shop, the printer asked to
be allowed to keep the memorandum as a
souvenir. He then carried it to another
foreman, telling him 1t was Recommended
tor from Greeley, and obtained job i'm
mediateiy.
A couple Of years before his death,
Greeley was invited to lecture in Sandwich,
III. He wrote in reply that he was greatly
overworked, and as he would be sixty years
old on February third, he did pot feel able
to accept the engagement. After much
labor in trying to decipher the letter, about
all the committee could make out was the
sixty" and the February third"
Finally they guessed that Greeley
meant to say that he would lecture for sixty
dollars on February third, and they wrote
him that the fee and date named would be
satisfactory

WANT TO BE A SENATOR?

If all of them don't decide to become
Omen, at least few Of the Key West
safety patrol boys and girls probably will
come Tome from Washington next week
NsanC'n g to be senators.
o. course, the presidency is nice work,
100, but if they are going to work their way
up, the senate is a good steady saplaca to
apend six years getting things sets So, for
the edification of prospective Senator's
parents, and since there isn't a Congress
ional Record handy, here's an idea of the
kind Of work they do in the state Legislature
and duplicate in Washington
Right at the moment, there is the Dues
ton of whether BARRIERS should charge the
but the legislature has other things to con-
slider, too.
Here are some of the ones they studied
last week:
A bill to be entitled an act to provide
punishment for the exhibition in the same
enclosure Of animals which by their natural
instincts are antagonistic to each other;
A bill to provide for the punishment
of operators of motor vehicles in this state
who hit or injure any dog and depart from
the scene. of the accident without render
ing such assistance as will safeguard the
life Of the dog se4 se
A bill to punish any person who makes
any false statement to another concerning
any hotel, inn or apartment house with the
intention of inducing such person to enter,
lodge at or to become guest of any other
hotel inn or apartment house;
A bill making it unlawful for the city
Of Miami Beach to employ any person re-
lated to any city councilman or department
head of said city within the fourth degree :;
A bill to prohibit the establishment or
organization of fraternties, sororities or
other secret organizations whose member
ship consists in whole or in part of pupils
enrolled in the public schools of the state of
Florida;
A bill providing for the recovery of
damages by persons bitten by dogs;
A bill changing the name of the town
of River Junction, a municipal corporation,
to "Chatahoochee".
And that's what senate life is made of !!

PULMoroR NEEDED

Editor, The Citizen:
Please allow me a little space
in the forum for the following:
Whenever a drowning occurs in
Key West or vicinity, the question
of puImotor always comes to the
front.
Almost every city along the
east coast from Miami to the tip
of Maine has a pulmotor and hun
dredS of lives have been saved by
them The fire, and police de-
partments of Miami have been
trained to operate these life saw
ing machines, ana they have
proved to be very effective not
only in drownings but in cases of
suffocation. gas poisoning and
electric shock.
AT the scene of the accident on
Trumho Sunday morning, man,
whu'undefStands the operation of
pulmctors. was heard to remark
that there were great possibilities
Of revfving at least one of the un-
fortunate persons who met death
by drowning, if pulmotor had
been available.
Kew West could surely afford at
least one of these apparatuses-
The cost in dollars would be neg
ligibIe when one considers the in
valuable services il will render In
life saving.
The city can well 60 without
something else for while in or
der that a pulmotor be purchased
for. after all. what is more I'M
portant than saying lives.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

see they are talking about
more daylight saving, so as to
have more time for defense. And
in another place / was squirting
at some. figures. where it showed
how many hours different people
work. Most of 'em were around
Z hours but some got down to 6
hours. And nobody works except
5 days in week.
If YOU work 7 hours, it is from
8 to around four thirty, and with
the sun coming up around 6 and
setting around 6, there is already
2 hours excess daylight at each
end.
What everybody is gonna do
with the super-extra daylight saw
ing being proposed, stumps me.
But one fellow told me he thinks
he golf folks are believed the
whole idea. Anybody knows, he
Gays, that the longer the day the
more golf balls you can lose. But
Henry says, 80, did it ever per-
colate through your Uranium that
the shorter the day. the more
double-time YOU get?" You gotta
get uu early to fool Henry.

GREECE WILL LIVE

& The fate of Greece, defeated by the
combined power of Italy and Germany,
should not be needlessly deplored.
The Greek race. throughout the world,
holds It's head high. Once more the soldiers
of the tiny nation have demonstrated their
worthiness of great ancestors and have
placed humanity in their debt through the
example that they have set for OTTER free
men 10 emulate
No reproaeh exists for the armies of
Greece Their heroic struggle against over
whelning odds has added glory TO an illu :
trious history. In the better days that are
to come there will be new Greece, with the
honor and respect of mankind.
