Living in Small House

Even a very small house is big
enough for the average modern
family. if it does not hoard too
many things. The old timers used
to jam their attics with discarded
furniture, and all their rooms with
many things they did not need.
People can live comfortably in a
small home, if the unused furni-
ture is sold, given to charity, or
placed on the bonfire. The travel
er who carries only suit case gets
along most comfortably, and the
same is true of the family that is
satisfied with few belongings.

THoUGHTFuLNEss

Council made two appropriations this
month which passed without comment
They were small allotments totalling only
$50. On the surface they seem relatively
unimportant, and yet. we like to think they
will bring great returns to Key West.
The first of the two appropriations was
$50 donation to purchase football equip
menet for boys. The second made this week
allocated 500 to improve q baseball
field.
These appropriations are as important
in way as any ever made by any city
council.
They are important for great many
reasons. the least of which is that it viii
keep the boys off the streets.
There is the impressive argument that
the boys will be made to feel, in manner
they understand best, that the city fathers
and the city policemen are their friends and
not their enemies
The English are fond of repeating that
the British soldier is made on the rugby
field. If that is so, then it can be said that
the American soldier is made on the base
ball diamond and football gridiron.
1t is with a feeling of sadness and a
sad commentary on these times that ones
thoughts unconsciously turn to soldiers and
war even when the subject deals with peace
full sports.
We are glad council acted so promptly
in making these two ALLEGATIONS, but above
all. we feel there is a more important, i'm
mediate reason.
A dark, dismal, violent future faces
our lads of today. 1t is they who face the
uninviting prospect of suffering and per-
haps dying in world they never made.
The reason, we confess, is that We want
to see the boys have as good time as they
are able while they are able.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

(The Philadelphia Dispatch)
There is great deal of talk about freedom
of the seas But in fact there has been no freedom
of the seas for several centuries and there win be
no freedom of the seas for some time to come
perhaps additional centuries.
During the first world war there was talk of
freedom of the seas. Before the United States en-
tered President Wilson's government was protest
ing to England for interfering with cur commerce
and then later with the German Empire for sink
ing our ships. The freedom of the seas was one of
the fourteen cardinal points yet nothing was done
about # when it came time for writing the peace

bEIntIy informed President Wilson that Great
Britain could not subscribe to the doctrine Of free
dom of the seas Great Britain wiz not subscribe to
it after this war IS over although she Of course

There is reason for Great Britain's refusal to
subscribe to the doctrine Of freedom of the seas
The British Isles have TO import most Of their food
and It must come from across the seas Il IS there
fore vital to Britain that she keep control Of the
sea-lanes To fail to do 50 would invite starvation

For JOAN Bull therefore to accepet full freedom of
the seas would be to commit national suicide and
he IS too smart TO do that
It IS likely that after the war S over Great

she desires to see enjoy the luxury -
The Nazis have of course never been for free

ocean lanes to starve out England and complete
their conquest In doing this the ships of the
