!. There was so much business
transacted at the meeting of the
Key West Players on February
9th that it looked and sounded
like a big day on the N. Y. Stock
Exchange in, 1929 B. c., but the
large and capable membership
present disposed of everything
neatly by having President Lloyd
appoint all sorts of committees,
which she did with the most reck-
less abandon. The most important
item for you to note, however, is
the change in date of the three
cne-act plays, which really will
be given, no fooling, on March 6
and March 7 in Harris School.
The Players crave your indulg-
ence in such khimsies, but you
know it is extraordinarily dis
concerting to cast play and then
have your leading man suddenly
ordered to the West Coast, or

IN Key West we lifted the lid of
the icebox, and swimming in the
iceWater was a lovely little lizard
a trifle over an inch long; equally
hinged green and black all over,
except for a coral red tail. We
put the little beauty in pint jar
with some Bermuda grass, and in
these Ioomy quarters it warmed
up and climbed about like a mon
key and made a most interesting
tropical scene; and in time we
painted its portrait with those
Surroundings.
But what was it? We could nct
remember any such, and we left
those books at home It's head
was hooded, with the snout pro-
jecting like a beak from under
the hood; not at all like the long
head of the Anolis, the common
green chameleon. Whose baby
could it be? A day or two later
we got the answer, or think we
did. Twenty minutes until din
ner would be ready; and we went
out in the yard and began turn
ing over old boards. My, what a
lot of surprises! But one of them
was brown lizards. two to three
inches long, that scurried away

found several under each of
many stones, and found they had
the same shaped heads as our
gayly dressed baby. We found
out something else too.

New York Sun. One of the groc-
ers found it in a bunch Of ban
anas and gave it to US; and it
was a popular member of our
family for some months. and
seemed to enjoy entertaining the
visitors. He was big and good
natured; as wide as the bowl of
a spoon and longer, and wore a
big policeman's badge on his
chest Well. when we turned over
those boards. here was a whole
family of big Archys. some with
their uniform or and some with
out coats so their ribs showed
at anv rate thew looked like small
armadilloes. This was a surprise,
Now we know these big fellows
are very common here outdoors
under trash. They do not come
into the house. except, like our

learn thew are very fond Of the

there is every reason to believe
that this action grows out of the

abandonment of the Key West
station.
Some of tie best-informed
men in the navy believe that KEY
West and the Virgin Islands
have been sacrificed as gesture
of our good faith in our disarma-
ment talk. The nation could not,
with very good grace, continue
to maintain as many naval sta
tons as she has on the Atlantic
coast and so decided to abandon
Key West, which has fewer po-
litical champions than any other
and the Virgin Islands, which ap-
parently has almost none.
