City Votes To Purchase
Another Vessel To Re-
place Boat Operated By
Sanitary Department

The City Council at a special
meeting last night voted to urge
Mayor Willard M. AlburY to
have members of the police force
make a complete check of BIZ
cycles throughout the city not
having a license tag.
It was shown at the meeting
last night. that there are approx
mately 5000 bicycles in Key
West. with only about 5000 hav-
ing licenses.
1t was also requested that the
mayor have the police make .
survey of automobiles operating
without proper license as il
was shown there are only about
2.400 having the current tag out
of a possible $500 cars now op-
Grating in Key West.
The Council has asked for i'm
mediate action by the Mayor on
these matters, with a hope that it
may result in having the police
round up all violators in this con-
nection, all of whom will be sub
ject to arrest if they are operating
without the required license tag.
A letter was read from Mrs.
Walter Lowe offering to sell to
the city a vessel for use in the
sanitary department to replace
the boat that is now in operation,
but which is badly in need of re-
placement. The price asked is
$3.50. The Council voted to pur-
chase the vessel provided that it
proves satisfactory as to its sea-
worthiness. The boat will be
placed on the ways where a ship
carpenter will make an inspection
of the hull and other parts, after
which he will make report of his
findings to the Council body.
e The Council voted to approp-
riate $500 to be used in having a
bulldozer machine clear off the
remaining portion of the city
grounds near the old incinerator
site on Flagler Avenue, adjacent
to the proposed Baseball Stadium.
The remaining part is just off the
stadium grounds, which is now
being used as a trash dump pile.
The Council upon application
from the Key West Realty Com
pany, with Attorney Aquilino
Lopez, Jr. representing the cor
poration, made an adjustment on
some of its taxes on acreage
DIOPSIty WtllCll IDS OCGii diNlOGQ
into lots and placed on the tax
books for the current year. The
Realty Company also agreed to
pay their taxes on a portion of
their land holdings, provided that
the city would allow them to set
tie on a particular tract at pro-
portionate rate of the entire tract.
The Council agreed to accept pay
ment on these conditions.
Other properties of the land
company relative TO taxation we're
taken up for discussion, with no
action taken, the council deciding
to defer action until later date in
order that the members of the
body may have further time TO
study the matter.

Under treatment, the victim
sooner or later finds out that
there is no one treatment that
is specific.
The entire body and the habits
of life must be treated.
Body mechanics can be cor

better shoes, and this is plainly
logical treatment in view of the
fact that the weight-bearing

he so far finds it successful.
BY working and turning over their
earnings as a "nest-egg for use when
they emerge from the school the boys are
gaining two advantages. In the first place,
they gain the satisfaction of making
money at an honest job.
Secondly, the money will permit the
youths to get on their feet when they are
turned loose to seek place in society.

THE principal differences be-

THE principal differences be-
tween the two common
forms of chronic joint disease,
generally called arthritis, are in
the age incidence and in the
cause.
The form which occurs in
young people and which we dis
cussed yesterday seldom begins
after the age of IS.
1t usually comes on gradually,
affects a good many joints at
once and runs a course of vari-
able duration, but causing al
most complete disability during
its activity.
The chronic arthritis of mid
die age manifests itself by
periods of comparative relief.
A middle-aged gaffer may have
a bad spell with his finger ends
or his back for a while. and
then he is up and about and
tending to his duties.
If he is lucky, he sells out and
goes to Arizona or Southern
California, and you will find him
in the park playing bowls.
Then some day he just watches
the others playing bowls, and
then for while he doesn't show
up at all.
Then one morning again he is
on the job, spry as robin and
yelling for a game of bowls.
EVERYBODY has a little of
~ this arthritis if he lives
long enough. Maybe il only
shows up on a rainy or foggy
day.
In sunny Southern California,
where l spend about a third Of
the year, / will bet a good round
sum that / can find bunch of
my cronies, no matter how linn
Der they appear ordinarily, and
sleep them in house down on
the beach. and during the morn
ing fog they will rub their backs
or knees, making a wry face
and hobble around as stiff as
hat rack, and not really feel
good till the sunny California
sun comes out about noon or 3
p. m.
Nobody knows the cause of
this form of arthritis any more
than they know the cause of the
youthful form.
Neither infection, focal infec-
ton, lack OF vitamins, lack of
endocrines, nutrition, govt, high
blood pressure or anything else,
although all have their adher-
ents among the doctors. can be
proved TO account for all fea-
lures of the condition.

peace, when a lowly laborer can win the
same recognition as a director.
But more than that, it should bring
home to each one of us that he has mind

At this time especially, we should think

They may never cause any

A MOTHER reason why the adj
"A ministration was able to
trim farm bloc power is that
several farm bloc senators are
up for reelection this year, and
loyalty to Mr.. Roosevelt was
made the test in the voting.
The administration. with all
its power to help,its friends and
hurt those who vote mo" can
be formidable enough TO come
between a senator and his con-
stituents.
A third factor was the farm
bloc knowledge that radical in
flationary desires were apparent
in its stand on technically loose
ground. The bloc feared that it
might permanently lose prestige.
Any one of the three explana-
tons should have been enough
to leave Mr.. Roosevelt with
fairly free reins in the fina
form Of the legislation.
THE idea has been advanced
Il that the farm bloc revolt
would lead this country to die
tatorship, one-man rule.
It was assumed that the farm
bloc would disgrace Congress
with the country and enable Mr..
Roosevelt to assume one-man
control.
In five weeks the people will
express themselves in the demo-
cratic way and bring a demo-
cratic result.
QUITE a contest is brewing
W between Paul V. McNutt,
manpewer commission chairman,
and General Hershey's draft
headquarters over who will ham
die the labor distribution pro-
gram which is coming up, like
so many other important prob
lens, after election.
A few congressman have al
ready tiptoed up to Harry Hop
kins, the Presidents third ear.
to question Mr.. McNutts plans
to handle that draft through his
social security organization.
The congressman particularly
criticize Chairman Altmeyer of
the social security board. whose
social opinions have aroused
doubts among non-New Dealing
legislators.
The argument for the Hershey
draft boards is that they are of
a more jud icia ] nonpolitical
nature.
Thus the battle is already on
within the administration and in
Congress, although ii has not
reached the point of open dis
cusSion.
DOTH these organizations, Of
- course. agree that labor
should be conscripted.
The ideal democratic way OF
meeting the section labor
shortages would be something
else again
II might be a democratic
board, made up of representatives
from industry and labor fairly
distributed as TO little and big
war and non-war industry. with
proportionate representation for
the vast field of non-union labor
as well as farmers.
If a large board of men who
know the technical problems in
volved were given the informa-
ton collected by the McNutt-
Hershey draft questionnaires, ii
could ascertain both where men
are needed and where they are
available and could direct local
appeals TO meet the situation.
using the draft only in difficult
cases if at all.
This idea may gain some favor
in Congress, but those who have
spoken for the administration
all favor a draft.
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected by
congressman 10 announce his
policy in a message Immediately
after election.

Farm Bloc
Ou+smarted
By Roosevelt
White House Had Odds
All in IFS Favor
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The
w White House was able TO
cut into the power OF the farm
bloc on this farm price-wage in
crease limit bill for several rea-
sons.
No. l is that it did not matter
much anyway.
The only real issue was
whether farm prices would be
boosted from 108 per cent of
parity. which they are now, up
to 116 per cent. as President
Rooseyelt's plan proposes, or
whether they should be boosted
another 4 10 II per cent beyond
that, as the farm bloc proposed.
The most striking fact of the
whole battle was that no one
stressed the point that they are
to be tilted up sharply in either
case.
THE congressional debate ran
Il off in all directions about
various PARTIES" and labor costs
which could not be estimated,
while no one chose TO run down
10 earth what the proposals
would mean in dollars and cents
added TO existing prices.
To find that out, one had TO
apply all the various complicated
formulas TO each current price
and the highest price of each
product since last January l.
and none of the debaters did this.
What was really a price in
crease bill tand, therefore. also
a wage increase bill, to the ex-
tent that wages have been tied
to the cost of living by the adj

Two Milford families were made
happy last Saturday by the unex-

East.
When Mrs. Imly Abbott, Washing

of her last Saturday morning after
sweeping the porch she was startled
to see a U. S. Navy sailors hat on
the dining room table. She ran up
stairs and found her son, Imly Jr.,
asleep in his bed which she has kept
ready for him since his enlistment in
the Navy.
He had arrived home on furlough
during the night, and entered the
home without awakening his parents.
Imly, who is a mechanic, was on
the destroyer "Downes" when she was
sunk at Pearl Harbor. He was shaw
ing at the time, when his boat was
struck. He escaped unhurt
He was later transferred to an
