THE PEOPLE DEMAND PROTECTION

Robbery and burglary and sneak thievery have
reached point in Key West where the sheriff and the
city police must do something and do Immediately to
rid the community of this lawlessness. That MUST
comes from the people of Key West 1t is not an exag
geration to say that the of the community are
on edge as result of this of crime without a
single arrest having yet been made to discourage the
criminals
it's no excuse to say, 1--WE can't do this can't
do that because of the supposed inability to employ
to do police duty. Let the mayor designate more
special policemen let the sheriff employ more regular
deputies special deputies If he can't strength
his force to point where the security of the people
of Key West will be assured then let him appeal to the
Governor for help.
The crime wave must be stopped, and the only way
to stop is by concerted police effort. That effort
MUST be made and thousand excuses that it can not
be made will be viewed only with dsdan by the people
of Key West They demand protection and must be
given protection.
The latest of the series of crimes occurred in broad
daylight at important corner in the city woman
pushed down and her handbag stolen and the
culprit escaped.
The people demand protection, and if we can not
get locally let appeal to the Governor This is no
time for excuses.

EVEN MILDEW
LIKES VITAMINS
AP Science Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Powdery
Aildew, the black stuff which
blights flower gardens and food
plants, likes vitamin B-1.
1t likes the vitamin so much
that when the U. S. horticul-
tural field station at La JoIla,
Calf, gave the vitamin to Gu
cumbers to protect them gainst
mildew, the black parasite got
worse. With the aid of the vita
min, the mildew was even able to
attack cucumbers which ordinar-
lily are resistant to this disease.
The vitamin was busted ON
the plant or used as fertilizer in
the soil In both cases the mlldeY
waxed stronger at the expense of
the cucumbers. If the cdcumbers
benefited, their gain was not ap-
parent. The experiment is re-
ported in the scientific agricultur-
al journal, Phytopathology.
The journal comments that
evidently vitamin B-1 is not a
cure-all It has been tried on
many plants. with occasional evil
dence that the vitamin promoted
plant growth. But germs and
molds, the latter themselves
plants, also are often benefited by
B-1 and the journal points out
that there is yet very Ettle infor-
nation on the influence of the vi
tannin on growth of disease.
