These figures reveal that the problem

EVERY MAN TO HIS OWN CALLING

Key West, in common with other
cities throughout the country, has its rock
ing-chair strategists who are convinced
they know just what tactics to pursue to
win the war.
No truer adage was ever uttered than
Every man to his own calling" Here are
two stories that bear out that point: 3.r.
Horse mackerel or ceros were biting
almost as fast as ones baitedI hook struck
the water at point hundred yards south
of the Wisteria, derelict that lay on the
Curry's wharf =s.-x -
The writer had tried to get live pill
chards for bait, but they were scarce, and
Peter Roberts said, '"Tomtates are just as
good"
So the writer arrived at the fishing
grounds with small car of tomtates, hook
ed on one and threw his line overheard.
Tommy Thompson, one OF the fishermen
at the drop pulled in mackerel as fast as
he could bait his hook and throw it over
board. Pilchards were Tommy's bait.
Not a mackerel struck at the writer's
his line rebaited it and threw it overheard
again. Still not strike,and Tommy kept on
pulling 'em in.
"Say," Tommy called out, what are
you using for bait?''
"Tomtates. Peter Roberts says they're
just as good as pilchards.'
The writer, from where he sat, detect
ed a knowing flash in Tommy's eyes. peter
Roberts," Tommy remarked so dryly the
words must have parched his lips, sis the
fastest fish scaler in Key West
More than 400 years ago, Cellini, the
great Italian goldsmith, sculptor and master
worker in a dozen and one other branches
of art, visited, on his first trip to Paris,
Pietro Bembo, who was then and had been
for many years Italy's outstanding literary
figure.
Cellini consented to make miniature
of Bembo, who,, four years later, in 1889,
was made cardinal by Pope Paul, III.
Two hours after Cellini had started to
model Bembos head, that great writer ex-
claimed in admiration, What a master
piece! Well done, my dear Benvenuto!''
In commenting on Bembo's exclamation,
Celini said ~, Is
q had barely started to work. Instead
of completing it in two hours, it would re-
quire 200 hours to bring it to state of per-
pection Bembo stood aloof and alone in
his calling, but he knew nothing about
mine"
So those rocking-chair strategists,
some of whom have never fired gun in
their lives, should leave it to our military
leaders, who are trained in the "art" Of
war, as Peter Roberts is trained in scaling
fish and Petro Bembo was trained in writ
ing to plan and wage the campaigns that
ultimately will crush Germany, Italy and
Japan.

There are innumerable gadgets

those that are sharp enough are
too short - and there IS no nope

Of course you can send Willie

you might as we'll ask her for a
