Rule Against Drink Declared
Suited to General Application.

To the Editor of The Star:
we pilots are not allowed to drink"
has special significance at the present
time. 1t raises the question: How can
we employ drinkers to help win the
war? Should we allow a man who duls
his wits and slows his reactions with
alcohol to operate a railway engine?
Who wishes to ride in trains behind
such engineers or risk vital oil and am
munition that way?
We can't afford TO allow one whose
eyes are dimmed by alcohol TO drive an
airplane, a railway engine, a streetcar,
or even his own car on public highway.
No matter where we put the drinker
his blackedOut mind is menace to the
lives and war effort of all others. If We
are serious about this war why not ex-
tend the rule to read: I'VE generals are
not allowed to drink. We admirals, we
officers, we soldiers, we sailors are not
allowed to drink?

Critic of Legislators
Expresses Reconciliation.
r. F. WOOD.

TO The Editor OF The Star:
Why do legislators waste precious time
introducing bills to limit the national
debt? The moment the limit had been
reached in the past, a new law was en-
acted to boost it still higher. AS soon
as the higher mark is approached, law
makers get into a huddle to set still
loftier levels, And so on lad inflnitum." a"
Tie starry-eyed brigade might as well
agree on "the sky as limit" and let 1t
go at that. Why not? This at least
would be consistent with the theory that
we can borrow our way to a planned
paradise.

backed by his boundleSs energy.

Club. Gathering around him a
group of men who readily saw
that without a Yacht Club Key
West was like beautiful frame

whom have maintained through
fair and foul weather their loyal
allegiance to the Key West Yacht
