Several Key West women have
rallied to the call for office as
sistants much to the qualification
of Mrs. Helen Cutter, volunteer
special services staff assistant
chairman, of the Key West Chap
ter, American Red Cross.
"These staff assistants fill an
important niche in the days of
flee routine and take over many
of the necessary tasks thus leav-
ing the trained staff free for the
more specialized duties. Mrs.
Cutter added.
1--WE are especially thankful for
the many wives of seryicemen
stationed here, who have from
time to time volunteered their
services, even though they were
only to be in Key West a short
time. Without them we could not
have as efficiently carried out
the increasing volume of de-
mands made upon a Red Cross
Chapter in wartime"

ROME, Italy.-Italy, bankrupt
ed by almost 10 years of contia-
uous warfare which began in
Ethiopia, approaches her first
postwar winter eenvulsed by
political strife, fearful and uncer-
tain about the future and unable
to solve critical economic needs
without Allied assistance.
In the coming year Italy may
make the most radical decision in
her rs years of history as a uni
fled nation - whether to throw
out the Italian monarchy in fav-
or of republic. This year. too,
she may learn the fate of her
colonies - the price in formal
peace treaty terms of her adj
venture with Fascism. She may
learn whether she will be ac-
copied finally as one of the Unit
ed Nations. Her declaration of
war on Japan may affect that
decision.
These are the things headlined
daily in the press, but to the
man in the street-Selling his
clothes, furniture and heirlooms

the bloated lira-the problems of

SPRAYING OF CHEMICAL TO R0UT
MOSQUITOES PROVES BIG SUCCESS

DOT, the federal govern
ment's wonder chemical. has
been used with marvellous re-
suits in Key West, according to
j. Roland Adams.
He said that, a few days ago,
vast swarms of flies and mos
quitoes, were in his section of
the city, and that within 10 min
utes after a plane had circled
over that area, releasing the
chemical in an invisible spray,
they had disappeared.
Mr.. Adams son, Gerald Adj
ans, told The Citizen that the
results of the spraying were
among the most surprising things
he had ever experienced.
Zone moment my arms and
face and neck were covered with
mosquitoes, and short time
after the plane had done its work
the mosquitoes had Disappeared
The formula for the chemical
was Determined on after this
country had entered the war,
and it had been guarded closely
as war secret. 1t has been used
combating malaria in mosquito
infested areas. It has proved to
be the most effective remedy
in killing out mosquitoes and
other insects, and it is said not
to have any i'll effects on human
beings.

MANY INDUSTRIES
TO CUT OPERATION
FoUR-DAY WEEK BASIS Elk.
PEcTED THIS COMING
WINTER
tBy A..oe,atea Press,

WASHINGTON, July 81.
= 1t was testified at a hear
ing here today that many
American industries, includ-
ing steel mills, will operate
on a four-day week basis the
coming winter because of an
indicated shortage of.37000,-
600 tons of coal.
- Secretary ickes stated That
the only way that the short
age could be offset is if the
army releases 10000 coal
miners to return to work.
Otherwise, he concluded,
the people of the United
States will experience their
coolest winter in 1945-'46
since the beginning of the
war.

quitoeS are malaria carriers
Chat type of mosquito does not
exist in the Florida Keys. and
malaria is not contractible il,
this vicinity, agents of the
United States Public Health
Service are using DOT in houses
as well as outdoors.
Sprayed on the walls of q
room, it is said that the effect
of DOT, in exterminating in
sects, will continue its effective
ness for two months. Used on
clothes, in combating moth
worms, it is stated that the
effect of DOT continues even
after the clothes have been
washed.
When the Japs are knocked
out of the war and the United
States readjusts itself to peace
conditions. great things are ex-
pected of DOT in fighting in
sects that prey on plants and
fruits. j
One Key Wesser said THU,
judging from what he has read
and heard about DOT, its use
will go far in keeping under
control mosquitoes in the Flor
ida Keys. Where the chemical
penetrates, mosquitoes will not
appear for at least two months,
and six sprayings a year will
come near making those pests
non-existent hereabouts.

Pierre Laval was flown from

American folces of occupa-

Before leaving Spain, he
had requested that he be
placedin the hands of Amer

No definite information

Unanimous Vote in

A s3s, 500 ABS, ,95l War Department,
appropriation for the fiscal yeai
beginning July l won unanimous
House approval late yesterday after
a move to force the Army to dis.

dren was defeated.
The big measure, boosting to ap-
proximately $245. .000, ,00o, 900 total
funds made available to the Wal
Department since July l, 1910, went
to the Senate by a voice vote.
There was almost no debate or
the huge money items in the meas.
ure Congress hopes will provide the

but more than two hours were spent
discussing the Army's point system
of discharges and the relative merits
of butter and oleomargarine in q

Representative Engel, Republican
Of Michigan, led the tight to force
the discharge Of fathers. He offered
an amendment to allow any soldier
in the enlisted ranks to obtain hi
discharge by application prior tt
