thing. Hikers might take walks
through you for another, and, with
winter here, some thrifty family
might decide to chop you down for
firewood.
There are no end of dangers to
smelling too much like a Scottish
moor. Some equity old earl or duke
might build shooting lodge on
you, or Hollywood might use you
for melodramatic setting, and
you'd have escaped convicts from
Dartmoor running up and down
your back, and Hitchcock direct

AS for cognac-well, most men
would like to have the money they
have spent on chewing gum, cloves,
minis and the like, to keep from
smelling like cognac or associated
spirits

smell as If he had money in the
bank, was planning to build a new
home, and was thinking Of getting

a gal that here was a man all

would leave that pine forest or
that heather and gcrse man fat,

tain shaving soap, or dabbing drop
or two of cologne on his banker
chief, or seeming his bath water
with a particular oil or salts, man
can come close to smelling like just
about anything he chooses.
If he wants to smell like a bat
tleship being launched, all he has
to do is pay a couple Of bucks for
some stuff in fancy bottle and
presto!-he can almost feel himself
being hit over the head by bottle
of champagne and sliding down the
ways.
If the girl he goes with has a
fondness for the scent of a piano
being tuned, he can get a cologne
that will achieve this effect.
The main object of the cosmetic
manufacturers, though, seems to be
to get American men smelling like
some part of the great out-of doors.
This bottle will make a man smell
like pine forest. This shaving
soap will enable the user to give off
an odor of misty, wet, cold. Scot
fish moor, heavy with gorse and
heather. This cologne will make
man smell like rare, old cognac.
To me, to smell like any Of these
things would have very definite dis
advantages. A pine forest, for ex-
ample. Birds would be very likely

doing a good job-because he Is. 1T
- Is to say that for job which could
be done by other available men for
example. Maj. Gen. William J. Dom
ovan, recently resigned as Mr.. Jack
sons aide, who had different views
as to procedure but certainly equal
ability to present., it is pity to 60
to the Supreme Court. For that
does not advantage the detached
justice or the court or the country.
AS for the first, it never seems to
work out well. Certainly, few will
contend that his Pearl Harbor as
signment enhanced the reputation
Of former Justice Owen j. Roberts.
And strong argument can be made
that, while undoubtedly he would
have missed lot of travel and ex-
element, in the long run Secretary
OF State Byrnes would have been
better off had he stuck to the court
and is likely to wish he had.
Criticism Already Heard.
AS to the second, loss in this way
Of one member adds to the burdens
of the other members of the court,
makes 1t more difficult for it to have
dependable functioning quorum
and detracts from its traditional dig
nifty and aloofness.
AS to the country, no one will con-
terd that the obviously increased
probabilities of those 4-to-3 Su-
preme Court decisions, one of which
was delivered few days ago, is
beneficial to the national interest.
1t can be taken for granted that
Mr.. Jackson, soon or late, will
bring this trial to a successful con-
clusion, but it can be doubted that
there will be general satisfaction.
AT the moment, there is criticism
on several points.
1t Is contended-perhaps unfairly
that we lean too far over in the
effort to give these Nazi monsters
no cause to complain that their
rights" are not observed; that
they have too much license to give
out interviews and express their
opinions; that the trials are too long
drawn out; that our propaganda is
not effective and the German peo-
pie, as whole, are unimpressed
and, in fact, uninterested by the
dramatic recital of the Nazi atroc-
tiles, the overwhelming evidence
and the extraordinary demonstra-
ton Of American fairness in the ad-
ministration ;of justice.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Jackson,s
conception Of the prosecution is a
grand one, but the statement is
made that it is not fully appreciated
by the people of this country, not
understood by the Germans and
not admired by our Allies. Thus,
when it is all over, Mr.. jackson,
after months of hard work and
strain, may return to his seat on the
Supreme Court, asking himself
whether he should not have stayed
there.
keenan, Placed on Par.
He, OF course, will have had a
great experience, but In the end he
may wonder whether, as they say
on the Eastern Shore OF Maryland,
was 1t wuff It."

GIVE US HATCHERIES

In several parts of Florida a move
ment is underway to protect further the
fish and shellfish industries in the waters
of the state in order to conserve certain
species of fish and all kinds of shellfish.
Much could be done in the waters of
Monroe county for shellfish by establishing
hatcheres in Key West, as was done by
Conservation Commissioner T. R. Hodges in
1881 when he had two crawfish hatcheries
here. &
Millions of baby crawfish were dis
ltributed in nearby waters, chiefly in the
vicinity of banks and shoals. and few
years later crawfish. were as,plentifuI here
abouts as they had been at the turnsof the
century. -. .E.'f..,
The stonecrab is so near extinction it
probably would require several years,
through the use of a hatchery, to increase
the number to an appreciate extent.
AS recent as 20 years ago, one could
go across the channel, at point off Curry's
wharf, to the American bank and catch so
or more StOnecrabs while the tide was ebb
ing, but at present it is doubtful if that
number of crabs could be caught at all the
banks within a radius of 20 miles.
The writer recalls an afternoon, 20
years or so ago, when he teamed up with
John Roberts, and T9onky Roberts teamed
up with Jack Deneritt TO determine which
team could catch the, larger narnber Of
stonecrabs, in walking one length of the
American bank One team eIlbse the east
side of the bank and thee 6ther2the west
side and when. theserabs were 'eoqqp}tleed, in
one sack were Sd and the other 81" To-day
it is doubtful if two teams, in walking the
bank, could catch stOnecrab apiece.
The only hope of saving the stOnecrab
from extinction in the waters of the Florida
Keys is to establish one or more hatcher
les. At the same time it would be an ex-
celent idea to give us hatcheries for craw-
fish also.

FINISHED WITH GERMANS

I'VE are finished with the Germans
in Czechoslovakia,' declares Foreign Min
lister Jan Masaryk, indicating that the Ger
mans will be expelled, however much the
government may be criticized
The Czechoslovakian also reported
that ninety percent of the Soviet troops
have left his country and that while there
have been some excuses and some COM
plants by the Czech people. this has al
ways been the story Of occupying armies
throughout history.
In view of the duplicity revealed by
German documents, in connection with
German relations to Czechoslovakia in pre-
war days, we doubt if any reasonable in
dlvldual will be inclined to criticize the
Czech government for insisting upon get
ting rid of German residents. If these
suffer, it is unfortunate, but they have only
their own people and their government to
blame.

VETERANS WANT HOMES

1t is now announced that the govern
ment will resume priority controls over
building materials in an effort to channel
them into the home building field and it is
noted that many BODYBUILDING concerns
which demanded abolition of controls some
months ago are now clamOring for their
return.
In view of the shortage of housing
units and the expected demand of a mil
lion returning service men for houses it is
time that the government took positive
action in this field. The veterans should
be given priority and whatever assurances
the government can give that they, will be
able to build homes at reasonable cost.
What it is bad for the morale of any
body not to be able to construct, a home
for family use it is worse for man to re-
turn to this country, after years of fighting
for the nation, to discover that there is no
way in which he can provide home for
his family.

the spectre of world dominated by the

shoulders in the so-called best families of
the nation.
It is somewhat surprising, therefore,
to read what Barnet Mover has to say about
the situatioh in Europe, where, despite a
Continent cold, hungry, roofless and dis
illusiOned, which should be ripe for COM
munism, communism is making very little
headway."
In Austria according to columnist
Mover, the recent election revealed the
overwhelming rejection of communism
both in industrial centers and in rural areas.
Moreover, the Russians, to their credit,
made not the slightest attempt to inter-
fere with or influence the voting.
Despite the great part the Russians
played in liberating Austria, the lead TAX
ell by the Soviet in setting up the Renner
government, and in recognizing it, the
Russian zone of occupation showed the
nsafae result, that was current throughout
austria against communism.
Maybe it is time for world capitalists
to crawl from under their beds and get
the system of private enterprise working
to compete with the thing called commun-
ism.

DID HITLER TEACH US ANYTHING?

Saving that Adolf Hitler has taught
us something of the amazing powers OF

that Der Fuehrer Eat least conceived those

as he coldly and mercilessly educated his
people for death.
The point is worth considering but we

of human perversion, that appeals to preju-
