KILLING CROOKED ELECTIONS

Many of those Key Westers who are
adherents Of honest elections had expressed
uneasiness about the reregistration bill
that Representative B. G. Papy said he
would introduce in this session of the legis-
lature, but there is no further cause to en-
terrain that feeling because the bill was
introduced in the House on Tuesday.
What does such a bill, when it be-
comes g law, mean to the people Of Monroe
county? 1t means that hundreds of names
of non-voters on the city's and the county's
registration books will be removed and that
every resident of the city and county will
have to reregister to become qualified
voter. When that is done we will have reg
lstration books that will be truly repre-
sentative of the voters in city and county
Many name of persons who have
died or have left the county has been used
in casting dishonest ballot, but the re-
registration law will put an end to that
practice. And the. voting machines will
stop the stuffing of ballot boxes.
In the city election next November,
whether we have a new charter or the
present one, the candidates who will win
will have been honestly elected. There will
De no grounds Tor complaints about stuff
ng ballot boxes, as was the case in the
l943 election, regarding two precincts in
he city. And when the primary election
rolls around next year, that too will be
conducted honestly.
We have heard some people say that
1he voting machines can he "fixed ~ We
are not aware whether that is true or not,
but of one thing we are certain-there will
not be the remotest chance of fixing
them while they are in the custody of John
England and Franklin Archer
Crooked elections in the city and the
county will be killed by reregistration and
the voting machines.

HOMES ARE DANGEROUS

In 1914, there were 1880 accidental
deaths and 7,250,00O accidental injuries in
the United States.
Where do you think the greatest num-
Der of deaths and injuries occurred? No
where else but in the American home,
where $4,000 persons were killed and A.
100000 injured. Motor vehicle accidents
were second, with 23,80O killed AMI $780,
600 injured. OccupationaI accidents came
third, 1880 killed and 100000 injured
The figures, compiled by the National
Safety Council, seem to indicate that prop
uganda designed to make the highways
safe for motorists and pedestrians should
be broadened to include slogans to con-
vince people that they can be killed and in
1ured by accidents within the walls of their
homes.

herself from the table she felt
that all Lucia's calm had been on
the surface, that underneath she
was baffied and disappointed that
she, Kay, had shown no OPPOSE
ton to her plans.
THANKSGIVING night was as
! glamorous as Lucia herself.
There was no moon, but a million
stars were scattered over the sky
like diamonds. The air was clear
and cold and the clubhouse was a
maze of brilliant lights.
Inside there was laughter and
warmth. Dark evergreens and tall
baskets of yellow crysanthemums
formed picturesque background
for the gay crowd. A famous or
chestra was there. An improvised
bar stood at one end of the long
room. Everyone in Lowell who
was old enough to dance turned
ont for the party Francis Lam
bert was giving for his bride.
Lucia wore dark green velvet
gown cut to reveal the curves of
her slender hips. Her black hair
was drawn back from her fore
head, her lips were a vivid scar
let, and the gardenias she wore
at her shoulder matched her ivory
skin. She smiled and danced with
gracious condescension with all
the men present, taking for
granted the frankly admiring
looks and the charming compli-
ments they offered her.
She was the center of attrac-
ton, as she had intended to be.
She knew all these people were
eager to see the woman who had
taken Katherine Lambert's place

There $50 her own friends from
Atlanta who drank more liquor
and danced more daringly than
the conservative crowd who usu-.
ally came to the clubhouse dances.
Kay danced by, lovely in her
bronze gown. Jimmy's indolent
eyes were. on her upturned face.
Lucia disliked Kay more than
ever at this moment; the girl
could marry Jimmy Brent any
moment she wished, and yet she
casually refused him.
"Well, Miss Kay" Lucia said to
herself. "You may marry him yet,
whether you want to or not. Be-
cause ! want the Lambert money
and the Lambert home and I want
them n my own name" At the
thought she smiled across her
partners shoulder.
JIMMY was in the stag line now

tened to her side.
WHAT'S this?" she asked, look
ing mp at him as he cut in. "A
rush?"
"Can it what you like SO long
as I get this dance" His eyes
moved boldly over her face and
throat.
She thought, with thrill of
pleasure: His eyes are like Gil
bert's. He and / speak the same
language. Aloud she said, you'd
better run along back to Kay.
Making any progress there
He looked at Kay across the
room; saw her beauty, enhanced
by her golden gown and the pur-
pie violets at her shoulder. She
was gay and casual as she danced.
Jimmy turned again to Lucia and
said. Kay doesn't know I'm in
the ROOM"
Again that feeling of resent
ment against Kay .clutched Lucia.
She said, an acid note creeping
into her voice, Keep on trying.
I'm on your side"
"Wty should I try" he wanted
to know. "when I'm dancing with
you?"
Her eyes swept up, amused.
"You know all the answers don't
your"
"If don't I'll bet you could
