yKnOtOn architect; Liues Here

Charming and sweet, witty
and gay is Mrs. Mari Barmine,
wife of the author Alexander
Barmine. Mrs. Barmine was born
N Greece, a land much like our
own southern Florida with
plenty of sunshine and beautiful
flowers.
She became an architect and
after leaving Greece, to come to
America, she obtained her mas
tiers degree in architecture at
Columbia University.
Mrs. Barmine was telling me
how she and her husband hap
pened to first come to Key West
in 1871. They were in New York
and it was winter, with its sleet
and snow, and the Barmines de-
cided to take a vacation. Mrs.
Barmine stated vacation

pointed out, that under the stress
of war work many of the stand
ard services of Red Cross were
allowed to lag. Now with the. de-
! minishing requirements of the
emergency and the availability of
trained men, there will be a
greater emphasis on such pro,
grams as: first aid, water safety,
Junior Red Cross, etc. He fur
Their pointed out the fact that the
local Red Cross Chapter is a citi-
zens group. Citizens of the local
community plan and carry out
the program Of Red Cross. Key
West, according to Mr.. Carter,
will continue to be concerned
with so-called war activities for
some time to come. He compli-
mented the local chapter and Of

a great deal of sun, the same as
her sunny Greece.
They started out with their
destination Florida. When they
reached Jacksonville, it was
vastly disappointing, as it was
cold, damp and cloudy, and so
they continued driving south,
zig-zagging across the state, not
satisfied with any of the cities
and towns they visited, until fin
ally at the very end of Florida
they found what they wanted
Since then, they have bought a
home here and also property, on

Mrs. Barmine is a delightful

JOE PEARLMAN and the rest
of the crowd at the Bolshevist
table of the Rotary club were
nonplussed yesterday. The speak
ers were Russian and American
correspondents who had seen
most of the Bolshevist regime.
Barmine had distributed pamph-
lets himself which his brothers
had printed. Nevertheless Joe
got up enough courage to ask
the correspondents a question.
The rest of the Bolshevist table
were strangely silent. Here was
big thunder.

Catskill News, who is here in

who do just that. DIR. ROBINSON

The lecturer spoke of the fact
that mankind is searching fol-
that which will solve the perplex-
ing problems of life. Just as, 4
business executive seeks ways to
eliminate waste, so it is equally
wise to seek a scientific know
ledge of your own life, to learn
how to overcome waste of energy
loss of power, ill-health, dim
inishing happiness, and how to
supplant them with joy, health,
peace, and progress.
Because Mary Baker Eddy, the
ID scoVerer and Founder OF
Christian Science, saw the urgent
need of the sick and SHINING, she
longed to save them from their
misery, said Mr.. Carney, and she
left for all ages an impress OF
spirituality that causes unnum-
bered hosts to rise. up and call
her blessed. ha- b.
n 1t is sometimes said, the lee
turer declared, that Christian
Scientists place their textbook
above the Bible, but this is, not so.
The textbook exalts the Bible as
no other book has done, the lee
turer stated, and students of
Christian Science study the Bible,
the authorized King James Yer
sion, as they have never studied
it before.
Because God ! is ( everywhere,
HeIis properly defined as the ALL
mall, the speaker stated. From
this we pefceive that there lis
nothing outside of God, no wis
dom, no intelligence, no presence.
no power, no being.
In the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, man is defined as
follows Up. SOD: 'The compound
idea of infinite Spirit; the spirit
ual image and likeness of God;
the full representation of Mind"
Without man, God would be in
complete; and man without God
could not exist, Mr.. Carney said.
An exalted sense of man is as
necessary as an exalted sense OF
God.
An interesting point in the
practice of Christian Science is to
impersonalize both good and evil
the lecturer continued. Jesus
learned how to impersonalize
praise, and this enabled him to
impersonalize censure as well
All the good we have, or ever
will have, comes from the source
of infinite good alone, he said. !
The speaker explained that the
method of healing in Christian
Science is that of prayer - the
prayer of spiritual understand
ing. Prayer changes nothing real.
But it does show what we already
have, what unlimited power and
intelligence we already possess,
and how we may make use of
them. Man does not heal, but
God does, said Mr.. Carney. Man
can only realize the Truth, for
the Truth is the only physician
and healer.
Thought recognizes no limita-
ton of distance, therefore Christ
ian Science can be used as a
protection for loved ones on the
field of battle and for the pros
eprity of our countries under
arms, Mr.. Carney affirmed.
In concluding, the lecturer said
that the purpose of Christian
Science is to present to a world
in need, the practical, operative
power of prayer. 1t shows how
our lives may be transformed, he
stated, through eliminating the
mental traits and characteristics
which impede our progress in the
home, in society, and in business.
1t also shows how we may aid in
directing the course of the ma
tons from darkness to Highland
victory. SAXM

DIPHTHERIA

The months when diphtheria is
most prevalent are November, De-
cember and January. But there need
be no diphtheria months at all if par
ents of young children take certain
fundamental precautions against the
disease. Science has gone far toward
conQuering diphtheria, but it cannot
complete the job without the cooper
alton of parents.
At birth, IS per cent of all child
rem have immunity to diphtheria de-
rived from the mothers. This immu-
nifty disappears at six to nine months.
Most cases of the disease occur be-
tween the second and fftk year. 1t is
of the utmost Importance that child
rem in this age group be protected
against diphtheria. 1t would be ideal
if all were immunized as routine
practice between the ages of six
months and two years.
Many children exposed to diph<
iberia escape it altogether. A simple
skin test, called the Schick test, is
used to find out whether TIE anti
bodies which prevent diphtheria are
in the blood. If not, there should be
no delay in starting immunization
'sshots" to prevent any possibility of
contracting this highly infectious and

WHAT DOES MIR. LEWIS WANT

It has been said that John L. Lew
is, head of the United Mine Workers,
does not favor socialization of the
coal industry. This would seem logi-
cal, for Mr.. Lewis must realize that II
government goes into the operation
of any industry on a permanent basis
it's workers will no longer be free
agents, with TIE unlimited right to
strike. However, Mr.. Lewis demands
upon the coal mines may, in view of
some authorities, make the future
operation of the properties under pri-
vate ownership dangerously difficult.
The coal mines are now 'tempor-
arily socialized". 1t is presumed they
will be returned to private ownership
in the relatively near future. During
this interim period Mr.. Lewis has
been appearing periodically with new
demands which will add denormously
to the cost of mining coal. These de-
mands range from union control OF
welfare fund to be provided by the
operators, to shorter weeks and high
er wages. 1t is of great significance
that the owners have almost nothing
to say in the controversy. The unions
and the government decide every
thing.
The worst part of the whole prob
lem is that most of Mr.. Lewis de-
mands involve increases in the cost
of operation-without any increase
whatever in labor's productivity. La
bor wants more money-but it does
not want to perform more work, and
in some cases it is performing less
work. The unanswered question is
just how long the American indus
trial machine and the American con-
sumer can stand the impact of this
sort of labor policy.
