QUIT BLOWING IN YOUR MONEY

Senator Alexander Wiley of Wiscon-
sin writes one of the best letters to the
newspapers of his state that goes from
Washington, and in his New Years Letter
he found time to rejoice that 'the old or
der changes giving place to the new" Be-
ing an optimist, he looks for better times
in future days.
The senator reports that 'the Ameri-
can people now have accumulated ITO
billion dollars in savings, the greatest
amount IN history He warns people who
have nest egg to beware of swindlers and
crooks out to steal it with every shady
scheme conceivable. But he also tells his
fellow members in Congress to stop their
habit to spend, spend, spend"
At the close of the year 1916 he paints
a plain news picture of what cats did
Congress take, specifically during the fate
tul year OF 1882 And then he explains:
1t ratified the United Nations Charter. vot
ed funds for foreign relief, authorized world
financial cooperation, reduced taxes abol
lshed war time, liberalized the c.. I. Bill
of Rights, authorized housing funds and
navigation and foold control appropria-
tons. These are but few of the hundreds
of bills passed by Congress during the last
II months.
Among future issues that Congress
will face when it opens its Second Session,
Senator Wiley believes there must be
solution of how to curb the strike menace
and protect the best interests of the public,
of labor and of management. Whether or
not to merge the Army and the Navy into
one Cabinet Department and to enact
peacetime CONSUMPTION? How to cope with
the still terrible housing shortage? What
to do about revising our tax system? How
to handle price and rationing controls?
What about the proposed health and social
security legislation? How to reorganie
the government and strengthen Congress
and the other branches to meet their heavy
responsibilities? How to insure full justice
for our returning servicemen? What to
do about controlling and utilizing atomic
energy? How to meet the farmers prob
lens, the laboring mans, the small bust
nessman's and so on.

OH, SUGAR!

Tn another six months the Philippine
Islands will become independent, and on
their own. But the United States IS not
going 70 give them up-and the Philippines
are not going to give us up. The popula-
ton of the Philippines, at the time OF taking
the 1910 census, was I6,350,000 and the
land area of the Islands was ia, 1870 square
miles.
Reciprocal free trade relations have
existed between the United States and the
Philippines since 1909. Under the new
relationship covering the forthcoming in
dependence of the Philippines free trade
will continue for ten years. The most i'm
portant shipments Of the Islands to our own
country has been sugar The Philippines
are insisting that its sugar should be
shipped without any tariff to the United
States. Indefinitely.
All restrictions on the shipments of su-
gar from Hawaii were removed by an or
der by President Roosevelt in 1912. So
Hawaii figures in our three-cOrnered sugar
puzzle.
A lot of people keep right on asking
why sugar production is not developed in
the United States so as to take care of our
own demands All there is the rub! A
half dozen of our own Southern States have
grown as fine a quality of sugarcane and
sugarbeets as has ever been produced in
any part of the world.

ONLY AN ECONOMIC PROBLEM

The plan of health insurance, propos-
ed by President Truman, is not scheme
10 socialize medicine, regardless of what
you hear.
1t is unfortunate that some leaders of
the medical profession have seen fit to
launch their opposition to health insurance
with the allegation that it means that the
government is about to direct the practice
of medicine.
When disease hits family there are
two problems involved: (a) what doctor to
call and what treatment is necessary and
(2) where is the money coming from to
meet the emergency expense.
Health insurance attempts to meet the
second problem, which is entirely an eco
monte matter. 1t has no relation whatever
to the first problem.

COMMUNITY INTERESTS

Most of us do a great deal of moral
izing or sermoning or pledging ourselves to
do this and not to do that when New Years
Day rolls around.
We have been in similar mood, and
today we tried to figure out, with the first
week of the New Year almost passed, what
of consequence we have done during that
time. Frankly, it has been the same old
grind, eating and sleeping and working
and reading, interlarded with a little rec
reation.
..- All Of us could accomplish more, were
we backed by unflinching determination,
yet, many time, when we think we have
done nothing, we have done much.
That feeling always has been true of
man, regardless of how successful his life
might have been. DR.. Samuel Johnson,
who compiled the first English dictionary
of any consequence, and who wrote volum-
inously, remarked frequently that he had
wasted most of his life, and often became
remorseful because ha had not done far
more than he had accomplished
DIR. Brougham, who, one author said.
did the work of three ordinary men, also
felt that he had left many things undone
that he should have done.
Brushing aside our personal accom-
plishments, or lack of them, let us face this
question: What are we going to do this
year to promote the interests of Key West?
We may ask other questions Of similar
nature: Are we going to be concerned
only in our selfish interests during. this
year, or are we going to give part of our
time to helping Key West?5 We should
realize that, in helping our community, we
are also helping ourselves, because our own
success depends in great measure on the
success of Key West as a whole.

Terms Used For Holy Books

The word Bible, which means
book in Greek, does not appear in
the text of the Holy Scriptures.
The terms used to designate the
collection of Holy Books known
to us as the Bible" include: The
Holy Scriptures, The Word of
Truth, The Scriptures, The Word,
The Law and the Prophets, and
the Old and New Testaments.
The Law, the Prophets land the
Writings are the terms Jews gave
to the Old Testament.
The King James Bible, which
is commonly used now, was be-
gun in 1907 and published in 1911.
This English translation of the
Holy Scriptures was known as the
Authorized Version" A revision
of the Authorized Version (but
not a new translation) was begun
in 1911 and published in 1881.

her for the next hour. She walked
aimlessly through the rooms OPEN
ing doors and looking into closets.
She stood in the salon and tried
to imagine where each person had
been when she entered the room
after Robey had fallen. Suddenly
the cold thought struck her that
if she were to help tonight she
should tell them about the certi-
ficate.
But should she? Wouldn't that
hinder the Inspector? She could
not solve that for herself and de-
cided to call him..

"Wfll it matter if I tell them

"If you do. you'll be bait," he
said. But I could be there to take

"No, for Gods sake don't"

CHAPTERS And Verses

The idea of dividing the Holy
Scriptures into chapters was con-
ceived by Cardinal Hugo de Sane
to Caro- in 1850.
A printer of Paris, while max
ing a horseback journey from
Lyons to Paris in 1850, arranged
the chapters in verses.
There are 1,189 chapters in the
Bible, 929 in the Old Testament
and 260 in the New Testament.
The 117th Psalm is the middle
chapter of the Bible, the 29th
chapter of Job is the middle of
the Old Testament and the 18th
chapter of Romans is the middle
of the New Testament.
The 117th Psalm is not only the
middle chapter of the Bible but
is also the shortest. 1t contains
only two verses of SO words and
1873 letters.
The longest chapter in the
Bible, the 18th Psalm, is sep
arated from the shortest by just
one chapter. The longest chapter
consists of 178 verses divided into
% sections of eight verses each.
Including the titles of the Sec
tons, some of which are the let
tiers of the Hebrew alphabet,
there are 2,445 words and 10,146
letters in the 18th Psalm.
There is one chapter of the
Bible that does not end with a
period. 1t is the 21st chapter of
Acts. There are no paragraphs in
the chapter.
The 18th chapter of John, which
is the l,016th chapter of the Bible,
contains 1,016 words in the Re-
vised Version.
The shortest verse in the Old
Testament is / Chron. lbs. 1t

loves,
To neither can I say, Nay"
The sun shouts over the ocean
Like king, in golden array;
But the purple clouds, they march

When the sun sets over the bay.
Moonlight over the ocean;
The waning moon DER the bay;
A whisper of tropical breeZes
That linger, but can not stay.
Between the shout from the

And the whisper that comes from

And have joy of them both, al
