SOVIET POLITICS AT HOME

Schuman (Knopf; S4).

The USSR wasn't allowed TO

it was shaped and formed in paH
by tremendous pressure from Tor

words of the song: "You made
me what I am today. :"
The rest of the world has not

THE BEST AUTHORITY

Soon after Viscount Astor's
father purchased Cliveden, his
stately English home near
Maidenhead, a flood occurred
in the Thames valley.
Lord Astor-he was plain Mr..
Astor then-was in America at
the time, and being anxious
to know if the beautiful grounds
at Cliveden had suffered any
damage, cabled his eldest son
in England: Send particulars
Of the flood
Now it happened that young
Astor was in Scotland at the
time and had not heard of the
inundation.
Seeming joke in the re-
quest, he cabled back: Look
in the Book Of Genesis"

CALLS FOR BLOCK SIGNALS

The Interstate Commerce Commits
siOn after investigating a series of rail-
road wrecks which took toll of human
lives. has found that an inadequate block
signal system had caused the accidents,
but The St. Louis Post-Dispatch points
out that it 'has ducked its clear duty by
merely recommending instead of order
ing the installation of adequate protective
devices"
The st. Louis paper points out that
block signals were introduced in 1872. or
fifteen years before the ice came into
being. 1t says that the ice went on
record some years ago, saying, perhaps
no single invention in the history of the
development of railway transportation has
contributed more toward safety and dis
patch in that field than the track circuits. )"
(The track circuit actuates the block sig
nails which are the basis of the automatic
block system).
In continuing its observation, the St.
Louis newspaper says that the IC.C
speaks in terms of recommendations
which the railroads usually disregard, not
in orders, which they would be required
to carry out" 1t asks, when is the IC.C.
going to assume its obvious duty by aban-
doning it's spineless rhetoric and ordering
installation of the devices which are essen
tial for saving lives?'

ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME

Eleven days more, exclusive of Sun
day, remain for those residents of Monroe
county, who have not qualified for the
May primaries, to register-11 days more
to get LOO to reach the 5000 mark.
What will be the result? Most Key
Westers who keep an eye on local politics,
think that the qualified list will not total
5000.
That figure is not high for Monroe
county. The number of residents, who are
eligible to vote in Monroe, probably is
about 5000. While we are aware that the
qualified list of two years ago totaled
1879, yet we know also that scores on
that list had died and hundreds had left
the county to reside elsewhere
Six thousand would be satisfactory
from civic viewpoint, but it appears that
we will fall far short of that number.
Probably 5000 will not qualify, an ex-
ceedingly poor showing, which will hurt
Monroe county politically, both in the
state and the nation.
Had residents in Key West been as
determined to register as those at Mara
thon and in the Tavernier precinct have
been, the county easily would have had
qualified list of 5000. Apparently,
though there are hundreds of Kew West
ers who are not sufficiently interested in
the primaries to go to the courthouse to
register.
AS a rule, residents who do not vote
fall to complaining when municipal or
county affairs are not conducted accord
ing to their views, which is inconsistency
plus. If they do not care to register to
vote, then they have only themselves to
blame for a type of government that they
dislike.

his abdomen. When he regained
consciousness much later he was
in agony. He turned his head and
found himself staring into the
face of the idol. His hands and
arms were free, and to take his
mind from his pain he took a
penknife from his shirt pocket
and dug at the eyes of the idol.
Those eyes, Mr.. Henry, are the
emeralds for which we search to-
day."
Rush released his breath in a

Somehow the soldier managed
to keep mis- emeralds, and when
he reached San Francisco wrote

that they were not stolen prop

accented the last phrase.
"And you felt that could in

HE was to be cut in. He was
to go to the hospital as an ennis
