Carotene In Carrots

Carotene, the yellow substance In
food which is converted into vita
min A In the body, took its name
from the carrot, one of the vege-
tables richest In this valuable ma
terial. Not all carrots contain the
same quantity of carotene. however.
Those that are too young - the ten
der baby carrots-and those too old
have considerably less than those in
their prime. Tests at the Rhode Is.
land experiment station of 10 vari-
cites of carrots show that these
vegetables increased in carotene as
they matured. They reached a peak
OF about 6 milligrams of carotene
per 100 grams Of carrot In about 90
days after planting. After that, they
gradually lost carotene.

MAN MARCHES ON

Improving, ever improving: that Is
the nature of man. Because of dissatisfac-
ton over the existing order of things and
the desire to better them, man has chang
ed himself from a straggler, following
seasonable changes, to the position he
occupies today of having mastered the
seasons, instead of their governing his
actions
Ambition has been the actuating mo-
tive behind the improvement of the race.
Let us consider the changes in the topog-
raphy of Key West that has occurred since
Juan Salas sold it to John Simonton about
126 years ago.
Were we taken back to the Key West
of that day, its topography would be I'M
recognizable. For instance, it had a lagoon
that entered the island at point off the
southwesterly end of Fleming street and
extended to where the bank is located at
Duval and Front streets.
While it is true that man alone did
not fill in all of the lagoon, yet he carried
on after nature; during hurricane, filled
in the mouth of the lagoon. 1t is an old
SLOIy Ol now ACy w cStCIS IidO W CIOSS
bridges to get to the business section Of
the city on Front street, but, gradually,
the lagoon was filled in and roads were
built over where it had been, connecting
the business and residential parts, of the
city
Many years later the island was en-
larged when Flagler built Trumbo and
now the topography of the island, again
on its northwesterly side, is to be further
improved by the Thompson Enterprises,
as told in The Citizen on Tuesday.
The proposed Thompson improve
ment is regarded by The Citizen as the
most important undertaking in Key West
in many years, because, ultimately, it will
give Key West what it sorely needs
more wharfage space. For seaport town,
Key West needs many more wharves.
A. Maitland Adams, manager of
Thompson Enterprises, after telling of the
seawall that will be constructed from
point off William street to a point off
Grinnell street, said that undoubtedly one
or more wharves will be built out from the
seawall
And so man, spurred by ambition,
marches on to better himself and better
his surroundings. -

FAMINE THREAT FOR 1s47

The threat of famine which now in
wolves millions of peoples throughout the
world is not short-run emergency, de-
clares Chester c. Davis, chairman of the
Presidents Special Famine Emergency
Committee, and the effort now being made
to provide food should be considered the
first sprint in continuing race to avert
death for millions who otherwise will
starve.
Mr., Davis expects the famine prob
lem to make its reappearance next winter
and suggests that steps should be taken
now to meet the mass hunger that will ap-
pear in the late winter of 1947.

HOW TO GET IN

Here's news item which may inter-
est men who, returning home late at night
find themselves locked out and unable to
arouse anybody by ringing the doorbell or
tossing stones against the windowpanes.
1t seems that resident of Mount Yer
non, New York, finding himself in this
predicament, secured small cannon of
the type used for starting yacht races and
fired two salvos. The effect was immed-
late and press reports say that his wife
quickly opened the front door.
This is not the end of the story, be
cause the noise made an impression upon
neighbors, too. They had him arrested for
violating a local law against using gun
powder. The city judge proved sympa-
thetic, however, and suspended sentence.

For some strange reason, the killing

a. a casual price that lS5,OO0,OO0 people
