finding it difficult to talk, while
my Doc says the only way to cure
me is to cure my dentist.
The health department says the
colds, which reach in an unbrOk-
en- sneeze from the White House
to the Capitol, could be worse.
There are lots of 'em, but they're
mild.
All I know is that Congress is
in adjournment. Only about
dozen Senators are in town. That,
health department, means some
thing lin addition to the fact
that 1 was certain I'd get to the
point of this dispatch eventually.
Healthy Senators, 1 have been
given to understand, do not dip
snuff, not in 1916. But when they
get colds they loiter, uncon-
cerned-like, by the oriental snuff
boxes on either side of the ros-
trum. These are handsome black
boxes with red dragons on 'em.
They were presented to the law
makers century ago as a token
of esteem by the Japs.
1t is the responsibility of Les
Biffle, the Senate secretary, to
keep these boxes filled with a spe-
cial grade of snuff de luxe from
Copenhagen. Biffle turned this
job over to a deputy. who has
been buying the snuff these many
years from a shop in PhiIadel-
phia.
The supply in Pennsylvania is
running low, the senatorial snuff
specialist reports, and he is wOr-
ried. What his customers will
say if he tries to fOist off an in
feriOr brand, he does not know.
He trembles to think of il.
The more snuff shifted by .
Senator with the sneezes the
worse off he is. He snorts and
snOrkles and reaches to his hip
pocket for his second handker-
chief and it's not there and what
have you got? A legislative
impasse.
And that's why I am nego.iat-
ing with a handkerchief factory
and he police department.; I'm
setting up shop and with luck I'll
be able to afford a doctor for my
dentist.

SUPREME COURT
RESUMES

Despite the open row be-
tween Justices Jackson and
Black the two men resumed
speaking relations at the
time they first met after
their row. several weeks
ago. Naturally, one would
expect that the Supreme
Court would do business as
usual-and it has.
Undoubtedly the Court
leans to the liberal point
of view, but that's the way
it was intended to be when
a movement was started at
the White House to remodel
that great institution of our
Government. However, as
Emile Coue described the
"healing formula" in 1910,
every day, and in every
way F. the Court is grow
ing better and better" So
don't be pessimistic about
our Judges on the bench.

THOUSANDS UP
IN A PLANE

How large will airplanes
be built eventually, or, say,
so years from now?
Many readers of The Citi-
zen are aware that the first
railroad trains were 'dinky"
affairs, little more than toys,
compared with the stream
liners of today.
And the first steamships
were small. When the Great
Western of 900 feet or so
was built, the world stood
aghast to think that so large
a vessel was to be put into
service. Many shipbuilders
declared she would prove
too bulky and unruly for
profitable operation. How
ever that might have been,
the Great Western turned out
to be a failure. though n o t
because of her size but be-
cause the power installed in
her engine room was not
sufficient to drive her eff
GENTLY.
The Queen Elizabeth of
today, with seven times the
tonnage of the Great West
ern and almost a dozen
times the horsepower, is not
only the largest passenger
ship but also the swiftest.
Only one man went up in
each of the early planes,
and it was considered some
thing of a marvel when a
plane was sufficiently pow
cred to take up two men.
From that toy of 40 years
ago has developed t h e
Army's B-36, with a wing
spread of $50 feet, a height
of AZ feet and a length of
1913 feet.
The Associated Pres s
dispatch about the plane
that was published in The
Citizen did not say how
many men the B-36 will be
capable of taking into the
air, but probably the num-
Der will be $50 or more.
One persons guess is as
good as another. By the end
of this century, The Citizen
ventures to say, planes will
be constructed, each of
which will be capable of
carrying several thousand
passengers.

NEW TRAFFIC LIGHT
At DIVISION STREET
md WINDSOR LANE

A traffic light has been Install
ed at the corner of Windsor lane
ard Division street. At the last
commissioners meeting, the rea-
son for it's administration was
brought up by Rogelio Gomez.
City Manager O. J. S. Filing

ing that the reason for the delay
was that the electric company

BENEFITS WASTED

Among the benefits set up
for the returning veterans
was an unemployment al
lowance of $40 a week for
a maximum of fifty-two
weeks.
The idea was to cushion
returning veterans from pos
sible unemployment but, in
practice, officials find that
many veterans are cashing
in on the allowance without
making much of an effort to
secure a Job despite employ
ment opportunities that are
available.
General Omar Bradley,
Veterans Administrator, ex-
presses concern over this de-
velOpment beca use, he
points out, the veterans are

BIG BUSINESS MAN

w. Averill Hartman,
who has just taken office as
Secretary of Commerce,
eandidly admits that he is a
big, business man, with no
pretentiOns of being any
thing else.
This is refreshing because
it is the truth. However, Mr..
Hartman, in connection
with taking office, gives ex-
preston to principles, which
If followed by Americans,
would do the country a lot
of good.
Asked whether he re-
garded himself as a repre-
sentative of the business
point of view in the Cabinet,
the new Secretary pointed
out that he was hired by the
American people as a whole
and that while he would
further the point of view of
American busine s S, he
would do so only when it
was in the national interest.
The welfare of the coun-
try as a whole is of over
whelming importance" de-
elared Mr.. Hartman, in
urging patience and good
will on all sides. He suggest
ed that we earnestly at
tempt to understand the
point of view and problems
of other individuals and
groups" and that we parti-
cularly must not take adj
vantage of the present dis
location to further unfairly
our own special interests"

Business Women
To Provide City
Tourist Benches

Plans for the construction OF
benches in areas especially used
by tourists to Key West have
been completed by the Board OF
Directors of the Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Club, meeting
at the home of Mrs. Marc Lee
Graham.
Through the untiring efforts of
Mrs. Angela Caro-, chairman OF
the committee in charge of the
project, construction of the seats
will start shortly. Mrs. Caro- an
nounced that the assistance of
Robert Dopp, director of public
works, City of Key West, has
been invaluable in assuring sue
cess of the undertaking.
Lack of proper concrete forms
had prevented action on the mat
ter until Director Dopp consented
to have the necessary forms made.
He also will supervise the labor
necessary for installing the
benches. The club proposes TO
finance the effort by soliciting a
years advertisement for each
bench from a Key West mer-
chant.
A stencil, Welcome Visitors,
will be placed on each bench,
with the name of the business
following. The bench project has
already proved a great success in
other American cities and also in
such popular Mexican tourist
places as Monterrey.

Jaycees'Plasma
Supply In Miami
Five Pints Low

Notice was given the Key
West Junior Chamber of Com
merce at its meeting last eve
ming that Key Vests supply OF
blood plasma on deposit with the
Dade County blood bank in Mi
ami is five points short of its
necessary quota. The Key West
Jaycees have had to draw heavi-
~ upon the supply for local en-
Urgency during the past several
months. AS a result the shortage
exists.
The local organization, which
volunteered to see that a reserve
was always available for use
here, has been presented with a
bill for $50 which will stand un-
til five more donors give pint
of blood each.
No charge is made by the Jay
Gees whenever an emergency re-
quireS plaSma, but it is difficult
for members of the organization
to appear in Miami regularly to
give blood and re-supply the
bank. Any Key Wester while
visiting in Dade county who
would like to contribute toward
the supply available for Key
West emergencies is asked to
call at the Jackson Memorial
! Hospital and volunteer a pint OF
blood toward the Key West
Junior Chamber of Commerce
supply on deposit.
AT last nights meeting Presi-
dent Jack Delaney announced
that in order to complete the or
ganization's club house, now in
construction on Flagler avenue,
in time for dedication cere-
monies planned in January, that
work would be stepped up con-
siderably.
Floodlights are to be installed
in order that construction teams
engaged in building the struc-
ture could work nights in addi-
ton to their Sunday labor. Next
Wednesdays regular meeting
will be limited to a very short
business session and then adj
iourned to the Flagler avenue
site where all members of the
club will join in construction.
Members are asked to be at the
regular meeting place in Jackson
Square at 700 p. m, sharp. They
are to appear in working clothes.
A guest of last nights meeting
was Mrs. Grace Ensign, State
Representative of the Florida
Tubercular & Health Assocla-
ton. Mrs. Ensign was introduced
by Joe Pinder, official of the
Monroe County Unit. Both
speakers urged Jaycees to sup
port the oncoming Tubercular
Stamp drive.

EXPANDING UNIVERSE

In the not distant future,
astronomers will begin to
reveal the mystery of the
universe when the new 200
inch telescope is in opera
ton on Mount Palomar,
California.
The largest telescope,
now in use, is the 100-inch
one at Mount Wilson. The
new telescope will reduce
the time necessary for max
ing photographs of celestial
areas.
With the present equip
ment astronomers reach out
into space to find nebulae
5OO,000,000 light-years from
the earth. They are as
large as the earth's own stel-
lar system, which is believed
to contain approximately
1OO,000,000 stars.
What tn e astronomers
will discover with the new
telescope may amaze us.
There seems to be no end to
the universe and its immen-
sity is apparently only dim
ly perceived.
