@. How many states are there IN
the Republic of Mexico?-C. U. L.
A. Mexico has % states, one fed
eral district containing Mexico City,
and two territories.
@. Can gold be obtained profitably
from sea water?-S. v. G.
A. Gold has actually been ex-
tracted from the sea during
months working at one of the Amer
lean bromine plants, but the cost OF
doing so was several times more
than the value of the gold. 1t would
appear that it will always be cheaper
to mine gold in South Africa and
elsewhere even when the present
mines are exhausted and the reefs
have to be followed deeper into the
earth at an increased cost Of pro-
duction.
@. How does the deepest place In
the ocean compare with the highest
point above the surface?-M. F. K.
A. The deepest place is in the
Pacific Ocean, IS, 400 feet deep. The
highest point is the top of Mount
Everest, 29,141 feet above sea level.
There is, therefore, a range of nearly
12A miles between the bottom of
the ocean and the top of the land.
@. What has become Of the
chicken heart that was kept alive
by DR.. Alexis Carrel for a number
of years after the animal itself had
died?-R. S.
A. The experiment was concluded
in May, 1916 after the heart tissue
had been kept alive for more than
80 years. The experiment was aban-
doned because it had been demon
strated that the piece of heart could
have been kept alive indefinitely.
@. How much coffee can be OBJ
tanned from a single coffee tree?-
d. E. r.
A. The average yearly yield Of a
tree is one and a half to two pounds
of seeds but there are usually two or
three crops and some trees produce
two to five pounds.
@. Was Sir william Herschel, dis
coverer of the planet Uranus,
musician?-L. w.
A. Yes. His father was a musician
in the Hanoverian Guard and In 1757
sent his son to London to make his
living as a musician. The younger
Herschel became deeply interested
in astronomy. After discovering the
planet in 1881, the King of England
granted him 200 pounds year and
thereafter he gave up music and
devoted himself to astronomy.

smart. tough speech"
And when Senator Austin the nexi
day met Molotov more than hall
way in an equally smart, tough
speech, though the language was
less provocative, the comment Of the
Russian delegation, as voiced by DR.
Leo Medved of the Soviet Ukraine
was:
Good! Good!"
Getting Somewhere.
So, as result of this first impor-
tant exchange on the floor of the
Assembly, both the American and
Russian delegations appear to be-
Ieve we are getting somewhere.
Against this present background oi
dead-in-eaYnest wrangling, consider
a certain earlier adventure in world
peace, the League of Nations sessions
in Geneva. Officially, the United
States was not there. We sat on
the sidelines and sneered. Russia was
there, late conner, admitted only
after all efforts to overthrow the
new Soviet government had failed.
And Russia, in the person of its
chief representative, Maxim Lityin-
off, behaved and was treated much
like a new member of any club. He
was painfully polite and was treated
with distant courtesy.
Already a statesman of some sta
ture, Litvinof was not visibly re-
sentful at being considered less
than an equal. Not accepted So
cially, he took the Sights of the
cooky-pushers in his stride. He
walked into the meetings, nodded
and smiled perfunctorily, went
through the work of the day, picked
up his papers and returned to the
isolation out of which he had come
His speeches were based on the
language of the League Charter,
which he had mastered to the last
syllable. AS one observer remarked
they could have been written by
the Leagues secretariat.
Texts on the Subject.
These speeches, now considered
texts on the subject, went to one
persistent purpose - collective Sc
curity. They were designed to hold
the other members to the terms OF
the Charter Russia, at that time
certainly, wanted to see no more
war. Litvinoff believed enforcement
of the Charter offered the only
means of prevention. So he sought
to hold the League members to
their commitments.
He persuaded neither the recalci-
trants, such as Germany, Italy and
Japan, nor the ip-servers, such as
Britain and France. He only en-
barrassed them all. In due time,
with all he had prophesied coming
true, with the first war moves being
made, including Russia's own move
in the direction of Finland, his
country was expelled from the
League and Litvinoff returned to
Moscow.
The story of the United Nations
thus far has been different. The
United States, the nation that cold
shouldered the League, and Russia
the nation that was cold-shoul-
dered by the League, are in the
United Nations up to their respec-
tive necks. They both mean bust
ness. Little time is wasted on Ole

The Key West High Schools

BILE defeats Saturday 1lighk when
both the Varsity and uss:B" clubs
lost to Fort Laudefdale'S Flying
LIS on the upstate court.
The local varsity became Fort
Undertakes tenth consecutive
victim of the season. 1t was the
third defeat for Key West against
a lone victory.
The score of the Varsity game
Saturday night was Fort Lauder
dale SO, Key West "a.
The Flying LIS did most of their
scoring in the first and third quar-
tiers. Key West dominated the
second and final quarters.
While they did not win, the
Conchs played a very good game
and gained the admiration of the
Lauderdale fans.
Curry Herring, recognized as
one of the better players in this
district, was slightly hurt in the
seeohd quarter of the Varsity
game. He returned to action la
ter but was not as good as usual.

CITATION

Editor, The Citizen:
l take pleasure in enclosing
herewith a United States Treas
ury Department Citation, which
has been awarded to The Key
West Citizen in appreciation of
your services rendered the Unit
ed States Government in support
of the War Financing Effort.
With the close of the Victory
Loan Drive, the work of the Mon
roe County War Finance Com
mittee was ended. Those of US
who worked on this Committee
are proud of our accomplishment
and proud to have been associat-
ed in the greatest sales effort of
all times. To achieve victory an
expenditure of an enormous
amount of money was necessary,
and it was the duty of the va
rious War Finance Committees
all over the, nation to provide
these funds. Here in Monroe
County our local Committee sold
approximately five and one-half
million dollars of War Bonds.
There were times when our quota
seemed impossible to make, but
somehow We always came
through. -
For your part in bringing this
about and for your fine, coopera-
ton I wish to thank you and trust
that this Treasury Citation fit
tingly expresses the thanks of our
Government,
With cordial regards,
Very sincerely yours,
j. J. TREVOR,
Chairman,
Monroe County
War Finance Committee.

, tween them they managed to
keep Mills, Lauderdale, All-Dis-
trict Center, from playing his
usually fine game.
Both of the referees and the
Fort Lauderdale coach said that
the Conch defense was the best
that Lauderdale had come up
against this year. Key West was
the first team that worked an eff
fective zone defense against the
Flying LIS.
The score at half-t time was Fort
Lauderdale II, Key West 10.
In the "B" team game, Lauder
dale won by score of 80 to %.
It was the first time that the Key
West "B" club had played this
year and the boys did quite we'll
for themselves. There were only
five players for the "B" team and
they were forced to play the en-
tire game without substitutes.

rest Arthur, Claude Valdez, Bill
Homberg, Bill Trenbley and

Since there's virtually no coal
