Smathers verifies Citizen =
Story Weather Observatory
Seeks City For Operations
REPRESENTATIVE 5 T A T E s
HE HAS INVITED WASH
INGToN BUREAU TO COME
TO KEY WEST

Verification of story carried
in The Citizen last Monday came
yesterday from Representative
George Smathers, Miami, who
said that he had invited the Naval
Weather Observatory to move to
Key West.
Stnathers made his statement
before the Rotary Club yester,
day. when he said it had come to
his attention that the Naval OBJ
|servatory in Washington was de-
sirous of another location be-
cause of unfavorable weather
and atmospheric conditions in
Washington.
AS soon as / could invited
the observatory to move to Key
West to take advantage of the
city's sunshine and favorable
year-around weather." said Rep.
Smathers. They can make their
estimations and calculations
daily if they move here"
Snathers talked last night be-
fore the Lions Club, the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars Auxiliary,
which met at Flagler avenue and
Second street, and before two
negro veterans organizations on
Whitehead street Previously he
had appeared here before the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the Rotary Club.
AT last nights meeting before
the Lions, Smathers made
statement regarding the Nays
Use Of Poinciana, which Mayor
w. W. Demeritt objected to.
"You seem more interested in
the Navy than you do the poor
people of Key West" said the
"At Boca Chica the Navy
can transform many barracks in
10 living quarters and the Navy
wouldn't need Poinciana."
by giving the Navy what it
needs, really arm 4benefitting
everyone in the city, for it in
4 eases the productivity of the
entire people of Key West, re,
;ponded Smathers. He was vlgor-
,usiy applauded for the remark.
*. A. Renuart, Miami deputy
district of the Lions organization,
was the guest of the Key West
Lions last night.
In its story carried Monday,
which came from Science Maya
zine, The Citizen had this to say
with reference to the Naval or
servatory:
THE great u. S. Naval Obser-
vatory, time center of the coun-
try, must move. Its directors are
searching the country over Tor
100 acres of land where the sky Is
clear, the temperature is not
changeable, and cities are remote.
The Observatory now occupies
SIS buildings on u acres In the
heart of Washington, d. G. The
first unit was built in 1893. Since
then the city has grown COM
pletely around it, SO that dust,
smoke, and the heat radiatlons
from city streets interfere with
observations a n q
force the move.

Horse And Buggy Days

the location of the Line determined
the location of line fences between
farms; hence, at these places, the
Mason and Dixon Line comedies
with a fence row, and at others, a
road, as our own Mason and Dixon
road running west from Middleburg.
Because of the widespread inter
est in this famous Line, and for Wis
itors' guidance and information, COM
memorative plaques have been
erected at a number of interesting
spots, and modern attrac-
tive eight foot white shafts-have
been placed where highways cross
the Line. Of special interest, of
course, are the original markers, of
two kinds. One of the larger five
mile markers, containing the Coats
of Arms of William Penn and Lord
Baltimore, together with one of the
descriptive plaques, can be seen
along the Marsh Road, just mile
or so north of Reid, seven miles from
Hagerstown. This stone happens to
be the one hundredth mile stone; it
is preserved immovably in cement,
just at the edge of the road. These
five-mile stones are known as
Crown-stones, because of the in
scribed seals; the mile stones, be-
tween these five mile markers, are
square white stones, containing only
a large "M'' for Maryland on the
South side, and a 'P" for Pennsyl-
vania on the North
Many stories are in circulation
about houses that stand directly on
this famous dividing Line. This is
of special concern to some at cleo
ton time. The rule for deciding
which state a man is a citizen of,
seems to put the decision with where
the man sleeps. This same ruling
held for school children in family a
few years back, just west of Mid
dleburg. 1t was found by the par
ents to be an advantage for their
children to attend school in Pennsyl-
vania, so the beds were moved to
another room that is in that state
On one occasion, in Middleburg, a
man was wanted by the sheriffs of
both Washington County and Frank
lin County (Pa); he lived in the
old log house that stood, until just
a few years ago, on the west side of
the main road in Middleburg. This
house stood right on the line; only
one of the sheriffs had the right by
law to enter his door, but after en-
tering the house, he could not go
to the other end of the house to get
his man.
Next week 1 will tell the story Of
Charles Mason and James Dixon,
and the laying of the Mason and
Dixon Line.

that get on husbands and wives
nerves until they send them to the
divorce courts.
Many and many wife loses Q
good husband because she picks on
him all the time, and corrects his
grammer and his table manners and
won't let him have q dog. Many q
man works himself to death to pay
for his wife's extravaganza because
he was too dumb to tell her how
young and pretty she looked In her
old clothes. 1t Is the little things
in marriage that make the big
tragedies.
And so it goes all through life. It
is the trifles that count. Not the
great deeds. Our success, our hap
piness, our prosperity depends upon
our being kindly and helpful and
pleasant to get along with far more
than 1t does upon our being heroes.
or martyrs. or geniuses. AS long
as q husband kisses his wife'S hands
she will work them to the bones for
him and think 1t is privilege to
do SO. As long as q wife burns in
cense before her husband and tells
him that he Is the wisest, wittiest,
most fascinating man in the world,
she can snap her fingers in the face
Of any glamour girl.

A famous clergyman says that one
of his most fervent prayers is to 'be
delivered from the tyranny Of trifles
Amen. It is 4 petition in which We
might all unite, for we can take the
big blows Of fate with courage and
resignation; 1t is the little pinpricks
Of life that irritate US to madness.
II there were no trifies, we would
have nothing to worry about. We
could grapple with our big problems
and get q kick out of settling them
It Is the small aggravations that get
US down and spoil the party for us.
And the curious part of 1t all is that
even the most intelligent of us do
not realize how completely We are
enslaved by trifles and how much
We let them dominate us.
Take, for instance. the many peo-
pie you know who are stepped IN
woe and who are always whining
and complaining and telling their
troubles. Have they had some great,
heartbreaking tragedy befall them?
Have they lost an only child? Have
they been betrayed by the one they
loved and trusted?
Not at all. Lady Luck has show
cred her choicest gifts upon them.
Sorrow has passed them by. The
thing that Is worring them to death
and that they are grouching over is
that the cook has left, or Fido has
the wheezies, or that their new dress
doesn't At. or that Mrs. Snooty
didn't invite them to her swanky
dinner. y
And what makes us fall for one
person and turn our backs on an
other? Is 1t because one is more
educated than the other, or a nobler
Christian character, or tries harder
to please? Not at all. It is trifles
It is some little thing that captures
our fancy, a smile, the come-hither
look In an eye, listening with rapt
attention to our story about our
little Johnny. Popularity is always
bought with small change.
And what breaks up more homes
and is at the bottom Of more divorces
than all the sirens and hard liquor

little mannerisms, little habits that
