CAN KEEP IT GOOD


Competition is economically healthy
but only when ii is fair. If one business
man knocks another business man, COM
petition ceases and contention begins In
cidentally, the knocker, whether bust
ness man or the ordinary man on the
street, in the long run hurts nobody but
himself
AS to a merchant. he may be sure that
he can not increase his business by knock
ing somebody who conducts . similar bust
ness. Human nature Is such It's sympathy
always is with the under dog. and man
who is knocked is placed in that category.
That same human nature wakes resentful
against the man who wields the hammer
against his felIowmen. in or out Of business
Americans have an inelegant but very
forceful term they apply to knocker - a
s0rehead.
So it was wise that business men in
Key West, at the meeting Monday night to
organize the Key West Better Business AS
ISOLATION. emphasized fairness and friend
illness in business. As Joe Allen, elected
president of the organization. said. IAN
of us must bury the Ak when we leave
this room.''
II is of little consequence what mans
business is, he may be sure that, il he is
actuated by cooperative spirit, he not
only helps others but also helps himself.
That is particularly true in city the size
of Key West. With all business men work
ing together to promote the interests of the
community. the progress of Key West is
assured
But residents generally must cooper
ate with Key West Better Business Associ-
alton. The best way to cooperate is to buy
at home, as The Citizen has said repeated
ly. Allen set an example of that objective
when he said that he had asked Mrs. Allen
TO make all her purchases in Key West.
Residents generally want good business
here. and they can keep it good if they
buy at home.

Chapter 6
Zach of the four men who had
= assembled that morning in
Morris Diehlman's Office knew
that something of more than
usual Importance was afoot. The
tenacious little general manager
of the Brooklyn National Life
Insurance Company did not. as q
rule, request the presence of the
entire claims department.
Once they were seated, Diehl-
man wasted no time in prelimini-
naries. His words were quick and
decisive.

looks like we've got a big prob

stood that what we discuss here
this morning is not to be passed
on to anyone. either in, or outside
the company"
He stopped for a moment, as II
to give his words greater weight
1T has always been the policy
of this company in handling
claims to assume that the great
majority of them are honest. To
pay these honest claims is one of
the chief purposes of our bust
ness" Again. there was a slight
pause. But I'm afraid that all
our past experience is worth ex-
actly nothing as far as these are
concerned" He indicated with
his hands stack of files in front
of him.
Il have picked out from all
claims made in a period of less
than six months these twenty
two which, in themselves, might
not be unusual, if it weren't for
two things that they all have in
common In all but two. in which
death was accidental and where
we paid out double indemnity.

coincidence is that each of these

NO "ART" IN NATIONS CAPITAL

Eddie Bowling. an actor, thinks it a
sad thing" that there is no legitimate
theatre in Washington and proposes that
the Government do something"
The suggestion is not new. There are
many people who are ready for the gov
eminent to go into business If commercial
interests cannot make the enterprise profit
able. Mr.. Bowling. however, would not
have national theatre" operated by
the government but insists that, after put
ting up the cash, the government should
let commercial people run it"
The background of much effort to
get the government to put up the money
for all economic enterprises is the hope
that. il the government is sucker enough
TO provide the finances. it will let some
body else run the affair. Apparently, it
Is assumed that if the government is silly
enough to put up the money for some
body else, it hasn't the sense necessary to
operate whatever it finances.
Brother Bowling, however, goes a bit
further. He suggests that Congress is
ignorant of the arts" He explains that
they come from the backwoods, these
senators and Congressman" and so what
do they know of the arts?"
IL the members of Congress are ig-
norant of ''the arts" which flourish
wherever Mr.. Bowling halls from, it may
be that they understand more about, and
recognize rather quickly. the particular
art which interests the actor, that of get
ting somebody else to provide the cash
for an enterprise to please the other fell
low.

Licensing Question
Raised on G5I Pools

License Superintendent Chat
ham T. Nottingham has asked the
Corporation Counsel for an opin-
ion on whether the District should
have licensing power over enter
prises operated on Federal prop
erty.
Mr.. Nottingham specifically
wants to know about the seven
swimming pools operated by Gov
eminent Services, Inc. for the 1ns
terror Department and the Meri-
dian Hill Park Theater, which
presents open-air stage produc-
tions under the auspices Of the
Washington Theater Festival.
He pointed out. in his request.
that the license ofiice requires IL
censes for circuses, restaurants,
parking lots and carnivals on
Federal property.
The whole thing came up. Mr..
Nottingham said, when e. Milton
Dulin. assistant director Of public
health engineering. reported de-
ficiencies in the GSI pools. GSI
and Interior Department officials
already have met with Mr.. Not
tingham and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Clark King to dis
cuss licensing of the pools.
Mr.. King held the License Act
Of 1888 applies to the pools. The
Interior Department differed.
however. and questioned the Dis
trict's authority over pools on

Jail Warden Finds EngeI
Writing Letters 10 Woman
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Jail bars
have been no barrier to romance
for 73-year-old Sigmund z. Engel
until yesterdays
Warden Chester L. Fordney said
he learned that Engel, awaiting
trial on charges of swindling wom-
en-, has been corresponding on the
sly with one of his former victims.
A telegram from Mrs. Pauline
Langton, 39-year-old New York
divorce, was intercepted, Warden
Fordney said. It thanked Engel
for five wonderful registered let
ters," the warden said. He added
that he hadn't authorized any
letters, and he reasoned Engel has
been slipping them out on the sly.
Engel was removed from his
single occupancy cell and placed
in an observation cell with several
other prisoners. But he COM
planned of illness and moved again,
to the prison hospital.
DR.. Irwin Hoffman said Engel
has apprehension and chronic
heart trouble, and recommended
he be kept in the hospital a
few days.
