Key W'esters,
Dog Betting Hits
Your Payroll
Risking Your Money On
Dog Racing Is A Fever
That Eats Into ! our
Wages Or Salaries

We have big Navy payroll in
Key West II slt7tsins and r 81
notes our progress and pros
perity. Betting on dog races
would take a "cut" out of that
payroll. The more extensive the
betting the bigger the "cut," and
the bigger the "cut" the less
money we would have to save or
use for sound business purposes.
Let owners of dog track say
what they wish about its ENTER
tainment," its success depends on
money lost by bettors and won,
ALWAYS WON. by the owners.
Dog racing is held at night, If
we had a dog track on Stock
Island. civilian employees and
Navy personnel, their days work
done, would go to the track lust
TO see" the dogs run. The see
ers" would put down small bet
10 make it more interesting"
and lose. If they lost again, they
would bet more to try to get
back what they lost That would
be the beginning of the betting
fever that would take a cut"
some small. some big, out of
their weekly paychecks.
Ask promoters this question,
would you have considered es-
tabliShing a dog track on Stock
Island had it not been Tor our
Navy PAYROLL"
Promoters, all out of town men,
say the proposed dog track will
bring more tourists to Key West
What for? The last three years Key
West did not have sufficient &C
eommodationS for all the tourists
who wished 10 stay here. If the
promoters really want to help
Key West, let them use the
$500. 900 TO build a hotel or
apartments here, SO that we will
have more accommodations for
tourists.

is enough to send them plunging
for cover.
When fully grown, Gadwalls are
about twenty-five inches long, and
they weigh two pounds or a little
more. In flight they can spread
their wings to a total width of
thirty-five inches.
Brownish gray is the main color
on the male. At the back edges of
his wings he has clear patches of
white within a border of black and
brown. On his lower back and in
his tail there are black feathers,
but the tip of his tail is gray. His
lower neck is dark gray, and farth-
er down he is white. His bill is
blue and his legs are dull orange.
The female is about the same
color, but darker, with more brown
mixed in her gray feathers. She
is also a bit smaller than the male.
and does not make as much noise
when she quacks as he does with
his loud, shrill kack-kack.
Summer and winter, Gadwalls
are birds of the Northern Hemis-
phere. They spend the spring and
summer in Canada, along the
Pacific Coast, and eastward into
Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio,
New Mexico, Utah, Texas, and
Louisiana. A few of them remain
in southern Canada for the winter,
while others fly to such scattered
places as Maryland, Lower Cali
fornia, Mexico, and southern Flor
ida.

Gadwaiis are sleepy heads in the
daytime. When the sun is' out,
they spend most of the time doing
in the thick grass of marshlands.
Only a sudden noise would make
them look for safer spot.
At dusk, the big birds come to
life. From twilight until long af-
ter dark, they feed around the
edges of lonely lakes and streams
and in nearby fields. There they
feast on tender water plants, in
sects, snails, small fish, tadpoles,
nuts, and grain.
BY the time dawn begins to
break, they have eaten their fill
and are ready to turn in for a
days rest. Back they go to the
marshes, where human beings sell
dom bother them or their nests.
They build their homes near the
water, says the National Wildlife
Federation, but always on dry
ground. Under a bush or on a
broad clump of grass, they collect
finely shredded grass for the outer
part of the nest. In the center
they add a lining of feathers.
The soft nest is finished and
ready for use by May. In it the
female lays from eight to twelve
large, pale buff or creamy eggs.

Persons who perspire considerably.
such as those who do heavy work,

with high blood pressure and kid

consult their physician about the

YOUR DIET
FOR AUGUST 'fDOG-DAYS"

by Health Information Foundation
Summer is far from over. Aug
ust dog-days are upon us. And
September has yet to come. Thus,
we are still faced with the problem
of what our diet should be on those
days when the mercury tries to-
push the top of the thermometer
or when the humidity. well. the
less said about humidity, the bet
der.
The point is, what and how
should we eat during hot weather.
Some persons can continue to eat
normally, but most seem to lose
their appetites, with the result
that during heat wave many peo-
pile lose a certain amount of
weight.
This isn't too bad, since most of
AIS are overweight and can afford
to "knock off a couple of pounds,
anyway"
1t really makes no difference
whether we eat hot or cold meals
during the summer, according tol
Health Information Foundation of
New York. Nor do we have to
have "at least one hot meal a
day" as some people feel is neces-
sary. Hot or cold meals, if prop
erly balanced, have the same food
walue.
The important thing to remem-
Der, the Foundation says, is what
one eats. 1t is best to avoid sweets
and starchy and fatty foods as Of
ten as possible. But lean meats,
milk. eggs. fruit juices and fresh
fruit, fish, green vegetables are al
ways good to eat, winter or sum-
naer.
And as for thirst quenchers, wat
er is by far the most satisfying.
Other liquids are thirst quenchers
TOO, but only in relation to the
amount of water they contain,
while sweet drinks are surcharged
with calories and therefore more
fattening than cooling.
When to eat, whether three times
"a day or more often and in small
quantities, does not have too much
effect on weight. With children, 1t
is always best not to coax them.
III child is listless during hot
spells and refuses food, there is no
reason for parents to fret. Plenty
of milk and fruit juices supply suf-
ficient nourishment to see the child
through.
AS to the age-old argument over
whether ice cold drinks or hot are
more cooling to the body. 1T all
depends. Take ice-cold drinks
They're not harmful if taken slow
ly and in small amounts at time.
Gulped in large quantity, ice
cold drinks may produce stomach
cramps because the body cannot
warm up the liquid rapidly enough.
In humid weather, hot drinks
are not more cooling than cold
ones, simply because excess pers-
piration thus caused cannot evap-
orate in humid weather and there
fore have no cooling effect. Evap-
pration of perspiration is one of
natures chief methods of cooling
the body. When humidity is high,
not drinks only add to already ex-
cess perspiration. But in dry
weather, hot drinks are cooling
since the excess persniration they
