FLEETWOOD IS
PICKED UP And
TOWED TO PORT
VESSEL MADE START FOR
TRIP TO VIRGIN ISLANDS,
BUT DEVELOPED ENGINE
TROUBLE

Shortly after leaving the Porter
Dock yesterday afternoon on the
long voyage to the Virgin Islands,
the two-masted Schooner Fleet
wood was picked up by coast
guard cutter end returned to her
berth. Engine trouble interrupted
the proposed voyage.
The Fleetwood arrived in port
and berthed at the Porter Dock on
February &c. Since her arrival
Captain Maurice Allard and his
assistants have been busy repair
ing the damage to the vessels hull
and rigging caused when strong
gales were encountered between
Tampa and this port.
While the vessel has been in
port. numbers OF the curious have
been to the dock. principally be-
cause the word had gone forth,
and stories appeared in the press
of other cities, that the persons
on the Fleetwood were members
of a nudist colony and were
searching for place on which to
establish.
The Citizen was told most en-
phatically that those on the YES
sci were not members of nudist
colony. That their plans and
everything in connection with the
voyage were known to Captain
Allard. The captain said his des-
tination was st. Thomas. Virgin
Islands.
There are eight persons on the
vessel. Captain Maurice II. Al
lard, born in Vermont. Johan Ho-
hanson, born in Norway; Fer
nande Allard, the captains wife,
! born in France; Alice Allard, Gil
! bert Aiiard and Annette Allard,
their children. Alice was born in
Manila. Philippine Islands, Gil
bert was born in Virginia. and
Annette in Michigan.
There are two other young
women on the ship, Miss Maui
reen Landrum and Miss Lucille
Robinson, who are natives OF
Colorado.

Considerable confusion exists,
and occasionally among lawyers
and judges, as to the meaning OF
the words residence" and "citi-
zenship," and the corresponding
words resident" and "citizen."
The question constantly arises I'M
der the terms Of the Real Estate
Lisense Law and under the Home
stead Exemption Amendment.
The greatest error is in assum-
ing that either term has anything
to do with voting except as pre-
requisite to the right to vote. The
right to vote comes after residence
and citizenship, and the other re-
quirements to vote. that is, the
age, length of residence and citi-
zenship, payment of poll taxes and
registration, have nothing to do
with the fact of residence and citi-
zenship.
Residence" has two general
meanings. The term as collOquial-
ly used, refers to a place where a
person stays for a time. AS SO
used, a person may have several
residences. One may be in town,
the other in the country; one
may be in Florida, the other in
New York. But this must not be
confused with the more precise
legal meaning of the term "resi-
dence." Under the legal meaning,
person can have but one resi-
dence. 1t is the place where he
intends to maintain his legal
status or domicile. and to which
he intends to return from a tenn
pOrary trip. One may stay away
from his legal residence for years,
with his family. but so long as he
intends to return to the legal resi-
dence, and does not exercise
rights or act inconsistent with his
expressed intention, he retains his
original residence and does not ac-
quire a new one. On the other
hand, if he comes to Florida. in
tending to acquire residence here
and to abandon his former resi-
dence, he Immediately becomes a
resident of Florida. Often it de-
Ponds solely upon the word of the

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

Before the present Congress
convened, great many COM
mentators forecast that a knock
down-and-drag-out session was in
prospect, that titanic legislative
battles doomed, that almost every
day would bring new headlines
from Capitol Hill-that, in brief,
there would be excitement, color.
drama.
These commentators were not
100 per cent wrong, but they
were close to it. The present
Congress has been quiet and al
most entirely without lustre, so
far as the outside observer can
see. Little acrimony has appear
ed. And debate over important
measures has been a long way
from brilliant.
There are, of course, reasons
for this-political reasons. Those
who know say that Mr.. Roosevelt.
with his tremendous House and
Senate majorities, doesn't want
any more hornets nests stirred
up before election than he can
help. AS a result. Congressional
leaders are doing their real talk
ing behind closed doors in the
committee rooms. There they are
bargaining and hOrse-trading. By
/ the time important bills reach the
floor, everything is cut and dried.
Roll calls produce flood of
ayes" with scattering of
'Nays," and that's that.
Why do Republicans permit
this? For the same reason as the
Democrats - politics. Republican
strategists seem to be just as
sure as Democratic strategists that
peace and quiet is in their best
interest. They prefer to do their
talking on the stump. And they
too are motivated by the dread
fear of alternating votes that might
pave the way to a Republican win
in November.
The new farm bill which. so far
as anyone could see, went through
Congress with very few ripples to
mar its serene passage, provides
a fine example of the conditions
described above. In the words Of
Time, Pressed by sprouting cot
ton seed and impatient farm lead
ers, Senators had no more time to
consider than they had in 1888.
Pressed by the political necessity
of adopting a bill that would re-
suit in liberal distributions of cash
before election day, they had lit
tie latitude. The outcome of vir-
tually every roll call could have
been predicted on the basis OF
political expediency."
The bill, as passed, is curious
, mixture. including as it does a
plan for a temporary stop-gap
and another plan for per-
: manent farm program. The stop
gap is based on the Soil Conserva-
ton Act of 1885, an obscure and
at the time of its passage, q
seemingly unimportant bill. The
Act gives Secretary of Agriculture

party, and this is conclusive in the
absence of contradictory express
sions or inconsistent conduct. An
alien may be resident of the state.
The Supreme Court has said
(Steuart V. State. 161 So. 378) :
"Citizens of the State of
Florida are those persons who
are born orYnaturalized in the
United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof. and
who reside in the State of
Florida Fourteenth Amend
ment to U. S. ,Constitution),
and thsoe persons who are de-
clared to be citizens of the d.
State Of Florida by the Con-
stitution or statutes of the
State of Florida that are not
inconsistent with applicable
paramount federal law"
The Court further held that
the Constitution and statutes do
not make anyone a citizen of Flor
ida who is not citizen Of the U.
s. residing in Florida, so that the
first clause OF the definition is at
present solely applicable. 1t was
consequently held that an alien
was not entitled to homestead ex-
emption, as the amendment grants
it only to one who is a "citizen of
and resides in the State of Flor
ida" Whether the state could, by
law, make an alien citizen of the
state was not decided.
Other than the question of ale
glance to this government. there
is little. if any. difference between
a resident and a citizen of the
state.
A person may. therefore, be-
come real estate broker in this
state. if otherwise qualified, if he
has lived here all his life, or if born
elsewhere, has come to this state
with intention of making it his
home.
And a person. if otherwise
qualified. is entitled to the home
stead exemption, if in addition to
the requirements set forth in the
proceeding paragraph, is also a
citizen of the United States.

power to prevent soil erosion. The
new farm bill is an amendment to
this Act, whereby the Secretary
is authorized to spend $500,000,-
600 a year to pay farmers not
only for preventing erosion, but
Tor promoting soil fertility. Thus,
the Secretary can pay a farmer
for taking his acres out o. cot
ton, wheat or other cash crops,
and putting them into nOn-cash
crops, such as clover. With this
power, the Secretary obviously
has Just about as much influence
in controlling crops and produc-
ton as he did under the dead
AAA.
However, many authorities,
some within the Democratic party,
feel that the amendment might
be given the same treatment by
the Supreme Court as the AAA.
Therefore the new bill permits
the Secretary to provide money
and other aid for setting up crop
control agencies in the As states.
State legislatures would pass laws
giving these agencies powers the
Secretary deems sufficient to
carry out the major purposes o.
the Act-and "little kAA's"
would be established. States re-
fusing to fall in line would get no
benefits after two years. Pro-
pOnents of the bill believe this
fixes up the constitutionality
angle of the plan. in that, tech
nically speaking at least, crop
control would be engineered by
the states and not by the federal
government, and. so would not
run into the objections laid down
by the Supreme Court in the AAA
test case.
No means has yet been estab-
lished for raising the required
$500, 100000 and a new bill mast
be passed for that. There is
strong sentiment in Congress to
raise at least part OF the money
through new corporation taxes.
Advocates of world peace shud-
dered fortnight ago when the
House of Representatives voted
for the largest peace-time army
appropriations in our history.
Ominous reason for the super
budget was expressed by Chief o.
Army Staff Craig, who said. at
is perfectly evident to everyone
that troublous times have again
arrived in the world. We do
not see how they can possibly
concern us. Nevertheless. it is
unwise to neglect the lessons of
our experience.
For strictly military purposes,
the House Bill provides about
1917. 100000. Non-military ap-
preparations come to S168 000.-
900, or a total of S545, 100000.
Navy expenditures are expected
to bring total defense spending
for 1867 fiscal year to al
most $1,OOO.0OO,OOO.

Foreign debtors who owe the

one-third of the entire national
debt-have begun informal sound
ings here to determine what, if
anything, can be done to break the
long impasse on the war debts.
The initiative is coming from
the debtors themselves, and is re-
ceiving active encouragement by
officials of this Government.
The debtors have been in
formed, in effect:

This is in line with the policy
adopted by President Roosevelt at
the outset of his Administration,
of letting the debtors stew in their
own juice, and taking no steps 10

than to remind them each six
months that their debts still re-
main on the Treasury books, un-

500 SCIENTISTS
ENJOY HAIR
TONIC DRINK
International News Service

International News Service
Five hundred distinguished
scientists and their guests gadded
about here today, with and with
out headaches, after sampling a
"hair-growing" cocktail patented
q quarter of a century ago.
The concoction, called the
Friedrich Wilhelm" was regis
tered at the United States Patent
Office as No. 939,731 in 1909 by
Friedrich Wilhelm Emil Muller,
OF Chicago.
Muller, bald-headed bartender,
devised the drink in his off mo-
ments. He said that internal or
external" application would grow
hair on the head.
Inventor Is Silent
There is no record at the Patent
Office to testify to the success of
Muller's so-called cocktail tonic,
or whether the inventor is still
alive after having sampled his
wares.
Anyway, the drink graced the
tables of the dinner held last night
as part of the centennial celebra-
tion of the American patent SyS-
tenn.
In case the reader is interested
and wants to try it, here's Mr..
Muller's recipe:
Distilled corn whiskey, 40 per
cent; ripe currantS, rs per cent;
Port wine, 20 per cent; water,
10 per cent; sugar, five per
cent"

Then followed a lobster meat

ing. There was also roast turkey
killed a year ago, but "kept fresh
as yesterday" under patented
process.
Patents MaSticated
Corn, squash and lima beans,
preserved by patented methods,
comprised the vegetables. The
dinner was topped off with pat
ented ice cream, garnished with
patented Strawberries, picked last
May. Even the demi-tasse was
coffee packed under a patented
process.
The committee on the dinner
arrangements said the menu was
given official approval only sew
eral days ago, although it has
been working over it for several
months.
The committee pointed out that
those persons who volunteered"
to test the menu several weeks
ago are still enjoying good health.
And what's more, they tried it
again last night.
