CELEBRATION OF
CENTENNIAL Is
BEING slOUTLINED
EVENT IN CONNECTION WITH
ADOPTION OF FLORIDA'S
FIRST STATE CONSTITU-
TON

PORT ST. JOE, Nov. Is (FNS).
That the celebration of the
centennial of the adoption of
Florida'S first state constitution
in this city, Dec. z to 10, next,
will be, as its sponsors hoped it
would be, nationwide as well as
statewide in character, is being
manifested by the interest being
taken in it by men of national
prominence. Among them are
President Roosevelt, Postmaster
General Farley, many members
of the national congress, in adj
dition to Florida's representation
therein, and others including
John H. Perry and Frank Parker
Stockbridge, whose histories of
the state are widely read, and
Barron Collier, one of the most
active of the developers of the
state.
The army and navy will each
be represented by troops and
naval vessels and their respective
contingents will play prominent
part in the dedication of the new
Centennial building erected on
the site of the hall in which the
constitutional convention of loo
years ago was held.
One of the colorful features of
the celebration will be the pa
RAIDS of twenty historical, ale
gorical and industrial floats, one
the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 8,
and the other, brilliantly illum-
mated, the night of Saturday
Dec. 10. A script is being writ
ten around the latter, descriptive
of the floats and their signific-
ance which will be broadcast
over WCOA, the Pensacola radio
station, and over WRUF, Florida
big station at Gainesville. Ar
rangements have been made to
have the broadcasts made direct
from the Centennial grounds in
Port st. Joe over leased telephone
wires to Pensacola and Gaines
vile where, in-each of which the
story will ben put upon the air.
Competent ahhorAlcers with dra-
matte voices are Studying the text
so as to be letter perfect the night
of the broadcast.
Horse racing will be a feature
of the celebration, over a half
mile oval almost on the site OF
the track over which the ''bloods'
of 100 years ago raced their thor
oughbreds for fabulous stakes.
There will be no thoroughbreds
at this revival of the sport of
kings" after a century of silence.
but there will be 100 or more
cow ponies and woods riders
horses on the track ready to race
for the $1,000 in purses offered.

AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Lit-
tie boats that look like toys are
playing the first important role
in the development of Uncle
Sans bigger and better fleet.
These boats are tiny models of
the super-dreadnoughts, the
speedy cruisers and the giant air
plane carriers which are to be
built under the billion dollar
naval expansion program.
Naval engineers at Washing
toms historic navy yard are max
ing scientific tests of the water
behavior" of these models in or
der to determine the performance
possibilities of various types of
warship bulls, particularly their
FRACTIONAL and MATCHMAKING re-
Sistance.
The underwater bodies of the
model boats are exact srnall-scale
representations of the proposed
hulls for war vessels, their resist
ance to propulsion being rela-
lively identical with the resist
ance of the big ships.
Show Power Needed
The amount of pull required to
move the little boats through the
water at different speeds is re-
corded by special instruments.
With these measurements, the
engineers can determine how
much engine power a battleship
with a similar hull will need to
travel at various desired speeds.
The tests, engineers say, have
proved to be SO percent accurate
as indicators of actual perform
ance. So, no naval vessel of con-
sequence is constructed without
tests at the experimental basin.
A Acton carriage, a sort of
travelling crane which runs from
one end to the other and lows a
ship model at any speed desired
up to Is knots, has dynamome-
ter which registers the amount
of pull required to propel the
model at various speeds.
Some models are fitted with
small propellers rotated by cleo
trio motors. Propeller perform
ance is studied with a view to de-
veloping the maximum in ship
driving efficiency.
Speed Increases Resistance
Friction between the skin of a
ship and the water is the cause OF
nearly all the resistance to pro-

pulsion at low speeds. The waves
made by a ship travelling at low
speeds set up practically no re-
sistance but when the speed is in
creased the resistance increases
rapidly. For example, the Levia-
than had no MATCHMAKING resis-
lance at 8 knots but at % knots
that resistance was IS percent.
In testing projected battleship
hullS, naval engineers try out 20
or more different shaped bows,
usually several years ahead of
actual designing. Some models
now being tested may not be in
corporated in ship design for 10
years.
Meanwhile, a new $3,50O,OO0
model testing station for the
navy is being built at Cardarock,
Md, a few miles up the Potomac
from Washington. Expected to be
the finest plant of its kind in the
world, IL Will nave four basins of
varying dimensions.
Just A Small Drop
Model boat testing is only a
small drop in the big bucket of
naval planning. Building a 35,-
000-ton, $70,000,00O battleship,
crammed with intricate machin-
cry and bearing ponderous tur-
rets and gigantic guns, calls for
10 separate preliminary design
studies and requires from four to
six years time.
A drafting force of some 500
men is necessary to develop and
issue about 5000 plans on detail
designs. In addition, 5000 more
plans are developed by agencies
outside the building yard.

Mention Key West
Catholic Priests

In the November issue of The
Southern Jesuit work of two
priests of st. Mary's Catholic
church is mentioned review of
Catholic work in the South.
Following are the articles:
Anti Youngpriest-
Miss Eliza, So years old, served
the venerable Father Ghione
secular pastor in Key Vest
as his housekeeper, until the
day she closed his dead eyes.
Not believing that "the child
is father to the man" she has
declared herself anti-young-
priest. So it was a real ac-
complishment when Father
Jerome Mullin, 81, not very
old, but very very wise, fin
ally won her confidence and
her admiration. He is rather
good at winning confidence
and admiration, as the people
of Key West will tell you.
White and Black Americans
and Cubans are waking up
to find themselves Catholics
again. And it's not the sun
in their eyes that rouses
them; it's Father Mullins
sparkling smile.
Ethiopia's Hands
Ethiopia shall stretch forth her
hands to God. So says the
Scripture. And in Key West,
Florida, Ethiopia was very
impressively stretching forth
her hands in all-day adora-
ton of the Blessed Sacra-
ment during and in union
with the Eucharistic Con-
gress in New Orleans. That
Negro parish is living an ac-
lively Catholic life; and the
man behind it all is Father
Alphonse Maureau, ST., an
actively priestly priest who
lives intensely the lives of
his colord flock. A by no
means passive citizen of Key
West, he helps to build the
towns progress, and in it the
rightful place of his Negro
children in Christ.
