Sunday saw a young man standing outside, hesitant but apparently anxious to get in. The proprietor opened the door, found that the young man wanted a marriage certificate, let him have not one, but two, just to make it a sure bargain.

Roosevelt is only a fifth cousin of theirs. The president, himself, has never been heard to claim a closer relationship and might even be glad to high-spade his fifth cousins on a proposition of double or nothing with a private Reaming for the latter alternative no less eager than their own.

And, considering the respective achievements of the two factions, the insistent disclaimers of the Colonel and Alice 4. sound as though the Plaza hotel at 25 Bowery were to station a barker in front of the place to announce over and over: "This hotel has nothing but the name in common with the Plaza hotel at Central Park." Anybody could guess as much. Perhaps the analogy is a little harsh, for the colonel made a record for bravery in the war and there is nothing shabby about him or Mrs. Longworth, but actually we heard them the first time and didn't need telling even then.

"You see, knitting has been a fad at the university for several weeks," Miss Leah Mae Hunter, comely co-ed, explained as the tugged at a pair, "and what could be cuter to make than mittens?" Cool winds whipped around the corners of the camp houses in Lowry park yesterday as more than 50 girls from all corners of the state, daughters of humble homes, gathered there for the opening of Tampa's first national youth administration camp.

A score or two more will arrive during the next few days. The camp, to last three and a half months and to be followed by another to run until June 15, is equipped to take care of 100 girls, who will be trained and taught the elements of successful womanhood. The girls range in age from 18 to 25 years, and most of them are from rural communities. All are from families on relief. This work will be done under the direction Of Mrs.

SAYS JEALOUSY DOESN'T HELP LOVE Can a person be the subject of love and jealousy at the same time? That was the question before psychology students at the University of Tampa yesterday. "Jealously," said a co-ed, "usually makes a man care more." Prof. C. A. Morley took the opposite point of view.

"If you really want a man to love you, don't try to make him jealous," he said. "Jealousy does not increase love." HSM HSM flit 1 J' Jl' i 'L '-r 'f v-i? i -T J. fcf the others would be dismissed. A few hours later, Horace E.

The government charged the plan embraced facilities for manufacturing, rectifying and distributing liquor over a wide area.

Separate Case In ruling on the motion for a directed verdict of acquittal yesterday. Judge Akerman said he had made a careful study of the testimony and concluded the indictment covered not one but four separate conspiracies which were not necessarily connected with each other. Under the law, he said, there was no alternative to the dismissal of the charges unless the government attorneys elected to proceed with the case on one of the four schemes cited They agreed to the directed verdict of acquittal for all. Defendant is Drunk Court then recessed and reconvened at 2 o'clock for the trial of Lloyd and Prine on another liquor charge. George P.

Raney, assistant district attorney, announced Prine had shown up drunk a few minutes before and had been locked up by the marshal's office. Paul Lake, Prine's attorney, said he had no excuses to offer for his client and that he had told him to report on time for his trial. Judge Akerman ordered the issuance of a formal commitment and a contempt citation with instructions that Prine should be brought into court today.

The day is now on toward the cool of the evening.

THIS HAPPENS TO BE F. D. DAY This is Franklin D. Roosevelt's day and the sun would shine no brighter for him if he were brother to his; fifth cousins because he Is just as big and strong and noisy in his own right that other president from whom the colonel and Alice inherit such public importance as they possess. As to whether Franklin D.

Roosevelt is a great president or a national calamity they have the same right as the rest of us to strong personal opinion. There are many Americans who still hold the same opinion of their father and those who revere his name and defend his reign as ardently as Jim Farley admires Roosevelt, 2nd. Their pride in their father is admirable even by persons who disagreed with him, refused to accept his word without corroboration and regarded his as a selfish and glory-hungry demagog. Any American would be proud to be the son or daughter of a president, even of Rutherford B. Hayes or Warren Harding.

There are actually some at present who are immensely proud to be cliildren of Franklin Roosevelt though not much given to boasting of their fifth-cousinship to young Ted and Alice. In fact, mention of this fifth-cousinship comes only from the other side.

Organization of the society "for higher ethics and with no restriction as to fees or practice of medicine by contract" was announced a week ago, a short time after the Hillsborough County Medical socity reorganized under new constitution and by-laws that barred doctors engaged in practice of medicine by contract. Announcement of the Latin-American group made no reference to the action of the other society, but Dr. Martorell said in a statement the organization would have no restrictions as to contract practice and sponsors of the society have no intention to antagonize the Latin-American societies or mutual aid societies of Tampa.

In the legislature he could have raised hell, as his father surely would have done, to prevent the expulsion of the socialist members but failed to drama-tjjse the case.

He should have shaken the very pillars against the state prohibition enforcement act but missed. And, though he afterward got credit for opposing the Teapot Dome transfer while serving in the navy department, that was a chance in which a real Roosevelt would have roared all over the country and made himself great though he wrscked the Harding administration.
