The National Syndicate of Wines and Spirits of France sponsors tours through the wine growing and brandy-making dis- triets of France, wiith the object, of course, of selling the product of the soil. A few years ago an American tour was arranged but the results were not satisfactory to the syndicate as the membership was desig- nated by the Frenchmen as _ wine-sipping | ard not a wine-shipping prospects. The poor will always be with us and always have been. Besides the poor, we have the blind, the lame, and the erippled as well as the helpless children. All these are a problem, and every government has déne something to bring about a better condition for these unfortunates. In old- time Athens, those unable to earn their own living, reeeived a daily subsidy from the state lest any bring shame upon the city by begging for the necessities of life. In Reme of Emperor days, the poor were more numerous in propertien to the population than in modern cities; )},000 males being listed at one time as receiving some form of beunty, without which relief they could net have existed.

Mr. Blacx assed the Court to “over- rule previous decisions which interpreted the fourteenth amendment to include cor- porations.”” This construction, followed by the Court for 2 half century, has given to corporation: .> benefits of the amend- ment’s ban on depriving “any person of life, beauty or property without due pro- eess of law.” Obviously, a corporation is not a ner- son in the sense that it can assume the ob- ligations of a citizen. It is not endowed with a social conscience nor is it capable of bearing arms in defense of a nation. To hold it is a person, entitled to all rights and privileges that our law gives to human beings, is to extend the benefits of citizen- ship without its obligations. Of course, the question arises mainly when States attempt to regulate corpora- tions domiciled in other States. For de- cades the first line of defense of every cor- poration attorney has been the “due pro- cess” clause when everybody knows that the amendment was not passed with any idea of affecting the legal status of cor- porations. . The extension of the clause to include corporations is an example of judi- ua ' cial construction that has been more potent and more far-reaching than the law itself. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL. Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The ice jam that pushed the famous “honeymoon bridge” at Niagara Falls in- to the river several days ago also badly | wrecked the $16,000,000 power plant of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission.

We'll tell you —she has gone the way of the one-horse shay for now with the advent of modern bakeries, such as the Busy Bee at 900 Francis Street, modern women realize they can buy better foods cheap- er. Busy Bee products may be secured at any Key West grocery or at their downtown shop on Du- val Street. This bakery is famous for their “Busy Bee” loaf and make the largest variety of bak- ery products in Key West. The owner, B. E. Brantley, started in the bakery business at Moultrie, Ga. 1929, in fact he purchased the first bakery he was ever in. He came to Key West from Lake- land, Fla., where he had been em- ployed as foreman of the Polk County Baking Company. He pened the Busy Bee in 1925 and established his downtown shop last year.

DELMONICO RESTAURANT Just as the famous Delmonico Chop House in New York City is the rendezvous for the world’s most famous epicures so is the Delmonico Restaurant at 218 Du- val Street the meeting place for those who desire tasty Spanish or Amercian food, prompt service and congenial surroundings. A visit to Key West is not complete until you have eaten at Delmon- ico’s. This famous eating place was established many years ago by Pedro Ugalde and -was located on Front Street. Just prior to the World War the business was lo- cated at 120° Duval Street and owned by Ramon Garcia. Some- time, during the war the business came into the hands of Jose Fer- nandez, who, in 1920, sold the firm to Aquilino Lopez and Jesus Fernandez, at which time the | business was moved to its present location.

COLUMBIA LAUNDRY Today, we would not consider | taking a trip with a covered wag- on and ox team. Times have changed and with it American women have found that the mod- ern laundry has lightened their burden and given them new- found leisure. Today, women are no longer “workers” in the house but “partners” in the home. Key West women are fortunate in hav- ing such a modern, well-equipped laundry in their midst as the Co- lumbia Laundry, 617 Simon- jton Street. This business was established’in 1900 by B. D. Trev- or and the late Geo. F. Morris. The business has steadily increas- ed, originally employing 15 peo- ple, the firm now gives steady ; employment to 40 workers the . year around, thereby directly aid- ing the community it serves. The Columbia Laundry has the mbst modern equipment, they are equipped to wash and clean any- thing from a handkerchief to a rug. Three trucks assure prompt pick-up and delivery. B.D.

LOWE FISH COMPANY One of the most interesting es- tablishments in Key West found by this writer is the Lowe Fish Company, wholesale and retail dealers in seafoods and marine curios.- Established in a very small way by Mr. Lowe with a capital of $8.20, this firm fad its beginning in 1930 and for the past year has been under the capable management of George W. Adams. The Lowe Fish Company brings in fresh fresh daily, there are 10 fishing boats equipped with wells to keep the fish fresh and after arrival at the docks, the fish are cleaned and iced.

Parks, the owner, is mighty particular,as to the mer- chandise he sells and will not sell anything he would not eat him- self and he is particular as to what he eats.

In 1920 he decided to go into business for himself and opened a grocery store at Newton and Florida’ Streets, a location he occupied until 1936 when he moved-to his present address.

Usually people think of alimony as being that stipend pulled through the collective bleeding nose of husbands victimized by gay divorcees. Yet, alimony in its broader sense, is that support or nourishment due from a father and husband to his family. A wife may ask for alimony where there is no divorce. She may ask for alimony and support for herself and children. She may ask, I repeat, and “she may ask. And that is liable to be all the good it will do her.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Takes From The Files Of The Cities A glowing picture of Key West of the future was painted today by Ruth Bryan Owen in her ad- dress to the Rotary Club, which was entertained at the regular meeting by L. P. Schutt, manager of the Hotel Casa Marina. Calling attention to the presence im this city of Postmaster General .New his attendance.-due tw Imes. and Secretary of Commerce Hoo- - ver, Mrs. Owen predicted that the coming of these notables and oth- » ers is only the beginning. They are only the advance guard of the thousands which will shortly make this one of the most popular places on the coast, in fact, on the North American continent. The Over Sea Highway is doing this * and will do a great deal more Mrs. Owen declared. It has al- ready joined Miami and Key West into one big community, Mrs. Owen said, and has so inter- woven the interests of the twe cities that they must be identical from now on. Togethe: she pré@décted, they will become the focal point of the vast and already rapidly growing com- merce between North and South America. True to his promise on leaving the city, P. W.
