Asked why tropical storms have been christened anew this year, becoming consistently female, ra- ther than male or neuter, Gold- smith said; “Maybe it's because these storms are as changeable as wo- men are said to be.” In any ease the entire roster of storm names was changed in an agreement between the U.

Other arrests made last night included Del Hoskins, owner of the Cabana Bar and Jack Grey of Jack and Bonnie’s Club, both on Duval Street. Both were charged with serving minors and Grey with per- mitting a nuisance by allowing “loud singing and juke box.” All were released on $250 bond for appearance in city court today. Cerezo and Ramirez teamed to make the raid which came as a surprise just two weeks after their last wholesale drive which filled the city jail with bar owners and strip teasers. But the only bar owner to be convicted, was Horace Young of the Casa Cayo Hueso who was fined $100 for serving a minor. All others were released because the charges were improperly ced. A host of B-Girls and entertain- ers were conyicted and paid fines ranging from $50 to $150 at that . | time. That the bar owners are ap- parently being more careful was evidenced by the fact that Cerezo was able to find but three violations in his check of the bars last night.
