1 (From a Staff Correspondent Of the

a chance today to show their da sh and
skill in semi-open fighting and took
ample advantage Of it. At the south
crn pivot Of the So called Hindenburg
line. which is supposed to be about at

! occasions with the Germans, who at

Of the Cnuy plateau. which is a strong

French soldiers gradually push away
the German opposition and attain the
points they We're seeking to Occupy

Close on German Heels.
The French had kept close on the
| heels Of the retiring Germans since
| they quit scissors, never giving them
u moments respite until the pursuers
occupied the sort of triangle formed
by the three points of Crouy, Missy
Sur Aisne and Ront Rouge on the
place the Germans intended to cease
their retirement as was shown by their
abandoning the work of saving down
fruit trees.
1t was this wanton devastation by
the Germans in the country around
scissors and other places which so in
ccnsed the French infantry, composed
mostly of peasants and farmers, that
they could scarcely be restrained from
a desperate rush forward after the re-
treating foe. But prudence prevailed
and careful handling enabled them
eventually to capture from the Ger
mans many positions which had been
prepared for stern defense such as
Nuillery and Pont Rouge.

AS the correspondent watched the
countryside over which the attacking
troops were proceeding. not a vcstise
could be seen of the advancing men on
foot. They trickled through under
cover of the brusf,wood until they had
assembled in sufficient strength and
near enough for striking Il blow. Mean

Mr.. Casey said. but he dwclt also

slant vigilance which is the lot of the
reporter.
Professor Casey told of interviews he
had one Christmas day, by way of OK
planning how news writer's know few
holidays in their work.
Mr.. Casey interviewed Otis Skinner
one Christmas day when the great ac-
tor was playing in "kismct." Mr.
Skinner had not celebrated the Yulc :
tide at his home in rs years.
'Newspapcrmon have the open

ing almost to intimacy" continued the
speaker. Mr.. Casey had the privilege
of calling upon many interesting men

Mr.. Booth says that for quite long
time he has been trying to sell furn-

as long as his stock lasts to sell at
the purchasers price, and if anybody

Central Florida Highway Assn
To Meet In HaineS City Dec. IL

Secretary L. P. Dickie of the Cen
trail Florida Highway Association has
mailed to members notice of the semi.
annual meeting to be held Tuesday,
December 18th, at Haines City. The
notice was dated at Tampa, Novem-
ber 2Sth, and says:
my Dear Sir:-Every member of
the Association has read in various
publications, newspapers, magazines
and trade journals, discussions pro
and con concerning expenditure Of
public funds for road improvement.
Right at this particular time several
millions of dollars are being spent in
Florida on good roads, and consider
able additional amount is needed to
complete the State system of high
ways. Should we or should we not
continue the road building program?
That is a question of vital importance
rot only to all Florida but to the Ma
tion.
1T will make you feel good to ride
over some of Polk county's finished
asphalt highways en- route to Haines
City. Our Director J. w. Sample, of
that city, in his report on roau con-
ditions in that county, seems to in
dicate that very little rough going
will have to be encountered by any Of
the members, and the good road will
more than pay up for the bad. Let's
have your attention, your co-opera-
tion and your support in this work
of such importance to Florida.
1.-The semi-annual meeting is called
for Tuesday morning, December 11th,
n Haines City. Fla, the hub of some
fine raidiating asphalt highways. The
meeting will be called to order q

"The executive committee and di.
rectors will meet on the evening of
the 10th. Monday night
I'VE urge your attendance at this
meeting.
Yours very truly,
a. P. DICKIE,
Secretary"

SYRUP CONTAINERS
AND PREVENT FERMENT

fermentation in syrup is caused by
l,olds, yeasts or bacteria. The Uni
varsity of Florida Experiment Sta :.
tior offers these suggestions for get
ting rid of the cause, so that syrup
may be kept for the whole year il
desired
The preservation of syrup consists
in sterilizing it, which can be done
hy continuous boiling until all the
mold spores or microbes which cause
f, ,rnentation have been DESTROYED
This sterilization may be accom-
oished by heating it to lS0 degrees
Fahrenheit. Fermentation, however.
Hil take place even though the syr-
up has been heated much above 18o
degrees, unless the containers into
which the syrup is placed have also
teen completely sterilized.
1t is practically impossible to thor
oughly sterilize barrel under the
o. dinary conditions around a small
syrup plant In most cases the fer
n.ntation that syrup undergoes af-
Ter if has been standing three or four
1nonths in barrels is due to the con-
dition of the barrels when the syrup
is placed in them. For this reason
syluE placed in cans or bottles will
usually keep a longer period If the
containers have been properly ster-
ilised by thorough boiling before the
syrup is placed in them. Under this
c,rdition. syrup will keep for an al
most indefinite period if the cans are
iillled while the syrup is still hot. and
lare Immediately sealed, to prevent
further contamination from outside
sources. Sterilization of both syrup
and container is therefore the only
means of preventing fermentation in
cane syrup.
II should be borne in mind that
cleanliness in manufacture, from thu.
time the cane enters the mill until
the syrup is placed in the container
is the main thing in keeping syrup
sweet The rollers of tho mill should
be washed in lime water when
stopped for any length of time. The
Juice cutters and all surfaces owe.
which the juice passes must also BE-
thoroughly cleaned. The walls of the
buildings and the surroundings
should be kept clean.
Where it is practica BILE, cold stor
age will facilitate the Keeping of the
syrup. Fermentation of syrup doe,
not take place at low temperatures
So that if the syrup can be put ;r
cold storage it should keep almos
indefinitely. 1t is mistaken idea
that syrup is readily perish abl.
product. There should be no NOR,
difficulty in preserving it than ther,
is III canning sweet potatoes.
