BRITISH PENETRATE HINDENBURG LINE
HAIG'S TROOPS NOW ADVANCING

Italians Lose Berat to Austrians; Also Lose Heavily
in Men and Material

Smashing through the German lines
in northern Picardy, the British have
reached the western and northern out
skirts of Bapaume, which is consider
ed the keystone of the enemy line in
that sector of the front.
The London official statement shows
slow but continued progress on almost
every part Of the line from Croisellers
to well below the Somme.
= The French once more are advanc=
ing toward Roye, scoring successes
near st. Mard. Heavy German coun-
ter attacks were repulsed in this re-
gion. There is little indication, how
ever that the German armies are de-
moralized, for at every point they
seem to be compelling the British and
French to extend themselves to the

A telegram received by the Tribune
last night from Senator D. U. Fletch-

tration has granted winter tourist
rates to Florida on the same basis as
to California, which is at the rate of
ninety per cent of double the one-way

ito to hit epresent rates as the old
tourist rates did to the then regular
rates.

limit June /, and stop-over to be al

Two Tarpon Men
Honored by U. S.
Oliver LeMay and Grady
Thompson Selected to
Become Master
Shipbuilders

q 1t is quite an honor to have Uncle
Sam pick you out of great throng
of workers and sey Il have been
watching you and feel that you are
capable of greater things, come with
me and | will teach them to you"
This is what was said to two Tar
pom men who were working on Uncle
Sans ships as will be shown by the
following extract from the A. S. B.
Co. News:
"Yard Men Secure Special Training in
Shipbuilding.
"On account of their special apti-
tude and promise, ten of the men in
this yard have been selected for the
training center for ship carpenters
and leaders recently started by the
American Shipbuilding company un-
der the guidance of the Emergency
Fleet corporation. Mr.. R. E. Ellis,
formerly with the training center at
the Hog Island ship yards at Phila-
delphia, is in charge Of the work, and
has for some time been doing this
same class of lecturiag 70 mon from
the shipyards who are anxious to bet
ter themselves at their trade.
"The training center here is s'n1 lar
to training centers at other shinyards,
which have been developed by far
seeing minds who could sense the c.; :
ing need for better trained men in
these times of stimulated production.
AT the time this country entered the
war there were only few thousands
of men who had ever had any training
as ship carpenters, and today there is
a heavy demand for nearly quarter
of a million men who can do the wor!,
on wooden ships. The onl, thing left
to be done is to train men who have
been high grade house carpenters and
who have the knowledge and skill and
patience to lead and instruct less ex-
perienced men. 1t is with this idea in
mind that the American Shipbuilding
company is training tn Sc men, that
they may be spread around the yard
and lead on the other men, If the re-
suits justify it, the training will be
kept up and other classes selected to
follow when the present class is fin
ished.
"These ten men work with Mr.. Ellis
eight hours each day for six days in
the week, and their lectures are being
given in the Glynn high school build
ing. The men do not do any work
in the yards while in training as the
special system adopted by the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation takes prac-
tically all their time and attention.
The work is nearly all concerned with
framing, ceiling, planking and deck
work, including thorough training
as to the various parts of the ship and
: their uses.
The following men taking this train
ing are to be congratulated:
"W. o. Bannon, A. M. Morgan, J.
W. Fradosio, Charles Millsap, Oliver
LeMay (Tarpon Springs), Victor Sar-
Wis, R. E. Lyons, c. c. Hilton, M
Cleghorn, H. G. Thompson (Anclote).'

One Of the most effective methods
adopted by food officials has been the
enlistment OF women's clubs and other
civic organizations to aid In cleaning
campaigns. 1t Is possible under the
best conditions for food inspectors TO
visit any one store but q few times
each year. The members of local or
CARNATIONS and the housewives who
visit the stores daily can exert an eff
fective influence for cleanliness once
their interest Is aroused and the i'm
portance of the work pointed out to
them. AS soon as the proprietor of
food shop realizes that his customers
will leave him unless he complies with
reasonable sanitary requirements he at
once falls In line.
Federal, State and City Cooperation.
Federal, state and city food officials
cooperate in enforcing laws applicable
to foods and drugs, and in conducting
educational campaigns for cleanliness.
At a recent meeting of the Association
of American Dairy, Food and Drug
Officials plans for closer cooperation
were worked out. City food officials
were admitted to membership in the
association and arrangements were
made for the organization of state
associations of food control officials and
for associations Of sectional groups OF
federal, state and city food officials
who have common conditions and com
mon problems.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
does not confer authority to regulate
directly the sanitary conditions OF
stores and shops where food is put up
or sold. However, If food becomes
contaminated in an insanitary store.
or in any other manner, and is after
ward shipped iato interstate COM
merce, the party responsible for the
shipment may be prosecuted under the
federal law, and the contaminated food
| may be seized.

Honey-Producine Plants.
The white-clover belt is the most I'M
portant honey-produclng region, be-
cause 1t furnishes not only the leading
commercial honey but also more than
Sne-half Of the honey crop of the en-
tire country. This belt extends from
Maine to Virginia and westward to the
semiarid plains. From white clover
alone is secured about one-tenth OF the
nations crop of honey. This kind Is
almost colorless, has heavy body.
and distinct but delicate and de-
licious flavor.
Alfalfa honey Is second In CONNER
cial Importance. Its region Is mostly
west of the one hundredth meridian.
and 1t Is colorless, except In the South
western states, where it darkens to
amber. with distinctive spicy or
minty flavor.
Third in Importance for honey pro-
duction Is sweet clover, native and
mostly wild legume growing abundant
ly throughout all of the western noun
tain and plateau states and In less de-
gree eastward to the Atlantic states.
About per cent Of the surplus
honey-that is, the honey that bees do
not require for their own sustenance
comes from the flowers Of the cot
| ton plant, 3h per cent from the bass
| wood tree or American linden, about
3 per cent each from the tulip poplar
| tree and buckwheat, and 2 per cent
from the goldenrod. a widespread plant
that produces highly favored, golden
honey. The mountain sages OF Cali
fornia produce type of honey OF
much Importance and, by common con
sent, one of the finest Of all in absence
OF color. In density, and In flavor. Al
least 80 per cent Of the honey croT
comes from the clovers and alfalfa.
