mittee Thursday was most strenuous,
eighty children being examined. TWEEN

feet. This makes a wonderful show
i ing for Tarpon Springs.
Mrs. J. C. Beekman, chairman of the

have been of assistance to her have
been faithful in attendance and eff
cient in work.
Miss Elizabeth Skinner, president of
the county federation of womens
clubs has been in constant attendance,
lending valuable aid in all depart
ments of the work.

Mr.. ]. c. Beekman
Visits Congressman
Herbert j. Drane!

Mr.. j. C. Beelxman called at The
Leader Office this afternoon and said
he had Just returned from two weeks
in Washington, where he had de-
lightful visit with our congressman,
Herbert ]. Drane, and the ambassador
from Mexico, Mr.. Ignacio Bonillas.
Mr.. Beeknlan reports that Congress
man Drane was very much interested
in Tarpon Springs and asked many
questions and showed that he kept
in close touch with what is going on
here. He remarked that he had a
very kindly feeling for our little city
rs he had been shown so many cour-
tesies when visiting us, and that he
was more than anxious to render any
assistance in his power leading to our
advancement. He said he was work
ing hard for his district in particular
and the good old state of Florida in
general.
Mr.. Beekman said it was distinct
pleasure to converse with the Mexican
ambassador as he was so well posted
on all subjects and was man of most
charming personality. The ambassa-
dor~was especially interested in Tar
pom Springs on account of its being
the home of his sister, Mrs. S.. B.
Parker.
There was other business which took
Mr.. Beekman to the nations capital
and which may require another trip
but this is of private nature. He
said travelling northward was very I'M
comfortable and crowded, while COM
ing home was a joy.

MAKERS Of A|RP[ANES
FAIL TO MEET DEMAND

Failure of manufacturers of combat
airplanes to keep up the program of
supply and the general nature of the
German drive in northern France were
explained by the war council to mem
bers OF the House military affairs COM
mittee at the weekly cooperating con-
ference at the War Department today.
Members of the war council said the
combat planes were short of the pro-
gram and that there was no telling
when the normal supply under the pro-
gram would be obtainable. The private
contractors simply had been unable to
keep pace with the plans.
The council explained that it hoped
to remedy this situation soon. but
could not say how soon it could catch
up with the program. 1t explained the
difficulties in the way of the produc-
ton and supply of these fighting
planes, and did not ask for more ap-
preparations, but wanted Congress to
understand the situation.
Just what the general effects of the
German drive are so far was not
known, according to the war council.
Without detailed information, and with
no word since last night. the war
council was disposed to believe that
the German operations now are part
of the great general drive that has
been talked of so long. The American
forces have not been involved yet
