oversize were sitting. But for the
most part the roads had been silent.
We had driven for miles upon mics
without meeting a man.
Yet here, in the very area OF the
fight itself, the roads were alive with
traffic. American ammunition trains
creaked forward, the heavy combat
wagons drawn by six and eight
mules. Trucks hooted along and guns
rumbled forward and the clanking

WHEN We COME BACK
FROM THE THEATER

Jim's Job has not quite reached the
point yet where he can afford after
theater suppers, and the other night,
when we struck our little house,
Just gave him a surprise. Before we
went out | had made some cheese
sandwiches, with both the bread and
the cheese cut thin. They would
have been good, anyway, because l
had favored the cheese with a few
drops of Al Sauce, and you know
what that means. 1t isn't Worces-
tershire, you know-I call 1t my
miracle worker" But, instead Of
serving them cold, l toasted them
under the hot flame, turning them
often, SO that the cheese melted and
ran down into the bread. Jim had
four, and would have eaten nine,
too, but he Is still a polite husband.
There is. something about that AL
Sauce which makes kitchen a place

Why Big Guns Were Not Told.

The explanation is simple. At Mont
didier heavy guns are in permanent
emplacements. Here the line Of battle
has swung and flowed. Neither side has
been able or has cared to bring up its
heaviest artillery. knowing that In to-
morrow's movements they may be cut
off, The artillery work has been as yet
largely a matter of field artillefy-ths
75s on the allied side and the IT'S on
the German side. 1t is only when the
fighting becomes stabilized and the two
ksides dig in and the war of position be-
gins again that the big guns will come
up.
For miles back of the battle area
the roads had been apparently de-
serted. Sometimes a staff car hooted
along them, or a ration cart jolted
dustily by. Here and there belated
refugees were making their way out.
Their great oxen paced deliberately
in front OF their huge wagons. or
their. absurdly stiRy donkeys pulled

Although the men are kept guessing

Needless to say that as soon as the

TIDES.
OFFICERS DISCOVER
BOOZE CAFETERIA?

Jim Bennett, colored, was running
one of the handiest, barrooms in town,
according to Deputy Sheriffs Marble
and Tarrants, who arrested him at
Moro Castle Garden and charged him
with the illegal selling of whiskey.
Benefits stock of booze was toted in
his pockets. it is alleged. Service was
on the cafeteria plan, SO to speak. His
customers knew, according to the
charges, where to locate the stuff, and
the purchase was effected by the sim
pie process of reaching into BENEFITS
pocket, taking out a bottle ans drop
ping in the price in the place of it.
Bennett, it is explained, had nothing
to do with the transaction.
The accused was taken before Judge
Johnson, who, after hearing the al
legged facts in the case, bound him over
for the court of record.

A private report making the mid

companied by comment that southern

could possibly exceed 100000 bales

Flu. STATE COLLEGE.

Tallahassee, Sept. 2o-fSpeciaI)-
Today marked the beginning of the
fourteenth annual session of the Flori-
da State College for Women and there
are approximately $50 students en-
rolled.
The formal opening took place in the
college auditorium at 9 o'clock, and
President Conrad presided over the
cerem onies. Superintendent of public
instruction, Honorable w y. Sheats,
was present and addressed the stu
dents. Short addresses of welcome
were also made by the ministers Of the
city: Rev. Francis YarnelI, rector ST.
Johns Episcopal church.; Rev r. G.
Newsome, pastor of the Presbyterian
church; Rev. j. Dean Adcock, pastor
of the Baptist church, and Rev. s. W.
Lawler, pastor of the Methodist
church. The devotional services were
conducted by Rev. J. Dean Adcock
Fifty-two counties of the state are
represented in the student body, and
there are a number of applications
that were turned down because it is
impossible to accommodate them.
Every available room is engaged, and
many students are compelled to live
off the campus proper. Fully fifty
students from outside states were re-
fused admission the preference being
given to Florida girls.
The faculty this year is practically
the same as last year. The school Of
music offers new feature and the
director of the school of music Miss
Ella. Scoble Opperman, announced that

One of the Strongeot features of the

able to secure any information they
wish by consulting the girls who wear

Glasses will be conducted six days
in the week instead of five. this year
and it is expected that the regular
schedule will be in operation within

DEiCHAM TELLSKIDs
To SAVE hUTSHELLs

When the American people are told
OF the simple ways in which they can
help in winning the war. not few o.
them smile in an incredulous manner
Now let them smile at this latest
statement.
The saving Of the pits of apricots,
peaches, pIums. dates. cherries and the
saving Of the shells of Brazil nuts,
hickory nuts, walnuts and butter nuts
will be help in winning the war. OF
course every one will ask how. The
answer is simple. our scientists have
discovered that these pits and shells
OF nuts when burned, make the best
carbon obtainable for use in gas masks.
The call has gone out to every state
for the saving of fruit pits and nut
shells.
What more patriotic way could the
children be employed during the
autumn months in Florida, than to go
to the woods and collect hickory nuts.
which grow in such abundance in some
localities. These can be collected in
lots and turned over to the local chap
ter OF the Red Cross. OF course the
hickory nuts can be cracked and the
kernels extracted as far as possible.
The shells are as useful broken as they
are unbroken. Here is an opportunity
for every boy and girl to enlist in a
real war work, and every donation is
direct blow against German warfare
II is the little things that count in
winning the war and this is one of the
very great little things. The Boy
Scouts and all other patriotic organi-
cations are urged by Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Braxton Beacham to enlist
in this work of procuring and saving
fruit pits and nut shells in order that
they may be converted into carbon to
fiji the gas masks.
