Washington is calling into active ser
vice so to speak, some OF the ablest
business forces of the United states.
The presumption is strong that others
may be called into like service before

When George Westinghouse was liv-
ing he was accustomed to speak with
enthusiasm of the prospect for great
development of electrcic industry in
Russia and of the part the Wrestling
house company would take in that de-
velopment, The name Westinghouse be-
came a familiar one throughout Russia.
1t was regarded almost as a trade
mark which represented manufacture
and production beyond compare
Undoubtedly it was due TO the West
inghouse name in part and also to the
careful investigation which was made
by the Russian government before the
Russian revolutions, that led to the
placing by that government with the

of those who are leaders in the pros
ducion of moving pictures that Mr..
Gerard's gains from the sale OF his
book are less than those which he has
already received or is about to receive
from those who have caused the book
to be adapted to the use of the films.
The report commonly made is that the
negotiation with MIR. Gerard for film
production led to the payment to him
of 100000. That seems a large sum.
but the belief is general that it is
fully justified. for there VIII be a gem
eral demand throughout the country to
see by the eye as they have already
read upon the pinted page, the story
of Ambassador Gerard's experience in
Germany, In conservative publishing
circles it is the belief that Mr.. Gerard's
pecuniary gains-which is something
he scarcely looked for when he began
to write the boolx-from the sale of
the book and from the moving pictures
will be not far from 100000.

Before you can be buried in England
your sugar card must be produced. The
registrar OF vital statistics, before he
issues certificate Of death, is required
to make certain whether the dead person
was registered under the sugar distribu-
ton scheme. This is done, it is said, to
prevent fraud, as INSCRIPTIONS persons
might continue to use a dead mans sugar
card for a long time unless some means
were taken of canceling it,

Westinghouse company Of very large
contracts for the manufacture of mu-
nttlons This was the held for which
Mr.. Trip was especially qualified. He
gained experience which caused him to
be considered one of the ablest ex-
perts in the manufacture of munitions
Of Pill kinds. He knew how to speed
up production and to do that in such
m.inDer as to make it certain that the
commodities would sustain the most
careful scrutiny before they were ac-
cepted by Russia.
His success in this work 60
great as inevitably to bring the at
tention of the war department ami
especially the chief of the ordnance,
General Crozier, to Mr. Trip. Ino ds-
partment was anxious 10 have ~No-
auction speeded UP, and General Gro
zier was convinced that no man could
better meet the issues of the depart
ment than Colonel Trip. Within a few
weeks it is probable that the depart
ment and to some extent the public
will have visible evidence of the eff
feet of the influence and authority
which Colonel Trip will exert in the
direction of speeding up production of
ordnance.
SOME GAINS DUE TO THE WAR
In this column announcement was
recently made of the aggregate profit
gained by James w. Gerard on account
of the sale of his book. MY Four Years
in Germany" On what appeared to be
excellent authority 1t is stated that
Mr. Gerard had already received $780,
600 for the book and that sum is pre-
sumed to be aside from his receipts for
it's sale in serial form. The book was
very hastily written, In places it
seemed almost to have lacked care and
not to suggest adequately the literary
capacity which has distinguished Mr..
Gerard. But so intense is the interest
of the American people in everything
that appertains to the war. and so
eager are they to learn at first hand
much that took place in Germany and
upon the front, that publications which
contain fairly authoritative descrip-
tions of scenes and incidents of per-
sons according to the understanding

MONEY IN HONEY
Fight the Sugar Shortage With
Bees

1t is not possible for every Flor
ida community to have a sugar
mill, says the State Marketing Bu-
reau, but every farm can have a
beehive.
With long summers and short,
mild winters and an abundance OF
flowers and nectar producing
plants, Florida is most favorably
adapted to agriculture. A. |. Root,
of Ohio, the country's most noted
bee expert, has spent his winters
in Florida for many years, says so.
There is shortage of sugar,
and the supply may get shorter.
Honey is the first form of sweet
ening known to man, and, singu-
lar to say that, for thousands OF
years, bees have not changed the
style of their combs to hold honey
and the honey is just as sweet now
as it was in the days before Solo
mon built his temple.
According to E. F. Philips, api-
culturist of the U. s. Bureau oil
Entomology, the honey crop OF
the United States rarely gets a
bove $50 million pounds a year, OF
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1918-08-15

less than 2 IL pounds per capita.
Mr.. Philips points out that an a
bundant supply of honey would
relieve the sugar scarcity. At the
same time, the value of honey is
very largely met" profit, for the
reason that it is made from "raw
material" that otherwise would be
wasted.
Bees are very wonderful little
animals, and keeping them can be
made an intensely instructive, as
well as profitable business, one in
which women can engage either
as a whole time occupation or as
a side line on a small scale in con-
nection with regular home affairs.
Of course there is more in api-
culture than merely setting up a
hive and letting the bees ego to
it. j." Write to the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture att Washing
