Glory Of Scissors.
July IS, 1918, found the First divi-
sion In front Of scissors. In front of
the First division were trenches lit
orally filled with German machine
guns plenty Of ammunition. Back of
these trenches was banked tier after
tier of artillery. 1t looked like 1t would
be impossible to break the line with
flesh and blood. Our infantry had to
advance across open wheat fields a
half mile wide. face machine guns that
were arranged by traversing device
so that the shots would strike a man
about the breast.
But the infantry went forward close
" followed by the artillery. 1t was a
genuine surprise! Prisoners said that
no one but a fool or a mad man would
attempt to take such a formidable line.
At dawn the line was breaking! By

FOWLER RESTRICTS
SALE OF OYSTERS.
Bans Any From Sources Not
Given Approval by Health
Department.

Hereafter no oyster dealer in Wash
ington will be permitted to sell oysters
unless the health department has
approved the source from which they
are shipped.
An amendment to the health regu-
lation putting this requirement into
effect was enacted by the Commissions
ers today aftert Health officer Fowler
had informed the Commissioners that
lie was advised by the State food and
drug commissioner Of Maryland that
certain firms conducting shell fish
establishments in Maryland are ship
ping into the District oysters: and
other shell fish under sanitary condi-
tions not approved by the Maryland
State health authorities.
Meeting Held Here.
Dr. Fowler pointed out in his
memorandum to the Commissioners
that early this year conference was
held by the Surgeon General OF the
United States Public Health Service
with State representatives, at which
an agreement was reached whereby
all oyster producing states would is
sue regulations for the safe conduct
of the shellfish industry.
From information reaching the
Health Department" DIR. Fowler
stated. "it appears that certificates
are being issued by the proper State
authorities TO all concerned in con-
Quoting shellfish Establishments in
their particular State In a manner
satisfactory to the authorities. In
cases where proper sanitary safe
guards are not employed certificates
are refused.
LAS the Health Department of the
District of Columbia has not means
of its own of determining whether
oysters are being handled in a safe
manner at the plants where they are
shipped it must depend upon the
certificate of the proper State author
tiles for such information. 1t seems
TO me, therefore. that no oyster or
other Shellfsh should be permitted
to be offered for sale or sold in the
District of Columbia unless evidence
is at hand to show that these marine
products are safe for human con
SUMPTION
The regulation as adopted by the
Commissioners, and which becomes eff
fective after so days. reads:
NO shellfish shall he offered for
sale or sold in the District of Colum-
bia that are not obtained from sources

He grinned also when the scribes
got on the touchy question of his

thrown at him was: Did the Presf-

Wwere introduced to him?"
'Klan?" His smile was broad and
brilliant. Really, I don't under
