September there will be little more beef
than usual and for the last three months of
1914 supplies may swell some IL per cent.
A cheerful note is expressed by War
Food Administrator Marvin Jones, who
promises that in the coming year meat
will be more evenly distributed. Machin-
cry is now in operation to black out the black
markets. More good news: The government
is trying to figure way to give the housewife
less fatty pork cuts. More real meat for your

MILK. Chances are you will be able to buy

Administrator Marvin Jones; Roy F. Hen

Major General Edmund B. Gregory. Quarter

women too, all responsible for the food on our
plates
Not one of them can say absolutely this
and that will be 50. But their predictions are
based ON rows of figures miles long, not on
wild guessing. These are as true as any pre-
dictions can be.
These national planners depend on you for
big Victory gardens. They count heavily on
the women to use the foods available in a way
to keep the family diet up to snuff.
Said DR.. Norman Gold, whose job as Chief
of the Civilian Requirements Branch of the
F.D.A. is to see that civilians get their right
full share out of the national food pile: I'VE
can get the basic foods you need. We can
distribute these to your hometown markets,
but that is all the government can do. Then
Madam Housewife takes over and if she
wastes it or fails to cook it in way to get out
all the food values. her family will be just
that much underfed."

Here's the pinch: no more fluid milk and

ATTORNEY STONE SAYS Or
GANIzATIoN is NOT FOR
PURPOSE OF FIGHTING THE
opA

1.-The idea that the Key West
Landlords Association was or
ganized to fight the OPA rent-ceil-
ing office in Key West is a lniseon-
ception," julius Stone, attorney
for the association, said today.
I'VE believe there are some in
equalities in rent ceilings in Key
West, and our aim is to adjust
them. Instead of fighting the OPA,
we will cooperate with the office
here as far as is possible. There are
some legal provisions that might
have been misapplied, and it is
matters of that nature that we will
check up fully in the hope of put
ting all rentals in Key West on a
fair basis"
Sixty landlords or their rerpe-
sentatives were present at the or
ganization of the Key West Land
lords Association The following
officers were named:

tary and treasurer, Mrs. Alfeld.

MAIN QUESTION REvoLvEs
AROUND PLANS OF ALLIES
FOR OPENING OF SECOND
FRONT IN EUROPE
By Associated Press,

LONDON. Mar. l.-Are the
Allies getting ready TO open a
second front somewhere in
western Europe?
That question was asked today
because of the continued heavy
bombing of Germany and the
countries she occupies. American,
Canadian and British planes con-
tinued today to blast Germany's
industrial cities and military in
stallations along coastal fronts.
At noon today the raids passed
the one hundredth hour without
let-up. Every minute, since last
Thursday, the Air Ministry said,
bombs have been dropped some
where in Germany or on territory
occupied by her. The blasting has
gone on day and night, and news
received here from authoritative
sources says that the nerves of the
German people have been fraz-
zled 90 ~ 8AS
1t was reported today unofficial
ly that commando raids are likely
to be started to supplement the
air raids. If such raids are con-
templated, General Bernard
Padgett, in command of English
home troops, said today that the
men under him are primed to
strike heavy blows. They are
trained to the minute, he added,
and are anxious to take the often
