nearly well as she does her own language.
MRS. WILSON is, because of her work, member

Her widest philanthropic interest in the poor of the
South She is honorary president of the Southern In

the sale of three of her pictures in New York last No

close friendship all their lives.
Through her unfagging interest and great activity
in Southern industrial and educational matters, the
wife of the President leading spirit in those Southern
charities endowed by such people Andrew Carnegie
Mrs Russell Sage and Mr.. Peabody Miss Berry came
to Washington for the Inauguration of President Viii
and it at that time that she interested Mrs
Wilson in the Berry School.
The Presidents wife is also honorary president of
many other charitable organizations, for all of which
she does actual work. Prominent among them are the
worrans welfare department of the National Civic
Federation and the District of Columbia Women's
Needlework Guild. Invariably she takes box at any
benefit given for the House of Mercy any other phil
anthropic institution and she has regular days for
sending flowers from the White House hospitals and
homes for the sick.
Any who engages in good works will tell you
that this, if adequately carried out, requires great
energy and much time. There two ways of doing
it,-one is writing check and then, which the
easy way, and the other is the Wilson way. 1t is
easy matter to accept position board of managers
of institution; but it quite another thing attend
and time to the projects undertaken for promoting
them. The Wilson's, Washington surprised to see,

MISS MARGARET WILSON, the Presidents eldest

RISE IN SUGAR PRICE
England Forced to Come Over Here
And Purchase Sweets; Hog Cost
Siumped Today

II. A. Patterson of the Patterson
Mercantile company says that the
increase i'm the price of sugar is due
to the fact that an embargo has been
placed on beet sugar from Russia,
Germany and Austria so that Great
Britain is forced to get her sugar
from the United States. The raw
sugar market increased from 1929 at
the beginning of the war to $5.26
yesterday when the American Sugar
Refining company at New York sold
.J.vU0 bags of sugar at that price.
This morning 1t was reported that
holders of raw sugar have withdrawn
from the market and are holding
out for an advance of another cent
in price. The price is very likely
to increase much more IL the sugar
beet crop in Russia, Germany and
Austria cannot be harvested.
Sugar on the local market has in.
creased in price. At the beginning
of the war grocers were selling eigh-
teen pounds 'Ur dollar. A few days
go the amount was cut down to six
teen pounds for dollar, and today
the amount was cut again, so that
buyers of sugar are getting only
fifteen pounds for a dollar.
The hog market slumped today
from sS25 to 1915. Fat cows are
selling at 81 to s. a hundred and
steers are selling for s. to So. The
price of veal calves is So a hundred
and fat lambs are selling for $3.50.
Sheep sell for S. a hundred.

Washington, d. C.. August IL
The dairy division of the department
of agriculture has just completed
series of tests on the change
In temperature of milk in cans dur.
ing transportation from the farm
to the consumer. These tests estab-
lished the Importance OF jacketing
cans of milk with some appropri.
ate insulating material.
1t has been found that milk that
has to be sent only short distances
or preserved for only a few hours
should maintain a temperature OF
less than fifty degrees. Even at
these temperatures, some bacteria
will. multiply and cause the sour
ing of the milk, but the increase
Is slow and during a few hours
no serious results will occur. A
temperature well below fifty degrees
F., however. materially decreases the
rate OF bacterial growth.
On the other hand, where milk
is to be shipped long distances, the
initial temperature must be lower.
assuming that no provision is made
for maintaining the original tenn
perature during transportation. Where
milk is in transit for several hours,
ii Is necessary to cool it down
to near the freezing point. So soon
as the milk can. however, is ex.
posed to air temperature, and es-
pecially to the sun, the tempera-
ture Of the milk begins TO rise
very rapidly and every precaution
should be taken to keep IL from
being raised by the outside heat.
A series of experiments was re-
Gently made in shipping milk cooled
to fifty degrees. In these cases
the cans we're set In an open truck,
with no covering to shield them
from the direct rays OF the sun.
The milk was hauled a distance of
thirteen miles and the average air
temperature during the trip was
s2.65 degrees. The experiment show
ed that the cans that were hair
quilt jacket showed raise OF only
five and one half in three hours
in the temperature of the milk.
The cans that were wrapped with
wet burlap showed a milk tempera-
ture of fifty-eight and one half de-
grees in the same period, or a
raise of eight and one half degrees.
The milk in the unjacketed cans
rose in three hours to seventy-eight
and one half degrees, or a raise
Of twepty-eight and one half de-
grees..
II is obvious from these figures
that It pays to jacket the cans,
in order to maintain low temper
ature during the transportation.

"ARMACEDDON"
[By [. }. Burgessl

During the past few years the
word "Armageddon" has become
familiar one, and now that hostil-
tiles have broken out in Europe we
find the word coming again into
common use in many newspapers
and magazines. 1t Is not likely
that the majority Of magazine read
ers really understand the significance
OF the term. What is meant by
"The Battle of Armageddon?" Where
is "Armageddon and who are to
take part In the battle? AS these
are questions of present interest.
perhaps a few words of explanation
might not be amiss.
The word "Armageddon" is a
Biblical term occurring in the six
teenth chapter OF Revelation and
the sixteenth verse. It Is the name
of the place where the closing bat
tie OF this worlds history Is to
be fought, and doubtless refers to
the valley in the vicinity of Mount
Megiddo in the northern part of
Palestine. II was In this valley
that two famous battles were rbught
In olden times; one by the Chill
dren OF Israel under the direction
OF Gideon and the other under Barak,
in both of which the Lord gave
complete, victory to His people.
There are other texts of Scrip
ture which point to the land of
Palestine as the arena in which
the closing battles of this age will
be fought. Joel speaks of the heath
.en being gathered together into the
valley OF Jehoshaphat, after having
converted their instruments of agri-
culture into implements OF war.
That the Battle OF Armageddon"
is not many years in the future
there is ground for belief from the
study of the prophecies, but that
the present war will culminate in
that battle there Is no definite as
surance. The following reasons
would seem to indicate that "Arma-
geddon" might be delayed for a
time: All nations. not excepting
the United States and the republics
of South America, and especially
the Kings of the East" tRevelation
1924, Joel S:12) doubtless In
Guiding China, Japan, and India, will
take part In that battle. The bat
tie takes place under the sixth
plague, which would doubtless fol-
low the first ite. all of which are
still in the future. The awakening
of Japan and China and the present
unrest in India indicate that the
day may not be far distant when
the kings of the east win play an
important part in the controversies
OF the nations.
IL the present war continues 1t
will result in sapping the strength
of the nations of Europe and thus
lessen their power to cope with the
fast developing eastern nations.
That the "Armageddon" OF prophecy
will come as predicted we do not
doubt, and the present war In Eur
ope may be the prelude to II, but
there Is reasonable basis for the
hope that the present strife win
be followed by brief time of peace,
during which time the heather ma
tions OF the east and the Moham-
madam power will prepare to meet
the nations of the west. OF one
thing. the prophetic word has not
left us in doubt, viz. that the
history Of this world viii close amid
stormy times.

other defendants were then unduly
