AMERICAN SUGAR.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The United States ought TO pro-
duce its own sugar. Germany gets
sugar enough from the beet to supply
its own people. and in normal times
has surplus for export In making
sugar Germany leads all countries
Yet the United States grows cane as
well as beets, and its per capita con-
sumption of sugar Is much larger
than that of any other people. Cur
sugar industry mas been subject TO a
yaccillating policy, and is now in a
state OF suspense. According to the
present Democratic law the duties on
sugar will cease May 1 next. They
now bring $4,000 900 a year 10 the
national treasury. and that Is running
behind as matters stand. Tie new
Congress that meets in December
will have this problem on hand. or.
rather, two problems. one the de-

IMPORTANT REFORMS

The work OF the New York constf
tutional convention has been com
pleted. and all issues before that body
appear TO have been handled in a
broad, constructive manner. or all
the reforms Incorporated in the or
Eanic law. the adoption OF the short
ballot. reducing the elective officers
OF the State to four. governor. lieuten
ant governor. comptroller and attorney
general; the reorganization of the
State departments. reducing them from
152 to Is. by abolishing some and
grouping others, are perhaps the most
significant accomplishments. The re
duction OF the number OF the elective
ofhcers will correct in some measure
the evils Of the direct primary. by

elected TO a position whose duties he
would be incapable OF performing

The European war has been
filled with surprises. none greater
than those which have developed
in the field of surgery. Among
the most strange and. to the sur
geon's eye. interesting are the in
Juries commonly referred TO as
wind Commissions. Let US remem-
Der that gunpowder always blew
up but that modern explosives de-
tomato in all directions. and we
will have the key to the most inn
portant factor in the explanation
OF these mystifying Commissions.
The older writer's on Military
surgery ought to attribute injur-
les occurring under this designa-
ton to the force exerted by the
wind of the shot" as the projec-
tile passed within a few inches or
feet OF the patient.
In the days OF low velocity pro-
jectiles this class OF wind con-
tusions" was seen by many mill
tary surgeons. Hollow and solid
organs in the abdomen suffered
extensive decorations ending in
death. Bones OF the limbs and
skull were shattered. and yet no
evidence OF external injury was
present.
The explanation OF Longmore.

Army. and Larrey. Napoleon's
Chief Surgeon. has gone far to ex-
plain the effects noted in the
wind Commissions" OF those days.
They believed that the injuries
were caused as a result OF pres
sure OF heavy projectiles having
slow momentum against a tough
elastic skin. They figured that
the blow was delivered obliduely
and that the elastic skin when
yielding favored extreme pressure
of the more resistent structures
beneath. thus crushing tissues
like bones. and internal organs
in the abdominal cavity.
Changes in ornaments seem to
have increased this number of I'M
classified injuries which for a bet
ter term. still come to be consid-
cred in modern wars by the name

cent lecture Paul Ravaut, a prom
