PORTO RICO SUGAR
 CROP OUTLOOK IS BETTER THAN EVER
Uniform High Prices and Great Crop Indicate
 Big Season.

San Juan, Porto. Rico, March a. Sugar valued at $1O,O0O.O00 is being marketed by Porto Rico this month. Every ship to the United States is car rying capacity loads. The months deliveries present probably not more than 25 per cent. of the value of the sugar produced this season. Most of the sugar is being sold on a rising market at prices considerably above $5 per hundred pounds. F.
 Never before in the history of the island have the sugar men had such a large crop nor prospects of such uniform high prices. The islands pro duction it is estimated, will be in the neighborhood of 38O,OO0 tons, an in crease of approximately 75,000 tons over last year. And under present market conditions it is expected that the whole crop will be sold at an av- craze of five cents per pound, or bet ter. Large sales this week were re- ported at $5.22 San Juan, equal to l$5.4O New York.
 Labor troubles which developed at the beginning of the cane harvest in January have practically all subsided and the grinding season is now at it's height. At but ono point in the isl- and, Arecibo, are3 there any labor troubles at present and these are ex- pected to be settled at any moment.
 In practically every instance the la pOEeTS nave T6CG1V6Q an increase III wages and shorter hours of labor. For the first time in the history of the su- gar industry the sugar. planters have granted the field. labor an eight hour day. One of the largest mills in the island, the Fajardo Sugar Company, signed a contract with it's laborers providing for a minimum wage of 75 cents day on a nine-hour basis. This same company has also placed all of it's employees in the sugar mill proper on a wage based on the price of su- gar. Already they have received bo- nDses high as thirty per cent. in addition to their salary.
 The cause Of the strikes during the present crop, according to the Bureau of Labor of the InsuIar Government, which has just issued report on 1t, was due to the fact that at the end of the last grinding season the em- ployers reduced wages to the same scale in force before the 1915 strike and the Iaborers were again compell- ed to strike to regain their former in- creases. This report indicates that the wages paid the sugar laborers are not at all in proportion with the pres ent prosperity of the sugar men.

woo1EN's BIGGER FHEr.

A veteran shoe store clerk recently quoted as saying that 40 years ago the prevailing sizes of women's shoes were from No. ] to No. 1-2. while now they are from No. 1-2 to MO. <. He attributes the change to women's more NathIetic pursuits.
 But while our mothers did not play lawn tennis and dance SO much, yet they worked 12 hours 3 day7on house. work. which should equally develop the feet. No doubt the feeling that it is foolish to wear too small shoes has caused some changes. Whatever the cause, many observers will agree that women are growing taller and larger and the feet gEow with the rest of the body
 Small feet used to be considered a sign of beauty. Some cities, no- tably Chicago and St. Louis, used to jolly each other interminabIy about the size of the feet of their respective girls. This old idea sounds rather like the Chinese who to produce small feet re- sorted to foot binding. In this work ing age, the business girl is quite as likely to do her work comfortably on a No. shoe as a No. 2.

War Office Refuses To Exempt Editors
 And Their Helpers

London, March 22.The War Of flee has refused to exempt from army service a great many newspaper men and women who have been designated by the Newspaper Proprietors' Asso- ciation Of London as essential to the work Of publishing the local papers.
 Art editors, photographers and dark room operators are not considered as editorial staff employees by the War Ohice and it refuses to exempt them from military service. The same ruling was applied to all socie- ty editors, fiction editors. sporting ed- itars and headline writers. Sah-edi- tors (copy readers) were for some un- explained reason considered more es- sentiaI to the papers than any of the other members of the staffE.
 The general principle to be follow cd the War Office ruled, ifs that the men to be exempted are serving some vital purpose during a. time of war;
 Many of the leading London papers were careful to publish a notice read ing much like this: "It should be mentioned that the editor Of the Lon don Blank has not applied for ex- emption or postponemeht of service in any case of any war age man on the editorial stah.s

 Should a man fail to appreciate the charms of womankind owing to the fact that he is married? Should he willingly go blindfolded through life intent upon seeing but one woman onlyT-his wife?
 There are women who expect their husbands to take this view of the sit uation. They are surprised when at last he begins to fret and fume over i the dull sameness, the monotony, of home life. She fears the possibility that he might long to break away, tc' see what liveliness may be found else- where She concludes that her wisest plan would be to invite to their home some of the jolly married couples iv- ing near by to spend the evenings.
 Her husband is pleased with the idea The couple living in the flat above with the ever-ready laugh on their lips and always calling each other pet names she has never thought much of before. Now she concludes that they would prove the salvation of her.home.
 They are only too pleased to accept her hospitality The wife in the hat above is surprised to find that her neighbor knows nothing of bridge, that she hasn't been inside a theatre for years and never had an automobile ride. "I shall have to initiate you into all those pleasures, declares the bright young friend. She adds, My husband is so fond of those things that am obliged to keep abreast of them"
 The upstairs neighbor dons her pret- | tiest dress and the wife notices she is quite dolled up, her hair curled, her pretty nose powdered and a dab of rouge on her cheeks. After they have gone upstairs. the wife is pleased to hear her husband say. Your neigh Dor is charming! She kept me leASgh- ing from the time she entered the door until she left. Are they soon to come again?''
 His good wife is pleased, and is only too anxious to have them repeat their visit. While she fusses and fumes in the kitchen to get up good things to tempt their appetites her 1iege lord sows interest in tidying himself up. He fishes out his white vest and tries Hon a dozen neckties before he is satis- fled that he has selected the one most beconing to him. His wife has often heard him declaring that such a tie is more fitted for a youth of seventeen than for a sensible mttn Of five and lthirty
 The intimacy between the two cou- pies ripens rapidly. They are together every evening. Tn less than a month, the gates of reserve have been thrown open wide, The lady upstairs calls tho uospailu s7f tHe Wonpan WnO uVsS De- low Jack" He in turn calls her Emma She whispers In his ear. presumably secrets about the game.

 All of sudden the bubble of happf- ness between the two families bursts The man and his wife in the lat above have 3, violent quarrel. The husband below barely escapes having suit for alienation on his hands, His wife has learned her lesson. A married woman cannot be too careful in choosing her intimate friends and discafdjng those who have no respect for the home ties. f

Irrigation Planned
 For Portugal's Use

Lisbon. March 22sThe war has turned the attention of the Portuguese people to the aerirultural situation of the country Although Portugal is regarded as principally a farming country. 1t has to import sometimes az much as half the amount of wheat required. for the years home con sumption.
 The years when there have been the 1arEeet fmpoftations of whsaf have been years of hard times. when there was a gr@at deal of idIeneas and at the same time a great deal of waste land. which might well have been de- voted to wheat raising. Under war cpndifions q shortage in the home wheat crop might very nearly spell starvation, on account of the difficult ty and cost of ocean freights-
 The true remedy. according to Por- tugueae eroncTnists, is to be sought in Agricultural 1neaAures in sParlia- ment to encourage the sowing of more wheat, corn and rye. The Min ister of Public Works has prepared bills to provide for the irrigation of Alemtejo. which should prove excel lent farming country, to encourage rice growing, and to inaugIirate the production of beet sugar, which at present sells at over 12 cents .. pound.
 Mrs. Herbert Aequith wife of the Prime Minister, has settled for $5,000 and costs her libel suit against the London Globe, which printed stories of her friendliness to the Germans.
