HOOVER FLAILS SPRECKLESF0R
 HIS STATEMENT

A few days ago The Citizen pub lishcd a dispatch stating that Spree kles. the sugar magnate. blamed the shortage of sugar in the east on the national food administration headed by Herbert Hoover Yester- day morning Luther C. Hess re ceiyed wire from Royal A Gun nison. food administrator at Juneau, quoting statements of Mir. Hoover with regard to Spreckles' charges
 The wire received from Hoover was as follows:
 Anything I have to say to Mir. Spreckles statement will be said in due time to the committed It, to- day, requires no proof from me to establish that MT. Spreckles, lead ing sugar refiner, is sore at the food administration and would like to see it destroyed. Mir. Spreckles' bal ance sheet will not look as good next year as last, for the refiners' pro its have been regulated Hence. he has reason to feel badly.
 There are other citizens who feel the same way and no doubt can entertain the public by assauting the food administration. A vest ma joTity of men and women of our business community and of our farm CTS are sacrificing the fair profits daily to the nations necessities with out complaint.
 We have had two months of par tial sugar shortage, October and No yember, and will have a December shortage before relief from the new crop.
 Americans have had 5O0,0OO tons of sugar in these two months. This is 75 per cent of their normal sup plies in each month, and If cars are available, they will have 70 per cent in December.
 Car shortage has been most acute in the northeast. Two hundred cars today are blocked from that region
 This 70 per cent Is twice the French ration In the meantime we have given France good part of the 30 per cent and are proud of it. We have agreed to draw 10000 tons for OlII friends in Canada and have yet to meet an American who would have it otherwise.
 As to the food administration topping sources of supplies, the fact that ali available supplies have been brought there that ships and cars could bring, and that it has already been eaten is sufficient answer
 If Mir Spreckles will tell us where there is any sugar today that ships can be obtained to deliver, 1t will be delivered at once, with the same resolution that we have requisitioned and distributed over 600.000,000 pounds of embargoed sugar since the first of October In the mean time, the 900,000 tons of sugar in Java is as remote as cheese out of the moon, unless we wish to take the bread ships from our own sol diers and the allies to provide our elves with candy"

.C BUT PAY DAY MARCH
 AT CAMP LEWIS

SAN FRANCISCO.-That the boys of the National army are rap,dly ad- justing themselves to camp life and enjoying 1t is indicated in practically all the letters which are written home. The following is from a veteran" of the first contingent who is training at Camp Lewis, near Ia coma, Washington:
 Camp Lewis has changed rapidly in the last ten days as result of the thou5ands of new men pouring in. The first quota of five per cent with which l came, barely made a showing on the lower end of the big parade ground. now 1t is necessary to have each company assigned to a small area so a. not to run afoul of another group of recruits With about 25,000 men drilling at the same time, the field presents busy place.
 "The vets of two weeks had an opportunity last week to see what they looked like. Commencing on the nineteenth and continuing for prac- tically a week, special trains were pouring in from all sections of the west with thousands of men daily. Upon arrival at the Cantonment the men were directed to a long shed, divided into runways, or sections for men from different states. At the rear of the runway on an elevated platform was the officers who called of the names The recruits were then formed into double files and marched off to barracks to which they had been assigned.
 Tt seemed as if the procession would never end. At all hours of the day and night one could see or hear marching columns.
 Recently the regiment recruited
 ome buglers and thus far We have learned everything except the Pay day March. Gu1ss that will come shortly, as the first arrivals were mu tered in this morning and signed the payroll. Later when Uncle Sam has 4G,000 men to pay and about s1.500.000 Is handed out each pay day, things should be lively.
 Buildings contiue to spring up here and there like mushrooms, but the camp Is practically complete now. A couple of day. ago the carpenters fni5hcd our regimcntal hogpital and regimental Y. NJ. C. A. building. The latter is not occupied as yet, how ever The Y M is doing a wonderful work for the men in the camps and the country in general. The big tent being used temporarily Is damned nightly by the men of the 363d On certain nights each week there are movies. At the tent the men find writing materials and tables, maga- zines and candies. A few nights ago one of the latest comic reels was being thrown on a screen stretched in the open The audience stood up and comment was not lacking. A good pianist and several trained voices contributed to the amateur entertainment.

I'm the esteem of fashion for mid

As It Is they flourish with equal sue

of the lovely, interminable procession

along this same path, some new
touches have been found to distin-
guish the dresses of this years gradu-

and novel decorations make them in

flnement Of net and organdie make
them beautiful.

year, satisfies her housewifely in
stincts by getting Sunday.night tea in
her own apartment by aid of chatting
dish, a coffee percolator and one
burner gas stove with a little oven
about as big as baby's hatbox.
II is surprising how many delectable
things can be baked in this absurd lit
tie oven. Out of It come small layer
cakes, pans of light biscuit, toothsome
little drop cakes, small pans Of piping.

for the Sunday night supper. The lit
tie oven bakes only q small quantity
enough biscuit for four persons, twice
around, and layer cake which makes
six good-sized slices; but the Sunday
night opportunities to have taste OF
real home cooking are much appreci.

dwell in boarding places.
No woman with fastidious taste
and thought for her neighbors-would
venture to cook steak or fry potatoes

cooking are not supposed to permeate I;
